was gated, the access to the trails could be controlled, limiting access to members of
the HOA; presented trail concepts with view look-out areas, meandering trails,
benches, and landscaping; noted that with the gated concept, the width of the road
that fronts the lots could be reduced, and deeper lots could be created;

R:PlanOomrn/minules/101701 6
· -' Queried the developer's rationalization for the need for increased densities,
questioning the cost analysis.
· The Commission provides concludinq comments
Recapitulating the past discussions at the Subcommittee meetings, Chairman Chiniaeff
noted the various issues of concern, as follows: buffering issues, re-designation of the
land uses, the densities, the previous location of the school in light of the proximity to the
airport, the area around the sports park, the best location for the commercial area, the
compatibility of the project with the surrounding residential area, advising that
addressing various issues was part of the rationale for a few of the design changes; with
respect to flood control issues, noted that the Public Works Department and Riverside
County Flood Control and Conservation District would determine the sides of the slopes;
with respect to the buffer proximate to the Panhandle area, advised that the look-out
areas would most likely cause privacy issues; with respect to the proposal to relocate the
park, relayed that he was in favor of this concept, noting that with the proposed trails
plan individuals would be encouraged to walk to the park; with respect to the trails,
advised that an important issue would be whether MWD would allow the use of the
waterway for equestrian or pedestrian trails; with respect to a designated church site,
clarified that a church use is allowed in any zone via a CUP; and with respect to the
increase in density, while relaying that there were some areas where the courtyard
housing would be appropriate, advised that he was reluctant to agree with the
applicant's request for 2059 dwelling units simply due to this number of units being
denoted on a previous plan.
In response to Chairman Chiniaeff, Deputy Fire Marshall McBride provided additional
information regarding the conditions which would be imposed if a gated community was
implemented; and advised that if the determination of planning the gate area was solely
dependent on his advisement, it would not be placed on a thoroughfare.
Concurring with the previous comments of the residents, Commissioner Guerriero noted
his concern regarding water supply, referencing Senate Bill 221. In response, Assistant
City Attorney Curley advised that SB 221 would mandate new findings in the City's
review and approvals to determine that there was adequate water on a 20-year
projection basis to serve the development, providing additional information regarding this
review process; advised that the City and the applicant will rely on the local water
agencies for this affirmation, relaying that the statute sets out various factors that the
water agencies must consider when determining whether there would be adequate
water, and subsequently staff would review the agencies' conclusions; provided
additional information regarding how CEQA's cumulative clause ties in with the
referenced Senate Bill, confirming that there would be a coincidence of analysis; for
Commissioner Telesio, confirmed that the water supply entities will take into
consideration not only the existing water use but the commitment to water for future
development.
For Chairman Chiniaeff, Director of Planning Ubnoske noted that for all projects staff
requests the water district to provide a letter confirming that an adequate supply exists.
Commissioner Mathewson advised that it would be his preference for a final Land Use
Plan to be presented to the Planning Commission review, one which has been generally
accepted by both the applicant and staff, clarifying that the hearing was not the
R:PlanComm/minutes/101701 7
appropriate forum for debating major land use issues; noted his concern regarding the
proposed increase in density; opined that compatibility with the surrounding land uses
and appropriate buffering needed to be taken into consideration (i.e., the location of the
commercial center); with respect to the potential mega recreation facility, concurred that
this facility was proposed too close to the boundaries of the project and should be
relocated fudher to the center due to the noise, and lighting impacts; opined that if the
density is increased, an EIR would need to be re-circulated in order to address the
additional impacts; concurred with concerns regarding water supply, traffic, and
drainage; concurred with staff's concern regarding relocating the park site to PA No.
11 B; with respect to buffering on the eastern and southern portions of the project,
relayed concern regarding the small lot sizes on the interior loop, noting that no criteria
has been presented for design standards in this area; and noted that the transitioning
from l-acre lots to 10,000 square foot lots is too drastic of a change.
