SUBJECT:Consideration to Cancel the January 7, 2026, Regular Meetings of the
Fire Protection District, Housing Successor Agency, Successor Agency,
Public Financing Authority, and City Council. (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council cancel the January 7, 2026 Regular Meetings of the Fire
Protection District, Housing Successor Agency, Successor Agency, Public Financing Authority,
and City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council serves as the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Board, Housing Successor Agency,
Successor Agency, and Public Financing Authority. Its Regular Meetings are held on the first and
third Wednesdays of each month.
ANALYSIS:
A Regular City Council meeting is scheduled for January 7, 2026. However, the city will be closed
for the holidays from December 24, 2025, to January 4, 2026.
Given the proximity to the holiday closure and the lack of availability to prepare adequately for the
meeting, staff recommends canceling the January 7, 2026, meeting. This decision aligns with past
practices of the city.
The city will hold two regular meetings in December and one in January, so canceling the January
7 meeting will not affect city business.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item maintains organizational efficiency and planning to help advance the quality of life for
the community through inclusive decision-making.

SUBJECT:Consideration to Declare Computers, Monitors, Laptops, Printers, and
iPads, That Have Been Deemed No Longer Needed, Obsolete or
Unusable as Surplus. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council declare the listed computers, monitors, laptops, printers, and
iPads that have been deemed no longer needed, obsolete or unusable as surplus.
BACKGROUND:
Per the City's Municipal Code Section 3.08.150, the Procurement Manager shall have the
authority, granted by the City Council, to request to dispose of City items that have been deemed
obsolete and unsuitable for City use. Methods for disposing of surplus are to exchange for or
trade in on new supplies, transfer to another department, or offer for sale on a competitive
bid basis. After a reasonable effort, and if no bids have been received, Procurement may dispose
of surplus for the highest scrap value. The City may sell surplus property to any other
governmental agency at a fair market value without any other bids or donate surplus property to
any agency or entity which is exempt from federal income tax, with the approval of City Council.
ANALYSIS:
The items to be considered for surplus were submitted by the Department of Innovation &
Technology. Staff has reviewed all items listed for surplus, determined that the listed items are
no longer needed, obsolete, or unusable. Staff recommends City Council approve the disposal
of these items through auction or best method as determined by the Procurement Manager.

SUBJECT:Consideration of the Recommendation from the Library Board of
Trustees to Name the Relocated Archibald Library to the Diane Williams
Library at Lions Park. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council consider the recommendation from the Library Board of
Trustees to name the Relocated Archibald Library to the Diane Williams Library at Lions Park.
BACKGROUND:
The origin of Lions Center on Baseline, just two blocks from the old Growers Service and Supply
Company, had its beginning in 1950, when the Lions, looking to the future, purchased the five-
acre lot. The property needed water rights in order to make improvements. With diligent effort of
the club’s first president, Carl Massingale (1947-1949), Arthur Allen, the club’s second president
(1949-1950), and a very inspired membership the land was cleared, and water rights were
obtained.
The Lions also dedicated a street on the west property line, which to this day is known as Lions
Street. The first order of business was San Bernardino County’s request for a library in
Cucamonga. The club took this in stride and in due time financed a building, negotiated an
agreement with the county and in 1964, the San Bernardino County Library opened on the Lion’s
property.
As the community grew, the County asked for a larger building in 1974. The Lions opted to transfer
the property and building to the county, with stipulations that it always must remain a community
service facility. Lion George Parker, a 40-year plus member, was instrumental in entering this
requirement into the transfer and paved the way for the eventual transfer from the County to the
City.
In 1977, with the incorporation of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, the County was forced to
transfer the buildings and property to the newly incorporated City. Along with the County’s
improvements and the City’s two remodeled facilities, the community dedicated Lion Center East
in January of 1998 and Lions Center West in October of the same year. The main entrance to
Lions Center West displays a plaque dedicated to the Host Lions and in the main hall the display
case contains many of the club’s trophies and miscellaneous Lions memorabilia collected over
the last 58 years. The Filippi Room, on the northeast corner of Lions West is the original county
library.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga is relocating the existing Archibald Library to the City-owned
Lions Center East and West facility, currently referred to as the Westside Library Expansion
Project. Since the library will no longer be located on Archibald Avenue, staff recommends
changing the library’s name to avoid causing potential confusion for visitors.
Per the City’s Naming of Parks and Facilities Policy (Section C.2), “first preference is to provide
easy and recognizable reference for City residents based on the location and designated function
of the facility,” and “if the site is near a geographical landmark, it may be named for that landmark
if it is not adjacent to a school site.”
This newly renovated, state-of-the-art library will feature expanded community spaces, a larger
Library of Things collection, and outdoor event areas designed to promote learning, engagement,
and accessibility for all residents. Situated adjacent to Lions Park, the site will also offer ample
space for outdoor programming.
In alignment with the City’s Naming of Parks and Facilities Policy, the Library Board of Trustees
approved the recommendation to name the relocated Archibald Library the Diane Williams Library
at Lions Park during their board meeting on October 2, 2025. The proposed name meets the
naming guidelines outlined in the Policy.
ANALYSIS:
Diane Williams served the community of Rancho Cucamonga for over 28 years, including seven
consecutive terms on the City Council. She helped found the Friends of the Library which
marked the start of the successful effort to break away from the county library system and form a
city library. She remained an active member and also served as the former President of the
Friends of the Library, where she championed numerous efforts to increase public access to
literacy and educational resources. Williams' leadership helped guide Rancho Cucamonga
through significant phases of growth, and her passion for inclusive, community-oriented spaces
left an impact on public programs, particularly in education and culture.
According to the Policy, commemorative naming may be granted to individuals who have made
“distinguished and significant contributions to the community that resulted in positive, lasting
impacts”. Additionally, for elected officials, commemorative naming is eligible one year after their
term ends, unless waived by the City Council under extenuating circumstances. Diane Williams
retired from the City Council in 2018, meeting the timing and eligibility requirements.
Naming the new library after Diane Williams recognizes her legacy and aligns with the City’s
values of service, education, and inclusivity. It would also ensure future generations are reminded
of her contributions and the importance of civic leadership in shaping Rancho Cucamonga’s
future.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no fiscal impacts related to naming the relocated Archibald Library.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Naming the relocated Archibald Library to the Diane Williams Library at Lions Park aligns with
building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, relentless pursuit of improvement, and
providing and nurturing an excellent quality of life for all – all of which are exemplified by Diane
Williams’ decades of service, advocacy for education, and unwavering commitment to the Rancho
Cucamonga community.

The following policy is to be used in the naming of parks, facilities and facility amenities owned by
the City of Rancho Cucamonga. To ensure that parks, facilities and amenities paid for and
operated by public funds have clear guidelines for establishing names and identity, this policy
establishes uniform and consistent evaluation of dedication and naming requests and to ensure
that this honor is bestowed in an equitable manner and based on common criteria supported by
compelling reasons. All naming must be congruent with overall strategic mission, vision and
values for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Final approval of all naming is the responsibility of the
City Council unless otherwise stated.
Additionally, the policy sets forth guidelines for allocation of sponsorship naming rights for
accepting and recognizing contributions through Sponsor Agreements developed through
fundraising campaigns.
B. DEFINITIONS:
The following definitions shall be in effect for this policy:
•Public Parks and Open Space: City owned parks, open space and trails.
•Recreational Community Facilities: City owned buildings that are used primarily for
recreational or cultural activities.
•Other Community Facilities: City owned facilities used to conduct city business or provide
services that are not recreational or cultural in nature.
•Facility Amenities: Portions of City owned properties subject to naming including rooms,
courtyards, sport fields and significant architectural elements of a facility. Site furnishings,
equipment or fixtures are excluded from this policy.
C. NAMING CATEGORIES/CRITERIA
The following factors shall be considered in the naming of any park, open space, facility or
amenity:
1. General Conditions and Exclusions
•Naming that promotes unhealthy lifestyles, including but not limited to alcohol or
tobacco use will not be considered.
•Naming that promotes any political organization will not be considered.
ATTACHMENT 1
Page 55
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - NAMING OF PARKS AND FACILITIES POLICY
PAGE 2
Re-naming of City facilities is strongly discouraged and can only be considered when
compelling circumstances exist.
The Rancho Cucamonga Epicenter is excluded from this policy. Its naming guidelines
are subject to the terms and conditions of the tenant lease with the resident minor
league baseball team.
The Rancho Cucamonga Civic Center is not available for naming opportunities;
however amenities within the building may receive Commemorative Naming.
2. Geographical Location, Historical Designation & Designated Facility Function
First preference is to provide easy and recognizable reference for City residents based
on the location and the designated function of the park or facility.
If a park site or facility is located next to a school and the school has been officially
named, it may bear the same name. If the school has not been named, the City shall
work with the School District on a mutually agreed upon name.
If the park site or facility is near a geographical landmark it may be named for that
landmark if it is not adjacent to a school site.
A park or facility may be named for an adjacent street or commemorative event if it is
not located next to a school site or significant geological or historic element.
If the park site or facility is near a historical site or landmark, it may be named for that
site.
A park site, facility or amenities may be named after individuals or organizations if they
have contributed significantly to the development of the park, amenity, general park
system or other City project or program.
3. Termination of Naming Rights
Due to the high profile nature of public facilities, diligence and discretion must be exercised in
their naming. Significant review and higher standard of care will be applied in the use of a name
of an individual, organization or business. The City reserves the right to reject any sponsor
requests or naming request at any time during the approval process. The City Council may
remove a name from a park, open space, trail, building, or portion thereof, structure, equipment or
furnishing when deemed by the City Council to be in the best interest of the City.
The City Council reserves the right to suspend the use of a Commemorative Name or terminate a
Sponsor Agreement in the case of circumstances involving fraud, poor moral character, criminal
activity or other actions which would reflect poorly on the reputation, image or good-will of the
City. Additionally, should a corporate entity cease to exist, their naming rights may be terminated.
D. NAMING DESIGNATIONS – COMMEMORATIVE AND SPONSORSHIPS
Individuals, families, organizations or businesses recognized shall be defined as either a
Commemorative designation (for outstanding civic contributions) or Sponsorship designation (in
exchange for financial contribution). City Hall is excluded from either Commemorative or
Sponsorship naming opportunities. Existing parks or facilities with a Commemorative name are
Page 41
Page 56
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - NAMING OF PARKS AND FACILITIES POLICY
PAGE 3
excluded from Sponsorship naming, however amenities at existing parks or facilities maybe
considered.
1. Commemorative Naming
Honorarium/Memorial – includes the use of a name of an individual, family or
organization (not associated with Sponsorship Agreements) for the purpose of
recognizing distinguished and significant contributions to the community that resulted in
positive, lasting impacts. Preference is that Commemorative Naming be done in
conjunction with Geographical and Functional Naming.
Commemorative Naming shall be done in a manner that ensures that there is broad
support for the naming and a general knowledge that the contributions of the individual,
family or organization are extraordinary. Extreme care and diligence must be exercised
in application of this policy to ensure that the selection of honorees will withstand the
test of time.
Nominees for Commemorative Naming (individuals, families and organizations) are
subject to background investigations to ascertain and affirm that their character
represents the integrity and service to the community that warrants such a privilege.
See Policy Section on Elected Officials for clarification of Commemorative Naming
involving individuals serving in an elected office capacity.
2. Sponsorship Naming Rights
Sponsorship Naming Rights includes naming in exchange for a significant donation from a
business, organization or individual to recognize philanthropic support, whether through an
affiliate non-profit Foundation or through the City. In evaluating Sponsorship Naming Rights
associated with an approved fundraising campaign, the following guidelines are to be
adhered to:
The City may enter into agreements with non-profits that allow the organization to solicit
contributions towards construction or operation of a City park or facility. Organizations
affiliated with the City that desire to raise funds for a City sponsored project must
receive City Council approval prior to soliciting naming opportunities.
The non-profits may assist the City in negotiating terms of the gift. Staff will prepare a
recommendation to the appropriate City Council Subcommittee who will make a final
recommendation to the City Council.
Sponsors will be required to enter into a Sponsorship Agreement with the City and
appropriate Foundation establishing terms and conditions, payment schedules, donor
status and recognition levels, duration of naming and termination of rights.
Sponsorships will not be considered from any donor whose purpose or conduct would
reasonably demean the reputation, image or good-will of the City.
Potential sponsorships will be evaluated in terms of their possible negative impact on
soliciting and obtaining additional sponsors in the future. Sponsors should not be
considered if such approval would likely result in a significant reduction in future
sponsors.
Page 42
Page 57
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - NAMING OF PARKS AND FACILITIES POLICY
PAGE 4
Sponsorships, and wording on donor recognition/individual appeal plaques, will not be
considered which could place the staff, boards, committees, City Council, or the City in
any potential or perceived conflict of interest.
Sponsorships will only be approved with corporations, organizations or individuals who
wish to contribute, based solely on their support of the mission and objectives of the
City. While acknowledgement of the sponsor’s official business, name and/or affiliation
is important for positive appreciation, the donor recognition program, including wording
used on donor recognition/individual appeal plaques, shall not be allowed for marketing
or advertisement of specific products, projects or campaigns.
See Policy Section on Elected Officials for clarification of Sponsorship Naming involving
individuals serving in an elected office capacity.
E. COMMEMORATIVE OR SPONSORSHIP NAMING INVOLVING ELECTED OFFICIALS
Extreme care is to be used in consideration of naming a public park or facility in recognition of
elected public officials.
1. Commemorative Naming Guidelines for Elected Officials
To be considered for Commemorative Naming of a park, facility or amenity in the name of a
Federal, State or Local elected official for their contributions associated with their elected
office, the individual must not have served in elected office for which they are being
recognized for at least one year. Exceptions are at the discretion of the City Council and will
only be considered when extenuating circumstances exists.
2. Sponsorship Naming Guidelines for Elected Officials
For the purposes of recognizing a financial contribution through a negotiated sponsor
agreement through an approved fundraising campaign, a building, room or amenity may bear
the name of an elected official if specific conditions are met, including approval of a formal
written agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the Naming Rights. The individual
must not have served in the elected office from which they assisted with the financial
contribution for at least one year. Final approval is at the discretion of the City Council.
F. APPROVAL PROCESS
Initiation of naming can occur at the Department level or by a member of the community. City
staff may solicit community input for the naming of a public facility or commence an ad hoc
committee for a planned project. Naming opportunity recommendations shall be forwarded for
approval to the City Council from the appropriate Department, Board, Committee or Commission.
Depending upon the park or facility beginning considered for naming, the following guidelines
apply:

SUBJECT:Consideration of a Reimbursement Request Submitted by Core Rancho,
LLC For Undergrounding Existing Overhead Utilities along the North
Side of Foothill Boulevard, West of East Avenue, Related to Case No.
SUBTT19945 and Authorization of an Appropriation in the Amount of
$156,400 from the Underground Utilities Fund (129). (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Approve the request for reimbursement for undergrounding existing overhead utilities
along the north side of Foothill Boulevard, west of East Avenue submitted by Core Rancho,
LLC; and
2. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $156,400 from the Underground Utilities Fund
(129).
BACKGROUND:
On May 11, 2016, the Planning Commission approved Case No. SUBTT19945 for the
development of a 193-unit mixed-use development with 3,246 square feet of commercial space
on eight (8) acres of vacant land located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and East
Avenue.
The project was conditioned to underground the existing overhead utilities, with the exception for
66KV electrical lines, starting from the first pole offsite east of East Avenue to the first pole offsite
west of the western project boundary along the north side of Foothill Boulevard. The developer
can request a reimbursement to recover the collected monies from what the developer on the
opposite side paid for as an in-lieu fee for future undergrounding of said utilities after acceptance
of the improvements.
ANALYSIS:
On October 5, 2009, the City collected a total amount of $156,400 in-lieu fees from the San
Sevaine Villas development on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, related to Case No.
DRC2006-00540, which may be used to reimburse Core Rancho, LLC. The monies collected
covers the full limits of undergrounding that Core Rancho, LLC completed. On October 1, 2025,
City Council accepted the public improvements which included the undergrounding scope of work.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount of $156,400 that was collected from the San Sevaine Villas development may
be reimbursed to Core Rancho, LLC for completing the undergrounding. Due to the nature of
reimbursement requests in the utility undergrounding program, it is difficult to anticipate the
budget requirements on an annual basis. Funds have not been included in the Fiscal Year
2025/26 budget and appropriations from the Underground Utilities Fund (129) are requested on
a case-by-case basis. An appropriation in the amount of $156,400 from Fund No. 129 into Account
No. F129-CC303-SC7004 (Infrastructure) is necessary to fund this reimbursement request.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s vision to build on our success as a world class community,
to create an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive through the
construction of high-quality public improvements.

SUBJECT:Consideration to Approve Parcel Map No. 20894 Related to Case No.
SUBTPM20894, Located on the Southeast Corner of Eighth Street and
Cottage Avenue. This Item Has Been Determined by Staff to Be Exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15315 - Minor Land Divisions. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council to approve Parcel Map No. 20894.
BACKGROUND:
On December 11, 2024, the Planning Commission approved Case No. SUBTPM20894 (Project)
for the subdivision of 5.85 acres of developed land into four (4) lots located on the southeast
corner of Eighth Street and Cottage Avenue.
ANALYSIS:
The owner, Chase Partners, has submitted a final map for consideration of approval. Staff has
determined that the final map is in substantial conformity with the approved Tentative Map of
Case No. SUBTPM20894 and conditions. Approval of this item by the City Council would approve
Parcel Map No. 20894 and allow its recordation.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Act (CEQA) and the City’s local Guidelines, the Planning
Director determined that the project qualifies as a Class 15 exemption under the State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15315 – Minor Land Divisions, which consists of the division of property in
urbanized areas zoned for industrial use into four (4) or fewer parcels given the division is in
conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all
services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available, the parcel was not
involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two (2) years, and the parcel does not
have an average slope greater than twenty percent. Staff finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project, which is the subdivision of land resulting in no construction, will have a
significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.

$1,471,720.00
ANALYSIS:
The Project was completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and to the
satisfaction of the Public Works Service Director. One (1) change order was issued during
construction, resulting in a net increase of $35,739.90 to the contract amount. A detailed
description of each contract change order is on file with the City’s Engineering Services
Department.
The final balancing statement resulted in a net increase of $133,266.64 to the final contract
amount due to an increase in the final bid quantities of sidewalk being removed and replaced and
one change order. The balancing statement conforms the final contract quantities to the actual
quantities placed or constructed during the contract.
At the end of the one (1) year maintenance period, if the improvements remain free from defects
in materials and workmanship, the City Clerk will release the Maintenance Bond upon approval
by the City Engineer.
The final project construction cost is $1,372,277.59 as shown below:
Expenditure:Amount
Final Construction Contract $1,322,277.59
Construction Inspection Services (Onward)$43,030.00
Total Project Construction Cost $1,365,307.59
Construction support costs, including inspection and materials testing were approximately 3% of
the final contract amount. Construction management services were performed in-house.
As a result, a balance of $106,412.41 remains in the project budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended action will have no fiscal impact.

SUBJECT:Consideration to Accept Public Improvements for the 6th Street Cycle
Track Project Constructed Under the Cooperative Agreement with San
Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) (CO 20-135).
(CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council accept the Public Improvements for the 6th Street Cycle Track
Project constructed under Contract No. 20-135 (Project), as complete.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2020, The City of Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino County Transportation
Authority (SBCTA) entered into a Cooperative Agreement (CO 20-135) for the design and
construction of the Project. SBCTA was the lead agency for the design, construction, right-of-way,
and funding of the Project which was Phase II of the Metrolink Station Accessibility Improvement
Project. The Project was primarily funded by a grant from the Active Transportation Program
(ATP) Cycle 4 and the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), and included work in
the neighboring cities of Montclair, Upland, Fontana, and San Bernardino. The City of Rancho
Cucamonga provided support services such as plan review and inspection and is the responsible
party for operation and maintenance of the Project. The Cooperative Agreement also specified
that the City was responsible for 25% of the Project cost. In June 2022, as the design was nearly
complete, SBCTA’s design consultant prepared an updated project cost estimate. This is when
the design consultant found that the construction cost exceeded the initial cost estimate. To
ensure the success of the project, City and SBCTA Staff met and proposed an even split of the
overage resulting in Amendment No.1 to CO 20-135.
On July 1, 2024, SBCTA issued the Notice to Proceed to Griffith Construction Company.
Construction of the Project within city limits started September 2024 and was substantially
completed May 2025.
ANALYSIS:
The 1.75-mile Class IV Cycle Track on 6th Street begins at Haven Avenue and ends at Rochester
Avenue. This cycle track provides residents with an enhanced connection along 6th Street to
adjacent attractions including the Metrolink Station, the Resort development, and the Day Creek
Channel Bike Trail.

The Project has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga will assume maintenance of the Project upon Project acceptance
by SBCTA as discussed under the Cooperative Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The final Project cost within the City of Rancho Cucamonga portion is $2,000,510 however the
City portion of the contribution was $488,220 to cover the cost of construction expenses. The total
funds for this Project were identified under Capital Improvement Project Account No. and in the
amounts listed below:

PID2005-198
Infrastructure Fund

6th Street Cycle Track
Project
$488,220
Total Project Funding $488,220
The total Project cost for the work in all five cities is $10,152,625. SBCTA used $6,132,000 from
the ATP Cycle 4 grant and $3,100,000 of TIRCP funds. The remaining project cost was paid by
the local match required from the participating cities.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This project meets our City Council core values by promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy
community for all, and by providing continuous improvement through the construction of high-
quality public improvements.

The Zip Books program supports multiple goals of the Library Services Department by providing
cardholders with unique and popular titles in a timely manner, increasing opportunities for patron-
driven acquisitions, and meeting the community's demand for diverse and inclusive collections.
A patron simply requests an item of interest through the Library’s purchase request form, the
library assigns it for purchase from the approved vendor, and the book is shipped directly to the
patron’s home. When finished, the patron returns it to the Library, and the Library may add it to
the materials collection. Because Zip Books is a user-driven program, the library collection
becomes more closely matched to the needs of the local community.
ANALYSIS:
Approval of these grant funds will help pay for the acquisition of additional library collection
materials and cover the related direct-to-patron shipping expenses. This is the fifth consecutive
year that Rancho Cucamonga Library Services has received Zip Books funding support through
the California State Library.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This grant provides $3,078 in additional funds from the California State Library to supplement the
Library's materials budget and have been added as additional revenue to the FY 2025-2026
Budget. This grant does not require any additional City matching funding. $3,078 from this grant
will be placed into Library revenue account F291|CC601|RC5102 and appropriated into Library
expenditure accounts in the following manner:
F291|CC601|SC1404 Operations & Maintenance $2,928
F291|CC601|SC2106 Contract Services $150

SUBJECT:Consideration of an Appropriation in the Amount of $79,500 for
Independent Quality Control Design Services and San Bernardino
County Permit Fees for the Heritage Park Pedestrian Bridges
Replacement Project Phase 2; and Approval of Resolution No. 2025-085
Approving the Interfund Loan Agreement from the Citywide Infrastructure
Improvement Fund (198) to the PD 85 Redemption Fund (848) in a not-
to-exceed Amount of $442,710. (RESOLUTION NO. 2025-085) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Authorize an appropriation of expenditures for Independent Quality Control Design
Services and San Bernardino County Permit Fees for the Heritage Park Bridges
Replacement Project Phase 2 (Project) in the amount of $79,500 from the PD 85
Redemption Fund (848); and
2. Approve Resolution No. 2025-085, approving the interfund loan agreement in a not-to-
exceed amount of $442,710 from the Infrastructure Fund (198) to the PD 85 Redemption
Fund (848) for design services and permitting costs as F848 has insufficient funds.
BACKGROUND:
On July 16, 2025, City Council awarded a contract to MNS Engineers for design and construction
support services for the Project. The Project will replace two (2) bridges in Heritage Park crossing
Demens Creek Channel and Rancho Wash Channel. One (1) of the bridges was damaged earlier
this year and was closed immediately, the other is open however barriers restricting access to the
center of the deck are in place due to damage on the extremity of the deck. A Vicinity Map
illustrating the location of the Project is included in Attachment 1.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has selected Danken Construction Engineering Group to perform Independent Quality
Control Design Services for the Project. Their scope includes independent calculations for the
bridges and channel wall analysis, review of the final design package, and a constructability

review. A copy of the Professional Services Agreement is on file with the City Clerk’s office.
Further, in the July 16, 2025 staff report, Council directed staff to prepare an inter-fund loan
agreement from the Infrastructure Fund (198) to the PD 85 Redemption Fund (848) to cover the
cost of the design contract and permitting costs for the Project. The bridges within Heritage Park
support recreational activity and access within the park, which is maintained and funded through
the PD 85 Redemption Fund (848). However, the PD 85 Redemption Fund does not have a
sufficient fund balance to cover the amount of the design contract, this contract, and permitting
costs. Therefore, staff are recommending the interfund loan agreement (Attachment 2) be
approved to cover these costs.
Finally, staff was recently notified by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District that a fee
in the amount of $10,000 will be required for permits related to the work in their right-of-way for
the Project. This cost was not previously included in the project estimate and budget necessitating
the need for an additional appropriation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds were not initially budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget for this Project as the
emergency work was not anticipated. Funds for the design work in the amount of $363,210 were
appropriated from the PD 85 Redemption Fund (848) in the July 16,2025 staff report however
additional funds are required as described above. Staff is recommending that funding be
appropriated toward the Project from the PD 85 Redemption Fund (848) for Independent Quality
Control Design Services as shown below:
Account No. Funding Source Description Amount

F848 CC307 SC7004
PID2218-848
PD 85 Redemption
Fund
SB County Permit Fee $10,000
Total $79,500
The approval of the resolution authorizes an interfund loan in the not-to-exceed amount of
$442,710 from the Citywide Infrastructure Improvement Fund (F198) to the PD-85 Fund (F848)
to provide sufficient cash flow for the Heritage Park Bridge Replacement Project. The loan will
bear interest at the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) quarterly apportionment rate, with
principal and interest payments made quarterly over a ten-year term. Approval of this item also
appropriates the transfer between the two funds as part of the FY 2025/26 operating budget as

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN INTERFUND LOAN
FROM THE CITYWIDE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT FUND
(F198) TO PD-85 (F848) IN THE NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF
$442,710, ESTABLISHING THE TERMS UNDER WHICH THE LOAN
WILL BE REPAID
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) manages the Neighborhood Park and
Recreation Improvement District No. PD-85. PD-85 was formed in 1985 and consists of single-family
homes, condominiums, multi-family units, commercial, industrial, and vacant properties. Property owners
pay an annual assessment of $31.00 to support the maintenance and capital costs of the Heritage Park
and the Red Hill Community Park; and
WHEREAS, the City is investing in the ongoing Pedestrian Bridge Replacement Project at the
Heritage Park. The bridges within Heritage Park support recreational activity and accessibility within the
park, and provide emergency services access during staging for major emergency events; and
WHEREAS, PD-85 currently lacks sufficient available cash to meet the expanded scope of the
Heritage Bridge Replacement Project while meeting any necessary operational reserve requirements.
The PD-85 fund does have sufficient projected annual revenue to meet the obligations associated with
an advance of funds over a ten-year period; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Infrastructure Improvement Fund is also providing funds for the Heritage
Bridge Replacement Project and maintains adequate liquidity to support a temporary interfund advance;
and
WHEREAS, applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) guidance authorizes
temporary loans between City funds, provided such loans are made for specific purposes, bear a
reasonable rate of interest, and are repaid from legally available revenues; and
WHEREAS, the City’s financial policies permit the use of interfund loans as a cash-flow
management tool, providing the lending fund will not be adversely impacted and the borrowing fund
identifies a reliable repayment source and schedule; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it prudent to base the interest rate for interfund loans on the
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) quarterly apportionment rate, which reflects the market yield of the
City’s pooled investments and represents an equitable rate of return to the lending fund; and
WHEREAS, this temporary advance is intended to provide short-term liquidity to PD-85 pending
the receipt of future assessments or other dedicated revenues, and the repayment of principal and
accrued interest shall be completed within the period established in this resolution;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga,
California does hereby resolve on this 5th day of November 2025, as follows:
SECTION 1: The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Resolution, are true and correct.
SECTION 2: The City Council hereby authorizes an interfund loan from the Citywide
Infrastructure Improvement Fund to the PD-85 Fund in the not-to-exceed amount
of $442,710 on the terms set forth in Exhibit A of this Resolution. The interfund
loan shall be transferred from the Citywide Infrastructure Improvement Fund to the
PD-85 Fund for use in its FY2025/26 operating budget.

