PROJECT.

[B1. Presentation of the APWA Southern California Chapter BEST Award for the West Foothill Project.]

JASON, WELL, DAY DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES AND ROMERO ROMEO DAVID, ASSOCIATE ENGINEER.

I CAN SPEAK LOUD ENOUGH.

UM, OUR CITY ENGINEER HAS A FEW WORDS HE WOULD LIKE TO SAY ABOUT THIS AWARD AND RECOGNITION.

SO, UM, AS MANY OF YOU MIGHT REMEMBER, UM, WEST FOOTHILL BOULEVARD HAS BEEN IN NEED OF, UH, UPGRADE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

UH, THE VISION FOR THAT, UH, UPGRADE GOES BACK DECADES.

UH, WHEN I GOT TO THE CITY IN 2012, UH, WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO START WORKING ON THAT PROJECT AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY GOT, UH, DISSOLVED BY THE STATE AND WE HAD LOST OUR FUNDING TO, UH, DO THAT PROJECT.

AND SO FOR MANY YEARS WE LOOKED FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THAT PROJECT DONE EQUALS, AND IN THE PROCESS, GET A NEW ROADWAY OUT OF IT.

AND, UH, SO IN 20, UH, 2023, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO GET A GRANT, UH, FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THROUGH THE LOCAL PROGRAMS, PROJECT PROGRAMS, UH, GRANT PROGRAM, UH, TO HELP FUND THAT PROJECT AND FINALLY GET IT OFF THE GROUND AND FINALLY GET IT, UH, UM, ACCOMPLISHED AND, EXCUSE ME.

AND, UH, CONSTRUCTION STARTED IN JANUARY OF 2024.

AND AS YOU REMEMBER, IT TOOK 13 MONTHS AND, AND WE, WE, UH, WE WE WORKED THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

AND IN 2025 THIS YEAR, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION, UH, SELECTED THIS PROJECT AS A PROJECT OF THE YEAR, UH, FOR A PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD IN THE TRANSPORTATION CATEGORY, UH, WHICH FOCUSES ON ADVANCING SAFETY, CONNECTIVITY, AND EFFICIENCY IN TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS.

AND SO WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THIS AWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

'CAUSE IT IS, UH, YOUR, YOUR WORK, YOUR VISION, YOUR COOPERATION, YOUR SUPPORT OF ALL THAT WE DO, ALONG WITH THE COMMUNITY, UH, TO THAT GOT THIS PROJECT ACCOMPLISHED.

AND SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WELL, RIGHT BACK AT YOU FOR, UH, ROMO.

DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? I KNOW YOU WERE THE PROJECT MANAGER, WEREN'T YOU? YES.

UH, WELL, UH, THIS PROJECT IS, UH, YEAH.

OH, I THINK WE KEEP LOSING IT.

WELL, THIS PROJECT, WE SUBMITTED A ENTRY TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, SO MANY CITY, AND THEY SELECTED THIS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO BE THE PROJECT OF THE YEAR.

I THINK THAT'S BIG FOR THE CITY RANCH TO CUOMO GAS.

I, I KNOW THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON EXTENDING THAT ALL ALONG FOOTHILL BOULEVARD OVER THE DECADES YET TO COME, OR YEARS YET TO COME.

YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE, UM, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE PEOPLE ASK ABOUT THE PROTECTED BIKE LANES.

AND I,

[00:05:01]

UH, BUT, UM, THE PROJECT TURNED OUT TO BE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

SO A LOT, LOT SAFER.

UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, WE'RE THRILLED THAT YOU DID IT.

AND THIS IS GOING RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

BECAUSE YOU CAN HANG THIS IN YOUR OFFICES.

WE'LL PUT IT IN OUR OFFICE.

OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE A PRESENTATION.

A RECOGNITION, THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOR BEING AWARDED THE IEEP, WHICH IS INLAND EMPIRE ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP, BEST PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVE AWARD.

I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD FROM THE IEEP, PAUL GR, WHO'S CEO OF THE INLAND EMPIRE ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP, AS WELL AS RANCHER COOK AMONGUS COAST TEAM, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS, AS OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND SUPPORT TEAM FROM THE RANCH CITY.

[B2. Recognition of the City of Rancho Cucamonga for Being Awarded the IEEP Best Public Safety Initiative Award. ]

CITIES COUNTY AGENCIES THAT ARE TURNING RED TAPE INTO A RED CARPET FOR THE EMPLOYER COMMUNITY.

UM, WE DO THAT BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPEN AND THE GOOD IDEAS THAT COME FORTH, AND WE WANT THAT TO BE SHARED AMONGST THE 4.7 MILLION, UH, RESIDENTS OF THE INLAND EMPIRE.

AND, UH, THIS PUBLIC SAFETY AWARD, UH, IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, IS VERY COMPETITIVE.

UM, AGAIN, UH, WE, UH, TAKE NOMINATIONS FROM ALL THE CITIES IN RIVERSIDE AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES AND THE TWO COUNTIES.

UH, SO THE COAST PROGRAM, UH, YOUR OUTREACH TO, UH, SENIORS AND, UH, YOUNG PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WITH, UH, MENTAL CHALLENGES AND THE FOLLOW UP AND THE CARE YOU PROVIDE, UM, CAME TO THE TOP.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CITY, TO CITY FIRE AND, UH, POLICE, UH, FOR THE COAST PROGRAM.

SO, CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU'RE ORDERING STARBUCKS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

AND ALFRED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A FEW VOTE? UH, JUST, YOU GUYS CAN HEAR ME ON THIS? OR SHOULD I USE MY FIREFIGHTER VOICE UNDER VOICE? FIREFIGHTER VOICE? OKAY.

UM, WE'RE TRULY, UH, UM, FULL OF GRATITUDE AND HONORED TO BE HERE.

BUT REALLY, UM, ALL, ALL, ALL THAT IS DUE IS TRULY RESPECT AND, UH, GRATITUDE TO THE LEADERS WHO HAVE THE VISION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

WE ARE JUST THE PEOPLE AND THE END USERS OF THIS PROGRAM, AND WE'RE HONORED TO DO IT.

HOWEVER, I REALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR, OUR MAYOR, OUR AMAZING CITY COUNCIL, OUR, UM, POLICE CHIEF CAPTAIN SMITH, AND OUR FIRE CHIEF AND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, UM, MICHAEL MCCLEON, AS WELL AS OUR AMAZING CITY MANAGER.

UM, THIS IS ALL DUE TO THEIR VISION COAST IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM THAT REALLY IS GONNA SAVE LIVES AND HAS AN IMPACT.

AND WE ALREADY HAVE SEEN THAT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, WE RESPOND TO ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE CALLS A DAY, AND THAT'S ABOUT A THOUSAND CALLS A YEAR THAT WE HAVE AN IMPACT ON.

HOWEVER, OUR GOAL IS TO EMPOWER YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE HERE, TO JOIN US IN THIS MISSION OF HELPING, UH, COLLABORATE AND FIX MENTAL HEALTH.

THERE'S ABOUT ONE IN FIVE AMERICANS THAT SUFFER MENTAL HEALTH IN OUR COUNTRY.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITIZENS OF RANCHO, THAT'S ABOUT 35 TO 40,000 PEOPLE, WE'LL HAVE MENTAL HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ARE ONLY GOING IN ABOUT A THOUSAND CALLS A YEAR.

SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU IS, UH, A CALL TO ACTION.

IF ONE, EACH PERSON IN HERE, THERE'S ABOUT A HUNDRED PEOPLE HERE.

IF ONE OF YOU JUST REACHES OUT TO ONE PERSON A DAY, CHECK IN ON THEM.

INSTEAD OF BEING ON YOUR PHONE, LOOK AT THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU AND JUST ASK THEM HOW THEIR DAY IS.

THAT'S SMALL INTERACTION CAN TRULY IMPACT SOMEONE AND CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF THEIR LIFE.

SO IF ONE OF YOU DOES THAT, THAT'S SEVEN PEOPLE A WEEK, 30 PEOPLE A MONTH, AND 365

[00:10:01]

PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE.

AND IF THERE'S A HUNDRED PEOPLE HERE, THAT'S OUR ENTIRE 36,000 PEOPLE THAT WE CAN IMPACT.

SO WE CALL ON YOU, OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS IS YOUR PROGRAM.

THIS IS US WORKING AS, AS A TEAM.

THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS HERE TODAY AND A LOT OF EMOTIONS.

BUT REMEMBER, EVERYONE IS SUFFERING IN THEIR OWN WAY.

WE'RE ONLY GOING ON THOSE FOUR OR FIVE CALLS A DAY, AND WE SPEND HOURS WITH PEOPLE.

YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO JUST REACH OUT TO ONE PERSON AND MAKE AN IMPACT.

SO REMEMBER THAT AS WE START THE YEAR, WE'RE TRULY HUMBLED FOR THIS, UH, RECOGNITION.

HOWEVER, IT'S REALLY DUE TO OUR AMAZING LEADERSHIP WHO HAD THE VISION TO SEE THAT MENTAL HEALTH IS A GROWING PROBLEM AROUND OUR COUNTRY.

WE CANNOT HANDLE THAT OVERLOAD ON A NORMAL DAY-TO-DAY BASIS WITH OUR FIRE AND POLICE AND, UM, OUR DBH PARTNERS.

AND THAT'S WHERE THIS PROGRAM CAME TOGETHER.

THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE TRULY MAKING THE DIFFERENCE BY ALLOCATING A, A FIREFIGHTER, BY ALLOCATING A DEPUTY SHERIFF, AND BY ALLOCATING SOMEONE FROM DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND, UH, KUDOS TO OUR LEADERSHIP.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND YOUR DOG'S NAME.

AND THIS IS RUGER.

RUGER IS A CORTISOL DETECTION FOR SOMEBODY THAT, UH, WANT TO KNOW.

AND HE DETECTS PEOPLE THROUGH A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.

AND HIS JOB IS TO DETECT THAT WE TRY TO PICK HIM UP HERE 'CAUSE HE'S A LITTLE SHORT, VERTICALLY CHALLENGED.

IF YOU WANNA COME DOWN HERE AND GET A QUICK PHOTO AND GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY RIGHT HERE.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY HE IS THAT ONE? THAT'S THE HANDLER OF THE DOG .

ONLY ONE THAT CAN PICK HIM UP.

DO I HAVE, OKAY.

WE CAN SIT DOWN.

OUR LAST PRESENTATION IS THE PRESENTATION OF THE REGIONAL AND LOCAL HEALTHCARE UPDATE PRESENTED BY SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL.

I'D LIKE TO CALL FORWARD TO THE PODIUM.

SHE'S ALREADY THERE.

UM, BRENDA RANGEL WITH GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COORDINATOR FOR SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL.

DOWN THOSE UNITS JUST BECAUSE WE COULD TRANSFER THE PATIENTS OUT TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL, FOR EXAMPLE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, MAYOR PROAM.

I'M CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS BRENDA RANGEL.

I'M THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COORDINATOR FOR SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL.

UM, UNFORTUNATELY OUR PRESIDENCY O JOHN CHAPMAN WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT TODAY.

SO I'M HERE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, SOME UPDATES THAT WE HAVE IN HEALTHCARE ORIGINALLY, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE AMAZING THINGS WE'RE DOING IN THE COMMUNITY.

UH, SO WE REALLY WANNA COME OUT HERE AND JUST LET SOME OF THE RESIDENTS, UM, AND OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS JUST KNOW ABOUT, UM, ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT SAN ANTONIO'S DOING, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SERVE AS YOUR PRIMARY HOSPITAL FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS.

SO, UM, I'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED HERE.

SO FIRST WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, UM, IN HEALTHCARE.

SO, UH, CURRENTLY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND REGIONALLY, WE'RE HAVING A MATURITY CRISIS.

UM, UNFORTUNATELY A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH, UH, FEDERAL COSTS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR.

UM, A LOT OF HOSPITALS ARE OPERATING IN THE RED, WHICH MEANS WE'RE KIND OF, UM, FINANCIALLY DOING, UH, A A LITTLE BAD FOR, FOR, FOR SOME OF THE HOSPITALS IN, IN THE AREA.

UM, AND USUALLY WHEN THERE'S A FINANCIAL CRISIS OR THERE'S, UM, A CRISIS OF THIS, THIS MATTER, THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT UNITS THAT USUALLY TEND TO GO OUT FIRST IN THE HOSPITALS BEFORE THEY END UP CLOSING A HOSPITAL THAT IS PEDIATRICS AND MATERNITY.

UM, PEDIATRICS TEND TO GO OUT FIRST BEFORE MATERNITY BECAUSE, UM, THERE IS PEDIATRIC, UH, HOSPITALS IN THE AREA THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TRANSFER SOME OF OUR PATIENTS TO.

SO SOME OF THE HOSPITALS THAT MAYBE AREN'T, UM, PEDIATRIC CARE HOSPITALS, THEY'RE ABLE, THEY CLOSED

[B3. Regional and Local Healthcare Update Presented by San Antonio Regional Hospital.]

IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE LIKE LOMA LINDA OR UM, CHOC.

BUT AS FAR AS MATERNITY, NOW WE'RE SEEING A BIG IMPACT ON MATERNITY ITSELF, AND THERE'S ALREADY NOT TOO MANY MATERNITY UNITS IN THE AREA.

UM, AND SOME OF THEM WE'VE NOTICED IN THE PAST THREE YEARS HAVE BEEN CLOSING.

NOW, THIS IS A BIG IMPACT FOR EXPECTING MOMS, UM, WHO ARE REALLY GONNA FEEL SOME OF THIS IMPACT, UH, FOR, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR NEEDS FOR THEIR DELIVERY.

SO, THREE HOSPITAL IN THE REGION, REGIONS HAVE CLOSED THEIR MATERNITY UNITS.

THE FIRST ONE BEING, UM, SAND DIMAS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WHICH CLOSED IN 2023.

UM, WE HAD MONTCLAIR MEDICAL CENTER WHO

[00:15:01]

CLOSED LAST YEAR, THE MATERNITY UNIT.

AND THEN WE HAD CORONA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER WHO ANNOUNCED CLOSURE OF THEIR MATERNITY UNIT, UH, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.

SO THEY WILL, UH, BE HAVING CLOSURES OF THEIR MATERNITY UNIT STARTING IN JANUARY.

SO, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE MAP, UM, REALLY THE, THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE INLAND EMPIRE AND THE SOUTH END IS REALLY WHAT'S GONNA SEE THOSE IMPACTS BECAUSE THERE'S NOT TOO MANY MATERNITY WARDS.

UM, SO HERE IN RANCHO, UM, THE CLOSEST MATERNITY WARDS THAT ARE GONNA BE IN THE AREA IS GONNA BE OF COURSE, SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL.

WE HAVE POMONA VALLEY AND THEN KAISER FONTANA IN ONTARIO.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO, UH, COME OUT HERE AND KIND OF TELL THE COMMUNITY THAT WES SERVE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THEIR MATERNITY NEEDS.

SO WE REALLY WANNA TALK ABOUT WHAT SAN ANTONIO'S ACTUALLY DOING TO HELP COMBAT THIS.

UH, SO SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL IS ACTUALLY OPENING UP A NEW MATERNITY UNIT, AND I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RENDERING, UM, THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS MATERNITY UNIT THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT.

SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND LET IT PLAY WHILE I TALK A LITTLE BIT OVER IT.

UM, SO I'LL LET THE MUSIC PLAY.

SO THIS IS GONNA BE OUR NEW AND IMPROVED MATERNITY UNIT HERE.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS NEW ATERNITY UNIT IS GONNA OFFER EIGHT PRIVATE DELIVERY RECOVERY ROOMS. TRY 20 PRI PRIVATE POSTPARTUM ROOMS, TWO C-SECTION ROOMS, IT'S OWN DEDICATED EMERGENCY ROOMS, AND THEN IT'S ALSO GONNA HAVE 14 BED, UM, BEDS FOR OUR NICU UNIT.

WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE A NEW NICU.

SO THIS IS REALLY, REALLY EXCITING BECAUSE, UM, EVER SINCE WE'VE HAD THE HOSPITAL, WE HAVEN'T IMPROVED OUR MATERNITY UNIT.

AND NOW THAT THERE'S A CRISIS OF MATERNITY WARDS, UH, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT ALTHOUGH A LOT OF HOSPITALS IN THE AREA ARE CLOSING THE MATERNITY WARD WARDS, WELL, WE'RE OPENING OUR NEW ONE TO HELP SERVE, UM, SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, SO THIS IS REALLY, REALLY EXCITING.

I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS MATERNITY UNIT.

IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.

IT'S GONNA BE VERY, UM, NEW AND IMPROVED AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY NEEDED IN, IN OUR AREA.

SO WE REALLY THINK THAT, UM, AT SAN ANTONIO, OUR, OUR SLOGAN IS HERE FOR LIFE BECAUSE WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU'RE HERE FROM THE START OF LIFE, YOU'LL WANNA CONTINUE YOUR SERVICES ALL THE WAY UNTIL AGING CARE.

SO, UM, BECAUSE OF THAT, WE ARE ALSO ALSO OPENING OUR CENTER OF AGING.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND PAN OVER TO THIS PICTURE HERE.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING THAT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.

MANY OF YOU MAY RECOGNIZE IT.

IT'S THE OLD MERCURY INSURANCE BUILDING.

UH, WE ARE NOW MAKING IT INTO OUR CENTER OF AGING BUILDING, WHICH IS GONNA BE A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR SENIOR CARE.

SO, UM, THIS CENTER OF AGING BUILDING WILL SERVE DIFFERENT SERVICES FOR OUR, UM, FOR OUR AGING POPULATION.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UM, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, UM, CARDIOLOGISTS, UH, PODIATRISTS, AUDIOLOGISTS, UM, FULL IMAGING SERVICES, AND A PHARMACY ALSO DEDICATED TO HERE.

UM, IT'S REALLY GONNA BE A NEW BENEFIT FOR THE COMMUNITY.

UM, WE'RE ALSO GONNA OFFER TRANSPORTATION TO ANYONE WITHIN A 20 MILE RADIUS.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS NEW PROJECT TO OPEN UP.

UH, WE WILL BE OPENING UP SOMETIME AROUND FEBRUARY, MARCH.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO, UM, ANNOUNCE THAT WE DON'T HAVE AN EX UH, AN OPENING DATE YET.

BUT ONCE WE DO, WE WILL DEFINITELY INVITE THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOUR OUR FACILITY AND HOPEFULLY, UM, SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT BETWEEN, UM, THE BEGINNING STAGES, LIFE AND ALSO AGING CARE THERE, THERE'S ALSO THAT IN BETWEEN, WHICH IS OUR URGENT CARE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE.

UM, WE ARE TRYING TO EXPAND OUR URGENT CARE SERVICES TO DIFFERENT, UM, CITIES IN THE AREA.

UM, WE DO HAVE OUR RANCHO LOCATION THAT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET AS WELL.

AND WE JUST OPENED A NEW COMPONENT.

I KNOW OUR FIRE CHIEF EARLIER DID AN AMAZING JOB ABOUT TALKING ABOUT BEHAVIOR AND MENTAL HEALTH.

AND WE THINK THAT'S A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT, UM, FACTOR AND SECTOR INTO, UH, TODAY'S DAY AND AGE.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR BRANCH.

THAT'S GONNA BE OUR SAN ANTONIO BEHAVIOR HEALTH COMPONENT, WHICH IS AN URGENT CARE PLUS.

SO IT'S GONNA BE A REGULAR URGENT CARE, BUT YOU'LL ALSO BE HAVING, UM, THAT PLUS, WHICH IS ADDITIONAL, UM, SERVICES THAT ARE GONNA BE DEDICATED TO MENTAL HEALTH.

SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO, UM, COME HERE AND GET A REFILL ON YOUR, SOME OF YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS, AND WE WILL, UM, BE HOPEFULLY A SOLUTION TO MILD TO MODERATE, UM, MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS THAT YOU MAY HAVE RIGHT NOW.

CURRENTLY THE, THE ONE WE HAVE OPEN JUST OPENED LAST MONTH IN, IN ONTARIO, BUT WE PLAN TO HOPEFULLY OPEN, UM, ONE IN RANCHO, POSSIBLY IN THAT NEW, UM, BUILDING THAT WE'RE BUILDING IN THE CENTER OF AGING.

SO HERE'S SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT HIGHLIGHTS, WHICH IS, UM, KIND OF A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THIS THIS PRESENTATION IS FOCUSED ON.

WE TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT MATERNITY MENTAL HEALTH, AND I WANNA GET A LITTLE BIT INTO, UH, WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND THEN ALSO WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR SOME OF OUR YOUTH PROGRAMS THAT WE DO.

SO WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM AT SAN ANTONIO, UM, A GREAT DEPARTMENT CALLED THE POPULATION HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

POPULATION HEALTH DEPARTMENT THAT DOES A REALLY GREAT JOB AT GOING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY, REALLY BEING FACE TO FACE WITH, UM, SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND, UM, REALLY GOING OUT THERE TALKING REALLY GREAT ABOUT OUR HOSPITAL AND ALSO ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING THAT WE DO.

SO WE DO DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING SUCH AS OUR SUPER SCIENCE DAYS, WHERE WE GO OUT TO,

[00:20:01]

TO SCHOOLS, SPECIFICALLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, AND TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT STEM AND HEALTHCARE RELATED CAREERS.

WE HAVE OUR CLINICAL SHADOWING PROGRAM, WHICH IS A REALLY GREAT FAN FAVORITE, WHICH I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE HAVE OUR YOUNG HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS PROGRAM, WHICH IS DEDICATED TOWARDS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, UM, TO EXPLORE MORE HEALTHCARE CAREERS AND AS WELL AS OUR HIGH SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAMS WHERE WE HAVE SOME OF OUR INTERNS THAT WE PRECEPT, UM, GO OUT AND TALK ABOUT A LITTLE ABOUT MORE WELLNESS AND WELLBEING.

SO OUR CLINICAL SHADOWING PROGRAM, UM, IS A SUMMER PROGRAM FOR JUNIORS AND ABOVE, UM, TO ENROLL.

SO IT'S A TWO WEEK PROGRAM THAT WE OFFER AT THE HOSPITAL WHERE STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO COME ON IN AND SHADOW, UM, SOME OF OUR STAFF.

SO WE HAVE THEM SHADOWING OPEN HEART SURGERIES, WE HAVE THEM SHADOWING, UM, JUST DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PATIENTS AND THEY, THEY GO TO VARIOUS DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

SO THEY GO TO OUR AMBULATORY CARE UNIT, OUR CARDIOLOGY UNIT, OUR CRITICAL CARE UNIT, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT LABORATORY, MATERNITY NUTRITION SERVICES, ALL THE UNITS YOU CAN THINK OF.

WE HAVE THEM THERE WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO REALLY EXPLORE AND LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT HEALTHCARE CAREERS, WHETHER IT BE THEY WANNA BE A DOCTOR, AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST, THEY WANNA BE A NURSE, OR THEY WANNA DO PHYSICAL THERAPY, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.

IT'S REALLY, REALLY GREAT.

UH, WE JUST HAD OUR BANQUET LAST WEEK WHERE WE HAD SOME OF OUR STUDENT SPEAKERS COME UP AND TALK ABOUT, UM, WHAT THEY LEARNED AND HOW WE'RE REALLY GOING TO BE AN INFLUENCE BASED OFF THIS, UH, PROGRAM THAT THEY DID INTO THEIR CAREERS.

AND SO JOHN, OUR CEO HAS HOPE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE BRING THESE STUDENTS ON AND HAVE THEM KIND OF SEE ABOUT THESE DIFFERENT HEALTHCARE CAREERS THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THAT LITTLE BIT OF A GAP THAT WE HAVE HERE OF A PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE.

AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY SOME OF THESE STUDENTS WILL WANNA COME BACK AND ACTUALLY WORK FOR US.

AND IF THEY DON'T, WE'LL AT LEAST THEY WE'RE HONORED TO HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION TOWARDS THEIR CAREER.

HERE'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN FOR SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS. THERE'S PROGRAMMING, SO SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT, UM, WE'VE HAD SOME OF OUR STUDENTS, UM, IN THE CLINICAL SHADOWING PROGRAM.

AND THEN HERE'S SOME OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENINGS WE ALSO OFFER.

SO WE ACTUALLY GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND OFFER FREE SCREENINGS.

UM, AND WE'VE HAD THEM CONDUCTED HERE IN ONTARIO, RANCHO UPLAND, FONTANA MONTCLAIR.

SO THE SCREENINGS INCLUDE A, A1C CHECKS, BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING, CARDIOVASCULAR ASSESSMENTS, UM, AND PROSTATE SCREENING, UM, PROSTATE SCREENING, AND IT'S THROUGH BLOOD SAMPLES.

AND WE ALSO HAVE ONSITE NURSE PRACTITIONERS, REGISTERED NURSES, MEDICAL ASSISTANTS LAB, AND WE ALSO HAVE, UM, UROLOGISTS ON SITE AS WELL TOO THAT CAN ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS OR NEEDS.

SO THIS PAST YEAR, THESE ARE THE, THESE ARE THE RESULTS OF THE SCREENS WE'VE CONDUCTED IN ONTARIO.

RANCHO UPLAND, FONTANA, MONTCLAIR ENCINO IN TOTAL WE SCREENED WAS 305, UM, INDIVIDUALS THAT WE SCREENED, WHICH WAS GREAT.

AND WE ALSO HAVE A GREAT PICTURE WITH OUR CONGRESSWOMAN NORMA TORRES, WHO CAME TO OUT TO ONE OF OUR EVENTS.

SO WE REALLY, UM, WANNA JUST BE A, A RESOURCE TO, TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR SOME OF OUR SCREENINGS THAT WE CONDUCT.

WE ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS, UM, THAT WE HAVE HERE.

THIS ONE IS MORE TAILORED TOWARDS SOME OF OUR SENIORS, UM, WHICH THEY, THEY LOVE.

IT'S IT'S WORKSHOPS TAILORED ON NUTRITION EDUCATION WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO, UM, GET CLASSES FROM OUR REGISTERED DIETICIANS AND THEY TALK ABOUT HOW YOU CAN INCORPORATE HEALTHY EATING INTO TO EVERYDAY HABITS.

DOES HEALTHY EATING.

DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO TASTE BAD.

IT CAN TASTE GREAT AND IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT'S JUST IMPROVING A SMALL LITTLE THING.

SO WE'VE DEFINITELY HAD VERY, VERY GOOD OUTCOMES WITH THESE CLASSES AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING SOME OF THESE CLASSES INTO OUR NEW CENTER OF AGING.

WE ALSO DO PROVIDE EDUCATION INTO THE COMMUNITY WITH, UH, NARCAN.

OUR TEAM OVER THE, OVER THIS PAST YEAR HAS TRIBUTED OVER 713 BOXES OF NARCAN IN THE PAST YEAR.

UM, IF ANYONE NEEDS NARCAN, UM, OR WOULD LIKE TO JUST HAVE SOME, IT, IT ALWAYS COMES IN HANDY.

WE DO GIVE IT OUT FOR FREE AT ANY OF OUR URGENT CARE LOCATIONS AS WELL AS A HOSPITAL, YOU JUST GO UP TO DESKS, ASK FOR NARCAN AND WE WILL DISTRIBUTE IT OUT FOR YOU.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

AND HERE'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY, HERE'S OUR OUTREACH MAP AND HERE ARE SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, UM, THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH AND WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME, UM, WORKING WITH THEM, ONE OF THEM BEING HEALTHY RC SO THEY'VE BEEN GREAT PARTNERS OF OURS.

SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE.

UM, WE REALLY HOPE WE CAN SERVE AS THE PRIMARY ALTERNATIVE HOSPITAL FOR ANYONE IN THE AREA.

NOT EXCEED ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE BUSINESS SEC SECTION OF THE, OF THE AGENDA.

I THINK WE ALL FORTUNATE TO HAVE SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL HOSPITAL, UH, HERE IN RIGHT DOWN THE STREET IN UPLAND, SO, AND IT SERVE AS A WHOLE REGION.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR REPORT.

IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS OF OF STAFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

WE'LL EXPECT YOU BACK SOMETIME NEXT YEAR AGAIN.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS BRINGS US TO THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS PORTION OF THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

UM, THIS IS THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL AND FIRE BOARD ON ANY ISSUE LISTED ON THE AGENDA OR ON NOT, NOT LISTED ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL AND THE MEETING WILL NOT, THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS WILL

[00:25:01]

AND THEREAFTER, IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WANTS TO STAY TO, TO, TO COMPLETE THEIR PUBLIC COMMENTS, THEY CAN DO SO AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS AND WHY SOMETIMES WE COULD ASK, WHAT'S THE ANSWER, MAYOR, OR WHAT'S THE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HUTCHINSON.

