BY:

ATTEST:
Brad Buller, Secretary
I, Brad Buller, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and
regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held
on the 22nd day of July 1992, by the following vote-to-wit:

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
J. y 22, 1992 STAFF REPORT
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: VARIANCE 92-02 - SILVA - A request to reduce the required interior
side yard setback from 5 feet to 6 inches from the property line for a
single family home in the Low Residential district (2-4 dwelling units
per acre), located at 10077 Ironwood Street - APN: 1077-041-64.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the Variance
through adoption of the attached Resolution and direct the applicant to correct
the non-conformity within 30 days from this hearing-
ANALYSIS:
A. Background: The applicant had obtained a building permit on April 5, 1989,
to construct a patio cover in the rear yard and a carport in the side yard.
The approved plans (as shown in Exhibit "C") showed that a 5-foot side yard
setback is required for the carport- The last inspection was on January 23,
1991. According to the Building and Safety Division, a building permit is
valid for a period of 180 days from the last (latest) inspection. Therefore,
the building permit for the patio cover and carport would have expired on
July 23, 1991. A routine inspection by Building and Safety staff on January
9, 1992, documented that the carport structure was almost completed, without
the benefit of valid building permits and necessary inspections, nor
compliance with the setback requirements. Attached for your reference is a
brief chronology for this application (Exhibit "A").
B. Evaluation of the Proposed Variance: The applicant's intended use of the
carport is to store a boat. They built the carport, as it currently exists
within the 5-foot side yard setback, to make it easier to back the boat into
the carport- A copy of the applicant's letter of request is attached for
your review-
A review of the site plan and a site visit indicates that the northeast
corner of the garage is set back 16 feet from the side property line at the
closest point- Staff believes that the applicant can modify the carport
structure to meet the 5-foot setback and still have a carport wide enough to
store the boat, as shown in Exhibit "E." Since the driveway depth as
measured from the curb face is 31 feet, there should be enough maneuvering
area to back the beat into the carport- It is true a wider space between the
carport post and the garage would make it easier to maneuver the boat in and
out; however, variances require legal findings of hardship and should not be
granted on the basis of convenience, i.e., it's easier to maneuver the boat
in and out.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VAR 92-02 - SILVA
July 22, 1992
Page 2
Regarding the applicant's claim that they were given the "ok" by the Building
and Safety Division to encroach into the 5-foot side yard setback, it cannot
be verified. No one in the Building and Safety Division recalls granting
such approval, nor did they have the authority to do so.
C. Facts for Findings: In order to grant this Variance, the Planning Commission
must make all of the findings as listed below:
1- That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
Staff Comment: Staff believes that the setback could be met and still
provide adequate room to store the boat.
2- That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same
zone.
Staff Comment: The applicant has made no claims of unusual
circumstances other than the location of utilities within the public
right-of-way making it difficult to back the boat in.
3. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same zone.
Staff Comment: The minimum setback of 5 feet would still allow for a
carport structure in this location.
4- That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties
classified in the same zone.
Staff Comment: A reduction in the required setback from 5 feet to only
6 inches would be a special privilege not afforded other property owners
in this zone.
5. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
D. Options for the Applicant to Considler: The following options would meet the
City's setback requirements while still providing room for storage of the
boat within the side yard area:
1. Relocate the wood post to be 5 feet from the property line. The post
would be set back further from the street, i.e., 34 feet as measured
from the curb to increase the clearance area for maneuvering the boat
trailer into the carport.

2. Remove the carport structure. The concrete slab can remain as shown - 6
inches from the property line. Construct a 5-foot high solid fence and
gate from the east property line to the building for screening the boat.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the site has been posted, and notices were sent
to all property owners within 300 feet of the project site.

Re: Variance (Silva)
To whom it may concern:
I'll try to sum up the situation as best I can. When we first pulled
permits we knew we could only go 5'feet to the property line but
we explained our situation (along with our concrete contractor) to
someone in the building department and were given the ok to go to
the property line. We had to make some changes though and that
included a complete outside wall with stucco and hot mop the roof
and slightly slopeit. The inspector came out and ok'd the slab and'
roof but now our file can not be located and we'd like to finish.
We are filing for the variance for several reasons. One is that most
of the work is completed and we would hate to take it down.
Second, we were ok'd at one point but the paper work can not be
found. Third is we need the extra area to back in the boat. We are
hindered by a light post, edison underground opening and cable boxes
in the front of the area where we start our approach. With the
post of the overhang we can not back it in with the 5'foot ruling.
The fourth reason being we would like to keep the boat covered to
protect it from the harsh weather and last reason is we are not able
to put it in the garage because of it's length.
We would like your approval so that we may keep our neighborhood
looking neat and clean and not have it exposed it to the front. If
you should have any questions to this regards we ask that you give
Dave or I. a call at (714) 944-6881.

covered with gravel and was previously used for truck storage- A small shed
is located south of the building and a chain link perimeter fence surrounds
the site.
F. Parking Calculations:

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to utilize the site as the corporate
head office for operations in the western U.S.A., as well as the district
office and storage facility for the sale and rental of mobile and modular
office units. Corporate offices will be located in the existing 7,400 square
foot building, while the modular units will be stored in the large lot behind
the building-
B. Compatibilit~ of Uses: Subarea 9 is zoned for Minimum Impact Heavy
Industrial activities such as manufacturing; wholesale, storage, and
distribution; fleet storage; building equipment and supplies; and repair
services- To the west is a pallet manufacturing company and south of the
site are railroad tracks and warehousing operations- The land to the east is
vacant and on the north side of Jersey Boulevard are some small manufacturing
operations- Given that the primary use of the site is storage with ancillary
offices, it does not appear that any land use compatibility problems could
arise as a result of the proposed use.
C. Histor~ of the Site: The current property owner, Commercial Carriers,
applied for a Minor Development Review in 1987 to expand the parking lot and
construct a new driveway for an existing automobile distributing business.
The City Planner approved the request with conditions requiring the applicant
to upgrade the site to comply with current development standards, including
the installation of landscaping within the required 35-foot streetscape
setback- Commercial Carriers appealed all the conditions of approval but the
appeal was denied by both the Planning Commission and City Council, thereby
upholding the City Planner's original conditions of approval-
The proposal submitted by Atco Structures complies with the development
standards of the Industrial Area Specific Plan and the Development Code- The
conditions of approval for the project are consistent with those previously
required of the Commercial Carriers proposal.
D. Upgrading of the Site: The site was originally developed prior to
incorporation of the City and does not comply with current development
standards. Therefore, it should be upgraded to bring it into conformance
with the minimum requirements of the district. The existing parking area and
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

