I REMEMBER HOW PROUD WE WERE WHEN WE HELD THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY FOR INTACCT IN 2016, KNOWING WE WERE GOING TO BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE INLAND EMPIRE'S ECONOMIC HEALTH.

OUR INTECH GRADUATES EARN SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER WAGES BECAUSE OF THEIR TRAINING, AND OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO HIRE THEM RECEIVE QUALITY WORKERS.

THIS BENEFITS THE ENTIRE REGION, AND CHAFFEE WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK NEW WAYS TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING NEEDS OF OUR AREA AND ORGANIZATIONS.

I WANNA THANK CHAFFEY'S DEDICATED STAFF FACULTY FOR THEIR HARD WORK.

THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS TO SUCCEED, AND THEY BRING PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE TO CHAFFEE MAKING STUDENTS READY FOR JOBS WHEN THEY GRADUATE.

WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN WHILE THEY LEARN TO EARN, WHILE THEY LEARN THROUGH OUR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR OUR INLAND EMPIRE STUDENTS WHO ARE SUPPORTING FAMILIES.

WE KNOW THAT IT, THE INTECH CENTER MAKES AN IMPACT BECAUSE IT HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS VISITS OVER THE YEARS FROM MANY STATE AND FEDERAL LEADERS LIKE THEN SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS AND SECRETARY OF EDUCATION, MR. CARDOZA, THEY RECOGNIZE INTACCT AS A NATIONAL MODEL AND MANY OTHERS HAVE ECHOED THE SAME STATEMENTS.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS AWARD AND FOR SUPPORTING WHAT WE DO AT CHAFFEE COLLEGE INDUSTRIAL TECHNICAL LEARNING CENTER.

THIS IS THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR

[PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS ]

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON THE AGENDA FOR YOU TO SPEAK ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT CONCERNS YOU OR THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH US.

COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL.

UH, AND SO YOU COME TO THE PODIUM, THIS LITTLE RED LIGHT IS HERE, OR THERE'S A TIMER ON THE, ON THE SCREEN.

UH, SO WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE, UM, AMME, OMAN.

I'M NOT SURE IF I PRONOUNCED THAT CORRECTLY.

I DID COME ON RIGHT UP, SIR.

RIGHT TO THAT PODIUM RIGHT THERE.

AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, 'CAUSE I YES.

HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME PRONOUNCING IT.

UH, UH, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS AM UMANA.

UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR MICHAEL, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY MANAGER GILSON AND FELLOW RESIDENTS.

MY NAME IS AMAY UMANA AND I'VE, AND I'VE LIVED IN DISTRICT THREE OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA SINCE 2006.

I'VE ALSO WORKED AND TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD, BUT I CHOSE TO MAKE THIS CITY MY HOME NEARLY 20 YEARS AGO.

TONIGHT I'M HERE TO SHOW HOW RANCHO CUCAMONGA CAN LEAD AMERICA'S COMEBACK INTO ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, ONE BREAKTHROUGH AT A TIME.

I'M THE FOUNDER OF A MA TE VENTURE STUDIOS.

A VENTURE STUDIOS LIKE A STARTUP FACTORY.

INSTEAD OF BUILDING ON ONE COMPANY, WE BUILD MANY TAKING BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES FROM LABS AND TURNING THEM INTO REAL BUSINESSES.

AND A MA TE VENTURE STUDIOS.

WE FOCUS ON SPACE TECHNOLOGY, QUANTUM INNOVATION, HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY, SEMICONDUCTORS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

FROM OUR PORTFOLIO COMPANY COMES TITANIUM AMERICA'S ANSWER TO TSMC.

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T SPEAK SEMICONDUCTOR ACRONYMS EVERY DAY.

T-M-T-S-M-C IS THE COMPANY IN TAIWAN THAT MAKES MOST OF THE WORLD'S ADVANCED CHIPS.

TOGETHER WITH OTHER ASIAN MANUFACTURERS, THEY CONTROL OVER 90% OF THE GLOBAL ADVANCED CHIPS PRODUCTION.

IF SUPPLY WERE DISRUPTED, THE US ECONOMY COULD LOSE MORE THAN $1 TRILLION ANNUALLY AFFECTING THE DEFENSE, HEALTHCARE, AND CONSUMER INDUSTRIES SIMULTANEOUSLY.

THIS IS NOT A SMALL PROBLEM.

DURING 20, DURING THE 2021 SHORTAGE, THE LACK OF $1 CHIPS STOPPED ENTIRE AUTO PLANTS FROM RUNNING.

IT COST AMERICA OVER $200 BILLION.

[00:10:02]

TITANIUM IS THE US RESPONSE.

WE'RE DEVELOPING NEXT GENERATION CHIPS THAT BREAK THROUGH THE HEAT AND EFFICIENCY LIMITS OF TODAY'S SILICON PROCESSORS WITH A PLAN TO ESTABLISH OUR FIRST PROTOTYPE FOUNDRY RIGHT HERE, RANCHER CUCAMONGA.

HERE'S WHAT IT MEANS.

FOR OUR CITY JOBS.

A HUNDRED TO 500 HIGH PAYING JOBS IN THE FIRST PHASE, GROWING TO 1,500 PLUS CAREERS WITH FULL OPERATIONS.

EACH HIGH TECH ROLE SUPPORTS THREE TO FOUR JOBS IN HOUSING, EDUCATION AND SERVICES.

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY IN PRO ON PROPERTY TAXES, SALES, TAXES, HOUSE DEMAND, AND SUPPLIERS.

FEDERAL LEVERAGE.

$52 BILLION IN THE CHIPS ACT.

IN FUNDING NATIONAL LEADERSHIP HOSTING TITANIUM POSITIONS.

OUR CITY AS A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HUB FOR SEMICONDUCTORS INNOVATION.

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE CHANCE TO BRIEF, UH, MAYOR MICHAEL, CITY MANAGER GI, UM, UH, GILLISON AND COUNCIL MEMBER HUTCHINSON DIRECTLY.

WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE CAN DEMONSTRATE TO WASHINGTON THAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS READY TO LEAD IN SECURING AMERICA'S TECHNOLOGICAL INDEPENDENCE.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE RANCHO CUCAMONGA THE CITY THAT BUILDS AMERICA'S STRENGTH.

ONE CHIP, ONE JOB, ONE BREAKTHROUGH AT A TIME.

TITANIUM BUILT IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, POWERING AMERICA.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JACKIE RALPH.

MR. MAYOR, WHILE, WHILE, UM, NO, PLEASE COME ON.

WHILE, WHILE, UM, JACKIE IS COMING TO THE PODIUM, IF I, UM, I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA GIVE MY BEST ALMIGHTY AMTE AMTE.

OKAY.

IF YOU CAN SPEAK WITH THAT GENTLEMAN IN THE BACK THERE RAISING HIS HAND.

MATT MARQUEZ, HE'S OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

HE CAN START THAT PROCESS OF GETTING THE INFORMATION AND GETTING AND GETTING THE CONVERSATION GOING.

OKAY.

THANK YOU JACKIE.

HELLO ALL.

I CAME HERE ON JULY 16TH WITH A LARGE TABLE TENNIS GROUP TO PLEAD OUR CASE.

AND I JUST WANTED TO COME BACK TO SAY THANK YOU IN TWO MONTHS.

WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED AND EVERYBODY IS SO HAPPY.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CITY COUNCIL FOR SENDING US THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO TALK TO AND TO GRANT US OUR WISH.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND ENJOY YOUR TABLE TENNIS .

FOR SURE.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS A PEYTON.

YEAH.

CAMERA PLEASE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS A AYA KULA.

AND THEN WHEN I GOT MARRIED, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE'S A DIVORCE, THERE'S A DIVORCE PAPERWORK.

UM, I'M NOW OLA PEYTON, AND IT SAYS IT RIGHT.

LET'S SEE HERE.

I KEPT MY NAME.

LET ME SEE.

OH, I'M, I SENT THIS TO THE PASSPORT PLACED AND THEY MADE TWO COPIES OF THE SAME THING.

ARE THE FIRST SAME PAGE.

OLA PAYTON, OLA PAYTON.

AND THEN THIS IS THE SECOND PAGE AND THEY CERTIFIED IT HERE.

SO I, I HAVE A HU EX-HUSBAND THAT'S HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA WITH MY CHILDREN.

AND MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE COPS ARE NOT SUCCESSFULLY DETECTING CHILD ABUSE BECAUSE MY KIDS HAVE BRUISES AND I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE OF THE SKIN DISPARITY AND THE RACIAL DISPARITY, THEY'RE NOT SEEING THE EFFECTS OF HIS ABUSE ON MY CHILDREN.

'CAUSE THEY ALSO ARE SUFFERING FROM CHILD MOLESTATION.

AND THE POLICE, THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT FAILED TO DO A SAR TEST.

AND I JUST LEARNED IN RIALTO THAT IT'S, UM, IT'S OPTIONAL FOR THEM TO DO A SART TEST, WHICH IS A SEXUAL ASSAULT RAPE TEST.

AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULDN'T BE OPTIONAL BECAUSE SHE'S A CHILD.

BOTH OF MY KIDS ARE CHILDREN AND THEY'RE SCARED TO GET A SART TEST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU PRESENT IT THE WRONG WAY.

AND I'M NOT PRESENT.

YOU CAN'T HAVE THE CHILD MOLESTER PRESENT FOR A SART TEST.

I WAS LOOKING AROUND FOR THE TIME, WHAT'S MY TIME PLEASE? .

THANK YOU MA'AM.

AND SO, AND THEN ALSO THEY'RE NOT READING THE RESTRAINING ORDER CORRECTLY BECAUSE THE RESTRAINING ORDER PROTECTS MY EX-HUSBAND FROM ME.

'CAUSE WHEN I ACCUSED HIM OF BEING A CHILD MOLESTER IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, HE SAID THAT I WAS CRAZY.

AND THAT'S WHAT MEN DO.

OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I HEARD MEN DO.

'CAUSE I LOST MY VIRGINIA AT 2014, MY EX-HUSBAND.

AND THEY SAY LIKE, WHEN, UM, YOU, WHEN YOU HOLD THE MAN ACCOUNTABLE, HE WAS LIKE, YOU'RE CRAZY.

SO THAT'S WHAT HE DID TO ME.

I HELD HIM ACCOUNTABLE AS A CHILD MOLESTER.

AND HE POINTED TO ME AND SAID, YOU'RE CRAZY.

AND THE FIRST DOCTOR THAT I GOT, UH, EVALUATION FROM SAID I WAS FINE EXCEPT FOR I WAS, I WAS MISSING MY DAUGHTER.

'CAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS THE ONLY ONE BORN AT THAT TIME.

AND THEN MY EX-HUSBAND SAID, UM, OH, AND THEN THEY, HE TRICKED MY HALF SISTER INTO TAKING ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

ACTUALLY MY HALF SISTER TRICKED

[00:15:01]

'CAUSE CPS WAS INVOLVED IN OUR CASE.

SO THE COUNTY AND THE CPS GAVE ME A DIAGNOSIS, EVEN THOUGH MY FIRST ONE FROM RICK WAS NORMAL.

AND THEN THIS IS THE VISITATION ORDER.

UM, LEMME SEE ONE TIME PER WEEK FOR TWO HOURS.

THAT'S WHAT I GET.

SO PHYSICAL CUSTODY GOES TO FATHER, SORRY, I WAS POINTING AT LEGAL.

LEGAL CUSTODY GOES WITH FATHER AND HE'S THE CHILD MOLESTER.

SO I REALLY NEED THE POLICE TO STEP IT UP AND LOOK AT THE RACIAL DISPARITY AND NOTICE BRUISES ON CHILDREN AND THE HERPES SHOWS, UM, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE I WAS A VIRGIN UNTIL 24 AND I WAS RIGHT WITH GOD.

SO THEY'RE BLESSED TO BE ALIVE.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT FROM HERE.

CAN I PUT MY LEG UP HERE? NO, THAT'S OKAY.

NO.

OKAY.