UM, SO I'D LIKE HIM TO JUST UNDERSTAND ACCORDING TO LAW, STATE LAW, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALOGUE OR DISCUSSION, UH, AMONG THE COUNCIL, AND THAT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, THE BROWN ACT.

SO IF YOU'RE HERE TO DISCUSS THE TWANDA HEIGHTS SPECIFIC PLAN, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO EXPRESS YOUR OPINION, BUT THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION WILL COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL AT A HEARING THAT'S EXPECTED ON JANUARY 21ST.

THAT'S WHERE YOU SHOULD BE SPEAKING, IS AT THAT PUBLIC, AT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I KNOW THERE'S A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE BY, BY THE LOOKS, OBVIOUSLY SOME FAMILIAR FACES THAT ARE HERE FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING A LITTLE BIT LATER ON IN THE MEETING.

UH, SO HOPEFULLY, UM,

[PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS]

YOU'LL BE ALLOWED TIME TO SPEAK, UH, WHOEVER CARES TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL REGARDING THE OUTCOME OF THAT HEARING.

SO OUR FIRST SPEAKER, WE HAVE EIGHT OF THEM.

GREG ARMSTRONG, FOLLOWED BY PHIL.

I'M GOING AHEAD OF PHIL.

I WOULDN'T WANT HAVE TO CALL.

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UM, I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE AMENDED ELWANDA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONSERVATION PLAN.

UM, MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND PURCHASED OUR FIRST HOME HERE 40 YEARS AGO.

WE LOVE LIVING HERE AND WE LOVE THE HOME.

WE WORK SO HARD TO ATTAIN IN TWANDA HEIGHTS.

UM, OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE VOICED LEGITIMATE CONCERNS ABOUT THE PLANNING COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT TO THE ANA HEIGHTS PROPERTY, UH, REQUESTED BY THE PREITY GROUP.

RESIDENTS HAVE ADDRESSED THE SEVERE IMPACT TO TRAFFIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE, THE DRAMATIC INCREASED HOUSING DENSITY THAT THIS AMENDMENT ALLOWS, THIS BEG FOR A COMPLETELY NEW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY, NOT SIMPLY AN AMENDMENT TO THE CURRENTS STUDY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS 78 YEARS OLD.

UM, THE AMENDED PREITY PLAN PERMITS UP TO 29 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

LET THAT SINK IN.

MUCH OF THIS INCREASED DENSITY IS ACCOMPLISHED BY MULTIFAMILY UNITS, OBVIOUSLY, WHICH CREATES ANOTHER CONCERN, WHICH HASN'T BEEN, WASN'T RAISED BEFORE, BUT IS PERSONABLE TO ME, PERSONAL TO ME, PUBLIC SAFETY.

WHY PUBLIC SAFETY? SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UH, MY WIFE AND YOUNG FAMILY WERE FINISHING UP DINNER AT THE SUBWAY, UH, SHOP IN THE, UH, F'S TRADER JOE'S SHOPPING CENTER ON HAVEN, JUST NORTH OF THE TWO 10 FREEWAY.

THERE'S AN ALLEYWAY RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHOP THAT LEADS TO APARTMENTS DIRECTLY EAST OF THE SHOPPING CENTER.

ON LEAVING THE SUBWAY, I WAS JUMPED BY THREE TEENAGERS IN REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO THE COUNTY SHERIFF.

HE SHARED THAT THIS WAS LIKELY PART OF GANG INITIATION AND THAT THEY HAD MANY OTHER INCIDENTS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX.

THAT'S WHY MULTI-HOUSING UNIT INCLUDED IN THE MEN WAN TWANDA HEIGHTS PLAN CAUSES ME CONCERN.

I ASK THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO CONSIDER, WOULD YOU WANT HIGH DENSITY HOUSING DEVELOPED WHERE YOU LIVE AS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SERVE THE FAMILIES YOU REPRESENT.

CONSEQUENTLY, I STRONGLY PLEAD WITH YOU NOT TO APPROVE THE AMENDED ZONING FOR AWANDA HEIGHTS, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN IT'S PRESENTED TO YOU.

LAST MONTH, LAST MONTH, AND THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS AT THE, I CAME TO THE MEETING, I CAME TO THE PLANNING MEETING LAST WEEK.

THANK YOU, PHIL OPION.

I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF THAT.

SEE ONE MORE.

MAYOR, CANCEL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

MY NAME IS PHIL OPION.

YOU WILL SAY THAT AGAIN TONIGHT AND YOU'LL SEE WHY IN A MINUTE.

UM, I, UH, LIVE IN, UH, DEER CREEK.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.

I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 43 YEARS IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND I TOO WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT RANCHO TWANDA, UH, PROJECT.

UH, WE WERE ORIGINALLY TOLD WHEN I MOVED TO RANCH CUCAMONGA THAT NOTHING ABOVE WILSON AVENUE WILL BE LESS THAN A HALF AN ACRE.

WE HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS COUNCIL PROBABLY TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 40 YEARS, AND WE WERE TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN, NOTHING O NOTHING LESS THAN A HALF ACRE ABOVE WILSON.

UM, WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT.

I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD DEVELOP THERE.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK IT'S GONNA HELP US ALL.

I THINK IT'S GONNA IMPROVE THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING ON IT AND I'D LOVE TO SEE IT, BUT AT HALF ACRE, UM,

[00:30:01]

UH, AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS HERE FOR THE, UH, COUNCIL MEETING.

AND WE WERE TOLD, UH, WHERE WE SAW WHERE YOU APPROVED MILLION DOLLAR HOMES.

UH, ONE WAS OVER OFF OF VISTA.

UH, YOU PROBABLY, IT HASN'T BEEN TO YOU YET.

UM, OVER, OFF OF BURL AND HILLSIDE, UH, EIGHT HOMES WERE APPROVED.

WELL OVER A MILLION DOLLAR HOMES.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T DO THAT ABOVE WHERE WE'RE AT.

THE DEVELOPER THAT WE SPOKE TO, OR THAT SPOKE LAST WEEK, UH, AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION TOLD US THAT IT DIDN'T PENCIL OUT.

I THINK YOU SHOULD SEND THEM BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ON PUTTING THAT UP THERE.

UM, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON.

UH, I WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT LAST WEEK THE PLANNING COMMISSION SETTLED ON 20 UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH I THINK IS CRAZY.

UM, AND THAT, THAT CAME FROM THE STAFF AND THE DEVELOPER.

UM, IT MAKES NO SENSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT TRAFFIC.

UH, IF YOU LOOK AT BANYAN, IF ANY OF YOU LIVE AROUND THERE, WHICH I KNOW A COUPLE OF YOU DO, UH, WHEN I'M ON THAT BANYAN STREET, I KNOW WE'RE GONNA PUT WILSON ALL THE WAY THROUGH, BUT WILSON'S GONNA GO DOWN TO ONE LANE AT DEER CREEK, SO, OR BEFORE HAVEN AVENUE.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE BOTTLENECKS EVERYWHERE WE GO.

UM, IF WE LOOK AT HERMOSA, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS ON THE PLANS LAST WEEK WERE ALSO THAT THERE, UH, THE PARKING, WELL, IF WE LOOK AT, UH, HERMOSA AND, AND, UH, UH, FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, PEOPLE ARE PARKING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE HOMEOWNERS ARE P****D OFF ABOUT IT.

I KNOW I WOULD BE.

SO I JUST THINK IT'S GONNA BECOME A REAL PROBLEM.

UM, I WILL SAY THIS TOO, I, UH, CAN TELL YOU, I KNOW THAT THE DEV, UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS STALKING ABOUT THE STRONG ARM OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE SUED.

AND WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU, AND I ALSO HEARD THAT WE'RE PART OF THAT COALITION TO GO AGAINST THE STATE.

MARIETTA AND LAKE ELSINOR HAVE BOTH SAID, WE WILL NOT PUT IN HIGH DENSITY HOUSING.

AND I KNOW HIGH DENSITY IS THREE OR MORE.

SO I URGE YOU NOT TO DO IT.

BEFORE, BEFORE, BEFORE I CALL OUR NEXT SPEAKER, I NEED TO ASK YOUR COOPERATION.

WE HAVE, UM, RULES OF DECORUM.

YOU CAN SIT DOWN, PHIL.

UH, WE HAVE RULES OF DECORUM, AND WHAT I'M SPEAKING TO IS A CLAPPING OR BOOING OR CHEERING.

SO WE REALLY, WE, WE, WE WANT TO, THIS IS A BUSINESS MEETING AND OUR RULES OF DECORUM THAT ARE BACK THERE ON THE BOARD, TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT CLAPPING AND SIGNAGE AND SO FORTH.

SO IF YOU WOULD JUST BEAR WITH US SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND AND GET THROUGH THIS MEETING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, ALLOWING YOU TO SPEAK.

BUT WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE THE CLAPPING GOING ON IF YOU AND BOOING AND STUFF.

MY HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE IN 2026, BECAUSE I NOW LIVE IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A HIGH FIRE ZONE, IS $9,500 A YEAR.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS CRYSTAL BALL BELL, FOLLOWED BY RON FCO.

HELLO, MAYOR.

AND COUNSEL.

UH, I'M ALSO HERE ABOUT THE TWANDA, UH, HEIGHTS SITUATION WE HAVE GOING ON.

UH, MY NAME IS CRYSTAL BELL.

I HAVE LIVED, BEEN A RESIDENT OF DEER CREEK SINCE 27, 20 17.

I HAVE A STUDENT AT BANDON ELEMENTARY AND A STUDENT AT LOS SOSO HIGH SCHOOL.

AND MY LIFE HAPPENS EXACTLY WHERE THE DEVELOPERS ARE TRYING TO AMEND THE PLAN AND DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR OUR AREA.

UH, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNS GOING ON THERE, BUT THE TWO ISSUES THAT I REALLY WANNA SPEAK DIRECTLY TO IS THE CONGESTION OF THE COMMUNITY.

UM, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE TRYING TO EVACUATE IF NECESSARY, AND THE LAUGH ABILITY THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO BUILD BY INCORPORATING MULTIPLE UNIT BUILDINGS IN THE PROJECT.

AS I MENTIONED, MY LIFE HAPPENS IN THE PROJECT AREA DUE TO A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS AND THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS IN THE AREA.

I KNOW WHEN TO TRY TO GO SOMEWHERE AND I KNOW WHEN I JUST NEED TO WAIT IT OUT, AND I'M NOT WILLING TO WAIT IT OUT IF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER AND WE NEED TO EVACUATE.

AND I'M SURE THAT MY NEIGHBORS WOULD ALL AGREE.

THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE THREE ROADS TO GET OUTTA THERE.

WE HAVE HAVEN, WE HAVE MILLIKEN, AND WE HAVE DAY CREEK.

AND NOW THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO ADD AN UNKNOWN, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN VEHICLES TO TRY TO ALL GET OUT AT THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE WE'RE ALL PANICKED, THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL BE SITTING DUCKS.

SAFETY SHOULD BE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, AND IT'D BE HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE WOULD MAKE A DECISION TO PASS AN AMENDMENT KNOWING THAT ALL OF OUR LIVES COULD BE IN DANGER.

I WAS AT THE PLANNING MEETING LAST WEEK WHERE THE DEVELOPER TOLD US THAT BASICALLY THEY NEED TO BUILD MORE HOMES BECAUSE THE PRICE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THEY WEREN'T GONNA MAKE ENOUGH MONEY SELLING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED ALREADY.

SO THEY WERE GOING TO JUSTIFY OR ADJUST THIS BY BUILDING MULTIPLE UNIT HOMES.

UM, SORRY, THE UNITS, UH, WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE AFFORDABLE, UH, THAN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

THE DEVELOPER ASKED US NOT TO HOLD 'EM TO THE NUMBER, BUT SUGGESTED THAT THE PRICES WOULD RANGE FROM SIX TO $700,000.

AS I'VE MENTIONED, I'VE LIVED TO DEER CREEK SINCE 2017.

WHEN I MOVED IN, MY HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE WAS $2,000 A YEAR.

UH,

[00:35:01]

IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME IN THE LAST WEEK'S MEETING HOW THESE MULTIPLE UNITS, PROPERTIES WERE GONNA BE SOLD, BUT THE COST OF THE INSURANCE WILL MOST DEFINITELY FALL ON THE BUYER OR THE RENTER.

THIS IS NOT AFFORDABLE TO MOST PEOPLE.

THIS DOES NOT SOLVE RANCHOS NEED TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AND ONE MORE THING, UM, SINCE MY INSURANCE IN 2017 WAS $2,000 AND IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A HIGH FIRE ZONE, BUT IN 2022, INSURANCE DECIDED THAT I AM IN A HIGH FIRE ZONE.

WHAT'S CHANGED? MAYBE A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY.

STUDY SHOULD BE DONE TO FIND OUT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEVELOPER IS ASKING TO PUT AN ADDITIONAL 300 OR 3000 HOMES IN A HIGH FIRE AREA.

I KNOW THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS WITH THE AMENDED PLAN, AND I HOPE OUR CITY STANDS BY THE PLAN THAT THEY'VE COME UP WITH WHILE WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY.

AND DON'T BEND TO THE DEVELOPERS DONE IN THE DARK AMENDMENT.

CHRIS.

LITTLE FOLLOWED BY NO EXCUSE ME, RON FOR COREY.

RON, CHRIS LITTLE'S NEXT.

I'M SORRY.

CHRIS.

UM, MR. MAYOR, UH, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, UH, MY NAME IS RON FCO.

I BEEN A RESIDENT HERE SINCE 1977, UM, BEEN HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME, GREW UP IN THE AREA AND AM A PRODUCT OF THE COMMUNITY.

UM, I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE, UH, AWANDA HEIGHTS, UH, SITUATION AS WELL.

UM, IN EARLY 2018, THE PUBLIC LEARNED OF A PLAN BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TO SELL COUNTY MANAGED FLOOD CONTROL PROPERTY FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT AT THE TIME, CITY LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING YOU, UH, MAYOR, UH, UH, DENNIS MICHAEL, UH, THE LATE CN SPAGNOLI AND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER LYNN KENNEDY.

UM, UM, YOU GUYS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS SITUATION BACK THEN, AND I MET WITH EACH OF YOU, UM, WITH A SMALL GROUP OF, UH, CITIZENS, UH, TO DISCUSS THE MATTER.

UM, WE, WE MOVED TO ANNEX THIS LAND STATING, UM, THAT THE PURPOSE WAS TO GIVE THE CITY GREATER CONTROL OVER HOW IT WOULD BE DEVELOPED OTHERWISE, THE COUNTY WOULD BASICALLY RUN AMUCK IN OUR BACKYARD WITHOUT ANY CONTROL.

AND, AND WE HAD A VERY DIRECT CONVERSATION IN REGARDS TO THAT, AND I AGREED WITH THE, THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY ON THIS WAS PROBABLY THE BEST ACTION TO TAKE.

HOWEVER, THE COUNTY HAS MADE A POSITION CLEAR THAT BEFORE ANY AGREEMENT TO THE ANNEXATION, IT WANTED TO REZONE THE AREA.

THEY WANTED TO REZONING BACK FROM A MAP FROM RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND THAT REZONING WOULD ALLOW ROUGHLY 3000 UNITS, GIVE OR TAKE, UH, NUMBERS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE THE COUNTY'S SALE PRICE AND RECOVER WHAT IT WANTED FINANCIALLY FROM THE LAND DEAL.

UH, THE ZONING BENEFITED ONLY THE COUNTY OWNED PARCEL.

IT WAS, UH, MAKING IT AND WAS MAKING IT MORE ATTRACTIVE AND VALUABLE FOR THE DEVELOPERS.

ONCE IT WAS PUT UP FOR SALE.

UH, RESIDENTS WERE UNDERSTANDABLY, UM, UPSET.

UH, IN RESPONSE, THE CITY APPEARED TO ENGAGE IN A GOOD FAITH EFFORT, EFFORT TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY WHILE STILL MEETING THE COUNTY'S DEMANDS.

AFTER MANY MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS, A COMPROMISE WAS REACHED.

RESIDENTS, UH, MADE REAL CONCESSIONS, INCLUDING ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT TO EXPAND BEYOND THE ORIGINAL MINING PIT FOOTPRINT.

UM, IN RETURN, THE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN, UM, DESIGNATED TO MAINTAIN SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND DENSITIES THAT WERE CONSISTENT WITH ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS, WHILE STILL ACHIEVING THE UNIT COUNT AND THE ECONOMICS THAT THE COUNTY WAS SEEKING.

THAT WAS THE DEAL.

UM, AFTER, UH, LAST WEEK'S MEETING, PLANNING, UM, MEETING APPROVAL, UH, WHAT WE ARE SEEING NOW FEELS LIKE A BAIT AND SWITCH.

UM, THE DEVELOPER PURCHASED THIS LAND WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXISTING ZONING AND APPROVED DENSITY, AND THEIR FINANCIAL MODELS WERE BUILT ON THOSE NUMBERS.

BELIEVE ME, THEY WEREN'T GONNA JUMP INTO SOMETHING THAT WAS GONNA BE UPSIDE DOWN ON THEM.

UM, ALL OF THIS SUDDEN TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS HONESTLY A SHAM.

UM, THIS DEVELOP, THIS IS ALL DEVELOPER LANGUAGE, NOT COMMUNITY REALITY.

THIS PROPOSAL IS ABOUT PROFITABILITY, NOT TRUE AFFORDABILITY OR QUALITY.

WHAT IS BEING OFFERED IS SUBSTANDARD HOUSING FOR THIS AREA SOLD AT TOP DOLLAR, TOP DOLLAR .

THANK YOU, MR. FCO.

YOUR THREE MINUTES IS UP.

EXPLICIT DENSITY LIMITS CONSERVATION COMMITMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE ASSUMPTIONS.

CHRIS LITTLE FOLLOWED BY CARL CLIFTON.

HI THERE.

I REPRESENT ABOUT, UH, 1,711 PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED THE CHANGE.ORG PETITION AGAINST THIS, UH, PROPOSED PLAN.

I ALSO REPRESENT 600 HOMEOWNERS LIVING IN RANCHO TWANDA ESTATES AND THE PEOPLE WHO PACKED THIS GALLERY DURING THE LAST WEEK'S, UH, PLANNING, COMMISSION MEETING, AND MANY OTHERS.

AND I HAVE THREE POINTS.

UH, WHEN TWANDA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2019, IT WAS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF PUBLIC INPUT, WHICH ESTABLISHED

[00:40:01]

UH, NOW WE'RE BEING TOLD THE CITY MUST APPROVE AN AMENDMENT OR RISK BEING SUED.

WE'RE BEING TOLD BUILDER'S REMEDY IS THE BOOGEYMAN UNDER THE BED.

LITIGATION RISK IS NOT THE SAME THING AS LEGAL OBLIGATION AND FEAR OFTEN LEADS TO THE, UH, MAKING OF UNWISE AND ILLOGICAL DECISIONS.

THE HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT ACTUALLY ALLOWS FOR DENIAL WHEN A PROPOSAL FAILS TO MEET OBJECTIVE STANDARDS.

AND THERE ARE MASSIVE UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THESE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN MET.

AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THEM SO FAR TONIGHT, AND THOSE QUESTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN ANSWERED WITH CLEAR FINDINGS AND UNTIL THEY ARE ANY APPROVAL IS PREMATURE AND LEGALLY RECKLESS.

NUMBER TWO, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT BEING USED IS SIX YEARS OLD.

IT'S SIX YEARS OLD SINCE IT WAS, UH, APPROVED.

NOW THIS AMENDMENT INTRODUCES SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES AND NEW INFORMATION THAT CREATE A SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, ONE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ANALYZED, SPECIFICALLY THE TRAFFIC BURDEN FROM 6,300 HOMES ABOVE WILSON AND BANYAN AVENUES.

YES, THERE WAS AN EARLIER ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, STUDY DONE.

UH, WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE NO PLANS TO WIDEN BANYAN, SO THAT'S A PROBLEM.

AND YOU CAN'T JUST DUMP THAT MUCH DENSITY INTO AN AREA WITHOUT A FRESH LOOK AT THE CONSEQUENCES.

POINT NUMBER THREE, I MENTIONED THAT FEAR OFTEN LEADS TO UNWISE AND ILLOGICAL DECISIONS.

PERHAPS FEAR IS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF WHY WAS THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION ONLY TOLD ABOUT THIS LATE IN THE GAME PLAN SIX DAYS BEFORE IT CAME UP FOR A VOTE IN THE COMMISSION.

THAT IS A DISSERVICE TO THE RESIDENTS, UH, DISSERVICE TO THE COMMISSION AND FRANKLY, A DISSERVICE TO YOU SITTING UP HERE IN FRONT OF ME.

UM, YOU GOTTA ASK YOURSELVES WHY THE RUSH YOUR OWN PLANNING COMMISSION IS UNHAPPY ABOUT THAT.

THEY MADE THE POINT TO TELL US THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WHEN WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, AND MANY PEOPLE STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT.

SO PLEASE DENY THIS REQUEST OR IN DUE DILIGENCE TABLE IT.

REENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY.

DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PROVIDE A TRANSPARENT WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF EVERY LAWFUL ACTION OPTION, I SHOULD SAY, INCLUDING DENIAL.

AND DENIAL SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE ISN'T DEFIANCE OF THE STATE LAW.

ITS RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE.

SO PLEASE EXPLORE EVERY LAWFUL OPTION BEFORE YOU PERMANENTLY CHANGE THIS COMMUNITY.

CARL CLIFTON, FOLLOWED BY ROBERT BANDHOLZ, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

UH, MY NAME'S CARL CLIFTON AND I'M A RESIDENT OF RANCHO TWANDA STATES.

I, UM, I'M HERE TO REGISTER MY OPPOSITION TO THE PREITY GROUP'S HIGH DENSITY AMENDMENT, UM, PRIMARILY ON THE GROUNDS OF, OF THE, THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND FIRE EVACUATION ROUTES THAT, UH, I THINK ARE OUR PROBLEM.

I WISH MANY OF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TO SEE HOW PACKED THIS HOUSE WAS.

IT IT WAS FULL, UH, STANDING ROOM ONLY.

AND, UH, AND, AND THOSE, ALL OF US WERE IN OPPOSITION, UH, TO THIS, UH, PLAN.

SO I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WHEN AT, UH, 1130 THAT NIGHT, THE, THE COMMISSION STILL NOT LISTENING TO ANYBODY IN THE ROOM HERE, WENT AHEAD AND PROPOSED THAT THE AMENDMENT GO FORWARD WITH A MINOR MODIFICATION OF, UH, 29 HOMES PER ACRE DOWN TO 20.

UM, I, I URGE YOU TO, UH, YOU KNOW, TO, UH, NOT, UH, WELL TO INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY AGAIN, UH, IN, IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING A LOOK AT THIS AND, AND IDEALLY COMING UP WITH A A BETTER PLAN.

WEST SIDE OF TOWN TO THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN ACROSS WILSON OR BANYAN WHEN THE HIGH SCHOOL'S GETTING OUT OR GOING IN THE MORNING, THE JUNIOR HIGH, THE HIGH, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ALL THE WAY ACROSS BANYAN, THERE'S NOT EVEN ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT A BIKE LANE IN THERE BECAUSE IT STOPS IN SEVERAL PA PARTS BECAUSE IT'S SO THIN.

ROBERT.

BEN HOLTZ, FOLLOWED BY, I BELIEVE IT'S ANGELICA ORTIZ CITY, YOU YOUR NAME, CITY COUNCIL.

UM, I'VE BEEN A MA UH, RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA SINCE 1986.

AND, UH, I AM OPPOSED TO THE TWANDA HEIGHTS PROJECT.

I DON'T LIVE IN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA OF RANCHO.

I LIVE IN, UH, THE AL LOMA SIDE, BUT I RIDE MY BICYCLE THROUGH THAT AREA ON A REGULAR BASIS.

AND I ENJOY OUR NEW SENSE OF A TRAIL THAT THEY PUT IN GORGEOUS TRAIL.

BUT I HAVE TO RIDE BY, I DO HILLSIDE TO WILSON, TO BANYAN ALL THE WAY ACROSS BANYAN TO FONTANA, RIALTO, AND THEN BACK AROUND.

AND IF I GO IN THE MORNINGS, YOU CANNOT GET PAST THE HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE OF ALL THE TRAFFIC.

NOW THEY PAINTED NEW BIKE LANES IN THERE AND IT SAYS NO STOPPING ALL AT ALL TIMES.

BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE.

'CAUSE I DARE ANYBODY TO GO FROM THE EAST, THE

[00:45:01]

UM, AS A RETIRED PUBLIC SERVICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU HAVE YOUR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS HERE AND WITH US THAT AS I DRIVE AROUND AND I'M RIDING MY BIKE, I'M THINKING ABOUT THINGS AND WE OBSERVE AND RUN SCENARIOS, RIGHT? PUBLIC SERVICE DOES, THAT'S WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES.

AND I LOOK AT HOW WOULD THEY DO A FIRE EVACUATION OUT OF THAT AREA.

THERE IS NO WAY, ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL WAS IN SESSION.

SO LET'S SAY IT'S 10 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, ALL THE SCHOOLS ARE FILLED, AND LIKE THAT TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE THE OTHER DAY OVER ON THE FREEWAY, AND WE HAVE 50 MILE AN HOUR WINDS.

WHAT DO WE DO? HOW DO YOU GET EVERYBODY OUT OF THERE? YOU CAN'T.

SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

YOU HAVE YOUR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS WHO COULD, AND FIRE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO TELL YOU GETTING 7,000 OR 6,000 HOMES EVACUATED OUT OF A TIGHT AREA IS GONNA BE VERY TOUGH.

SO SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

I WISH YOU'D, UH, RECONSIDER THIS.

ANGELICAL ORTIZ.

HELLO, MAYOR.

HELLO, UM, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS ANGEL ORTIZ, AND ALTHOUGH I WISH I HAD EVERYBODY ELSE'S ISSUES TODAY, MY ISSUE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

UM, I'VE HAD, UM, I'M SORRY, I'M JUST, I'VE HAD A LOT OF, UH, CONCERNS AND ISSUES WITH, UH, THE SCHOOL THAT MY DAUGHTER IS CURRENTLY ATTENDING.

SHE, AT THE TIME WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD, UM, ATTENDING CENTRAL ELEMENTARY, AND SHE WAS GETTING SEXUALLY HARASSED AT SCHOOL.

I REPORTED THIS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT, DR. AMY NEWMAN HERNANDEZ.

I REPORTED IT TO HER ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT, DEBRA FRENCH.

UM, I REPORTED IT TO ALL FIVE BOARD MEMBERS AND THEY DID NOTHING.

I REPORTED IT TO HER TEACHER, I REPORTED IT TO THE PRINCIPAL, AND NOTHING WAS DONE FOR MONTHS.

FOR MONTHS, MY DAUGHTER WAS GETTING SEXUALLY HARASSED.

UM, I FINALLY CONTACTED, I CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE OFFICER THAT HE WAS GO DOWN, GONNA GO DOWN TO THE SCHOOL AND SPEAK TO THE PRINCIPAL.

HE DID.

AND THE PRINCIPAL STATED THAT SHE WAS GONNA TAKE CARE OF IT.

NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

UM, THE HARASSMENT JUST CONTINUED TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PUT MY DAUGHTER IN THERAPY.

UM, SHE THANK GOODNESS I TAKE HER TO A GOOD CHURCH.

THANK GOODNESS SHE HAS A GREAT PASTOR AT HILLSIDE.

THANK GOODNESS THAT SHE HAS A GREAT SUPPORT TEAM.

I HAD TO CONSIDER MY RECONSIDER MY WHOLE LIFE.

I WAS TOLD BY THE SCHOOL THAT I SHOULD MOVE OR CONSTANTLY OR, UM, THINK ABOUT MOVING HER SCHOOLS EVEN THOUGH SHE WASN'T THE AGGRESSOR AT THE TIME.

AS I MENTIONED, MY DAUGHTER WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD.

I I CAN'T EVEN WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT NOW.

I'M STILL DEALING WITH THE HARASSMENT.

UM, THE CHILD'S FATHER WAS AT SCHOOL THE OTHER DAY AND HE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE GATE STARING AT MY DAUGHTER.

I HAVE BEEN AROUND THIS FAMILY.

I'VE NEVER ONCE APPROACHED THEM.