SECTION 3: Repayment of the interfund loan shall be made on a quarterly basis over a period
not to exceed ten (10) years from the date of initial loan disbursement. Each
quarterly payment shall include both principal and accrued interest, calculated
based on the outstanding balance and current LAIF quarterly apportionment rate.
Early repayment shall be permitted without penalty. The borrowing fund shall
ensure sufficient annual budget appropriations to meet its scheduled repayment
obligations.
SECTION 4: The loan shall accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF) quarterly apportionment rate as published by the
California State Treasurer’s Office for each respective quarter. The applicable LAIF
rate shall be updated at the close of each calendar quarter and applied to the
outstanding principal balance for that period. Interest shall be computed on a
simple interest basis, consistent with the City’s investment earnings methodology,
and accrued interest shall be payable on a quarterly schedule concurrent with
principal repayment.
SECTION 5: The Finance Department is hereby authorized to administer this interfund loan,
record the associated accounting entries, and adjust the quarterly interest rate in
accordance with the published LAIF apportionment schedule. The Finance
Director, or designee, shall monitor repayment compliance and report any material
changes or repayment delays to the City Manager and City Council.
SECTION 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932 and
Updating the Teamsters Local 1932 Salary Schedule. (RESOLUTION
NO. 2025-084) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving a Side Letter
Agreement between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932 and updating the
Teamsters Local 1932 salary schedule.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council previously approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City
of Rancho Cucamonga (City) and the Teamsters Local 1932, effective July 1, 2025 through
June 30, 2026.
In October of 2025, the City and Teamsters Local 1932 met and conferred in good faith and
agreed to updated MOU language related to sick leave accrual for new employees.
Effective July 14, 2025 the Teamsters Local 1932 salary schedule was updated to incorporate
the salary adjustments outlined in the MOU. These adjustments included a 5.75% increase to the
Equipment Operator salary range and a 1.51% increase to the Lead Maintenance Worker salary
range.
As a result of these adjustments, a salary range discrepancy was created, wherein the Equipment
Operator now has a higher salary range than its supervisory classification of Lead Maintenance
Worker.
ANALYSIS:
The agreed amendment to Section 20 of the MOU: Sick Leave, provides 60 hours of sick leave
to new employees at the time of hire. Employees will begin accruing additional sick leave at their
seventh month of employment. This amendment will provide new employees with sick leave at
the time of hire should the need to arise to use it. This will help in preventing employees from
coming into work if they are sick or going on an unpaid status.
The proposed amendment to the Teamsters Local 1932 salary schedule will adjust the salary
range for Lead Maintenance Worker to be 3% above the Equipment Operator classification. This
Page 91
Page 2

amendment restores the original salary range differential that existed prior to the adjustments
implemented in July 2025, ensuring appropriate salary range alignment between supervisory and
subordinate roles.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the Side Letter
Agreement between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Teamsters Local 1932, updating the
sick leave accrual language. This Side Letter Agreement shall be incorporated into the MOU. The
MOU will remain in full force and effect except to the extent modified by this Side Letter
Agreement.
Effective November 17, 2025 the Teamsters Local 1932 salary schedule will reflect the update to
the Lead Maintenance Worker salary range. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the
attached resolution approving the updated Teamsters Local 1932 salary schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal Year impact for 2025-2026 is $13,809.

(CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving an 18-month
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Rancho
Cucamonga City Employees Association (RCCEA).
BACKGROUND:
The City Council previously approved a twelve-month MOU between the City of Rancho
Cucamonga and RCCEA, effective January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
In August 2025, the City and the Rancho Cucamonga City Employees Association began
negotiations to the MOU. After meeting and conferring in good faith, the City and RCCEA came
to a tentative agreement.

These changes to the salary ranges do not affect employee pay unless an employee is now

Page 104

new bottom of the range.
SECTION 5: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND MERIT INCREASE
The annual performance review shall be replaced with a professional development plan
and at least two (2) coaching check-ins per year.
The City has formed a committee of all bargaining groups who have agreed to change
from an annual performance review to an annual professional development plan, which
includes RCCEA. The committee will review the form(s) and processes not defined in
this MOU for members and their supervisors to develop the annual professional
development plan. Training and sample forms will be provided to employees and
supervisors to assist with the professional development plan and coaching check-ins.
The City will review the form(s) and process with this committee at least every three (3)
years to assure their usefulness for employees and supervisors.
RCCEA covered employees on or starting a probationary period will be eligible receive
up to five percent (5%) through the term of their probationary period per the City’s
Personnel Rules and Regulations, and would then be eligible for a merit increase in the
next professional development plan cycle as long as the probationary period was
completed before the end of November (e.g., an employee whose probationary period
ends during the months of March through November would be eligible for the February
increase; an employee whose probationary period ends during the months of December
through February would not be eligible for an additional increase until the February of
the following year).
In November of each year, employees and their supervisors will work together to
develop the employee’s Professional Development Plan. The plan must be completed
by the employee and the supervisor by the end of the second week of December each
year.
Sample Professional Development Plan Timeline:
•First and Second week of November – Employee completes “My Action
Plan”.
•Third and Fourth week of November – Employee and supervisor work
together on the Plan, and supervisor reviews the plan with their manager
(as determined by the department).
•Remainder of November through the second week of December –
Supervisor finalizes the employee’s Professional Development Plan taking
into account the input of the departmental review. Supervisor goes over
the Professional Development Plan with the employee prior to submittal.
Upon submission of the completed Professional Development Plan in December (as
outlined in the timeline above), employees who are not at top step will receive a merit
increase of five percent (5%), but no greater than top step, which will be reflected in the
first full pay period the following February. Employees at the top of their salary range
will be eligible to receive a non-PERSable stipend of $500, paid in conjunction with the
check from the first full pay period in February.
Page 105
8
There shall be no retroactivity for Professional Development Plans where the employee
portion is not timely submitted to the supervisor by the end of the second week of
November. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, the employee is unable to submit the
Professional Development Plan by the end of the second week of November, the City
agrees to provide additional time and/or resources as necessary.
Employees on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) as of December will not be
eligible for a merit increase or a stipend. All Performance Improvement Plans will be
reviewed in November.
SECTION 6: SUPERVISORY PROFESSIONAL BENEFITS
Employees designated as Supervisory Professional are not eligible for overtime pay, or
compensatory time for working hours over and above the normal daily work schedule.
Employees so designated shall be entitled to all benefits provided to general employees
and the following:
A.Administrative Leave - Fifty (50) hours per fiscal year. Days off must be
approved by appropriate supervisor.
B.Life Insurance -Additional life insurance in the amount of $20,000 (total
$50,000
C.Deferred Compensation - Two percent (2%) of base salary.
SECTION 7: LIFE INSURANCE
The City provides $30,000 base coverage of life insurance for all employees.
Employees who elect to purchase additional life insurance coverage with personal
funds may do so at the City's group rate.
SECTION 8: HEALTH INSURANCE
A.LEVEL OF BENEFIT
The City shall provide employee and family health insurance for all existing full-time
continuous salaried employees within the bargaining group subject to limitation that
no such monthly funding by the City shall exceed:
$1,550 per month effective the first full pay period in January 2026.
$1,600 per month effective the first full pay period in December 2026.
.
B.USE OF ACCRUED VACATION FOR ABOVE CITY-PAID CONTRIBUTION
MAXIMUM HEALTH INSURANCE
Employees who elect a health insurance program with a premium above the City-
paid contribution maximum may also elect to use the cash value of redeemed
accrued vacation to pay for any above maximum premium. Such use will be on a
dollar-for dollar and pre-tax basis. Such election must be made in writing, may cover
Page 106
9
all or a specified part over the maximum premium, and be effective for one calendar
year unless the participant terminates employment with the City during the year (see
Appendix A for complete information on this optional benefit). If accrued vacation is
insufficient to pay for any above maximum premium, the difference will be deducted
from the employee’s net pay. This periodic payout will not be included in the
computation of overtime and will not counts towards Vacation Buyback. The parties
agree that this position will not be used when bargaining, contemplating, or
calculating the health insurance benefit.
C.CASH IN-LIEU PAYMENT
Effective the first full pay period in January 2023, employees may opt out of medical
insurance and receive a $300 per month cash in lieu payment if they meet the
eligibility requirements. To be eligible, an employee must provide the following:
(1) proof that the employee and all individuals for whom the employee intends to
claim a personal exemption deduction for the taxable year or years that begin or
end in or with the City’s plan year to which the opt out applies (“tax family”), have
or will have minimum essential coverage through another source (other than
coverage in the individual market, whether or not obtained through Covered
California) for the plan year to which the opt out arrangement applies (“opt out
period”); and
(2) the employee must sign an attestation that the employee and his/her tax family
have or will have such minimum essential coverage for the opt out period. An
employee must sign an attestation every plan year during open enrollment or within
30 days after the start of the plan year. The opt-out payment cannot be made, and
the City will not in fact make payment if the employer knows that the employee or
tax family member does not have such alternative coverage, or if conditions in this
paragraph are not otherwise satisfied.
D.AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REOPENER
The Rancho Cucamonga City Employee Association or City may reopen
negotiations on the issue of health insurance benefits to address changes to or the
elimination of the ACA and in order to avoid penalties or taxes under the ACA or
other statutory scheme that may result from an interpretation of the ACA or other
statutory scheme by the Internal Revenue Service or other federal agency
(including, but not limited to, a revenue ruling, regulation or other guidance) or state
agency, or a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction. These negotiations will not
result in a reduction or increase in the amount the City provides for employee health
coverage.
SECTION 9: RETIREE MEDICAL
Subject to the conditions stated below, effective upon a service or disability retirement from
City service at or beyond age 55 with 10 consecutive years of City service at the time of
retirement, retirees shall be eligible to 100% personally fund, without any City contribution,
participation in a group health insurance program(s) which is making group health insurance
available to the City's retirees.
Page 107
10
It is agreed and acknowledged by the parties to this MOU that no representation is or can be
made by the City, that such group retiree health insurance is available, or if available, will
remain available for any specific future period of time.
If no such group health insurance is reasonably available, or if the private carrier(s)
terminates such coverage as to the retiree group or any individual group member, the City
shall have no obligation/duty to self-fund or otherwise provide insurance or replacement
insurance.
All premiums for the retiree and/or eligible dependents shall be borne by the retiree. The City
shall advance and submit the necessary premiums to the carrier(s), subject to the retiree
reimbursing the City not later than 30 calendar days after City payment of the premium.
Failure to timely reimburse the City shall result in no further premium payments being made
by the City, resulting in termination of insurance coverage.
The City's duty to advance said premiums shall terminate at age 65 of the retiree, regardless
of whether or not the retiree is eligible for Medicare. City shall advise the group carrier of the
insured's status as a retiree. Coverage eligibility shall then be solely determined by the
group insurance carrier(s).
It is likely that premium rates for retirees and/or dependents shall be greater than rates for
employees. Regardless, retirees shall pay 100% of said rates.
If at any time, it is determined by any group health insurance carrier that the City is prohibited
from seeking premium reimbursement from a retiree, City affiliation and retiree enrollment in
said group insurance plan shall immediately terminate upon rendering of the insurance
carrier's decision. In such case, no retiree shall seek reimbursement from the City for any
prior premiums paid by the retiree to the City as and for premium reimbursement.
SECTION 10: RETIREMENT BENEFIT
Unit members who do not meet the definition of “new member” under the California Public
Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) (those unit members shall be referred to
as "classic members") are enrolled in either the CalPERS retirement plan commonly referred
to as the 2.5% at age 55 retirement plan ("Tier 1" and "Tier 2"), or in the 2% at age 55
retirement plan ("Tier 3") and shall be provided the benefits as described below:
A.Tier 1 – Employees Hired Before September 1, 2010

D.It is understood that all contributions paid by the employee as described in Parts A

plus any additional PERSable compensation.
The City adopted a resolution providing that all employee CalPERS contributions shall
be deducted on a pre-tax basis to the extent permitted by law or IRS regulation. All
employee payments of the employer share are done pursuant to Government Code
Section 20516(f).
There shall be no sunset date to any provision in Section 10.
E.The California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) - As it may
from time to time exist, the PEPRA shall in its entirety be given full force and effect.
Any provision in this MOU which contradicts any provision of the PEPRA shall be
deemed null and void, with the contrary PEPRA provision(s) being given full force and
effect. Therefore, no provision of PEPRA shall be deemed to impair any provision
of this MOU or any MOU, Agreement, Rule or Regulation predating this MOU.
PEPRA includes, but is not limited to, the provisions described below:
Unit members hired on and after January 1, 2013, deemed to be a "new member"
as defined in Government Code§ 7522.04, shall individually pay an initial Member
CALPERS contribution rate of 50% of the normal cost rate for the Defined Benefit
Plan in which said "new member'' is enrolled, rounded to the nearest quarter of 1%,
or the current contribution rate of similarly situated employees, whichever is greater.
Unit members who are "new members" and miscellaneous employees on and after
Page 109
12
January 1, 2013, shall be enrolled in the 2%@ 62 retirement formula (Govt. Code§
7522.20).
Unit members who are "new members" on and after January 1, 2013, shall have
"final compensation" measured by the highest average annual pensionable
compensation earned by the member during a period of at least 36 consecutive
months (Section 7522.32.), and their retirement benefits shall be calculated based
on "pensionable compensation" (Section 7522.10) rather than "compensation
earnable" (Section 20636).
F.In addition, the City has adopted the PARS Retirement Enhancement Plan generally
described as .5% (one-half percent) at 55 or at 60, depending upon the employee's
hire date, for all miscellaneous employees hired on or prior to December 31, 2012.

account through payroll deductions.
Effective the first full pay period in July 2021, Deferred Compensation participation for
new bargaining unit members shall be automatic with an opt-out provision for new

the intent to use such leave. In accordance with AB1949, the bereavement leave must be
completed within three (3) months of the date of death but need not be taken consecutively.

attention and needs to be cleared with their supervisor when using this time.
SECTION 18: VACATION

Page 111
14
pay period in December 2025. All full-time employees shall, with continuous service, accrue

cashed out at either time, the most the City can cash out is the number of hours accrued
and available in that calendar year to date. Employees must maintain a minimum of 40 hours
of accrued vacation subsequent to any payment of vacation buyback time.
Page 112

SECTION 21: VACATION ACCRUAL
City Manager may provide an accrual rate for new employees up to the equivalent of a ten-
year employee upon hire. This is important as many experienced candidates have a
significant time in the public sector and might have to begin at a much lower accrual rate
than they receive at their current agency.
SECTION 22: SICK LEAVE
All full-time employees shall, with continuous service, accrue 120 hours of sick leave
annually. New employees begin employment with 60 hours of sick leave. Sick leave accrual

SECTION 24: HOLIDAYS
The City Offices shall observe the following 14 holidays. All full time continuous salaried
employees shall be compensated at their regular rate for these days.

(3)November 11 Veteran's Day
(4)Fourth Thursday of November Thanksgiving Day
(5)Day following Thanksgiving Floater
(6)December 24 Day preceding Christmas
(7)December 25 Christmas Day
(8)January 1 New Year’s Day
(9)Third Monday of January Martin Luther King's Birthday
(10)Third Monday of February President’s Day
(11)Last Monday of May Memorial Day
(12) Three discretionary days may be taken by an employee at his/her convenience
subject to approval of the department head. Days may not be carried over from one
fiscal year to the next. Whenever a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday
shall be observed as a holiday. Whenever a holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, the
preceding Thursday shall be observed as the holiday. When a holiday combination
occurs (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) where two consecutive days are holidays and
it would result in the City Hall being open to serve the public only 2 days during the
week, only one of the holidays will be observed and the other holiday will become
a floating holiday, except as provided during a Holiday Closure pursuant to Section 27.
For example, for Thanksgiving, Thursday will be observed as the regular holiday;
however, Friday will become a floating holiday to be used at a later date. In the
instance of Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s, employees will have until June 30
to use those floating holidays accrued between Thanksgiving and New Years. Also,
those days will not accrue as floating holidays until the actual holiday has occurred.
Each year the City will designate which days will be observed and which are floating
holidays. Employees who are eligible to bank a holiday have until June 30 (end of fiscal
year) to use the banked holiday earned from July 1 through April 30. Any holiday
banked in May and June; employees have until September 30 to use the banked
holiday.
SECTION 25: HOLIDAY TIME

regular shift assignment requires they work that day, are eligible for pay at time and one-half
for working that day. This time and one-half may be taken as compensation or put in a
compensatory time off bank, (in effect, compensating at double time and one-half). That rate
of compensation is tallied as follows: The ten hours compensation for the holiday, plus
compensation at time and one-half for the hours actually worked. This payment at time and
Page 115
18
one-half abrogates the employee's right to that holiday.
SECTION 26: PREMIUM HOLIDAY COMPENSATION
Maintenance employees in the bargaining unit required as part of the regular work
assignment to work on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Independence Day, or
Thanksgiving Day, are allowed to observe the holiday on another day. Additionally, these
employees who work on the aforementioned designated holidays may select to receive
compensation on that holiday at time and one-half for the ten-hour shift or take a second
holiday as time off at a later date.
SECTION 27: HOLIDAY FACILITY CLOSURE
During the term of this MOU, there will be Holiday Facility Closures, certain City facilities
may close in conjunction with the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Closure dates for
City facilities shall be determined by the City in order to balance the impact on public
services. The City will strive to provide a schedule of Holiday Facility closures at least six
months or more in advance of the closure. During a holiday closure, affected represented
employees may take paid leave from holiday, management leave, compensatory time,
vacation accruals, personal leave, or use unpaid leave. When holiday closures are
implemented by the City, the provisions of Section 24 regarding consecutive holidays shall
not apply.
SECTION 28: NATAL AND ADOPTION LEAVE WITHOUT PAY
The City shall provide employees within the bargaining unit up to four months natal and
adoption leave for the birth or adoption of a child including the paid leave as outlined below;
such leave shall be pursuant to the provisions of the California Pregnancy Disability Act

SECTION 29: NATAL AND ADOPTION LEAVE WITH PAY
Employees within the bargaining unit are granted up to 120 hours of natal and adoption
leave with pay for the birth or adoption of a child, however, use of the 120 paid hours does
not extend any time charged under FMLA or CFRA or additional state and federal laws. Any
paid time required beyond this initial 120 hours must be charged to sick leave, vacation,
compensatory or floating holiday time.
SECTION 30: WORKERS COMPENSATION LEAVE
Any employee covered herein who is receiving disability payments under the "Workers
Compensation Act of California" for on-the-job injuries sustained while engaged in the
performance of duties of any such City position, shall receive from the City during the first
three months of such disability absence, payments in an amount equal to the difference
between the disability payments received under Workers Compensation Act and the
Page 116
19
employee's full salary. Such payments by the City should be made without any deduction
from accrued sick leave benefits. The City's obligation for such payments shall commence
on the first (1st) day of such disability absence. In the event the employee's disability
absence should exceed three months, an employee shall be allowed to supplement the
Workers Compensation benefit received under State law with available accrued sick
leave, accrued vacation leave or accrued compensatory time. The total number of leave
hours, along with the Workers Compensation benefit, shall not exceed the employee's
base pay for each day of the leave. For this purpose, accrued leave hours can only be
used in one-hour increments.
SECTION 31: MILITARY LEAVE
Employees required to serve military leave will be compensated pursuant to the Military and
Veterans Code. To qualify for compensation, the military orders must be submitted to the
supervisor prior to their tour of duty and must be attached to the timecard for that pay period.

Employees have the option for military service buy back at the employee's expense.
SECTION 33: OVERTIME

Only hours worked as defined here shall be considered for the purpose of calculating
the FLSA pay.
A.Maintenance (Non-Teamsters)
The City agrees that employees who are sent home to rest and to be available to
work additional hours as a result of a storm or impending emergency situation and
are not subsequently recalled to work, will be compensated for the hours not worked
in that shift, due to them having been sent home, to bring the total hours to 8 or 10
worked in that shift depending on their regular schedule.
Employees who are subsequently recalled to work the storm or an emergency
situation will work no more than 12 consecutive hours. Any hours worked in excess of
8 or 10 in that 12-hour shift depending on their regular schedule will be paid at time and
one-half, regardless of the total numbers of compensated hours for that work week.
SECTION 34: COMPENSATORY TIME
An employee that works overtime may decide to accrue compensatory time off (CTO) at 1.5
times the number of overtime hours worked instead of receiving immediate payment for
overtime worked. The maximum CTO that an employee may accrue is 240 hours. Once an
employee reaches that accrual cap, all additional overtime worked shall be paid. Employees
Page 117
20
may use CTO as time off, subject to supervisor approval. Supervisor shall not unreasonably
withhold approval for use of accrued CTO, and the need to replace the employee using CTO
with another employee on overtime shall not be the basis for denying a requested use of
CTO.
SECTION 35: CALL BACK PAY (NON-EXEMPT)
If an employee is required to be called back to work after completing his or her normal shift
or after having left City premises or the employee’s work location, the employee shall be
compensated at the rate for each hour worked on call back with a minimum of two (2) hours
call back compensation at the appropriate rate, regardless of whether the employee actually
works less than two (2) hours. The time starts when the call back call is received by the
employee. Employees must arrive at the worksite and perform the work required in order to
receive callback pay. When an employee is called on his/her day off or after hours for work

Employees may request that documentation related to a notice of an investigation or a
notice of an unfounded or an unsubstantiated finding(s) from an investigation be removed
from the employee’s personnel file.

SECTION 49: CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES
The City will provide RCCEA with a list of specific Confidential Employees whose positions are
covered by the Supervisory/Professional or General Employees' bargaining units. These
employees are designated as Confidential Employees due to the work they perform related

SUBJECT:Consideration of a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of
San Bernardino and Participating Cities for the West End Regional
Navigation Center, and Consideration of an Allocation in the Amount of
$400,000 from Eligible Funding Sources for the Regional Navigation
Center, including $300,000 for the City's Annual Contribution and
$100,000 for Transportation Services. (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County of San Bernardino and
participating cities for the West End Regional Navigation Center;
2. Authorize the allocation of $400,000 for the City’s participation in the West End Regional
Navigation Center, including $300,000 for the City’s annual commitment and $100,000 for
transportation services;
3. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to fund these costs utilizing any combination of
eligible funding sources, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Permanent
Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP), other state and federal
homelessness programs, and National Opioid Settlement Funds. To the extent that such
funds are unavailable or insufficient, the remaining balance will be funded from the General
Fund using funds appropriated in the approved FY 2025/26 Budget; and
4. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the MOU and take all necessary actions
to effectuate the City’s participation in the West End Regional Navigation Center.
BACKGROUND:
Homelessness continues to present complex and growing challenges across California and the
Inland Empire, including within Rancho Cucamonga. While the City remains recognized for its
high quality of life, safe neighborhoods, and proactive planning, rising housing instability and
visible homelessness highlight the need for coordinated, compassionate, and regional solutions.
The 2025 San Bernardino County Point-in-Time Count recorded 3,837 individuals experiencing
homelessness countywide, including 2,636 unsheltered individuals living in vehicles,
encampments, or other places not meant for habitation. The West Valley cities account for over
Page 129
Page 2
3
1
2
9
550 unsheltered individuals, underscoring the urgent need for a regional response that no single
jurisdiction can address alone.
Although Rancho Cucamonga’s numbers remain lower than many neighboring jurisdictions, the
upward trend—driven by regional factors such as housing affordability, economic challenges,
behavioral health system gaps, and discharges from institutional settings without stable housing—
emphasizes the importance of sustained collaboration. The City’s outreach and public safety
teams routinely encounter individuals experiencing homelessness who lack immediate access to
safe shelter, behavioral health care, or recovery supports. Existing emergency housing resources
within the region remain limited and are often at capacity, resulting in barriers to stabilization and
recovery.
To address these regional challenges, the County of San Bernardino and participating West
Valley cities - including Chino, Chino Hills, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga,
Rialto, and Upland - are collaborating to develop the West End Navigation Center (“Center”). The
Center, located at 10785 Laurel Street in Fontana, will expand the region’s capacity to provide
temporary shelter and supportive services, serving as a key resource to help individuals transition
from crisis to stability.
ANALYSIS:
The West End Navigation Center represents a regional, housing-focused solution designed to
strengthen the coordinated response to homelessness across the West Valley. It is designed as
a low-barrier, housing-focused service hub that will provide stability, connection to services, and
direct pathways to permanent housing.
The West End Navigation Center goes beyond traditional emergency shelters by integrating case
management, behavioral health care, medical oversight, coordinated social services, housing
navigation, and workforce development within a single, coordinated facility. The Center will
operate with a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, delivering comprehensive
services that address the complex needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
The Center will provide 200 beds and operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year
as a referral-only, managed-access facility serving participating jurisdictions in the West Valley.
The Center will provide three integrated components:
Emergency Shelter Services: Low-barrier accommodations with meals, hygiene and
laundry facilities, intensive case management, behavioral health services, housing
navigation, transportation assistance, and benefits enrollment.
Recuperative Care Services: Temporary residential accommodations, medical oversight,
and case management for individuals discharged from hospitals who require continued
medical recovery but lack stable housing.
Sobering Center Services: A monitored space for individuals under the influence of alcohol
or other substances who do not require hospitalization, providing medical monitoring,
crisis intervention, and referrals to substance use treatment.
The Center will be staffed by multidisciplinary teams that include case managers, behavioral
health professionals, and County service providers. Clients will be referred through approved
channels such as participating jurisdictions, law enforcement, hospitals, and outreach teams—
ensuring a coordinated and secure intake process.