drive approaches are to be replaced with landscaping within the required
streetscape setback area and a new parking lot and access drive for the
storage area is proposed to be constructed west of the building. In
addition, a meandering sidewalk, street lights, and street trees will be
required.
E. Environmental Assessment: Upon review of Part I, the Initial StudyI and
completion of Part II of the Environmental Checklist, staff has found no
significant impacts related to the proposed use- It will be necessary to
remove several of the trees along Jersey Boulevard to construct the new
parking lot and drive approaches- A Tree Removal Permit will be required
when a grading plan is submitted showing which trees will be impacted by the
required improvements-
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Commission must make all of the following findings in
order to approve this application:
A. That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of
the Development Code, and the purposes of the Industrial Area Specific Plan
subarea in which the site is located.
B. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity ·
C. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan-
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and notices were
sent to the adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
Conditional Use Permit 92-19 through adoption of the attached Resolution of
Approval and issuance of a Negative Declaration.

The corporate head office of ATCO Structures Inc.,
which would be located in the existing building at the
Rancho Cucamonga property, is responsible for and
manages the operations of six districts in western
U.S.A. These districts are located in Seattle,
Washington; Denver, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona;
Sacramento, CA; San Diego, CA; and Ontario, CA (which
would be relocated to Rancho Cucamonga, as well). ATCO
employs over 60 people in total at these locations.
Please see attached brochure for description of our
product and business.
Our proposed operation in Rancho Cucamonga consists of
the following:
- Corporate Head Office - 7 employees manage and
provide accounting, computer and human resources
administration and support to six operating
districts in western U.S.A. Hours of operation
are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 P.m., Monday to Friday.
Please see office floor plan attached.
- District Office - 15 employees are responsible for
sales, rentals, service and administration of our
product lines in the Southern California
marketplace. Hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 85-04 - ETIWANDA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

ANALYSIS:
A. Background: In 1984, the City designated the Chaffey-Garcia House
as a local landmark, to commemorate the achievements and
accomplishments of the Chaffey brothers and the impact they had on
the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Because of impending development in
the area of the original site, however, a suitable site had to be
found for the house relocation. After some searching, a lot in
Etiwanda was donated to the City by the William Lyon Company for
the relocation and the house was donated to the City by Lewis
Homes. Prior to the relocation of the house, the City and the
Etiwanda Historical Society entered into an agreement that would
allow for the restoration of the house and its use as a museum to
display artifacts and memorabilia- The agreement allows the
Society to complete improvements as funds become available. A
condition of the agreement requires the final barn plans to be
approved by the City Council. As a result, the Commission's action
will be in the form of a recommendation to the City Council.
On February 27, 1985, Planning Commission originally approved
Conditional Use Permit 85-04 for the relocation of the Chaffey-
Garcia house from its location at East and Sun~ait Avenues to its
current location on Etiwanda Avenue. In addition to the relocation
of the house, the Planning Commission also approved a Master Plan
for the site providing for the future construction of a barn on the
western half of the property-
B- General: While the Commission did approve the Master Plan for the
future barn construction, the specific design of the barn was not
available for review- Partially because of the $100,000.00
contribution by Foothill Marketplace Partners (Wattson Company),
adequate funds are now available for the barn construction. As a
result, the final design of the barn is now being submitted for
consideration. The construction of the 2,500 square foot barn will
provide a site that is consistent with the original site on which
the Chaffey-Garcia House was located, thereby reinforcing the
historic character of the house. Further, the barn design is
consistent with the character of the original barn. Additionally,
landscaping (citrus trees, grapevines, etc.) will be installed to
reinforce the agricultural roots of the community- The one bedroom
residential unit on the upper floor of the barn will be used as a
caretaker's residence to provide security for the site.
C. Design Review Committee Comments: The Design Review Committee
(McNeil, Chitiea, Coleman) reviewed the proposal on June 18,
1992. At that time, the Committee recommended approval of the
project subject to the following comments:
1. The use of chain link fencing with oleanders was acceptable
along the south side of the parking lot.

2. The doors on the south elevation, should receive a decorative
finish, such as'applying a 1-inch x 12-inch board on the door
with 1-inch x 8-inch surrounds to match doors on the other
three elevations-
3. A security gate should be provided at the bottom entrance to
the stairs.
D. Environmental Assessment: Conditional Use Permit 85-04 was
originally approved by the Planning Commission on February 27,
1985, and a Negative Declaration was issued for the project. As
part of this approval, plans for the barn at the rear of the
property were considered in approving a master plan for the site.
Because the application was in substantial conformance with the
master plan, the Negative Declaration issued for the original
Conditional Use Permit adequately addressed the environmental
impacts of the project. Therefore, no additional environmental
assessment is required.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The project is consistent with the General Plan,
the Development Code, and the Victoria Planned Community- The project
will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or cause significant
adverse environmental impacts. In addition, the proposed use and site
plan, together with the recommended conditions of approval, are in
compliance with all applicable provisions of the Victoria Planned
Community, the Development Code, and City standards.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin as a Public Hearing, notices were sent to all property
owners within 300 feet of the site, and the site was posted.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the Modification to Conditional Use Permit 85-04 to the City
Council through adoption of the attached Resolution.