I'VE NEVER ONCE HAVE EVER SAID ANYTHING TO THEM.

I'VE LET THE SCHOOL TRY TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT THEY'VE NEVER DEALT WITH IT.

THEY'VE MADE ME LOOK LIKE I'M THIS HORRIBLE PERSON AND I'M ERRATIC AND I'M NOT.

ALL I'VE EVER WANTED THEM TO DO WAS TO TAKE PROPER MEASURES AND GIVE THE OTHER STUDENT THE PROPER CONSEQUENCES THAT SHE DESERVES BECAUSE HARASSMENT'S HARASSMENT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY THINK HARASSMENT IS.

SHE DID THIS FOR MONTHS TO MY DAUGHTER AND NOBODY TILL THIS DAY HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

ANYTHING.

AND HERE, I HAVE TO SIT HERE.

I SHOULD BE AT HOME DOING HOMEWORK WITH MY KIDS RIGHT NOW.

AND I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT YOU GUYS GAVE ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

BUT NOBODY, NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING TILL THIS DAY.

GONNA BE ACTED UPON AT ONE TIME WITHOUT ANY CONTR, ANY COMMENTS OR CON UH, CONSIDERATION UNLESS SOME COUNCIL MEMBER OR ANY COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD

WE'LL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

OKAY? THAT IS ALL THE SPEAKERS I HAVE UNDER PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS EVENING.

SO WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE BUSINESS PORTION OF THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

UM, CONSENT CALENDARS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ROUTINE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THEY'RE

[00:50:01]

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

LIKE TO REMOVE THE ITEM FOR SUCH DISCUSSION.

MR. MAYOR, I NEED TO ABSTAIN FROM ITEM D THREE DUE TO POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT ABSTENTION IS NOTED.

SO I'D HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS EVENING'S CONSENT CALENDAR.

SO MOVE SECOND, PLEASE VOTE.

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

WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM THIS EVENING.

AND THAT IS A REVIEW OF MINOR USE PERMIT DRC 2023 DASH 0 0 2 5 7 HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY.

THE REVIEW DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A REVOCATION HEARING UNDER THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA DEVELOPMENT

[CONSENT CALENDAR ORDINANCE(S) - SECOND READING/ADOPTION]

CODE SECTION

[ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S)]

[F1. Review of Minor Use Permit DRC2023-00257 – Hamilton Family Brewery. This Review Does Not Constitute a Revocation Hearing under Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Section 17.14.110. (CITY)]

POINT 14.110.

LIKE TO ASK OUR CITY MANAGER, ALYSSA, TURN THIS OVER TO YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

UM, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM RESIDENTS AROUND THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY COMING TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR, UM, SHARING THEIR CONCERNS WITH THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS.

UM, AFTER THE FIRST TIME WE HEARD FROM THE RESIDENTS, WE STARTED LOOKING INTO THE COMPLAINTS, UM, AND WE HAVE CONTINUED TO LOOK INTO AND INVESTIGATE WHAT WE HAVE HEARD THROUGH PUBLIC COMMENTS.

UM, TONIGHT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MATT MARQUEZ, WILL REPORT TO YOU, UH, ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION AND OUR FINDINGS.

PLACE IN LATE SEPTEMBER, SO SIX MONTHS THEREAFTER IS, IS MARCH.

MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THERE.

THERE WE GO.

UH, AS THE CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, WE'RE HERE TODAY IN RESPONSE TO SOME CONCERNS RAISED BY RESIDENTS, UH, RELATED TO ITEMS SUCH AS NOISE, PARKING, AND TRAFFIC, UM, AND DIRECTION FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE THESE CONCERNS AND THEN REPORT BACK TO YOU.

TONIGHT'S ITEM WILL SERVE AS THAT UPDATE TO COUNCIL ON STAFF'S EFFORTS TO INVESTIGATE THESE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED.

COUNCIL IS NOT BEING ASKED TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS RELATED TO THE BREWERY USE THIS EVENING, NOR AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, IS THIS A REVOCATION HEARING? UH, WE'RE NOT HERE TO NECESSARILY REVISIT THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL, UH, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE HERE TO PROVIDE COUNSEL WITH AN UPDATE ON SOME OF THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK THAT STAFF, UH, HAS BEEN DOING.

SO AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, COUNCIL CAN RECEIVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC AND THEN COUNCIL CAN PROVIDE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK TO STAFF.

A BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

THE MINOR USE PERMIT FOR HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY WAS APPROVED IN JANUARY OF 2024.

THE IMP IMPROVE THE APPROVAL INCLUDES THE USE OF THE SITE AS A BREWERY WITH BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS.

THE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED CALLS FOR 59 PARKING SPACES, UH, AS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE BUSINESS USE.

AND CURRENTLY THE BUSINESS IS PROVIDING, UH, 63 SPACES.

THE APPROVED HOURS OF OPERATION PERMIT THE BUSINESS TO BE OPEN SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY FROM 12:00 PM TO 10:00 PM AND THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY FROM 12:00 PM TO, UH, 12:00 AM I WILL NOTE THAT THERE IS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT DOES ALLOW FOR THE BUSINESS OWNER TO REQUEST FOR HOURS TO BE, UH, EXTENDED AFTER SIX MONTHS OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

AND THAT REQUEST COULD BE SUBMITTED TO ALLOW FOR THE BUSINESS TO BE O OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK FROM 12:00 PM TO 10:00 AM UH, EXCUSE ME, 12:00 PM TO 12:00 AM.

BUT, UM, SIMPLY THE SUBMITTAL OR THE REQUEST DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE APPROVAL FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL OR EXTENDED HOURS.

STAFF WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW THAT AND RULE ON THAT ACCORDINGLY.

AS PART OF THE MINOR USE PERMIT APPROVAL, 2,506 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR SPACE WAS APPROVED FOR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

AND THE, UH, CITY'S APPROVAL INCLUDES SEVERAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ONE KNOWN AS PLANNING APPROVAL NUMBER OR PLANNING CONDITION.

EXCUSE ME.

NUMBER 19.

THAT REQUIRES REVIEW OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS BY THE PLANNING DIRECTOR AT THE COMPLETION OF BOTH SIX AND 12 MONTHS OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

AND THEN THESE REVIEWS WILL INCLUDE CONSULTING WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT REGARDING CALLS FOR SERVICE DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS SUCH AS COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT, UH, BUILDING AND SAFETY ENGINEERING.

THIS CONDITION, HOWEVER, DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE CITY FROM AT ANY TIME ENFORCING OR INVESTIGATING VIOLATIONS OR POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF ANY STANDARDS OUTLINED IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE OR INVESTIGATING ANY POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF ANY CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

UM, STAFF'S WORK DISCUSSED IN OUR STAFF REPORT AND THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION WILL CONTINUE, UH, TO INFORM THOSE SIX AND 12 MONTHS, SIX AND 12 MONTH REVIEWS.

AND THE, UH, FIRST REVIEW, THE INITIAL SIX MONTH REVIEW, UH, WILL COME TOWARDS THE END OF MARCH.

THE GRAND OPENING FOR THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY TOOK

[00:55:01]

SO GETTING INTO THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK THAT THAT STAFF HAS DONE, UH, STAFF UNDERTOOK ACTIONS, UH, SUCH AS CONDUCTING INITIAL NOISE TESTING IN THE AREA, REVIEWING SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, UH, CALLS FOR SERVICE AND SHERIFF STAFF CONDUCTING SOME UNDERCOVER OPERATIONS AT THE BREWERY.

ENGINEERING STAFF ALSO ANALYZED THE AREA TO DETERMINE IF STOP, IF A STOP SIGN WAS WARRANTED AT MAIN STREET AND REED, AND THEY COLLECTED RELATED TRAFFIC COUNTS AS WELL.

UH, STAFF CORRESPONDED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL AND OBSERVED A, UH, A RECENT, UH, PROTEST HEARING OF HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY'S, UH, A BC, UH, LICENSE, AND I'LL GET INTO THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.

STAFF ALSO VISITED, UH, THE LOCATION AND CONDUCTED A, UH, VISUAL INSPECTION.

SO BESIDES THE CITY APPROVAL TO OPERATE, UH, HAMILTON'S ALSO NEEDS APPROVAL FROM A, B, C, AS I MENTIONED.

SO HAMILTON IS CURRENTLY OPERATING UNDER AN INTERIM OPERATING PERMIT THROUGH A BC, AND HAMILTON'S LICENSE APPLICATION FOR THE NEW LOCATION WAS APPEALED BY A GROUP OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

SO A BC ISSUED THE INTERIM OPERATING PERMIT.

UH, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DO SO EVEN IF A PROTEST, UH, IS UNDERWAY, AS LONG AS THEY BELIEVE THAT THE LICENSE SHOULD ULTIMATELY BE PERMITTED.

UH, PROTESTERS ARE PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A PROTEST HEARING WHERE THEY CAN PROVIDE EVIDENCE, PRESENT THEIR CASE, AND OF COURSE, QUESTION ANY WITNESSES.

UH, THAT PARTICULAR PROTEST HEARING WAS HELD ON DECEMBER 10TH, UM, AND IT LASTED ROUGHLY FIVE HOURS.

AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE HEARING, THE JUDGE ANNOUNCED THAT HE NEEDS, UH, TO PROVIDE HIS DECISION TO A B, C WITHIN 30 DAYS.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A DECISION, UH, YET.

HIS DECISION IS THEN REVIEWED INTERNALLY AND HE ANTICIPATES, UH, A FINAL DECISION BEING POSTED, IF YOU WILL, IN A MONTH AND A HALF TO TWO MONTHS.

UH, I WILL ALSO SAY THAT HIS DECISION COULD ALSO BE APPEALED, SO WE COULD BE SEVERAL MONTHS AWAY FROM KNOWING WHAT ABC'S FINAL DECISION IS ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

ALSO, THERE WERE ROUGHLY 80 PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT WERE PROVIDED AS PART OF THIS PROTEST HEARING.

SEVERAL, UH, WERE IMAGES AND VIDEOS THAT WERE PRESENTED.

NOT ALL 80 WERE REVIEWED, BUT ROUGHLY 80 WERE, WERE PRESENTED.

UM, AS I MENTIONED, WE WERE ABLE TO TUNE INTO THIS HEARING.

IT WAS HELD VIRTUALLY OVER ZOOM, AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THIS EVIDENCE.

BUT AGAIN, NOT ALL 80 PIECES WERE PRESENTED.

UM, MUCH OF IT WAS, UH, OR INCLUDED ITEMS THAT WE WERE SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

UM, THE, SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE PROVIDED IMAGES IN A COUPLE OF VIDEOS, WHICH YOU RECEIVED PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.

UH, BUT WHAT WE SAW DURING THAT HEARING, UH, WERE THINGS THAT AT LEAST I, YOU KNOW, WASN'T ABLE TO SEE PREVIOUSLY.

WE JUST HAVE, HADN'T HAD THOSE SUBMITTED TO US.

UM, WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH OF THAT INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE FROM A, B, C THROUGH A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST OR WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO GET AS MUCH OF THAT INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE.

SO WE'LL HAVE THAT, UH, TO REVIEW.

SO GETTING INTO, UH, PARKING AND TRAFFIC, THE ENGINEERING TEAM, UH, INCLUDED CORRESPONDING, OR THE WORK THAT THEY DID INCLUDED CORRESPONDING WITH, UH, ONE OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE AREA.

UM, THEY COMMUNICATED WITH THAT RESIDENT ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS RELATED TO TRAFFIC SPEEDING, PARKING, UH, AND ENFORCEMENT AND ENGINEERING ALSO PROVIDED THAT COMMUNITY MEMBER WITH INFORMATION RELATED TO FORMING A PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT MAIN STREET AND OTHER STREETS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE BREWERY USE ARE PUBLIC STREETS.

UM, THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS NO PARKING, INCLUDING THE AREA ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET DIRECTLY TO THE EAST OF THE BREWERY USE.

UM, STAFF DID FIND THAT SOME OF THE EXISTING SIGNAGE IN THE AREA WAS IN DISREPAIR AND INCOMPLETE.

SO IN RESPONSE, THEY WORKED TO REPLACE SOME FADED SIGNS AT THE FAR EAST OF MAIN STREET AT THE END OF THE CUL-DE-SAC AND INSTALL ONE ADDITIONAL NO PARKING SIGN ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET.

THERE WAS ALSO A STOP SIGN ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY THE ENGINEERING TEAM TO DETERMINE IF A STOP SIGN WAS WARRANTED AT MAIN STREET AND REED.

UH, THE INSTALLATION OF A, OF AN ALWAYS STOP SIGN, UH, DOES REQUIRE CERTAIN WARRANTS TO BE MET, UH, PURSUANT TO A CALIFORNIA MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, UM, THESE WARRANTS INCLUDE THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES PER HOUR THAT GOES FOR A PARTICULAR AREA AS WELL AS REPORTED COLLISIONS WITHIN A 12 MONTH PERIOD.

UH, TRAFFIC COUNTS WERE ALSO TAKEN, UH, IN OCTOBER, AND THE HIGHEST TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES ENTERING, UH, THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION DURING A ONE HOUR PERIOD WAS 66.

AND THE WARRANTS REQUIRE AN AVERAGE OF 300 VEHICLES, UH, PER HOUR FOR ANY EIGHT HOUR, UH, PERIOD ON AN AVERAGE DAY.

[01:00:01]

UM, ONE OF THE OTHER, UH, WARRANTS, IF YOU WILL, IS RELATED TO THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC COLLISIONS REPORTED WITHIN A 12 MONTH PERIOD.

AND, UH, THAT NUMBER IS FIVE AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN MORE THAN FIVE, UH, THAT WERE REPORTED WITHIN A 12 MONTH.

UH, UM, THE RECORDED DATA, UH, THAT WAS DEVELOPED OR THAT WAS OBTAINED THROUGH, THROUGH THE WORK THAT ENGINEERING, UH, DID, DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR DOES NOT LEAD THEM TO RECOMMEND THE INSTALLATION OF A STOP SIGN AT MAIN AND REED, UM, NOR ANY OTHER TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, AS TALKED ABOUT IN THE STAFF REPORT.

WE'VE WORKED WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UM, TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR LOG OF CALLS FOR SERVICE.

UM, AT THE TIME OF THE WRITING OF THE REPORT, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAD RECEIVED 16 CALLS REGARDING ALLEGED PARKING VIOLATIONS.

TWO OF THOSE RESULTED IN MULTIPLE CITATIONS BEING ISSUED FOR PARKING IN A NO PARKING ZONE.

ONE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO BE PARKED IN FRONT OF A FIRE HYDRANT, AND THEN ONE VEHICLE WAS TAGGED WITH A NOTICE RELATED TO, UH, POTENTIAL 72 HOUR PARKING VIOLATION.

UH, TWO VEHICLES WERE ALSO FOUND TO BE, TO BE BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS.

UM, TALKED ABOUT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CONDITIONS FOR THIS MINOR USE PERMIT, ONE OF WHICH IS PLANNING CONDITION NUMBER 23.

THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE CREATION OF A PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND HAMILTON'S BREWERY.

IF A PARKING ISSUE IS CREATED BY, UH, THE BUSINESS, THE COST FOR THE CREATING THE DISTRICT WOULD BE PAID FOR, UH, BY THE BUSINESS OWNER.

IF A PARKING ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN CREATED AND THE RESIDENTS STILL WOULD LIKE TO ESTABLISH A PARKING DISTRICT, THEN THE COST WOULD BE OF COURSE ON THEM.

UH, REQUEST FOR THE CREATION OF A PARKING DISTRICT WOULD REQUIRE SUBMITTAL OF A PETITION THAT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED BY AT LEAST 75% OF THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF A PROPOSED DISTRICT.

AND THOSE REQUESTS ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWED BY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AND THEN CERTAIN FINDINGS NEED TO BE MADE.

AND ULTIMATELY, THOSE ARE BROUGHT FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

UM, AS MENTIONED, STAFF PROVIDED, UH, AT LEAST ONE COMMUNITY MEMBER WITH INFORMATION ON, ON HOW TO DEVELOP OR HOW TO MOVE, HOW TO MOVE TOWARDS CREATING A PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT.

AND AS OF, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR STAFF REPORT, THERE'S BEEN NO SUBMITTAL, UH, FROM ANY OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

WITH RESPECT TO A PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT, UH, NOY WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS RAISED.

UH, WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATIONS AT, UH, THE BREWERY LOCATION, UH, STAFF DID TAKE SOME INITIAL NOISE READINGS TO DETERMINE WHETHER VIOLATIONS DID EXIST.

UM, THE NOISE READINGS WERE TAKEN FROM, UH, THE AREA IMMEDIATELY ACROSS MAIN STREET FROM THE BREWERY.

AND, UH, THOSE, THOSE NOISE READINGS DID NOT SHOW THAT THERE WAS, UH, ANY ISSUE, UH, WHEN THOSE NOISE READINGS WERE BEING TAKEN.

ALSO, SOME INITIAL READINGS WERE TAKEN FROM THE PARKING LOT IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF THE BREWERY, AND THOSE ALSO DID NOT PROVIDE READINGS THAT EXCEEDED, UH, ANY NOISE STANDARDS.

IN TOTAL BELIEVE THERE WERE AT LEAST 15 READINGS TAKEN AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE READINGS, UH, ON THE SAME DAY.

UH, BUT WE LOOK TO CONTINUE TO, TO, UH, CONDUCT ADDITIONAL READINGS AS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

UM, ADDITIONALLY, AS SHOWN IN THE CALLS FOR SERVICE SECTION IN THE STAFF REPORT AND THE TABLE THAT WAS PROVIDED, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT RECEIVED SIX NOISE RELATED COMPLAINTS AND TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATED TO ALLEGED MUSIC DISTURBANCES.

UH, THESE COMPLAINTS WERE INVESTIGATED, BUT DIDN'T WARRANT ANY CITATIONS OR FURTHER ACTION FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

SHERIFF'S ALSO RESPONDED TO THREE CALLS RELATED TO ALARM NOISE CALLS WERE IN RESPONSE TO REPORTS THAT THE BREWERY'S ALARM SYSTEM, FOR EXAMPLE, WAS GOING OFF REPEATEDLY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, AND THAT INCLUDED SOME VOICE ALERTS.

SO WE DID COMMUNICATE WITH THE BUSINESS OWNER.

UH, HE DID WORK WITH THE ALARM COMPANY TO RECALIBRATE THE ALARM'S SENSITIVITY TO HELP REDUCE, UH, THE NUMBER OF TIME THE ALARM GOES OFF.

UM, SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S LED TO, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME ADDITIONAL PIECE, I GUESS IN THE AREA WITH RESPECT TO THE ALARM.

AS MENTIONED, THE MINOR USE PERMIT APPROVAL GRANTED 2,506 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE TO BE USED, UH, FOR OUTDOOR SEATING.

UM, IN EARLY DECEMBER, STAFF DID VISIT THE SITE, CONDUCTED, UH, AN INSPECTION, AND SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE A GREATER AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE BEING USED FOR OUTDOOR SPACE.

SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE APPROVED PLAN, UH, THAT WAS PERMITTED AS PART OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE BREWERY USE.

SO WE CAME BACK, REVIEWED THE APPROVED PLANS, AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS INDEED MORE SPACE, UH, BEING USED FOR OUTDOOR SEATING AREA.

AND SO THE ADDITIONAL SPACE THAT WAS BEING USED, YOU

[01:05:01]

COULD SEE MY CURSOR ON THE SCREEN HERE, WAS BASICALLY IN, IN THIS AREA HERE, SOME ADDITIONAL SEATING IN THIS AREA HERE.

SO AS YOU, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, INCREASES IN THE AMOUNT OF SPACE BEING USED, GENERALLY LEADS TO MORE PARKING NEEDED, AND THEN COULD INCREASE AN OCCUPANT LOAD AS WELL.

SO, RECOGNIZING THAT, UM, THE BREWERY USE WAS EXPANDING OR HAD EXPANDED THAT AREA AND USING MORE THAN WHAT WAS APPROVED, WE FOLLOWED BASICALLY OUR, OUR STANDARD OPERATING, UH, PROCEDURES.

GOT WITH OUR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DEPARTMENT, OPENED A CASE, UH, ISSUED A COMPLIANCE ORDER, AND THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH THE NECESSARY INSPECTION.

IN BETWEEN THAT, WE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THE BUSINESS OWNER AS WELL, UM, ABOUT COMPLIANCE AND, AND, UM, DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE.

ULTIMATELY, THE, UH, THE INSPECTION THAT THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT TEAM DID AS A FOLLOW-UP, UH, DID SHOW THAT THE BUSINESS OWNER MADE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO BE IN COMPLIANCE, UH, WITH THE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED.

SO THERE WERE NO CITATIONS OR NO ADDITIONAL ACTION THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN.

UM, UNDERSTANDING THAT, THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF STAFF.

ANTICIPATES DOING SO IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

RANDOM INSPECTIONS AT RANDOM TIMES OF THE DAY BY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

UM, I MENTIONED THE SIX AND 12 MONTHS, 12 MONTH REVIEWS THAT ARE REQUIRED PER THE MINOR USE PERMIT APPROVAL.

SO WE INTEND TO, TO LOOK AT THAT AT THAT TIME AS WELL.

UH, THERE'S ALSO A CURRENT PLAN THAT, THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED, AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS REVIEWING IT NOW FOR SOME CHANGES TO EGRESS.

IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN, UH, MEMORIALIZE SOMETHING, UH, PERMANENT ON THAT PLAN, WE WILL DO SO.

IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DO IT THERE, THEN WE WILL AGAIN LOOK TO A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION AS PART OF THE SIX, UH, MONTH REVIEW.

SO, NEXT STEPS.

UM, AGAIN, THE SIX AND 12 MONTH REVIEW ARE CERTAINLY PART OF THOSE NEXT STEPS.

AND LEADING UP TO THAT, WE'LL CONTINUE TO REVIEW CONCERNS RAISED BY RESIDENTS COLLECT RELATED DATA.

UH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UM, AND THEY'LL CONTINUE TO RESPOND, UH, AND INVESTIGATE ANY SORT OF CALLS FOR SERVICE.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO CONDUCT SITE VISITS AS PART OF OUR REVIEW OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

UH, WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN TO ACCEPTING COPIES OF VIDEO, UH, ANY SORT OF AUDIO FILES OR IMAGES RELATED TO COMMUNITY CONCERNS.

UH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT TEAM TO TO WORK ON ADDITIONAL NOISE TESTING, AND THEN WORK WITH, UH, A BC TO OBTAIN ANY SORT OF EVIDENCE OR RECORDS THAT WERE PROVIDED AS PART OF THE PROTEST HEARING FOR, UH, THE BREWERY'S BUSINESS LICENSE.

AND THEN REALLY DO WHATEVER ELSE WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT BUSINESS OPERATIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR THE EVENING.

AS MENTIONED, COUNSEL CAN OPEN UP THE FLOOR TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, AS WELL AS PROVIDE FEEDBACK, UH, TO STAFF.

HEATHER POLK, FOLLOWED BY JOSHUA HAMILTON.

ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. MARQUEZ BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? I'LL HOLD MINE.

SEEING NONE.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN ON THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY REVIEW.

WE HAVE 18 SPEAKERS.

UM, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU, BUT IF IT, IF, IF A LOT OF REPETITION, IF YOU JUST RAISE YOUR HAND, YOU AGREE WITH WHAT SOMEBODY'S SAYING, WE DON'T, WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS GO.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS HEATHER POLK AND I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THE CHAMBER REPRESENTS NEARLY 500 BUSINESSES ACROSS RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND THE SURROUNDING AREA, RANGING FROM HOME-BASED BUSINESSES TO LEGACY EMPLOYERS.

OUR ROLE IS TO SUPPORT BUSINESSES ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONSIBLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND HELP ENSURE THAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA REMAINS A THRIVING AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY.

I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO SPEAK ON IN SUPPORT OF HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY, LOCATED AT 8 8 8 9 ARCHIBALD AVENUE.

I'VE KNOWN MR. AND MRS. HAMILTON FOR SEVERAL YEARS THROUGH THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER.

AND I WANNA SPEAK FIRST TO THEIR CHARACTER.

THEY, HAMILTONS ARE DEEPLY INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY.

THEY ROUTINELY OPEN THEIR DOORS TO SUPPORT CHARITABLE CAUSES, INCLUDING FUNDRAISERS FOR WILDFIRE RELIEF, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND MOST RECENTLY, A TOY DRIVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTHTOWN COMMUNITY CENTER.

THESE ARE NOT SYMBOLIC GESTURES.

THEY ARE A CONSISTENT WITH THEIR ACTIONS THAT REFLECT WHO THEY ARE.

THE HAMILTONS HAVE ALSO DEMONSTRATED AN EXTRAORDINARY LEVEL OF COMMITMENT TO THEIR BUSINESS.

THEY TOOK A SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL RISK IN SELLING THEIR HOME AND

[01:10:01]

EVERYTHING IN IT TO, TO PURSUE THEIR DREAM OF OPENING A FAMILY OWNED BREWERY HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

WHEN THEY OUTGREW THEIR ORIGINAL LOCATION, THEY MADE DELIBERATE DECISION TO STAY IN RANCHO.

THEY INVESTED A LONG, UH, LONG VACANT BUILDING, COMPLETED THE REQUIRED PERMITTING PROCESS, AND REHABILITATED THAT PROPERTY, BRINGING NEW LIFE ACTIVITY AND PRIDE TO THE SPACE RIGHT NEXT TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT HAD, UH, SET UNOCCUPIED.

FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY HAS BECOME A TRUE COMMUNITY GATHERING PLACE.

IT IS A COM IT IS COMMON TO SEE FAMILIES, NEIGHBORS, AND PEOPLE FROM MANY BACKGROUNDS SPENDING TIME TOGETHER.

THERE.

THE HAMILTONS ARE OFTEN PRESENT THEMSELVES WELCOMING GUESTS, REINFORCING THE SENSE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A BUSINESS.

IT HAS BECOME A PART OF THE FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY.

WITH NEARLY 700 GOOGLE REVIEWS AND AN AVERAGE RATING OF 4.5 STARS, IT'S CLEAR THAT THE BROADER COMMUNITY VALUES WHAT THEY BUILT.

SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, WE'RE PROUD OF HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY GROWTH, THEIR ADHERENCE TO THE CITY'S PROCESS, AND THEIR ONGOING COMMITMENT TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

BEFORE THEY OPENED, THEY DID EVERYTHING REQUIRED, UH, OF THEM.

THEY FOLLOWED THE RULES, THEY INVESTED LOCALLY.

WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT CITY COUNCIL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES LIKE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY.

BUSINESSES THAT ACT IN GOOD FAITH, CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY, AND HELP MAKE RANCHO CUCAMONGA A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES, ENTREPRENEURS, AND FAMILIES CAN THRIVE TOGETHER.

JOSHUA HAMILTON, FOLLOWED BY KRISTEN HAMILTON.

MY NAME'S JOSH HAMILTON, AND MY WIFE AND I ARE THE OWNERS OF HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT, AND I'M HERE TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION THAT DID NOT ARISE OVERNIGHT.

WHAT'S BEEN ONGOING STRUGGLE FOR MY WIFE, MYSELF, AND OUR TEAM.

UH, WHEN OUR BREWERY OUTGREW OUR ORIGINAL LOCATION, UH, IT WAS CLEAR THAT WE NEEDED TO FIND A NEW PLACE, AND WE WANTED TO STAY IN OUR HOMETOWN OF RANCH CUCAMONGA.

AND THAT'S WHEN HE ENTER INTO THE OLD OWEN ELECTRIC BUILDING ON ARCHIBALD.

AND, UH, IT WAS A LONG ESCROW PROCESS, HARD TO OBTAIN FUNDING, AND IT WAS A LONG, WINDY ROAD.

BUT, UM, AS SOON AS WE GOT THE KEYS TO THAT BUILDING, THAT'S WHEN WE GOT NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A PETITION STARTED BY SOME NEARBY NEIGHBORS TO KEEP US FROM MOVING OUR BUSINESS INTO OUR PROPERTY.

AND THIS WAS TWO YEARS AGO.

AND SO MY WIFE AND I TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES TO TRY AND MEET WITH THEM, OFFERED THEM TO COME TO THE BREWERY, HAVE DINNER ON US, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CONCERNS, SEE IF WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AS NEIGHBORS.

UH, THAT WAS REJECTED.

THEY WANTED TO HAVE A MEETING AT CITY HALL, AND THEY WANTED IT TO BE THREE MONTHS LATER FROM WHEN THEY, WE FIRST REACHED OUT.