Operational Overview
Total of 200 beds – 100 emergency shelter beds, 100 recuperative medical care beds,
plus a sobering center
24/7 operations – Round-the-clock staffing, case management, and security; residents
remain in place with an emphasis on stability and continuity.
Referral-only admissions – No walk-ins/walk-offs; all entries and exits coordinated for
safety and care continuity
One-stop service model – On-site services include Behavioral Health, Substance Use
Services, Public Health, Transitional Assistance, Workforce Development, and the Office
of Homeless Services (OHS) for housing navigation and Continuum of Care coordination.
Low-barrier design – Guests may bring pets, partners, and personal belongings, reducing
barriers to entry.
Comprehensive supports – Meals, case management, benefits enrollment, transportation,
and employment services provided on-site.
Transportation coordination will also play a key role in connecting individuals to the Center. The
West Valley Detention Center is located in Rancho Cucamonga, and individuals from multiple
jurisdictions are released there daily, some without stable housing. The City will work with the
County and local partners to establish safe and consistent transportation between the detention
facility and the Center. This approach ensures that individuals exiting custody have immediate
access to shelter, services, and stabilization supports rather than returning to unsheltered
homelessness.
The project is currently in the design phase, with construction anticipated to take approximately 9
to 12 months and an expected opening in summer 2026. Once complete, the Center will serve as
a vital extension of Rancho Cucamonga’s local homelessness response—providing outreach and
public safety teams with a structured, regional facility where individuals can stabilize, access care,
and transition toward permanent housing. This resource will help fill a critical gap for individuals
who might otherwise cycle between encampments, emergency rooms, or the criminal justice
system without access to long-term solutions.
Financial Structure
The development and operation of the West End Navigation Center are supported through a
shared regional investment model designed to ensure long-term sustainability and equitable cost
distribution among participating partners. The County of San Bernardino has committed a $20
million capital investment to acquire the fully improved building from the City of Fontana, along
with an additional $5 million Capitalized Operating Subsidy Reserve (COSR) to stabilize
operations. Annual operating costs are projected at approximately $3 million, shared between the
County and participating cities.
Each city’s contribution is based on a tiered, pro rata cost-sharing structure that reflects population
size, the estimated number of unhoused individuals within its jurisdiction, and access to existing
local shelter resources. This approach ensures that costs and available beds are allocated
equitably in proportion to each city’s level of investment and service needs. Emergency bed
allocations are tied to funding levels, with a $200,000 contribution corresponding to five beds, a
$250,000 contribution corresponding to seven beds, and contributions of $300,000 or more
corresponding to ten beds. Contribution levels will be evaluated every two years and adjusted as
Page 131
Page 4

9
needed based on population changes and available grant funding, to maintain fairness and fiscal
sustainability.
Based on the County’s tiered cost-sharing structure, Rancho Cucamonga’s annual contribution is
$300,000, which secures ten dedicated beds for City residents and provides access to
comprehensive wraparound services. This funding level reflects the City’s relative population size
as one of the largest cities in the West End, as well as its local resource capacity within the
broader regional system. While other West End cities operate dedicated emergency or navigation-
level shelters in their communities, Rancho Cucamonga currently does not, making this
investment a practical approach to ensure reliable local access to beds and integrated services
for our residents - resources that would otherwise require significant local investment to develop
and sustain independently. Participation in this regional initiative represents a strategic investment
that enhances service capacity, strengthens interagency coordination, and improves outcomes
for Rancho Cucamonga residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Rancho Cucamonga’s participation in the West End Navigation Center will require an annual
operating contribution of $300,000, as established in the Memorandum of Understanding. Staff
recommends an additional allocation of $100,000 to support transportation services between the
West Valley Detention Center and the West End Navigation Center, ensuring individuals released
from custody have direct access to shelter and supportive services.
Council authorization would allow staff to fund these costs utilizing any combination of eligible
funding sources, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Permanent Local
Housing Allocation (PLHA), Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP), other state and federal
homelessness programs, and National Opioid Settlement Funds. To the extent that such funds
are unavailable or insufficient, the remaining balance will be funded from the General Fund using
funds appropriated in the approved FY 2025/26 Budget.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This initiative helps realize the City Council’s core values of “Providing and nurturing a high quality
of life for all” and “Promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all” by supporting
the well-being and stability of the community’s most vulnerable residents.

accessible to homeless individuals and families regardless of income, mental
health status, or substance use disorders. The Facility shall accommodate
residents' personal belongings, pets, and partners within operational capacity.
Barriers to entry shall be minimal, and case managers will provide individualized
assessments and service plans based on each person's needs and available
resources to support housing stability.
2. Facility Operations Parameters. The Operations Plan shall establish the Facility
as a coordinated entry navigation center with the following operational
requirements:
a) Admissions Process. The Facility shall not accept walk-in admissions. All
prospective residents must be referred through a participating jurisdiction,
law enforcement or approved healthcare provider and transported by an
agency, department, or organization that has been authorized by the
County or a participating City Party to conduct outreach and make referrals
to the Facility, before admission can occur.
b) Resident Movement. Residents may leave the premises for activities that
support their housing stability and personal well-being, including but not

programs, family reunification efforts, faith-related activities, and other
case plan objectives, subject to coordination with Facility staff and
available transportation arrangements. For school-age children at the
Facility, the Facility Operator shall coordinate with the appropriate local
education agency, in accordance with the federal McKinney-Vento
Homeless Assistance Act, to ensure safe and reliable transportation to and
from school and related educational activities.
c) Discharge and Transport. When a resident is discharged for non-
compliance with facility requirements or voluntarily chooses to leave, the
Page 143
PAGE 12 OF 26
Facility Operator shall coordinate an alternative housing placement if
possible. If not available, the Facility Operator will arrange transportation
back to the city of origin. Discharges of residents who are deemed violent
or otherwise dangerous shall be coordinated with appropriate agencies

may not be modified or deleted without advance written approval of all
Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “No Walk-In / No Walk-Out”
requirement described in Section VI.F.2(a) and the “Return to City of
Origin” provision described in Section VI.F.2(c) are mandatory and shall
not be amended, modified, or eliminated under any circumstances.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council certify the Environmental Impact Report, make findings
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality, adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting
program, adopt the corresponding Statement of Overriding Considerations, and approve the
following: Design Review (DRC2023-00067), Master Plan (DRC2023-00072), Vesting Tentative
Parcel Map (SUBTPM20713), Conditional Use Permit (DRC2023-00088), and Tree Removal
Permit (DRC2023-00070) through the adoption of the attached resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The 30.11-acre project site currently comprises 8 parcels of land which are bounded by Haven
Avenue to the west, 7th Street to the north, Utica Avenue to the east, and 6th Street to the south.
To be clear, the project does not include the parcel at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and
7th Street (APN 0209-41-101). The project area has a general plan land use designation of 21st
Century Employment and is located within the Mixed Employment 2 (ME-2) zone. The project
area also has a Corridor Frontage Overlay of Commercial and Retail along the Haven Avenue
frontage extending to the corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street.
The project area is currently improved with 4 existing buildings which total approximately 208,575
square feet. This includes two office buildings located near the northeast corner of Haven Avenue
and 6th Street (9227 Haven Avenue and 9267 Haven Avenue), an existing beverage distribution

warehouse facility near the northwest corner of Utica Avenue and 6th Street (10670 6th Street),
and an existing industrial building near the southwest corner of Utica Avenue and 7th Street
(10655 7th Street). Other existing improvements include parking areas, truck loading areas, drive
aisles and existing landscaping. There is a large unused area at the center of the site which is
currently vacant covered in native and nonnative shrubs and grasses. Of these existing buildings,
9227 Haven Avenue and 10670 6th Street will be demolished. 9267 Haven Avenue will be
renovated, and 10655 7th Street is to be determined to remain or be demolished as part of a
proposed “Phase 2” at a later date.

On October 8, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the item at a duly noticed public
hearing. All commissioners expressed excitement and support for the project and were all in favor,
however two commissioners did note that the project frontage along Haven Avenue did appear
too industrial in its aesthetic and recommended that the developer consider additional
architectural enhancements which might better integrate the project’s Haven Avenue frontage to
the General Plan vision for the Haven Avenue corridor. Also, commissioners noted and concurred
that the project achieves a critical economic development goal of attracting and retaining a Food
Processing and Manufacturing Use, which has been identified as a target industry for the City.

After deliberation, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City
Council certify the Environmental Impact Report, adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, adopt the corresponding Statement of Overriding Considerations, and approve the
associated entitlements. The Planning Commission staff report and meeting minutes are included
with this staff report as Attachment 6.
ANALYSIS:
Project Design and Layout
The applicant proposes a two-phase redevelopment and expansion of an existing beverage
distribution facility as described above. Phase 1 includes the construction of approximately
959,441 square feet of new building area which includes a new beverage Production Center (PC),
Distribution Center (DC), an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), an elevated truck
deck, and associated parking and landscaped areas, new fences and walls. In addition, a new 4-
story parking structure totaling approximately 208,444 square feet is also proposed to be built at
the southerly end of the project area adjacent to 6th Street. The existing 32,890 square foot office
building at 9267 Haven Avenue will remain and is proposed to be renovated into office space as
part of Phase 1. The existing office building at 9227 Haven Avenue will be demolished. Lastly,
Phase 1 also includes the construction of a ground water supply well located at the northwest
corner if Utica Avenue and 6th Street. Currently, the applicant proposes to enclose this water
infrastructure with a wrought iron fence.
Phase 2 of the project includes two options wherein the developer proposes to either maintain
the existing 62,210 square foot building at 10655 7th Street or demolish this building and replace
it with a new 40,085 square foot building at the same location. This decision has not yet been
made by the developer and the eventual option selected will depend on operational needs once
the new facility is in operation. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) analyzed both Phase 2
scenarios. Lastly, Phase 2 will also include the construction and operation of a co-generation
facility, which is an interior element of the primary building and is a component of the processing
of beverages.
The following images depict the proposed site plan, and various elevations and renderings which
highlight the architectural theme of the development. For a full discussion on design and
architecture, please reference the October 8, 2025 Planning Commission staff report and meeting
minutes included with this report as Attachment 6.

Compliance with General Plan, Development Standards and Master Plan
In addition to the Design Review application, the project applicant has applied for a Master Plan,
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, Conditional Use Permit and Tree Removal Permit. The Project has
been reviewed by City staff to conform to all relevant standards and regulations upon approval of
the master plan. The Project is also required to meet public art requirements. For a full discussion
on the above items, please reference the October 8, 2025 Planning Commission staff report and
meeting minutes.
As proposed, and given the unique nature of the “campus-style” development, and in order to
meet all necessary development regulations, the applicant has requested establishing site-
specific development standards as permitted through the Master Plan process to address the
following development standards:
Building Typology, Facades, and Articulation standards;
Ground Floor Entrance requirements and Other Ground Floor Treatments (i.e. percentage
of window openings);
Corridor Fronting Ground Floor Use Restrictions;
Build-to-Line and Frontage Area;
Parking and Bicycle Parking Standards;
Landscaping and Open Space Standards;
Walls and Fences standards.
A full description of requested site-specific development standards is included with this report as
Attachment 3 (Master Plan).
Staff notes that Development Code Section 17.22.020 establishes that the purpose of a Master
Plan is to “allow for the coordinated comprehensive planning of a subarea of the city in order to
accomplish certain objectives, which include but are not limited to: 1) allowing development of an
exceptional project design that cannot be built under an existing zone or due to constraints of
existing development standards; and 2) provide flexibility for developments beyond conventional
zoning regulations to address special or unique needs or characteristics.” In this case, the
developer is proposing to expand an existing beverage distribution facility which has been in
operation in the city since the 1980s. Further, approving the project also achieves a critical
Economic Development goal of expanding food and beverage manufacturing uses in the City,
which is an identified “Target Industry.” Further, the expansion of existing clean industrial uses is
Page 163

expressly permitted with the 21st Century Employment District pursuant to the General Plan
(Volume 2, Page 87).
In summary, approval of the master plan to allow for the developer’s requested site-specific
development standards would allow the existing business to remain in the city, provide additional
jobs to the benefit of the community, and further our economic development goals to expand food
and beverage manufacturing uses.
Environmental Review
Pursuant to the California Environmental Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
(SCH#2023080369) has been prepared for this project. Under CEQA, the purpose of an EIR is to
inform the public about any significant impacts to the physical environment resulting from a
project, identify ways to avoid or lessen the impacts, identify alternatives and promote public
participation.
The intent of the EIR is to address and evaluate potentially significant impacts of the proposed
projects and identify feasible mitigation measures and alternatives that may be adopted to reduce
or eliminate these impacts. A summary of all project- related impacts and the recommended
mitigation measures is provided in the Final EIR which is included with this staff report, along with
all other environmental documentation, as Attachment 4. The following summarizes key points in
the environmental review process:
Notice of Preparation and Public Scoping Meeting
The Notice of Preparation (NOP) serves as public notification that an EIR is being prepared and
requests comment and input from responsible agencies and other interested parties regarding
environmental issues to be addressed in the document. In addition to the NOP, CEQA
recommends conducting a scoping meeting for the purpose of identifying the range of potential
significant impacts that should be analyzed within the scope of the Draft EIR. The public scoping
meeting is to receive public testimony on those issues that the public would like to have addressed
in the EIR as it relates to the project and environment.
Accordingly, a notice advertising both the NOP and Public Scoping Meeting notice was prepared
for the project and circulated on August 17, 2023, to the State Clearinghouse, public agencies,
Native American tribes, and those interested parties who had previously requested notification.
However, the NOP was subsequently cancelled to address a scheduling conflict regarding the
Scoping Meeting; a revised NOP was prepared and issued on September 14, 2023. On
September 28th, 2023, the City conducted a Scoping Meeting on the proposed project, the NOP
and the EIR process but there were no attendees at the scoping meeting.
The public comment period to respond to the NOP closed on October 13, 2023, and comment
letters were received from the following: California Department of Justice, California Native
American Heritage Commission, Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER),
Southwest Mountain States Regional Council of Carpenter (SWMSRCC), South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) and Californians Allied for Responsible Economy (CARECA).
Written responses to all significant environmental issues raised were prepared and made
available in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).
AB 52 Compliance
Formal notification in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 52 was sent on August 30, 2023, to
tribal communities from a list of six tribes that have requested notification by the city. In response
to these notices, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) responded and engaged in
Page 164

consultation. SMBMI requested the inclusion of specific cultural resource protection language,
which has been incorporate into the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The
Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation formally responded to the AB 52 notification on
September 29, 2023, during which the tribe requested the presence of a tribal monitor during all
grading activities. Although no known tribal cultural resources were identified within the project
area, mitigation measures have been added to ensure protection in the event of unexpected
discoveries during site disturbance. Thus, the CEQA document prepared for the project reflects
the requested language/mitigation measures.
Draft EIR Preparation and Circulation
The Notice of Availability (NOA) for the DEIR was distributed on April 24, 2024, and the DEIR was
circulated for a 45-day public review period beginning April 29, 2025, and concluding on June 13,
2025, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines The NOA included links to the full DEIR and technical
appendices and was posted with the San Bernardino County Clerk, published in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin, and mailed to property owners within 660 feet of the project site as well as to
individuals and organizations that requested notification. The DEIR was also submitted via
CEQAnet to the California Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation for distribution to relevant
state agencies. The documents were also posted to the City’s website for public review during
the same period. Hard copies of the DEIR and all technical appendices were provided for public
review at the following locations:
Archibald Library – 7368 Archibald Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730;
Paul A Baine Library – 12505 Cultural Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739;
Planning Department Public Counter at City Hall – 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho
Cucamonga, CA 91730.
Written comments on the DEIR were received from the following agencies and organizations:
California Office of Planning and Research
California Air Resources Board
State Water Resources Control Board
Southern California Gas Company
Cucamonga Valley Water District
South Coast Air Quality Management District
Lozeau Drury LLP, on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility
Blum, Collin & Ho LLP, on behalf of Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance and
SWAPE
Advocates for the Environment
City of Ontario Traffic/Transportation Manager
California Department of Transportation (Cal Trans)
These comments and the City’s responses have been incorporated into the Final EIR. The DEIR,
FEIR, technical appendices, and mitigation are available on the City’s website under the “CEQA
Documents Available for Review” section, located at: https://www.cityofrc.us/community-
development/planning
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP)
In compliance with CEQA, a mitigation monitoring and reporting program has been prepared. The
MMRP is a reporting program that identifies each adopted mitigation measure or project design
feature that reduces the significance level of a particular impact. The MMRP indicates
responsibility and timing milestones for each mitigation measure.

Findings of Fact in Support of Determinations Related to Significant Environmental Impacts
The EIR concludes that upon implementation of the project and all recommended mitigation
measures, impacts associated with the project would remain significant and unavoidable for
certain issue areas. These impacts include air pollutant emissions which exceed SCAQMD daily
Nox thresholds specifically for project operations, as well as an exceedance of regional
construction thresholds even with implementation of all mitigations. Also, the project will result in
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) which exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds. These impacts will
remain after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. As part of project approval, the
City Council will be required to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations (included with the
draft City Council resolution in Attachment 7), which acknowledges these unavoidable impacts.
In addition to the project benefits which are highlighted in the Draft Statement of Overriding
Considerations, the applicant has also provided a list of additional project benefits which is being
included with this report as Attachment 5.
In accordance with CEQA, the Final EIR, including responses to comments, was provided to all
commentors on October 24, 2025, at least 10-days prior to the Council’s decision date. Also on
October 24, 2025, staff was made aware of an email from Caltrans District 8 dated June 13, 2025,
which included a misspelled email address. Due to this error, this June 13th letter from Cal Trans
was inadvertently omitted from the Responses to Comments in the draft Final EIR document that
was reviewed by the Planning Commission on October 8, 2025. When this error was realized,
responses to comments were provided to this commentor on October 24, 2025, in compliance
with relevant CEQA guidelines and the conditions of approval have been updated accordingly.
Staff notes that none of the comments provided by Cal Trans result in any additional impacts or
substantive changes which were not already considered by the Planning Commission. For
reference, this letter and the City’s responses (titled “Addendum Memorandum to PC Draft FEIR”)
are included with this staff report as Attachment 4, along with all other environmental
documentation for the project.
Correspondence
A notice of public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 660 feet of the subject property,
the site was posted, and a notice of public hearing was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
on October 22, 2025. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any comments in
response to the City Council public hearing notices.
Staff notes that prior to the Planning Commission public hearing, over 50 letters of support were
received from individuals, other stakeholders and community groups, including some of those
stakeholders who had previously commented on the Draft EIR. These letters may be reviewed
separately as an attachment to the October 8, 2025, Planning Commission staff report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project is expected to generate economic benefits to the City. In addition to required one-
time permit and development impact fees, it is also anticipated that the project will create both
temporary construction jobs and permanent jobs. Specifically, the project is anticipated to
generate approximately 100 new jobs immediately and expand up to 289 permanent jobs beyond
which already exist at the existing facility at full build out. The project will also generate
approximately 400 temporary construction jobs. In addition, the increased employment could
indirectly benefit other local businesses due to increased demand.
The expanded facility is likely to create long-term positive economic benefits to surrounding
businesses such as hotels, restaurants and other business support services. The project scale
Page 166

and operational reach will serve as a key anchor for strengthening the City’s food manufacturing
sector, which could attract complementary businesses.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
The development of the project achieves the City Council’s Core Value of “Intentionally embracing
and anticipating the future,” by positioning Rancho Cucamonga as a competitive hub for food
manufacturing in the region.

(DRC2023-00068), and Tree Removal Permit (DRC2023-00070) through the adoption of the
attached Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The 30.1-acre project site currently comprises 8 parcels of land which are bounded by Haven
Avenue to the west, 7th Street to the north, Utica Avenue to the east, and 6th Street to the south.
To be clear, the project does not include the parcel at the southeast corner of Haven Avenue and
7th Street (APN0209-41-101). The project area has a general plan land use designation of 21st
Century Employment and is located within the Mixed Employment 2 (ME-2) zone. The project
area also has a Corridor Frontage Overlay of Commercial and Retail along the Haven Avenue
frontage extending to the corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street.
The project area is currently improved with 4 existing buildings which total approximately 208,575
square feet. This includes two office buildings located near the northeast corner of Haven Avenue
and 6th Street (9227 Haven Avenue and 9267 Haven Avenue), an existing beverage distribution
warehouse facility near the northwest corner of Utica Avenue and 6th Street (10670 6th Street),
and an existing industrial building near the southwest corner of Utica Avenue and 7th Street

(10655 7th Street). Other existing improvements include parking areas, truck loading areas, drive
aisles and existing landscaping. There is a large unused area at the center of the site which is
currently vacant covered in native and nonnative shrubs and grasses. Of these existing buildings,
9227 Haven Avenue and 10670 6th Street will be demolished. 9267 Haven Avenue will be
renovated, and 10655 7th Street is to be determined to remain or be demolished as part of a
proposed “Phase 2” at a later date.

Entitlement Changes
The applicant originally proposed a Development Agreement and Uniform Sign Program as part
of the entitlement submittal package. Prior to the scheduling of the public hearing, the applicant
withdrew their request for a Development Agreement and will instead be pursuing a Vesting
Tentative Map under Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Chapter 16.49. The Vesting Tentative
Map provides the developer with a statutory vesting process that locks in applicable ordinances,
policies, and standards in effect at the time the Vesting Parcel Map application was deemed
complete. Also prior to the public hearing, and upon further review, staff determined that the
Uniform Sign Program entitlement was unnecessary and the applicant subsequently removed this
entitlement from the application request. Staff notes that with these entitlement changes, the
overall project scope, design, and operational intent remain unchanged.
ANALYSIS:
Project Design and Layout
The applicant proposes a two-phase redevelopment and expansion of an existing beverage
distribution facility as described above. Phase 1 includes the construction of approximately
959,441 square feet of new building area which includes a new beverage Production Center (PC),
Distribution Center (DC), an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), an elevated truck
deck, and associated parking and landscaped areas, new fences and walls. The PC, DC and
ASRS components of the project will be in one large building which is the focal point of the project
located at the south-central portion of the project area (henceforth referred to in this report as the
PC/DC/ASRS building). In addition, a new 4-story parking structure totaling approximately
208,444 square feet is also proposed to be built at the southerly end of the project area adjacent
to 6th Street. The existing 32,890 square foot office building at 9267 Haven Avenue will remain
and is proposed to be renovated into office space as part of Phase 1. Lastly, Phase 1 also includes
the construction of a ground water supply well located at the northwest corner if Utica Avenue
and 6th Street. Currently, the applicant proposes to enclose this water infrastructure with a wrought
iron fence.
Phase 2 of the project includes two options wherein the developer proposes to either maintain
the existing 62,210 square foot building at 10655 7th Street or demolish this building and replace
it with a new 40,085 square foot building at the same location. This decision has not yet been
made and the eventual option selected will depend on operational needs once the new facility is
in operation. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) analyzed both scenarios. Lastly, Phase 2
will also include the construction and operation of a co-generation facility, which is an interior
element of the PC/DC/ASRS building and is a component of the processing of beverages.

Architecture and Site Planning
The applicant proposes a variety of building materials throughout the site. Specifically, the
PC/DC/ASRS building, which at 131 feet tall is the dominant feature of the project, will provide a
façade on all elevations comprised of insulated metal paneling of various colors ranging from grey
to red. Other elevations will include tilt-up concrete construction in addition to metal panel
elements, except for the east elevation which will also include metal structural components to
support a raised truck deck and ramp. Other street-facing facades throughout the project, such
as the 41-foot-tall parking structure, combines insulated metal panels with metal mesh intended
to screen the structure and provide design consistency throughout. Office building facades will
Page 177
Page 5 of 13

comprise metal and stucco elements, in addition to glazing and window surrounds comprised of
metal paneling.
Fig. 2: South elevation of proposed project, representative of color scheme and massing.
Fig. 3: West elevation of Haven Avenue office building, representative of office façade theme.
The Haven Avenue frontage (west elevation of the PC/DC/ASRS) is a design focal point. To meet
the General Plan’s expectation that buildings within the 21st Century Employment District be
closer to the street and provide ground floor transparency, while also trying to maintain internal
security for the user, the applicant proposes opaque spandrel glass, exaggerated window
surrounds made of metal paneling, and multiple vertical elements comprised of dark metal
paneling. The window surrounds and vertical features protrude from the painted concrete tilt-wall
to provide depth and includes double-high opaque spandrel glass window features so as to
provide the presence of a two-story façade.
The project also incorporates substantial pedestrian-oriented frontage improvements, which
include a sidewalk with spaced shaded trees along Haven Avenue, a sidewalk with landscaped
buffers along 6th Street, 7th Street and Utica Avenue. Streetscape enhancements feature two
upgraded paving areas with seat wall along 6th Street and a protected cycle track along the 6th
Street frontage, encouraging active transportation and supporting a cohesive streetscape.
Together these improvements strengthen the areas mobility network, supporting transit readiness
and create a more walkable connected environment.

