D. Public Hearings
D1. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS – ETIWANDA HISTORICAL SOCIETY – A request
to rehabilitate the front porch of the Chaffey-Isle House, a historic landmark, by replacing the
wood flooring with composite decking within the Very Low (VL) Residential Zone, located at 7086
Etiwanda Avenue; APN: 1089-071-26. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing
Facilities and Section 15331 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation (DRC2025-00040).
Assistant Planner Lee presented a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). She mentioned the
applicant is considering using a double processed wood and it would not require a Certificate of
Appropriateness. However, today we are considering the alternative material (Trex) as a potential
option.

Principal Planner McPherson noted that staff identified a last-minute typo in the resolution, which
incorrectly listed the City of Rancho Cucamonga as a co-applicant. The error has since been
corrected, and the redlined version is available on the dais.
Chairman Morales opened the public hearing.
Applicant Marsha Banks spoke about the history of Chaffey-Isle House and expressed her
preference for the material to be used in the restoration of the porch.
Commissioner Daniels asked how many visitors do they get at the house.
Applicant Banks responded that they have been unable to open to the public since before COVID,
due to the City-issued red tag because of the damaged porch. Although, they do offer a combined
package for visitors to see the Chaffey-Garcia House, they can walk up the street to see the
Chaffey-Isle House, with groups of up to 20 visitors on a good day.
Chairman Morales asked applicant how the replacement board was selected and what process
was used to choose it.
Jim Banks, who works closely with the contractor, explained that the alternate material was
chosen because it closely resembles the original boards. He said they are seeking approval from
the Commission to use this alternate material. He added that if approval for Tex is granted, they
would have the option to use either the double processed wood or Trex. He mentioned the double
processed wood is more expensive.
Chairman Morales asked how long the double processed wood will last.
Jim Banks replied that his contractor indicated it would be in close competition with the Trex
material.
Commissioner Diaz asked to confirm that the porch is not original to the actual home.
Applicant Banks confirmed.
Etiwanda Historical Society Member Perdew stated that although not original, the porch has been
an integral part of the house for over 100 years. She expressed that either of the two wood options
would be suitable.
Applicant Banks reiterated that restoring the porch will not cost the city, as they have remaining
funds from a grant.
Chairman Morales closed the public hearing.
Principal Planner McPherson provided the following for clarification:
1) The applicant proposed an alternate material for the porch deck currently which is the Trex
decking. He said if the applicant now prefers to go with wood material, of which the
applicant expressed recently, that is fine but to be clear, approving the Trex option tonight
does not prevent the applicant from moving forward with the wood material if they so
choose.
2) The lease agreement between the city and Etiwanda Historical Society stipulates the
maintenance of the structure is at cost to the Etiwanda Historical Society.

Commissioner Dopp stated the applicant makes a compelling case for considering an alternate
use with material closest to the original. He expressed he is not 100% happy with the Trex option
but said he is in favor of approving the Certificate of Appropriateness given the financial
circumstances and given the relative closeness of the materials.
Commissioner Daniels stated that he has no issues with using Trex as the replacement material.
He mentioned that it feels and looks like wood, and the extended lifespan it offers is a positive
aspect.
Commissioner Diaz expressed gratitude for their volunteerism and advocacy, she knows
volunteering in a group like this takes a lot of work. She had reservations about the wood, but
understands flexibility is needed. She said a major goal of the Commissioners is preserving this
site along with other Historical landmarks in the city but along with that a foundational goal for
organizations like theirs is to get as many people as possible to see this site and learn about the
house.
Chairman Morales stated the applicant did a good job in finding a replacement like item material.
He has seen the good work they do in keeping up the buildings for the historical part of our city
and expressed his support for the item.
Vice Chairman Boling stated he also sees the benefit in identifying similar materials for use. He
acknowledged that the wraparound porch was not part of the original design, but it was added in
the early 1800’s and is worth preserving. He emphasized the importance of sourcing materials
as close to the original as possible and installing them in a similar fashion. He expressed
concerns about the coloring, noting that the porch is entirely white, but there are different shades
of Trex material, and he strongly encouraged considering the closest match. He also raised
concerns about Historical Preservation, specially about moving away from using like-for-like
materials. He pointed out that as repairs and replacement occur over time, substituting original
materials with something similar could lead to further deviation from the original design with each
replacement cycle. He urged the Historical Society to keep this in mind moving forward.
Motion: Moved by Commissioner Diaz; seconded by Vice Chairman Boling to adopt Resolution
HPC 2025-001, Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2025-00040, with the correction to the
resolution deleting the city as the applicant. Motion carried 5-0.
E. General Business
E1. Consideration to Receive and File the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report and the
Housing Element Annual Progress Report.
Management Analyst Estrada presented a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file).
Commissioner Daniels expressed that staff did a very good job on the report. He said the format was
very easy to read.
Vice Chairman Boling commended staff for their excellent work on the progress report. He
acknowledged the stakeholders who played a key role in achieving the General Plan and Housing
Element. These individuals are recognized, but not limited to, the following:
•City Council for providing and setting policy direction.
•Colleagues on this Commission for helping ensure the Council policy guidance is adhered to
as development projects come forward.
•City staff for their diligence in working with developers, property owners and businesses.