ANALYSIS:
A. Background: On June 27, 1990, the Planning Commission approved the
Conceptual Master Plan and Phase 1 Site Plan and elevations for
Central Park Plaza. As part of the Master Plan, a fast food
restaurant with drive-thru was shown at the location of the
proposed Carl's Jr. Subsequently, a portion of Phase 1 (Ralph's
and retail stores) has been completed. As a condition of approval
of the original Conditional Use Permit, satellite pads depicted on
the Master Plan require separate review and approval by the Design
Review Committee and the Planning Commission.
B. General: The applicant is proposing to construct a 3,275 square
foot fast food restaurant with drive-thru facility fronting onto
Milliken Avenue, just north of the main entry drive. The plans for
the restaurant include a drive-thru lane with stacking available
for 6 vehicles and outdoor seating with children's play equipment
(i.e., ball crawl).
C- Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel,
Melcher, Kroutil) has reviewed the plans for the proposed drive-
thru facility on two separate occasions- The initial plans
reviewed by the Con~nittee oriented entries toward the north parking
area and toward Milliken Avenue. The drive-thru lane was proposed
between the building and Milliken Avenue and between the building
and the shopping center entry driveway to the south. The Committee
recommended that revisions be incorporated into the plans to
address the following comments:
1. The landscaping and wall along the drive-thru lane, plus the
slight grade differential, was not adequate to screen the
stacking area. Alternatives should be explored by the
applicant.
2. The loading area proposed was not acceptable because delivery
trucks would park in the main drive aisle (along the east side
of the building), thereby obscuring vehicle traffic. The
loading area and service entry relationship should be
re-evaluated.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-37 - CARL KARCHER
July 22, 1992
Page 3
3. The use of the quarter-round awning appeared "added-on" and
should be removed.
4. The east elevation (service area) should be enhanced to create
a more acceptable design facing the activity of the center.
5. The drive-thru canopy needs to be more integrated into the
design of the building and the center. The pre-cast columns,
consistent with the center, was a step in the right direction.
6. The awning color should be evaluated with the redesign.
Subsequently, the applicant submitted the revised plans for review
by the Design Review Committee (see attached Exhibits). While not
reviewing the plans in detail, the Committee (McNiel, Melcher,
Kroutil) felt that the changes made provided for a better design
but they expressed serious reservations about allowing a drive-thru
facility at this location. The Co~nittee questioned whether or not
a drive-thru facility along Milliken Avenue was the appropriate
land use. Additionally, the Committee felt that the loading for
the facility was not adequately addressed. As a result, the
Committee could not recommend approval. Rather than continuing to
make revisions to the plan, the applicant has requested that the
project be scheduled for the Planning Commission to discuss these
issues.
D. Drive-thru Polic~: In May, 1988, the Planning Commission adopted
interim design goals and policies for businesses with drive-thru
facilities (see Exhibit "F"). During the discussion and formation
of policies, the Burger King facility at Base Line Road and Haven
Avenue was being processed through the various Committees. As a
result, many of the goals and policies contained in the Resolution
were implemented at the Burger King site. While the U-shaped
design minimized visibility of the drive-thru lane from Haven
Avenue, other concerns surfaced about the pedestrian and vehicular
circulation. As a result, the drive-thru policies continue to be a
source of discussion. With the recent submittal of five drive-thru
facilities, the discussion has increased dramatically in the past
two months. As a result, staff is requesting the Commission
provide direction for this drive-thru facility and future
submittals as they relate to the interim policies.
In considering the current submittal, the Planning Commission
should consider the following:
1. The interim policies state that the drive-thru lane shall be
screened through building orientation and the use of a
combination of low screen walls, heavy landscaping, and
trellis work.

2. The applicant is proposing to orient the drive-thru lanes
parallel to Milliken Avenue and the entry drive.
3. The drive-thru lane will be slightly above the grade of the
entry drive, at roughly the same grade as Milliken Avenue at
the southern portion of the site, and below the grade of
Milliken Avenue at the northern end of the site.
4- The applicant is proposing to construct a 4-foot high solid
wall with 4 feet of lattice work on top of the wall to screen
the drive-thru lane. Landscaping will be installed adjacent
to the wall to supplement the existing landscaping installed
with Phase 1-
5. No clearly designated loading area is shown with the
submittal. The applicant has indicated that they will receive
deliveries from smaller trucks that will not block the drive
aisles.
6. Recent Planning Commission approvals for drive-thru facilities
have been for locations generally below the street grade and
where the stacking area is located to the side and rear of the
building (away from the street)-
7. The Design Review Committee recently reviewed a drive-thru
facility with the stacking area along a major arterial. This
stacking area was slightly below the street grade and
retaining/screen walls were incorporated along the drive-thru
lane to screen the cars. This solution was found to be
acceptable by the Design Review Con~ittee.
E. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: After having completed the Environmental
Checklist, staff has determined that the proposed fast food
facility will not have a significant impact on the environment-
Therefore, if the Planning Commission approves the Conditional Use
Permit, a Negative Declaration should also be issued.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Co~ission to approve the
Conditional Use Permit application, the following findings must be made:
A. That the proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code and Terra Vista Planned
Community, and the purposes of the district in which the site is
located.
B. That the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity.

C. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code and the Terra Vista Planned
Community.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in
the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been
posted, and notices have been sent to all property owners within
300 feet of the site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive
all written and oral testimony on the proposed project. After receiving
all information, there are two options available to the Planning
Commission:
1- If the Commission feels there are sufficient facts to support

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA ESTABLISHING INTERIM DESIGN GOALS AND
POLICIES FOR BUSINESSES WITH DRIVE-THRU FACILITIES
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has expressed numerous concerns with
businesses that have drive-thru facilities including, but not limited to, fast
food restaurants. The concerns are compatibility of use, circulation, and
visual and aesthetic appearance. Previous projects have not adequately
addressed these concerns, especially in the screening of the drive-thru lane;
and
WHEREAS, there is a need to establish a design goal for businesses
with drive-thru facilities to guide future development; and
WHEREAS, development standards and design guidelines are necessary to
implement the design goal for businesses with drive-thru facilities; and
WHEREAS, such development standards and design guidelines are needed
to provide clear direction and guidance to developers and staff alike.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Commission does hereby establish interim policies for businesses with drive-
thru facilities as follows:
Secti on 1: Goal Statement
The intent of the gui deli nes i s to assi st the designer i n
understanding and complying with the City standards for
building and site design. The goal is to provide high
quality design, compatibility of use, and mitigate
environmental and aesthetic concerns that are created by
this type of land use. The following design standards and
guidelines shall apply to uses with drive-thru facilities
typically including, but not limited to, fast food
restaurants, banks, mini-markets, dairy, photo kiosks, or
auto service.
Secti on 2: Development Standards
A. Location - Uses with drive-thru facilities shall be
300 feet away from any intersection and from another
drive-thru facility on the same side of the street,
except within a shopping center or Master Plan.
Restaurants with drive-thru facilities shall be a
minimum of 200 feet away from any residential use or
district boundary.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUiiUN NU.
DRIVE-THRU INTERIM DESIGN GOALS/POLICIES
May 11, 1988
Page 2
B. Site Area - Uses with drive-thru facilities shall have
a minimum 1 acre net land area. This minimum land
area may be modified when the drive-thru facility is
within a Master Plan or an integrated shopping center
through the Design Review process.
C. The minimum floor area for drive-thru facilities shall
be 2,500 square feet. The minimum floor area for a
drive-thru facility other than a fast food restaurant
may be modified through the Design Review process.
D. The maximum site coverage shall be 40 percent of the
net lot area. The minimum on-site landscaping, which
includes articulated plazas, courtyards, and patios,
shall be 15 percent of the net lot area exclusive of
public right-of-way.
E. Parking and the drive-thru lane shall be setback 45
feet from the ultimate curb face. Greater setbacks
may be required as mentioned in the Specific Plan and
as deemed necessary during the Design Review process.
Section 3: Design Guidelines
A. Site Planning/Building Orientation - Future drive-thru
facilities in a Master Plan or shopping center shall
be identified early in the review process to avoid
retrofitting the uses at a later date. The site
design shall minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts and
avoid locating driveways and service areas which
interfere with the flow of the on-site circulation.
Building placement shall be done in a manner to create
new pedestrian spaces and plaza area. Buildings shall
orient the public entrances toward the street.
Building layout should be oriented to screen the
drive-thru lane. Drive-thru lanes shall be screened
through building orientation, the use of a combination
of low screen walls, heavy landscaping, and trellis
work. Separate pay windows and pick-up windows should
be provided.
B. Stacking Distance/Parking - The drive-thru lane shall
be a sufficient length to accommodate the necessary
stacking of cars. The stacking distance shall be
determined through a parking study as stated in
Section 17.12.040C, Special Requirements of the
Parking Ordinance. Each drive-thru lane shall be
separate from the circulation route necessary for
ingress and egress from the property or access to any
· parking spaces within the site.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
DRIVE-THRU INTERIM DESIGN GOALS/POLICIES
May 11, 1988
Page 3
C. Parking - The parking requirements for drive-thru
facilities shall be according to Section 17.12 of the
Parking Ordinance. The gross floor area for outdoor
seating shall be subject to the same parking
requirement.
D. Pedestrian Orientation - The Site Plan shall create
opportunities for courtyards and plazas and other
landscape open space to promote safe and convenient
pedestrian movement with continuous landscape pathway
between buildings. The design should discourage a
need for pedestrians to have to cross a drive-thru
wherever possible.
E. Architecture - Standardized "corporate" architectural
styles associated wit a chain is prohibited. Drive-
thru facilities within an integrated shopping center
or Master Plan must have architectural style
consistent with the theme established in the center.
Architecture must provide compatibility to surrounding
uses in form, materials, colors, scale, etc. Building
planes shall have variation in depth and angle to
create variety and interest in its basic form and
silhouette of the building. Articulation of building
surface shall be encouraged through the use of
openings and recesses which create texture and shadow
patterns. Building entrances shall be well
articulated and project a formal entrance through
variation of architectural plane, pavement surface,
treatment, and landscape plaza.
F. Signing - All signs shall conform with the provisions
of the Sign Ordinance. Drive-thru facilities within
an integrated shopping center or Master Plan must
comply with the Uniform Sign Program as established in
the center.
Section 4: Performance Standards
A. Special performance standards for restaurants with
drive-thru facilities: The use shall be operated in a
manner which does not interfere with the normal use of
:adjoining properties. If, in the opinion of the City
Planner, the provisions of this paragraph are being
violated, the violations shall be grounds for
reopening Conditional Use Permit hearings and adding
conditions to control the violation. Performance
standards include, but are not limited to the
following considerations, which, where appropriate,
shall be incorporated as conditions of approval in all
use permits as determined by the Planning Con~nission
or City Council:

is deposited on adjacent properties. For drive-
thru restaurants or other uses which typically
generate trash or litter, adequate trash
containers, as determined by the City Planner,
shall be required and employees shall be required
daily to pick up trash or litter originating from
the site upon the site and within 300 feet of the
perimeter of the property.
(3) All graffiti shall be removed within 72 hours.
(4) No undesirable odors shall be generated on the
site.
(5) The on-site manager of the use shall take
whatever steps are deemed necessary to assure the
orderly conduct of employees, patrons, and
visitors on the premises.
(6) A copy of these performance standards and all
Conditional Use Permit conditions of approval
shall be posted along side the necessary business
licenses and be visible at all times to
employees.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The facility was originally proposed to be located on a
vacant site on the west side of Hyssop Street, approximately 300
feet south of Seventh Street. The Design Review Committee (McNiel,
Chitiea, Kroutil) reviewed the project on October 17, 1991, and did
not recommend approval. The Committee felt the proposed location
adjacent to the freeway would create a negative visual impact from
the freeway. The Committee suggested relocating the use away from
the freeway in an existing industrial site where the equipment
could be better screened or placed within a building. Therefore,
the applicant selected a new site (see Exhibit "B").
The proposed project consists of a 40-foot x 20-foot equipment
building which will be placed inside the existing industrial
building and the placement of a 60-foot monopole in a landscaped
planter area at the northeast corner of the building (see Exhibit
"D"). The monopole will be enclosed by an 8-foot high masonry
wall. The enclosed area is approximately 10 feet x 10 feet in
area.
B. pesign Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Melcher,
Tolstoy, Coleman) reviewed the revised project on May 21, 1992, and
recommended approval with the following conditions:
1. The monopole should be painted a single color to match the
building-
2. The masonry enclosure should be painted concrete to match the
building-
3- Landscaping should be planted around the enclosure.
C- Technical Review Committee: The original proposal was reviewed and
approved by the Technical Review Committee on October 16, 1991.
Comments were elicited from the Technical Review Committee members
regarding the new location; however, no concerns were voiced-
D. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been
completed by the applicant- Staff has completed Part II of the
Environmental Checklist and found no significant impacts on the
environment as a result of this project.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: This project is consistent with the Industrial
Specific Plan, the Development Code, and the General Plan, and will not
be detrimental to adjacent properties or cause significant adverse
impacts. The proposed use, together with recommended conditions of
approval, is in compliance with all applicable regulations of the
Development Code.

Attn: Mr. Tom Grahn
Re: CUP Application 91-21
Dear Mr. Grahn:
Please accept our resubmittal of the above referenced application
for a Conditional Use Permit for a Cellular Telecommunications
Facility to be located at 9320 Hyssop Dr.
As advised by the head of the Design Review Board, we have placed
the monopole beside an existing commercial building in order to
lessen it ' s visual impact. Since the requirement to provide
coverage along Interstate 15 is paramount in our decision to locate
on this property, the placement of the monopole at the northeast
corner of the building will at least partially shield it from view.
The pole will be painted the same color as the building to the
roof-line and light blue above. The radio-transmission and related
equipment will be installed in a tenant-improvement to be located
inside the northwest corner of the building.
We are hoping so a successful outcome this go-around as the need
for improved cellular service is growing in that area.
Additionally, the requirement for adequate cellular service is
vital for the growing numbers of emergency services agencies which
utilize this efficient means of communication. I have enclosed-a
couple of recent magazine articles that illustrate this more
effectively than I am able.
L.A. Cellular also provides service to the CALTRANS installed "call
box" system we see along our freeways in Southern California. This
superior technology has allowed call boxes to be installed in areas
. I1 II
Box 6028, Cerritos, California02-6028 (310) 924-0000
previous considered too remote or too expensive when the system was
a "landline" (hardwire) one.
Hopefully, we can now consider this application complete and can
get underway again.
Thank you,