UM, SO AT GREAT PERSONAL COST, MY WIFE AND I STOPPED THE PROJECT FOR THREE MONTHS SO WE CAN MEET WITH THEM FIRST.

AND WE SPENT ABOUT $75,000 IN CONSTRUCTION DELAYS AND INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THE LOAN SO THAT WE COULD FIRST MEET WITH OUR NEIGHBORS.

UM, ULTIMATELY THE CITY APPROVED OUR MUP AND WE BEGAN BUILDING, AND THEN WE APPLIED FOR OUR A B, C LICENSE IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, ONCE CONSTRUCTION STARTED.

AND THEY PROTESTED THAT AS WELL.

AND THEY TOOK A 30 DAY PROCESS AND TURNED IT INTO A SIX MONTH DELAY, UH, THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH.

UM, AND PRIOR TO OUR GRAND OPENING, WE HOSTED A LIMITED FRIENDS AND FAMILY TRAINING NIGHT.

A COMMON PRACTICE INTENDED TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON OPENING WEEKEND.

DURING THAT EVENT, MOST GUESTS PARKED IN OUR LOT AND SOME PARKED LEGALLY ALONG MAIN STREET THAT MARKED, MARKED THAT NIGHT MARKED THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HOW FAR SOME RESIDENTS WERE WILLING TO GO TO PREVENT US FROM PEACEFULLY OPERATING OUR BUSINESS GUESTS INFORMED OUR SECURITY THAT PEOPLE WERE STANDING IN THE ROADWAY, YELLING AT THEM FOR PARKING.

THIS ESCALATED INTO RESIDENTS SITTING IN CHAIRS ON THEIR DRIVEWAYS AND HARASSING EVERYONE WALKING TOWARDS THE BREWERY.

WHEN THE NATURE OF THOSE VERBAL CONFRONTATIONS ESCALATED, OUR SECURITY CONTACTED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO KEEP THE PEACE.

AND THAT TYPE OF HARASSMENT HAS CONTINUED TO THIS DAY.

MY TEAM HAS RECEIVED THREATS BY PHONE, ONLINE, AND IN PERSON, AND IN RESPONSE, WE DIDN'T RETREAT.

WE INVESTED SINCE OPENING.

WE SPENT OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON PARKING MITIGATION EFFORTS.

WE SECURED OVER 300 PARKING SPOTS AT AN OFFSITE SATELLITE LOT.

WE HIRED SHUTTLE SERVICES, CUSTOM SIGNAGE, EXTRA SECURITY, AND WE HIRED STAFF DEDICATED SOLELY TO DIRECTING CUSTOMERS AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

AND THESE EFFORTS, A GENUINE COMMITMENT TO BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS.

THE PROBLEM WE FACE NOW IS NO LONGER LOGISTIC OR FINANCIALS.

CUSTOMERS CONTINUE TO LAWFULLY PARK ON A PUBLIC STREET, EVEN THOUGH WE CONSISTENTLY DISCOURAGE IT OUTTA

[01:15:01]

RESPECT FOR OUR NEIGHBORS.

MR. HAMILTON, I'M SORRY, BUT YOU'VE REACHED YOUR THREE MINUTES, BUT I'M, I I'M GOING TO, UM, UM, ALLOW YOU TO COME BACK AFTER PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE CONCLUDED TO, TO RESPOND TO ANY OF THOSE, ANY OF THE COMMENTS.

KRISTEN HAMILTON, FOLLOWED BY LIONEL SANDHILL, I BELIEVE.

THEIR OPERATION IS OUTSTANDING.

MY NAME IS KRISTEN HAMILTON.

I'M A RANCH CUCAMONGA RESIDENT, A HOMESCHOOL MOM OF THREE, AND CO-OWNER OF OUR LOCAL BREWERY WITH MY HUSBAND JOSH.

I'VE STAYED MOSTLY SILENT DURING THIS PROCESS, BUT I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY TO, TO HEAR NOT JUST COMPLAINTS ABOUT US, BUT THE IMPACT ON US.

MY FAMILY COMES FROM HARDWORKING ROOTS.

MY GRANDMOTHER LEFT SCHOOL IN THIRD GRADE TO WORK IN THE FIELDS.

MY DAD GREW UP IN THIS SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND TAUGHT ME THAT IF YOU DON'T WORK, YOU DON'T EAT.

THAT WORK ETHIC IS WHAT MY HUSBAND AND I POURED INTO THIS BUSINESS.

WE BUILT IT FROM THE GROUND UP, AND WE'RE SO PROUD TO CONTINUE RAISING OUR FAMILY RIGHT HERE IN RANCHO, WHERE BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY HAVE DEEP ROOTS AND WHERE MY GRANDPARENTS STARTED THEIR LIVES.

OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE SPENT SIGNIFICANT TIME, MONEY, AND ENERGY TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE THE CONCERNS RAISED BY THESE NEIGHBORS.

MANY OF THOSE EFFORTS WERE DECLINED OR MET WITHOUT A WILLINGNESS TO COLLABORATE.

SINCE THE SUMMER WHEN WE WERE FINALLY CLEARED TO MOVE FORWARD, WE WORKED AT AN INTENSE PACE TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION, OFTEN LATE INTO THE NIGHT FOR MONTHS AT A TIME.

BECAUSE OF REPEATED DELAYS, OUR ORIGINAL BUDGET WAS EXHAUSTED, AND WE PERSONALLY CARRIED THE REMAINING COSTS TO BRINGING THIS PROJECT TO, TO COMPLETION.

WE DON'T HAVE A CORPORATE OFFICE OR AN OUTSIDE TEAM SUPPORTING US.

EVERY DECISION ADJUSTMENT AND MEETING HAS FALLEN SOLELY ON JOSH AND I OFTEN PULLING US AWAY FROM SCHOOL EVENTS, FAMILY TIME, AND COMMUNITY COMMITMENTS.

AS PARENTS, WE DO OUR BEST TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM ADULT CONCERNS, BUT THIS ONGOING UNCERTAINTY HAS IN INEVITABLY AFFECTED OUR FAMILY LIFE, SPECIFICALLY THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN.

AGAIN, WE ARE NOT A CORPORATION, WE'RE NOT A CHAIN.

WE ARE A MOM AND DAD RUNNING A SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS.

OUR KIDS PLAY SPORTS HERE.

WE PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND WE TRULY JUST WANNA BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

WE ARE ASKING FOR A FAIR AND TIMELY RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS CITY, TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN HERE, AND TO BE THE GOOD NEIGHBORS THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE.

, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME'S LEONI SAN HU.

I'M THE CEO OF LIONSGATE LS.

SECURITY CONSULTANTS.

UH, JUST UNDERSTAND WHERE I COME FROM AND HOW I SEE THINGS.

SPENT 20 YEARS WITH SPECIAL OPERATIONS, 10 YEARS AS A US MARSHAL, FIVE YEARS AS A LOCAL COP.

BEFORE I STARTED THIS COMPANY.

WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR IS PROTECTING SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, PRIVATE COMMUNITIES, AND MEDICAL CENTERS.

RIGHT? WE'VE DEVELOPED PROBABLY THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ACTIVE SHOOTER MITIGATION STRATEGY AROUND THIS IS OUR ONLY BAR.

NEVER WANTED TO WORK FOR 'EM, AND I HAD NO INTEREST, BUT IT CAME BY WAY OF REFERRAL.

AND IN THE TIME THAT WE'VE SERVED HAMILTON, I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN REALLY IMPRESSED.

UH, THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

REALLY.

IT'S, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO DESCRIBE IT OTHER THAN LIKE A FAMILY GATHERING PLACE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

UH, MY PERSONNEL IS TRAINED, AND IT IS, WE ARE NOT YOUR AVERAGE SECURITY COMPANY AS FAR AS INCIDENT DOCUMENTATION GOES.

WE EXCEL AT IT.

AND WHAT WE NOTICED WHEN THEY OPENED UP THE SECOND SITE, WHICH THEY TURNED FROM AN EYESORE INTO A REALLY NICE BUILDING, AGAIN, WITH ALL KINDS OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE NEIGHBORS, WHAT WHAT WE'VE NOTICED IS NOT JUST HARASSMENT AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS, BUT IN CALIFORNIA, IF THERE'S NO VICTIM, NO CRIME.

SO IF THE VICTIM DON'T WANNA PRESS, UH, SBSO, IT, YOU KNOW, ALL THEY CAN DO IS KIND OF TALK TO 'EM AND, AND SEE WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE.

BUT NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN, BUT IT'S ESCALATING.

AND, UM, IT GOES FROM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE FROM HARASSMENT TO CRIMINAL THREATS TO THEIR STAFF, TO PATRONS, AND MY GUYS, I'M THERE OFTEN BECAUSE I PERSONALLY OVERSEE THIS ACCOUNT.

IT'S JUST A NEW TYPE OF ACCOUNT FOR US, AND I WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PULSE ON IT.

BUT FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO, TO EXTEND A HAND AND BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

UH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE HEARD, THE ALLEGATIONS ARE JUST

[01:20:01]

FALSE.

I'D BE REALLY CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT PICTURES OR, OR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS GOING ON 'CAUSE WE'VE NOT SEEN IT.

AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SIR.

THANKS, SIR.

LA LAVE BLAND, FOLLOWED BY LIZ UNA.

HELLO.

YOU GUYS KNOW ME? I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

WELL, THAT'S A LIE, MR. SECURITY, MAN.

OKAY? AND IF IT'S THAT BAD, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WANTS TO CONTINUE OPERATING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HE'S OPERATING IN.

AND AS FAR AS THE NOISE, NOBODY COMES TO MY APARTMENT, WHICH IS RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THAT BRICK WALL AND GETS TO HEAR THE FOOTBALL STADIUM FROM THURSDAY TO SUNDAY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU STILL ARE ALLOWING HIM TO STAY OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, ALL NIGHT LONG.

IF HE WANTS TO OPERATE, TELL HIM TO ENCLOSE ENCLOSED BUILDING NOW.

OKAY, SO I DON'T HAVE TO HEAR IT.

I CAN'T MOVE.

THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.

OKAY? HE CHOSE TO MOVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT ANY MEETING, ANYBODY.

ALL THAT'S STORIES THAT THEY'RE TELLING YOU, IT'S NOT TRUE.

OKAY? HE NEVER INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO US.

HE NEVER TRIED TO HAVE A PARTY FOR US, OKAY? NOT FOR ME ANYWAY.

OR I WOULD'VE ALREADY TOLD HIM, THERE'S NO PLACE FOR A BREWERY HERE, LET ALONE A BAR.

SO THIS IS NOT TRUE, OKAY? AND THE PICTURES THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO THE A, B, C BOARD, WERE LEGIT.

AND WHEREVER THEY'RE GETTING THEIR LITTLE SOUND THINGS, I SAW THE VIDEO.

WE DON'T HAVE HEDGES, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN GET A SOUND.

WHERE HEDGES ARE WHERE WE'RE AT.

WE JUST HAVE CURBS AND STREETS.

SO THAT WAS A LIE ON THAT TOO.

I'M JUST TIRED NOW.

I WANT A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.

I DO HAVE TO WORK, OKAY? AND I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD.

HE DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FROM WHAT WE HEARD LAST TONIGHT OUTSIDE, YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY GIVEN HIM AN APPROVAL.

OKAY? THAT'S, WHO ARE YOU FOR? WE VOTED YOU IN.

WE PAY YOUR WAGES.

YOU GUYS ARE JUST NOT FAIR.

LISA UNA.

NOW MY NAME IS LIZA, BORN AND RAISED IN, IN NORTHTOWN CUCAMONGA, THE RIO.

UM, I'M HERE LOOKING AT THIS COUNCIL AND I'M THINKING THAT YOU'RE HERE TO HELP US, THE COMMUNITY, THE RESIDENTS OF CUCAMONGA.

WELL, I HAD A, A CONVERSATION WITH CAROL NORRIS, WHO RUNS OUR NORTHTOWN COMMUNITY CENTER, AND SHE LET ME KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'VE PICKED SIDES ALREADY.

THIS COUNCIL CONNECTED CAROL NORRIS, AND CAROL STATED THIS TO ME WITH JOSHUA HAMILTON.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2014, HAVE NEVER MADE A DONATION TO THE RIO AT NORTHTOWN COMMUNITY.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE TRYING TO WORK ON YOUR IMAGE WITH THE HELP OF YOU GUYS.

'CAUSE YOU GUYS CONNECTED HIM.

ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE DONATING TOYS TO OUR KIDS, USING OUR KIDS AS PONDS TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I'M BORN AND RAISED THERE.

MY PARENTS PICKED GRAPES.

I WENT WITH MY PARENTS TO PICK GRAPES.

BEEN THERE SINCE 1963.

I HAVE DEEP ROOTS THERE.

I'M A FOURTH GENERATION.

MY HUSBAND WAS A, UH, PROBABLY LIKE A FIFTH GENERATION, TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE.

WE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY, BUT OUR PARENTS TAUGHT US RESPECT HARD WORK AND HOW TO HAVE INTEGRITY, THAT YOUR WORD MEANT EVERYTHING.

AND THAT'S WHO I AM.

I'M RETIRED SWORN OFFICER, WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THAT.

I'M A HOMEOWNER IN MY VA.

I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN NORTHTOWN.

AND THIS RIGHT NOW, LIKE I SAID, IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU TOOK SIDES CONNECTING CAROL.

REALLY? WHEN THIS GUY'S BEEN THERE SINCE 2 14, 20 14, SUPPOSEDLY, AND NEVER MADE A DONATION, TRYING TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK GOOD AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR KIDS, TALKING ABOUT THEIR KIDS.

YOU'RE NOT EVEN A MILE FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NORTH OF YOU, SOUTH OF YOU, ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

NOT EVEN A MILE FROM THE JUNIOR HIGH OPEN DURING SCHOOL HOURS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, DRUNK DRIVERS UP AND DOWN OUR STREET.

WHAT I'VE OBSERVED, DRUNK PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK.

WOW.

AND ALL THESE LIES RIGHT HERE.

WHEN DID YOU CHECK THE NOISE LEVEL?

[01:25:01]

WHEN, WHEN DID YOU DO THAT? WHAT, WHAT KIND OF INSTRUMENT DID YOU USE? BECAUSE THAT'S A LIE.

THAT'S A LIE.

AND WE DID PICK IT ON SATURDAY, AND THANK GOD MY GRANDKIDS WERE GOING TO THAT BREWERY.

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH, GRANDMA.

I'M NOT GOING THERE NO MORE.

SO THAT'S THE GOAL FOR US, IS TO GET PEOPLE TO HEAR US THAT WE'RE PROTECTING OUR KIDS AND OUR VAIO.

YOU GUYS MAKE ME FEEL LIKE, OH, WE'RE JUST THE PEONS OF CUCAMONGA.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST THE VAIO.

THAT'S HOW YOU GUYS MAKE ME FEEL.

WE ALREADY HAVE A GANG INJUNCTION IN THAT TOWN.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT A BAR THERE ON A, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET? I ASKED MY FRIEND, COME AND HELP ME.

COME AND HELP ME PROTEST.

AND SHE GOES, ARE SHE GOES A BAR IN A, IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? THAT'S WEIRD.

JESS.

SANTA CRUZ, FOLLOWED BY CHARLES HECK.

COMPANION, NOT YOU.

HI.

UM, I REALLY MISS THE DAYS WHERE I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THIS BUILDING WAS.

NEVER EVEN KNEW YOUR GUYS' FACES.

I REALLY, REALLY MISS THAT THIS 10 YEARS AGO WHEN I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR 10 YEARS.

I'VE BEEN QUIET, PEACEFUL, NOTHING'S HAPPENED.

AND NOW I'M HERE.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

WHEN I SAW JOSH WALKING THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ONE DAY I STOPPED HIM AND I TOLD HIM, HEY, THERE'S A COUPLE OF NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE A CONCERN.

YOU MIGHT WANNA TALK TO THEM.

I ASKED THE NE THOSE SAME NEIGHBORS THAT I POINTED OUT, I SAID, THAT HOUSE RIGHT THERE HAS AN ISSUE.

YOU MIGHT WANNA GO TALK TO THEM.

I ASKED THEM, NEVER WENT TO THEIR HOUSE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED OUTSIDE OF THAT INITIAL MEETING UNTIL THE DAY THAT THEY OPENED AND BLEW OUT THE PARKING FOR THREE BLOCKS.

SO I COME HOME FROM A 10 HOUR SHIFT, AND I HAVE NOWHERE TO PARK.

MY MAILBOX IS BEING BLOCKED.

SO I GET A NOTE FROM THE MAILMAN SAYING THAT MY MAIL COULDN'T BE DELIVERED THAT DAY.

AND THAT WAS OKAY BECAUSE IN HIS WORDS, IT'S STREET PARKING.

THEY PARKED THREE CARS WHERE ONLY TWO FIT AND BLOCKED PART OF MY DRIVEWAY.

AND THAT WAS, OKAY.

SO HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU WANT US TO TOLERATE? YOU SET THE RULES.

AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE IN OTHER MEETINGS.

I'VE SAID IT TWICE BEFORE IN OTHER MEETINGS.

I DON'T BLAME HIM.

I BLAME YOU.

I DO NOT BLAME JOSH AT ALL.

I BLAME YOU.

HE'S A BUSINESSMAN AND HE'S FOLLOWING ALL THE RULES THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM.

CUT HIS HOURS, WORDS.

THE REASON WHY YOU DON'T SEE MY NAME ON THAT INITIAL PETITION, THE VERY FIRST ONE THAT THEY BROUGHT TO YOU WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T OPPOSED TO HIS BAR.

WHEN IT, WHEN IT FIRST CAME UP, THE FIRST IDEA OF IT, I WASN'T OPPOSED TO IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT, OH, HE'S A NICE ENOUGH GUY, IT'LL BE FINE.

HE'S FINE.

WE CAN ALL SPEAK TO WHAT A GREAT PERSON HE IS.

COOL.

HIS PATRONS ARE WHAT I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH.

AND YES, IT'S A ONE OFF, IT'S A PERCENTAGE.

HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO PEE IN OUR BUSHES? DO COKE ON THE, IN THE DEAD END? I HAVE A PICTURE OF A GUY KNOCKED OUT ASLEEP.

HE WAS WALKING TO HIS CAR THAT WASN'T EVEN ON MAIN STREET.

I LIVE ON MAIN STREET.

HE GOT LOST.

AND INSTEAD OF GOING TO HIS CAR OR, OR CALLING AN UBER, HE FELL ASLEEP ON MY SIDEWALK.

I HE JUST TOOK A NAP ON THE STREET.

THAT'S NOT NORMAL.

I'VE ASKED FOR YOU GUYS TO LIMIT HIS CONSUMPTION, LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL, BECAUSE IF IT'S A TASTING ROOM, LET IT BE A TASTING ROOM.

IT'S NOT A BAR.

THEY SHOULD BE A LIMIT OF TWO BEERS PER PERSON.

CUT HIS HOURS BACK TO REASONABLE RESIDENTIAL TIME, 7:00 PM MAX.

IF HE REALLY CARES, LIKE HE'S SAYING, HE CARES.

CUT YOUR HOURS.

WE GO, CHARLES? YES, SIR.

UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

UH, CITY COUNCIL, EVERYBODY HERE.

UM, I COULD GO INTO THE HISTORY, UH, THAT MY FRIENDS, UH, STARTED IN THE CITY AS THE FIRST BREWERY IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I'M SURE YOU GUYS ALL KNOW THE STORY ALREADY.

UM, THE SACRIFICE THAT THEY PUT ON THEIR FAMILY TO SELL THEIR HOME, TO GET THEIR DREAM GOING, AND IT'S FINALLY ALIVE.

UM, I'VE KNOWN CHRISTIAN AND JOSH FOR CLOSE TO 20 YEARS NOW.

I GET THE JOY AND THE, UM, OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE WITH THEM AT OUR LOCAL CHURCH AT STORY CHURCH A FEW TIMES A MONTH.

UH, I'M TALKING ABOUT A COUPLE THAT IS THERE EARLY, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

UM, THEY ARE SIGNED UP AND THEY'RE THE LAST ONES TO LEAVE EVERY TIME THEY'RE SIGNED UP.

I GET TO SEE THAT IN THE CHURCH WORLD.

I WHERE WE SERVE, UH, PEOPLE COMING IN, UH, TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

[01:30:01]

THAT'S OUR DRIVE.

UH, SO MUCH SO TO WHERE WE'RE COMMANDED BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

TO LOVE GOD AND TO LOVE PEOPLE.

THEY'VE TAKEN THAT A STEP BEYOND.

NOT THAT YOU NEED TO WITH THE SCRIPTURES, BUT TO LOVE PEOPLE IN A LOVE BEER.

THIS IS NOT A BAR.

THEY'RE NOT SERVING HARD ALCOHOL.

THIS IS A PLACE TO WHERE I AM COMFORTABLE BRINGING MY CHILDREN.

AND I HAVE A NUMBER OF TIMES, AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE INSIDE THE BREWERY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN OVERSERVING IN THE BREWERY.

I'M NOT LYING ABOUT THAT.

PEOPLE ARE GONNA DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, PERIOD.

AND THAT SHOULD NOT FALL ON THE HAMILTONS.

THEY HAVE SACRIFICED SO MUCH, UM, FOR THEIR FAMILY.

OUR KIDS ARE VERY CLOSE WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

UM, I, I, AS A FIRE CAPTAIN, I GET TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF LEADERSHIP AND HOW THAT INFLUENCES BEHAVIOR AT A TEAM LEVEL.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I WALK INTO THAT BREWERY, I GET TO SEE A TEAM THAT OPERATES EFFICIENTLY AND SAFELY.

UM, THERE'S NEVER BEEN ONE TIME WHERE I FELT UNSAFE WITH MY FAMILY THERE.

UM, I'VE BEEN TO OTHER BREWERIES WHERE THAT'S NOT BEEN THE CASE.

UM, IT'S A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

I CHALLENGE ALL OF YOU GUYS, IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN THERE.

GO SEE THE OPERATION.

YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD IT.

UM, IT'S AN AWESOME SPOT.

UM, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT JUST THEIR INTEGRITY AND HONESTY, UM, AND THE ROLE THAT THEY PLAY IN MY LIFE.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY AND IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE BREWERY.

DAVID HAMILTON, FOLLOWED BY TRAVIS CUNNINGHAM, HAM.

THANK YOU GENE.

I'M JEAN HAMILTON AND MY HUSBAND LEFT ME UP HERE BY MYSELF.

UM, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.

AS PROUD PARENTS OF OUR SON, JO JOSHUA HAMILTON.

JOSH HAS ALWAYS HAD BIG DREAMS. HE'S AN IDEA MAN.

AS A YOUNG MAN, HE WANTED TO START A MOBILE CAR WASHING BUSINESS.

AND THEN HE BECAME PASSIONATE ABOUT OPENING A HOTDOG STAND.

AND BELIEVE ME, HAVING TO STAND UP HERE BEFORE ALL OF YOU TODAY, THE HOTDOG STAND IDEAS LOOKING BETTER BY THE MINUTE.

THESE TWO ARE HONEST.

UM, EXCUSE ME, I LOST MYSELF HERE.

JOSH AND OUR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, KRISTEN DECIDED TO, UM, PUT ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS INTO HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY.

THESE TWO ARE HONEST.

AS THE DAY IS LONG.

THEY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING TRANSPARENT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THEY ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING, EVEN WHEN IT'S HARD.

THEY'RE RESPECTFUL AND THEY HAVE KEPT THEIR PROMISES TO THEIR NEIGHBORS.

THEY HAVE ALSO SUPPORTED THIS COMMUNITY FROM THE DAY THEY OPENED 11 YEARS AGO.

THEY, UH, SPONSOR CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS LIKE ALL THE LITTLE LEAGUES TEAMS AND, AND SOCCER TEAMS. OFTENTIMES MY HUSBAND AND I GO INTO A RESTAURANT, WE'LL SEE A PLAQUE UP ON THE BOARD.

AND WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY SPONSOR ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY DO.

THEY'VE SHARED THEIR PROSPERITY IN WAYS OF FUNDRAISING.

MOST RECENTLY FOR A FALLEN OFFICER HERE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA, OUR RANCHO CUCAMONGA SOLDIERS WHO, UH, WERE KILLED IN, UH, AFGHANISTAN, THOSE AFFECTED BY MANY FIRES THEY'VE HAD.

WE HAVE SO MANY FIRES IN CALIFORNIA.

THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOME FUNDRAISER GOING.

THEY'VE SPONSORED THE 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS AT QUAKE STADIUM.

AND MOST RECENTLY, THE TOY DRI DRIVE FOR RANCHO CUCAMONGA CHILDREN FOR CHRISTMAS.

THEY CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THIS COMMUNITY TO MAKE IT BETTER.

WE NEED MORE BUSINESSES LIKE THEM, AND WE ARE IMMENSELY PROUD OF THEM.

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, YOU NEED TO GO, UM, PAY THEM A VISIT.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THIS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

KRISTEN'S PASTOR, THE BIBLE COMMANDS, UH, GOD'S PEOPLE TO BE, UH, TO EMBODY LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL.

TRAVIS CUNNINGHAM, FOLLOWED BY SCOTT SORENSON.

THANK YOU MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME'S TRAVIS CUNNINGHAM.

UH, AND I WAS JUST GONNA RAISE MY HAND 'CAUSE I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING CHARLES SAYS, BUT LEMME DOUBLE DOWN ON A COUPLE OF THINGS.

UH, IN THE SLOGAN AT HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY, IT SAYS, LOVE PEOPLE.

JOSH AND KRISTEN HAMILTON AND THEIR ENTIRE TEAM EMBODY THIS.

THEY LOVE PEOPLE.

IT'S SHOWN IN HOW THEY CREATE JOBS.

IT'S SHOWN IN THEM PAYING TAXES TO THE CITY AND BENEFITING THE OTHER BUSINESSES AROUND THEM.

FURTHERMORE, IT'S BEEN, IT'S SHOWN IT'S ITSELF IN HOW THEY'VE DONE REGULAR CHARITABLE OUTREACH ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST THE MOST RECENT NORTHTOWN TOY DRIVE.

UH, THEY'VE, UH, GIVEN, UH, EFFORTS TO FIRES BOTH HERE AND IN MAUI.

THEY'VE SUPPORTED FALLEN SOLDIERS PET SHELTERS, YOU NAME IT, THEY CAN DO IT.

AS A DAD, UH, I'VE BEEN TO MANY DIFFERENT BREWERIES, BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE BREWERY THAT I'VE EVER BEEN TO THAT I'M COMFORTABLE BRINGING MY CHILDREN TO.

AND THAT'S HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY.

IT'S A SAFE PLACE COMMITTED TO NOT OVER-SERVING PEOPLE, AND THERE ARE ZERO RAUCOUS CROWDS.

UM, I ASK THAT THE CITY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A THRIVING BUSINESS THAT IN TURN SUPPORTS THIS COMMUNITY.

AS JOSH'S PASTOR AND

[01:35:01]

AND I CAN SAY WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, AFTER INSPECTING THEIR LIVES AND LIVING IN COMMUNITY WITH THEM FOR MANY YEARS NOW, THEY FULLY EMBODY THIS AS DO AS DOES THEIR TEAM.

ANDREW KAHN, FOLLOWED BY ELIJAH GARCIA.

I THINK YOU SAID SCOTT SORENSON BEFORE ANDREW KAHN.

SCOTT SORENSON, THEN ANDREW.

ANDREW CONN'S NEXT.

UM, WELL, GOOD EVENING, UH, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

UH, I'M HERE SPECIFICALLY TO CONVEY AS WELL SUPPORT FOR THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY.

UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF.

I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AS A NURSING SUPERVISOR.

UH, AND I ALSO VOLUNTEER AS A PASTOR AT A LOCAL CHURCH HERE IN TOWN NAMED STORY CHURCH.

I'VE LIVED IN RANCH CUCAMONGA SINCE I WAS THREE YEARS OLD.

UH, AND, UH, SO I WAS RAISED HERE.

UH, I'VE BEEN A HOMEOWNER HERE SINCE 2009.

UH, SO I'VE LIVED HERE A LONG TIME.

I'M GETTING PRETTY OLD THESE DAYS.

UH, I, I'VE KNOWN THE HAMILTON FAMILY NOW FOR TWO DECADES, AND I'VE BEEN VISITING THE HAMILTON BREWERY SINCE IT OPENED IN 2014.

AND I VISITED THE NEW LOCATION MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL.

