Commissioner Telesio noted that he had met with both the applicant and staff on three different
occasions and that those meetings resulted in additional refinements to the building elevations,
plan views, and outdoor patios.
Associate Planner Harris gave an overview of the staff report (as per agenda material), noting
the following:
That the application was continued from the February 19, 2003, Planning Commission
Meeting after the Commission identified several project design issues.
The following is a summary of the Land Use Revisions identified by the Planning Commission:
That staff was concerned about Long Building Expanses on street frontages; that the
applicant revised the Land Use Plan (LUP), limiting building elevations to no more than
140 feet of continuous building wall space without variations of wall plane, roof elements,
change of height, etc. along street frontages;
C:\Documents and Settings\Mcintyk\Desktop\050703.doc
2
· That the applicant has included two to three outdoor seating areas on the site; that
buffering will be incorporated adjacent to parking areas and roadways;
· That as per the request of the Commission, the existing building photos were deleted
from the Land Use Plan;
That the '~Vine Count~' architectural style was replaced with the "California Colonial"
style and that the "Mediterranean" style will remain as originally proposed and that
details were included with regard to cornice treatments, columns, window treatments,
materials, etc.;
· That metal roofs, metal canopies, or metal awnings were deleted;
· That major tenants were included in the Land Use Plan.
Associate Planner Harris noted that the applicant and the City held discussions associated with
both short-term and long-term improvements of the two-entry monumentation areas located at
the southeast and southwest corners of Pechanga Parkway and State Highway 79 South and
advised that an interim improvement design will be proposed and that once the Pechanga
Parkway project has been completed, a final improvement design will be presented to the
Commission for review.
It was noted by staff that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan revisions submitted by the
applicant would adequately address the Commission's outstanding design issues (as identified
above). Therefore, staff would recommend approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan with
the proposed conditions of approval.
Director of Planning Ubnoske noted that the Commission had received a letter from Mr. Larry
Markham, Managing Member of Rainbow Canyon, LLC; that the letter stated that Mr. Lowry had
donated $65,000 toward the installation of permanent monumentation improvements at the
corner of Pechanga Parkway and State Highway 79 South; that the funds were given to the City
and that the City will be installing the permanent monumentation; and that because of the road
widening project, interim landscaping will be necessary and will be completed per Design
Guidelines. After completion of the project, it was noted that the City will prepare final design
plans which will be reviewed by the Planning Commission for approval; that if the Planning
Commission were to approve the plans, the City would construct a permanent monumentation;
and that Condition of Approval No. 5 will be deleted. Director of Planning Ubnoske also noted
that the road-widening project should be completed within two and a half years.
tn response to Commissioner Mathewson's query regarding window mullion treatments,
Associated Planner Harris noted the following:
· That there was concern regarding the mullions proposed for the front entry elevation;
That some tenants may not prefer the installation of window mullions because it
may inhibit visibility into a retail store and that the applicant may be desirous of
pursuing other opportunities

At this time the Public Hearing was opened.
Thanking Commissioner Telesio and staff for their associated time and efforts, Mr. Larry
Markham, 41635 Enterprise Cimle No., representing the applicant, relayed the applicant's
concurrence with the staff report along with the deletion of Condition No. 5 (the City and the
property owner shall enter into an agreement regarding the short-term/long-term design, etc.)
and that the applicant will be dedicating additional right-of-way for the road widening as part of
the underlying Parcel Map, noting that the proposed corner treatment will be in addition to this
dedication.
Readdressing the window mullion treatments and its correlation to the architectural styles, Mr.
Markham, for Commissioner Mathewson, reiterated that because the applicant is currently not
aware of who the potential users may be or whether a major tenant will be occupying the space,
the project design will be user driven as to whether more or less windows will be proposed.
Mr. Markham introduced Mr. Underwood, the architect, who was available for questions.
Further commenting on the window mullion treatments, Mr. Underwood commented on the
various sizes of the treatments; that a smaller treatment could be utilized and incorporated for
most major tenants; that from a design standpoint, window mullion treatments could be
incorporated but that he would be reluctant to reflect them, at this point in time, because of not
knowing the future tenants; and that their would only be opposition to window mullion treatments
if a major tenant were to oppose the installation of them.
Concurring with Commissioner Olhasso, Mr. Markham advised that a deviation from the Land
use Plan would require Planning Commission review and approval and as well concurred with
Mr. Underwood to incorporate the window mullion treatments into the Land Use Plan and,
thereby, ensuring Planning Commission review/approval if there were any deviations.
Commending the City of Ontario, Chairman Chiniaeff requesting that similar guidelines be
imposed with regard to the screening of drive-through restaurants. Advising that this matter
could be addressed, Mr. Markham relayed no objection to the use of coverings, screening,
landscaped walls/structures, etc.
As it relates to this project, Mr. Mark Broderick, 45501 Clubhouse Drive, relayed concern with
regard to ensuring a safe ingress/egress on the parcel on the southwest side of Pechanga
Parkway.
Mr. Brook Morris, 151 Kalmus Drive, Prism Realty Corporation, relayed gratitude to
Commissioner Telesio for his participation as well as staff for their efforts.
In response to Chairman Chiniaeff's query regarding the approved Parcel Map, Deputy Director
of Public Works Parks advised that a condition has been imposed requiring Caltrans' approval
for all proposed driveways and that the applicant has been working with Caltrans for such
approval.
At this time the public hearing was closed.

and type of street improvements within the four tracts are consistent with the Harveston
Specific Plan (SP).
Density

· That the Specific Plan allows the developer to transfer unused residential units from
previously approved Planning Areas to proposed Planning Areas;
· That staff has verified that five additional target units have been added;
· That staff has determined that all residential development approved within Harveston
with the four proposed tracts resulted in a surplus of eight target units;
· That the eight surplus target units were transferred to undeveloped Planning Areas
within the Specific Plan.
Environmental Determination
· That an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring Plan were
approved.
Associate Planner Harris noted that the City has received a letter from Mr. Gomez of the
Pechanga Cultural Resources (as per attachment No.5), requesting that three additional
conditions of approval be added with regard to Cultural Resoumes and noting that under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15162, specific indication would have to
be reflected as to the need for these added conditions.
It was concluded that the City would not be required to do this at this time; that there are
Mitigation measures in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which would address cultural
resources.
Staff would recommend approval of the four Tentative Tract Maps subject to the 93 conditions
as per the staff report.

be explored.

for the installation of enhancing elements such as decorative paving, landscaping, and
pedestrian amenities in an effort to create entry statements to each facility;
That additional planters shall be designed into the plaza fronting Pads A & B to enhance
and soften the hardscape and building walls; that some of these planters shall be raised
to serve as pedestrian friendly seating areas;
That a three foot high retaining wall shall be installed behind the 32' landscape
development zone along Margarita Road, along the parking lot, between Pads F & G;
that the area between this wall and the back of sidewall shall be bermed to raise the
streetscape landscaping to aid in screening the parking lot;
· That a more direct ADA path shall be provided from Margarita Road to Pads A, B, and
G;
· That substantial landscaping has been proposed around the perimeter of the site and
throughout the parking lot.
