3. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20708 as a part of the application and makes the following findings
pursuant to the Subdivisions Code Section 16.16.100 in support of the recommendation:
a. The proposed subdivision, together with its provisions for its design and
improvements, is consistent with the General Plan. The proposal is to subdivide a property with an
area of approximately 2.3 acres of land located into 50 numbered lots, for condominium purposes,
for the development of 50 multi-family residences including 10 live/work units. The underlying
General Plan designation is Neighborhood Corridor which allows for and encourages infill development
with a mix of land uses.The designation is intended for the development of multi-family residences with
a maximum density range of 24 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project has a density of 22
units per acre.The proposed development, 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.
4. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Design
Review DRC2024-00108 as a part of the application and makes the following findings pursuant
to the Development Code Section 17.20.040 in support of the recommendation:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan land
use designation is Suburban Neighborhood Low, which permits the development of multi-family
residences with a density range of 8-14 units per acre.The project is for the development of multi-
family residences with a density of 14 units per acre; and

b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The project site is within the Medium (M)
Residential District which permits the development of multi-family residences; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.The project complies with each of the requirements of the Development Code
except for the minimum required lot size as described in the staff report and for which is
determined to be existing non-conforming pursuant to Development Code section 17.62
Nonconforming Uses and Structures; and
d. 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.
5. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Minor
Exception DRC2025-00055 as a part of the application and makes the following findings pursuant
to the Development Code Section 17.16.110 in support of the recommendation:
a. The proposed development is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of
the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The General
Plan designation of the project site is Neighborhood Corridor, and the zoning of the property is
Neighborhood General 3 (NG3). The Minor Exception does not affect the General Plan
designation, zoning designation, or the residential purpose of the project site; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses
in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception for reduced setbacks will not result in substantially
larger units or buildings, an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to the
physical lot area of the site; and
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or
accommodate unique site conditions.The proposed setback still provides adequate distance from
the adjacent property owners and does not compromise the design of the dwelling nor the overall
project. The portion of the units that will encroach into the setback with the minor exception is the
stairway and a closet space which contributes to the interior use and design of the units; and
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity.The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct and access third floor living
space and still allow for adequate distance beyond the first and second floors of the attached end
units. This exception does not compromise the required setback of the overall buildings which will
remain in compliance with the interior side yard setback. The development will be consistent with
the standards and guidelines of the City. The setback reduction is unlikely to impact public
health, safety, or welfare.

6. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Master
Plan DRC2024-00109 as a part of the application and makes the following findings pursuant to
the Development Code Section 17.22.020 in support of the recommendation:
a. The proposed master plan is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives
of the General Plan. The project furthers the vision of the General Plan and the Neighborhood
Corridor land use designation which encourages infill development with a mix of uses. The
proposed residential and commercial land uses will complement and be compatible with the
surrounding area's character, comprising residential, retail, office, and commercial uses. Project
development would also help implement and further several goals and policies of the Rancho
Cucamonga General Plan, including the ability to provide complete places (LC1 .1), ensuring the
quality of public space (LC-1.3), and the provision of compatible development (LC-1.11). The
additional housing units will also assist the City in reaching its State housing Regional Housing
Needs Allocation (RHNA) outlined in the Housing Element; and
b. The proposed master plan meets the applicable requirements set forth in this
title. Development Code Section 17.22.020 provides the Master Plan as a tool for establishing
site specific development standards for projects of exceptional design that cannot be built under
an existing zone due to constraints of existing development standards relative to site constraints
or the location of a subject parcel or parcels within the city. The applicant is proposing a reduction
in non-residential FAR. Staffs determination is supported by the fact that while the project is
deficient in meeting the code required 0.4 to 0.6 non-residential FAR, the project proposes to still
provide a cumulative 3,065 square feet of non-residential space. In addition to the reduced FAR,
the applicant is proposing a reduced ground floor retail height from 12 feet to 10 feet, and a
reduced ground floor transparency to 45% total. These deviations apply to the live/work building
that fronts Base Line Road. For the residential rowhouse buildings, the requested deviation
proposed is to increase the building depth from 50 feet maximum to 55'-6" maximum for an
enhanced design including wall and facade articulation and projections. In addition to
Development Code regulations which allow a developer to establish site specific development
standards by way of a master plan, the City Council has established that parcels which meet
certain criteria, specifically for lots which are less than 3-acres and which are not located within a
frontage overlay along a primary corridor, may be granted a reduction in non-residential floor area
due to these constraints, on a case by case basis.
Staff supports the requested site-specific development standards. The project site is surrounded
by a mix of commercial, retail, and office land uses that are readily accessible to future project
residents and commercial tenants. Due to these circumstances, and despite not providing code-
compliant nonresidential floor area, ground floor residential use height, primary building depth,
and ground floor transparency, the project would also help implement the City's vision in the NG3
zone by introducing a medium-density(22 du/ac) mixed-use development along a pedestrian and
bicycle priority corridor.
7. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council make the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with approval of the
application.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 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332-In-Fill Development Projects
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-021 SUBTT20708,
DRC2024-00108, DRC2024-00109, DRC2025-00055—REMPEL MIXED-USE
JULY 23, 2025