Relative to the images above, staff notes that the developer had originally proposed a frontage
lane along Haven Avenue, as seen in the images above and plan set attached to this report. Staff
determined that the frontage lane along this portion of Haven Avenue is not necessary, and it was
therefore removed from the project. Staff has added a condition of approval requiring that all plans
shall be modified accordingly for staff review and approval to the satisfaction of the Engineering
Department prior to building permit issuance.
Compliance with General Plan and Development Standards
The 21st Century Employment District is envisioned to provide for professional office and
innovative businesses, and while residential uses are permitted, Volume 2, page 87 of the
General Plan explicitly allows existing industrial uses to remain and expansions with clean
industrial are allowed. In this case, staff notes that the use and user has existed at the site since
at least the 1980s. With this provision, the General Plan allows for the expansion of this use.
Regarding compliance with development standards, the project applicant has applied for a Master
Plan to establish site specific development standards for several development criteria (see
“Master Plan” section below). Please see the reference table below regarding the project’s
compliance with relevant development standards:

Parking
Pursuant to Development Code Sections 17.64.050, 17.64.090, and Table 17.64.050-1, parking
for industrial uses is based on a combination of warehouse, manufacturing, and office square
footages. Specifically, warehouse parking is calculated at a rate of 1 space per 1,000 square feet
for the first 20,000 square feet, 1 per 2,000 square feet for the next 20,000 square feet, and 1 per
4,000 square feet thereafter. In addition, office areas require parking at a rate of 1 space per 250
square feet. Further, the Development Code requires one trailer loading stall for each dock door
proposed.
As such, Development Code Section 17.64.050 specifies the minimum number of passenger
vehicle and trailer parking spaces required for a variety of land uses. A direct application of the
Municipal Code parking requirements to the project results in 794 required spaces for passenger
vehicles and 59 spaces for trailers. The table below demonstrates the project’s compliance with
all parking standards:

The project will provide 521 auto parking stalls, 87 trailer parking stalls, 57 truck dock doors, and
4 at grade dock doors. Of the auto parking stalls, nine would be ADA accessible and 25 would
allow for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, per the California Building Code (CBC). 20 percent (five
stalls) of all EV charging stalls would be constructed prior to occupancy of Phase 1 Project
operations while the remainder would be provided prior to occupancy of Phase 2.
A parking analysis was prepared for the project which anticipated parking demand over a typical
24-hour period. The peak parking demand was estimated to be 464 spaces from 11:00AM to
12:00PM using the employment projections for the site and assuming every employee on-site
generated demand for one parking space. Based on this information, the applicant has also
requested site-specific parking requirements pursuant to their Master Plan request which are
based on the project’s parking analysis. Staff notes that the project involves a single-tenant user,
thus there is a high degree of confidence in the parking analysis provided, as opposed to if the
project included a multi-tenant commercial center or a speculative development where the end-
user was not known. Thus, staff recommends that this customization of parking requirements be
approved as part of the master plan request. In short, between the parking analysis for the project
and the proposed site-specific development standard for parking established in the project’s
Master Plan, parking is sufficient.
Landscaping
The project proposes significant landscaping along the project frontage and internal employee
areas around office and building entrances. In particular, landscaping along the Haven Avenue
and 6th Street frontage is designed to imitate urban parklets, wherein features such as enhanced
paving and low seat walls invite pedestrians into the project perimeter. The project complies with
applicable landscape standards. The project includes the planting of approximately 269 new
trees, consisting of a mix of 24-inch and 36-inch box sizes. Species include Brisbane Box
(Lophostemon confertus) and Chines Pistache (Pistacia chinensis), which will be used as primary
shade trees. Other trees such as Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Marina Strawberry Tree
(Arbutus ‘Marina’) are included throughout the site to enhance visual appeal and ecological value.
The remainder of the landscaped areas will feature ornamental groundcover, drought tolerant
shrubs and flowering accent plants designed to support water-efficient, low-maintenance site
aesthetics.
New Cucamonga Valley Water District Well
As part of the project’s initial phase, a new groundwater supply well will be constructed at the
southwest corner of 6th Street and Utica Avenue. This well will serve as a dedicated water source
Page 180
Page 8 of 13

4
for the project and will be designed and built to meet the Cucamonga Valley Water District
(CVWD) standards and requirements. It will have the capacity to meet the project’s peak water
demand of approximately 1,270 gallons per minute. A 16-foot-wide driveway is proposed to
provide CVWD with direct access for operations, maintenance and monitoring. To connect the
well to the existing water system, the project will install approximately 2,700 linear feet of 12-
inchater transmission pipe. The pipeline will run from the well site to 6th Street right of way,
continue east along 6th Street, then turn north along 6th Street, then turn north along Cleveland
Avenue before tying into an existing inlet that supplies two steel tank reservoirs. These reservoirs
are located at the northeast corner of 7th Street and Cleveland Avenue, just northeast of the
project site. The well site and all related facilities will be enclosed with security fencing and
screened to ensure safe operation and to limit access to authorized CVWD personnel.
Entitlements Required for Proposed Development
In addition to the Design Review application, the project applicant has applied for a Master Plan,
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, Conditional Use Permit and Tree Removal Permit. Pursuant to
Municipal Code Section 17.14.060.B, “when a proposed project 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.” The Master Plan included in the entitlement package requires City Council
review and approval pursuant to Development Code Section 17.22.020. Accordingly, the City
Council is the approving authority for this project. Therefore, the Planning Commission is the
recommending body for the entitlements.
Master Plan (DRC2023-00072):Development Code Section 17.22.020 establishes that
the purpose of a Master Plan is to allow for the coordinated comprehensive planning of
a subarea of the city in order to accomplish certain objectives, which include but are not
limited to: 1) allowing development of an exceptional project design that cannot be built
under an existing zone or due to constraints of existing development standards; and 2)
provide flexibility for developments beyond conventional zoning regulations to address
special or unique needs or characteristics.
In this case, the developer is proposing to expand an existing beverage distribution
facility which has been in operation in the city since the 1980s. The project would allow
the existing business to remain in the city, provide additional jobs to the benefit of the
community, and further our economic development goals to expand manufacturing
uses. The proposed project cannot meet the strict criteria of all current development
standards and the applicant has proposed a Master Plan to allow development of an
exceptional project while providing flexibility beyond conventional zoning regulations.
Specifically, the applicant has requested establishing site-specific development
standards as permitted through the Master Plan process to address the following
development standards: Building Typology; Building Facades; Building Articulation;
Ground Floor Entrances; Other Ground Floor Treatments; Corridor Fronting Ground
Floor Use Restrictions; Build-to-Line and Frontage Area; Parking Standards; Bicycle
Parking; Signage; Open Space Standards and Walls and Fences.. A full description of
requested site-specific development standards is included with this report as Exhibit C
(Master Plan).
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (SUBTPM20713): The proposed Vesting Tentative Parcel
Map would consolidate the eight existing parcels within the approximately 30.1-acre
project site and subdivide them into three new parcels to support the development of
the project. Parcel 1 would be approximately 25.43 acres and would accommodate the
Page 181
Page 9 of 13
3

9
4
new industrial building, the proposed parking structure, surface parking areas and
renovated office building. Parcel 2 would be approximately 0.68 acres and would be
dedicated for new site access from 7th Street, providing a direct vehicular ingress and
egress to the project and Parcel 3 would be approximately 3.89 acres and would
contain the existing 7th Street warehouse building and associated parking. The
subdivision layout reflects the intended functional use of the site.
Conditional Use Permit (DRC2023-00068): The applicant is requesting approval of a
Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Table 17.136.020-1 of the City’s Development Code
to allow Manufacturing, Light-Large. Staff notes that any distribution component of the
business is considered ancillary to the primary Light-Large Manufacturing use.
Tree Removal Permit (DRC2023-00070): Across the site currently, there are 257 trees
which would be removed as part of this project. Of these, 24 trees are heritage trees.
Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.16.080, a tree removal permit is required for
the removal of heritage trees. The applicant has provided an arborist report detailing
these trees to be removed, which is included with this report as an appendix to the
Environmental Impact Report. Staff notes that pursuant to Section 17.80.040, these 24
Heritage Trees are proposed for removal and would be replaced accordance with the
City’s tree replacement standards, which require specific replacement amounts based
on the size and type of each tree. Accordingly, the landscape plan proposes
approximately 269 new trees that would provide a mix of shade, screening and
ornamental planting consistent with City requirements.
Public Art
The project is subject to the public art requirement provided in Chapter 17.124 of the Development
Code. The requirement is calculated at one dollar per square foot of building area, exclusive of
parking structures. Considering the project involves the demolition of existing structures, the
retention and remodeling of other structures, the two options within Phase 2, staff estimates that
the public art valuation for this project will be approximately $775,000 square feet. This estimated
valuation for public art will be determined prior to building permit issuance.
Design Review Committee
The Design Review Committee (Boling and Daniels) reviewed the project on May 7, 2024.
Committee members had general comments regarding the project’s architecture and design, and
site planning. At the DRC meeting, committee members also discussed the need to screen the
CVWD water well infrastructure from public view. Upon consulting with CVWD, staff notes that
the screening of water well infrastructure is not permitted by CVWD. Thus, the applicant will
propose wrought-iron security fencing around the CVWD water well. No members of the public
attended the DRC meeting to speak on the item, and the Design Review Committee
recommended that the item be forwarded to the Planning Commission as presented.
Environmental Review
Pursuant to the California Environmental Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
(SCH#2023080369) has been prepared for this project. Under CEQA, the purpose of an EIR is to
inform the public about any significant impacts to the physical environment resulting from a
project, identify ways to avoid or lessen the impacts, identify alternatives and promote public
participation. The contents of the EIR become a planning tool for the Planning Commission to use
in determining the appropriate and best land use for the project site.
Page 182
Page 10 of 13

The intent of the EIR is to address and evaluate potentially significant impacts of the proposed
projects and identify feasible mitigation measures and alternatives that may be adopted to reduce
or eliminate these impacts. A summary of all project- related impacts and the recommended
mitigation measures is provided in the Final EIR. The following summarizes key points in the
environmental review process.
Notice of Preparation and Public Scoping Meeting
The Notice of Preparation (NOP) serves as public notification that an EIR is being prepared and
requests comment and input from responsible agencies and other interested parties regarding
environmental issues to be addressed in the document. In addition to the NOP, CEQA
recommends conducting a scoping meeting for the purpose of identifying the range of potential
significant impacts that should be analyzed within the scope of the Draft EIR. The public scoping
meeting is to receive public testimony on those issues that the public would like to have addressed
in the EIR as it relates to the project and environment.
Accordingly, a notice advertising both the NOP and Public Scoping Meeting notice was prepared
for the project and circulated on August 17, 2023, to the State Clearinghouse, public agencies,
Native American tribes, and those interested parties who had previously requested notification.
However, the NOP was subsequently cancelled to address a scheduling conflict regarding the
Scoping Meeting; a revised NOP was prepared and issued on September 14, 2023. On
September 28th, 2023, the City conducted a Scoping Meeting on the proposed project, the NOP
and the EIR process but there were no attendees at the scoping meeting.
The public comment period to respond to the NOP closed on October 13, 2023, and comment
letters were received from the following: California Department of Justice, California Native
American Heritage Commission, Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER),
Southwest Mountain States Regional Council of Carpenter (SWMSRCC), South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) and Californians Allied for Responsible Economy (CARECA).
Written responses to all significant environmental issues raised were prepared and made
available in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).
AB 52 Compliance
Formal notification in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 52 was sent on August 30, 2023, to
tribal communities from a list of six tribes that have requested notification by the city. In response
to these notices, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) responded and engaged in
consultation. SMBMI requested the inclusion of specific cultural resource protection language,
which has been incorporate into the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The
Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation formally responded to the AB 52 notification on
September 29, 2023, during which the tribe requested the presence of a tribal monitor during all
grading activities. Although no known tribal cultural resources were identified within the project
area, mitigation measures have been added to ensure protection in the event of unexpected
discoveries during site disturbance. Thus, the CEQA document prepared for the project reflects
the requested language/mitigation measures.
Draft EIR Preparation and Circulation
The Notice of Availability (NOA) for the DEIR was distributed on April 24, 2024, and the DEIR was
circulated for a 45-day public review period beginning April 29, 2025, and concluding on June 13,
2025, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines The NOA included links to the full DEIR and technical
appendices and was posted with the San Bernardino County Clerk, published in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin, and mailed to property owners within 660 feet of the project site as well as to

individuals and organizations that requested notification. The DEIR was also submitted via
CEQAnet to the California Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation for distribution to relevant
state agencies. The documents were also posted to the City’s website for public review during
the same period. Hard copies of the DEIR and all technical appendices were provided for public
review at the following locations:
Archibald Library – 7368 Archibald Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730;
Paul A Baine Library – 12505 Cultural Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739;

These comments and the City’s responses have been incorporated into the Final EIR. The DEIR,
FEIR, technical appendices, and mitigation are available on the City’s website under the “CEQA
Documents Available for Review” section, located at: https://www.cityofrc.us/community-
development/planning and can also be accessed by clicking on the hyperlink in Exhibit D.
Prior to the public hearing, staff received a number of comment letters and emails expressing
support of the project. These documents are included with this staff report as Exhibit E.
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP)
In compliance with CEQA, a mitigation monitoring and reporting program has been prepared. The
MMRP is a reporting program that identifies each adopted mitigation measure or project design
feature that reduces the significance level of a particular impact. The MMRP indicates
responsibility and timing milestones for each mitigation measure.
Findings of Fact in Support of Determinations Related to Significant Environmental Impacts
The EIR concludes that upon implementation of the project and all recommended mitigation
measures, impacts associated with the project would remain significant and unavoidable for
certain issue areas. These impacts include air pollutant emissions which exceed SCAQMD daily
Nox thresholds specifically for project operations, as well as an exceedance of regional
construction thresholds even with implementation of all mitigations. Also, the project will result in
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) which exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds. These impacts will
remain after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. As part of project approval, the
City Council will be required to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations which
acknowledges these unavoidable impacts. In addition to the project benefits which are highlighted
in the Draft Statement of Overriding Considerations, the applicant has also provided a list of
Page 184

additional project benefits which is being included with this report as Exhibit H.
Correspondence
A notice of public hearing was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on September 22,
2025, notices were mailed to all property owners within 660 feet and other interested parties who
had requested such notice on September 23, 2025, and the site was posted with a notice on
September 24, 2025. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any comments in
response to the advertised public hearing notices.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project is expected to generate economic benefits to the City. In addition to required one-
time permit and development impact fees, it is also anticipated that the project will create both
temporary construction jobs and permanent jobs. Specifically, the project is anticipated to
generate approximately 289 permanent jobs beyond which already exist at the existing facility,
and approximately 400 temporary construction jobs. In addition, the increased employment could
indirectly benefit other local businesses due to increased demand. The expanded facility is likely
to create positive economic benefits to surrounding businesses such as hotels, restaurants and
other business support services. The project scale and operational reach will serve as a key
anchor for strengthening the City’s food manufacturing sector, which could attract complementary
businesses.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
The development of the project achieves the City Council’s Core Value of “Intentionally embracing
and anticipating the future,” by positioning Rancho Cucamonga as a competitive hub for food
manufacturing in the region.

(DRC2023-00068) and Tree Removal Permit (DRC2023-00070)).
Principal Planner McPherson provided a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted, for context, that the
Planning Commission is a recommending body on this item. Following deliberation, the item will move forward
to the City Council for final consideration. He noted a typo in the staff report regarding EV stalls, clarifying it
should indicate 52 EV stalls and not 25. Additionally, he pointed out an error in the title of the Resolution, stating
that the term “Vesting” should be included in reference to the Tentative Parcel Map. Commissioners were

For the record, the following correspondence expressing support for the project was received after the
preparation of the agenda packet. The actual correspondence should be referred to for details:
Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce
Inland Empire Economic Partnership
Southern California District Council of Laborers
Special Olympics Southern California
Additionally, a letter from the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce was received at the meeting and
filed by the Executive Assistant.
Commissioner Dopp asked the applicant about the anticipated truck traffic through the city.
Applicant responded that the truck traffic would not change from what it currently is and will primarily use
the I-10 and I-15 freeways.
Commissioner Daniels expressed he liked the appearance and colors of the building. He asked whether
the materials used for the colors would fade over time.
Applicant responded that the materials were specifically selected to resist fading over the 30-year lifespan
of the panels.
Commissioner Daniels asked where they stand with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval.
Applicant replied that they have received full approval from the FAA and have submitted their application
to the City of Ontario for their approval as well.
Commissioner Diaz inquired about the truck traffic and heard that it may decrease, as certain operations
will now be performed on-site that were previously performed off-site.
Applicant confirmed that, as part of their production process, some raw materials will now be created on-
site, which will reduce the number of supply trucks needed.
Commissioner Diaz asked the applicant to explain their interactive tours and what that would look like.
Applicant explained that the tour is designed is avoid active operations on the production floor, creating a
separate path through the facility. They would like to make it available for visits to both internal and external
visitors with approval from local management. The intent is to welcome visitors and share the company’s
story with a particular focus on sustainability, which will be integrated throughout the facility.
Vice Chairman Boling commented on the City’s ongoing efforts to incorporate active transportation
elements into development projects and city infrastructure. He said that a significant investment was made
in the cycle track bicycle lane along Sixth Street, and that the slip lane along a portion of Haven Avenue
was removed to accommodate an additional bike lane. Given the facility’s location and its proximity to major
public transportation infrastructure, including the Brightline and Metrolink stations, he inquired about on-site
amenities available to support and encourage employees to commute by bicycle. Specifically, he asked
whether the facility would provide secure bike lockers and/or bike racks.
Applicant confirmed that the facility will have a secured parking structure that will allow access to bikes, as
well as charging stations for electric vehicles.
Principal Planner McPherson added that there are 44 bike stalls located within the parking structure.
Chairman Morales acknowledged the applicant’s significant investment of $600 million for the development
of the state-of-the-art campus and asked how much future capacity growth the facility is designed to
accommodate.
Applicant responded that while growth is planned on the distribution side, it will not be significant. On the
production side, they will start with five production lines but have the capacity to expand to seven production
lines, representing a 40% increase. He added that, as with any bottling plant, there will be opportunities
Page 188
HPC/PC Draft Minutes
Page 4 of 6

for organic growth by improving efficiency on existing lines, providing additional room for expansion as
operations progress.
Chairman Morales stated that along Sixth Street there are cylinder shaped objects and asked if they have
considered placing art on those cylinders.
Applicant responded that they have not considered it but if the Commissioners would like them to do so,
they will discuss further with staff.
Commissioner Daniels asked what their timing is on the project once they get the approvals.
Applicants answered that they will start as soon as possible.
Chairman Morales mentioned that the lights on the top of the tallest building must be reported to the FAA
if they go out. He asked whether the contact number for the FAA will be posted for immediate access.
Applicant confirmed that they have a sophisticated emergency response plan in place.
Hearing no other comments from the public, Chairman Morales closed public hearing.
Commissioner Dopp stated that he has been the most critical on the Commission of warehouse industrial
development. He expressed concerns about the frontage on Haven and questioned the ability and direction
of both the General Plan and even the Council goals regarding their vision for major corridors. He feels
they lose a little bit of that by getting rid of the second office building and it is mostly a warehouse that is
fronting Haven. He suggested that the City Council may want to think about the Haven Avenue frontage a
little bit further.
He also addressed pollution concerns, specifically greenhouse gas emissions, and the high concentration
of warehouses in the area. He expressed appreciation for the efforts Coca-Cola and Reyes are making to
their facility as environmentally friendly but emphasized that pollution remains a concern for him. He
encouraged Reyes to consider expanding their electric vehicle fleet if the opportunity arises. He added
that the project, aside from his concerns about the Haven frontage, is appropriate and beneficial for the
community.
He said regarding potential murals and as a member of the Public Art Committee, the other committee
members tend to be very cautious and wary about these bigger projects that come up and that their
complaint is that they do not have a lot of input. He recommended as part of any mural to think about the
city at large, maybe good sources of inspiration from the city’s heritage.
He commended the office space and the features that give it a “headquarters” feel, which aligns with the
City’s vision. He expressed appreciation for the design, beside the Haven frontage, the landscaped urban
parklets and the green space planned for the site, and the use of color throughout the property.
Commissioner Daniels commended the development, highlighting the many aspects involved and the
various permits required. He expressed that it is a very good project that will benefit the community and
the area. He appreciated hearing that the project will move forward promptly. He also thanked those who
attended the meeting and shared their perspectives.
Commissioner Diaz concurred with the other commissioners, stating that it is a fantastic project for the
community. She acknowledged concerns regarding the Haven frontage, viewing it as a negative aspect,
and hopes efforts will be made to enhance its aesthetic appeal for those traveling along Haven. She
commended the thoughtful consideration given to both the community and employees, describing it as
impressive. She expressed enthusiasm about Coca-Cola remaining and growing in the city and thanked
the audience members who highlighted the importance of the project, and the collaborative efforts involved.

Vice Chairman Boling stated that this is one of the largest projects of this type that has come before the
city in quite some time. He said as it pertains to the EIR, he wanted to make it clear what the Planning
Commission’s role is to ensure the EIR was conducted at the appropriate level and then submitted to the
City Council, as the Commissioners are just the recommending body.
He expressed appreciation that the applicant has electric trucks in their fleet, the project has a number of
onsite infrastructure investments for environmental facilities of various types and that the air pollution issues
that may be called out in an EIR of this type are more of a regional issue.
He said as it pertains to the project overall, the applicant’s business has been a long-term member of this
community and continues to make a significant investment in the city and the region. The business is a
major employer bringing in a high-level of employment to the area, offering competitive jobs to Rancho
residents as well as others in the Inland Empire and beyond.
He said we cannot lose sight as to why a city exists, it is to maintain and grow the economic value of a
community, and how we do it is to provide a high level of municipal services. Having this business continue
to invest and expand in our city translates to the city’s success. He believed it was a thoughtful design and
met the vision for the future, not only for its operational use but also for the employees that work there.
In regard to Public Art, he said that with the magnitude of the possible investment, it is a major opportunity
to create a keystone component not only for Reyes but for the city and the region’s tourism and marketing
plan. He asks that the same level of care and detail that they placed on getting the building and site layout
done, be devoted for the selection and installation of the Public Art.
Chairman Morales expressed his appreciation to the developer for the state-of-the-art world class campus.
He thanked the applicant for their investment in the community, and for their two-years of work to get this
going. He thanked them for designing the campus with their employees in mind. He also thanked the
attendees for their helpful comments tonight and for participating in this important project for our city.
Commissioner Dopp mentioned that the Economic Development Department has emphasized the
importance of attracting key industries to the city to create a diversified economy and provide higher-level
jobs, reducing reliance on warehouses. He highlighted that food and beverage manufacturing is one of
these important industries and commended the applicant for contributing to this goal.
Motion: Moved by Vice Chairman Boling; seconded by Commissioner Diaz to adopt Resolution 2025-032
as amended recommending that the City Council approve Design Review DRC2023-00067, Master Plan
DRC2023-00072, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map SUBPTM20713, Conditional Use Permit DRC2023-00068
and Tree Removal Permit DRC2023-00070. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
E. Director Announcements
Principal Planner McPherson announced that last week the Planning Department was recognized at a
statewide-level and received the California American Planning Association (APA) award of merit for
Planning Agency. He also mentioned that in a few weeks, we have a full agenda with six or seven items.
F. Commission Announcements
Vice Chairman Boling mentioned that last week he attended the APA Conference, participated in numerous
sessions and received annual legal updates. Most importantly was a recognition of the City’s Planning
Agency with the award of merit recognizing the professionalism, teamwork and diligence that shows in the
projects that come forward for the Commission to consider. He also mentioned that a number of laws have
been proposed and adopted by the state to help address the perceived housing crisis and yet at the
conference it was pointed out by Deputy City Manager Matt Burris that depending upon how you count
what is in the pipeline, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,400 to
over 10,000 housing units that have been approved over the last few years, and yet when we look at
housing construction , it is lacking.
Page 190

He said there is a recent article out of a San Francisco publication that building permits in California, there
was on average 250 building permits per 100,000 residents in 2023. He said if you look at what the City of
Rancho Cucamonga is trying to push through, we are well ahead of that. By comparison nationwide that
number is in the 400s, that is almost 500 building permits issued per 100,000 residents nationwide. Even
after the state has adopted and pushed onto the cities so many pieces of legislation that sometimes tie their
hands, as far as quality of product, they are still behind the national average, so something is broken, and
that message came out numerous times at the conference.
Commissioner Daniels asked staff if anything ever happened with the Commissioners letter that was going
to the City Council.
Principal Planner McPherson answered that it is still being discussed internally with staff and will get back
to the Commission as soon as they get further clarification.
G. Adjournment
Motion: Moved by Commissioner Diaz, seconded by Commissioner Dopp to adjourn the meeting. Hearing
no objections, Chairman Morales adjourned the meeting at 8:31 p.m.

Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 1
Draft August 25, 2025
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
and Statement of Overriding Considerations
Revised September 24, 2025
1 OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION
These Findings of Fact and this Statement of Overriding Considerations are made with respect
to the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR)(SCH# 2023080369) for the El Camino Project
(the “Project”) considered by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga (the “City”)
relating to the potentially significant environmental effects of the Project.
The following Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations are required by the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), California Public Resources Code Section 21081,
21081.5 and 21081.6, and Title 14, California Code of Regulations (the “CEQA Guidelines”)
Sections 15091 through 15093, for the Project.
This document provides the findings required by CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and the specific
reasons for finding the Project acceptable notwithstanding that the Project results in significant
adverse and unavoidable impacts that are infeasible to mitigate. Section 7 of this document
addresses these unavoidable adverse impacts through a Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
According to Section 15161 of the CEQA Guidelines, “the most common type of EIR examines
the environmental impacts of a specific development project. This type of EIR should focus
primarily on the changes in the environment that would result from the development project. The
EIR shall examine all phases of the project including planning, construction, and operation.” This
City Council concludes that the El Camino Project meets the definition of a project under CEQA
so the El Camino Project EIR is a project -level EIR as described in CEQA Guidelines Section
15161 and contains all the sections and information required in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15120
to 15132.
2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A private company, Lone Oak – Rancho LLC, is proposing to expand an existing beverage
distribution facility. Existing development currently occupies the southern and northern portions
of the site (approx. 17.9 acres) while the central portion (a former vineyard) occupies 12.2 acres
of the site. The southern portion is developed with a beverage distribution facility and two office
buildings. The northern portion of the site contains an existing 62,210-square foot warehouse on
approximately 3 acres. The Project applicant is proposing to demolish up to 237,895 square feet
of existing buildings and construct up to 1,054,541 square feet of new manufacturing, light
industrial, and office uses on the Project site. Building heights will range from 34 to 130 feet and
the Project will have a solar energy/battery storage system and a cogeneration system to help
reduce energy consumption.
The proposed Project includes two different development options. Phase 1 plus Phase 2A results
in 783,741 net square feet of building area of non-residential uses (Industrial and Office), not
including a new parking structure which does not generate vehicular trips or house employees. In
contrast, Phase 1 plus Phase 2B results in 761,616 square feet of building area, or 22,125 less
Exhibit A

square feet than Phase 1 plus Phase 2A. The difference between the two options is that Phase
2A would reuse the existing 62,210 square-foot warehouse building while Phase 2B would
demolish the existing warehouse building and construct a new 40,085 square f oot light industrial
building.
2.1 – PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Rancho Cucamonga (City or Lead Agency) has prepared an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the proposed El Camino Project (“proposed Project” or “the Project”). The
adoption and implementation of the Project is discretionary and defined as a “project” and is
subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 1970 (Public Resources
Code, Section 21000 et seq.), and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations,
Section 15000 et. seq.). Accordingly, the City has prepared this environmental impact report (EIR)
to assess the short term, long term and cumulative environmental consequences that could result
from adoption and implementation of the proposed Project. This report has been prepared in
accordance with the CEQA Statutes and Guidelines and with the City’s local rules and procedures
for implementing CEQA. It was prepared by professional planning consultants under contract to
the City. The City is the Lead Agency for the preparation of this EIR (State Clearinghouse No.
2023080369), as defined by CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21067, as amended),
because it has primary discretionary authority with respect to the adoption and implementation of
the proposed Project. The content of this document reflects the independent judgment of the City.
The approach to the analysis presented in this EIR is at a project level because specific
development information is available regarding the proposed Project. Each environmental issue
is analyzed at a similar project level, starting with a discussion of the existing environmental
setting, including physical conditions of the site and surrounding area, pertinent City General Plan
goals, and policies and City Municipal Code requirements. Thresholds of significance are then
defined and are used to measure the proposed Project’s potential impact to the environment.
Thresholds of significance are based on a broad list of questions and impact topics set forth in
Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines and the typical CEQA thresholds used by the City.
The impact analysis provided for each the 20 topical areas examines the specific short- and long-
term environmental effects resulting from implementation of the proposed industrial development
Project, including compliance with applicable General Plan goals and policies and City Municipal
Code requirements. The assessment of impacts focuses on how the impact in question could
occur and whether aspects of the proposed Project would reduce or ameliorate such impacts.
The presence of sensitive environmental resources, hazards onsite or in the immediate area, and
the broad implications of the General Plan relative to the proposed Project are considered in the
determination of impact significance. If the analysis indicates that a significant impact could occur,
then mitigation measures are specified.
2.2 – PROJECT LOCATION
The 30.1-acre Project site is located in the southern area of the City of Rancho Cucamonga in
southwestern San Bernardino County. The Project site is bounded on all sides by public
roadways: 7th Street to the north, Utica Avenue to the east, 6th Street to the south, and Haven
Avenue to the west. The Project is located approximately 1.8 miles west of the I-15 Freeway and
approximately 1.2 miles north of the I-10 Freeway. The Project site is comprised of eight
contiguous Assessor Parcels (APNs 209-411-02, -03, -04, -23, -24, -32, -34, and -35).

2.3 – EXISTING CONDITIONS
Regional Setting
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the nation's largest metropolitan
planning organization (MPO), representing six counties, 191 cities and more than 19 million
residents. SCAG is currently the MPO of six of the ten counties in Southern California, serving
Imperial County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County,
and Ventura County.
The SCAG Regional Council adopted the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities
Strategy (RTP/SCS), now called “Connect SoCal”, in September 2020. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS
includes goals and policies applicable to transportation and land use projects.
The City is within the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) which is under South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) jurisdiction. The SoCAB includes portions of San Bernardino
County, Los Angeles County, and Riverside County, and all of Orange County. The SCAQMD is
the entity responsible for mitigating emissions from stationary, mobile and indirect sources.
SCAQMD utilizes a sequence of Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) that contain rules and
regulations directed at attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and
California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS).
The entire Southern California region contains many regional and local faults which results in the
area being subject to moderate to high levels of groundshaking from earthquakes. The Project
site is located in the Upper Santa Ana Valley Basin-Chino Subbasin and Chino Creek Watershed.
Runoff out of the mountains to the north can result in areas of localized flooding during heavy
storms.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within the western part of the San Bernardino Valley on a deep
alluvial plain formed by runoff from the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. The general area
supported agriculture, mainly citrus and vineyards, since the late 1800’s but now it is largely
urbanized. Past agricultural uses used hazardous chemicals in some locations for pesticides,
fungicides, etc.
The mountain foothills to the north and some of the drainages out of the foothills support native
vegetation but much of the land has been covered over by development and supports mainly
weedy invasive species and wildlife tolerant of human activity. The region has been occupied by
Native Americans for thousands of years and grading activities sometimes yield historical and
archaeological artifacts.
Surrounding Land Uses
The Project site is surrounded by land designated in the City’s General Plan as 21st Century
Employment District. Existing land uses in this district include warehousing, commercial, vacant
land, medical offices, hospitality uses, and other professional offices. A day care/pre-school is
located near the southeast corner of the site, just east of Utica Ave. and just north of 6th Street.

Onsite Conditions
The 30.1-acre Project site is developed with beverage distribution, warehousing, and offices
totaling 270,800 square feet. According to the County Assessor’s Office website, t he Project site
is located on eight contiguous parcels: Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 209-411-023, 209-411-
024, 209-411-032, 209-411-034, 209-411-035, 209-411-002, 209-411-003, and 209-411-004.
At the time the NOP was issued, the southern three parcels (APNs 209-411-23, 209-411-24, 209-
411-34) contained a Distribution Center (DC) facility, two office buildings and support
infrastructure with 208,590 square feet of space. The central two parcels (APNs 209-411-32, 209-
411-35) are currently vacant. The northern three parcels (APNs 209-411-02, 209-411-03, 209-
411-04) located along 7th Street are developed with an existing 62,210 square foot industrial
warehouse (total existing building area is 270,800 SF).
The Project site is generally flat and gently slopes from the northwest towards the southeast.
Project site elevations range from approximately 1,091 feet above mean sea level (amsl) on the
northwest corner down to 1,067 feet amsl on the southeast corner of the Project site with a total
elevation difference of approximately 24 feet. The existing building pads and developed parcels
have been graded and are generally flat. Ground surface cover of the vacant parcels consists of
sparse to moderate native and non-native grasses and shrubs.
The Project site is partially developed with warehouse and office buildings and is surrounded by
other industrial and commercial land uses in all directions. The Project site has a General Plan
designation of 21st Century Employment District and is within the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2)
zone. The Project will not require a general plan amendment or a change of zone. The site also
has a former vineyard in the northern half of the Phase 1 property and the entire site has over
200 landscape trees throughout the site including along the north side of the former vineyard.
Site History
For the purposes of this discussion, the southern and central portions of the site (25.5 acres)
constitute Phase 1 while the northeasterly portion (4.6 acres) of the site constitutes Phase 2.
Phase 1 Site. The Project site supported agricultural uses in the past, including an orchard in the
1930s and grapevines in the southern and central portions of the site. The existing beverage
distribution facility was developed in 1981-1982 in the southern portion of the site and currently
supports a beverage distribution facility, but which once included the manufacturing and bottling
of beverages, office uses, and drink distribution1. This facility now includes a warehouse, office,
fleet service shop, 126 parking spaces, and landscaping. The main warehouse building was
expanded in 1986 and again in 1998. The site of the existing beverage facility is a 9.1-acre parcel
(APN 209-411-34). The existing beverage facility office and warehouse occupy a total of 160,020
square feet and has been in operation since its construction in 1981. The two existing office
buildings in the southwest corner of the site were constructed in 1990 as a multi-tenant office
development and are currently occupied by various office uses. In December 2022 the Project
applicant acquired this part of the Project site. These offices occupy APNs 209-411-23 and 209-
411-24. At present there is no beverage production or bottling at the facility only warehousing and
distribution activities.
Phase 2 Site. The northeastern portion of the site contains the 7th Street warehouse building (i.e.,
Phase 2 property) which was developed in 1986 on the corner of Utica Avenue and 7th Street
(APNs 209-411-02, 209-411-03, and 209-411-04). The 62,210-square foot warehouse was
Page 203

El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 5
Revised September 24, 2025
originally developed as a three-unit concrete tilt-up complex constructed by General Dynamics.
Since 1996, this building is currently occupied and has housed a series of unrelated industrial
manufacturing uses in the past.
3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The Project is intended to implement the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. The
purpose of this Project is to implement the vision laid out in the Project objectives. The Project
would generally increase the City’s production capacity and further fortify the economic base of
the City. It would also revitalize a portion of the City with new and renovated industry and
production. The Project is proposed to be developed to accomplish the following objectives:
Objective 1: Facilitate the continued operation of the existing distribution facility with expanded
operations and employment capacity.
Objective 2: Redevelop an existing industrial site with modern and sustainable facilities,
including large-scale buildings, intricate manufacturing processes, and large employment
opportunities.
Objective 3: Develop and operate an attractive state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution
facility in the City that meets industry standards to be competitive with similar facilities in the
region.
Objective 4: Maximize the efficiency of the existing operations during the expansion process
by providing interim manufacturing steps within the same building envelope.
Objective 5: Develop and operate a production and bottling facility that positively contributes
to the local economy through new capital investment and the creation of new employment
opportunities, including opportunities for highly trained workers.
Objective 6: Develop an industrial and manufacturing facility that is in close proximity to
Interstate 10, Interstate 15, and other major transportation arterial roadways, to support the
production of consumer goods and the distribution of manufactured goods throughout the region.
Objective 7: Implement a microgrid energy production system via cogeneration at an existing
manufacturing site to minimize manufacturing waste and to reduce the demand on existing public
services and systems while employing carbon-reducing technologies and reduce the facility’s
potential climate impact.

4 DISCRETIONARY APPROVALS
4.1 – LEAD AGENCY, CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
The entitlement process will require review and approval from the City’s Design Review
Committee (DRC), the Planning Commission, and the City Council. Due to its size and scale, the
Project must implement a Master Plan as an entitlement tool to adopt specific development
standards for the Project that vary from the City codes but incorporate various community benefits
in exchange for the identified deviations from the City Code requirements. The Project requires
the following discretionary actions/approvals:
• Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2023080369)
• Master Plan (DRC2023-00072) - The Project site is presently zoned ME2 Mixed Employment
designation with a Corridor Fronting Commercial and Retail Overlay along the Haven Avenue
frontage. The Project Master Plan identifies specific exceptions to the zone development
standards. It also includes building details, elevations, landscaping and fencing plans, and
other design elements. It should be noted the RCMC requires this document and the City is
not offering any discretionary reductions in zoning standards.
• Design Review (DRC2023-00067) – The Design Review of the site plan and architectural
design for the development of the bottling and distribution facility. The Project is being
developed in two Phases which are evaluated in the EIR for potential impacts (Phase 1 and
Phase 2). A new Design Review or Minor Design Review application will be required by the
City for approval once plans for Phase 2 are completed. The City will review Phase 2 plans
for consistency with the environmental analysis of the potential environmental impacts for
Phase 2 included in this EIR. This applies to both Phase 2A (reuse of the existing building) as
well as Phase 2B (demolition of the existing building and construction of a new building).
• Conditional Use Permit (DRC-2023-00068) – The Project will operate a “Manufacturing, Light-
Large” land use as defined in the City’s zoning ordinance and continue operations of
“Wholesale and Distribution, Medium” land use in the Mixed Employment 2 (ME2) District. A
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Wholesale and Distribution has been included for the Project
since this use is no longer permitted in the ME2 zone per the City’s updated development
standards. Impacts associated with the Project and the CUP (including 1,000 square feet of
cold storage space) will be analyzed in the EIR and evaluated in the technical studies.
• Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (original SUB TPM20713 to VTPM20713) – The proposed
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) would include a request to consolidate the eight existing
parcels and create three new parcels for the Project. The VTPM would create the following
three lots: Parcel 1 would be approximately 25.39 acres in size for the new industrial buildings,
parking structure and office building; Parcel 2 would be 0.68 acres and would provide a new
access from 7th Street to the Project site; and Parcel 3 would be 3.88 acres and would
encompass the existing 7th Street warehouse building and parking area. Additionally, three
lettered lots would be created for access.
• Tentative Parcel Map (SUB TPM20713) – The proposed Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) would
include a request to consolidate the eight existing parcels and create three new parcels for
the Project. The TPM would create the following three lots: Parcel 1 would be approximately
25.39 acres in size for the new industrial buildings, parking structure and office building; Parcel
2 would be 0.68 acres and would provide a new access from 7th Street to the Project site; and
Parcel 3 would be 3.88 acres and would encompass the existing 7th Street warehouse building
and parking area. Additionally, three lettered lots would be created for access.

Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 9
Revised September 24, 2025
6 FINDINGS OF FACT
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, no
public agency shall approve or carry out a project where an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”)
has been certified that identifies one or more significant impacts on the environment that would
occur if the project is approved or carried out unless the public agency makes one or more findings
for each of those significant impacts, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale of each
finding. The possible findings, which must be supported by substantial evidence in the record,
are:
(1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project
which avoid or substantially lessen the significant effects on the environment.
(2) Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of
another public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that other
agency.
(3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including
provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible
the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the environmental impact
report.
With respect to significant effects which were subject to finding (3) above, the public agency must
find that specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the project
outweigh the significant effects on the environment.
References for discussion of environmental impacts within the Final EIR are noted with each
finding. Impact numbers refer to the section number and the threshold letter referenced in the
Draft EIR where the full discussion of impacts is included. The Findings of Fact are presented on
the following pages.
A. Effects Determined to Have No Impact or a Less than Significant Impact
The evaluation prepared in the El Camino Project EIR found and provided substantial evidence
that certain environmental issues related to the El Camino Project would have no impact or have
impacts that are less than significant. The City Council agrees with the characterization of the
FEIR with respect to all of the El Camino Project impacts identified as resulting in “no impact” or
“less than significant” impacts and finds that those impacts have been described and analyzed
accurately and are supported by substantial evidence as described in the FEIR, including the
Draft EIR. Reference should be made to the DEIR and FEIR for a more complete description of
the findings regarding these impacts.
This finding applies to the evaluation of the potential impacts for the following items, as further
described in the DEIR, that the project will either have no impact or a less than significant impact.

B. Impacts Determined to Be Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated
The Final EIR (including the Draft EIR) identifies the following significant environmental impacts
associated with the Project. Based on the environmental analysis of the Project and the
identification of feasible mitigation measures, potentially significant impacts have been
determined by the City to be reduced to a level of less than significant, and the City has found in
accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15091(a)(1) that “changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the
project which mitigates or avoid the significant effects on the environment.” The descriptions of
the impacts in these findings are summary statements. Mitigation Measures are numbered to
correspond to listings in the Draft EIR and Final EIR. Reference should be made to the Draft EIR
and Final EIR for a more complete description.
AIR QUALITY
IMPACT AIR-1: Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District 2022 Air Quality Management Plan.
The EIR found that within this impact category, regional construction emissions were found to be
potentially significant for VOCs (Phase 1 and Phase 2) and NOx (Phase 1 only) and thus would
conflict with the 2022 AQMP.
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.3.5 of the DEIR states the proposed Project is under the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD.
Pursuant to the methodology provided in Chapter 12 of the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality
Handbook, consistency with the AQMP is affirmed if the Project: (1) is consistent with the growth
assumptions in the AQMP; and (2) does not increase the frequency or severity of an air quality
standards violation or cause a new one. Consistency Criterion 1 refers to the growth forecasts
and associated assumptions included in the AQMP. Projects that are consistent with the AQMP
growth assumptions would not interfere with attainment of air quality standards, because this
growth is included in the projections used to formulate the AQMP. The proposed Project is
estimated to create approximately 289 net new jobs. This value is within the SCAG 2020
RTP/SCS growth projection for the City of Rancho Cucamonga of 420 jobs per year, which is an
average rate across almost three decades (2016 to 2045). The employment growth associated
with the Project (net 289 jobs) represents less than 2% of the anticipated total employment growth
in the City between 2016 and 2045 (16,800 jobs). Therefore, the proposed Project would not
exceed the growth assumptions contained in the AQMP.
Consistency Criterion 2 refers to AQMP control measures intended to achieve attainment of
ambient air quality standards in the South Coast Air Basin. The Project would comply with
SCAQMD rules developed as part of the AQMP; however, as described under Impact AIR-2, the
proposed Project’s mitigated emissions levels are anticipated to exceed SCAQMD NOX emissions
thresholds during Phase 1 and Phase 2 operations and during combined Phase 1 operations and
Phase 2B construction. This increase in emissions above recommended thresholds could result
in new and/or more frequent or more severe exceedances of regional air quality standards. As
such, the proposed Project is determined to have the potential to conflict with the SCAQMD 2022
AQMP due to exceedances of the SCAQMD NOx daily significance threshold even after
mitigation. This impact would be significant and unavoidable even with recommended mitigation
measures MM-AIR-2A and MM-AIR-2B shown below (DEIR pages 4.3-49 to 4.3-50).
Page 216
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
18 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential VOC and NOx
emissions during project construction:
MM-AIR-2A: Reduce Construction VOC Emissions. To reduce construction-related emissions
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the City shall require the applicant to implement the
following measures during all Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction activities:
1) Use architectural coatings that meet the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s
(SCAQMD) “Super Compliant” VOC standard of 10 grams/liter or less for all interior and
exterior primer, sealer, paint, and other coating applications for which a super compliant
product is commercially available.
a) If feasible given contract, logistical, and other construction factors, avoid painting during
peak smog season (July, August, and September) if super compliant coatings are not
commercially available.
2) Keep all coating containers closed when not in use to prevent VOC emissions.
3) Keep all paint and solvent laden rags and other materials in sealed containers to prevent VOC
emissions.
4) Clean up water-based paints with water only and when possible do not rinse clean-up water
down the drain, onto the ground, or into a storm drain.
5) Use SCAQMD compliant Clean Air Solvents to clean paint application equipment.
6) Recycle leftover paint.
MM-AIR-2B: Reduce Construction NOx and PM Exhaust Emissions. To reduce construction-
related exhaust emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), including
diesel particulate matter (DPM), the City shall require the applicant to implement the following
measures during all Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction activities:
1) Connect to existing electrical service to power construction trailers and stationary and portable
equipment (e.g., pumps, generators, compressors, and welding sets). This measure shall be
subject to the approval of the local electric utility. If it is not feasible to connect to electrical
service and/or extend electrical service to all work sites, biodiesel (no more than B20 blend),
renewable diesel, or propane shall be used to power stationary and portable equipment
provided the use of such fuels is allowed pursuant to manufacturer’s specifications. The use
of stationary or portable diesel-fueled equipment shall be prohibited in the project area unless
electrical service is denied, alternative fuels are not permitted by the manufacturer for the
specific equipment in use, and there are no alternative equipment types capable of being
powered by alternative fuels that can be used instead of the standard diesel-fueled equipment.
2) All construction equipment with a rated power-output of 50 horsepower (hp) or greater shall
be certified to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 Final nonroad diesel
engine emissions standards for NOX and PM10, or be retrofitted with California Air Resources
Board (CARB)-verified diesel emissions control strategies capable of reducing exhaust NOX
and PM10 emissions to levels that meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards, unless the applicant
submits evidence to the City that specific equipment meeting this requirement is not available
on loan, rent, or other terms of use within 200 miles of the City. In this instance, the next
highest available emissions tier (e.g., Tier 4 Interim, Tier 3) for the specific equipment in
question shall be required.

3) Limit idling of diesel-powered construction equipment, vendor delivery trucks, and hauling
trucks to no more than two minutes unless manufacturer’s specifications specifically require
main engine idling is necessary to maintain equipment in good working order.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-AIR-2A and MM-AIR-2B, the
Project would have less than significant impacts for regional construction emissions of VOCs
(Phase 1 and Phase 2) and NOx (Phase 1 only) and thus would be consistent with the 2022
AQMP (DEIR page 4.3-51)
IMPACT AIR-2: Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria air pollutants for which the South Coast Air Basin is designated non-attainment
under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.
The EIR found that within this impact category, regional construction emissions were found to be
potentially significant for VOCs (Phase 1 and Phase 2) and NOx (Phase 1 only).
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.3.5 of the DEIR states the Phase 1 regional construction emissions would not exceed
the SCAQMD’s recommended threshold for CO, SO2, PM10, or PM2.5, but would exceed the
SCAQMD’s recommended threshold for VOCs and NOX, both of which are precursors to O3.
SCAQMD’s regional criteria air pollutant threshold for VOC is 75 pounds per day and the threshold
for NOX is 100 pounds per day. The Project’s construction emissions would exceed SCAQMD-
recommended regional thresholds for VOCs (Phase 1 and Phase 2) and NO X (Phase 1 only),
both of which are precursors to ozone (O3, a pollutant for which the region is designated
nonattainment). This is considered a potentially significant impact. Accordingly, the City shall
require the applicant to implement Mitigation Measure AIR-2A, Reduce Construction VOC
Emissions, and Mitigation Measure AIR-2B, Reduce Construction NOX and PM Exhaust
Emissions), which would limit the VOC content in the coatings used during construction and
require construction equipment to meet stringent U.S. EPA / CARB Tier IV Final emissions
standards. These measures would lower maximum daily VOC and NOX emissions by
approximately 67% and 58%, respectively. Mitigation Measures AIR-2A and AIR-2B would reduce
the Project’s maximum daily regional NOx emissions to levels below the SCAQMD’s thresholds.
This impact would be less than significant with mitigation (DEIR pages 4.3-52 to 4.3-53).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential VOC and NOx
emissions during project construction:
MM-AIR-2A: Reduce Construction VOC Emissions. See Impact AIR-1 above.
MM-AIR-2B: Reduce Construction NOx and PM Exhaust Emissions. See Impact AIR-1
above.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-AIR-2A and MM-AIR-2B, the
Project would have less than significant impacts for regional construction emissions of VOCs
(Phase 1 and Phase 2) and NOx (Phase 1 only)(DEIR page 4.3-53).