•All of the various categories of developers and applicants who have chosen to invest in the
City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Commissioner Diaz referenced the Housing Element quantities, noting that the average for the 8-year
period is 1,316 per year, of which we have constructed 642. She mentioned that we are halfway to
the goal, but it is her understanding that the target of 10,525 units is an ambitious one, and she would
expect the 1,316 per year target to be similarly challenging. She inquired whether achieving half of
that goal would be considered acceptable.
Planning Director Nakamura provided a detailed explanation.
Commissioner Daniels asked how the four income categories for the ADUs were determined.
Management Analyst Estrada explained how the four income categories were established.
Vice Chairman Boling stated that the RHNA numbers handed down from Sacramento are difficult to
justify. He emphasized that, as an organization, we need to be careful in the language we use when
discussing these numbers with the public. He pointed out that it has been mentioned several times
that the 642 units constructed or completed is what we built by the city. However, no units have been
built by the city. He noted that there are few numbers that city staff, elected officials, or appointed
officials have direct control over. The 10,525 units were given to us by Sacramento, and the 1,316
units are simply a mathematical calculation. He explained that this organization plans for zones and
allows for the potential development of those 10,525 units or more, but that does not guarantee
applications will come in for that level of development. Even if that number of units is applied for, it
does not mean any units will be constructed. He expressed frustration that the people in Sacramento
are imposing unrealistic numbers on municipalities and then threatening action if cities do not meet
their goals. The idea of holding cities accountable for not meeting those numbers seems
unreasonable. He praised the nearly 50% success rate as exceptional and cautioned everyone to be
careful with how they present these figures – reminding everyone that the city does not build the units;
we zone and plan for them, but the market ultimately drives what happens, and we do not control the
market.
Commissioner Dopp concurred with Vice Chairman Boling. He expressed that staff did a great job in
keeping our pro-housing designation going and that certainly means something.
Vice Chairman Boling expressed that staff did a great job in telling the City’s story.
Chairman Morales expressed his relief that our city is not among those fighting the issue, as he often
reads about in the news, because such efforts incur unnecessary costs and lead to consequences.
He also shared his pride in the staff and the city for performing better than other cities and being
recognized by the state for our commitment to doing the right thing.
With no other comments, Commission received and filed report.

DATE:April 9, 2025
TO:Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM:Jennifer Nakamura CNU-A, Planning Director
INITIATED BY:Claudia Vargas, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – FLORA BUNDA – A request to operate
a home décor wholesale, distribution and warehouse facility within an
existing 105,858 square foot industrial building within the Neo-Industrial
(NI) Zone, located at 8545 Pecan Ave; APN:0229-171-02. This item is
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under CEQA Section 15301- Existing Facility (Conditional Use
Permit DRC2024-00289)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution for the approval of
Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00289 with the attached conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND:
On February 12, 2020, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 20-15 approving a
request for site plan and architectural review of a warehouse distribution building.
Following this approval, a timely appeal (DRC2020-0076) was submitted on February 20, 2020.
The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on March 18,2020, but continued the hearing
to its April 15, 2020, meeting. On that date, the City Council reopened the public hearing
conducted deliberations, and adopted Resolution 2020-025, denying the appeal and upholding
the Plannings Commission’s decision. A second timely appeal (DRC2020-00162) was submitted
on April 23, 2020, but was withdrawn later that day.
At the time of these approvals, the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code did not require a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for wholesale, distribution and warehouse uses. However, on May
26, 2021, the City adopted Ordinance 982 amended the Municipal Code to require a CUP for
such warehouses exceeding 50,000 square feet.
The applicant, Flora Bunda, previously operated their business at 9528 Richmond Place, in
Rancho Cucamonga. Due to business expansion, they are relocating to a larger industrial building
to accommodate their operations. The applicant is therefore requesting approval to operate the
subject wholesale, warehouse and distribution facility within an existing industrial/warehouse
facility totaling 105,858 square feet within the Neo-Industrial (NI) Zone, located at 8545 Pecan
Ave. The site is approximately 4.75 acres, is generally rectangular in shape, and is developed
with an industrial building, a parking lot, and landscape improvements along Pecan Ave. The
applicant is not proposing any exterior modifications, alterations, or improvements. Staff notes
that any proposed signage will be under a separate permit. The site is adjacent to nonconforming

single-family homes to the north and is surrounded by various industrial uses, as shown in Figure

ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Flora Bunda, proposes to operate a home décor wholesale, distribution, and
warehouse facility in excess of 50,000 square feet within an existing industrial building. No exterior
modifications to the site or building footprint are proposed. The project consists of an interior
tenant improvement, including the construction of office space, storage areas, and a mezzanine-
level showroom area for product display.
Warehouse enhancements will include the installation of racking systems, material handling

equipment, and upgraded lighting to improve operational efficiency and safety. The showroom
will be utilized for the storage and display of product samples for photography, sample fulfillment,
and proposal review. The showroom will not be open to the public.
The primary use of the facility will be distribution and warehousing, with incoming shipments of
home décor items, including artificial plants, planters, frames and other decorative accessories.
The items will be received, inspected and stored within the warehouse. The facility will also
process and fulfill orders from retail partners and e-commerce platforms. Operations are
anticipated to run from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and is projected to employ
approximately 25 employees on site. The business expects 5 to 10 daily delivery trucks, handling
both incoming and outgoing shipments.
Development Code Section 17.32.020.H.19 defines “Wholesale and Distribution, Medium” as a
wholesale and distribution of finished goods, including distribution facilities of large-scale retail
firms and occupying greater than 50,000 square feet of building space. The use is permitted within
the Neo-Industrial (NI) zone upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Development
Code Section 17.20.060(Conditional Use Permit) state that the Planning Commission is the
approving authority for Conditional Use Permits.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Neo-Industrial
Employment District and Neo-Industrial Zone, respectively, which permits the operation of a
proposed wholesale distribution center of the proposed size and configuration.
Parking
Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.64.050 (Table 17.64.050-1) of the Development Code,
the parking requirement for this project is calculated based on the designated office, showroom,
and warehouse floor areas. The project is required to provide a total of 92 vehicle parking spaces,
including passenger vehicles and truck trailers, allocated as follows:
Parking Ratio Required

1:4,000 for the Remaining SF
42 Spaces 42 Spaces
Total Vehicle Parking 92 Spaces 92 Spaces
Trailer Parking 1 per Dock High Door 10 Spaces 10 Spaces
The proposed parking meets the required parking standards and is not anticipated to result in any
significant parking impacts. Additionally, the use is not expected to conflict with the parking needs
of adjacent properties or businesses.
Public Art
Per Section 17.124.020A of the Development Code, public art requirements do not apply to
Conditional Use Permits. They are applicable only to Site Development Review, Minor Design
Review, or Design Review applications that meet specified criteria. As such, the Conditional Use
Permit is exempt from the public art requirement.

Environmental Assessment
The Planning Department staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15301 – Existing Facilities Project which included the leasing of an existing private structure and
facility. There is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the
environment.
Correspondence
This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to 355
property owners within a 1,500-foot radius of the project site on March 24, 2025. To date, no
comments have been received regarding the project
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project site is currently assessed an annual property tax, a portion of which is shared with
the City. In addition, the project will impact the City’s revenue through business license taxes and
potential sales tax. The business license tax is calculated for wholesale operations based on
gross receipts. The proposed use is estimated to create 25 direct jobs, including warehouse staff,
logistics personnel and administrative roles. Additionally, the project may create indirect
employment opportunities in related industries such as transportation and local services, which
will contribute to the local economy through increased consumer spending and business activity.
Combined with Business License tax revenue and potential sales tax contributions, the project
will have a positive fiscal impact on the City.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
General Plan Goal LC-3.10 encourages business and development that will support and/or
enhance the operations of existing businesses when complimentary to the General Plan Vision,
while discouraging new development and business that will have detrimental impacts to existing
businesses and development. The proposed business will continue to support our premier
community status by proposing a business that is complementary to the surrounding land uses
and that will provide employment opportunities for City residents and the region. The project will
fulfill the City Council’s goal of intentionally embracing and anticipating our future by continuing to
support well-developed warehouse distribution business in the City.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2024-00289, A REQUEST TO
OPERATE A WHOLESALE, DISTRIBUTION AND WAREHOUSE
FACILITY WITHIN AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
TOTALING 105,858 SQUARE FEET WITHIN THE NEO-
INDUSTRIAL (NI) ZONE, LOCATED AT 8545 PEACAN AVENUE;
AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THERE OF APN:0229-
171-02.
A.Recitals.
1.The Applicant, Susan Song, on behalf of Flora Bunda, filed an application for
Conditional Use Permit DRC2024-00289, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter
in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2.On the 9th day of April 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 public hearing on April 09, 2025, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The project site consists of approximately 4.75 acres of developed land and is
located at 8545 Pecan Avenue; and
b. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site
and adjacent properties are as follows:

