h. In addition to the Design Review, the project application includes a request
for a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Developmeny Code Section 17.20.030.D, which
establishes that the approving authority for industrial buildings over 75,000 square feet is
the City Council; and
i. Pusuant to Development Code Section 17.14.060, which establishes that
when ap roject requires more than one permit with more than one approving authority, all
project permits shall be processed concurrently and final action shall be taken by the
highest -level designated approving authority for all such requested permits, which in this
case is the City Council; and
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above -referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan in which the site is
located. The underlying General Plan designation is Neo-Industrial Employment District
which encourages industrial uses with buildings featuring modern designs. The proposed
project is to construct a warehouse/distribution building totalling 86,194 square feet
consisting of one office space, one mezzanine space, and warehouse area. The building
design features a modern design with window glazing and a combination of perforated and
matte black panels; and
b. The proposed project is in accord with the objective of the Development
Code and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located in. The purpose of the Neo-
Industrial Zone is to support a complementary mix of uses such as, research and
development, light and custom manufacturing, engineering and design services, etc. This
zone encourages light industrial activities with low environmental impacts and supports the
growth of creative industries, incubator businesses, and innovative design and

manufacturing. Although, no specific use or tenant is currently proposed for the building at
this time, the development of this building will accommodate industrial uses in the future;
and
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions
of the Development Code. The proposed development complies with all standards outlined
in the Development Code, including building and parking setbacks, average landscape
depth, floor area ratio, parking, dock and storage area screening, landscape coverage, site
planning, and architecture; and
d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity. The potential land uses that would be associated with this
project are consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the
expectations of the community. The zoning of the property and all properties surrounding
the subject property is Neo-Industrial (NI) zone.
4. The Planning and Econominc Development Department staff has determined that
the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15332 - In -Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the
project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable
General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2)
the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than
five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a
habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not
result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5)
the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Neo-
Industrial Empolyemnt District and Neo-Industrial zone, respectively, which permits the
development and operation of a warehouse/distribution building of the proposed size and
configuration. Although the subject site is approximately 5.2 acres, a portion of the site
(48,188 square feet) will not be utilized or developed due to the existence and proximity of
utility easements (Southern California Edison and County Flood Control). Therefore, the
applicant has provided technical studies that defend the use of a Class 32 CEQA
Exemption as the developable area is less than 5 acres. The project complies with the
City's development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot
coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits and is
surrounded by existing industrial development and City infrastructure. The following are the
four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project,
respectively, qualifies for the Categorical Exemption:
a) Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening
Analysis (Dudek, May 2023) was prepared for the project which determined that
the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact.
The proposed warehouse distribution use will create an estimated 148 daily trips
(or 218 passenger vehicle equivalent trips), with 21 AM peak hour trips and 23 PM
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 23-13
DRC2022-00156— PATRIOT PARTNERS
June 28, 2023
Page 5
peak hour trips occurring on atypical weekday. The Project would generate a low
number of daily traffic and peak hour trips and would not cause a measurable
operational effect on local roadways. In addition, the Project would not generate
250 or more new daily trips (both for actual vehicles and passenger car equivalent
vehicles).
b) Noise: A Noise and Vibration Analysis Report was prepared for the project. The
analysis determined that the construction and operational noise levels would not
exceed the City's noise thresholds and no mitigation measures were necessary.
c) Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (Dudek, May 2023), emissions
generated during construction and operation of the Project would not exceed
South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD's) significance
thresholds. Similarly, the emissions would also not exceed the localized significant
thresholds, carbon monoxide hotspot, or toxic air contaminant significance
thresholds for sensitive receptors during construction. It was determined that the
project would not exceed screening levels established by the California Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
d) Water Quality: The project includes an engineered stormwater drainage system
designed consistent with these requirements, as well as those set forth in the
Water Quality Management Plan prepared for the Project.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning and Economic Development
Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment,
concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4
above, this Commission hereby recommend the City Council approve the project subjectto
each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions
incorporated herein by this reference.
The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

f. Structural infiltration BMP treatment shall not be used at sites that are known to have soil and
groundwater contamination.
g. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any water
supply wells.
h. The vertical distance from the bottom of any infiltration structural treatment BMP to the historic high
groundwater mark shall be at least 10-feet. Where the groundwater basins do not support beneficial
uses, this vertical distance criteria may be reduced, provided groundwater quality is maintained.
i. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause a nuisance or pollution as defined in Water
Code Section 13050.