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
IMPACT BIO-1: Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species
in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish
and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.4.4 of the DEIR states that no special-status plant species were observed during field
investigations conducted at the Project site, so no impacts would occur to these species.
Additionally, no special-status wildlife species were observed onsite during field investigations,
and it was determined the Project site does not have the potential to support special-status wildlife
species that would occur in the area. While not federally- or state-listed as endangered or
threatened, the BRA determined the Project site has the potential to support Cooper’s hawk,
Costa’s hummingbird, and California horned lark, as well as burrowing owl. A pre-construction
nesting bird clearance survey is recommended prior to Project clearing and grading and is
included as Mitigation Measure BIO-1. With implementation of the recommended mitigation,
impacts to special-status wildlife species will be less than significant.
Based on the results of the 2023 burrowing owl focused survey, no burrowing owls or evidence
of recent or historic use by burrowing owls were observed on the Project site. As a result,
burrowing owls are presumed to be absent from the Project site. However, this species can rapidly
occupy a vacant site by taking over small mammal burrows. To ensure burrowing owl remain
absent from the Project site, the BRA and BFS recommended that a pre-construction clearance
survey be conducted in accordance with CDFWs 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation
prior to any ground disturbing activities, as is outlined in Mitigation Measure BIO-2. If burrowing
owls are determined to remain absent from the Project site during the pre-construction clearance
survey, no further review will be needed. If burrowing owls are found to occupy the Project site
during the pre-construction clearance survey, a burrowing owl relocation plan will be prepared
and need to be approved by CDFW prior to construction activities. With implementation of the
recommended mitigation, impacts either directly or through habitat modifications, on candidate,
sensitive, or special status species would be reduced to less than significant levels (DEIR page
4.4-12).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential impacts to
nesting birds and burrowing owl prior to grading:
MM-BIO-1: Nesting Bird Survey. Bird nesting season generally extends from February 1 through
August 31 in southern California. To avoid impacts to nesting birds (common and special-status)
during the nesting season, a qualified avian biologist will conduct a pre‐construction nesting bird
survey three (3) days prior to project‐related disturbance to identify any active nests. If no active
nests are found, no further action will be required.
If an active nest is found, the biologist will set appropriate no‐work buffers around the nest which
will be based upon the nesting species, its sensitivity to disturbance, nesting stage and expected
types, intensity and duration of disturbance. The nests and buffer zones shall be field checked
weekly by a qualified biological monitor. The approved no‐work buffer zone shall be clearly
marked in the field, within which no disturbance activity shall commence until the qualified
biologist has determined the young birds have successfully fledged and the nest is inactive. This
measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Community Development Director.
Page 219
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 21
Revised September 24, 2025
MM-BIO-2: Burrowing Owl Survey. A pre-construction clearance survey for burrowing owl shall
be conducted in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation3 (California
Department of Fish and Wildlife 2012) prior to ground disturbance to ensure burrowing owl remain
absent from the project site.
If burrowing owls are found to occupy the project site during the pre-construction clearance
survey, a burrowing owl relocation plan will need to be prepared and approved by CDFW prior to
the commencement of any ground disturbing activities. The burrowing owl relocation plan shall
outline recommended methods proposed to relocate the burrowing owls from the project site and
provide measures that will be implemented for the maintenance, monitoring, and reporting of the
relocated burrowing owls to increase chances of survivorship and better ensure compliance with
CDFW guidelines. This plan should be implemented during the non-breeding season, and prior
to seasonal rains to promote the best outcome for conservation of the burrowing owl. This
measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Community Development Director.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-BIO-1 and MM-BIO-2 prior
to grading, the Project would have less than significant impacts relative to candidate, sensitive,
or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or state/federal
regulatory agencies (DEIR page 4.4-13).
IMPACT BIO-4: Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or
migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.4.4 of the DEIR states that implementation of the proposed Project is not expected to
have a significant impact to wildlife movement opportunities or prevent local wildlife movement
through the area. The Project site is separated from regional wildlife corridors and linkages by
existing development, and there are no riparian corridors or creeks connecting the Project site to
these areas. The Project site is also not within any existing connectivity areas or wildlife linkages
identified in Figure 5.4-6, Wildlife Movement Linkages Map, of the City General Plan4. Therefore,
the Project site does not function as a major wildlife movement corridor or linkage. Due to the lack
of any identified impacts to wildlife movement, migratory corridors or linkages or native wildlife
nurseries, there are no impacts and no mitigation is required.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald/Golden Eagle Protection Act prohibit impacts
to native resident or migratory wildlife (i.e., birds and raptors) and this issue was largely addressed
in Impact BIO-1 relative to listed or sensitive birds that may utilize or reside on the site. That
section determined those impacts were potentially significant and recommended Mitigation
Measures BIO-1 and BIO-2 to conduct surveys for nesting birds and burrowing owl on the site
just prior to the start of ground disturbance to prevent impacts to those species. With
implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1 and BIO-2, the Project will have less than significant
impacts relative to migratory species or wildlife corridors under either the Phase 1 plus Phase 2A
scenario or under the Phase 1 plus Phase 2B scenario (DEIR page 4.4-15).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential impacts to
nesting birds and burrowing owl prior to grading:

Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-BIO-1 and MM-BIO-2, the
Project would have less than significant impacts relative to the movement of any native resident
or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites (DEIR page 4.4-15).
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
IMPACT HAZMAT-2: Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment.
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.9.4 of the DEIR stated that three of the recent Phase I/II ESA documents did not identify
any areas of existing contamination on their portions of the Project site (i.e., the two existing office
buildings and the vacant property just north of the existing two offices). However, the 2017
Ramboll ESA indicates the existing beverage distribution facility has had a long-documented
history involving the storage and use of hazardous materials. Based on available information, the
EIR concluded it was at least possible that there may be unanticipated buried materials onsite
from construction or operation of past and present onsite uses (i.e., orchard, vineyard, farmhouse,
and existing beverage distribution facility). Therefore, Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 was
recommended to assure that any unanticipated hazardous materials that are found during grading
will be identified and properly remediated in a safe and effective manner (DEIR page 4.9-13).
According to the SCAQMD, demolition of older buildings and structures may pose a hazard
regarding asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint. It should be noted that Asbestos
Containing Materials (ACMs) and lead based paint (LBP) do not represent a significant public
health hazard when they are left undisturbed, however, site development requires demolition of
the existing office and warehouse buildings prior to grading. Due to the age of the existing onsite
building, the EIR recommended a survey prior to any demolition on the site to determine if or to
what degree the existing buildings contain ACMs and/or LBP. In this regard, Mitigation Measure
HAZ-2 is recommended to be implemented prior to any demolition activities (DEIR page 4.9-15).
According to the State Water Resources Control Board, there are no leaking underground storage
tank (LUST) cleanup sites or disposal sites within the Project site (DEIR page 4.9-15).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential impacts from
accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment.
MM-HAZ-1: Unanticipated Discovery of Hazardous Materials. Prior to issuance of a grading
permit for Phase 1 and/or Phase 2, the project proponent shall retain a qualified environmental
professional (QEP) experienced with remediating hazardous materials from infill urban
Page 221
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 23
Revised September 24, 2025
construction sites. The QEP must be on-call and summoned to the site immediately if any
potentially hazardous materials are found during grading. Grading must be halted within 100 feet
of an area that appears to contain hazardous materials. The QEP will halt grading as necessary
to effectively identify the potential contaminated materials, including directing any sampling and
laboratory testing that may be required.
If soils are found to be contaminated at levels that are only slightly in excess of applicable
residential standards, the QEP shall exercise professional discretion and have the option to
coordinate with the grading contractor and developer to either remove contaminated soil and/or
mix the contaminated soil with clean soil from either onsite or offsite to dilute any contaminants to
below applicable exposure standards for residential development.
Remediated areas must be retested to assure potential contaminant levels are below applicable
residential standards. The results of any testing shall be provided to the City or other agencies as
appropriate. Any contaminated soil that must be removed from the site shall be done by a
licensed contractor and hauled to a landfill approved for such materials. This measure shall be
implemented to the satisfaction of the City Community Development Department.
MM-HAZ-2: ACMs and LBP Survey. Prior to demolition of any structures on the project site in
either Phase 1 or 2, the developer shall retain qualified licensed environmental contractor(s) to
survey the existing onsite office and warehouse buildings and any related structures for asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) and Lead-Based Paints (LBPs). If the survey finds the presence of
any ACMs or LBPs on the site, the contractor(s) shall follow all relevant guidance from affected
regulatory agencies (e.g., CalEPA, SCAQMD, DTSC, County Health Department, etc.) in terms
of safe removal and disposal of the contaminated materials as appropriate. The contractor(s) shall
prepare and submit a final report to the City Community Development Department within 30 days
after completion of demolition/removal for ACMs and LBPs on the project site.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-HAZ-1 and MM-HAZ-2, the
Project would have less than significant impacts relative to accident conditions involving the
release of hazardous materials into the environment (DEIR page 4.9-16).
IMPACT HAZMAT-5: For projects located within an airport land use plan or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would
the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in
the project area.
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.9.4 of the DEIR states that the Project site is located 1.95 miles north of the airport. San
Bernardino County has delegated each airport proprietor to create individual Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plans, rather than establish an Airport Land Use Commission. The Ontario
International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ONT ALUCP) serves to promote safe
compatibility between the airport and the surrounding land uses. As stated previously, the site is
zoned as Mixed Employment 2 (ME2), allowing for medium to high intensity professional office or
industrial/manufacturing spaces. The Project involves the demolition and new construction of the
existing onsite beverage facility to allow for the new production, bottling, and expanded
distribution of beverage products. The surrounding land uses of the Project site all include
Page 222
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
24 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
commercial and industrial developments, and development of the proposed Project will be in
compliance with the City’s applicable land use designations and zoning.
The Project site will be developed and operated in cooperation with the ONT ALUCP and will not
encroach on airport property. The Project site is outside of the ONT Safety Zones and ALUCP
noise contour maps and will not expose persons residing or working in the Project area to
excessive airport safety hazards or noise.
Map 2-4, Compatibility Policy Map, Airspace Protection Zones, in the Ontario International Airport
Land Use Compatibility Plan (OIA LUCP) indicates the majority of the Project site is within the
maximum 70 foot building height in the High Terrain Zone and a portion of the site is within the
maximum 70 foot - 100 foot building height area. The Project proposes several tall buildings on
the site (i.e., ASRS is maximum 130 feet and 70 feet average, PC building is maximum 41 feet,
and DC is maximum 45 feet). These buildings are approximately 10,000 feet north-northeast of
the closest ONT runway. Therefore, the Project will need to obtain clearance from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and comply with its lighting/signage restrictions and warning
improvements. These potential restrictions are addressed in Mitigation Measure HAZ-3 below.
The Project applicant initiated and concluded consultation with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) Group on
January 26, 2024, to determine whether the construction or operation of the Project would affect
the National Airspace System (NAS). The Project applicant provided site plan, building elevation,
and topographical information to the FAA for their review through the FAA OE/AAA online portal.
Email and telephone communication continued through June 11, 2024.
The FAA determined that the main building structure would create no hazard on the NAS on April
4, 2024, and conditioned requirements such as no strobe lighting with which the Project will
comply as required by MM-HAZ 3 listed below. The Project would require the use of a crane
during its construction, which the FAA determined on June 11, 2024, that the crane, as a
temporary structure, would have no hazard on the NAS.
As a result, the construction and operation of the Project would not create a hazard on the NAS
and a less than significant impact would occur with the implementation of the required lighting
restrictions as conditioned by the FAA.
As noted in the existing conditions of the PlanRC General Plan Update, the southern border of
the City is located approximately one mile north of the Ontario Airport’s 65 dBA CNEL noise
contour, and as such, aircraft noise does not significantly impact persons on the site. The
proposed Project will adhere to all noise and safety policies as established in the Noise Element
of PlanRC, as well as those policies outlined in the ONT ALUCP. With this regulatory compliance,
potential impacts related to airport hazards will be less than significant and no mitigation is
required (DEIR pages 4.9-19 to 4.9-20).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential impacts related
to proximity to airports:
Page 223
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 25
Revised September 24, 2025
MM-HAZ-3: FAA Lighting Hazards. A minimum of 45 days prior to submittal of an application
for a building permit for the project, the applicant shall consult with the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Planning Department in order to demonstrate the Project is consistent with FAA lighting or other
restrictions or prohibitions which may include but are not limited to the following:
a. Any use which would direct a steady light or flashing light of red, white, green, or amber colors
associated with airport operations toward an aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following
takeoff or toward an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach toward a landing at an airport,
other than an FAA-approved navigational signal light or visual approach slope indicator.
b. Any use which would cause sunlight to be reflected towards an aircraft engaged in an initial
straight climb following takeoff or towards an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach towards
a landing at an airport.
c. Any use which would generate smoke or water vapor or which would attract large
concentrations of birds, or which may otherwise affect safe air navigation within the area.
d. Any use which would generate electrical interference that may be detrimental to the operation
of aircraft and/or aircraft instrumentation.
e. All retention and water quality basins shall be designed to dewater within 48 hours of a rainfall
event.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-HAZ-3, the Project would have
less than significant impacts relative to proximity to airports (DEIR page 4.9-20).
NOISE
IMPACT NOISE-1: Would the project generate a substantial temporary increase in ambient
noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise
ordinance.
Substantial Evidence:
Section 4.13.4 of the DEIR states the proposed Project’s potential construction noise impacts
were estimated using the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Roadway Construction
Noise Model (RCNM), Version 1.1, and guidance for conducting general, quantitative construction
noise assessments contained in the FTA’s Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment
Manual. Construction activities from Phase 1 and Phase 2B could exceed the City’s 70 dBA
construction noise standard for commercial land uses established by Development Code Section
17.66.050. To reduce construction noise levels, the City shall require the applicant to implement
Mitigation Measure NOI-1, which would restrict work hours to periods when humans are less
sensitive to elevated noise levels in accordance with Development Code requirements, implement
construction staging and equipment noise control measures, and require installation of a
temporary noise barrier between work areas and affected properties. The implementation of
Mitigation Measure NOI-1 would reduce construction noise levels by 5 dBA to 7 dBA at individual
receptor locations during the daytime, with the greatest reductions occurring at R07 due to a
greater barrier height next to the well site than at other locations. The implementation of Mitigation
Measure NOI-1 would avoid the potential for Project construction noise levels to exceed
development code standards (DC Section 17.66.050) which would result in a substantial
temporary increase in noise levels and, therefore, results in potential Project construction noise
levels that are less than significant with mitigation (DEIR pages 4.13-31 to 4.13-34).

The EIR recommended the following mitigation measure to help reduce potential impacts related
to construction noise (i.e., substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels in excess of
local standards):
MM-NOI-1: Reduce Noise Construction Levels. To reduce potential construction noise to
levels that are consistent with the City’s 70 dBA Leq standard for commercial land uses, the City
shall require the applicant and/or its designated contractor, contractor’s representatives, or other
appropriate personnel to implement the following measures during construction activities:
1. Restrict Work Hours. All construction-related work activities, including material deliveries,
shall be subject to the requirements of Municipal Code Section 17.66.050(D)(4). Construction
activities, including deliveries, shall only occur during the hours of 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on
weekdays and Saturday, and shall not occur on Sunday. The applicant and/or its contractor
shall post a sign at all entrances to the construction site informing contractors, subcontractors,
construction workers, etc. of this requirement.
2. Construction Staging and Equipment Noise Control Measures.
a) Construction site access and staging activities such as receipt of deliveries, equipment and
material storage, etc., shall occur as far away as possible from occupied parts of land uses
(e.g., buildings, outdoor areas) adjacent to the Project site given site and active work
constraints.
b) All stationary noise generating equipment shall be shielded and located as far as possible
from adjacent land uses given site and active work constraints. Shielding may consist of
trailers, stored materials, or a three- or four-sided enclosure provided the structure/barrier
breaks the line of sight between the equipment and the receptor, provides for proper
equipment ventilation and operations, and complies with all other applicable occupational
safety and health requirements.
c) Heavy equipment shall include standard noise suppression devices such as mufflers,
engine covers, and engine/mechanical isolators, mounts, etc. Equipment and noise
suppression devices shall be maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations while on-site.
d) Pneumatic tools shall include a suppression device on the compressed air exhaust.
e) Connect to existing electrical service to power stationary and portable equipment (e.g.,
pumps, generators, compressors, and welding sets). This measure shall be subject to the
approval of the local electric utility.
3. Construction Activity Noise Control Measures:
a) Demolition Sequencing: Demolition/deconstruction activities shall be sequenced to take
advantage of existing shielding/noise reduction provided by existing buildings, parts of
buildings, and/or other structures (e.g., construction trailers), and shall use methods that
minimize noise and vibration, such as sawing concrete blocks instead of crushing or other
pulverization activities, unless there are project-specific technical and logistical constraints
that require such activities.
b) Install Phase 1 Construction Noise Barrier. During all Phase 1 demolition, site preparation,
grading, structure foundation work (e.g., excavation, pad pour, etc.), paving, and well
Page 225
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 27
Revised September 24, 2025
drilling activities, the applicant shall install and maintain a physical noise barrier along the
portion of the southeast perimeter of the site from 6th Street north (i.e., adjacent to Utica
Avenue) a distance of 500 feet. The barrier shall be installed at-grade (or mounted to
structures located at-grade, such as a K-rail) and extend to a height of at least six (6) feet
above grade, except adjacent to the well drilling area, where the barrier shall extend to a
height of 10 feet above grade, and shall consist of a solid material that is free of openings
or gaps (other than weep holes) and that has a minimum rated transmission loss value of
25 dB adjacent to the well drilling area and 20 dB in all other areas. Potential materials that
are capable of achieving required noise level reductions include nominal 0.5-inch plywood
(20 dB), nominal 0.75-inch plywood (25 dB), commercially available acoustic panels,
blankets, or other products, or any combination of noise barriers and commercial products
that achieve a minimum transmission loss value of 20 dB or 25 dB as required. The barrier
may be removed following the completion of all Phase 1 demolition, site preparation and
grading, structure foundation, paving, and well drilling within the 7-acre southeast quadrant
shown in EIR Exhibit 4.13-3.
c) Install Phase 2B Construction Noise Barrier. During all Phase 2B demolition, site
preparation, grading, structure foundation (e.g., excavation, pad pour, etc.), and paving
work, the applicant shall install and maintain a physical noise barrier along the Phase 2B
northern, eastern, and western boundary. The noise barrier shall be installed at-grade (or
mounted to structures located at-grade, such as a K-rail) and shall extend to a height of at
least six (6) feet above grade. The noise barrier shall consist of a solid material that is free
of openings or gaps (other than weep holes) and has a minimum rated transmission loss
value of 20 dB. Potential materials that are capable of achieving required noise level
reductions include nominal 0.5-inch plywood (20 dB), commercially available acoustic
panels, blankets, or other products, or any combination of noise barriers and commercial
products that achieve a minimum transmission loss value of 20 dB. The barrier may be
removed following the completion of all Phase 2B demolition, site preparation and grading,
structure foundation, and paving work.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-NOI-1, the Project would have
less than significant impacts relative to construction noise (DEIR page 4.13-37).
IMPACT NOISE-2: Would the project generate a substantial permanent increase in ambient
noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise
ordinance.
Substantial Evidence:
As described in DEIR Section 4.13.5, the DEIR estimated the proposed Project’s potential on-
and off-site operational noise levels using empirical equipment noise measurements from a
similar beverage facility (the Downey PC/DC), manufacturer’s specifications, Project-specific
development assumptions regarding the location of equipment, trip generation, etc., and the
FHWA Traffic Noise Model. DEIR Section 4.13.5 indicates the increase in onsite noise levels from
Phase 1 PC, DC, and ASRS and Phase 2 cogeneration facilities could be potentially significant
and require mitigation) (DEIR pages 4.13-37 to 4.13-46). The analysis made the following specific
determinations:
Page 226
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
28 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
(a) increases in onsite noise levels from Phase 1 PC, DC, and ASRS and Phase 2
cogeneration facilities would be potentially significant due to an increase in ambient noise
levels in excess of the standards established in Development Code Section 17.66.110.
However, these levels are reduced to less than significant levels with implementation of
Mitigation Measure MM-NOI-2 (see below);
(b) Increases in onsite noise levels from Phase 1 office and parking facilities and Phase 2A/2B
7th Street warehouse facility would be less than significant;
(c) increases in onsite noise levels (backup generator) would be potentially significant by
increasing ambient noise levels in excess of the standards established in Development Code
Section 17.66.110. With implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-NOI-2 (see below), impacts
will be reduced to less than significant level;
(d) increases in onsite noise levels from new CVWD well would be less than significant; and
(e) increases in off-site traffic noise levels from Project traffic will be less than significant.
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measure to help reduce potential impacts related
to operational noise (i.e., substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in excess of
local standards):
MM-NOI-2: Noise Verification Study. Prior to the issuance of any Phase 1 or Phase 2 grading
permit for the project, the City shall review and approve a final noise analysis, prepared by or on
behalf of the applicant, and based on the final project design, that: 1) Identifies the locations of
the project’s final exterior stationary equipment, including backup generators, and truck dock
areas and any screening walls; and 2) Demonstrates the project’s noise levels will not exceed the
City’s applicable industrial noise standards (as outlined in Development Code Section 17.66.110).
The final analysis shall contain specific and verifiable information pertaining to the project’s final
site design and layout and equipment noise levels (e.g., manufacturer’s specifications, empirical
noise measurements). The analysis may be prepared for Phase 1, Phase 2, or combined Phase
1 and Phase 2 activities if final information is available.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-NOI-2, the Project would have
less than significant impacts relative to operational noise and not result in a substantial permanent
increase in ambient noise levels in excess of local standards (DEIR page 4.13-46).

TRANSPORTATION
IMPACT TRANS-2: Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA guidelines section 15064.3(b)
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT).
Substantial Evidence:
DEIR Section 4.17.4 states that a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Study was prepared for the
Project consistent with the requirements of California Senate Bill 743 and the City’s transportation
report preparation guidelines. The EIR found the proposed Project did not satisfy any of the City-
established screening thresholds so a quantitative VMT analysis was prepared using the San
Bernardino Transportation Analysis Model (SBTAM) in accordance with the City’s guidelines. The
cumulative Project-generated VMT per employee of 16.9 does not exceed the City of Rancho
Cucamonga General Plan Buildout VMT per employee of 17.0 so the proposed Project is forecast
to result in a less than significant VMT impact based on the City-established threshold for
cumulative Project-generated VMT. However, baseline project-generated VMT per employee of
18.3 exceeds the City-established threshold of 17.4 VMT per employee. To reduce the baseline
project-generated VMT to a less than significant level, baseline project-generated VMT must be
reduced by 0.9 VMT per employee, or approximately 4.9 percent. The VMT Study therefore
recommended Mitigation Measure TRA-1 to reduce project VMT below the City’s adopted
standard. With implementation of Mitigation Measure TRA-1, Project VMT impacts would be less
than significant under either the Phase 1 plus Phase 2A scenario or the Phase 1 plus Phase 2B
scenario (DEIR pages 4.17-19 to 4.17-23).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measure to help reduce potential impacts related
to Project VMT to less than significant levels:
MM-TRA-1: VMT Transportation Demand Management Reduction Plan. The proposed
project shall implement a commute trip reduction program consisting of transportation demand
management (TDM) measures that achieve a minimum VMT reduction of 4.9 percent. The VMT
reduction associated with the TDM measures to be implemented shall be quantified in accordance
with the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse
Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity,
Designed for Local Governments, Communities, and Project Developers (December 2021). Per
General Plan Condition of Approval (COA) 5.17-3, the project shall provide but is not limited to
the following as determined applicable by City staff:
1) Provide car-sharing, bike sharing, or ride-sharing programs;
2) Improve or increase access to transit;
3) Include project measures to reduce transportation requirements such as work from home
and flexible work schedules;
4) Link to existing pedestrian or bicycle networks, or transit service; and/or
5) Provide traffic calming where applicable.
Alternatively, the project may participate in a regional VMT mitigation exchange/banking program
(if one has been established) to reduce VMT from the project or other land uses to achieve stated
levels.
Within one year of Phase 2 becoming fully operational, the developer must demonstrate a project
trip reduction of at least 4.9% from estimated trips based on implementation of the actions and
Page 228
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations

City of Rancho Cucamonga
programs outlined in this mitigation measure. If the 4.9% reduction cannot be demonstrated at
that time, the project shall expand its VMT program offerings or participate in a regional VMT
mitigation bank if such a program is available to achieve the 4.9% reduction goal. The project
shall submit annual reports to the City to demonstrate ongoing compliance with this project VMT
reduction goal.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-TRA-1, the Project would have
less than significant impacts relative to vehicle miles traveled (DEIR page 4.17-24).
IMPACT TRANS-5: Would the Project cause substantial adverse cumulative impacts with
respect to transportation and traffic.
Substantial Evidence:
Regarding Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) impacts, Impact TRANS-2 indicated the Project had a
potentially significant VMT impact but that implementation of Mitigation Measure TRA -1,
implementation of a Transportation Demand Management Program, would reduce this potential
impact to less than significant levels. The VMT analysis for the Project included a regional analysis
that compared the Project VMT levels to City-wide (cumulative) levels by 2040. Cumulative link-
level boundary VMT per employee within the City boundary is estimated to decrease under the
plus Project condition compared to the no Project condition; therefore, the proposed Project is
forecast to result in a less than significant VMT impact based on the City-established threshold
for cumulative project effect on VMT. The VMT Study recommended Mitigation Measure TRA-1
to reduce Project VMT below the City’s adopted standard. Cumulative project-generated VMT
and the cumulative project effect on regional VMT is forecast to be less than significant based on
City-established thresholds.
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measure to help reduce potential impacts related
to Project VMT to less than significant levels:
MM-TRA-1: VMT Transportation Demand Management Reduction Plan. See Impact TRA-2
above.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-TRA-1, the Project would have
less than significant impacts relative to vehicle miles traveled including any potential cumulative
contributions (DEIR page 4.17-30).
TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
IMPACT TCR-1: Could the project result in a significant impact if it causes a substantial
adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public
Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is
geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or
object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is listed or eligible
for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of
historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k).
Page 229