Page 2
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 use is consistent with the general plan designation, Neo-Industrial
Employment (NI) District, which encourages industrial uses with minimum impact and to support
the growth of these businesses. The site is developed with an existing industrial building, parking
and landscaping improvements. A warehouse, wholesale and distribution facility will have minimal
impact on adjacent uses and properties as the conditional use permit will support the continued
growth of an existing business. The operation of the facility will take place indoors and the loading
and off-loading of trucks will take place within the designated area behind the building. The use
is consistent with the general plan.
b. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and purposes
of the applicable zone as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations and standards.
A warehouse, wholesale and distribution facility is allowed in the Neo-Industrial (NI) Zone upon
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The use is consistent with the zoning designation and
development code in that the use does not propose any expansions or modifications which will
not result in any new development; the existing building located at the site, within which the use
will be located, is compliant with all relevant development standards. Conditions of approval
included with the project will further ensure that the project will not result in any adverse impacts
to other surrounding uses. The site is not subject to any specific plans.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being
proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make
conduct of the use undesirable. The site is improved with an existing industrial building including
access and circulation, parking, structures, utilities, and landscaping. No changes are proposed
to the site except for associated tenant improvements and signage which may be proposed under
a separate permit. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit will not result in any physical constraints
that may impede the operation of the existing surrounding land use nor the proposed land use.
Therefore, the project site is well-suited for the use.
d. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the use would be
compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including transportation and
service facilities. The warehouse, wholesale and distribution facility will operate entirely within an
existing building and will not operate beyond the project parcel nor onto the property of adjacent
uses. The intensity of the use is not expected to exceed the intensity of adjacent uses.
e. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the
vicinity in which the project is located. The scale and operation of the use is similar to adjacent
uses and will not negatively impact the normal operations of any of the surrounding uses. The
use has been conditioned to meet performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance standards
and all other Municipal Code standards to mitigate any potential impact related to the warehouse
distribution facility. As such, the use is not anticipated to cause property damage or nuisances
arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination, nor is the use anticipated to create

any hazards to persons or property from possible explosion, contamination, fire, or flood caused
by the use, nor is the use anticipated to significantly increase the volume of traffic or negatively
affect the pattern of traffic.
f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on City services, including
police, fire, streets and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current level
of service due to the use. The use does not pose any undue burdens in that it will occupy an
existing building and will not require additional service from streets and utilities which do not
already exist. The use does not authorize any operations which may result in additional service
requests from Fire or Police that are not normally associated with similar adjacent existing uses.
g. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As described below in Section 4, the project qualifies as a
Categorical Exemption under State CEQA Guidelines 15301.
4. The Planning 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 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Exiting Facilities
Projects which includes leasing of existing private structures and facilities. The Conditional Use
Permit will authorize the use of a wholesale, warehouse, distribution facility within an existing
structure.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Neo-Industrial
Employment District and Neo-Industrial zone, respectively, which permits the operation of a
wholesale, warehouse distribution facility of the proposed size and configuration with a conditonal
Use Permit. The project complied with the City’s development standards and design guidelines,
including setback, height lot coverage, and deisgn requriements. The project site is located within
the City limits and is surrounded by existing industrial development and City infrastructure.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption,
and based on its own independent judgement, concurs in the staff determination of exemption.
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
below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 9TH DAY OF April 2025.

