3. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Design
Review DRC2022-00101 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 development is in accord with the General Plan. The General
Plan land use designation is Industrial Employment District (IE), which promotes for industrial
activities of all types and promotes the reinvestment and reuse of industrial lands into more clean
and sustainable industrial uses and operations. The project applicant is proposing to redevelop
the site with a new industrial warehouse building meeting current building and clean energy
standards; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and
the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is within the industrial
Employment zone which permits the development of industrial warehouse developments; and
C. The proposed project,together with the Master Plan application, is in compliance
with each of the applicable provisions and development standards of the Development Code.The
project complies with the requirements of the Development Code except for the roadway
standards and parking and average landscaping depth standard as described in the staff report;
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.
4. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve
Conditional Use Permit DRC2025-00203 as part of the application and makes the following
findings pursuant to the Development Code Section 17.20.060 in support of the
recommendation:
a. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan. The General
Plan land use designation is Industrial Employment District (IE), which promotes for industrial
activities of all types and promotes the reinvestment and reuse of industrial lands into more clean

and sustainable industrial uses and operations. The project applicant is proposing to redevelop
the site with a new industrial warehouse building; and
b. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and
the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is within the Industrial
Employment zone which permits the development of industrial warehouse developments; and
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 project site is well suited for the proposed new 334,776
square foot warehouse building meeting current building and clean energy standards and is
bordered by sites similarly zoned for industrial development; and
d. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use
would be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including
transportation and service facilities. The project site is bound by existing industrial developments
to the north and east, and industrially zoned property to the south and west. The proposed use
complies with the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the size and design of
proposed project would be compatible with the existing and future uses in the vicinity; and
e. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious to or
detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to
persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. 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; and
f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on the 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 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 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. Furthermore, the
proposed project would pay all applicable development fees associated with fire protection
services and would comply with all regulations governing fire prevention and safety, such as those
established in the California Building Code, California Fire Code, California Health and Safety
Code, and California Occupational Safety and Health Regulation, thus reducing demand for
RCFPD services. Therefore, Project impacts related to public services are less than significant;
and
g. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It was determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
was the appropriate environmental document to evaluate the project and any potential impacts.
The project EIR identified potentially significant impacts associated with air quality;
archaeological, historical, and tribal cultural resources; energy; greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions; hazards and hazardous materials; and transportation. However, the Draft EIR
concluded that all potentially significant impacts identified for the proposed project would be
mitigated to less than significant levels with the incorporation of mitigation measures, and none
of the impacts would be significant and unavoidable.

5. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Master
Plan DRC2024-00036 as 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 Industrial
Employment land use designation which promotes for industrial activities of all types and
promotes the reinvestment and reuse of industrial lands into more clean and sustainable
industrial uses and operations. The proposed industrial warehouse land use will complement
and be compatible with the surrounding area's character comprising of industrial uses. Project
development would also help implement several goals and policies of the Rancho Cucamonga
General Plan, including the infill development of an underutilized property through flexible design
requirements (LC-1.9), ensure compatibility of new development with adjacent context(LC-1.11),
and maintain a fiscally sound city with a diverse and sustainable tax base (LC-3.6); 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 exception 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 to deviate
from roadway standards for an industrial collector designated right-of-way and reductions in
parking and average landscaping setback standards.
6. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council make the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with approval of the
application:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) (SCH No.2023110039), has been prepared for this project. The EIR was circulated
for public and agency comment and proper notification was provided in accordance with CEQA
and CEQA Guidelines; with the public comment period commencing May 23, 2025, through July
8, 2025, after which the City prepared a Final EIR (FEIR); and
b. The Final EIR has been completed, and has analyzed the environmental impacts
of the construction and operation of the Proposed Project; and
C. The Final EIR contains the information required by CEQA Guidelines § 15132,
including, without limitation, the Draft EIR and all revisions and additions thereto, comments on
the Draft EIR received from various agencies, organizations, companies, individuals or other
interested parties, and the City's responses to the comments received on the Draft EIR, and
findings as required by CEQA statute; and
d. The EIR concludes that upon implementation of the project and all recommended
mitigation measures, impacts associated with the project would remain less than significant. No
significant and unavoidable impact was identified; thus, it is determined that no Statement of
Overriding Consideration is required to be adopted.
7. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
and 6 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.