I HAVE A TAN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BRUISING.

SO FOUR, THREE.

OH, I TOOK A CERT CLASS HERE.

AS I WAS TELLING THE MAYOR JOE BACA.

OH, NO, NO, NO.

UH, DENNIS AL DENNIS AND I REALLY ENJOYED MA'AM, I'M SORRY, YOUR THREE MINUTES ARE UP.

THANK YOU.

I ENJOYED THE CLASS.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE WILL NOW THAT'S CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PORTION OF THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO CONSENT CALENDAR.

CONSENT CALENDARS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ROUTINE AND THEY'RE GONNA BE ACTED UPON

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

HOWEVER, ANY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL CAN REMOVE ANY ITEM ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO WANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

MR. MARNEY, TO ABSTAIN FROM ITEM D TWO DUE TO POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AS SOCALGAS IS MY EMPLOYER.

VERY GOOD.

THAT ABSTENTION IS NOTED ON ITEM D THREE.

SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS EVENING'S CONSENT CALENDAR? SO MOVE SECOND PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT ABSTAINING ON ITEM D THREE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON.

WE HAVE ONE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM THAT'S UNDER F1.

AND BEFORE WE TURN THIS OVER TO OUR MAYOR PRO TIM AND CITY MANAGER, UH, AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, PARTICIPATE IN THIS LAND USE PROPOSAL

[ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S)]

[F1. Preliminary Review Hearing to Consider Proposed General Plan Amendments and Zoning Map Amendments to Redesignate 3 Acres of Land at the Red Hill Country Club from a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Open Space and Facilities to Traditional Neighborhood and Rezone the Land from Parks (P) to Low (L) Residential along the Ninth Hole of the Golf Course and Calle Casino for the Purpose of Single-Family Residential Development and Redesignate 3 Acres of Land from a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood - Low and Rezone the Land from Parks (P) to Medium (M) Residential for the Purpose of Multi-Family Development in the Existing Lower Parking Lot and Tennis Courts of the Country Club along Red Hill Country Club Drive. (CITY) ]

I WILL NOW LEAVE THE ROOM UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THIS MIAM WHEN AND THEN I WILL RETURN.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE AT THIS TIME TO TURN THIS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OVER TO OUR MAYOR PRO TIM LYNN KENNEDY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MAYOR MICHAEL.

AS MR. MICHAEL MICHAEL HAS RECUSED HIMSELF, WE WILL CONTINUE THIS ITEM.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER, MR. GILSON.

THANK YOU MAYOR PRO TIMM KENNEDY AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

SO THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A PRELIMINARY REVIEW HEARING TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS, WHICH WOULD RE-DESIGNATE THREE ACRES OF LAND AT THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB FROM A GENERAL PLAN, LAND USE OF OPEN SPACE AND FACILITIES TO A TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND REZONE THE LAND FROM PARKS TO LOW RESIDENTIAL ALONG THE NINTH HOLE OF THE GOLF COURSE AND CA CASINO FOR THE PURPOSE OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND ALSO RE-DESIGNATE THREE ACRES OF LAND FROM A GENERAL PLAN, LAND USE DESIGNATION OF OPEN SPACE AND FACILITIES TO SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD LOW AND REZONE THE LAND FROM PARKS TO MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT IN THE EXISTING LOWER PARKING LOT AND TENNIS COURTS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB ALONG RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE.

THIS IS A PRELIMINARY REVIEW ITEM TONIGHT.

UM, AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE CITY HAS A PROCESS THAT THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT WHEN, UM, INTERESTED PARTIES ARE CONSIDERING A GENERAL PLAN CHANGE, UH, A REZONE A MASTER PLAN, UM, RATHER THAN HAVE THE CONCEPT GET SUBMITTED, GO THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS, GO THROUGH PLANNING, COMMISSION, HEARING, AND THEN REACH THE COUNCIL, WHICH SOMETIMES, AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST, CAN TAKE UP TO 18 MONTHS TO TWO YEARS.

AND THEN WHEN IT REACHES THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL RENDERS A DECISION AND SOMETIMES THE APPLICANT IS SURPRISED THAT THAT DECISION, UM, THE COUNCIL CAME UP WITH A PROCESS TO BASICALLY DO A PRELIMINARY REVIEW.

THAT IS THE ITEM TONIGHT.

UM, THERE IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT APPLICATION YET THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.

IT'S IN CONCEPT FORM ONLY.

AND THE PURPOSE OF THE HEARING TONIGHT IS FOR THE STAFF TO PRESENT, UM, THE BIG PICTURE IN TERMS OF THE GENERAL

[00:20:01]

AND THEN FOR THE COUNCIL TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THAT ITEM, PRO CON THINGS THEY WANNA SEE CHANGED, ET CETERA.

SO, UM, THE CITY HAS BEEN USING THIS PROCESS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, ALTHOUGH THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I THINK WE'VE USED IT IN A RESIDENTIAL, UM, AREA.

SO, UM, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD QUESTIONS AS TO WHY THE NEIGHBORHOOD WASN'T NOTICED.

IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NOT AN APPLICATION YET.

WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ALL THOSE DETAILS.

SO WHAT WE HAVE IS THE, THE REQUEST TO CHANGE THE GENERAL PLAN AND THE ZONING AND A CONCEPT OF A PROPOSAL.

AND THE IDEA IS PRELIMINARY FEEDBACK TONIGHT.

THIS IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING.

UM, AND SO, UM, IN THAT REGARD, UM, EVERYBODY WILL BE ALLOWED IF THEY ARE SO INTERESTED TO OFFER THREE MINUTES OF THEIR COMMENTS, QUESTIONS.

IT'S NOT AN INTERACTIVE, BUT THE COUNCIL WILL TAKE ALL THAT FEEDBACK AT THE END, THE COUNCIL WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AND THEN THE COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE THEIR FEEDBACK TO THE APPLICANT.

AFTER THAT, IT IS UP TO THE APPLICANT IF THEY WISH TO PURSUE THIS PROPOSAL, UM, GOING FORWARD.

AND IF SO, THEN IT WOULD GO THROUGH THE FULL ENTITLEMENT PROCESS.

IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO, THEN THE NOTHING FURTHER HAPPENS IN THAT REGARD.

SO WITH THAT, UM, I'M GONNA HAND IT OVER TO JENNIFER NAKAMURA AND SOPHIA SAREN, OUR ASSISTANT PLANNER, AND THEY'LL GIVE A FORMAL STAFF REPORT.

THEY HAVE POWERPOINT, THEY'LL GO OUT THROUGH EVERYTHING ON THIS ITEM.

THE COUNCIL WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AT THAT TIME, AND THEN THE HEARING WILL BE OPEN.

SO, SO SOPHIA, THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS AN EARLY ACTION HEARING ITEM FOR GENERAL PLAN, MAP AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS AT THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB.

IN 2021, COUNCIL ADOPTED A POLICY TO PROVIDE EARLY FEEDBACK ON APPLICANT INITIATED LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS SUCH AS GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS.

THIS POLICY ALLOWS FOR APPLICANTS TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON THEIR ENVISION PRIOR, UH, UH, PROPOSAL PRIOR TO A FORMAL SUBMITTAL AND INVESTING, UH, SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND RESOURCES INTO THE PROJECT.

THE FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN APPROVAL, A GUARANTEE OF APPROVAL, NOR A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL.

IT WILL INSTEAD ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON WHETHER TO PURSUE THE LEGISLATIVE ACTION.

THIS REQUEST WAS SUBMITTED BY THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB.

THEY INTEND TO PROPOSE GENERAL PLAN MAP AMENDMENTS AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS TO CARVE OFF TWO THREE ACRE PARCELS FROM THE CLUB FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE FIRST SUBJECT AREA IS NOTED BY THE NORTHERN MOST STAR IN THE AERIAL IMAGE TO THE LEFT AND CAN BE FOUND ALONG THE NINTH HOLE OF THE GOLF COURSE AND CAE CASINO.

THE SECOND SUBJECT AREA IS LOCATED WHERE THE SOUTHERN MOST STAR IS LOCATED.

THIS AREA IS THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE LOWER PARKING LOT AND THE TENNIS COURTS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB.

THE FOLLOWING MAP IS THE EXISTING GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE COUNTRY CLUB IS CURRENTLY DESIGNATED AS GENERAL OPEN SPACE AND FACILITIES.

THIS DESIGNATION PERMITS ONLY ONE RESIDENTIAL UNIT, UH, PER EVERY 10 ACRES.

RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS AN OPEN SPACE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION SINCE 1980, SINCE THE 1981 GENERAL PLAN.

THIS MAP SHOWS THE EXISTING ZONING DESIGNATIONS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB IS ZONED AS PARKS, WHICH DOES NOT PERMIT SINGLE FAMILY OR MULTI-FAMILY USES.

THE FIRST AREA THAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO PROPOSE MAP AMENDMENTS TO IS IN IRREGULAR SHAPED AND UNIMPROVED AREA ALONG THE NINTH HOLE OF THE GOLF COURSE AND KAYA CASINO.

THEY PLAN TO REQUEST TO RE-DESIGNATE THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM GENERAL OPEN SPACE AND FACILITIES TO TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR A DENSITY OF EIGHT UNITS PER ACRE.

THEY ALSO INTEND TO REQUEST TO REZONE THE AREA FROM PARKS TO LOW RESIDENTIAL, WHICH WOULD ALLOW A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF SIX UNITS PER ACRE.

THE INTENT OF RE DESIGNATING THIS AREA, UH, WOULD BE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 13 SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS OF AT LEAST 7,200 SQUARE FEET.

THE SECOND AREA THAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO PROPOSE MAP AMENDMENTS TO IS THE EXISTING LOWER LEVEL PARKING LOT AND TENNIS COURTS THAT ARE ALONG RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE.

THIS AREA IS CURRENTLY IMPROVED WITH PARKING LOTS, UH, WITH A PARKING LOT TENNIS COURTS AND LANDSCAPING.

THEY PLAN TO REQUEST TO RE-DESIGNATE THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM GENERAL OPEN SPACE AND FACILITIES TO SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD LOW, WHICH ALLOWS A DENSITY OF 14 UNITS PER ACRE.

THEY ALSO INTEND TO REQUEST TO REZONE THE AREA FROM PARKS TO MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL, WHICH SIMILARLY ALLOWS A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF 14 UNITS PER ACRE.

THE INTENT OF RE DESIGNATING THIS AREA WOULD BE FOR

[00:25:01]

THIS FOLLOWING MAP HIGHLIGHTS THE INTENDED GENERAL PLAN MAP AMENDMENT REQUESTS IN EACH OF THE SUBJECT AREAS.

SUBJECT AREA ONE, WHICH IS INTENDED FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, IS PLANNED TO PROPOSE A GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION OF TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS DESIGNATION ALIGNS WITH THE TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGNATION TO THE EAST SUBJECT AREA TWO, WHICH IS INTENDED FOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT IS PLANNED TO PROPOSE A GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION OF SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD LOW.

THIS DESIGNATION IS NOT FOUND ELSEWHERE IN THE IMMEDIATE, IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS MAP HIGHLIGHTS THE INTENDED ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS.

SUBJECT AREA.

ONE INTENDS TO PROPOSE A ZONING DESIGNATION OF LOW RESIDENTIAL.

THIS AGAIN ALIGNS WITH THE ZONING DESIGNATION TO THE EAST OF THE AREA.

SUBJECT AREA TWO INTENDS TO PROPOSE A ZONING DESIGNATION OF MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL.

THIS SIMILARLY ALIGNS WITH THE ZONING DESIGNATIONS TO THE EAST OF THE AREA AS WELL.

IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED, THE FOURTH AND NINTH HOLES OF THE GOLF COURSE WOULD NEED TO RECEIVE ALTERATIONS, UM, IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AREA.

REPLACEMENT OF THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY WOULD ALSO BE PROPOSED TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL UNITS ALONG RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE THE PARKING LOT AND TENNIS COURTS, UH, WHICH WILL BECOME A PICKLEBALL COURT ARE PROPOSED TO BE RELOCATED.