UH, I'M HERE JUST TO SAY THAT MY EXPERIENCE OF, OF AS HAS BEEN SHARED BY OTHERS OF BOTH THE HAMILTON FAMILY AND THEIR BREWERY, IS THAT THESE ARE EXACTLY THE KIND OF PEOPLE AND THE SORT OF BUSINESS THAT OUR CITY NEEDS TO ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUP SUPPORT.

JOSH AND KRISTEN AND THEIR PERSONAL LIVES AND IN THEIR BUSINESS HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY DEMONSTRATED, UH, THEMSELVES TO BE SIMPLY SOME OF THE MOST GENEROUS AND CHARITABLE INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE IN OUR CITY.

FRANKLY, UM, THEIR PRIORITIES ARE, ARE FAMILY CENTRIC.

THEY HAVE PRIDE FOR OUR CITY, UH, WHICH IS CONSTANTLY REFLECTED IN THE OPERATION OF THEIR BUSINESS.

NOW FOR 11 YEARS, I AM NOT A DRINKER.

UH, SO WHEN I VISIT, I'M ENJOYING A ROOT BEER.

UH, AND YET IT'S STILL FOR ME, ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO VISIT IN THE CITY WITH MY FAMILY.

I HAVE THREE CHILDREN.

UH, THE ENVIRONMENT THERE IS, IS WARM.

IF YOU ACTUALLY VISIT, YOU'LL SEE THIS.

IT'S WARM, IT'S SAFE, UH, AND IT'S JUST ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO EXPERIENCE COMMUNITY IN OUR TOWN AND CONSISTENTLY HAS BEEN SINCE THEY OPENED AT THE FIRST LOCATION AND NOW AT THE NEW LOCATION.

WHAT THEY'VE BUILT IN THIS BUSINESS IS GENUINELY HOMEGROWN FROM RANCHO, UH, LEGITIMATELY FAMILY CENTERED, UH, AND HONEST TO GOODNESS, A PLACE THAT MANY RESIDENTS AS REPRESENTED HERE TONIGHT, BUT MANY MORE HAVE GENUINE PRIDE OVER IN OUR CITY.

UH, ALL OF THIS TO STATE HERE PUBLICLY, THAT IN CASE THERE'S ANY POTENTIAL FOR WANING AFFECTION FOR THE BREWERY, IT WOULD BE A CRITICAL MISTAKE FOR OUR CITY TO NOT ENTHUSIASTICALLY RALLY BEHIND THE BREWERY IN FULL SUPPORT.

ANDREW KAHN, FOLLOWED BY ELIJAH GARCIA.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS ANDREW KAHN AND I'M JUST A AVERAGE RESIDENT HERE OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY IN REGARDS TO THEM AS PEOPLE, THEIR BUSINESS AND THE BENEFIT THAT IT GIVES TO THE CITIZENS OF RANCHO.

UH, JUST LIKE ME, I MET THE HAMILTON'S OVER FOUR YEARS AGO, AND I DID NOT KNOW THEY OWNED A BREWERY OR OPERATED ONE AT THE TIME.

THEY WERE WELCOMING, THEY WERE KIND, THEY WERE GENUINELY INTERESTED IN ME AND MY FAMILY AS A PERSON.

AND SO LATER WHEN I LEARNED THAT THEY OWNED A BREWERY AND OPERATED ONE THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE, I KNEW THAT I HAD TO GO CHECK IT OUT.

THE FIRST TIME THAT I WENT TO THEIR BREWERY, IT WAS LIKE AN EXTENSION OF WHO THEY ARE AS PEOPLE.

IT WAS GENUINE, KIND, FUN AND WELCOMING.

THIS NEW LOCATION HAS ONLY EXPANDED THOSE QUALITIES AND THE POSITIVE AND ENVIRONMENT OF THEIR BUSINESS.

THEIR STAFF IS KIND.

THE SECURITY THEY HIRE IS KIND AND IS SAFE AND MAKES IT SPECIFICALLY SAFE.

WHERE I CAN TAKE MY WHOLE FAMILY, INCLUDING MY 7-YEAR-OLD AND 9-YEAR-OLD WITHOUT ANY CONCERN AT ALL.

IT'S A PLACE THAT WE CAN INVITE FRIENDS WHO ALSO HAVE KIDS TO CATCH UP AND FEEL

[01:40:01]

WELCOMED.

OR IF I JUST WANNA HANG OUT WITH THE GUYS, GRAB A BEER AND CATCH A GAME, I CAN DO THAT AS WELL.

IT TRULY IS A FAMILY BREWERY.

I WAS JUST THERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND I SAW GRANDPARENTS, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ALL TOGETHER IN A FUN AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

WHEN I MEET SOMEONE NEW IN THE CITY OR I HAVE MEET SOMEONE NEW ON MY KIDS' LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM OR AT THEIR SCHOOL AND SAY, HEY, LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU.

LET'S HANG OUT.

MY NUMBER ONE GO-TO SPOT IS TO SAY, LET'S GO TO HAMILTON'S AND GRAB A BEER AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

EVERY TIME I GO, I SEE PEOPLE OF ALL GENERATIONS ENJOYING TIME TOGETHER AND ENJOYING WHAT THE HAMILTON'S HAVE BUILT FOR THIS CITY, FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

AND THEY'RE A MODEL OF WHAT I HOPE OTHER BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO DO AND CONTINUE TO GROW IN OUR CITY.

ELIJAH GARCIA, FOLLOWED BY LAURA ESPINOZA.

HELLO.

UH, GOOD AFTERNOON OR EVENING EVERYONE.

UM, I JUST WANT TO KIND OF POINT OUT SOME THINGS.

AFTER HEARING PREVIOUSLY OF THE TWANDA AND THEIR KIND OF THOSE RESIDENCE THINGS, I'M KIND OF SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE.

NOW I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THIS MAN.

I'VE SAID THAT MULTIPLE TIMES TO HIS FACE AND EVERYONE, I DON'T WANT THIS MAN BANKRUPT.

I SEE EVERYTHING HE'S PUT INTO IT.

I DON'T WANT THAT, GOD FORBID, THAT POLICE, BUT WHO ZONED EVERYTHING AND WHO DID THAT AND WHO GAVE HIM THE POLICIES AND GAVE HIM THE HOPE THAT YEAH, YOU CAN JUST COME IN.

NO PROBLEM.

WHO GAVE THE ZONING ABOUT THE TWANDA ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF? IT COMES TO BE THE BOARD.

I'M SEEING NOW THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT PADDING.

IT'S ABOUT PADDING.

WE CAN PAD IN NICE SUITS, NICE DRESS PANTS, HANDSHAKE, EVERYTHING.

AND ON PAPER IT'S GONNA BE NICE, BUT ACTUALITY IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM IDEAL SITUATIONS.

AND IT'S JUST INTERESTING THAT THERE'S SO MANY PARALLELS BETWEEN US FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE OTHER ONE FOR THE ELWANDA CONSTRUCTION, RIGHT? THEY HAD THE GREAT DEFENSE.

HE, THIS MAN CAME WITH OVER, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SIGNATURES WERE A LITTLE, YEAH, A LITTLE DISORGANIZED, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY 'CAUSE OF ALL THE SACRIFICE WE HAD TO MAKE JUST TRYING TO GROW UP IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I'M NOT TRYING TO DISSUADE ANYTHING OR ANYTHING, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST INTERESTING THAT, UH, THE CHAMBER OF COMMENTS SAYS THAT THE FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THRIVING RC IS THEIR MAIN GOAL.

THIS IS EMBARRASSING ME THAT I HAVE PEOPLE, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW THEM.

I DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW IT.

US WE DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER AT ALL BEFORE THIS.

IT WAS AWESOME.

NOW LOOK AT THIS, BUT WHAT I'M SEEING IS, IS THAT IT'S THE CITY HALL.

THEY WANT TO MAKE THIS CITY A SKYSCRAPER.

THEY WANNA MAKE THIS CITY A SKYSCRAPER CITY.

I KNOW IT, I CAN SEE IT NOW.

AND I THINK YOU GUYS ARE ARE REALLY FOCUSING ON THE CASH COW AT THE END, ON THE PAPERWORK, ON THE IDEALNESS OF IT, THE GREAT AMERICAN CITY TROPHIES AND EVERYTHING.

BUT IN REALITY, WHY WOULD WE WANT THIS RC WHERE WE ALL GREW UP? EVERYONE HAS HISTORY HERE.

WHY WOULD WE WANT TO GROW IT UP AND HAVE IT BE ANOTHER LA HAVE IT BE ANOTHER RIVERSIDE, HAVE IT BE, UH, POMONA.

I'VE BEEN THERE.

I GO TO SCHOOL IN POMONA.

I GROW, I DRIVE DOWN HOLT.

'CAUSE THE 10, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS NOTICED, THE 10 IS TERRIBLE RECENTLY.

SO I HAVE TO TAKE HOLT OR MISSION.

AND IT HURTS ME SEEING ALL THOSE PEOPLE ON THERE, SEEING THE HOMELESS, SEEING EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU KNOW IS GOING ON, ON THAT STREET.

WHAT HA WHY THOUGH? BECAUSE OF THE ZONING 'CAUSE OF THE POPULATION THAT HOUSING, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS.

AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE GOES.

HE'S A BUSINESS OWNER HE'S GONNA GO AFTER WHERE HIS BUSINESS IS GONNA SUCCEED.

AND I COMMEND HIM FOR THAT.

THAT'S AWESOME.

I WANT HIM TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.

I WANT ALL BUSINESS OWNERS HERE TO BE MILLIONAIRES.

BUT AT THE COST OF CREATING THIS CITY THAT I GREW UP FROM, BEING A NICE, CALM PLACE AMERICAN WHERE I'M A PATRIOT AND GOD-FEARING AND EVERYTHING TO WHAT LA IS.

NOW, HAVE YOU GUYS, WOULD YOU GUYS WANNA LIVE IN LA? WOULD YOU WANT LA HERE? I JUST, I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD.

LAURA ESPINOZA, FOLLOWED BY AMANDA AND JULIA MORENO.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE.

MY NAME IS DR. LAURA ESPINOZA.

I HAVE BEEN COMING TO THESE COUNCIL MEETINGS SINCE HAMILTON'S INITIAL PROPOSAL, NOVEMBER OF 2023.

THIS PROPOSAL, THIS WAS NOVEMBER OF 2023.

I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THE LIST OF ISSUES WE ARE FACING ON MAIN STREET AND NEIGHBORHOOD.

I WILL SAY THAT HAMILTON'S ESTABLISHMENT HAS CREATED A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR MAIN STREET RESIDENTS, NEIGHBORS, AND NEARBY BUSINESSES.

[01:45:01]

WE CANNOT SLEEP IN PEACE IN OUR OWN HOMES BECAUSE OF THE CHAOS THAT HAPPENS EVERY NIGHT DUE TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

WE ARE ALL TIRED.

WE CAN'T SLEEP IN PEACE.

WE ARE STRESSED, WE ARE ANXIOUS, WE ARE VERY FRUSTRATED.

WE CAN CONTINUE LIVING THIS WAY.

THE DISTURBANCE HAMILTON'S ESTABLISHMENT HAS BROUGHT TO OUR COMMUNITY ARE PERSISTENT AND PERVASIVE.

AS YOU WILL SEE IN ALL OF THE EVIDENCE SENT TO MR. MARCUS.

IF HE HAS NOT RECEIVED IT, HE WILL BE RECEIVING IT.

WE CANNOT MONITOR HIS BUSINESS AND RECORD EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING DAY BY DAY, MOMENT BY MOMENT.

SUFFICE TO SAY THAT OUR EVIDENCE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT MR. HAMILTON'S ESTABLISHMENT CONTINUES TO VIOLATE MULTIPLE CONDITIONS SET BY THE A, B, C LICENSING DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

AND THAT THIS BUSINESS HAS CREATED A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS STRIPPING US FROM OUR RIGHT TO PEACE AND QUIET ENJOYMENT OF OUR PROPERTY.

MR. MARQUEZ WAS PRESENT AT THE DECEMBER 10TH ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING WITH THE A, B, C LICENSING ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE, AND HEARD ALL OF OUR CONCERNS AND OUR PLEA.

WE ARE HERE TO PLEA WITH THIS CITY COUNCIL TO HELP US ABATE THIS PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS PREVENTING US FROM PEACEFUL AND QUIET ENJOYMENT OF OUR PROPERTIES.

WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU CLEARLY REVIEW THE INITIAL PROPOSAL.

WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE IN REVIEWING ALL INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED TO YOU TO MAKE A PROPER DECISION THAT PROTECTS YOUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE ARE ASKING THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT ABSTAIN FROM ANY DECISION RELATED TO ANY HAMILTON BREWERY BUSINESS AS WE THE COMMUNITY BELIEVE THERE IS A THANK YOU INTEREST.

FOR MS. SCOTT TO ALSO NOT INTERVENE OR AT LEAST, OR EVEN STEP DOWN BECAUSE SHE'S NOT PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING.

AND I HAVE MORE, WHICH I, ARMANDO AND JULIA MORENO FOLLOW.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

SO AGAIN, WE ARE HERE AGAIN FOR HAMILTON BREWERY.

UM, AS WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANNA BE REPETITIVE AND I WAS LISTENING TO WHAT HE SAID, I LIVE PRETTY MUCH IN FRONT OF THE BREWERY AND WE'RE NOT, WE, WE, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE'RE NOT JUDGING HIS CHARACTER, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF GOOD LAW ABIDING, TAX PAYING COMMUNITY.

AND THE ONLY THING THAT, AND, AND THE ONLY THING I DO DISAGREE IS THAT HE CAME OUT TO COMMUNICATE TO EVERYBODY.

EVERYONE COULD SAY, YEAH, HE'S A GOOD PERSON.

NO ONE'S JUDGING HIS CHARACTER.

BUT HE DIDN'T REACH OUT TO US.

UM, AND WE DID NOT DECLINE TO NOT TALK TO HIM.

UM, WHAT WAS THE OTHER THING? GO AHEAD.

HE, UM, MR. HAMILTON WALKS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PREVIOUS TIME WHEN WE WERE ALL HERE, HE COMMENTED HOW HE WALKS AND HE TALKS TO THE DOGS, BUT NOT ONCE HAS HE BOTHERED OR DID HE BOTHER TO SPEAK TO US? THE RESIDENTS? HE WALKS EVERY, HE USED TO WALK ALMOST EVERY DAY.

NOW, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN HIM PROBABLY TWICE SINCE HE OPENED HIS BREWERY.

AND, UM, IT'S, IT'S SAD TO SEE THAT HE DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PEOPLE EXCEPT FOR, UM, ONE HOUSE DOWN THE STREET.

UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT HE LOVES PEOPLE, BUT HE DOES NOT CARE FOR THE RESIDENTS ACROSS THE STREET OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE BREWERY AT ALL.

IF HE DID, HE WOULD NOT HAVE PUT THAT BREWERY IN FRONT OF OUR HOME OR NEXT TO THE ELDERLY PEOPLE OR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, THE TOY DRIVE, I'M SORRY, BUT THAT IS LIKE A SLAP ON OUR FACE.

IT IS NOT WELCOMED.

AND CAROL SHOULD HAVE REALLY LOOKED INTO THAT.

AND, UM, I WOULD LIKE

[01:50:01]

LEMME SAY SOMETHING ALSO, UM, REAL QUICK.

SO I REALIZE THAT EVERYBODY IS TALKING VERY HIGHLY OF HIM AND EVERYTHING.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, A LOT OF THE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPOKEN, BUT NONE OF THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN FRONT OF THAT BREWERY.

THEY'LL GO THERE, THEY'LL VISIT, THEY'LL HAVE SOME DRINKS, HAVE SOME GOOD TIME WITH FRIENDS.

THEY LEAVE.

I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE CAUSING ISSUES, BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT GO THERE THAT CREATE A LOT OF ISSUES.

NUISANCE, THANK YOU.

DARLENE CARDENAS, FOLLOWED BY STEVE DIAZ.

DIAZ.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING SOME OF US THE FLOOR TO SHARE ON OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE HAMILTON BREWERY.

AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY ADD ABOUT THE HAMILTON FAMILY.

I WAS EMPLOYED BY THE HAMILTON FAMILY TO HELP WITH THE INTERIOR DECORATING OF THEIR NEW LOCATION.

SO I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE FIRSTHAND EVERYTHING THAT WENT INTO CREATING THIS SPECIAL PLACE IN RANCHO CUON, RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE KRISTEN AND JOSH HAMILTON DURING THAT TIME.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS ALREADY, KRISTEN AND JOSH ARE SOME OF THE MOST KIND, HONEST, CARING INDIVIDUALS.

THEY HAVE A HEART AND LOVE FOR PEOPLE.

AND THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, THE NEW BREWERY, WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE HOPES OF CREATING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, A PLACE OF GATHERING, AND TO SHOW THAT LITTLE TOWN DREAMS COULD BE MADE POSSIBLE.

MANY OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS, BUT SOME OF KRISTEN'S VERY OWN FAMILY GREW UP RIGHT IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVEN WORKED ACROSS THE STREET FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

HOW PROUD HER FAMILY MUST BE, AND WHAT A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT TO KNOW THAT ONE OF THEIR OWN HAS OPENED A BUSINESS HERE.

ONE THAT HAS OPENED AND HAS BEEN BUILT ON INTEGRITY, HEART AND COMMUNITY TO GIVE BACK IN THIS SAME AREA, ON THOSE SAME STREETS, AND PROVIDING JOBS, EVEN PAYING TAXES HERE FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER? THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY IS A BUSINESS BUILT WITH INCREDIBLE INTENTION, A PURPOSE BEYOND PROFIT, AND A WARMTH AND WELCOMING THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY CAN ONLY BENEFIT FROM.

I HAVE BEEN A PART OF MANY MEETINGS, MANY CONVERSATIONS AND NEIGHBORING PLACES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A TOP PRIORITY FOR THEM.

I HAVE SEEN THEM MAKE AS MANY ACCOMMODATIONS PIVOT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE TO, THEY CHOOSE TO.

THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY IS A BUS BUSINESS THAT FINDS ANY OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO HIS OWN COMMUNITY FROM FUNDRAISERS LIKE THE ONES THEY HAD HELD FOR OUR OWN RANCHO YOUNGEST FALLEN POLICE OFFICER.

THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY IS A GIFT TO THE COMMUNITY AND A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS SHOULD BE.

AND I WISH FOR NOTHING BUT SUPPORT AND SUCCESS FOR THEM HERE IN THE CITY FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

AND WE ASK THAT YOU STAND IN SUPPORT OF THIS FAMILY ALSO.

STEVE DIAZ, FOLLOWED BY ALMA VIEGAS.

GOOD EVENING, UH, MAYOR CITY COUNCIL.

UH, MY NAME IS STEVE DIAZ.

UH, I KNOW JOSH BECAUSE I SEE HIM WALK AROUND ALL THE TIME.

NICE GUY, BUT IT'S NOT HIM.

IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT GO THERE.

THEY'RE A BUNCH OF YOUNG KIDS.

THEY CANNOT HANDLE THEIR LIQUOR.

AND THIS, THIS BEER HE HAS IS NOT A REGULAR BEER.

THIS IS LIKE EIGHT, 9% ALCOHOL.

AND THEY HAD THEIR KIDS WITH HIM.

THEY'RE ARGUING WITH THEIR OLD LADIES WHO'S GONNA DRIVE HOME, WHO'S GONNA DRIVE? THE KIDS ARE CRYING, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST STUBBORN.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE YOUNGSTERS AND THEY CAN'T HANDLE THEIR ALCOHOL.

AND ARCHIBALD IS A HARD STREET TO CROSS.

EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SOBER, IT'S HARD TO CROSS.

SO YOU GOTTA JUST WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HURT BADLY.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS AND STUFF, AND YOU'RE ALLOWING THIS S**T, THIS S**T BELONGS IN A INDUSTRIAL PART, NOT IN A, IN A, UM, RESIDENT RESIDENT.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS GOTTA PULL YOUR HEAD OUT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS CRAZY.

THANK YOU, ALMA VIEGAS.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

THE EIGHTIES, NINETIES, AND TWO THOUSANDS.

MY NAME IS ARMA ERGAS AND I'VE BEEN RESIDENT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA SINCE 1974.

I HAD MY OWN EXPERIENCE ON HOW TO RESTRICT THE CDS FOR ANY MERCHANT OR ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE OPEN A BUSINESS HERE, BECAUSE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE UP TO THREE RESTAURANTS WITH SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANTS IN THE RESIDE CUCAMONGA IN

[01:55:01]

I LOVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I DON'T LIKE TO LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE.

UH, NOW THAT MY FAMILY, I HAVE THREE LOVELY DAUGHTERS AND THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, AND I FEEL VERY, VERY COMFORTABLE AND SAFE TO SPEND TIME AT THE HAMILTON, BECAUSE HAMILTON BREWERY, BECAUSE I SEE I THAT IS A VERY CASUAL, BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY, HAVE A BITE TO EAT AND TALK, AND THE ADULTS CAN HAVE A TASTE OF DELICIOUS BEERS, JUST, UM, FOLLOWING THE SOCIAL MEDIA.

YOU CAN TELL.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE CHARACTERS OF THE HAMILTON'S, AND I WASN'T GONNA TALK ANYMORE, BUT I WANNA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT C HAMILTON.

C HAMILTON COMES FROM HIS GRANDPARENTS CAME FROM ERWINDALE IN 1963, AND HIS GRANDFATHER WAS THE MANAGER OF SAN LABOR BALLET LABORERS ASSOCIATION IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

I'M NOT IMPRESSED.

SPEAK TO SPEAK TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL, PLEASE.

IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

SO THEY, THEY COME, THEY'RE HARDWORKING PEOPLE.

THEY WERE ON OVER THERE ON THE SOUTH ON FOOTHILL, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY LIVE.

GOT, THANK GOD, AFTER HARD A LOT OF WORK.

THEY WENT AND TO LIVE UP IN, UM, UH, RIGHT NEXT IN RED HILL.

BUT, UM, KRISTEN KNOWS ABOUT THE, UH, PROPER TYPE WAY TO WORK ALL HER ETHICS AND ALL HER HARD WORK.

AND SHE'S VERY, VERY PROUD TO COME AND LEAVE AND WORK IN THE CITY WHERE HER GRANDFATHER CAME MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, SINCE 1963.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT'S ALL.

THAT CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.

UM, OR THE PUB AT LEAST THE COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC.

UH, JOSH, I WOULD, MR. HAMILTON, CAN YOU COME UP AGAIN AND MAYBE RESPOND TO SOME OF THE THINGS AND WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN BE ABLE TO DO TO HELP SOLVE SOME OF THESE ISSUES? HAMILTON, PLEASE.

NEVER PICKED OUR KIDS.

UM, WELL I JUST WANNA CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP.

UH, CODE VIOLATIONS OR PARKING MINIMUMS NOT BEING MET TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE WHOLE PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON BEFORE IT'S ASSUMED THAT I'M DOING SOMETHING NEFARIOUS.

UM, JUST FOR YOU GUYS TO LISTEN.

THANK YOU FOR STAYING.

I APPRECIATE IT.

WHEN, UH, WHEN THAT PETITION WAS SIGNED, I FOUND OUT FROM CITY PLANNING THAT THERE WAS A PETITION SIGNED AND THAT OUR MUP WAS LIKE A STAFF LEVEL REVIEW.

IT DIDN'T NEED A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT IF I'D BE OPEN TO MEETING WITH PEOPLE AND I SAID, SURE, GIVE THEM MY NUMBER, I WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH THEM.

AND I TALKED, I JUST TALKED TO DR.

LAURA WHO, ESPINOZA WHO WAS HERE, AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO I INVITED EVERYBODY TO COME OUT TO THE BREWERY TO HAVE A DINNER.

AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITH SOME DATES WHEN 'CAUSE WORK.

AND THEN THE NEXT CALL I GOT WAS THAT SHE HAD REACHED OUT INSTEAD TO THE CITY AND SAID THAT THAT WAS A NO GO, THAT THEY WANTED IT TO BE AT CITY HALL.

SO WHEN I SAY LIKE I REACHED OUT, IT WAS THROUGH OKAY, JUST LAURA, IT WAS THROUGH LAURA ESPINOZA THAT I TRIED TO REACH OUT.

UM, ALSO IN TERMS OF LIKE, AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, LIKE BREWERIES CAN ONLY OPERATE IN INDUSTRIAL AREAS, SO I'M REALLY RESTRICTED AS TO WHERE MY BREWERY CAN GO.

AND THIS IS ZONED CORRECTLY FOR IT HOURS.

YEAH, I'M JUST, MAY I ASK YOU JUST TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? IT'S 'CAUSE I LIKE, I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEM.

I KNOW YOU DO.

AND I THINK THERE IS SOME FRUSTRATION THAT I, I CAN UNDERSTAND AND THEY'RE MY NEIGHBORS AND I WANNA LOVE THEM.

I WANNA TREAT 'EM RIGHT, BUT THERE'S SO LITTLE THAT I CAN CONTROL.

LIKE I, I'M EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO LIKE CONTROL PUBLIC PARKING ON A PUBLIC STREET.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS ME TO HAVE THAT POWER.

I KNOW I DON'T WANT IT.

AND WE'VE BEEN DISCOURAGING THE USE OF THOSE ROADS EVER SINCE WE'VE OPENED AND WE CONTINUE TO DO SO.

UM, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO BE AS RESPONSIBLE AS WE CAN AND STILL EVEN LIKE, I THINK WHAT YOU DON'T HEAR WHEN THEY COME AND COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME IS THAT WE DO HAVE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE BEING THREATENED, MAYBE NOT BY EVERYONE HERE, BUT BY SOME PEOPLE ON THE STREET.

UM, THEY HAVE VOICE CONCERNS.

WE'VE HAD AN EMPLOYEE AND A CUSTOMER HAD DOG FECES SMEARED ON THEIR CARS BECAUSE THEY PARKED, I GUESS IN THE WRONG AREA.

UM, AND THERE WAS ALREADY A SOLUTION AS FAR AS I KNEW, SPELLED OUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND OUR MUP TO CONVERT IT TO RESIDENTIAL ONLY PARKING, WHICH I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE DONE.

AND I WOULD PAY FOR IT AS SPELLED OUT IN THE PERMIT.

AND, UM, THAT WOULD, IN MY VIEW, SOLVE MUCH OF THESE ISSUES.

AND I THINK I'VE, I'VE ASKED FOR IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO THAT I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE TOWARDS THAT, BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON IT'S BEEN REJECTED.

UM, AND SO I'M TRYING TO DO MY BEST.

I WOULD, I WOULD SEEK GUIDANCE HERE.

THERE'S JUST A, I GUESS A FEW REQUESTS I WOULD HAVE IS THAT, UM, THERE'S MULTIPLE FACTORS THAT CAN CAUSE A PARKING CONGESTION ON MAIN STREET, WHETHER FROM A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OR A RESIDENTIAL.

AND SO IF THE CITY FILLS THEY NEED TO DO ANY MORE INVESTIGATIONS, WOULD THEY DO A HOLISTIC APPROACH AND CHECK ALL SURROUNDING PROPERTIES FOR POSSIBLE,

[02:00:01]

WE COULD CHECK EVERYTHING AND OF COURSE, KEEP CONTINUE CHECKING MY BUSINESS.

I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

AND THEN NOW THAT THE, UH, RESIDENTIAL ONLY PARKING THING HAS BEEN REJECTED SO FAR, AS LONG AS IT'S OFF THE TABLE, IS THERE ANY OTHER PARKING DE DESIGNATION WE COULD EXPLORE LIKE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME PARKING ZONE OR A NO OVERNIGHT PARKING ZONE BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF UNCLEAR.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT MAIN STREET, THERE'S CONES EVERYWHERE, TRASH CANS LEFT OUT.

IT'S LIKE, IT'S RAN BY INTIMIDATION RATHER THAN CITY CODE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

IT LOOKS LIKE A NO MAN'S AREA.

AND, UM, IT, IT'S JUST HARD FOR CUSTOMERS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO AND ANY CLARITY THAT CAN BE BROUGHT THERE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE'LL BRING IT BACK.

MR. MAYOR, MAY I JUST ASK A QUESTION OF THE OWNER BEFORE HE SITS DOWN? SURE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS OR, OR THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY THE SEVENTH SPEAKER TONIGHT WAS TO PERHAPS CURTAIL OR CUT SOME OF THE HOURS THAT YOU HAVE TO YOUR ORGANIZATION, YOUR BUSINESS THERE.

MM-HMM .

CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT HOW FEASIBLE THAT IS? WHAT THE EFFECT WOULD BE AS AN OPTION? YEAH.