TO:Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM:Jennifer Nakamura, CNU-A, Planning Director
INITIATED BY:Jared Knight, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: ZONING MAP AMENDMENT – CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA – A
request to change the zoning map designation of two parcels addressed
9750 and 9720 7th Street from Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-
SC) to Neo-Industrial (NI), to correct an inconsistency with the General
Plan Land Use Map. This project qualifies for a statutory exemption under
State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b) (3), as the proposed zoning map
amendment will not have any direct impact on the environment. APNs:
0209-211-68, 0209-211-69
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City
Council approve a Zoning Map Amendment to change the zoning of the subject parcels from
Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1 – SC) to Neo-Industrial (NI).
BACKGROUND:
The approximately 2.16-acre project site consists of two parcels which are improved with two
existing industrial warehouse buildings with a combined total square footage of 42,050 feet. These
buildings are part of the larger Scheu Distribution Center logistics development, which also
includes the two buildings located to the immediate east of the project site. An ariel view of the
subject parcels is provided in Figure 1.

On January 17, 2024, the City Council approved Ordinance 1023, which approved various
amendments to the development code and zoning map. One of the changes made through these
amendments was the establishment of the Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SC) zone,
intended to transition previously industrial areas of the Southwest Cucamonga area towards
commercial and residential uses, while allowing for select existing auto repair uses to remain.
This was one of the zones that implement the Traditional Town Center General Plan land use
designation.
When the new zoning map was drafted to include the Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga zone,
the subject parcels were inadvertently included among those properties that were to be rezoned
from Neo-Industrial (NI) to Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga. This error resulted in the subject
parcels being noncompliant with their General Plan Land Use designation of Neo-Industrial
Employment.
The existing land uses, General Plan, and zoning designations for the project site and surrounding
properties are as follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Site Scheu Distribution Center Neo-Industrial
Employment District
Center 1 – Southwest
Cucamonga (CE1-
SC)*
North Cucamonga Valley Water
District Traditional Town Center Center 1 – Southwest
Cucamonga (CE1-SC)
South Business Center Neo-Industrial
Employment District Neo Industrial (NI)
East Scheu Distribution Center Neo-Industrial
Employment District Neo Industrial (NI
West Business Center Traditional Town Center Center 1 – Southwest
Cucamonga (CE1-SC)
* This zone is not consistent with the General Plan land use designation
ANALYSIS:
The application, initiated by the City, is to amend the Zoning Map to change the subject parcels’
zoning designation from Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga to Neo-Industrial, reversing the zone
change for these parcels which occurred when Ordinance 1023 was passed. This change would
bring the subject parcels back into compliance with the General Plan Land Use Map. There is no
development or redevelopment proposed in relation to this application.
Public Art
A condition of approval requiring the Scheu Distribution Center to provide public art as outlined in
Chapter 17.124 of the Development Code was applied to the project at the time of approval and
has been fulfilled. As the proposed zoning map amendment does not include any new
development, no further public art is required.
Environmental Review
State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b) (3) states that where it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,
Page 25
Page 3 of 3

4
the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed zoning map amendment is intended to revert
the subject parcels to a previous zoning designation that is consistent with the current general
plan. The subject parcels are already developed and there is no new development associated
with the proposed zoning map amendment application. Therefore, the proposed amendment will
not have any significant or direct impact upon the environment and is exempt from CEQA by
statute.
Correspondence
18 notices were mailed to property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site on March
18, 2025. On March 19th, 2025, notices were published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and
posted at the subject site. To date, planning staff have received no comments or inquiries
regarding the proposed amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As the proposed Zoning Map Amendment is not connected to any new physical development,
there is no direct fiscal impact associated with the project.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
The proposed amendment achieves the City Council’s Core Values of “Working together
cooperatively and respectfully with each other, staff, and all stakeholders” and “Relentless pursuit
of improvement”. By proactively addressing this zoning error and restoring the subject parcels to
their original zoning map designation, the city will be fostering trust and promoting and good
working relationship with local stakeholders

d. This amendment changes the zoning designation of the subject parcels from
Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SWC) to Neo-Industrial (NI); and
e. The existing General Plan Land Use Map designation for the two subject parcels
is Neo-Industrial Employment District; and
f. There is no new physical development or site improvement associated with this
application.
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 amendment is in conformance with the General Plan goals,
policies, and implementation programs. The existing General Plan Land Use Map designation for
the subject parcels is Neo-Industrial Employment. The subject parcels were rezoned in error to
Center 1 - Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SWC) as part of a previous ordinance (Ordinance 1023)
approved in 2024. Prior to the passage of Ordinance 1023, the subject parcels were zoned Neo-
Industrial (NI), consistent with the existing General Plan Land Use Map designation. Thus, the
proposed amendment will correct a discrepancy between the General Plan Land Use Map and
the Zoning Map.
b. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The
proposal is for the amendment only which will revert the subject parcels to a previous zoning
designation to be consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation. Further, the
proposed action does not include any additional development of the site and all existing buildings
will remain in their existing condition, thus the proposed Zoning Map Amendment will not be

or improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183
Compliance Memorandum, together with all written and oral reports included for the
environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no
substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment based
upon the findings as follows:
a. The Planning Department has determined that the Project is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, where it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The application is for a
Zoning Map Amendment only, with no new physical development associated with the proposed
amendment. Therefore, the proposed amendment will not have any specific impacts on the
environment.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the draft ordinance, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