Revised September 24, 2025
IMPACT TCR-2: Could the project result in a significant impact if it causes a substantial
adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public
Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is
geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or
object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is a resource
determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to
be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code
section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources
Code section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a
California Native American tribe.
Substantial Evidence:
The proposed Project site is located within the ancestral territory of both the Serrano and
Gabrieleno tribal groups and is therefore of interest to both Tribes. However, only the Gabrieleno
tribe requested consultation on this Project. In the past both the San Manuel and Gabrieleno tribes
have expressed concern regarding impacts to artifacts and resources of their tribes and
recommended four measures for tribal cultural resources (presented below) but did not indicate
whether or not the Project would have any specific impacts on any tribal cultural resources. The
text of all tribal measures have been incorporated into the four measures recommended in this
EIR (TCR-1 through TCR-4). The only change is all the measures now apply to both tribal groups
as appropriate (i.e., in those measures where the specific tribes are named).
The Project will be required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations including if
unanticipated Native American artifacts or resources are found during grading. The City General
Plan contains eight standard conditions of approval for cultural resources (5.5-1 through 5.5-8).
However, the four mitigation measures included in Impact TCR-2 below (MM TCR-1 through TCR-
4) include equivalent procedures and requirements so no standard conditions will be applied in
this case. The Project will have less than significant impacts in this regard under either the Phase
1 plus Phase 2A scenario or the Phase 1 plus Phase 2B scenario (DEIR pages 4.18-5 and 4.18-
6).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures to help reduce potential impacts related
to tribal cultural resources to less than significant levels:
MM-TCR-1: Tribal Coordination. The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources
Department (San Manuel) and the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation (Gabrieleno)
shall be contacted, as detailed in Mitigation Measure CUL-1, of any pre-contact and/or historic-
era cultural resources discovered during project implementation and be provided information
regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and
treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a
Cultural Resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in
coordination with San Manuel and Gabrieleno, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this
Plan. This Plan shall allow for monitors to be present that represent San Manuel and Gabrieleno
for the remainder of the project, should San Manuel and/or Gabrieleno elect to place a monitor or
monitors onsite.
MM-TCR-2: Tribal Monitoring. The project proponent shall retain one or more Native American
Monitor(s) from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation
(Gabrieleno) and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (San Manuel). The monitor(s) shall be
Page 230
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
32 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
retained prior to the commencement of any “ground-disturbing activity” for the subject project at
all project locations (i.e., both on-site and any off-site locations that are included in the project
description/definition and/or required in connection with the project, such as public improvement
work). “Ground-disturbing activity” shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement
removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and
trenching.
A copy of the executed monitoring agreement(s) shall be submitted to the City as the lead agency
prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activity or prior to the issuance of any permit
necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity.
The monitor(s) will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the relevant
ground-disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed, locations of ground-
disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and any other facts, conditions,
materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe. Monitor logs will identify and describe any
discovered tribal cultural resources (TCRs), including but not limited to, Native American cultural
and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, tribal cultural resources,
or “TCR”), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial
goods. Copies of monitor logs will be provided to the project proponent and/or /lead agency upon
written request to the Tribes.
Onsite tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the following (1) written confirmation to
the Gabrieleno and San Manuel from a designated point of contact for the project proponent
and/or the City as the lead agency that all ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve
ground-disturbing activities on the project site or in connection with the project are complete; or
(2) a determination and written notification by the Gabrieleno and San Manuel to the project
proponent and/or the City as the lead agency that no future, planned construction activity and/or
development/construction phase at the project site possesses the potential to impact Gabrieleno
and San Manuel TCRs.
Upon discovery of any TCRs, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery
shall cease (i.e., not less than the surrounding 50 feet) and shall not resume until the discovered
TCR has been fully assessed by the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist. The Kizh will recover
and retain all discovered TCRs in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, in the
Tribe’s sole discretion, and for any purpose the Tribe deems appropriate, including for
educational, cultural and/or historic purposes.
MM-TCR-3: Document Distribution. Any and all archaeological/cultural documents created as
a part of the project (isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be
supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel
Nation Cultural Resources Department (San Manuel) and the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians
– Kizh Nation (Gabrieleno). The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with
San Manuel and Gabrieleno throughout the life of project construction.
MM-TCR-4: Tribal Human Remains. Native American human remains are defined in PRC
5097.98(d)(1) as an inhumation or cremation, and in any state of decomposition or skeletal
completeness. Funerary objects, called associated grave goods in Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute. If Native American human
remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized on the project site, then Public
Resource Code 5097.9 as well as Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 shall be followed.
Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources
Page 231
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 33
Revised September 24, 2025
Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2). Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred
manner of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any discovery of human
remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent further disturbance.
Finding:
The EIR found that with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-TCR-1 through MM-TCR-4,
the Project would have less than significant impacts relative to tribal cultural resources (DEIR
page 4.18-8).
C. Effects Determined to Be Significant, Adverse, and Unavoidable
As presented in the El Camino Project EIR, the City finds that adverse impacts identified below
pertaining to Air Quality and Greenhouse Emissions cannot be mitigated to less than significant
levels even with implementation of all feasible mitigation recommended in the DEIR.
AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS (AIR QUALITY)
IMPACT AIR-1: Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District 2022 Air Quality Management Plan.
Substantial Evidence:
DEIR Section 4.3.5 found that regional operational NOx emissions were potentially significant for
Phases 1 and 2 and required mitigation. In addition, it found that combined regional Phase 1
operational and Phase 2B regional construction were potentially significant for VOC and NOx and
required mitigation. The proposed Project is within the South Coast Air Basin which is under the
jurisdiction of the SCAQMD. Pursuant to the methodology provided in the SCAQMD CEQA Air
Quality Handbook, consistency with the AQMP is affirmed if the Project: (1) Is consistent with the
growth assumptions in the AQMP; and (2) does not increase the frequency or severity of an air
quality standards violation or cause a new one.
Consistency Criterion 1 refers to the growth forecasts and associated assumptions included in
the AQMP. Projects that are consistent with the AQMP growth assumptions would not interfere
with attainment of air quality standards, because this growth is included in the projections used to
formulate the AQMP. The proposed Project is estimated to create approximately 289 net new
jobs. This value is within the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS growth projection for the City of Rancho
Cucamonga of 420 jobs per year, which is an average rate across almost three decades (2016 to
2045. The employment growth associated with the Project (net 289 jobs) represents less than 2%
of the anticipated total employment growth in the City between 2016 and 2045 (16,800 jobs).
Therefore, the proposed Project would not exceed the growth assumptions contained in the
AQMP.
Consistency Criterion 2 refers to the AQMP which contains control measures intended to achieve
attainment of ambient air quality standards in the South Coast Air Basin. The Project would
comply with SCAQMD rules developed as part of the AQMP; however, as described under Impact
AIR-2 below, however the proposed Project’s mitigated emissions levels are anticipated to exceed
SCAQMD NOX emissions thresholds during Phase 1 and Phase 2 operations and during
combined Phase 1 operations and Phase 2B construction. This increase in emissions above
recommended thresholds could result in new and/or more frequent or more severe exceedances
of regional air quality standards. Therefore, the proposed Project has the potential to conflict with
Page 232
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
34 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
the SCAQMD 2022 AQMP due to exceedances of the SCAQMD NOx daily significance threshold
even after mitigation. This impact would be significant and unavoidable even with mitigation (DEIR
pages 4.3-49 to 4.3-50).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures in an attempt to reduce these air
pollutant emission impacts to less than significant levels:
MM-AIR-2A: Reduce Construction VOC Emissions. To reduce construction-related emissions
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the City shall require the applicant to implement the
following measures during all Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction activities:
1) Use architectural coatings that meet the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s
(SCAQMD) “Super Compliant” VOC standard of 10 grams/liter or less for all interior and
exterior primer, sealer, paint, and other coating applications for which a super compliant
product is commercially available.
a) If feasible given contract, logistical, and other construction factors, avoid painting
during peak smog season (July, August, and September) if super compliant coatings
are not commercially available.
2) Keep all coating containers closed when not in use to prevent VOC emissions.
3) Keep all paint and solvent laden rags and other materials in sealed containers to prevent
VOC emissions.
4) Clean up water-based paints with water only and when possible do not rinse clean-up water
down the drain, onto the ground, or into a storm drain.
5) Use SCAQMD compliant Clean Air Solvents to clean paint application equipment.
6) Recycle leftover paint.
MM-AIR-2B: Reduce Construction NOx and PM Exhaust Emissions. To reduce construction-
related exhaust emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), including
diesel particulate matter (DPM), the City shall require the applicant to implement the following
measures during all Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction activities:
1) Connect to existing electrical service to power construction trailers and stationary and
portable equipment (e.g., pumps, generators, compressors, and welding sets). This
measure shall be subject to the approval of the local electric utility. If it is not feasible to
connect to electrical service and/or extend electrical service to all work sites, biodiesel (no
more than B20 blend), renewable diesel, or propane shall be used to power stationary and
portable equipment provided the use of such fuels is allowed pursuant to manufacturer’s
specifications. The use of stationary or portable diesel-fueled equipment shall be prohibited
in the project area unless electrical service is denied, alternative fuels are not permitted by
the manufacturer for the specific equipment in use, and there are no alternative equipment
types capable of being powered by alternative fuels that can be used instead of the standard
diesel-fueled equipment.
2) All construction equipment with a rated power-output of 50 horsepower (hp) or greater shall
be certified to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 Final nonroad
diesel engine emissions standards for NOX and PM10, or be retrofitted with California Air
Resources Board (CARB)-verified diesel emissions control strategies capable of reducing
exhaust NOX and PM10 emissions to levels that meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards,
unless the applicant submits evidence to the City that specific equipment meeting this
requirement is not available on loan, rent, or other terms of use within 200 miles of the city.
In this instance, the next highest available emissions tier (e.g., Tier 4 Interim, Tier 3) for the
specific equipment in question shall be required.
Page 233

El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 35
Revised September 24, 2025
3) Limit idling of diesel-powered construction equipment, vendor delivery trucks, and hauling
trucks to no more than two minutes unless manufacturer’s specifications specifically require
main engine idling is necessary to maintain equipment in good working order.
MM-AIR-2C: Reduce Light-duty Vehicle Trip Emissions. To reduce light duty vehicle trip
emissions (i.e., passenger cars and pick-up trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500
pounds or less), the City shall require the applicant to comply with the voluntary Tier 1 designated
parking for clean air vehicles and electric vehicle (EV) charging provisions contained in the version
of the California Green Building Code (CalGreen Code) that is in effect at the time of building
permit approval, unless the City has adopted local requirements that are more stringent than the
CalGreen Code. As of January 1, 2025, the 2022 CalGreen Code includes the following voluntary
clean air vehicle parking and EV charging provisions for non-residential projects:
1) Designated Parking for Clean Air Vehicles Tier 1 Provisions (CalGreen Code Section
A5.106.5.1): The number of combined designated parking spaces for a zero-emitting, fuel-
efficient, and car/vanpool vehicles shall be 35% of the total number of parking spaces
provided by the project. Based on the project’s current proposed 521 parking spaces, the
total number of clean air vehicle designated parking spaces for the project equals 182
spaces.
2) EV Charging Tier 1 Provisions (CalGreen Code Section A5.106.5.3): The number of EV
capable spaces, and EV capable spaces with electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE),
which creates an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) shall be determined based on
the total number of actual parking spaces as set forth in CalGreen Code Table
A5.106.5.3.1. Based on the project’s current proposed number of 521 parking spaces:
a) The number of EV capable spaces shall be 30% of the total parking spaces provided.
Based on the project’s current proposed 521 parking spaces, the total number of EV
capable spaces for the project equals 157 spaces.
b) The number of EV capable spaces provided with EVSE shall be 33% of the number of EV
capable spaces provided by the project. Based on the project’s estimated total number of
EV capable spaces for the project (157, see subsection a) above), the number of EV
capable spaces with EVSE for the project equals 52 spaces (assuming all EVSE are level
2 charging equipment). The spaces with EVSE count towards the total number EV capable
spaces required by subsection a) above. The EVSE may be any combination of level 2 and
direct current fast charging equipment as permitted by CalGreen Code Section 5.106.5.3.2
(EVCS), and the EVCS may be managed by an automatic load management system
(ALMS) in accordance with CalGreen Code Section 5.106.5.3.3 (ALMS).
MM-AIR-2D: Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan (SAME AS TRA-1). The project shall
implement a commute trip reduction program consisting of transportation demand management
(TDM) measures that achieve a minimum VMT reduction of 4.9 percent. The VMT reduction
associated with the TDM measures to be implemented shall be quantified in accordance with the
California Air Pollution Control Officers Association Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas
Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity,
Designed for Local Governments, Communities, and Project Developers (December 2021). Per
General Plan Condition of Approval (COA) 5.17-3, the project shall provide but is not limited to
the following as determined applicable by City staff:
1) Provide car-sharing, bike sharing, and ride-sharing programs;
2) Improve or increase access to transit;
Page 234

City of Rancho Cucamonga
3) Incorporate neighborhood electric vehicle networks into the project;
4) Include project measures to reduce transportation requirements such as work from
home and flexible work schedules;
5) Link to existing pedestrian or bicycle networks, or transit service; and/or
6) Provide traffic calming where applicable.
MM-AIR-2E: Reduce Truck Trip Emissions. To reduce truck trip emissions (i.e., light-heavy,
medium-heavy, and heavy-heavy duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 8,501 pounds or
greater) and promote the use of near-zero emission (NZE) and zero emission vehicles (ZEV), the
City shall require the applicant to:
1) Exceed the mandatory electric vehicle (EV) charging readiness requirements for planned
off-street loading spaces specified in the version of the California Green Building Code
(CalGreen Code) that is in effect at the time of building permit approval, unless the City
has adopted local requirements that are more stringent than the CalGreen Code. As of
January 1, 2025, the 2022 CalGreen Code, Section 5.106.5.4 (EV charging: medium-duty
and heavy-duty), specifies minimum power requirements for dedicated branch circuits,
reserved locations for medium and heavy-duty ZEV charging cabinets and conduit routing,
and sufficiently sized raceways and busways between electrical service panels and ZEV
charging areas. Therefore, the City shall require the applicant to:
a) Design and include sufficient space for the transformer, main service equipment, and
cabinets/subpanels necessary to accommodate a sufficient number of branch circuits
to provide future installation of electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) at all truck
docks and main truck parking areas.
b) Design and incorporate a sufficient number of raceways/busways to provide future
EVSE installation at all truck docks and main truck parking areas.
c) Dedicate/preserve convenient locations near all truck docks and main truck parking
areas for the future installation of EVSE and reserve pathways for conduits needed to
connect the EVSE to other electrical service equipment (e.g., raceway, cabinet, etc.)
d) Install EVSE at 10% of the total truck docks included in the final Project design. Based
on the project’s estimated total number of truck docks (57, see subsection a) above),
the number of docks with EVSE for the project equals 6 docks.
2) Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) Restrictions: The applicant shall prohibit the use of
diesel fueled TRUs on-site. All TRUs operated at the site shall be powered by electricity
3) Idling Signage: Signs shall be posted at all truck access gates and loading dock areas
reminding drivers of idling limitations. The signs shall be clearly visible, readable at a
distance of 10 feet, and notify truck drivers that:
a) The vehicle’s primary diesel engine shall be turned off when not in use.
b) The vehicle’s primary diesel engine shall not idle for more than 5 consecutive minutes
at any location pursuant to Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 2485.
MM-GHG-1: Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions. To reduce GHG
emissions from appliance-related energy consumption, the City shall require all applicant installed
refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, and room air conditioners intended for
employee use to be Energy Star certified products.

Revised September 24, 2025
MM-GHG-2: Reduce Building Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions. To reduce GHG
emissions associated with the performance of the building envelope and systems components
covered by Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, the City shall require all new
construction and major renovations undertaken by the applicant associated with the Project to be
designed to have a total energy design rating that is at least 5% less than the standard building
design for Climate Zone 15. The energy budget for the standard design building and the energy
budget for the proposed design building shall be determined in accordance with the definitions
and approach set forth in the version of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code)
that is in effect at the time of building permit approval (currently the 2022 Energy Code), unless
the City has adopted local requirements that are more stringent than the Energy Code. The
requirement to reduce a project’s energy budget by 5% below the standard design building shall
not apply if the Energy Code or the City has already established a zero net energy requirement
for the standard design building.
Finding:
The DEIR found that, even with implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, the
Project would still result in significant regional operational NOx emissions for Phases 1 and 2 and
combined regional Phase 1 operational and Phase 2B regional construction emissions were still
significant for NOx. These emissions were significant and unavoidable and require a Statement
of Overriding Considerations.
IMPACT AIR-2: Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria air pollutants for which the South Coast Air Basin is designated non-attainment
under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.
Substantial Evidence:
DEIR Section 4.3.5 found the Project would have potentially significant regional NOx emissions
during operation of Phases 1 and 2 and required mitigation. In addition, the EIR found that
combined regional Phase 1 operational and Phase 2B regional construction Project emissions
were potentially significant for VOC and NOx and required mitigation. This is the result of Project
emissions from vehicles and stationary sources exceeding the daily significance thresholds
established by SCAQMD for NOx and VOCs as indicated (DEIR pages 4.3-51 to 4.3-63).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures in an attempt to reduce these air
pollutant emission impacts to less than significant levels:
MM-AIR-2A: Reduce Construction VOC Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2B: Reduce Construction NOx & PM Exhaust Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above)
MM-AIR-2C: Reduce Light-duty Vehicle Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2D: Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan (SAME AS TRA-1). (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2E: Reduce Truck Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-GHG-1: Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1
above).
MM-GHG-2: Reduce Building Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1
above).

Finding:
The DEIR found that, even with implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, the
Project would still result in significant regional operational NOx emissions for Phases 1 and 2 and
combined regional Phase 1 operational and Phase 2B regional construction emissions were still
significant for NOx. These emissions were significant and unavoidable and require a Statement
of Overriding Considerations (DEIR page 4.3-63).
IMPACT AIR-5: Would the project cause substantial adverse cumulative impacts with
respect to air quality.
Substantial Evidence:
The level of expected future development in the City and surrounding areas is substantial (i.e.,
174 projects in four jurisdictions with 8,362 residential units and approximately 15 million square
feet of non-residential development). In addition, the City expects continued growth based on its
General Plan population and housing projections. While it is possible that cumulative projects 16-
18 may be under construction during the same timeframe as the Project, it is difficult to predict
with any certainty due to the many factors involved in starting and maintaining construction (e.g.,
financing, equipment and staff availability, weather, etc.).
In developing its CEQA significance thresholds, the SCAQMD considered the emission levels at
which a Project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. As described under
Impact AIR-2A, the proposed Project would result in potentially significant VOC and NOx impacts
for regional construction emissions, regional operational emissions, and combined Phase 1
operational and Phase 2B construction emissions. The Project would incorporate Mitigation
Measures AIR-2A through AIR-2E; however, regional operational emissions for NOx as well as
combined operational and construction emissions for NOx would remain above SCAQMD
thresholds and have the potential cause or contribute to existing or future air quality violations,
thus conflicting with the 2022 AQMP (DEIR pages 4.3-72 and 4.3-73).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures in an attempt to reduce these
cumulative air pollutant emission impacts to less than significant levels:
MM-AIR-2A: Reduce Construction VOC Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2B: Reduce Construction NOx & PM Exhaust Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above)
MM-AIR-2C: Reduce Light-duty Vehicle Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2D: Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan (SAME AS TRA-1). (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2E: Reduce Truck Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-GHG-1: Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1
above).
MM-GHG-2: Reduce Building Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1
above).
Finding:
The DEIR found that, even with implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, the
Project would still result in significant regional operational NOx emissions for Phases 1 and 2 and
Page 237
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 39
Revised September 24, 2025
combined regional Phase 1 operational and Phase 2B regional construction emissions were still
significant for NOx. These emissions were significant and unavoidable and require a Statement
of Overriding Considerations (DEIR page 4.3-73).
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
IMPACT GHG-1: Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may
have a significant impact on the environment.
Substantial Evidence:
DEIR Section 4.8.5 states the proposed Project would generate GHG emissions from the short-
term construction and long-term operational sources. Construction activities would cease to emit
GHG upon completion, unlike operational emissions that would be continuous year after year over
the life of the Project. Accordingly, the SCAQMD recommends averaging construction GHG
emissions over a 30-year period and combining this average with operational emissions estimates
to facilitate comparison to potential thresholds, standards, plans, etc. that may be based on
annualized GHG emissions estimates or GHG reduction targets.
The Project’s construction-related GHG emissions were estimated using Project-specific
construction activities and SCAQMD-recommended air quality and GHG emissions modeling
software (i.e., CalEEMod). Once operational, the Project would generate GHG emissions from
mobile, area, energy, water/wastewater, solid waste, refrigeration, off -road, and stationary
sources. The Project’s operational-related energy consumption was estimated using Project-
specific development and operational characteristics, manufacturer’s equipment specifications,
and SCAQMD-recommended modeling software (i.e., CalEEMod). It is noted that the proposed
Project’s operational GHG emissions would vary by phase, equipment operations (anticipated
minimum or potential maximum operations), and whether or not thermal recovery from the
cogeneration system is used to offset natural gas combustion in Phase 2 boiler operation. The
EIR evaluated worst-case GHG emissions estimates for each Project phase based on maximum
potential stationary source equipment operations (i.e., maximum 100% operating times instead
of anticipated typical operating times).
The proposed Project would result in a net increase in annual GHG emissions compared to
existing conditions for all phases and operating scenarios that is above the SCAQMD’s industrial
threshold of 10,000 MTCO2e per year. During initial Phase 1 operations in 2026, the Project would
result in a net increase in GHG emissions equal to 29,822 MTCO2e, with the largest net increases
occurring from trucks and passenger vehicles (approximately 55% of the net increase), building
energy (approximately 20% of the net increase), and the primary boiler’s natural gas consumption
(approximately 19% of the net increase). The Project’s GHG emissions would increase in Phase
2, beginning in 2027, due to the operation of more stationary source equipment in the PC,
including a second primary boiler and the cogeneration system. The net increase in GHG
emissions during Phase 2 would be contingent on the amount of net electricity and thermal
recovery that occurs from the proposed cogeneration system but would be between
approximately 43,899 MTCO2e per year and approximately 41,126 MMBtu with thermal recovery.
Similar to Phase 1, the largest net increases in GHG emissions during Phase 2 would be from
truck and passenger vehicle trips (approximately 37% to 39% of the net increase) and boilers
(between approximately 27% and 29% of the net increase); however, the planned cogeneration
system would substantially reduce building energy GHG emissions from approximately 7,663
MTCO2e per year in Phase 1 to 4,504 MTCO2e per year in Phase 2.
Page 238
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
40 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
The proposed Project’s net increase in GHG emissions, at worst-case, would be approximately
29,822 MTCO2e per year during Phase 1 and approximately 43,899 MTCO2e per year during
Phase 2, which exceeds the SCAQMD’s industrial 10,000 MTCO2e threshold. To reduce the
proposed Project’s operational GHG emissions levels, the City will require the implementation of
Mitigation Measures GHG-1, Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions, and
GHG-2, Reduce Building Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions. These mitigation measures
will increase the Project’s energy efficiency and reduce building energy consumption. Combined,
these measures are estimated to lower GHG emissions between approximately 68 MTCO2e and
150 MTCO2e per year, or 1.5% to 2% of total building energy emissions (DEIR pages 4.8-25 to
4.8-31).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures in an attempt to reduce these
greenhouse gas emission impacts to less than significant levels:
MM-GHG-1: Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions. To reduce GHG
emissions from appliance-related energy consumption, the City shall require all applicant installed
refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, and room air conditioners intended for
employee use to be Energy Star certified products.
MM-GHG-2: Reduce Building Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions. To reduce GHG
emissions associated with the performance of the building envelope and systems components
covered by Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, the City shall require all new
construction and major renovations undertaken by the applicant associated with the Project to be
designed to have a total energy design rating that is at least 5% less than the standard building
design for Climate Zone 15. The energy budget for the standard design building and the energy
budget for the proposed design building shall be determined in accordance with the definitions
and approach set forth in the version of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code)
that is in effect at the time of building permit approval (currently the 2022 Energy Code), unless
the City has adopted local requirements that are more stringent than the Energy Code. The
requirement to reduce a project’s energy budget by 5% below the standard design building shall
not apply if the Energy Code or the City has already established a zero net energy requirement
for the standard design building.
Finding:
Even with implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-GHG-1 and MM-GHG-2, the greenhouse
gas emissions of the Project would not be reduced to less than significant levels and a Statement
of Overriding Considerations is required. Impacts are significant and unavoidable.
IMPACT GHG-3: Cause substantial adverse cumulative impacts with respect to GHGs.
Substantial Evidence:
Global climate change is the result of GHG emissions worldwide; individual projects do not
generate enough GHG emissions to influence global climate change. Thus, the analysis of GHG
emissions is by nature, an inherently cumulative analysis focused on whether an individual
project’s contribution to global climate change is cumulatively considerable. As described under
Impacts GHG-1 and GHG-2, the proposed Project would not conflict with any applicable plan,
policy, or regulation adopted for the purposes of reducing GHG emissions but would generate
GHG emissions that exceed the SCAQMD’s 10,000 MTCO2e per year industrial significance
threshold applied in this EIR. Accordingly, the proposed Project would result in a cumulatively
Page 239
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 41
Revised September 24, 2025
considerable and significant GHG emissions contribution even after the incorporation of mitigation
measures.
In addition to the GHG-specific mitigation measures, the City shall also require the applicant to
implement Mitigation Measures AIR-2C, Reduce Light-Duty Vehicle Trip Emissions, AIR-2D/TRA-
1, Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan, and AIR-2E, Reduce Truck Trip Emissions, which would
increase the amount of passenger vehicle and truck EV charging infrastructure installed at the
Project site and reduce employee trips and associated VMT by approximately 5% (DEIR page
4.8-39).
The EIR recommended the following mitigation measures in an attempt to reduce these
greenhouse gas emission impacts to less than significant levels:
MM-GHG-1: Reduce Appliance Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact GHG-
1 above).
MM-GHG-2: Reduce Building Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions. (see Impact GHG-1
above).
MM-AIR-2C: Reduce Light-duty Vehicle Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2D: Prepare VMT/TDM Reduction Plan (SAME AS TRA-1). (see Impact AIR-1 above).
MM-AIR-2E: Reduce Truck Trip Emissions. (see Impact AIR-1 above).
Finding:
Even with implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, cumulative greenhouse gas
emissions of the Project would not be reduced to less than significant levels and a Statement of
Overriding Considerations is required. Impacts are significant and unavoidable.

6 ALTERNATIVES
This section contains a discussion of the alternatives considered and rejected in the El Camino
Project DEIR, including the No Project – No Development; Expand Existing Facility (Alternative
1); Reduced Intensity (Alternative 2); and Mixed Use (Commercial/Residential/Office)(Alternative
3). For alternative locations, “only locations that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the
significant effects of the project need be considered for inclusion in the EIR” (Section
15126.6(f)(2)(A)). The significant impacts of the proposed Project (NOx and GHG emissions) are
based on the type and size of the proposed use so this project on any other site would still result
in significant impacts identified in the EIR. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines section
15126.6(a), this EIR does not evaluate every conceivable alternative. A feasible range of
alternatives that will allow decision-makers to make a reasoned choice and that meet most of the
Project’s guiding principles has been evaluated.
Project Objectives
The Project is intended to implement the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. The
purpose of this Project is to implement the vision laid out in the Project objectives. The Project
would generally increase the City’s production capacity and further fortify the economic base of
the City. It would also revitalize a portion of the City with new and renovated industry and
production. The Project is proposed to be developed to accomplish the following objectives:
Objective 1: Facilitate the continued operation of the existing distribution facility with expanded
operations and employment capacity.
Objective 2: Redevelop an existing industrial site with modern and sustainable facilities,
including large-scale buildings, intricate manufacturing processes, and large employment
opportunities.
Objective 3: Develop and operate an attractive state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution
facility in the City that meets industry standards to be competitive with similar facilities in the
region.
Objective 4: Maximize the efficiency of the existing operations during the expansion process
by providing interim manufacturing steps within the same building envelope.
Objective 5: Develop and operate a production and bottling facility that positively contributes
to the local economy through new capital investment and the creation of new employment
opportunities, including opportunities for highly-trained workers.
Objective 6: Develop an industrial and manufacturing facility that is in close proximity to
Interstate 10, Interstate 15, and other major transportation arterial roadways, to support the
production of consumer goods and the distribution of manufactured goods throughout the region.
Objective 7: Implement a microgrid energy production system via cogeneration at an existing
manufacturing site to minimize manufacturing waste and to reduce the demand on existing public
services and systems while employing carbon-reducing technologies and reduce the facility’s
potential climate impact.