Standard Conditions of Approval
45. NONRESIDENTIAL MANDATORY MEASURES — CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS
CODE — Prior to the issuance of any building permit the applicant shall comply with Section 5.106.1
(Storm water pollution prevention) of the current adopted California Green Building Standards Code:
Newly construction projects and additions which disturb less than one acre of land shall prevent the
pollution of stormwater runoff from the construction activities through one or more of the following
measures:
5.106.1.1 Local Ordinance — Comply with a lawfully enacted stormwater management and/or erosion
control ordinance.
5.106.1.2 Best Management Practices (BMP) — Prevent the loss of soil through wind or water erosion
by implementing an effective combination of erosion and sediment control and good housekeeping
BMP.
1. Soil loss BMP that should be considered for implementation as appropriate for each project include,
but are not limited to, the following:
a. Scheduling construction activity.
b. Preservation of natural features, vegetation and soil.
c. Drainage swales or lined ditches to control stormwater flow.
d. Mulching or hydroseeding to stabilize disturbed soils.
e. Erosion control to protect slopes.
f. Protection of storm drain inlets (gravel bags or catch basin inserts).
g. Perimeter sediment control (perimeter silt fence, fiber rolls).
h. Sediment trap or sediment basin to retain sediment on site.
i. Stabilized construction exits.
j. Wind erosion control.
k. Other soil loss BMP acceptable to the enforcing agency.
2. Good housekeeping BMP to manage construction equipment, materials and wastes that should be
considered for implementation as appropriate for each project include, but are not limited to, the
following:
a. Material handling and waste management.
b. Building materials stockpile management.
c. Management of washout areas (concrete, paints, stucco, etc.).
d. Control of vehicle/equipment fueling to contractors staging area.
e. Vehicle and equipment cleaning performed off site.
f. Spill prevention and control.
g. Other housekeeping BMP acceptable to the enforcing agency (City of Rancho Cucamonga).

Grading Section
Standard Conditions of Approval
46. NONRESIDENTIAL MANDATORY MEASURES — CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS
CODE — Prior to the issuance of any building permit the applicant shall comply with Section 5.106.10
(Grading and paving) of the current adopted California Green Building Standards Code:
Construction plans shall indicate how site grading or a drainage system will manage all surface water
flows to keep water from entering buildings. Examples of methods to manage surface water include, but
are not limited to, the following:
1. Swales.
2. Water collection and disposal systems.
3. French drains.
4. Water retention gardens.
5. Other water measures which keep surface water away from buildings and aid in groundwater
recharge.
Exception: Additions and alterations not altering the drainage path.
47. DESIGN ISSUE: This project does not meet the requirements for a grading permit, nor a non -priority
water quality management plan. The small scale site plan shown on the set of plans prepared by
does NOT meet the drainage requirements around the structure of the current adopted
California Residential Code. The City of Rancho Cucamonga recommends that during the preparation
of the drawings for the building permit, the applicant retain the services of a professional civil engineer
to design proper drainage meeting the current adopted California Building and Residential Code
requirements.
48, DESIGN ISSUE: the preliminary water quality management plan Site and Drainage Plan is showing
cubic feet of required Design Capture Volume (DVC) of storm water to be treated. A
preliminary review of the capacity of the proposed storm water structural treatment device (BMP)
appears to be less than DVC. The Final Project -Specific Water Quality Management Plan shall meet
the requirements of the San Bernardino County Technical Guidance Document for Water Quality
Management Plans of the current adopted Municipal Separate Storm Sewers Systems (MS4) Permit
for the treatment of storm water.
49. Prior to approval of the final project -specific water quality management plan the applicant shall have a
soils engineer prepare a project -specific infiltration study for the project for the purposes of storm water
quality treatment. The infiltration study and recommendations shall follow the guidelines in the current
adopted "San Bernardino County Technical Guidance Document for Water Quality Management Plans".
Note: As this project has been previously graded and the site soils have been compacted for building
pads and parking lot purposes, the use of the Custom Soil Resource Report for San Bernardino County
Southwestern Part by the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation
Service for natural soils is not acceptable for soil groundwater infiltration rates.