IT DEPENDS ON, I, I, I MEAN 7:00 PM UM, I MEAN, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH A GHOST TOWN UNTIL ABOUT FIVE O'CLOCK.

SO IF THEY WANTED US CLOSE AT 7:00 PM IT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I THINK THEY ACTUALLY WANT IS JUST US TO CLOSE PERIOD.

UM, SO I THINK A LOT OF THOSE RESTRICTIONS, UM, THOUGH MIGHT SOUND GOOD TO THEM FOR ME, WOULD PROBABLY JUST SPELL LIKE DISASTER, YOU KNOW.

UM, CAN CAN YOU TALK MAYBE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ON THE NIGHTS THAT YOU'RE CLOSING AT MIDNIGHT MM-HMM .

CLOSING AT 10 30? I MEAN, IS THAT YEAH.

SO LIKE, THE WAY THAT WORKS FOR US, LIKE, WE'LL DO LAST CALL 30 MINUTES BEFORE POST TO CLOSING AND THEN GIVE 15 MINUTES FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN LINE.

AND THEN THE TAPS ARE DRY 15 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING.

SO THERE'S A, A SAFE BUFFER IF SOMEONE HAS A BEER TO FINISH.

AND THEN OUR STAFF BEGINS CLOSING AND CLEANING OPERATIONS.

AND THEN AFTER A CERTAIN POINT, UH, WE HAVE PEOPLE LEAVE AND THEY'RE USUALLY GONE BY THEN.

SO WE CAN LOCK UP, COUNT THE MONEY, MOP THE FLOORS SO THERE'S NO TRIP HAZARDS AND ALL THAT.

AND SECURITY'S USUALLY OUTSIDE ON NIGHTS ROPE IN THE MIDNIGHT, MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE GETTING SAFE RIDES HOME AND ALL THAT.

UM, SO LIKE, I MEAN, WE, WE ESSENTIALLY KIND OF CLOSE AT 1130 ALREADY WITH OUR, OUR LAST CALL.

UM, SAME WITH OUR 10 O'CLOCK NIGHTS.

AND SO LIKE, AND WE DO THAT.

SO IT'S A NICE EASY TRANSITION INTO THE CLOSE OF A SHIFT.

UM, I THINK ANY FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THAT, IT'S, IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE CLOSING US DOWN IF A HALF HOUR EARLIER THAN WHAT THE STATED TIME WOULD BE, JUST GIVEN THE NATURE OF SERVING ALCOHOL.

SO IF WE MADE IT NINE O'CLOCK, WELL WE'RE PRETTY MUCH CLOSED AT EIGHT 30, WHICH GIVES US A REALISTIC THREE HOUR WINDOW TO MAKE OUR LIVING MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, BECAUSE PEOPLE COME AFTER WORK PRIMARILY.

WE DO GET A LOT OF FAMILIES DURING THE DAY, BUT NOWHERE NEAR THE, WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO TO SUPPORT THE FULL OPERATIONS, BECAUSE IT IS A, A PRODUCTION FACILITY AS WELL.

IT'S NOT, THEY WOULD LIKE TO CLASSIFY IT AS A BAR, BUT OUR TYPE OF LICENSING IS THAT WE MANUFACTURE AS WELL.

AND THAT GIVES US A PRIVILEGE THROUGH A, B, C TO SERVE AND DISTRIBUTE.

AND SO WE HAVE OVER 120 ACCOUNTS, IS THAT RIGHT, RYAN? MY DISTRO GUY'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE? YEAH, OVER A HUNDRED.

130 MAYBE.

ACCOUNTS WITHIN THE INLAND EMPIRE THAT WE SERVICE WITH OUR BEER.

UM, AND SO, UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALL KIND OF DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER.

WE DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES SENSE OR IF I'M ASKING TOO MANY, ANSWERING TOO MANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTION.

NO, I, I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.

I GUESS THE LAST ONE THAT I'LL, I'LL JUST KIND OF CLOSE WITH IS, IN THE EVENT THAT YOU WERE ASKED TO CLOSE ON THE WEEKENDS ONE HOUR EARLIER, WOULD THAT HAVE A VERY SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOUR BOTTOM LINE? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD REALLY DAMAGE YOUR BUSINESS? I CAN ACTUALLY DO STUDIES ON THAT AND WE'VE, I MEAN, WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS LIKE, 'CAUSE WE, THIS HAS BEEN A TWO YEAR PROCESS.

WE'VE ACTUALLY CHANGED A LOT OF OUR OPERATIONS IN MOVING INTO IT.

WE USED TO HAVE LARGE MONTHLY EVENTS FOR SPECIAL BEER RELEASES THAT WE WERE SCARED WHEN IT FIT IN THE NEW DYNAMIC.

AND WE'VE GOTTEN RID OF, UM, WE'VE LOOKED AT OUR HOURS AND ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN, UH, A LOT OF OUR MONEY IS GENERATED, IT IS IN THE LAST TWO HOURS OF SERVICE.

NOW PART OF THAT IS THE CLOSING OF TABS.

UM, SO I CAN GET A MORE ACCURATE NUMBER, BUT I WOULD, I WOULD SUSPECT IT WOULD BE A PRETTY REASONABLE PERCENTAGE OF THE WEEKENDS, UH, PROFITS FOR SURE.

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTION.

BUT I, I CAN, I CAN LOOK INTO THAT FOR YOU AND GET BACK TO YOU IF YOU'D LIKE.

THANK YOU, JOSH.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UH, THE GENTLEMAN HERE WHO BROUGHT A VIDEO AND PLAYED A VIDEO FOR US.

COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS? THOUGHTS? I HAD SOME QUESTIONS FOR OUR, OUR OWN TEAM, IF THAT'S OKAY, MR. MAYOR.

YOU BET.

SO I KNOW WE DID THE, UM, NOISE STUDY.

I ALSO REMEMBER,

[02:05:01]

UM, AND WE HEARD THE NOISE.

I KNOW WE DID IT ON DIFFERENT DAYS, DIFFERENT WEEKENDS.

DO WE DO IT DURING, WHEN THERE WAS LIKE A FOOTBALL GAME OR SOME BASEBALL PLAYOFF GAME WHERE THERE'S TENDS TO BE MORE PEOPLE, A LITTLE BIT MORE NOISIER? I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND, AND COMPARE THE DATES WHERE THE NOISE READINGS WERE DONE TO, UH, ANY SORT OF, UH, SPECIAL SPORTING EVENTS.

UH, WE CAN CERTAINLY GO BACK AND DO THAT.

UH, BUT THE READINGS WERE DONE, AS I MENTIONED, AT AT LEAST 15 READINGS OVER DIFFERENT TIMES, UM, OF THE DAY.

UM, AND, AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE WITH THOSE.

SO I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, AND PERHAPS THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S A PARTICULAR SPORTING EVENT THAT, UH, MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL CHEERING OR NOISE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT'S, WHAT'S, UH, TYPICALLY THERE.

SO WE CAN, WE CAN LOOK TO TAILOR SOME NOISE READINGS AROUND THOSE TYPES OF, UH, EVENTS THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD.

AND THEN, UM, IN TERMS OF THE LANDSCAPING KNOW, I KNOW THAT'S STILL, STILL PART, THEY HAVING IT DONE, BUT IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO LIKE A, A BARRIER OR ANYTHING TO HELP ELIMINATE THE NOISE? UM, SO WE'LL CONTINUE WITH, WITH NOISE TESTING.

IF THERE ARE, UH, VIOLATIONS THAT WE FIND WE CAN CERTAINLY WORK WITH, UH, THE BUSINESS OWNER TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO, UH, CORRECT THOSE VIOLATIONS.

UM, WE COULD CERTAINLY ASK THE BUSINESS OWNER IF HE'S, IF HE'S OPEN TO MAKING CHANGES IF WE DON'T FIND ANY VIOLATIONS.

UM, BUT THOSE ARE CERTAINLY THINGS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO REVIEW LEADING UP TO OUR SIX MONTH, UH, REVIEW OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

GREAT.

AND THEN, GIVEN THAT WE DID FIND ONE THING WHERE THEY WERE, UM, TOO MANY OCCUPANTS THAT WAS ALLOWED, I KNOW WE'RE GONNA DO RANDOM AND IF, DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY? WE'RE GONNA DO SOME RANDOM, UM, SURPRISE CHECK-INS BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO DO LEAD TO THE PARKING ISSUE.

YOU UH, YES.

SO PART OF OUR PLAN IS TO DO RANDOM INSPECTIONS TO ENSURE THAT COMPLIANCE IS ONGOING.

AND THE, AND THE ONE THING I WOULD RECOMMEND TOO IS THAT I KNOW WE'RE ABOUT 12 MONTHS GONNA REVIEW MAYBE POSSIBLY IF THEY APPLIED THE EXTENSION OF THE, UM, HOURS GOING TO MIDNIGHT ALMOST EVERY DAY.

IF I READ THAT OR UNDERSTOOD THAT CORRECTLY.

I KNOW THAT'S IN SIX MONTHS I THINK IT IS.

SO AT THE END OF THEIR FIRST SIX MONTHS OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS, THEY CAN BRING FORWARD A REQUEST TO EXTEND THEIR BUSINESS HOURS.

I LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT TO BE 12 MONTHS JUST TO GET THAT WAY.

WE CAN HASH OUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES FOR THE DOWN THE ROAD 12 MONTHS.

UM, AND THEN THE OTHER THING I'LL SAY ABOUT NORTHTOWN COMMUNITY IS, UM, I THINK WE WERE TOLD YEARS AGO THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID NOT SUPPORT NORTHTOWN.

AND SO I KNOW AS A TEAM WE MADE A COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT NORTHTOWN.

AND WE DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'VE DONE, BUT I KNOW OVER THE YEARS WE DO, UH, DONATE TO THE HALLOWEEN CANYON TRUNK OR TREAT, UH, WE FOR CHRISTMAS DONATE RAFFLE PRIZES.

I KNOW WE'VE GIVEN OUT SOCCER AND ANGEL TICKETS TO THE KIDS OF NORTHTOWN WHEN NEEDED.

UM, IN ADDITION, I KNOW WE'VE WORKED WITH DIFFERENT, UM, OUR CONGRESSMAN AND OTHER FOLKS TO GET THE MONEY FOR A FREEZER THAT THE NORTHTOWN COMMUNITY NEEDED.

WE ALSO DO TO TURKEY DONATIONS EVERY YEAR.

AND THEN THEY WERE ALSO A NONPROFIT THE YEAR WHEN JAMES RAMOS WAS OUR REPRESENTATIVE, THAT WE WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE KNEW WHAT NORTHTOWN WAS.

SO TO SAY THAT WE DON'T CARE ABOUT NORTHTOWN AND DOESN'T CARE WHAT THAT HAPPENS, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK AS A COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SHOW THEM THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

FIRST OF ALL, MATT, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THE STAFF FOR LISTENING TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS AND SHOWING THAT WE ARE RESPONSIVE TO WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING TO OUR ATTENTION.

AND THANK YOU TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR GOING OUT AND FOLLOWING UP ON THOSE CALLS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING EVERY SINGLE CONCERN.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE HERE FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE HAMILTON BREWERY.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS BUSINESS.

AND FINALLY, THANK YOU TO THE HAMILTONS AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS AND CONTINUING TO REACH OUT AND BE RESPONSIVE AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO WORKING WITH CAROL NORRIS AND NORTHTOWN.

AND I KNOW YOU DO THAT ANYWAY.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE AND WE ARE LISTENING AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS ON CERTAINLY WHAT WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS, BUT ALSO SHOW THAT WE ARE LISTENING TO THE RESIDENTS.

AND LISTENING TO THEIR CONCERNS AND TRYING TO ADJUST, UM, AS FIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON AND, UH, GO AFTER YOUR DREAM THAT YOU FIRST SOUGHT AFTER.

IF I MAY, UM, COMING FROM A BACKGROUND OF A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS MYSELF, UM, I KNOW THE SACRIFICES AND, UM, THE COMMITMENT THAT YOU MAKE AS A FAMILY, UH, TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS THRIVE AND GET OFF THE GROUND.

SO I WANNA COMMEND YOU BOTH, UM, FOR FACING THESE CHALLENGES HEAD ON AND LIKE MY COLLEAGUE SAID AS WELL, UM, BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND TRYING TO EXTEND, UH, LOVE AND MERCY TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND,

[02:10:01]

UM, I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN LISTENING, UM, MATT TO, TO YOUR REPORT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEAM AND, AND THEIR EFFORTS IN ALL OF THIS.

UM, BUT I THANK YOU GUYS FOR LISTENING, UM, TO THE DIFFERENT CONCERNS AND MAKING EVERY EFFORT THAT YOU HUMANLY POSSIBLY COULD, UH, TO MAKING THE PIVOTS AND MAKING THE ADJUSTMENTS ON YOUR END.

SO I JUST, I WANNA COMMEND YOU FOR THAT, AND I'M SURE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY GRUELING PROCESS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, UM, AS WELL.

UM, AND SO I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR, LIKE MY COLLEAGUE SAID.

AND THAT IS DEFINITELY NOTED.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD A POTENTIAL SUGGESTION, UM, BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD THE NEIGHBOR'S COMPLAINTS AS WELL, UM, THAT IF THERE IS POTENTIAL SHRUB THAT COULD BE POSSIBLY PUT UP AROUND THE PERIMETER TO MINIMIZE NOISES, UH, WHERE POSSIBLE.

AGAIN, I KNOW YOU HAVE, UH, ACQUIRED A LOT OF OBSTACLES ALONG THE WAY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE, UM, BUT MAYBE TO ALSO ACCOMMODATE MINIMIZING THE NOISES, UM, FOR, FOR THE NEIGHBORS AND THE SURROUNDING.

BUT AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RANCHO, UM, TO HAVE YOUR BUSINESS AND, UM, I COMMEND YOU FOR LIKE MY COLLEAGUE SAID FOR BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND DOING EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN, UM, TO BE THAT.

SO THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, MR. MAYOR? YES SIR.

IF I MAY, UM, MR. MARQUEZ, COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

NUMBER ONE IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAIN STREET IN AN AREA WHERE THERE'S SOME NO PARKING SIGNS, IS THERE ANY REASON THAT THERE WOULD OR WOULDN'T BE A RED CURB THERE? AND THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE WE GOT SEVERAL PICTURES FROM INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY, UM, THAT WERE HERE TO SPEAK TONIGHT THAT SHOW NO PARKING SIGNS WITH CLEARLY PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM.

AND SO I'M TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE AND MAYBE A RED CURB IS ONE THAT WOULD JUMP OUT AT PEOPLE A LITTLE MORE.

SO JUST KIND OF THE, SOME BACKGROUND THERE ON WHY THERE IS OR ISN'T.

YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THAT.

I KNOW, UH, OUR ENGINEERING SERVICES DIRECTOR IS HERE.

PERHAPS HE COULD ADDRESS THAT.

IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT ALSO, UM, LEADING UP TO OUR, OR AS WE GET INTO OUR SIX MONTH, UH, REVIEW, I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION.

WHILE JASON'S COMING UP HERE, YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS A NEW NORTH NO PARKING SIGN, UM, THAT WAS GONNA BE INSTALLED IN THE SOUTH AREA.

DO YOU KNOW IF THAT'S HAPPENED YET OR IS THAT STILL IN PROCESS? I BELIEVE IT HAS.

THAT SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE ACTUAL LAYOUT OF IT.

YES, MR. HUTCHINSON.

UM, I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION RIGHT AWAY.

I ACTUALLY SAW IT MYSELF THIS MORNING.

I DROVE BY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT HAD BEEN INSTALLED.

UH, AND WE ALSO REPLACED, UH, ALL OF THE EXISTING SIGNS THAT HAD FADED AND WERE WERE, UH, WORN OUT AND NEEDED, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OVER TIME.

UM, AS FAR AS THE RED CURB, WE GENERALLY AS A PRACTICE AS A CITY, DON'T PAINT RED CURB WHERE OTHER MECHANISMS ARE IN PLACE THAT ALREADY MAKE THE PARKING, UH, RESTRICTION ILLEGAL.

UM, FOR INSTANCE, WE DON'T PAINT RED CURB IN FRONT OF FIRE HYDRANTS BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY ILLEGAL TO PARK IN FRONT OF A RED HYDRANT, UH, FIRE HYDRANT.

THE ADDED, UM, PAINT FOR A RED CURB WALL WHILE SEEMINGLY MINOR, UM, INCREASES COST FOR MAINTENANCE LONG TERM AS IT PROLIFERATES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AND SO WE, WE HAVE A, AS A PRACTICE, NOT, UH, TRIED NOT TO EXPAND THAT, UH, RED CURB.

WE'VE ALSO FOUND THAT IF THEY'RE GONNA PARK IN FRONT OF A NO PARKING SIGN, THEY'RE GONNA PARK ON A RED CURB AS WELL.

AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S LIKELY NOT A, UH, UM, AN EFFECTIVE DETERRENT.

UM, BUT IT IS ONE WE CAN CONSIDER.

THOSE ARE GREAT POINTS.

I APPRECIATE YOU MAKING THEM.

I WOULDN'T BE PUSHING IT EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT WE'VE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE HERE COME AND, AND SEND US PICTURES WITH ISSUES RELATED TO PARKING IN FRONT OF DRIVEWAYS AND NO PARKING SIGNS BEING THERE.

AND SO I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WAY TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY JUST CAN'T DO THIS MOSTLY OUT OF THE RESIDENCE CONCERNS.

SO IF THAT CAN BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION, I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT IF YOU PAINT RED CURB ALL OVER THE CITY, THAT THAT COST WOULD BE EXTREME.

BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE HAVE AN ISSUE HERE THAT PROBABLY WARRANTS SOME MEASURE LIKE THAT.

AND SO I'D JUST LIKE THAT TO BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH COMING UP FOR A SOLUTION.

ABSOLUTELY.

THE AREA OF OUTDOOR SEATING THAT WAS USED IN EXCESS OF WHAT WAS ALLOWED, AND YOU HAD A, A SLIDE ON THERE THAT SHOWED THE SCHEMATIC, I THINK IT WAS ON THE STAFF.

IF YOU COULD FIND

[02:15:01]

IF YOU COULD JUST HELP ORIENT ME HERE ON WHERE THE AREA, YOU, YOU MENTIONED THE AREA OF THE, UH, THE EXTRA, THE EXTRA PATIO THAT WAS BEING USED WAS KIND OF TO THE RIGHT OF WHERE THE TABLES ARE RIGHT NOW.

IS THAT ACCURATE? CORRECT.

TO THE RIGHT.

NOW ORIENT ME IN THIS, WHERE IS MAIN STREET AND WHERE IS THE NEAREST ADJACENT THAT SIDE OF THE STREET HOUSING AND WHERE'S ARCHIBALD? UH, SO MAIN STREET IS, UH, I GUESS IF YOU TRAVEL UP FROM WHERE THOSE SEATING THAT SEATING IS.

AND SO MAIN STREET IS ACROSS THE STREET THOUGH, SO NORTH IS UP, SO NORTH IS UP? CORRECT.

SO THERE'S THE PARKING LOT AND THEN MAIN STREET IS ACROSS FROM THE PARKING LOT.

SO THE AREA THAT'S BEING USED OUTSIDE OF WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IS PROBABLY THE CLOSEST AREA WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE TO THE RESIDENTIAL ON THE EAST SIDE TO THE EAST.

CORRECT.

SO MAYBE KNOWING THAT SOME OF THAT AREA IS BEING USED, THAT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE CLOSEST TO SOME OF THE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE SHARED SOME OF THEIR CONCERNED CONCERNS ABOUT NOISE.

UM, WE CAN COME UP WITH AN ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM THAT MAYBE HELPS THAT.

AND THEN ANOTHER THING THAT I THINK IS THAT COUNCILWOMAN SCOTT BROUGHT UP AND COUNCIL MEMBER STICKLER, UH, BROUGHT UP THAT I THINK IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA IS TO SEE IF WE CAN CREATE SOME KIND OF SOUND BARRIER THERE IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THAT HELPS, UM, REDUCE THE NOISE THAT'S TRAVELING IN THAT DIRECTION.

BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM SOME CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS THAT THEIR PROPERTY THAT WHERE THEY LIVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF THEIR, UM, ONE, I THINK THE PERSON SAID THAT IT'S FOOTBALL THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

UM, MAYBE WE COULD FIGURE OUT A WAY HOW TO LESSEN SOME OF THE NOISE EVEN IF IT'S NOT COMING IN AT THE LEVELS THAT ARE INAPPROPRIATE.

AND I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S A REALLY, REALLY GOOD IDEA.

AND, AND I, AND I THINK THAT COUNCILMAN SCOTT MADE A GOOD POINT, LIKE EVEN IF THOSE LEVELS AREN'T, UM, SHOWING UP ON THE DEC METER TO BE OUTSIDE OF CODE, WE CLEARLY HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE PRETTY FRUSTRATED WITH IT.

SO MAYBE HAVING SOME KIND OF BUFFER THERE WOULD HELP WITH THE ISSUE.

AND SO I'M, I'M INTERESTED IN COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT MIGHT WORK AS FAR AS THAT GOES.

UM, SOME OF THE ISSUES WE'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE BEEN HERE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD NUISANCE, NOISE LEVEL, UH, OVERINDULGENCE, UH, PARKING TRASH, SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT I SEE, UM, I'VE SPOKEN ABOUT ALREADY, UH, UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME OF THE LATE NIGHTS MAYBE ARE THE HARDEST ON THE RESIDENTS, FINDING A BALANCE BETWEEN SEEING IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHORTEN THE HOURS OF WHICH THEY'RE OPENING, BUT NOT AT A PRICE THAT, UM, EXCEEDS THEIR THRESHOLD FOR PROFITABILITY.

UH, I THINK MR. HAMILTON SAID THAT'S MAYBE HE'S SOMETHING HE COULD LOOK INTO, AND ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO CREATE A LITTLE LESS NUISANCE FOR THE NEIGHBORS THERE WITHOUT CAUSING UNDUE HARM ON HOW MUCH MONEY THAT HIS BUSINESS MAKES AND HIS BUSINESS CAN SUSTAIN.

SO UNDERSTANDING THAT BALANCE AND SEEING IF THERE'S OPPORTUNITY THERE.

UM, UNDERSTANDING AND, AND I MIGHT ASK MY CITY ATTORNEY TO WEIGH IN ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, UH, HE HAS SECURITY THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S ON HIS PROPERTY.

IT SOUNDS LIKE MR. HAMILTON IS PRETTY LIMITED ON WHAT HE CAN DO ON A PUBLIC STREET, THOUGH, WHERE A LOT OF THESE ISSUES ARE HAPPENING IS OUR ONLY REAL ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM, UM, EXTRA PATROL PERHAPS BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ON THOSE AREAS.

BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE CHALLENGING TO ASK THE, THE BUSINESS OWNER TO TAKE ALMOST ANY ACTION ON A PUBLIC STREET.

WELL, THE SECURITY PRIVATE SECURITY GUARD DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ARREST OR TICKET, UH, A ROWDY RESIDENT, BUT THEY CERTAINLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THEM ALONG.

UH, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO CALL THE POLICE IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, AND IN FACT, THAT'S WHAT THE CONDITIONS COMMAND THEM TO DO, IS TO IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE POLICE IF THERE'S ANY UNRULY, UH, UH, CUSTOMER.

WELL THAT, THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.

THEN I THINK MAYBE ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE COULD BE, UM, HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR SECURITY TEAM AND SEEING WHAT WE CAN DO TO, UM, HAVE KIND OF EYES, I KNOW YOU CAN'T SEE EVERYTHING, BUT KIND OF I SOME OF THE EYES ON THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT ARE HAPPENING IN FRONT OF THEIR, UM, THEIR HOMES.

I THINK SPECIFICALLY SOME OF THE ONES THAT WE SAW WERE, UH, PICTURES OF, UH, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES THAT CLEARLY DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM, FROM HAMILTON'S.

AND IF WE CAN KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON THAT AND HAVE YOUR SECURITY PROACTIVELY CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UM, TO, TO DEESCALATE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AND, AND GET RID OF THEM.

I SEE THAT.

MAYBE YOU HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT.

I'LL SEE IF THE MAYOR WANTS TO RECOGNIZE A STATEMENT THAT, UH, OR LET HIM SPEAK ON ONE OF THE ISSUES I'VE TALKED ABOUT OR DO YOU WANT OR NOT RIGHT NOW? NO, YOU GO AHEAD.

UH, IF YOU WAIT JUST A MOMENT, MR. HAMILTON, YOU, YOU'RE THREE MINUTES ARE ABOUT UP

[02:20:01]

UH, I'M JUST KIDDING.

I, WHAT I'LL SAY IS THAT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE IS FIGURING OUT A WAY HOW TO DEESCALATE SOME OF THE TENSION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FIND SOLUTIONS THAT WORK FOR BOTH PARTIES.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHAT WE CAN DO.

AND THAT'S A REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT TASK.

AND SO THE BEST WAY THAT I CAN THINK TO DO THAT IS TO FIND THESE SUGGESTIONS THAT COME FROM SOME OF OUR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND SEE IF THEY'RE IMPLEMENTABLE IN A WAY THAT WORK FOR OWNERSHIP AND, AND WORK FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PUT US IN A BETTER POSITION THAN WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.

UM, I, I, I WANNA TOUCH BASE ON, ON A COUPLE THINGS AND I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND, AND, AND THANK YOU ALL WHO CAME OUT HERE TONIGHT.

I THANK YOU FOR STAYING HERE TO LISTEN TO THE COUNCIL, HAVE DIALOGUE.

I'M A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT'S LATE NIGHT AND, AND I I WISH YOU, SOME OF YOU THAT ARE LEFT COULD MAYBE PASS ALONG SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING ON TRYING TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN A BUSINESS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO FEEL THINGS ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AND THEY'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

UM, I, I DON'T, I TAKE, WE TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE ALLOWED THE HAMILTON FAMILY BREWERY TO MOVE FROM AN INDUSTRIAL AREA TO AN AREA THAT WAS ZONED FOR AND FOR THE ABILITY TO HAVE A BREWERY.

AND WE KNEW, WE HEARD THE PROTESTS AT THAT TIME, BUT WE FELT THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE.

AND, AND NOW WE JUST GOTTA FIGURE OUT SOME WAYS HOW WE CAN ALL GET ALONG BETTER TOGETHER.

UM, I'M, I'M PROBABLY THE THING THAT I'M MOST CONCERNED WITH IS THE, THE, THE, UM, MUP STATES THAT THERE'S A OUTDOOR PATIO OF 2,506 SQUARE FEET AND IT WAS ALREADY SHOWN UP ON THE SCREEN.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN MAYBE DO SOME BARRIER SO PEOPLE AREN'T SPILLING OVER, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT, UM, YOU'VE GOT AN OCCUPANT LOAD ISSUE.

AND AT THAT POINT YOU ALSO, IF IT'S SPILLING OVER BECAUSE IT'S A, A BIG SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME OR A SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME, OR THE PLAYOFFS THAT ARE GONNA BE COMING UP, THAT THAT, UM, WHEN WHEN YOU HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THAT AREA, THEN YOU RUN INTO THE ISSUE OF THE PARKING LOT NOT BEING, UH, ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WANT TO COME.

SO THEY'RE PARKING ON THE STREETS, UM, IN AND AROUND THAT AREA.

SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE STAFF WORK ON THAT ISSUE ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THE APPROVALS ARE NOT BEING EXCEEDED AS FAR AS OCCUPANT LOAD.

UM, AS FAR AS, UH, SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS ON MAYBE SOME, SOME BARRIERS, SOME JUNIPER TREES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT WOULD WORK BEST, BUT TO SOUND ATTENUATION, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

BUT I WANNA SEE, UM, I WANNA SEE SOME EFFORTS PUT FORTH TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO REASONABLY, BECAUSE YOUR SUCCESS IS, IS OUR COMMUNITY'S DESIRE.

UM, PEOPLE THAT COME, YOU'VE ALL SPOKEN TONIGHT, UM, YOU ENJOY THE PLACE, YOU ENJOY THE, THE, THE ATMOSPHERE.

YOU ENJOY THE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE.

UM, BUT ALSO HEARING THE RESIDENTS SPEAK, I, I, I REALLY HOPE THAT, AND I EXPECT THAT YOU WILL PROBABLY SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO, UM, TO, TO MAYBE TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO MAKE PEACE TO SOME DEGREE MORE THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY.