In response to Commissioner Mathewson, Mr. Everett specified the location of the
natural ridgeline at the southern end of the project, the 30-foot buffer (the fuel break with
a horse trail), and then the one- to one-half-acre lots, clarifying that PA No. 18 would
solely have one- to one-half-acre lots; with respect to PA No. 17, relayed that there
would be one-acre lots, one-half-acre lots, and the fuel break, noting that in the
remaining area, closer to the loop there would potentially be 10,000 square foot lots; with
respect to PA Nos. 27 and 30, relayed the commitment to one-acre, and one-half acre
lots; with respect to the gated area, relayed that there would be substantial provisions for
parking, noting that the gate would be manned with guards; with respect to the proposed
location of the recreation center, clarified that there was a half-mile distance between the
proximate neighborhood, noting that the recreation center would not be an intensive
lighted project; and relayed that the private roads and landscaping would be paid for by
the development's residents, and not the public.
Commissioner Olhasso noted that an example of poor developmental planning with
respect to transitioning from one-acre, one-half-acre, to ten thousand square foot lots
was the Woodside Development; and with respect to the comments concerning lighting
at the sports park, clarified that staff was stringent with respect to the type of lighting
required and there rules of use.
In response to Commissioner OIhasso's queries, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks
confirmed that with respect to flooding issues, staff would be thoroughly investigating,
and subsequently would determine a recommendation to address this issue.
Regarding the CFD, Commissioner OIhasso acknowledged that there would be a
financial advisor associated with this mechanism. For Commissioner Olhasso, Director
of Planning Ubnoske advised that the additional increase in density that the applicant
referenced was new data, relaying that both the Finance Department and the Public
Works Department would be carefully scrutinizing the financial analysis, noting that she
could forward Commissioner Olhasso's recommendation for the City to conduct its own
analysis.
Assistant City Attorney Curley relayed that until the Land Use Plan is finalized the
economics of the project cannot be fully analyzed.
With respect to the Design Guidelines (which would be developed at a future point),
Commissioner Olhasso noted that she was not pleased with the architecture presented
R:PlanComm/minute¢101701 8
in the photographs; regarding the parks, recommended that if the park was to be
relocated, that a few housing lots be deleted, and that a tot lot park be implemented on
the western podion of the project.
Noting that he served on the Subcommittee associated with this project, Commissioner
Telesio clarified, for Commissioner Mathewson, that numerous significant proposals
presented by the applicant were recent changes, and had not been presented to the
Subcommittee, concurring that the new concepts should first be presented to staff, then
the Subcommittee, and finally to the Planning Commission; opined that the commercial
area should be placed in the center of the project; with respect to the density, advised
that the critical issue would be the alternate elements proposed to offset the density (i.e.,
traffic mitigation, community amenities) which would render the net benefit to the
community; with respect to designating a specific site for a religious institution, clarified
that it was determined that there was no need to specify a site for this type of use; and
concluded that in light of the numerous, significant recent revisions to the Land Use
Plan, the data should not be presented to the Planning Commission at this point in time.
With respect to the location of the commercial center, the following comments were
relayed:
Commissioner Guerriero opined that the commercial area should be located proximate
to the center of the project which would be more consistent with a Village Center
Concept.
Noting the discussions and considerations at the Subcommittee level, Chairman
Chiniaeff relayed his initial recommendation that the commercial center be located at the
southerly location.
For Commissioner Mathewson, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that at
PA No. 13 there was an open channel adjacent to Butterfield Stage Road which would
limit the access to Butterfield State Road at that site; and with respect to the northerly
location, advised that there would be a road system around the commercial center which
feeds from numerous locations, and would service the Panhandle area well.
In light of Deputy Director of Public Works Parks' comments, Chairman Chiniaeff,
echoed by Commissioner Olhasso and Commissioner Mathewson, concurred with the
community center being located at the northerly location.
Assistant City Attorney Curley clarified that per the Brown Act, the Planning Commission
was not making formal decisions, and that the developer should not rely on these
comments being a formal decision.