UM, IN ADDITION TO ADDING A NEW POOL AND AN AMENITY BUILDING THAT COULD INCLUDE A SNACK BAR, UM, RESTROOMS, LOCKER ROOMS, AND A FITNESS STUDIO.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES WILL ADD TO THE CITY'S HOUSING SUPPLY WITH FOR SALE UNITS IN BOTH SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY.

UM, THAT COULD BE COUNTED TOWARD THE CITY'S ARENA ALLOCATION.

UM, HOWEVER, THE GENERAL PLAN, UH, HAS ENOUGH LAND DESIGNATED TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO TWO AND A HALF TIMES THE CURRENT ARENA ALLOCATION.

THE INTENDED ACTION COULD ALSO SET UP A LONGSTANDING BUSINESS FOR SUCCESS AND ALLOW FOR THEM TO REMAIN VIABLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED SOME CONCERNS AS WELL IN TERMS OF OPEN SPACE.

THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB HAS SERVED AS AN OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION AREA EVEN PRIOR TO CITY INCORPORATION.

ALTHOUGH THE COUNTRY CLUB IS MEMBERSHIP AND FEE BASED REDESIGNATING LAND THAT HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY UTILIZED FOR OPEN SPACE WILL CREATE A NET LOSS OF OPEN SPACE.

THIS ACTION WILL BE PERMANENT AND IT IS UNLIKELY TO BE UNDONE ONCE, UH, IT IS DESIGNATED FOR HOUSING.

IN ADDITION, TREE CANOPY COVERAGE WOULD ALSO BE REDUCED.

ANOTHER CONSIDERATION WOULD BE THAT THE COUNTRY CLUB, UH, WELL IT HASN'T PREVIOUSLY BEEN EVALUATED.

UM, IT CONTAINS PROBABLE EVIDENCE TO RECEIVE A HISTORICAL DESIGNATION.

IF THE EXISTING SITE WERE TO BE ALTERED TO ACCOMMODATE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, THE POTENTIAL HISTORIC DESIGNATION MAY BE IMPACTED, UM, AS THE DEGREE OF INTEGRITY COULD SHIFT, ESPECIALLY ON THE GOLF COURSE.

THE RED HILL COMMUNITY IS AN OLDER COMMUNITY WITH MANY UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS INCLUSIVE OF THE COUNTRY CLUB.

THIS PROPOSAL WILL ALTER AN IMPORTANT FEATURE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

FINALLY, ANY HOUSING CREATED WILL BE OFFERED AT A MARKET RATE AND IT WOULD NOT INCREASE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UM, UNITS IN THE CITY.

THERE ARE ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER, UM, WHEN PROVIDING THEIR FEEDBACK FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECT AREA.

ONE, A CUL-DE-SAC LAYOUT IS PROPOSED, WHICH CONFLICTS WITH BOTH THE GENERAL PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THAT THE CUL-DE-SAC IS NECESSARY DUE TO THE UNIQUE SITE CONDITIONS.

UM, A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF UNITS WOULD BE RECOMMENDED TO AVOID THE CUL-DE-SAC IF THEY WISH TO PURSUE THE PLAN AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED WITH THE CUL-DE-SAC FOR FURTHER LEGISLATIVE ACTION WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN SUCH AS A CODE AMENDMENT OR A MASTER PLAN.

UM, AND THESE WOULD, UH, HAVE FAR REACHING CONSEQUENCES FOR SUBJECT AREA TWO, WHICH IS THE, UH, MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

A HIGHER DENSITY, UM, COMPARE A HIGHER DENSITY IS PROPOSED THAN, UM, THE SURROUNDING DENSITIES AND DESIGNATIONS.

THE EXISTING CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT, UH, JUST DIRECTLY TO THE EAST IS BUILT AT A DENSITY OF EIGHT UNITS PER ACRE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 14 UNITS PER ACRE ON THE SITE, WHICH WOULD COME OUT TO ABOUT 42 UNITS.

THE INTENDED DENSITY, UM, WOULD NOT ACT AS AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE OPEN SPACE, WHICH HAS AN EFFECTIVE DENSITY OF ZERO, THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES TO THE NORTH AT FOUR UNITS PER ACRE, AND THE CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT TO THE EAST AT EIGHT DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE FINAL CONSIDERATION IS REGARDING THE RED HILL NEIGHBORHOOD.

PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PAST FIVE TO 10 YEARS, UM, HAVE BROUGHT FORTH SIGNIFICANT,

[00:30:01]

WHILE STAFF PERFORMS FORMAL REVIEWS OF TRAFFIC IMPACTS AND IMPOSES MITIGATION MEASURES AS NECESSARY.

UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD MAY STILL PERCEIVE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACTS AS THIS EARLY ACTION HEARING DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY FORM OF APPROVAL, UM, OF THE INTENDED PROPOSAL.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL PROVIDE COMMENTS TO THE APPLICANT SUCH THAT THEY CAN TERM CAN DETERMINE IF THEY WANT TO CONSIDER FILING A FORMAL APPLICATION.

IF SUGGESTIONS OR ALTERATIONS ARE PROVIDED THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE, THE APPLICANT CAN WORK WITH PLANNING STAFF TO MAKE THOSE REVISIONS OR EXPLORE A NEW PROPOSAL.

THE APPLICANT CAN REQUEST THAT THE REVISED PROPOSAL RECEIVE ADDITIONAL EARLY ACTION FEEDBACK FROM COUNSEL IF DESIRED, THE APPLICANT CHOOSES TO.

IF THE APPLICANT PRO CHOOSES TO PROCEED WITH THE PROPOSAL, THEY CAN SUBMIT A FORMAL APPLICATION TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED FOR THIS ITEM.

COPIES OF THE COMMENTS HAD PLACED ON THE DAIS FOR YOUR REVIEW.

STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM KENNEDY.

I'LL JUST ADD IT WAS TWO EARLIER IN THE DAY.

BY THE END OF, BY THE TIME WE GOT TO TONIGHT'S HEARING, THERE WERE FOUR COMMENTS THAT WE GOT.