BECAUSE MY SENSE IS, IS THEY'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GONNA STILL HEAR THEM COME EVERY TWO WEEKS, AND AT SOME POINT WE JUST NEED TO, TO FINISH THIS OFF.

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT IF WE CAN DO THINGS NOW BEFORE RATHER THAN TO WAIT, IF THERE'S ABILITY TO DO SOME THINGS NOW THAT WE CAN DO, THAT'S FINE.

UH, I DON'T WANNA WAIT TILL MARCH NECESSARILY.

COMPANY TO SPEAK TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ON WHAT TYPES OF ACTIONS THEY CAN TAKE TO EXPEDITE RESPONSES TO THAT WOULD BE VERY GOOD PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UH, STAFF OBVIOUSLY HAS HEARD EVERYTHING THAT, THAT COUNSEL HAS SAID, MR. HAMILTON AS WELL, AND THE RESIDENTS THAT, THAT ARE HERE, UH, REMAINING HAVE, HAVE HEARD EVERYTHING AND, AND TAKEN, WE'VE TAKEN NOTE OF, OF COMMENTS.

SO WE'RE NOT CERTAINLY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL, UH, MARCH OKAY.

UH, TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.

WE INTEND TO CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS INTERNALLY AND ALSO WITH THE BUSINESS OWNER ALSO TO, UH, REVIEW WHATEVER INFORMATION COMES IN FROM THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THEIR CONCERNS.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROCESS AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS.

SO IT'S, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE INTEND TO, TO PUSH TO THE SIDE.

WE CONT WE, UH, INTEND TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS MOVING FORWARD.

AND I, AND I WOULD SAY AS FAR AS NOISE, I, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A REGULATION THAT SO MANY DECIBELS, BUT WHEN YOU'VE GOT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND YOU'VE GOT TVS GOING, UM, I MEAN, I HAVE A NEIGHBOR THAT THAT PLAYS MUSIC ALL DAY LONG, PRETTY LOUD SOMETIMES AND, AND IT'S WITHIN PROBABLY THE DECIBELS, BUT IT CERTAINLY CAN BE, CAN BE, UH, DISRUPTIVE FOR SURE.

AND MR. MAYOR, I'LL JUST ADD ON TO MY EARLIER COMMENT THAT IT MAY BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE, THE SECURITY

[02:25:01]

UM, SO WITH THAT, IS THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? ONE QUICK QUESTION I FORGOT TO ASK IS, UM, YOU SAID THERE WAS A LOT MORE EVIDENCE OF VIDEOS AND PICTURES THAT WERE AT THE A, B, C, UM, HEARING, AND THAT YOU HAVE ASKED MAYBE A PUBLIC RECORD REQUEST ON THOSE BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

'CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S SOME PHOTOS HERE THAT SAYS VIDEO PLAY VIDEO OR AUDIO.

AND SO I, WE CAN'T CLEARLY DO THAT.

AND SOME OF THESE PICTURES I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE.

SO IT'D BE NICE IF WE CAN KIND OF GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF LIKE, I SEE TWO PEOPLE ON A BIKE IN THE PARKING LOT.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN, BUT ARE WE GONNA GET THAT STUFF? AND HOPEFULLY YOU'RE GONNA SHARE WITH US, WE WILL GET AS MUCH AS WE CAN FROM, UH, A, B, C.

WE'RE CERTAINLY GONNA SUBMIT THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST.

I KNOW AT LEAST ONE OF THE RESIDENTS MENTIONED, UH, DURING HER COMMENT THAT SHE ATTENDS TO FORWARD, UH, INFORMATION, UH, IMAGES, VIDEOS, ET CETERA.

SO WHATEVER WE GET, WE'LL CERTAINLY SHARE.

AND ANOTHER THING, MAYBE, MAYBE YOU COULD LOOK, I KNOW I BELIEVE IT'S THE SECURITY, IF I REM REMEMBER CORRECTLY, 10 O'CLOCK IS WHEN SECURITY COMES ON THE PREMISES AT NIGHT.

I THOUGHT I READ, READ A THING WHERE SECURITY'S REQUIRED AT 10:00 PM UH, THEY HAVE SECURITY ON THE DAYS THAT THEY ARE OPEN PAST 10 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENINGS.

SO THAT MEANS WHEN THEY'RE OPEN PAST 10 O'CLOCK, THERE'S SECURITY, BUT BEFORE 10 THERE IS NO SECURITY.

I, I'M NOT CERTAIN, UH, WHAT TIME THEY START.

UM, ALRIGHT.

BUT I, I KNOW THOSE ARE THE DAYS THAT THEY HAVE SECURITY IN THE EVENINGS, YOU MAY TAB OKAY.

ABOUT 6:00 PM EXIT.

WE'RE OPEN AND THEY'RE THERE.

YOU NEED ANY FURTHER DIRECTION? THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

UH, NO FURTHER DIRECTION NEEDED.

ADVERTISE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

ALRIGHT, WE WILL MOVE ON NOW TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

DOES ANYONE NEED A BREAK BEFORE WE START THESE? LETS PUSH THROUGH.

YOU'RE GOOD.

ALL GOOD.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK .

WE'RE GONNA START NOW.

I'M GONNA TURN THIS OVER TO

[ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM(S) - CITY/FIRE DISTRICT]

ALYSSA, OUR CITY

[G1. Public Hearing for Consideration of a Resolution Adopting a General Plan Amendment to Amend the General Plan Land Use and Community Character Chapter related to Floor Area Ratio on Table LC-1 and Policies Relating to Block Lengths; Amend the General Plan Mobility and Access Chapter to add Dimension Standards for Street Typologies, Remove the Proposed 8th Street Trail and Amend the Truck Routes Map Pursuant to AB98; and Consideration of First Reading of Ordinances 1053 and 1054 to be Read by Title Only to Amend Municipal Code Table 17.130.050-1 to Update Floor Area Ratio and Ground Floor Use Regulations for Form Based Zones and Amend Municipal Code Section 17.138.030 Regarding Block Length for Form Based Zones and Amend Municipal Code Section 10.56.020 to Alter Truck Routes. An Addendum to the General Plan EIR Has Been Prepared for this Project. (RESOLUTION NO. 2025-102 AND ORDINANCE NOS. 1053 AND 1054) (CITY)]

MANAGER.

THANK YOU MR. MAYOR.

I WOULD NOW LIKE TO INTRODUCE JENNIFER NAKAMURA, OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR, WHO'S GONNA BE PROVIDING THE STAFF REPORT ON SOME GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS THAT WE NEED TO ADOPT BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR IN ORDER TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW.

GROUND FLOOR MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 15 FEET OF FLOOR HEIGHT IN NON-RESIDENTIAL OR MIXED USE AREAS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE, OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE ITEM FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT IS A CI CITY INITIATED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND A MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THESE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS.

IN DECEMBER OF 2021, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED AN UPDATED GENERAL PLAN FOR THE CITY TO BUILD ON OUR SUCCESS AS A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY.

THIS UPDATE ADDRESSED ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FACING THE CITY, INCLUDING DIVERSIFYING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, EXPANDING HOUSING AND MOBILITY CHOICE, AND PRESERVING THE CHARACTER HISTORY AND QUALITY OF LIFE THAT MAKE RANCHO CUCAMONGA A SPECIAL PLACE TO LIVE.

OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN, STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED AREAS WHERE SOME TECHNICAL UPDATES ARE NEEDED.

FURTHERMORE, CHANGES IN STATE LAW AND IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS SINCE THE PLAN ADOPTION HAVE FURTHER NECESSITATED THE NEED FOR THESE TECHNICAL UPDATES.

THESE UPDATES ARE LIMITED TO THE LAND USE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER AND MOBILITY CHAPTERS OF THE PLAN.

UH, AS STATED EARLIER, SOME MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS ARE ALSO BEING INCLUDED TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THESE CHANGES FOR CONSISTENCY PURPOSES AS PROPOSED.

UH, THE FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS TO THE LAND USE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER CHAPTER.

WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE, UH, NON-RESIDENTIAL INTENSITY FAR TO THE, UH, WE'RE GOING TO ADD THE WORD TARGET THROUGHOUT THE LAND USE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER CHAPTER.

SO THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT WAS BORN OUT OF A NEED TO CLARIFY THE INTENT OF NON-RESIDENTIAL INTENSITY RANGES FOR EACH LAND USE DESIGNATION.

AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS, WE'VE HAD MANY DEVELOPERS COME WITH EARLY ACTION REQUESTS TO POTENTIALLY REQUEST A MA MASTER PLAN FOR A REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL NON-RESIDENTIAL, UH, FLOOR AREA THAT'S REQUIRED IN MANY MIXED USE PROJECTS.

UM, AS WE'VE TALKED, UH, AS, UH, THE COMBINATION OF THESE REQUIREMENTS AND OUR CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT HAVE LED TO VIRTUALLY NO PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED, UH, AMOUNT OF NON-RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA.

UM, AND, UH, SO TO BETTER CLARIFY OUR DESIRE FOR AN ACTIVE PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED PUBLIC REALM, SPECIFICALLY IN OUR CORRIDORS AND CENTERS, WE'RE PROPOSING A TEXT UPDATE, UM, TO INCLUDE MORE SPECIFIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN WHICH THE

[02:30:01]

SO THIS POLICY WILL FURTHER CLARIFY THE LOCATION WHERE GROUND FLOOR MUST BE DESIGNED FOR COMMERCIAL OR RETAIL SPACES IN NEW DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, SPECIFICALLY PORTIONS OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND HAVEN AVENUE.

THIS PROVIDES DISCREET OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR HOW GROUND FLOOR NON-RESIDENTIAL SPACES SHOULD BE BUILT WITHOUT THE BURDENSOME FAR REQUIREMENT.

A ACCOMPANYING THIS, WE ARE PROPOSING CODE AMENDMENTS TO SUPPORT THESE CHANGES.

UM, AMENDING REFERENCES TO CLARIFY THAT FLORA RATIO IS NOW A TARGET AND ELIMINATING THE PARCEL BASED REQUIREMENT AND CLARIFYING THESE LOCATIONS, UM, CONSISTENT WITH THE, UH, PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS.

AFTER WORKING WITH OUR CODE AGAINST CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS, WE'VE ALL, WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING INCREASING THE MAXIMUM BLOCK LENGTH WITH A CAP ON BLOCK PERIMETER WITH ROOM FOR EXCEPTIONS AND A A LITTLE BIT OF ELASTICITY TO MATCH EXISTING STREET STANDARDS.

SO THIS ALLOWS NEW DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY ALONG OUR CORRIDORS ON FOOTHILL AND HAVEN TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE BLOCK LENGTH, UM, TO CREATE BETTER CONNECTIONS TO EXISTING STREETS AND BLOCKS, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY AROUND 500 TO 600 FEET BETWEEN SIGNALS ON FOOTHILL AND HAVEN.

AND THE CODE WILL BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THIS POLICY CHANGE AS WELL.

ANOTHER POLICY PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED FOR AUTO DEPENDENT USES, SUCH AS DRIVE-THROUGHS, GAS STATIONS, AND CAR WASHES, IS TO CLARIFY THAT THESE USES ARE NOT ALLOWED ON PEDESTRIAN PRIORITY STREETS AS THESE STREETS ARE SHOWN IN, IN FIGURE M DASH FOUR OF THE GENERAL PLAN.

THIS AGAIN, CREATES THAT CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE GENERAL PLAN AND THE DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE FINAL AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER CHAPTER IS REGARDING THE EIGHTH STREET TRAIL SHOWN ON THIS IMAGE AS THE GREEN DASH LINE.

THIS WAS A PROPOSED MULTIMODAL TRAIL ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING METROLINK TRACKS DESIGNED TO CONNECT THE CUCAMONGA TOWN CENTER ON THE WEST TO THE CUCAMONGA STATION IN THE EAST.

THE ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT HAS CONDUCTED A FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF ALL NEW TRAIL CONNECTIONS THAT WERE SHOWN IN THE GENERAL PLAN TO PLAN FOR FUTURE TRAIL DEVELOPMENT.

AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS TRAIL WOULD ONLY BE FEASIBLE WEST OF HAVEN AVENUE, PRIMARILY DUE TO EXTENSIVE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF HAVEN WHERE THE TRAIL IS PROPOSED.

THIS WOULD REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO PAY FOR ANY POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR THE TRAIL TO CONNECT IT TO CUCAMONGA STATION.

A COST EFFECTIVE ATTER ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE TO FOCUS ON EXISTING CIRCULATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE AREA TO ALLOW FOR MULTIMODAL USE TO CREATE THESE CONNECTIONS.

SO THE PROPOSED CHANGES WOULD REMOVE ALL REFERENCES TO THE EIGHTH STREET TRAIL FROM THE DOWNTOWN CUCAMONGA, A FOCUS AREA, HEART DISTRICT, CUCAMONGA TOWN CENTER, AND SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL FOCUS AREAS, AS WELL AS THE ACTION ITEM IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO CREATE THIS MULTIPURPOSE TRAIL.

IN ADDITION TO THE LAND USE CHANGES, CHANGES TO THE MOBILITY CHAPTER WERE REQUIRED AS WELL.

IN RESPONSE TO DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS ALONG FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND HAVEN AVENUE, THERE'S BEEN A NEED TO ESTABLISH SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION DIMENSION AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS ALONG THESE TWO STREETS.

THESE CHANGES NOT ARE NOT ONLY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALSO CONSIDERING THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF PLANNED BUS RAPID TRANSIT LINES.

AS PART OF OMNI TRANSITS WEST VALLEY CONNECTOR PROJECT ALONG FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND HAVEN AVENUE, THE DESIGN DRAWINGS PROVIDE A CORRIDOR CONFIGURATION, WHICH WOULD ACCOMMODATE FRONTAGE LANES WITH PARKING TO SUPPORT GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL USES, AS WELL AS FUTURE BUS RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE.

THESE NEW PAGE ADDITIONS TO THE MOBILITY AND ACCESS CHAPTER INCLUDE SCALE DRAWINGS FOR BOTH FOOTHILL BOULEVARD FROM HAVEN AVENUE TO ROCHESTER AND HAVEN AVENUE FROM FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, SOUTH SEVENTH STREET.

THE THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS IN GREATER DETAIL THESE ROADWAY CONFIGURATIONS.

THESE GRAPHICS REPRESENT IDENTICAL SECTIONS OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, ONE INCLUDING LANE MODIFICATIONS FOR BUS RAPID TRANSIT AND ONE WITHOUT, AND BOTH INCLUDE FRONTAGE LANE STANDARDS AND DIMENSIONS.

SO AGAIN, THESE FRONTAGE LANES ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE FUTURE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS WITH GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL USES MORE ACCESSIBLE AND CONVENIENT BY PLACING PARK ADJACENT TO THESE USES.

IN ADDITION, EACH ROADWAY TYPE HAS BEEN GIVEN A MAXIMUM RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH AS WELL AS DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS AND PREFERENCES FOR, UM, LANES, MEDIANS, AND SIDEWALKS.

ABSENT THESE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, SOME DEVELOPERS WERE SUGGESTING THAT THEY COULD PROPOSE THEIR OWN RIGHT OF WAY STANDARDS, WHICH MAY CONFLICT WITH THE DIMENSIONS OF THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY.

AB 98 MANDATES THAT CITIES EVALUATE THE PRESENCE OF SENSITIVE RECEPTORS SUCH AS SCHOOLS, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, CHILDCARE FACILITIES, HOSPITALS, HEALTHCARE OR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES, PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS, AND

[02:35:01]

RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN THE DESIGNATION OR MODIFICATION OF TRUCK ROUTES.

AS A CITY OF SPECIAL CONCERNS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED IN THE LEGISLATION, WE ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS ANALYSIS AND ADOPT OR UPDATE A REVISED TRUCK ROUTE MAP BY DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR.

ACCORDING TO AN ANALYSIS CONDUCTED FOR THE CITY, GIVEN THE LOCATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTICS AREAS THAT NECESSITATE DIRECT TRUCK ACCESS, IT IS NOT FEASIBLE TO COMPLETELY AVOID SENSITIVE RECEPTORS WHILE MAINTAINING GOODS MOVEMENT CONNECTIONS IN THE CITY.

THE CORRIDOR OF VINEYARD, AVENUE AND CAR, ALSO KNOWN AS CORNELIAN STREET, AND SECTIONS ARE DIRECTLY ADJACENT WITHIN 100 FEET TO SENSITIVE RECEPTORS ALONG APPROXIMATELY 70% OF THE TOTAL TRUCK ROUTE LENGTH.

SO TO LIMIT IMPACTS TO THESE SENSITIVE RECEPTORS, THE UPDATED TRUCK ROUTES MAP REMOVES THE CURRENT DESIGNATED TRUCK ROUTE ON CORNELIAN STREET SOUTH OF STATE ROUTE TWO 10 AS IT CURVES AND TURNS INTO VINEYARD AVENUE ALL THE WAY TO FOOTHILL BOULEVARD.

THIS IS REPRESENTED BY THE GRAPHIC HERE SHOWN IN RED.

THIS IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT FREIGHT MOVEMENT FROM CORNELIAN TO ARCHIBALD AVENUE AS THE CLOSEST DESIGNATED TRUCK ROUTE.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES CONSOLIDATE FREIGHT ACTIVITY RATHER THAN EXPANDING THE OVERALL FOOTPRINT OF TRUCK ADJACENT SENSITIVE RECEPTORS IN THE CITY.

IN ADDITION, WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MINOR TECH STATUS TO THE CHAPTER TO INTEGRATE THE RECENTLY ADOPTED CONNECT RC ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

UPDATED, PLANNED AT GRADE AND GRADE, SEPARATED CROSSINGS IN THE SOUTHEAST INDUSTRIAL AREA, AND UPDATE GOALS AND POLICIES TO INTEGRATE THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION STANDARDS AND PRIORITIZE SAFETY PROJECTS IN THE CITY.

THE CITY HAS REVIEWED THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS AGAINST THE GENERAL PLAN EIR AND DETERMINE THE EIR ADEQUATELY ADDRESSES ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AMENDMENT.

THESE AMENDMENTS, THE PROPOSED PROJECT DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY NEW SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT BASED UPON THE ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS PRESENTED IN THE GENERAL PLAN EIR.

AND THERE ARE NO NEW FEASIBLE MITIGATION MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT WOULD SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS, UH, IDENTIFIED IN THE EIR.

THEREFORE, STAFF HAS PREPARED AN EIR ADDENDUM FOR THE GENERAL PLAN AND ASSOCIATED BUS MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS.

IN ADDITION, SB 18 REQUIRES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONSULT WITH CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES, UH, FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS TO AID IN THE PROTECTION OF TRADITIONAL TRIBAL CULTURAL PLACES.

LETTERS WERE SENT TO THE LOCAL TRIBES ON AUGUST 29TH OF LAST YEAR, AND TRIBES WERE PROVIDED 90 DAYS TO RESPOND.

CLARIFYING QUESTIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM THE SAN MANUEL BAND OF MISSION INDIANS.

WE HAVE RESPONDED TO THOSE INQUIRIES AND, AND TRIBE, THE TRIBE CLOSED CONSULTATION.

NO OTHER TRIBES RESPONDED DURING THIS TIME.

THIS ITEM WAS ADVERTISED WITH A LARGE LEGAL AD IN THE INLAND VALLEY DAILY BULLETIN.

BUT BECAUSE THIS ITEM HAS A CITYWIDE IMPACT, NO INDIVIDUAL NOTICES WERE SENT.

THIS ITEM WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT AN ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 12TH OF THIS YEAR.

OKAY, I'LL TURN THIS OVER TO ALYSSA COX.

I JUST HAD A LITTLE, I THINK TIME IS GETTING OLD FOR .

UM, YES, I BELIEVE THIS IS OUR LAST ITEM.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING THERE.

UM, THIS NEXT ITEM IS A, UH, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

UM, AND THE PROJECT, UH, OH, AT, IN BET, I'M SORRY.

IT, IT IS GETTING LATE , UH, A PROJECT THAT IS AT VINEYARD, UH, TO THE EAST NINTH STREET TO THE NORTH AND BAKER AVENUE TO THE WEST.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE JOHN MCPHERSON, WHO'S GONNA PRESENT THE, THE ITEM AND PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE ENTITLEMENTS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION.

MR. MCPHERSON? THANK YOU MADAM CITY MANAGER.

UH, MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

IS A TOOL IN THE CODE WHICH, UH, THIS DEVELOPER HAS APPLIED FOR, UH, AND WHICH WOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH CERTAIN ASSURANCES WHILE PROVIDING THE CITY WITH CERTAIN COMMITMENTS FROM THE DEVELOPER, WHICH ENABLES THE CITY TO PLAN FOR AND FINANCE VARIOUS PUBLIC FACILITIES.

BEFORE I BEGIN, I DO WANT TO JUST PUBLICLY THANK ASSISTANT PLANNER JARED KNIGHT.

UNFORTUNATELY, HE COULDN'T BE HERE, UH, FOR THIS PRESENTATION, BUT HE WAS MY RIGHT HAND MAN IN COMPILING THIS REPORT, SO THANK YOU JARED.

UM, THE APPLICATION AS NOTED, UH, BY THE CITY MANAGER BEFORE YOU NOW IS A REQUEST FOR VARIOUS ENTITLEMENTS, UH, RELATED TO A PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THREE NEW SPECULATIVE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, UH, AND REHABILITATE AN EXISTING HISTORIC LANDMARK STRUCTURE KNOWN AS THE BAKER HOUSE.

HERE WE SEE A TIMELINE OF CRITICAL DATES.

UH, YOU'LL NOTE THAT THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN IN PROCESS FOR SOME TIME, UH, AND THAT MOST RECENTLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION BY A VOTE OF FOUR IN FAVOR AND ONE AGAINST VOTED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE PROJECT.

UH, THE FOLLOWING SLIDES DEMONSTRATE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE PROJECT SITE.

SO HERE'S AN AERIAL OF THE PROJECT SITE AND ITS SURROUNDING VICINITY.

AS NOTED, UH, IN THE STAFF REPORT HAS MENTIONED, THE PROJECT AREA IS BOUNDED BY NINTH STREET TO THE NORTH VINEYARD AVENUE TO THE EAST.

THE METROLINK AND BNSF TRACKS TO THE SOUTH AND BAKER AVENUE TO THE WEST, WHILE THE SITE IS CURRENTLY VACANT, EXCEPT FOR THE BAKER HOUSE AND A CELL PHONE TOWER, UM, BOTH OF WHICH WILL REMAIN PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT AREA HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN IMPROVED WITH VARIOUS COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, THE LAST OF WHICH WAS DEMOLISHED IN 2022.

YOU CAN CONSIDER THESE NEXT FEW IMAGES, KIND OF A VIRTUAL TOUR AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF YOU WILL.

UM, HERE'S MY ATTEMPT AT A PANORAMA OF THE SITE.

UH, LOOKING EAST FROM BAKER.

IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF A 45 ACRE PIECE OF LAND, BUT, UH, THESE ARE THE BEST SHOTS.

SO HERE'S A VIEW OF THE BAKER HOUSE.

UH, THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1952 AND IT WAS DESIGNATED AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK IN 2014.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT LATER ABOUT THAT.

UH, HERE'S A VIEW FACING EAST ALONG NINTH STREET.

UH, MOVING INTO THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

HAVING REVIEWED THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, WE NOW SEE THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

UH, AS NOTED, THE PROJECT INVOLVES A CONSTRUCTION OF THREE BUILDINGS, UH, TOTALING AROUND 980,000 SQUARE FEET OR SO OF NOTE.

UM, AND, UH, UH, JUST FOR CONTEXT, THE BAKER HOUSE PARCEL IS HIGHLIGHTED THERE IN YELLOW.

UM, THE, UH, THIS IS JUST TO LET THE COUNCIL KNOW WHERE THE BAKER HOUSE IS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT.

UH, STAFF NOTES THAT THE PROJECT IS COMPLIANT WITH ALL RELEVANT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

BUT ONE LITTLE CAVEAT THERE THAT THIS PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY DEEMED COMPLETE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO TO WHERE IT IS SUBJECT TO THE OLD SET OF INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS AND NOT OUR CURRENT INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS.

SO JUST TO MAKE A POINT OF THAT, UH, HERE WE SEE SOME COLORED ELEVATIONS, UH, WHICH ARE LARGELY REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL THE BUILDINGS PROPOSED ON THE SITE.

HERE'S A ZOOMED IN KIND OF BLOWN UP DETAIL OF THE OFFICE CORNER ELEMENT, WHICH IS, UH, SIMILAR THROUGHOUT ALL THE VARIOUS BUILDINGS.

AND HERE WE HAVE A LANDSCAPE PLAN.

I'M HAPPY TO GO BACK TO ANY OF THESE PICTURES IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

UH, GIVEN THE SIZE AND SCALE OF THE PROJECT, I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO EACH OF THE ENTITLEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED.

UM, UH, UH, WE COULD CIRCLE BACK IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I DO WANT TO PAUSE JUST BRIEFLY ON THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

AS THE COUNCIL IS AWARE, A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

[02:45:01]

UH, SOME TERMS OF THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, INCLUDE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEVELOPER'S COMMITMENT, UH, OF $2.5 MILLION TO REHABILITATE THE BAKER HOUSE, UH, TO, AND TO IMPROVE THAT TO A TENANT SHELL.

THE BAKER HOUSE PROPERTY IS PROPOSED BY THE DEVELOPER TO THEN BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY FOR FUTURE USE.

UM, UH, MOVING ON TO ACTUALLY KIND OF, UH, NOTE THE BAKKER HOUSE.

UM, AGAIN, IT WAS BUILT IN 1952.

A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE IS REQUIRED BECAUSE OF CERTAIN, UH, UH, MODIFICATIONS, IF YOU WILL, TO THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE ITSELF, WHICH INCLUDE, UH, REPOINTING EXISTING MORTAR, UM, UH, REPLACING THE CONCRETE SALES, UH, AND DOORS AND SO ON.

UM, UH, MOVING ON TO THE INTERDEPARTMENTAL REVIEW.

UH, ALL OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS HAVE REVIEWED THE PROJECT FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL NECESSARY STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS.

UM, ONE THING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT THERE ARE VARIOUS TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED, UH, INCLUDING SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION, A NEW, UH, UH, SIGNAL AT EIGHTH AND BAKER.

UM, AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE APPLICANT, THE DEVELOPER, HAS PROPOSED TO MAKE VOLUNTARY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE NINTH AND VINEYARD INTERSECTION.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE A LITTLE BIT LATER AS WELL.

UH, A LITTLE BIT MORE HISTORY ON THE PROJECT.

THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS I HAD MENTIONED.

MOST RECENTLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD, UH, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT.

UH, BUT TO BE CLEAR, THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN TWO NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS HOSTED BY THE DEVELOPER, ONE IN 2022 AND ONE IN 2024.

UH, THE PRIMARY ISSUES FROM THE COMMUNITY REALLY INVOLVED TRAFFIC AND A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS RELATIVE TO TRAFFIC.

THE, UH, DEVELOPER HAS MODIFIED THE PLAN A NUMBER OF TIMES TO WHERE NOW TRUCK TRAFFIC IS PROHIBITED ON BAKER AVENUE.

THE BAKER AVENUE ENTRANCES TO THE PROJECT SITE ARE LIMITED TO VE PASSENGER VEHICLES ONLY, AND THE DEVELOPER HAS ALSO AGREED TO HAVE A, UH, I SUPPOSE IT'S A LEFT IN AND RIGHT OUT AT THE NINTH STREET ENTRANCE IN ORDER TO PROHIBIT TRUCKS FROM ACCESSING THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST.

UH, THERE WAS AN EIR PREPARED FOR THIS PROJECT.

UM, PURSUANT TO CQA GUIDELINES, ALL OF THE STEPS WERE FOLLOWED.

UH, MOST RECENTLY THE FINAL EIR WAS SENT TO ALL AGENCIES AND

[G2. Public Hearing to Consider First Reading of City Council Ordinance No. 1052 to Approve Development Agreement DRC2022-00266 to be Read by Title Only and Waive Further Reading: to Consider a City Council Resolution to Adopt Design Review (DRC2019-00742), Tentative Parcel Map (SUBTPM20173), Conditional Use Permit (DRC2022-00009), and Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2019-00854) for the Development of Three (3) Concrete Tilt-up Industrial Buildings Totaling Approximately 982,096 Square Feet on Approximately 45.96 Net Acres Bound by Vineyard Avenue to the East, 9th Street to the North, Baker Avenue to the West, and the BNSF/Metrolink Railroad Line to the South; APN: 0207-271-25, -27, -39, -40, -89, -93, -94, -96, -97. An Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2019110456) was Prepared for the Project. (Primary Case File No: Design Review (DRC2019-00742). (RESOLUTION NO. 2025-101 AND ORDINANCE NO. 1052) (CITY)]

INTERESTED PARTIES WHO COMMENTED ON THE EIR.