ORDINANCE XXXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ZONING MAP
AMENDMENT DRC2025-00044, A REQUEST TO AMEND
THE ZONING MAP DESIGNATION OF 2 PARCELS
LOCATED AT 9750 AND 9720 7TH STREET FROM
CENTER 1 – SOUTHWEST CUCAMONGA (CE1-SWC) TO
NEO-INDUSTRIAL (NI), IN ORDER BE CONSISTENT WITH
THE GENERAL PLAN. APN: 0209-211 -68, -69
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. The City of Rancho Cucamonga (the “City”) is proposing to update the
official Zoning Map to address zone changes for the properties located on property
addressed 9720 and 9750 7th Street, APNs: 0209-211 -68 and 0209-211 -69, generally
located on the northeastern corner of Archibald Avenue and 7th Street. .
B. The City has prepared Zoning Map Amendment DRC2025-00044, as
described in the title of this Ordinance, to implement the zone changes. Hereinafter in
this Ordinance, the subject Zoning Map Amendment is referred to as the “application” or
“Amendment.”
C. The City is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution
and laws of the State of California.
D. The project site consists of two parcels with a combined size of
approximately 2.16 acres, which are improved with two existing industrial warehouse
buildings with a combined total square footage of 42,050 square feet.
E. This amendment changes the zoning designation of the subject parcels
from Center 1 – Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SWC) to Neo-Industrial (NI).
F. On April 9, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a noticed continued public hearing with respect to the amendment
and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted Resolution No. 25-10 recommending that
the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt said amendments.
G. On XXX, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a
noticed public hearing on the amendment and concluded said hearing on that date.
H. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
SECTION 2. Ordinance.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
Page 31
2
A. Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set
forth in the Recitals, Section 1, of this Ordinance are true and correct.
B. Findings.
1) Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council
during the above-referenced public hearing, this Council hereby finds and concludes that
the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan goals, policies, and
implementation programs. The existing General Plan Land Use Map designation for the
subject parcels is Neo-Industrial Employment. The subject parcels were rezoned in error
to Center 1 - Southwest Cucamonga (CE1-SWC) as part of a previous ordinance
(Ordinance 1023) approved in 2024. Prior to the passage of Ordinance 1023, the subject
parcels were zoned Neo-Industrial (NI), consistent with the existing General Plan Land
Use Map designation. Thus, the proposed amendment will correct a discrepancy between
the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map.
2) The Zoning Map Amendment will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity. The amendment will only revert the subject parcels to a previous zoning
designation to be consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation.
Further, the action does not include any additional development of the site and all existing
buildings will remain in their existing condition, thus the Zoning Map Amendment will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, nor will it be materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3) The Amendment identified herein has been processed, including, but
not limited to, public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law,
including the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
C. CEQA. The City finds that the Project is exempt from environmental review
pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The application is for a
Zoning Map Amendment only, with no new physical development associated with the
proposed amendment. Further, the zone changes are intended to ensure consistency
with the General Plan, thus no change in the baseline environmental conditions because
the General Plan is the highest authority of land use planning within the City. Therefore
the application will not have any specific impacts on the environment.
D. Determination on Zoning Map Amendment DRC2025-0044. Based on the
findings set forth in this Ordinance and the totality of the administrative record before it,
the City Council hereby approves Zoning Map Amendment DRC2025-0044 as set forth
in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
E. Zoning Map Amendment. The City Council hereby amends the official
Zoning Map reflecting the amendments set forth in Exhibit A.
Page 32

F. Severability. The City Council declares that, should any section,
subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any
reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance,
and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof,
irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions,
sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
G. Enforcement. Neither the adoption of this Ordinance nor the repeal of any
other Ordinance of this City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of
ordinances, which violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor be
construed as a waiver of any penalty or the penal provisions applicable to any violation
thereof.
H. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective thirty (30)
days after its adoption, and shall be published or posted as required by law.
I. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance
and shall cause it to be published in the manner required by law.