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.
a. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are
Neighborhood Corridor and Neighborhood General 3, respectively, which permits the
development of a mixed-use development of the proposed size and configuration. The project
complies with the majority of City's development standards and design guidelines other than those
outlined in the Master Plan and Minor Exception sections of this report.
b. The project site is located within the City limits on a site less than 5 acres and is
surrounded by existing residential and commercial development and City infrastructure.
c. The project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened
species as determined by the Biological Resources study provided within the CEQA exemption
(Glenn Lukos Associates 2023).
d. The following are the four environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order
to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Class 32 Exemption:
(1) Traffic: The Trip Generation Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening
Analysis (Ganddini Group, March 2025) was prepared for the project which determined that the
number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The proposed
mixed-use project is anticipated to generate 322 total daily trips including 23 AM peak hour trips
and 27 PM peak hour trips occurring on a typical weekday. Therefore, the proposed Project is not
expected to generate 50 or more trips during the AM or PM peak hour and does not require a
detailed Level of Service (LOS) analysis. Additionally, the proposed project satisfies the City-
established VMT screening criteria for projects located in a low VMT area. Therefore, preparation
of a transportation impact study with VMT analysis is not warranted, and the project may be
presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact. Furthermore, a New Roadway
Connection Analysis (Fehr & Peers, May 2025) determined that based on the travel patterns for
the existing surrounding single-family neighborhood, a greater number of trips would occur along
the Ruby Avenue Street connection through the project site from the adjacent residents than those
of the project site.
(2) Noise: A Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was prepared for the project.
(Ganddini Group, March 2025). The analysis determined that the construction and operational
noise and vibration levels would not exceed the City's noise thresholds is expected to result in
less than significant impacts.
(3) Air Quality: Based on the Air Quality Assessment (Ganddini Group, April 2025),
emissions generated during construction and operation of the Project would not result in in the
generation of criteria air pollutants that would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management
District's (SCAQMD's) significance thresholds. It was also determined that the GHG emissions

JULY 23, 2025
Page 6
will comply with the consistency measures outlined in the City's CAP checklist. Overall, all air
quality and GHG impacts are considered less than significant.
(4) Water Quality: The project will include a Grading Plan, Best Management Practices
(BMPs) outlined in the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and a Landscape Plan that will
be prepared and reviewed for consistency with the City's adopted standard measures and
regulatory compliance measures.The water quality analysis determined that the project would not
result in any significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality during construction
and/or operations. (Adkan Engineers, March 2024).
e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services as
determined by the reviewing departments of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and external utility
agencies.
8. 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, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 7 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the application
subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.

Treatment Control BMPs utilizing infiltration [exclusive of incidental infiltration and BMPs not designed to
primarily function as infiltration devices (such as grassy swales, detention basins, vegetated buffer
strips, constructed wetlands, etc.)] must comply with the following minimum requirements to protect
groundwater:
a. Use of structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
ground water quality objectives.
b. Source control and pollution prevention control BMPs shall be implemented to protect groundwater
quality. The need for pre-treatment BMPs such as sedimentation or filtration should be evaluated prior
to infiltration.
c. Adequate pretreatment of runoff prior to infiltration shall be required in gas stations and large
commercial parking lots, if applicable. (NOTE: The State Water Quality Control Board defines a large
commercial parking lot as '100,000 sq. ft. or more of commercial development to include parking lot
(with 100 or more vehicle traffics), OR, by means of 5,000sgft or more of allowable space designated
for parking purposes').
d. Unless adequate pre-treatment of runoff is provided prior to infiltration structural infiltration treatment
BMPs must not be used for areas of industrial or light industrial activity {77}, areas subject to high
vehicular traffic (25,000 or more daily traffic); car washes; fleet storage areas; nurseries; or any other
high threat to water quality land uses or activities.
e. Class V injection wells or dry wells must not be placed in areas subject to vehicular {781 repair or
maintenance activities{79), such as an auto body repair shop, automotive repair shop, new and used
car dealership, specialty repair shop (e.g., transmission and muffler repair shop) or any facility that does
any vehicular repair work, if applicable.
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.