UM, UH, ALL OF THIS DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW, UH, AS PART OF THIS STAFF REPORT.

UH, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS DOES CONCLUDE THAT EVEN WITH MITIGATION, THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS WITH THIS PROJECT.

SPECIFICALLY, THIS PROJECT WILL EXCEED OPERATIONAL NOISE THRESHOLDS IN THE EVENING AND NIGHTTIME HOURS.

UH, AND THE PROJECT IS LOCATED WITHIN 1000 FEET OF, UH, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE DO HAVE A POLICY IN OUR GENERAL PLAN THAT DISCOURAGES THAT, BUT DOES NOT OUTRIGHT PROHIBITED.

SO THAT WAS FLAGGED AND NOTED AS A SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACT.

AS A RESULT OF THIS, HAVING THIS PROJECT RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS, THE CITY COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO CONSIDER A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS, WHICH EFFECTIVELY TAKES THOSE IMPACTS AND ALSO, UH, ACKNOWLEDGES THE BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT.

UH, AND A DRAFT OF THAT STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS IS INCLUDED WITH THE STAFF REPORT AS ATTACHMENT FIVE, UH, ADVERTISED NOTICES WERE PROVIDED CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW.

AS NOTED HERE ON THIS SLIDE, IN RESPONSE, STAFF HAS RECEIVED A COUPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE, ONE FROM A RESIDENT AND ONE FROM A LAW FIRM REPRESENTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY GROUP.

UH, THESE CORRESPONDENCE WERE INCLUDED AND RESPONDED TO WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT.

ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE WAS RECEIVED TODAY FROM ANOTHER RESIDENT AS WELL AS FROM ANOTHER LAW FIRM.

THE RESIDENT EXPRESSED CONCERNS REGARDING RODENTS AND HAD QUESTIONS REGARDING A WALL TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROJECT SITE.

UH, STAFF WILL REACH OUT TO THIS RESIDENT, UH, BUT IN SHORT, THE PROJECT IS, UH, IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL RELEVANT ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATIONS AND CONDITIONS.

UM, REGARDING THE LETTER RECEIVED TODAY FROM THE LAW FIRM, THE THIS LETTER EXPRESSED SUPPORT, UM, AND IT WAS ON BEHALF OF THE WESTERN CARPENTERS UNION.

UH, THAT BRINGS US TO OUR RECOMMENDATION.

A COUPLE MORE POINTS.

UM, AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S GETTING LATE AND I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

UM, THE, UH, I DO WANNA POINT OUT THAT JUST THIS EVENING, CERTAIN TEXTUAL INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE RESOLUTION AND THE ORDINANCE WERE FOUND, UH, BY STAFF.

AND, UH, A REVISED RESOLUTION AND ORDINANCE RED LINED WAS PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

UH, THESE TEXT CHANGES GENERALLY INCLUDED THINGS LIKE CONFIRMING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDINGS BETWEEN THE TWO DOCUMENTS, CLARIFYING SQUARE FOOTAGE OF OFFICE AREAS, AND SO ON AND SO

[02:50:01]

FORTH.

UH, WITH ALL OF THAT STAFF, UH, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE REFERENCED RESOLUTION AND ADOPT THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE.

UH, CERTIFY THE EIR ADOPT THE FINDINGS AND THE MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM, AND ADOPT THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, UM, AS AMENDED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED EDITS.

WITH THAT, I CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

GADA.

I BELIEVE I, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE YOU, WE HEAR WHAT'S ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE WORKING CLASS.

MY NAME IS FRANKIE JIMENEZ.

I'M THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF IRONWORK LOCAL FOUR 16.

WE HAVE OVER 3,500 MEMBERS.

A LARGE NUMBER OF THEM LIVE IN THE ALIEN EMPIRE.

A LOT 'EM LIVE IN CUCAMONGA AS, AS MY PREVIOUS BROTHER HAD MENTIONED.

IN ORDER FOR US TO BE THERE TO BE THE PROVIDER FOR OUR HOUSEHOLD, WE WOULD LOVE TO WORK IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY.

WHY NOT? WE PAY TAXES HERE.

WE SHOULD WORK HERE.

AND WE'RE, WE'RE HAVING AN AGREEMENT HERE WITH THIS DEVELOPER WHERE HE IS ACTUALLY LISTENING TO US.

I GOTTA HAND IT TO ALL THE BLUE COLLAR WORKING CLASS.

'CAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO WORK IN LA VENTURA, SAN CLEMENTE.

IT WOULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL IF THEY COULD ACTUALLY GO HOME AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY.

I'M, WE ARE HERE IN SUPPORT OF A YES.

JOSEPH KEDO, I'M NOT SURE IF I PRONOUNCE THAT NAME CORRECTLY.

YOU CAN CORRECT THAT FOR THE RECORD, SIR.

IT'S JOSEPH KEDO.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS JOSEPH CASADA, UNION REPRESENTATIVE OF LABOR'S LOCAL 7 83.

WE REPRESENT THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY THAT LIVE IN THE RANCHER, CUCAMONGA, AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

WE ARE HERE TONIGHT AND SUPPORT THE VINEYARD AND NINTH STREET PROJECT.

THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW OUR MEMBERS WHO LIVE IN THIS, THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, TO WORK CLOSER TO HOME SO THEY CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND LESS TIME ON THE ROAD.

THIS PROJECT ALSO ALLOWS OUR MEMBERS TO GAIN A CAREER IN THE CONSTRUCTION FIELD, CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THEIR BENEFITS LIKE HEALTHCARE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND A PENSION IN HOPES ONE DAY IN RETIRING.

ON BEHALF OF LABOR'S LOCAL 73, WE URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

BRENDA VENEGAS, .

HI, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

I KNOW IT'S GETTING LATE.

UM, I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M A PARENT AND EDUCATOR IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I HAVE A DAUGHTER AT LOS AMIGOS ELEMENTARY AND A SON AT CUMA CUCAMONGA MIDDLE SCHOOL.

I'M ALSO THE ACADEMIC ADVISOR AT CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY IRVINE, THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA SITE.

UM, MY FAMILY HAS BEEN IN THE AREA SINCE 1993.

UM, I'M HERE TO FORMALLY OPPOSE THE CP LOGISTICS VINEYARD INDUSTRIAL PROJECT SCHEDULED FOR CONSIDERATION TODAY.

THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE TRUCK TRAFFIC, NOISE AND DIESEL EMISSIONS, NEGATIVELY IMPACTING PUBLIC SAFETY, AIR QUALITY, AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR NEARBY RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.

INCREASED CONGESTION AND HEAVY TRUCK ACTIVITY POSE CLEAR SAFETY RISKS TO PEDESTRIANS, CYCLISTS, AND LOCAL LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

UH, THE SCHOOL IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE.

UM, I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER THIS PROJECT AND INSTEAD PRIORITIZE FAMILY CENTERED USES SUCH AS PARKS, GREEN SPACES, BIKE TRAILS, OR RECREATIONAL, UM, AREAS THAT BETTER SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH.

OUR CHILDREN DESERVE AN AREA WITH LESS AIR POLLUTION AND MORE SAFE PUBLIC SPACES WITH THEIR HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT IN MIND.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

THAT'S OUR LAST PUBLIC SPEAKER.

SO, UM,

[03:00:01]

WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR THE APPLICANT.

SMITH.

THANK YOU SEAN, FOR YOUR, UM, PRESENTATION.

I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA MISS YOUR PRESENTATION, SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN WAITING OUT TO SPEAK AND BE HERE IN THE, IN THE, IT'S A LATE NIGHT FOR US AND FOR YOU TOO.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA THANK THE DEVELOPER FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, IF I UNDERSTOOD THE REPORT CORRECTLY, I DRIVE BY THIS, I LIVE NOT TOO FAR, SO I DRIVE BY THIS EVERY DAY.

AND SO I KNOW WHEN THE, UM, IT WAS THERE, IT WAS A BLIGHT, YOU GUYS TORE IT DOWN.

REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ZONED FOR, WHICH WAS IN THE EIGHTIES FOR INDUSTRIAL.

SO IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE THE 1980S.

BUT WITH THAT SAID, FOR THE PAST FOUR TO FIVE YEARS, THE IMPORTANCE OF, UM, AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS SIGNIFICANTLY, UH, INCREASED IN THE CITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE DISTRICT TOO.

AND WE'VE SEEN AS A COUNCIL, PROJECTS THAT ARE BUILT ON SPECULATIVE, UH, WITHOUT A CONFIRMED TENANT TYPICALLY DON'T CREATE JOBS THAT PAY ENOUGH FOR EMPLOYEES TO, UM, AFFORD LIVING IN THE CITY, AS WE'VE HEARD, WHICH IS WHY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DIFF WAS ESTABLISHED PROVIDING HOUSING OPTIONS FOR WORKERS AND LOW PAYING JOBS, ALLOWING THEM TO LIVE IN THE CITY INSTEAD OF COMMUTING.

YOU KNOW, WHEN LOOKING AT THESE PROJECTS, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE OVERALL BENEFIT IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND REGARDING THIS PROJECT, THERE IS NO COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MAKING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UH, CONTRIBUTION.

THE PRIMARY BENEFIT HERE, AND IF I'M LOOKING AT THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE MAY NOT RECEIVE THE INITIAL 30% PAYMENT FOR UP TO THREE YEARS.

AND DEPENDING ON THE TIMELINE FOR CONSTRUCTING THE BAKER HOUSE, THE REMAINING 70% MAY NOT BE PAID UNTIL THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.

I THINK WE AS A COUNCIL, AND SOME OF YOU WE'RE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, WE RECENTLY APPROVED THE COCA-COLA PROJECT, WHICH THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF HIRING LOCAL WORKERS AND PAYING LIVABLE WAGES.

THIS PROJECT HERE IS SPECULATIVE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO THE TENANT'S GONNA BE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GONNA MOVE IN.

WE ALSO CURRENTLY HAVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UH, PROJECTS IN NEED OF FUNDING.

WE KNOW THAT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

UM, AND I'M CONCERNED THAT IF WE WAIT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNDING, THE BENEFIT IMPACT OF THESE FUNDS WILL ESSENTIALLY BE REDUCED AND WE WILL NEED TO CONTRIBUTE MORE FUNDING, UM, FOR LESS HOUSING UNITS DUE TO THE RISING COST.

I ALSO HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY WILL BE, UM, AFFECTED BY THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE NOISE WITH THE BENEFITS MATERIALIZING AFTER THE FACT.

UH, MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO BEGIN SOME OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS UNTIL AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT IS COMPLETED.

AND IF THE PROJECT IS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE FULLY, UH, TENANT UPON OCCUPATION, THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING MAY NOT BE, UM, AVAILABLE IN TIME FOR INCOMING WORKERS.

SO WITH THAT, TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE PAID UP FRONT.

UH, I'LL THROW OUT A NUMBER AND SAY 45%, I DUNNO IF THAT'S POSSIBLE OR NOT, WITH A BALANCE REDUCED, UM, TO 25% AT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.

AND AGAIN, I JUSTICE ONLY BECAUSE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONTRIBUTION SEEMS TO BE THE PRIMARY BENEFIT OF THE PROJECT THAT WE ARE SPEAKING OF.

AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A RESPONSE TO THAT.

ANYONE YOU WANNA RESPOND TO THAT NOW OR THE DEVELOPER? WELL, I, I, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.

I MAY DEFER TO THE DEVELOPER.

MR. MAYOR, SIR, WOULD YOU MIND COMING FORWARD AND RESPONDING TO COUNCILMAN SCOTT'S REQUEST? THE ONLY THING I WOULD JUST START OFF WITH IS THAT THE, SO THE SCHEDULE IS CURRENTLY AS WRITTEN 30% PRIOR TO THE BILL BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE BAKER HOUSE, 30% PRIOR TO, UH, OR UPON SATISFACTION OF COMPLETION OF THE BAKER HOUSE, AND THEN 40% PRIOR TO THE FIRST BUILDING PERMIT FOR ONE OF THE BUILDINGS, ANY ONE OF THE BUILDINGS.

IT'S NOT COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.

WOULD YOU MIND REPEATING THE SPECIFIC QUESTION I CAN ANSWER FOR YOU BEYOND WHAT HE JUST SAID? I WAS CONFERRING WITH THE COLLEAGUE.

THE QUESTION WAS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO DO MORE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE PAID UP UPFRONT.

SO 45% UP FRONT WITH THE BALANCE REDUCED TO 30% AT THE, UM, COMPLETION.

IS IT, AS YOU INDICATED, THE BAKER HOUSE? IS THAT WHAT I CORRECTED ON? I'M ASKING FOR IS THE 30% AT, AT THE TIME THE BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED FOR THE BAKER HOUSE TO GO FROM 30 TO 45 AND THEN, UM, FROM 40 TO 25, UH, WHEN THE FIRST BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE PROJECT IS BUILT IS PULLED 40.

SO, OKAY.

SO, SO IT'S 30 TO 45% FOR THE FIRST, RIGHT? CORRECT.

AND THEN YOU SAID CORRECT FROM FROM 40 TO 25 FOR THE THIRD, THE SECOND, CORRECT,

[03:05:01]

UM, , UM, WOULD YOU ONE SECOND.

I, I APOLOGIZE.

DO WE WE OKAY WITH THAT AS A, AS PLAN? JAKE? I APOLOGIZE.

TAKE IT.

, WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

IT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD, MR. MAYOR.

DO YOU WANT ME TO ADDRESS THAT? SURE.

I, I'M YIELD TO JACOB.

I'M, I'M JAKE LEBLANC WITH THE APPLICANT.

UM, SO WITH, WHEN WE, UM, NEGOTIATED THE PERCENTAGES, UM, SO FOR US, UH, THE, THE PERCENTAGES THAT WE'RE PAYING NOW ARE EARLY, UM, BECAUSE TY, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY THEY SHOULD JUST BE REQUIRED UPON WHEN THE APPLICA OR WHEN THE, UM, PERMIT IS PULLED FOR THE ACTUAL BUILDINGS THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, FOR THE, FOR THE, FOR THE MAIN BUILDINGS.

SO I THINK WHAT WE'VE ALREADY, UM, HAVE HERE IS ACCOMMODATION, UH, IN PAYING IN, IN PAYING THE FEES EARLY.

AND, AND I, I, I UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST.

I JUST, FOR US, UM, IT'S, IT'S A TOTAL OF A $7 MILLION FEE.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PAYING UPON, YOU KNOW, UPON PULLING THE PERMIT FOR THE, FOR THE BAKER HOUSE.

JUST SO YOU SAID WE'LL TAKE IT, WAS THAT A YES, NO, THAT, THAT, NO, THAT, THAT'S, NO.

SO THE, HE, HE ASKED ME TO COME UP HERE AND SO NO, IT, IT'S, IT'S NOT A, YES.

IT'S JUST, I THINK, I THINK WHAT WE'VE ALREADY PROPOSED HERE IS AN ACCOMMODATION, UM, AND PAYING AND, AND PAYING THE FEE EARLY.

WHEN, WHEN IS FEES NORMALLY PAID? UH, THEY'RE TYPICALLY PAID WHEN THE, WHEN THE, UM, BUILDING PERMIT'S ISSUED.

SO, SO FOR INSTANCE, SO, SO ON THIS, WE HAVE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT BUILDINGS, RIGHT? WE'VE GOT THE BAKER HOUSE, AND THEN WE'VE GOT BUILDINGS, UH, ONE, TWO, AND THREE.

AND, AND BUILDINGS ONE, TWO, AND THREE ARE THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS.

AND SO AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE AGREED TO BUILD THE BAKER HOUSE BEFORE WE BUILT THE REST OF THE PROJECT.

UH, FOR US, THAT'S PRETTY DIFFICULT.

UM, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE INDUSTRIAL MARKET'S NOT IN THE BEST SHAPE.

AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THE CITY WAS CONCERNED THAT THE BAKER HOUSE WAS NEVER GONNA GET BUILT.

SO WE SAID, HEY, WE'LL WE'LL PEEL THAT OFF AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND BUILD THE BAKER HOUSE BY ITSELF, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA, THAT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS.

AND, AND SO WE SAID, OKAY, WE'LL DO THAT.

AND SO, UH, IT CAME UP KIND OF LATER IN THE NEGOTIATIONS, HEY, WE'D LIKE TO RECEIVE SOME, SOME OF THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE, UM, EARLY.

AND SO WE AGREED TO PAY, UH, 30% OF THE FEE UPON PULLING THE PERMIT FOR THE BAKER HOUSE, NOT FOR THE BUILDINGS.

AND, AND THEN, AND THEN HAVING THE, THE REMAINING, UM, 30% PAID OR THAT SECOND 30% PAID, UH, UPON COMPLETION, WHICH BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WHOLE PROCESS WILL PROBABLY TAKE A YEAR TO COMPLETE.

AND THEN THE BALANCE OF IT, YOU KNOW, UPON, UPON PULLING THE BUILDING PERMITS FOR, UH, THE, THE BUILDINGS THAT ULTIMATELY WILL MAKE US MONEY.

AND, AND SO WHEN I'M SAYING WE MADE AN ACCOMMODATION, UM, TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW, THESE FEES WOULD, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE PAID WITH ALL THE OTHER FEES, ALL THE OTHER IMPACT FEES UPON PULLING THE BUILDING PERMITS FOR THE, FOR, FOR THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS.

OKAY, I SEE.

SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING 60% 'CAUSE 30 WITH THE START OF BAKER AND ANOTHER 30 WITH THE COMPLETION BEFORE YOU EVEN START YOUR INDUSTRIAL.

SO WE'RE GETTING 60% OF OUR CORRECT.

AND, AND SO IDEALLY FOR US, UM, YOU WOULD GET 100% OF THE FEES IF THE MARKET, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, RIGHT.

IF YOU KNOW, SO, SO, SO IF, IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU KNOW, THE INDUSTRIAL MARKET, YOU KNOW, STARTS TO RECOVER FASTER, THEN IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR US WHERE WE PAID KIND OF ALL OF THE FEES, RIGHT? 'CAUSE THAT MEANT THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME MONEY ON THE OTHER BUILDINGS.

RIGHT.

BUT, BUT AS AN ACCOMMODATION, UM, AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S A NEED FOR THE, FOR THE, FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WE AGREED TO AN ACCELERATED SCHEDULE SET FORTH IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

THE ONE THING I WOULD NOTE IS THAT BY PAYING IT LATER, THE FEE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ANY INCREASES THROUGH, THROUGH THE ANNUAL CPI ADJUSTMENT FOR THE FEE.

AMOUNT OF TRUCK TRIPS THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE? UH, WE'D HAVE TO LOOK UP THAT NUMBER, MR. COUNCIL MEMBER.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? UH, I HAVE ONE OR TWO.

MR. MAYOR, WE HAD A RESIDENT COME AND ASK, AND THIS IS MORE OF A SEAN AND JASON QUESTION.

UM, UM, WITH CONCERNS ABOUT TRUCK, TRUCK, TRUCK TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION, CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT, AND, AND I GUESS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE IS BECAUSE THIS IS SPECULATIVE DEVELOPMENT, UM, DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATED

[03:10:01]

BUT WHAT I WOULD, WHAT I WOULD REITERATE WITH RESPONSE TO, AND I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT FROM THE, THE RESIDENT, UH, TO REITERATE AGAIN, WHAT I SAID EARLIER IS THIS DEVELOPER HAD, THROUGH THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, DESIGNED THE SITE SUCH WI WITH THE CONTEXT IN MIND THAT THERE'S RESIDENCES TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST.

UM, AND THEY HAVE MODIFIED THE PROJECT SUCH WHERE THE INTENT IS TO HAVE ALL OF THE TRUCK TRAFFIC, UH, GO AWAY FROM THOSE SENSITIVE NEIGHBORHOODS, IN PARTICULAR THE SCHOOL AND THE, THE, THE BAKER AND NINTH INTERSECTION.

SO, UH, IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT A SITE PLAN, THERE'S THE NORTH SOUTH DRIVE, WHICH, UH, UH, OFF OF NINTH STREET, UM, THAT WILL NOW BE A RIGHT OUT FOR TRUCKS.

SO THOSE TRUCKS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE A LEFT, UH, GOING WESTBOUND TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

CORRECT.

SO THEY'D GO EASTBOUND TOWARD VINEYARD.

AND THEN FURTHER ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROJECT, THE BAKER FRONTAGE, THE DEVELOPER, HAS OFFERED AND DESIGNED THE SITE SUCH TO PROHIBIT TRUCK TRAFFIC FROM THOSE DRIVEWAYS THAT WOULD BE LIMITED TO PASSENGER VEHICLES ONLY FOR EMPLOYEES AND SUCH.

UH, AND, UH, ON THE FAR EAST SIDE WITH VINEYARD, THAT WOULD BE THE PRIMARY IN AND OUT OF, UH, UH, INGRESS EGRESS FOR TRUCKS.

THAT IS MY QUESTION.

HAVE ONE PLEASE.

SEAN, YOU MENTIONED THAT THE IMPACT, THE NOISE WAS DURING CONSTRUCTION, OR IS IT GONNA BE ONGOING AFTER GOOD? YEAH, GOOD QUESTION.

THE, UM, ONE POINT OF, TO CLARIFY, UH, THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT, UNAVOIDABLE IMPACT BECAUSE THE CITY OF, FOR ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS FOR BOTH THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND THE CITY OF ONTARIO.

SO, UM, NOT TO GET TOO TECHNICAL 'CAUSE IT IS LATE, BUT THE, UM, THE NOISE THRESHOLD FOR THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA IS 60 DECIBELS.

THE, THE BASED OFF OF THE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS FOR THE NOISE ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE AS PART OF THE EIR, THE OPERATIONAL NOISE, UH, FOR THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN 10:00 PM AND 7:00 PM WHICH IS THE PM HOURS, UH, FOR OPERATIONAL, YOU'D THINK TRUCKS, THE, THE BEEPING AND BACKING UP OF TRUCKS AND SUCH ON THE SIDE AS PART OF THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESSES.

AND THE, THE PROJECT CAME IN AT 60.2 DECIBELS, SO SLIGHTLY OVER THAT THRESHOLD OF 60.2.

NOW, THE CITY OF ONTARIO HAS A DIFFERENT THRESHOLD BECAUSE THEY'RE A SEPARATE JURISDICTION.

I BELIEVE THEY'RE AT 45.

UM, SO THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT, IT, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXACERBATED PER THEIR REGULATIONS.

UM, BUT FOR RANCHO CUCAMONGA, IT IS A NOMINAL INCREASE OVER OUR THRESHOLDS.

AND YOU SAID AGAIN, THAT'S DURING BUSINESS HOURS OR THAT WOULD BE, UH, THAT WOULD BE DURING PM HOURS.

SO 10 P SEVEN TO 10:10 PM TO 10:00 PM TO 7:00 AM SO THE EXPECTATION IS THAT, OKAY, 10:00 PM TO 7:00 AM YES, MA'AM.

SO THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THESE BUSINESSES WOULD BE OPERATING 24 7.

AND THEN THE OVERRIDING CONSIDERATION YOU MENTIONED? YES.

SO THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS IS REQUIRED WHENEVER THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS.

AND THAT'S SIMPLY JUST A DOCUMENT WHICH MEMORIALIZES THE BENEFITS THAT THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN THIS CASE, SOME BENEFITS THAT ARE INDICATED IN THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS.

THERE'S A, A NOTE ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THE PROJECT IS ANTICIPATED TO BRING APPROXIMATELY 823 PERMANENT JOBS TO THE CITY.

UM, THIS WOULD EXPAND, UH, ESTABLISHED AND PLANNED INDUSTRIAL AREAS.

I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS A COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT, UM, UH, DOING SOMETHING ELSE WITH THIS PROPERTY.

BUT FOR A, A HISTORICAL NOTE, THIS HAS BEEN ZONED FOR INDUSTRIAL SINCE THE 1980S.

ANOTHER BENEFIT, WHICH IS LISTED IN THE STATEMENT IS THE REHABILITATION OF THE BAKER HOUSE, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS IS A REQUIREMENT IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, WHICH PUTS EVERYTHING OUT ON THE TABLE.

WE TALK ABOUT THE IMPACTS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE BENEFITS.

JUST TO PUT A WONDERER POINT ON THAT, THANK YOU.

SO THAT A STATEMENT OF ECONOMIC, A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS, THERE'S REQUIRED, ANYTIME THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACT FOUND IN AN EIR.

AND SO THAT'S, IT'S A DISCRETIONARY DECISION TO SAY, OKAY, NOTWITHSTANDING THESE IMPACTS, THERE ARE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, OR OTHER BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT THAT ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO MAKE THE FINDING THAT YOU'RE GONNA OVERRIDE THAT IMPACT.

BUT THE MITIGATION MEASURES STILL STAND AND THE PROJECT STILL HAS TO COMPLY WITH THE MUNICIPAL CODE IF THERE ARE ONGOING CODE VIOLATIONS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

AT ANY RATE, I'M THRILLED THAT YOU'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF RE REHABILITATING THAT HOUSE AND, AND PRESENTING IT, DEEDING IT BACK TO THE CITY FOR USE IN THAT AREA.

UM, I'LL JUST FIRST SAY I, I'M, I'M THRILLED THAT THE CITY DECLARED THE BAKER HOUSE HISTORICAL SITE.

UM, AND, AND JUST A MATTER OF OF, I'VE, I'VE VISITED THAT HOME MANY, MANY TIMES IN MY CAREER AS A FIREFIGHTER.

UH, IT WAS OWNED BY OUR FIRE CAPTAIN AND IT WAS BUILT BY THE SAME PEOPLE THAT BUILT THE CAS AND CLEAVER.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE, THE HEAVY TIMBERS AND STUFF.

BUT

[03:15:01]

FOR HOWEVER, WE DETERMINE THE BEST PLACE AND BEST THING, BEST OPERATION TO USE THAT FACILITY, WHETHER IT BE A COMMUNITY CENTER DOWN THERE OR SOME OTHER ACTIVITY.

UM, BUT I'M, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO ACCESS OFF OF BAKER.

YOU'VE, YOU'VE STATED THAT, SO WHEN THE TRUCKS LEAVE, THEY'RE ONLY, THEY, THEY'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE OUT ONTO, UH, VINEYARD AVENUE.

CORRECT.

THE TRUCK'S NOT GONNA COME IN AND OUT OF VINEYARD AVENUE ON NINTH STREET, JUST NINTH STREET ONLY.

AND NINTH STREET IS A, IS A, UM, IS A RIGHT HAND TURN RIGHT OUT.

SO THEN YOU GO TO VINEYARD AND THEN, THEN YOU'RE GONNA GO SOUTH ON VINEYARD, BECAUSE I, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT ON THE EARLIER AMENDMENTS, DEALT WITH NO TRUCK, NO TRUCKS ON IAN VINEYARD AND CORNELIAN.

SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO SOUTH TO THE 10 FREEWAY, I WOULD ASSUME.

UM, MR. MAYOR? YES.

UH, SO THE TRUCK ROUTE, THERE WILL NO LONGER BE A TRUCK ROUTE NORTH OF FOOTHILL.

RIGHT.

UM, ON VINEYARD AS IT TURNS INTO CORNELIAN.

UH, SO TRUCK TRAFFIC WILL PRIMARILY RUN SOUTH TOWARD THE 10, WHICH IS WHERE WE WOULD EXPECT IT TO GO BASED ON PROXIMITY.

IF THEY DO NEED TO GO TO THE TWO 10, UH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE, SAY, FOOTHILL OR ARROW OVER TO ARCHIBALD AND GO NORTH ON THE TWO 10.

AND THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FOR THE PROJECT INDICATED AS SUCH TOO.

EXCELLENT.

WELL, AT THIS TIME, PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AND THE COUNCILS ASK THEIR QUESTIONS.

SO I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025 DASH 0 1 0 AND INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NUMBER 10 52 AS AMENDED TO BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND WAIVE FURTHER READING.

SO MOVE SECOND.

AND JUST TO CONFIRM, THAT'S RESOLUTION 20 25 1 0 1 1 0 1.

DID I SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THAT? 0 1 0 .

OH MY GOODNESS.

THANK YOU, MR. CITY ATTORNEY.

UH, MADAM CLERK.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