D. Site Characteristics: The site is approximately 27 acres in size
and slopes approximately 2 percent from north to south- The site
is generally vacant except for the existing "La Fourcade" stucco
building at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Rochester which is currently vacant, but which most recently housed
the Cowgirl Theater. Prior to this, the building was originally
utilized as a store and gasoline filling station and later as a
restaurant. The building is slated for demolition, however, it was
recently designated as an Historic Point of Interest by the City
Council. Approximately five Olive trees (Olea europa) were located
along the eastern side of the parcel and were removed with the
widening of Rochester Avenue-
E- Parking Calculations:
See Exhibit "A".
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to develop 32 buildings on 27
gross acres of land. Building 1 is a Jiffy Lube facility; Building
2, a Texaco gas station; and Building 32, a Midas Muffler Shop.
Buildings 30 and 31 are also automotive-type uses. An Automotive
Service Court concept was approved as part of Industrial Area
Specific Plan Amendment (ISPA) 92-02 (See Section C).
Building 3 is a fast food restaurant (Jack-In-The Box) with a
drive-thru lane. Building 5 is a proposed restaurant of 14,000
square feet. No architectural elevations have been submitted for
Building 5 as it is currently the site of the Victory Chapel. In
the future, a Development Review application will be required when
architectural elevations for the proposed restaurant are
submitted- Building 14 may possibly become the future location of
the Victory Chapel facility which is currently located in an
existing building on the site- A portion of Building 4 (4,000
square feet) is also proposed for restaurant use- All of the above
uses fall under the currently proposed Conditional Use Permit,
except for Victory Chapel which has a separate approved Conditional
Use Permit-
Buildings 15-29 in the southern portion of the site are proposed to
be used for multi-tenant industrial uses and possibly
warehousing. Buildings 8-13 in the center of the site are proposed
for Speciality Building Supplies and Home Improvement uses or
possibly multi-tenant industrial. Buildings 6 and 7 will most
likely be used as some type of office space.
B- BackgTound: The Planning Commission has conducted preliminary
courtesy workshops on this project on August 8, September 5, and
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI
July 22, 1992
Page 3
September 25, 1991. After the third workshop, a subcommittee of
the Planning Con~nission (McNiel, Melcher) was appointed to address
architectural issues. The subcommittee and staff met with the
applicants on October 10, and October 31, 1991. The subcommittee
then forwarded two alternative architectural concepts to the full
Planning Commission for review on November 13, 1991. At that
meeting, the Commission felt the more traditional of the two
architectural styles was the preferred concept and directed the
applicant to proceed in that direction.
C. Industrial Specific Plan Amendment: Concurrently with the CUP
application, the applicant submitted a request for an Industrial
Area Specific Plan Amendment. ISPA 92-02 was a three part
amendment which was reviewed by the Planning Commission on March
11, and March 25, 1992 and approved by the City Council on June 3,
1992 through Ordinance 496 (Exhibit "B"). The amendment modified
the three following aspects of the Industrial Area Specific Plan:
1. The local circulation pattern along Rochester Avenue was
modified to shift access points in a southerly direction.
2- An Auto Court use, consisting of automotive services and
related activities was added as a conditionally permitted use
in Subarea 7, subject to design guidelines.
3. Specialty Building Supplies and Home Improvement was added to
the list of conditionally permitted uses for Subarea 7.
All three of the above elements have been incorporated into the
Conditional Use Permit application- The northernmost driveway on
Rochester Avenue currently coincides with the revised access
location- An Auto Court use has been proposed in the northwest
portion of the site and has been reviewed for compliance with the
newly adopted design guidelines by the Design Review Committee.
Additionally, Specialty Building Supplies and Home Improvements
uses may potentially be located in the buildings in the center
portion of the site which are 25,000 square feet or less.
D. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNiel,
Melcher, Kroutil) reviewed site plan issues on April 16, 1992. The
applicant presented two alternatives at the meeting- Alternative A
indicated Buildings 6 and 7 at the extreme northeast corner of the
site and Building 5 (proposed restaurant) with 10,000 square
feet. Alternative B indicated the deletion of Building 7 and the
expansion of Building 5 to 14,000 square feet. The Committee did
not approve the project and requested that the following items be
revised and re-reviewed by the Design Review Co~nittee:
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI
July 22, 1992
Page 4
1. The Activity Center concept requires additional analysis and
the applicant should study all four corners of the
intersection to ensure that spatial relationships are
compatible. The applicant may wish to consider relocating the
drive aisle on Foothill Boulevard westerly in order to expand
Building 5 (Spaghetti Factory) to the west which could create
a more pleasing symmetry at the corner. The applicant might
also consider creating a pedestrian oriented courtyard or
other focal point at the corner and flanking it with buildings
along both Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue.
2. The screening of the Auto Court is acceptable as presented;
however, the on-site circulation pattern is problematic due in
part to the northerly driveway. There may also be on-site
traffic conflicts with automobiles exiting the car wash and
those entering the Jiffy Lube. The on-site circulation should
be carefully reconsidered and the northerly driveway into the
Auto Court should be deleted.
3- The applicant should provide more details for the Jack-In-The-
Box facility- The trash enclosure should be relocated closer
to the building- The applicant should consider a small
retaining wall at the corner to further screen the drive-thru
aisle. It would be awkward to screen the drive-thru lane with
the building; however, the use of trellis work and low screen
walls could be incorporated- The drive-thru policy also
requires that the buildings orient public entrances to the
street which the applicant has complied with- The southern
side of the facility has the potential for pedestrian plazas
and eating areas which has not been explored in the proposed
design-
4- The alignment of "A" Street (Masi Drive) is acceptable as a
straight street- The sidewalk should also be straight,
however, extensive landscaping should be provided along the
street frontage.
5. The landscaping adjacent to the buildings should be re-worked
as much as possible to provide wider planter areas in order to
accommodate tree plantings.
6. Details of lunch court areas should be worked out with
staff. The size of the eating areas is acceptable, but the
applicant should review the landscaping and str~t furniture
details with staff.
7. The parking layout adjacent to Buildings 8-12 should be
redesigned in order to provide the majority of the parking
aisles in a north/south direction- The Committee suggested
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI
July 22, 1992
Page 5
that there should be some type of continuous east/west drive
aisle that did not have parking spaces backing up onto it. It
was suggested that a scheme similar to the K-Mart Center could
be utilized which has a parking court in front of the main row
of buildings-
8- The required historic element should be incorporated into the
site design and presented to the Committee for review and
approval.
9- The wind chimes tower and the two fountains should be
integrated more carefully into the site plan.
10. The applicant should work with staff to resolve the on-site
circulation in the southern portion of the site. The
triangular shaped planters could be flattened out to provide a
straighter driving path from east to west.
11. The median along "A" Street should be deleted unless
Engineering staff will permit it. The applicant could also
move the median to the private drive aisle off of Foothill
Boulevard which would alleviate Engineering concerns.
The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Kroutil) reviewed
architectural issues at their May 7, 1992, meeting. In response to
written staff comments, the applicant brought modified
architectural elevations for several buildings to the meeting.
These modifications were reviewed by the Committee and the
following observations were made:
1. The design of the canopy element used throughout the project
needs to be explained graphically, in a larger scale- The
Committee also expressed serious reservations about the use of
fabric/mylar awnings in this high wind area-
2. The detailing of all auto court structures should resemble
more closely the other con~eercial/service buildings in the
project through the use of appropriate base material, cornice,
and window treatment. In particular, the car wash enclosure
and Buildings 31 and 43 require additional attention to be
more consistent with the rest of the project.
3- The 9-foot high auto court screen wall should retain 2-3 feet
of fill to reduce its apparent height from Foothill Boulevard.
4- In general, all structures should be more three-dimensional
with varying degrees of architectural treatment on all
sides- Appropriate architectural treatment should wrap around
the west elevation of Building 8, the west/northwest
elevations of Building 19, and south elevation of Building 20-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI
July 22, 1992
Page 6
The applicant also introduced an elevation of the south property
line. It was the Con~nittee's consensus that a 6-foot high wall, as
measured from the north side, would be adequate. It was noted that
tree plantings would be needed just south of Building 20. (Please
note the question of required fill/retention along the southerly
property line is yet to be resolved- Staff's recommendation will
continue to be that the amount of fill and subsequent overall
height of the south bank of structures be minimized.)
The applicant also brought a new concept for the activity center/
"Vintner's Walk-" While the idea appeared imaginative, the
presentation was very sketchy and needed to be developed in some
detail. Staff suggested a joint Historic Preservation
Commission/Planning Commission subcommittee meeting to review this
concept ·
Although the site plan was not on the agenda, a revised site plan
was introduced at the meeting by the applicant. Engineering staff
had again indicated their objection to the proposed median within
the local public street-
The applicant was directed to submit a complete and internally
consistent development package, including a fully dimensioned site
plan, landscape plan, and all elevations for approval by Technical
and Design Review Committees-
The Committee (McNiel, Chitiea, Kroutil) met again on June 4, 1992,
to discuss the remaining site plan and architectural issues. The
applicant made alterations to the plans which effectively addressed
the above noted issues: Site Planning: No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, and Architecture: No. 3-
The Design Review Committee (Chitiea, McNiel, Kroutil) requested
that the following item be reviewed by them prior to scheduling for
a Planning Commission hearing:
1- The applicant should provide material samples and colors of
the mylar/canvas canopy element and the perforated steel
canopy material so that the Committee can make a final
selection.
The following items should either be re-reviewed by the Committee
or placed as conditions on the project:
2. Vines should be added adjacent to Buildings 11-18 along the
alley-side where area for planting is severely limited.
3. Trees within the lunch court areas should actually be planted
in the ground rather than in pots- Each eating area should be
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI
July 22, 1992
Page 7
provided with a trash receptacle. The furniture should be
revised to have backs on the seats for greater comfort-
4. The buildings comprising the Auto Court have been designed
with 4-inch stucco recesses. The recesses should be
redesigned with a bull nose or something other than a strictly
90-degree angle.
5. The revisions to Buildings 8 and 19 were acceptable; however,
the south side of Building 20, due to its proximity to
Rochester Avenue, will require additional upgrading.
Additionally, the rear elevations of Buildings 21-23 should be
upgraded.
The Committee (McNiel, Chitiea, Kroutil) recommended approval of
the revised project on June 18, 1992, with the following items to
be reviewed by the Design Review Committee prior to Planning
Commission hearing or added as conditions to the Resolution of
Approval:
1. Vines adjacent to Buildings 11-18 should be planted in a
continuous 2-foot planter, rather than vine pockets, if
permitted by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District.
2. The Committee (McNiel, Chitiea, Kroutil) approved the
mylar/canvas canopy element in the thickest gauge available.
Color schemes of the canvas should be carefully worked out- A
diagram providing color locations should be submitted for
review and approval by the Committee. The possibility of
keying the awning color to the type of use was also discussed.
3. The glass along the south elevation of Building 20 should be
recessed in a manner similar to the other proposed
buildings.
4. A reflective coating should be applied to the glass portions
of those buildings which face drive aisles and Rochester
Avenue- The purpose of the reflective coating is to provide
an opaqueness to the glass so that storage areas will not b~
visible-
5. Vines planted along the Sports Park property (south of the
south property wall) should be allowed to extend up and over
the wall and onto the buildings in order to discourage gaffiti
and to soften the wall and buildings.
6- The bullnose edge for all buildings with the 4-inch stucco
recess should be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Division-
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI
July 22, 1992
Page 8
7. Lunch court furniture should be revised to include wire seats
and concrete tables. Wire seats should match the proposed
awning color.
8. The applicant should consider providing a stone base along the
bottom portion of Buildings 4, 7, and 20 in those locations
where glass extends all the way to the ground.
The applicant has incorporated Items No. 1, 3, and 7 into their
final submittal package. Items No. 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 will be added
as conditions of approval-
E. Fast-Food Pad: A fast food restaurant (Jack-In-The-Box) is
proposed on Parcel 30 (directly east of "B" Street, along Foothill
Boulevard). The facility was reviewed by staff and the Design
Review Committee (McNiel, Melcher and Kroutil) on April 16, 1992,
for conformance with the interim drive-thru policies as indicated
in Section D above. The facility is inconsistent with the drive-
thru policy in that the stacking aisle is directly adjacent to
Foothill Boulevard- The applicant has mitigated this concern,
however, by adding trellis work with vine plantings and low screen
walls along the north side of the structure. Additionally, a
3-foot earthen berm is located between the structure and Foothill
Boulevard.
F. Historic Preservation Commission: The Historic Preservation
Commission (HPC) requested that the property at the southwest
corner of Rochester and Foothill Boulevard be reviewed to determine
its historic significance in response to a demolition request for
the structure known as the Cowgirl Theater. The HPC recommended
that the LaFourcade store be designated an Historic Point of
Interest- The recommendation was forwarded to the City Council on
September 18, 1991. The designation was approved on that date
along with a mitigated Negative Declaration- Mitigation measures
for the demolition are noted in Exhibit "C." The applicant has
complied with Conditions No. ~ and 3- Condition No- 4 deals with a
monetary contribution to be collected prior to the issuance of
building permits. Although this condition has previously been
reviewed by HPC and City Council, it has also been included in the
Resolution of Approval for this application, since it is tied to
building permit issuance for the project- Condition No. 5 dealing
with oral history interviews is being worked out with HPC staff-
Condition No. 2 states the following:
The development of the site shall incorporate details of
the sites history, in particular the LaFourcade period,
through the incorporation of the following measures:
commissioned public art and development and placement of
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI

Page 9
interpretative public displays- The final
specifications of such measures shall be reviewed by the
Historic Preservation Commission and forwarded with the
recommendation to the Planning Commission during
development/design review hearings on any development
proposal for this site. Final approval of the
appropriate public art and interpretive displays shall
occur prior to the issuance of any building permits."
In working towards fulfillment of this condition, the applicant met
with a subcommittee of the Historic Preservation Commission and the
Planning Commission (Marsha Banks, Steve Preston, Larry McNiel,
Suzanne Chitiea) on May 27, 1992, to discuss their proposal for
commissioned public art and the development and placement of
interpretive public displays- The applicant presented their
concepts to the subcommittee, which were essentially acceptable-
The following proposals were approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission on July 2, 1992-
I~terpretive Public Display~ and Vintner's Walk: The walkway will
extend approximately 160 feet along Foothill Boulevard as
originally proposed. The names of the Vintner families, along with
the dates their wineries were established, will be incorporated
into the walk on inscribed pavers. The walkway will have a metal
trellis along its length and historical display panels with text
and photos depicting the history of wine making in the area
starting with the LaFourcade period and covering the immigrant
grape growers and vintners of the 1920s to 1930s- Areas for
seating will be incorporated along the walkway. The applicant has
proposed four to six display panels; however, staff would recommend
that six be utilized along the length of the walk.
The applicant has also proposed a 7-foot wide "story bard" at the
eastern end of the Vintner's Walk where the original LaFourcade
store stood- The story bard would be a bas relief depicting the
LaFourcade winery. The applicant has proposed that the relief
pictorially show LaFourcade directing the construction of the first
wells in Cucamonga as well as views of some of the. buildings he
constructed.
Also in partial fulfillment of the interpretive display
requirement, the applicant has proposed an additional story board
location at the western end of the Vintner's Walk &=picting the
Masi family. The bas relief would portray the hillside vineyards
of the Masi's home town in Italy, members of the Masi family, and
their lands and winery in Cucamonga.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 91-24 - MASI