SO I BELIEVE THE COUNSEL HAS COPIES OF ALL FOUR OF THOSE IN FRONT OF THEM.

OKAY.

BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CA FROM COUNSEL BEFORE I OPEN THE HEARING? ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? OKAY, THEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

THERE ARE FIVE COMMENTS TONIGHT.

THE FIRST ONE IS FROM RENEE MASSEY, AND SECOND WILL BE MELISSA SPARKS.

GOOD EVENING.

AS A RESIDENT OF THE RED HILL COMMUNITY FOR 30 YEARS, MY CONCERNS MIRROR THOSE THAT THE STAFF HAS OUTLINED UNDER THE CONS THEY PRESENTED ON PAGE FIVE.

SO I'LL NOT, I, WELL, MY PAGE FIVE WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT, SO I WILL NOT REPEAT THEM.

UM, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRAWN TO THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF ITS CHARM AND THE COUNTRY CLUB WAS ONE OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES THAT WE KNEW HAD BEEN HERE FOR YEARS.

THE POTENTIAL FOR THE CLUB TO BE DESIGNATED AS A HISTORICAL SITE DUE TO ITS HISTORY, MAKE SIT AND THE AREA VERY SPECIAL.

IT IS ALSO WHY THE MAIN CONCERN TO EVEN CONSIDER THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE DEVASTATING, PRIMARILY DUE TO THE TRAFFIC ISSUES.

TRAFFIC IS ALREADY A CONCERN, BUT WILL, IT WILL BECOME TRAUMATIC IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

THE 250 UNITS, THE LE LENNAR CONDOS ONCE COMPLETED AND SOLD, WILL PRODUCE ANYWHERE FROM 252 POSSIBLY 500 VEHICLES.

THE 308 APARTMENT UNITS ON THE CORNER OF FOOTHILL AND GROVE WILL PRODUCE 308 TO POSSIBLY 600 VEHICLES.

THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL MINIMUM OF 550 TO POSSIBLY 1100 VEHICLES.

GIVEN THE, THE POSSIBILITY THAT EVERY HOUSEHOLD WOULD HAVE TWO CARS, WHICH IS NOT HARD TO IMAGINE, UM, ANYWAY, IT WOULD, UH, INCREASE THAT MINIMUM TO POSSIBLY 1100 VEHICLES INTO THE STREETS OF RED HILL, AS WELL AS THE SMALL INTERSECTION ON FOOTHILL AND GROVE.

AND THEN TO CONSIDER ADDING MORE HOMES AND CONDO UNITS THAT WOULD PRODUCE EVEN MORE TRAFFIC, POSSIBLY UP TO 70 ADDITIONAL VEHICLES.

IF THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST TO RE DESIGNATE AND REZONE PORTIONS OF THE CLUB'S LAND FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND UPGRADES, AND FOR THEM TO EXPAND RECREATIONAL OFFERINGS FOR THEIR MEMBERS, THEN THAT IS THE MEMBER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

IMPROVEMENTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABSORBED FROM THE MEMBERS THROUGH GOLF MEMBERSHIPS, MONTHLY FEES AND SOCIAL MEMBER FEES.

IT SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MRS. MASSEY.

MELISSA SPARKS, FOLLOWED BY MICHELLE LINLEY.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR PRO TIM COUNCIL MEMBERS AND PLANNING STAFF.

MY NAME IS MELISSA SPARKS AND I LIVE APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET FROM CAA CASINO, WHICH IS AFFECTED IN THE PROPOSED CHANGES ON THE AGENDA LISTED AS F1 GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS IN THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB.

I'M HERE TODAY TO RESPECTFULLY OBJECT TO THE PROJECT THAT IS REQUESTING

[00:35:01]

I'M A LONGSTANDING RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND RECENTLY ACHIEVED A LONG-TERM GOAL OF OWNING A HOME FOR MY CHILDREN AND I IN THE HISTORIC RED HILL COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY WITH THE DIRECT VIEW OF THE COUNTRY CLUB AND THE VAST GREENERY AND CITY VIEWS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

CURRENTLY, THE AREA DESIGNATED AS GENERAL OPEN SPACE HOLDS HISTORIC HISTORIC FOLIAGE THAT IS NOT JUST LANDSCAPING THEIR HERITAGE ASSETS.

THEY PROVIDE SHADE, IMPROVE AIR QUALITY, REDUCE NOISE, AND ARE A DEFINING PART OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTER.

REMOVING THEM WOULD PERMANENTLY ERASE A PIECE OF LOCAL HISTORY THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED BEYOND AESTHETICS.

ADDING ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON THIS STREET WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE TRAFFIC NOISE AND PARKING PRESSURE IN AN ALREADY DENSE AREA.

CA CASINO IS ONE OF THE LAST ROADS IN THE RED HILL COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT OVERRUN WITH TRAFFIC.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO SIDEWALKS OR STREET LIGHTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT DUE TO VERY LOW TRAFFIC AND NO THROUGHWAY, CAA CASINO REMAINS A SAFE PLACE FOR RESIDENTS TO WALK, CHILDREN TO RIDE THEIR BIKES AND WILDLIFE TO LIVE.

INCREASING DENSITY WITH ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS THREATENS THAT SAFETY.

ALTOA AND BUENA VISTA ARE MAIN THROUGHWAYS ALREADY HEAVILY SPED THROUGH BY NON-RESIDENTS TRAVELING BETWEEN FOOTHILL AND BASELINE.

WE CANNOT WALK OR RIDE ON THE BIKE RIDES ON ALTO QUESTA DUE TO THE TRAFFIC AND RESIDENTIAL STREET PARKING.

THEREFORE, USE CAA CASINO.

ADDING MORE HOMES WITH NEW DRIVEWAYS AND TRAFFIC FLOW WILL ONLY COMPOUND EXISTING PROBLEMS AND POTENTIALLY PUT PEDESTRIANS CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT RISK.