With respect to density the following comments were noted:
Recapitulating the review of recently approved Specific Plans, Commissioner Guerriero
noted concern with respect to the lack of discussion regarding major infrastructure (or a
transit system) being implemented, while the densities continue to be increased,
advising that it would be his recommendation that the densities be decreased; and
clarified that there would be no community benefit regarding the proposed mega
recreation center.
R:PlanComm/rninute~101701 9
Commenting on the density issue, Chairman Chiniaeff relayed that proximate to the
interior loop where the school was located, that this area should be reinvestigated,
recommending that this portion of the project not be designated for 3,500 square foot
lots.
Commissioner Olhasso noted a desire to have additional data regarding the analysis
associated with the applicant's comments that the density needed to be increased to
make the project financially feasible, clarifying that without this information she could not
further comment on the density at this time.
Concurring with the concern regarding the financial data associated with the applicant's
need for the density to be increased, Commissioner Mathewson relayed concern
regarding providing a recommendation with respect to densities at this time.
Assistant City Attorney Curley relayed that when the applicant presents the final plan,
the proposal will be undergirded with the financial machinations based on the
developer's opinion of the density that will be required in order for the project to be
financially feasible, as well as a benefit to the City; clarified that the goal of the Planning
Commission was to ensure good planning; and, for Commissioner Olhasso, noted that
once the applicant has a final proposal, the density should be defended by the applicant
to the Planning Commission in support of the project, and that the Planning Commission
will evaluate whether the densities proposed support the project.
Enumerating the Planning Commission comments, Chairman Chiniaeff noted, for staff
and the applicant, the Planning Commission's struggle with the increases in density, and
the myriad of changes occurring in the project plan; and clarified that the Planning
Commission would desire the applicant to present a fixed plan on their proposal with the
supporting justification, having first been analyzed by staff.
For Commissioner Telesio, Director of Planning Ubnoske clarified that at this point staff
did not have data regarding the specific infrastructure associated with the project.
For informational purposes, Deputy Director of Public Works Parks relayed that staff has
been involved in meetings with the applicant regarding the CFD formation, the
infrastructure, and the drainage issues; concurred that the applicant would need to justify
the need for additiona~ densities to cover the additional costs of these elements; and
advised that it was the Public Works Department's recommendation to have four lanes
at Butterfield Stage Road and Murrieta Hot Springs Road, and not to have a complete
tie-in at Nicolas Road at this time.
Commissioner Telesio clarified that density is a concern of his and that it was tied to the
amount of infrastructure needed.
Director of Planning Ubnoske noted that the DA, the CFD, and the density issues are
closely tied, advising that per the Planning Commission comments these discussions
need to be more finalized prior to Planning Commission presentation.
Commissioner Mathewson reiterated, for the applicant, that the project plan should be
fixed and previously reviewed by staff and the Subcommittee prior to Planning
Commission review.
R:PianComm/minutes/101701 1 0
Mr. Everett relayed that it was the applicant's desire to formulate a final Specific Plan,
EIR, CFD, and the DA elements, and have staff review the data prior to the Planning
Commission presentation.
Chairman Chiniaeff reiterated that the Planning Commission desired to review a fixed
finalized plan.
For Senior Planner Hogan, Chairman Chiniaeff relayed that with respect to buffering
issues the Planning Commission did not make any recommendations regarding
implementing the 2.5 acre lots, but noted the importance of compatible land uses.
Since this was a workshop item, and no formal action was required by the Planning
Commission this concluded the comments of the Commission.
COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS
Commissioner Guerriero congratulated Commissioner Olhasso (as a member of
the staff of the City of Ontario) and the City of Ontario for the recent attainment of
the Putnam Award.
For Commissioner Guerriero, Director of Planning Ubnoske relayed that the
outside storage at the Power Center was being addressed by Code Enforcement,
noting that she would further investigate as to what stage of the citation process
this matter was in; and for Commissioner Olhasso, noted that she would
additionally follow up on the Code Enforcement issue regarding the site
proximate to the 1-15 Freeway and Winchester Road.
