Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 26th day of February 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting on February 26, 2025, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a) The application is a proposed expansion to an existing temple including the development of eight buildings for the purposes of worship, living quarters, and related administrative or support uses for property located on a mostly undeveloped site located at 13938 DeCliff Drive; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-007 CUP DRC2021-00188 — Ling Yen Mountain Temple February 26, 2025 b) The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to the above- noted parcel) are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Existing Buddhist Rural Open Space (OS) Etiwanda Heights Temple Facility and General Open Neighborhood Conservation Space and Facilities Plan (EHNCP) OS North Rural Undeveloped Rural Open Space (OS) Etiwanda Heights Lane{ and General Open Neighborhood Conservation Space and Facilities Plan (EHNCP) OS Undeveloped Land General Open Space Flood Control Utility South and Residential and Facilities (OS) Corridor (R-FCIUC) with Neighborhood followed by Suburban Equestrian Overlay and Neighborhood Very Low Hillside Overlay per (N) Ordinance 628 within Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan followed by Very Low Residential — Etiwanda Highlands (14000 (VL-HC 14000 West Rural Undeveloped Rural Open Space (OS) Open Space (R-OS) and Land and General Open Flood Control Utility Space and Facilities Corridor (R-FCIUC) with (OS) Equestrian Overlay and Hillside Overlay Undeveloped Land, Rural Open Space (OS) Open Space (R-OS) and East a Water Tank, and and General Open Flood Control Utility Enright Ranch Space and Facilities Corridor (R-FCIUC) with (OS) Equestrian Overlay and Hillside Overlay c) The property is currently improved with an existing structure built in 1990 at a time when the subject property was under the jurisdiction of unincorporated San Bernardino County which totals approximately 6,600 square feet and which the applicant is currently using for office hours, group worship, and prayer services throughout the week; and d) The subject property was annexed from the County of San Bernardino into the City of Rancho Cucamonga in November 2020 and assigned a zoning designation within the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan (EHNCP); and e) The application proposes the development of eight buildings which would result in a total building area of 93,003 square feet as well as associated project improvements, including, but not limited to driveways and private access roadways, and utility infrastructure connection and expansion along Dawnridge Drive, Ambleside Place, and DeCliff Drive. Improvements have been conditioned to be installed as a part of the related Design Review Conditions of Approval (DRC2021-00187); and f) This application is in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map SUBTPM19720, for the subdivision of 77.39 acres of land into four parcels, Design Review DRC2021-00187, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2021-00189 for the removal of 46 non-native Eucalyptus and native western sycamore trees PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-007 CUP DRC2021-00188— Ling Yen Mountain Temple February 26, 2025 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting 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 use is in accord with the General Plan land use designation. Only limited types of development which are characterized by the limited presence of buildings and other development are permitted within open space land use designations. The project is consistent with this in that the design of the project involves a cluster of buildings in a campus- like setting which comprises the expansion of an existing facility which has been in operation since approximately 2005. Notably, while the area to be developed totals approximately 35 acres, the balance of the total approximate site size of 77 acres will remain natural and undeveloped; and b) The proposed use is consistent with the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan (EHNCP) in which the site is located. The proposed Project is consistent with Section 5.9.4.F of the EHNCP, which establishes criteria specific to assembly uses within the subject regulating zone of the EHNCP; and c) The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The project is compliant with all relevant development standards and has been reviewed by staff to be consistent with all relevant standards related to access and public safety. The project site is well suited for the proposed expansion and development as it is located in a Specific Plan and is bordered by sites similarly zoned for hillside developments and open space; and d) The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan (EHNCP) and Development Code and is compatible with neighboring properties. Upon approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit, the proposed use is compliant with permitted uses within the subject zone; and e) The proposed use, 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 project has been reviewed to be compliant with all relevant development standards, including Fire Department regulations, and is not anticipated to be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. Further, the project, and the proposed use thereof, is required to comply with all relevant development standards which regulate the proposed use of the site; and f) The area is already adequately served by existing fire stations, and no new or altered facilities would be needed to serve the allowed land uses with the EHNCP area. As presented, Project-related impacts to Public Services including fire, police, schools, libraries, and parks, would be less than significant with conformance to GPU policies. Therefore, Project impacts related to public services are less than significant PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-007 CUP DRC2021-00188 -- Ling Yen Mountain Temple February 26, 2025 g) The design of the proposed Project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The General Plan Update (GPU) Environmental Impact Review (EIR) considered implementation of Specific Plans, such as the EHNCP. The EHNCP implements the GPU for the portion of the Planning Area where the project site is located. Environmental review and analysis associated with the streamlined Consistency Analysis and Checklist pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has demonstrated that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment 4. The City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a comprehensive update to the City's General Plan (GP) and certified a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) on December 15, 2021. Pursuant to Section 15183(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines, "if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards ... then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact." The 35.1-acre property (Parcel 3) is designated by the City's General Plan land use designation and the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan (EHNC-SP) zoning designation, which allows for the expansion and development of the proposed temple worship facility. Therefore, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required for the proposed project. To demonstrate that no subsequent EIR or environmental review is required, a CEQA Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum dated January 202, was prepared by an environmental consultant hired by the City (EPD Solutions, 2024) (Exhibit D - CEQA Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum). Staff evaluated this memorandum and concludes{ that the project is within the scope of the EIR adopted and certified as part of the City's GP on December 15, 2021, upon the project's compliance with all conditions of approval. The project will not have any significant effects not discussed in the GP EIR, nor have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. The proposed project involves the involves the subdivision of 77.39 acres of land into four parcels, with parcel three proposed for the expansion and development of the existing temple worship facility. Staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 26TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2025.