I PURCHASED MY HOME WITH THE EXPECTATION OF PRESERVING THE OPEN CHARACTER AND GREENERY OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

LOSING THESE MATURE TREES AND FOLIAGE, REPLACING THEM WITH DENSE HOUSING DIMINISHES NOT ONLY THE QUALITY OF LIFE, BUT ALSO POTENTIALLY THE PROPERTY VALUES OF EXISTING HOMEOWNERS WHO RELY ON THE STABILITY.

THE RANCHO PLAN EXPLICITLY STATES THAT OPEN SPACES ARE A CORE ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO RETAINING AND ELEVATING ITS POSITION AS A REGIONAL LEADER IN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OF LIFE, COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM VALUE.

THE REMOVAL OF THIS EXISTING HABITAT WOULD DIRECTLY UNDERMINE THE CITY'S OWN STATED GOALS AND DIMINISH ITS EFFORTS TO SAFEGUARD LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT, THIS GENERAL OPEN SPACE IS ONE OF ONLY ONE OF TWO REMAINING IN THE RED HILL COMMUNITY, AND IT CONTINUES TO ENHANCE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

ONCE IT IS GONE, IT CANNOT BE REPLACED.

I ASK THAT THE CITY CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES FOR THE APPLICANT THAT PRESERVE AT LEAST SOME OF THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND PRESERVATION DO NOT HAVE TO BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

AND THE BALANCE PLAN CURRENTLY PROVIDES HOUSING WHILE PROTECTING NATURAL ASSETS AND THE LIVABILITY OF EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

IN CLOSING THIS PROJECT AS PROPOSED WOULD CAUSE IRR IRREVERSIBLE HARM TO OUR COMMUNITY'S HISTORY, ENVIRONMENT, AND SAFETY.

I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE COUNCIL TO REJECT OR REQUIRE MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PLAN TO PRESERVE THESE TREES AND PROTECT THE EXISTING RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER, MICHELLE LIN LINLEY, FOLLOWED BY GABE MENDEZ.

THANK YOU.

I AM A RESIDENT OF RED HILL AND HAVE LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE.

I'M ALSO AN EQUITY MEMBER OF THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB AND A PASSPORT PRESIDENT.

I THINK IT VERY PRUDENT THAT THE COUNCIL BE AWARE THAT THE VOTING EQUITY MEMBERSHIP OF THE CLUB HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THESE PROJECTS, NOR HAVE THEY BEEN NOTIFIED OF AN INTENT TO SELL ANY OF ITS OWN PROPERTY.

THE BOARD HAS WORKED AUTONOMOUSLY TO APPROVE SPENDING MONEY AND PURSUING A PROJECT THAT THE EQUITY MEMBERS HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT AND HAVE NOT APPROVED THAT FACT ASIDE.

THIS PROJECT OR THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT RIGHT FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

REGARDING, UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATION ON RED HILL.

IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS.

IT'S BEEN, UH, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND MANY MEETINGS REGARDING UNSAFE AND FRUSTRATING SITUATION AROUND THIS AREA REGARDING THE PROJECT ON COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE.

ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS TRAFFIC TO IMPACT, UH, IT WOULD BE ADDING TRAFFIC TO THE DANGEROUS DOWNHILL BLIND CORNER THAT EXISTS THERE.

I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE DENSITY OF THIS PROJECT.

AS STATED IN THE, IN THE REPORT, THE PROPOSED 14 UNITS WOULD DEFINITELY NOT MEET POLICY AND SHOULD BE MUCH LOWER.

LOOKING AT THE PROPOSED HOME SITE ON CAIA CASINO, ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS TRAFFIC IMPACT ALREADY STATED, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE GREATER PARKING IMPACT.

OUR STREETS ARE 70 PLUS YEARS OLD AND ARE AT BEST SUBSTANDARD IN WIDTH.

IT'S ALREADY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER PASSING TRAFFIC ON THE STREETS, LET ALONE WITH PARKED CARS ON BOTH SIDES.

ANOTHER 13 HOMES OF CARS WOULD ADD TO THIS EXISTING PROBLEM.

ANOTHER CONCERN HERE IS THE IMPACT TO HOME VALUES IN OUR AREA.

THE VALUES OF THESE OLDER ESTABLISHED HOMES HAVE BEEN SET IN PART WITH SIGNIFICANT VIEWS.

NOW, AS A REALTOR, I KNOW YOU CANNOT BUY A VIEW, BUT THE LARGE, THERE IS A LARGE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT WOULD SUFFER SIGNIFICANTLY IN VALUE WITH THIS PROJECT, I'VE HEARD THAT THESE HIGH-END HOMES WOULD INCREASE THE VALUES IN THE AREA, BUT

[00:40:01]

THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THIS PROJECT IS 12,000 SQUARE FEET.

WITH A MEDIAN SALES PRICE RIGHT NOW OF $840,000.

THIS WOULD CERTAINLY NOT CONFORM TO THE MAJORITY OF HOMES ON THE HILL.

ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN NOT ADDRESSED IS THE POOR DRAINAGE ON CAIA CASINO THAT CAUSES MASSIVE RUNOFF ONTO THE GOLF COURSE EVERY YEAR.

SEWAGE IS ALSO A CONCERN.

THERE IS NO SEWER AVAILABLE ON THAT SIDE OF THE HILL.

THE CLOSEST TIE IN WOULD BE SEWER LOCATED UPHILL FROM THE PROJECT ON ALT QUESTA AND WOULD REQUIRE A PUMPING STATION FOR THE PROJECT.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT? AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE V ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON OUR OPEN SPACE.

THE COURSE IS HOME TO A VERY DIVERSE VARIETY.

WE HAVE WILDLIFE INCLUDING EGYPTIAN CANADIAN PEACE.

THANK YOU MS. LINLEY.

I'M SO SORRY AND I HOPE THAT THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS WHAT A DEVASTATING IMPACT THIS WOULD HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GABE MENDEZ, FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM GRAY.

UH, GOOD EVENING, UH, MAYOR PROAM AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

LET'S SEE.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS MIC IS WORKING.

UM, I, MY NAME IS, UH, GABRIEL MENDEZ.