Page 10
Commissioned Public Art: To fulfill this requirement, the
applicant has proposed a sculpture of a vintner carrying a basket
of grapes which would be located approximately midway along the
Vintner's Walk. The sculpture is intended as a tribute to the wine
making ~families of the area- A 12-inch wax model of the sculpture
will be available at the meeting.
A condition of approval has been incorporated into the Resolution
of Approval which requires final detailed plans to be reviewed and
approved by the City Planner prior to the issuance of building
permits-
G. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee
reviewed the project on April 15, and June 3, 1992. Comments from
the Technical Review Comn~ittee have been incorporated into the
recommended Conditions of Approval-
H. Grading Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the project on
April 14, and June 2, 1992, and recommended approval on June 2.
I. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been
completed by the applicant- Staff has completed Part II of the
Environmental Checklist and found that, although the project could
have a significant effect on the environment in several areas,
including traffic and cultural resources, there will not be a
significant effect on the environment in this case because of the
mitigation measures which have been included in the project design
or as Conditions of Approval within the attached Resolution-
Therefore, if after reviewing the proposed mitigation measures
specified within the Resolution, the Commission concurs with
staff's findings, then issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration
would be in order.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Commission to approve the
project, the following facts for findings must be made:
A- The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives
of the Development Code and the Industrial Area Specific Plan, and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
B- The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto,
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or
~terially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
C- The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code and Industrial Area Specific Plan.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in
the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the project has been posted,
and notices were sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the
project site-

at such endeavors in the Rochester/Cucamonga
area. Seemingly well known throughout the
Cottnty, T aFourcade represents an important
epoch and entrepreneurial spirit of this
valley.
Finding: 2. Tne architect or builder was important.
Fact/s: In choosing J. N. Johnson to design and
corstruct his winery complex, LaFourcade was
one of few local property owners in the late
teens-early 1920s to employ a contractor who
was very well known in the County. Johnson
constructed many large and impressive public
and private buildings in San Bernardino,
Redlands, and Colton.
B. Historic Architectural and Engineering Significance:
Finding: 1. The corstruction materials or engineerirg
Interest are unusual or significant or
uniquely effective.
Fact/s: Although it b_--~ been altered, the main
entrance of the building which is marked by
a parapet and flanked with Corinthian
pilasters, remains as a testament to a
design palette created_ by T~Fourcade and
C. Neighborhood and Geographic Setting:
Finding: 1. The proposed Point of Interest in its
location represents an es~hl ~ _~h_er~ a]ld
familiar visual feature of the neighborhood,
o~nity, or city.

subject structure stands as a 70-year-old
nof~hle fixture in the ~xnity' s
landscape.

considered for compliarx~ with the California Env~l Quality Act of
1970. If properly mitigat_~J__, the requested demolition of the T aFourcade Store

F. Site Characteri sti cs: The site i s mostly vacant, wtth 2 exi sting
structures near 'the Rochester/Foothill intersection, and slopes to the
south at between 2 and 3 percent. Foothill Boulevard is 4-lane arterial
along the north property line, Rochester Avenue has 2 lanes along the
east property line, and the Sports Complex perimeter wall follows the
south property line. The City has recently installed a traffic signal
and aligned the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue.
ANALYSIS: The purpose of this parcel map is to create 31 separate 1 ots for the
~tng complex proposed as Conditional Use Permit 91-24 (Exhibit "C") .
Foothill Boulevard will be widened on the south side and, if Caltrans permits,
the median island will be installed. Rochester Avenue will be widened on the
west side and interior streets "A" and "B" constructed. An existing Sports
Complex storm drain will be extended up Street "B" to Foothill Boulevard. The
applicant has asked to phase the install atton of public improvements
consistent with the development phasing plan for CUP 91-24. Staff recommends
that all perimeter and interior streets and public storm drainage facilities
be completed with the first development phase.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study.
Staff conducted a field investigation and completed Part II of the Initial
Study. Although the project could have an impact on the environment in
several areas there will not be a significant adverse effect because of the
mitigation measures included with the conditions of approval. Therefore,
issuance of Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate.
CORRESPONDENCE: Notices of Public Hearing have been sent to surrounding
property owners and placed in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. Posting at
the site has al so been completed.