I LIVE ON BUENA VISTA AVENUE OR BUENA VISTA DRIVE ON RED HILL, UM, COMMUNITY.

AND IT'S ADJACENT TO THE, UH, RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB IN THE NINTH HOLE.

AND I'M HERE TONIGHT, UM, NOT JUST AS A IMPACTED HOMEOWNER, BUT AS A CONCERNED RESIDENT ADVOCATING FOR THE INTEGRITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THE VISION LAID OUT IN OUR GENERAL PLAN.

I STAND IN FIRM OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED 13 HOME DEVELOPMENT ON A PORTION OF THE RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB.

THIS PROPOSAL, UH, IS AN ACT OF OPPORTUNISTIC ENCROACHMENT THAT SACRIFICES HISTORIC OPEN SPACE FOR SHORT TERM GAIN.

THE DEVELOPERS SEE A PARCEL OF LAND.

WE SEE AN IRREPLACEABLE PIECE OF CUCAMONGA RANCH CUCAMONGA CHARACTER.

FIRST, LIKE TO ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE IMPACT.

THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL DIRECTLY DEGRADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY VALUES FOR THE EXISTING TAX PAYING RESIDENTS BY ERECTING A WALL OF HOMES THAT OBLITERATES THE STUNNING PROTECTED VIEW SCAPE OF THE GOLF COURSE.

UM, ITS MATURE TREES, THE WESTERN HORIZON.

OUR HOMES WERE BUILT WITH THE ASSURANCE OF THIS PERMANENT OPEN SPACE BUFFER.

APPROVING, UM, APPROVING THIS WOULD SET DANGEROUS PRECEDENT SIGNALING TO DEVELOPERS THAT ANY GREEN SPACE ADJACENT TO THE, UH, PRIVATE PROPERTY IS SIMPLY RIGHT FOR THE TAKING.

IN ADDITION, UH, THIS LAND IS HISTORICALLY ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT.

RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB IS NOT JUST A GOLF COURSE.

IT IS A SPRAWLING HUNDRED PLUS YEAR OLD LANDSCAPE DESIGNED BY GEORGE C. THOMAS JR.

AND IT'S IN LANDMARK IN ITS OWN RIGHT AND IT DOES HAVE SOME HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE THAT, UH, COULD, IN, COULD BE, UM, CONSIDERED, UH, IN MAKING YOUR DECISION.

UH, CRUCIALLY, THIS LAND SITS ALSO ON AN AREA OF HIGH ARCHEOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY.

IT IS PART OF THE HISTORIC CUCAMONGA RANCHO LANDS AND POTENTIALLY HOLDS PRICELESS ARTIFACTS FROM THE TONGA, UH, TONGA VILLAGE.

UM, THIS PROJECT, UH, SHOULD NOT PROCEED WITHOUT ITS MANDATORY, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IMPACT ON THE, UH, ON THE LAND ITSELF.

FINALLY, THIS PROPOSAL VIOLATES THE SPIRIT AND TEXT OF THE CITY'S ADOPTED PLAN.

OUR GENERAL PLAN PROMISES OR PRIORITIZES PRESERVATION OF EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND NATURAL OPEN SPACES AND AIMS TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY'S CHARACTER AND SENSE OF PLACE.

BUILDING 13 HOMES HERE INCREASES DENSITY, STRAINS THE INFRASTRUCTURE, REDUCES OUR VITAL TREE CANOPY, AND UNDERMINES THE VERY CONS CONSERVATION GOALS.

OUR CITY HAS COMMITTED CITY COUNCIL THIS PROPOSAL.

THANK YOU MR. MENDEZ.

OUR FINAL SPEAKER IS WILLIAM GRAY.

GOOD EVENING COUNSEL.

UH, I, UH, LEMME START BY SAYING I DON'T HAVE PREPARED REMARKS ONLY, UH, TODAY FINDING OUT ABOUT THE PROPOSAL, SO TO SPEAK.

AND SO MY REACTION WILL BE SPONTANEOUS, I GUESS.

UH, RED HILL IS A UNIQUE COMMUNITY.

MANY OF

[00:45:01]

UH, BUT I SUGGEST THAT BEFORE ANY SERIOUS ACTIONS CONSIDERED THAT YOU ACTUALLY VISIT THAT LOCATION TO SEE HOW UNIQUE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS.

THE RESIDENTS HAVE ALL MOVED THERE.

I MYSELF HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 35 YEARS, UH, AT THE CORNER OF RED HILL AND VALLEY VISTA, WHICH IS ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED SITE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE THE COUNTRY CLUB.

THE, WHAT I'VE COME AWAY WITH TONIGHT IS THE, WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE, THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COUNTRY CLUB MEMBERS, THE TWO TO 300 MEMBERS, EQUITY MEMBERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO DEVELOP YET AGAIN, A A MULTI-FAMILY, UH, DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE ONE THING THAT RANCHO DOESN'T REALLY NEED.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE SIZE AND COMPLEXITY OF, OF THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ALREADY SCHEDULED THE IMPACT OF, UM, CONCERN ABOUT THE LONG-TERM IMPACT OF THE CONTINUING HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.

BUT FOR THE RED HILL PRIVATE EQUITY HOLDERS TO WANT TO PROFIT OR EXPAND THE LUXURY OF THEIR COUNTRY CLUB AT THE EXPENSE OF RED HILL, RED HILL NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T SEEM QUITE RIGHT TO ME.

UH, AND I LIKE TO VIGOROUSLY OPPOSE THE PROPOSAL.

UH, THE, I NOTICED IN THE PRESENTATION THE, THE CONS, PROS AND CONS THEMSELVES.

THERE WERE TWICE AS MANY CONS AS THERE ARE PROS.

THE TRAFFIC IS THE OBVIOUS ONE, WHICH THE SYCAMORE HEIGHTS, UH, CONDOS, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY WILL EXIT ONTO RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB, DRIVE THE HILL THERE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PROPOSED SITE OF THE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE TRAFFIC ALREADY IS GONNA GONNA BE HUGELY IMPACTED.

AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE'S ENOUGH DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA AND WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A NO IN YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MR. GRAY SAYING NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS.