Selection of Alternatives
To provide a basis for further understanding of the environmental effects of a proposed project
and possible approaches to reducing its identified significant impacts, the CEQA Guidelines
require an EIR to also “describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location
of the project, which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project, but would
avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, and evaluate the
comparative merits of the alternatives.” In addition to the No Project-No Development Alternative,
which is essentially existing conditions on the site at the time the NOP was issued, the following
three alternatives were selected for detailed evaluation in comparison to the proposed Project:
Alternative 1 - Expand Existing Facility. This alternative would almost double the area of the
existing beverage distribution facility to 400,000 square feet for new non-residential uses and
provide beverage bottling in addition to and in conjunction with the current distribution facility. It
would have no residential units and would allow the existing beverage warehouse/distribution
building to continue operation. This plan would utilize surface parking and the new building would
have a maximum height of approximately 35-40 feet. The land not needed for the new building
footprint or parking would be landscaped with walkways for employees and possibly public use if
such areas were created along the boundaries of the site (i.e., along adjacent roadways). This
alternative would also include use/reuse of the existing warehouse on the Phase 2 property. This
alternative includes a new CVWD well but not cogeneration.
Alternative 2 - Reduced Intensity. This alternative would develop about 540,000 square feet of
light industrial (non-residential) use, which is approximately 30% less new building area compared
to the proposed Project. This plan would have no residential units but require demolition of the
existing beverage distribution facility. This plan would eliminate the proposed parking structure
and use the remaining non-built area of the site for surface parking. This plan would have
landscaping and outdoor use areas for employees consistent with the City General Plan and
Development Code requirements. This alternative includes cogeneration and a new CVWD well.
Alternative 3 - Mixed Use (C/R/O). This alternative would develop 675,000 square feet of new
office and commercial uses on the first two floors of three new four-story buildings on the site
(commercial on ground floor and offices on the 2nd floor). This plan would also have 270 residential
units on the top two floors of the three new buildings. The remainder of the site would have
covered and uncovered surface parking, landscaping, and employee and tenant and public use
areas on the remainder of the site (play equipment, pickleball courts, walkways, dog park, etc.).
The site would be developed according to the General Plan and Development Code requirements
for the site with a small internal street east off Haven Avenue visually dividing the property which
would be consistent with the development code and general plan block network standards and
policies. This alternative is consistent with the existing General Plan land use designation (21st
Century Employment District) and the existing zoning classification (ME2). While there are other
possible variations of land plans that meet the General Plan and zoning designations, this one
was selected as a reasonable alternate land plan for evaluation in the EIR.

Evaluation of Alternatives
Substantial Evidence:
No Project Alternative
The No Project Alternative represents existing conditions on the site and would have no impacts
or less than significant impacts compared to those of the proposed Project due to the fact there
would be no new development and only a continuation of uses under this Alternative, and it would
result in no significant and unavoidable impacts. It would also not achieve any of the Project
Objectives which would involve some type of new development on the site.
Alternative 1: Expand Existing Facility
DEIR Section 5.5 concluded this alternative would have the following less than significant impacts
that are equivalent to those of the proposed Project due to the fact the entire site will be disturbed:
Agriculture and Forest Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and
Paleontological Resources; Mineral Resources; and Tribal Cultural Resources.
DEIR Section 5.5 also concluded that Alternative 1 would have the following reduced and less
than significant impacts relative to those of the proposed Project since it involves less intense
development: Aesthetics; Air Quality (health risks, odors); Energy; Hazards and Hazardous
Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning; Population, Housing, and
Employment; Noise and Vibration; Public Services; Recreation; Utilities and Service Systems;
Transportation; and Wildfire
Alternative 1 would have the following impacts that are less than those of the proposed Project
but are still significant and unavoidable even with implementation of all recommended feasible
mitigation measures: Air Quality (AQMP Consistency, project and cumulative NOx emissions);
and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Alternative 2: Reduced Intensity
DEIR Section 5.6 concluded this alternative would have the following less than significant impacts
that are equivalent to those of the proposed Project due to the fact the entire site will be disturbed:
Agriculture and Forest Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and
Paleontological Resources; Mineral Resources; and Tribal Cultural Resources.
DEIR Section 5.6 also concluded that Alternative 2 would have the following reduced and less
than significant impacts relative to those of the proposed Project since it involves less intense
development: Aesthetics; Air Quality (health risks, odors); Energy; Hazards and Hazardous
Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning; Population, Housing, and
Employment; Noise and Vibration; Public Services; Recreation; Utilities and Service Systems;
Transportation; and Wildfire
Alternative 2 would have the following impacts that are less than those of the proposed Project
but are still significant and unavoidable even with implementation of all recommended feasible
mitigation measures: Air Quality (AQMP Consistency, project and cumulative NOx emissions);
and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Page 243
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 45
Revised September 24, 2025
Alternative 3: Mixed Use (Commercial/Residential/Office)
DEIR Section 5.7 concluded this alternative would have the following less than significant impacts
that are equivalent to those of the proposed Project due to the fact the entire site will be disturbed:
Agriculture and Forest Resources; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and
Paleontological Resources; Mineral Resources; and Tribal Cultural Resources.
DEIR Section 5.7 also concluded that Alternative 3 would have the following reduced and less
than significant impacts relative to those of the proposed Project based on the analysis of the mix
of land use proposed for this alternative (i.e., commercial, office, and residential): Aesthetics; Air
Quality (health risks, odors); Energy; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water
Quality; Land Use and Planning; Population, Housing, and Employment; Public Services;
Recreation; Utilities and Service Systems; Transportation; and Wildfire.
Alternative 3 would have the following impacts that are less than those of the proposed Project
but are still significant and unavoidable even with implementation of all recommended feasible
mitigation measures: Air Quality (AQMP Consistency, project and cumulative VOC, NOx, CO,
PM10, and PM2.5 emissions); Greenhouse Gas Emissions; and Noise and Vibration (from
increased vehicular traffic)
Meeting Project Objectives
DEIR Section 5.9 indicated the No Project Alternative does not meet the Project Objectives since
it involves no development. Alternatives 1 and 2 do not meet the Project Objectives to nearly the
same degree as the proposed Project because they do not provide sufficient additional space to
adequately manufacture, bottle, and distribute the planned beverages on the scale envisioned by
the Project. In addition, Alternative 3 does not meet the Objectives of the Project because it
proposes land uses that are consistent with the General Plan and zoning but do not provide for
expanded beverage distribution and new bottling capabilities which is proposed by the Project.
Environmentally Superior Alternative
The No Project Alternative eliminates the significant impacts of the Project, so it is environmentally
superior to the Project but it does not achieve any of the Project Objectives. Therefore, one of the
development alternatives must be identified as an environmentally superior alternative as well.
Alternative 1 – Expand Existing Facility, reduces potential impacts of the Project to the greatest
extent practical although it does not eliminate or reduce either of the significant and unavoidable
impacts of the Project (air quality and greenhouse gas emissions) to less than significant levels.
Alternative 2 also reduces impacts of the proposed Project but not nearly to the same degree as
Alternative 1 and also does not eliminate either of the significant impacts of the Project. In addition,
Alternative 3 would likely result in significant noise impacts due to its substantial increase in
vehicular traffic so it would result in three significant and unavoidable impacts compared to the
two significant impacts of Alternatives 1 and 2 and the proposed Project.
Alternatives 1 and 2 do not meet the Project Objectives to nearly the same degree as the
proposed Project because they do not provide sufficient space to create a unified beverage
manufacturing, bottling, and distribution facility as envisioned by the proposed Project. Alternative
3 does not meet the Objectives of the Project because it proposes a mix of land uses that do not
include a larger beverage bottling and distribution facility as included in the proposed Project.
Page 244
Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
46 El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact
City of Rancho Cucamonga
For these reasons, The EIR determined that Alternative 1 – Expand Existing Facility, is the
Environmentally Superior Alternative to the proposed Project.
Findings:
DEIR Section 5.10 found Alternative 1 to be environmentally superior to the Project although it
did not eliminate or reduce either of the significant impacts of the Project (NOx and greenhouse
gas emissions) to less than significant levels. In addition, Alternative 1 does not meet the Project
Objectives to nearly the same degree as the proposed Project because it does not provide
sufficient additional space to adequately manufacture, bottle, and distribute the planned
beverages on the scale envisioned by the Project or needed for the existing facility to operate at
peak efficiency. For these reasons, the City determines that Alternative 1 is less desirable than
the proposed Project and therefore rejects the alternative per Public Resources Code §
21081(a)(3); CEQA Guidelines, §15091(a)(3).

7 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
CEQA requires that a Lead Agency balance the benefits of a project against its adverse and
unavoidable effects in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the
unavoidable adverse effects, those effects may be considered “acceptable” pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15093(a). CEQA requires that a Lead Agency support, in writing, the
specific reasons for considering a project acceptable when significant impacts are infeasible to
mitigate. Those reasons must be based on substantial evidence in the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) or elsewhere in the administrative record pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15093(b). The Lead Agency’s written reasons are referred to as a Statement of Overriding
Considerations. For those significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to below a level of
significance, the Lead Agency is required to find that the specific overriding economic, legal,
social, technological, or other benefits of the project outweigh the significant impacts on the
environment.
Regarding a Statement of Overriding Considerations, Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines
provides the following:
1. CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic,
legal, social, technological, or other benefits including region-wide or statewide
environmental benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks
when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social,
technological, or other benefits including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits
or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental
effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable."
2. When the lead agency approves a project that will result in the occurrence of significant
effects which are identified in the Final EIR but are not avoided or substantially lessened,
the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its action based on the
Final EIR and/or other information in the record. The statement of overriding
considerations shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record.
3. If an agency makes a statement of overriding considerations, the statement should be
included in the record of the project approval and should be mentioned in the Notice of
Determination. This statement does not substitute for, and shall be in addition to, findings
required pursuant to Section 15091.
The City will approve the El Camino Project and has prepared a Final EIR that satisfies the
requirements of CEQA. The following adverse impacts of the project are considered significant
and unavoidable based on the analysis in the Draft EIR (DEIR), Final EIR (FEIR), and the Findings
of Fact.
• Impact AIR-1: Conflict with or Obstruct Implementation of Applicable Air Quality Plans
because it would exceed the growth assumption of the 2022 South Coast Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions would exceed
SCAQMD’s regional threshold, thereby impeding AQMP attainment. (Regional

The City has determined that the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts identified above
are acceptable because those impacts are outweighed by the economic, social, technological,
and other benefits of the Project, listed below.
• The project will maintain the City’s economic viability and productivity over the long term
by encouraging efficient and sustainable use of the overall site, a portion of which at
present is vacant.
• The project increases an employment generating use thereby increasing employment
opportunities within Rancho Cucamonga.
• The project provides for expanded and comprehensive siting of an important employer
and business to help sustain a strong local economy, with design qualities that contribute
to its success.
• The project will expand an industrial and manufacturing facility with ready access to
Interstate 10, Interstate 15, and other major transportation arterial roadways, to support
the production of consumer goods and the distribution of manufactured goods throughout
the region.
• The project provides for the development and maintenance of a citywide bicycle network
of off-street bike paths, off-street sidewalks, and on-street bike lanes, including along
Haven Avenue, 6th Street, 7th Street, and Utica Avenue.
• The project proportionally supports a connected, balanced, integrated, safe, and multi-
modal transportation system that accommodates all travel options.
• The project promotes the use of transit within the City as a means of reducing local traffic
congestion, achieving greenhouse gases reduction targets, and connecting the
community physically and socially.
• The project includes energy efficiency and conservation systems and measures that
reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
• The project will Implement a microgrid energy production system via cogeneration at an
existing manufacturing site to minimize manufacturing waste and to reduce the demand
on existing public services and systems while employing carbon-reducing technologies
and reduce the facility’s potential climate impacts.

Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
El Camino Project EIR Findings of Fact 49
Revised September 24, 2025
• The project will increase the potential for beverage manufacturing as a revenue-
generating land use for the City.
The City Council hereby finds that the foregoing benefits provided to the public through the
approval of the project outweigh the identified significant adverse environmental impacts of the
project that cannot be mitigated. The City Council finds that each of the Project benefits separately
and individually outweighs all of the unavoidable adverse environmental effects identified in the
EIR and therefore finds those impacts to be acceptable. The City Council further finds that no
feasible alternative exists that both would provide all of the foregoing benefits to the public and
reduce environmental impacts when compared to the Project.

Re: Comments on Draft Environmental Impact Report for El Camino Project, SCH No.
2023080369
Dear Mr. McPherson:
On June 12, 2025, Advocates for the Environment submitted a comment letter regarding the
Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the El Camino project (Project). The Project Site is
located in the southern area of the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City), in southwestern San
Bernardino County. The Project proposes to develop the 30.1-acre Project Site by constructing up to
1,054,541 square-feet of new manufacturing, light industrial, and office spaces across two construction
phases. We have also reviewed the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), prepared in October
2025, and submit additional comments regarding the sufficiency of the DEIR’s Greenhouse-Gas
(GHG) analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The comments in this
letter are intended to supplement, but not replace, the comments in our original comment letter.
The DEIR’s GHG Analysis Violates CEQA
The unmitigated project-related emissions for the first phase are 29,821.6 metric tons of carbon
dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e) per year (DEIR, p. 4.8-28.) The yearly unmitigated emissions from
the second phase are expected to be 43,898.9 MTCO2e without thermal recovery, or 41,126.0
MTCO2e with thermal recovery. The City adopted the South Coast Air Quality Management
District’s (SCAQMD) numerical GHG threshold of 10,000 MTCO2e per year for industrial
projects. (DEIR, p. 4.8-22.) This is an invalid threshold, as discussed below. But, based on this
threshold, the City determined the project would have a significant and unavoidable impact even after
mitigation measures. After mitigation efforts, the total emissions calculated still greatly exceeds the
threshold. The two proposed GHG mitigation measures would only reduce the Project’s GHG
emissions by about 150 MTCO2e per year, representing about 2% of the Project’s annual emissions.
(DEIR, p. 4.8-31.) The City also references air quality mitigation measures for reducing vehicle
emissions, but this still only would reduce less than 100 MTCO2e, representing a mere 0.4% of

mobile source emissions reductions. The City did not demonstrate that these mitigation measures
represent the maximum feasible mitigation of the Project’s significant GHG impact.
Under CEQA, the City is required to include all feasible mitigation measures, which were not
incorporated here. The City offered Mitigation Measures GHG-1, which would reduce GHG
emissions from appliance energy consumption; and GHG-2, which would reduce GHG emissions
from building energy consumption. Additionally, Mitigation Measures AIR-3 through AIR-5 were
cross-referenced from the Air Quality section of the DEIR because of their potential co-benefits of
reducing carbon emissions. (DEIR, p. 4.8-31.) Yet, the City acknowledged that the impact of the air
quality mitigation measures would have minimal effect on the overall GHG impact of the Project.
The City determined that the Project’s GHG impact would be significant and unavoidable,
without providing substantial evidence that the mitigation measures included in the DEIR
represented the only feasible mitigation measures for reducing the significant GHG impact. There are
other feasible mitigation measures that the City should have considered and adopted to reduce the
significant GHG impact identified in the DEIR. The DEIR should have included more mitigation to
reduce the Project’s GHG emissions to the extent required by CEQA.
The City’s GHG analysis improperly relied upon SCAQMD’s recommendation
SCAQMD adopted the 10,000 MTCO2e threshold (the Threshold) in 2009 based on the
December 5, 2008 staff proposal. (the Staff Proposal).1 A single-sheet summary of SCAQMD’s Air
Quality Significance Thresholds was posted in March 2023,2 and includes the purported GHG
threshold of 10,000 MTCO2e/year for industrial facilities, without citation sources, despite citing
references for the other standards (e.g., SCAQMD CEQA Handbook, AQMD Rules 1303 and 403.)
So, it can be assumed that the Staff Proposal is therefore the only available authority supporting the
Threshold.
The City failed to independently analyze or support for why the SCAQMD GHG threshold of
10,000 MTCO2e/year is valid for this Project. It is inadequate for the Project because:
• the SCAQMD lacks the authority to set CEQA thresholds for projects for which it is not the
lead agency;
• the rationale the SCAQMD used to establish the 10,000 MTCO2e threshold is not
applicable to the Project; and
• the City does not provide substantial evidence supporting the Threshold in the DEIR.

10211 Sunland Blvd., Shadow Hills, CA 91040 (818) 650-0030 X101 dw@aenv.org
The SCAQMD has no authority to set CEQA thresholds for other agencies
The DEIR assumes, without explanation, that the Threshold is applicable to the Project. But
SCAQMD’s enabling statute (Health & Safety Code §§ 40400-40540) does not provide legal
authority to the agency to issue CEQA regulations or thresholds for other agencies.
The CEQA Guidelines § 15064.7(b) encourages each agency to develop thresholds of
significance for itself to use but provides no authority for the SCAQMD to develop CEQA thresholds
for other agencies to use. The Board Letter for the December 5, 2008 SCAQMD Board meeting,3
drafted by SCAQMD staff but not adopted by the Board, proposes a 10,000 MTCO2e threshold
which is applicable only to industrial projects where the SCAQMD is the lead agency under CEQA.
(Board Letter, p. 5.) Thus, the creation of this threshold was intended for projects where the
SCAQMD is the lead agency.
The SCAQMD does not have the authority to prescribe significance thresholds for which it is
not the lead agency. Lead agencies may choose their own significance thresholds, but they must be
supported by substantial evidence, which means “facts, reasonable assumptions predicated on facts,
and expert opinion supported by facts.” (14 CCR § 15064.7(b).) The burden is on the City to provide
substantial evidence for the chosen threshold for the Project, not merely adopting a recommendation.
The City cannot rely on the SCAQMD’s evidence supporting the threshold because the evidence that
the SCAQMD used is not only insufficient to provide substantial evidence but also does not apply to
this Project.
Furthermore, it makes no sense for different thresholds to apply in the various air districts;
global warming is a global phenomenon, and a ton of GHGs emitted in Los Angeles has the same
impact as a ton emitted in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Other districts have adopted much lower
thresholds, such as the 1,100 MTCO2e threshold recommended by the Sacramento Metro Air
Quality Management District,4 or the County of San Bernardino’s 3,000 MTCO2e per year screening
level.5 The DEIR did not explain why the Threshold is more appropriate for the Project than these
lower thresholds adopted by other air districts.
The SCAQMD’s rationale for the threshold is not valid for this Project
The SCAQMD’s rationale for adopting its 10,000 MTCO2e numerical threshold does not
apply to this Project. The SCAQMD’s recommendation is based on the rationale that it would reduce

90% of emissions from projects for which the SCAQMD is the lead agency. To arrive at the
threshold, SCAQMD reviewed the natural-gas consumption for projects it permitted in 2006 and
2007, assuming the vast majority of emissions came from burning natural gas. These tend to be heavy
industrial projects such as manufacturers of cement and steel. The SCAQMD is not a lead agency for
land use projects generally, which include “shopping malls, housing tracts, commercial or industrial
parks, sports stadiums, etc.”6
The kinds of projects for which the SCAQMD is the lead agency are different from commercial
or warehousing projects, which are typically much smaller. The vast majority of GHG emissions from
warehouse projects come from mobile emissions, not the burning of natural gas, as is the case for this
Project. While reducing emissions to below 10,000 MTCO2e might achieve 90% emissions
reductions for large industrial projects for which the SCAQMD is the lead agency, the mix of land-use
projects in general, and warehouse projects in particular is very different from the mix of projects the
SCAQMD analyzed. There is no support that a 10,000 MTCO2e threshold would capture 90% of
GHG emissions for projects of this size, scope, and use.
The City failed to support its chosen threshold with substantial evidence
CEQA requires the City to support its choice of threshold with substantial evidence. The City
has information available to determine an applicable significance threshold and support it with
substantial evidence given the current regulatory setting and project features. Instead of doing so, the
City improperly relied on an inapplicable threshold that does not conform to California’s most recent
climate goals.
CEQA requires that significance determinations are based on current regulations, as well as
scientific and factual data. (CEQA Guidelines §§ 15064.4(b).) Thresholds that are not aligned with
California’s current reduction goals are outdated under CEQA. The chosen threshold of 10,000
MTCO2e adopted by the SCAQMD does not address Senate Bill 32 (SB 32).
The implementation of SB 32 is carried out by the California Air Resources Board’s 2017
Climate Change Scoping Plan (2017 Scoping Plan), which reflects SB 32’s GHG emissions
reduction goal of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. To assess statewide implementation of this goal, the
2017 Scoping Plan created a per-capita target of 6 MTCO2e by 2030 (2017 Scoping Plan, p. 99.)

10211 Sunland Blvd., Shadow Hills, CA 91040 (818) 650-0030 X101 dw@aenv.org
Here, even after implementation of the mitigation measure, the Project’s emissions would be
approximately 6.63 MTCO2e per service population,7 exceeding the target necessary to achieve SB
32’s goal as reflected in the CARB 2017 Scoping Plan.
Only two of California’s air districts (Bay Area and Sacramento) have created thresholds which
address SB 32’s reduction goal of GHG emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. 8 All the other
thresholds adopted by air quality management districts, including the 10,000 MTCO2e threshold
recommended for industrial projects by the SCAQMD, are not consistent with current environmental
policy in California. Consequently, the SCAQMD guidelines are not aligned with California’s current
regulatory scheme and therefore the 10,000 MTCO2e numerical threshold is an outdated threshold
not supported by substantial evidence.
Further, the Threshold is invalid because it is not aligned with the most recent goals of the
California Air Resources Board (CARB). CARB developed the 2022 Scoping Plan, which emphasizes
that “any delays in action or insufficient action are a threat to public health and the environment.”
(2022 Scoping Plan, p. 22.) It also specifies that all of the actions in the 2022 Scoping Plan are
necessary to achieve climate goals. (2022 Scoping Plan, p. 11.) Accordingly, if the Project inhibits any
of the specified actions in the 2022 Scoping Plan from being carried out without delay, then it will be
inconsistent with the 2022 Scoping Plan. A numeric threshold, particularly one as large as 10,000
MTCO2e, does not require that any certain measures are achieved. Therefore, staying under the
threshold would not mean that the Project would necessarily adhere to the measures in the 2022
Scoping Plan in a timely manner.
Consistency with Identified Applicable Plans
The City chose to analyze, as one of its adopted significance thresholds, whether the Project
would “[c]onflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of GHGs.” (DEIR, p. 4.8-21.) The DEIR included a discussion of the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) 2022 Scoping Plan, Title 24 BEES and CalGreen Code, CARB’s
Sustainable Freight Action Plan, Connect SoCal 2024, and the Rancho Cucamonga Climate Action
Plan (CAP), to support its determination that the Project would not conflict with an applicable plan,
policy, or regulation for GHG emissions reductions. This significance analysis violates CEQA by
erroneously overlooking the Project’s conflict with the 2022 Scoping Plan, and particulary in relation
to the cogeneration system.

Cogeneration system conflicts with the 2022 Scoping Plan.
The Project would involve expanding an existing beverage distribution facility, which the City
incorrectly claims would not conflict with the 2022 Scoping Plan. The 2022 Scoping Plan establishes
a sector-by-sector roadmap for California to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 or earlier through an
aggressive approach to decarbonize every sector of the economy.9 (2022 CARB Scoping Plan executive
summary, p. 1) The plan recognizes that buildings, including commercial ones, must transition away
from reliance on fossil fuels and should predominantly rely on advancing energy efficiency while
replacing gas with non-combustion alternatives so commercial buildings do not require ongoing
maintenance for gas delivery. (2022 CARB Scoping Plan, p. 212.)
However, this Project includes a cogeneration system that “would reduce the quantity of natural
gas required by the boilers for water-heating and beverage-production purposes.” (DEIR, p. 2-1, 3-
47.) Though framed as an efficiency measure that reduces natural gas consumption in the boilers, the
system itself operates through the combustion of natural gas. (DEIR, p. 4.3-38.) In effect, the system
substitutes one source of fossil fuel combustion for another, introducing new long-term combustion
infrastructure while claiming a reduction in GHG emissions. This justification conflicts with the 2022
Scoping Plans’ objectives to transition facilities away from fossil fuels altogether.
While the 2022 Scoping Plan recognizes that some industrial processes may currently face cost
or feasibility barriers to full electrification, it nonetheless establishes a clear long-term objective to
decarbonize industrial facilities by “displacing fossil fuel use with a mix of electrification, solar thermal
heat, biomethane, low- or zero-carbon hydrogen, and other low-carbon fuels to provide energy for
heat and reduce combustion emissions.” (2022 CARB Scoping Plan, p. 207.) Understanding that
“there is a continuing demand for fossil gas due to lack of non-combustion technologically feasible or
cost-effective alternatives for certain industrial sectors.” (2022 CARB Scoping Plan, p. 207.) The
Project is not consistent with this goal, based on the analysis provided in the DEIR. Its reliance on
fossil fuels through the use of cogeneration systems that include natural gas combustion alongside
boilers creates a direct conflict. (DEIR, p. 4.6-31.) Although the 2022 Scoping Plan understands there
may be a continuing demand for fossil fuels in certain sectors, it does not treat the use of natural gas
combustion as a preferred or encouraged energy source, nor does it treat the Project sectors as one that
requires fossil fuels.
The 2022 Scoping Plan emphasizes that “electrification and solar thermal heat are best-suited
to industrial processes that have relatively low heat requirements, such as food processors, paper mills,
and industries that use low-pressure steam in their processes,” and identifies approaches such as
replacing fossil gas boilers with electric boilers and using industrial electric heat pumps (2022 CARB

Scoping Plan, p. 208). A beverage manufacturing facility falls within this category of industrial
processes for which electrification is feasible.
In contrast, the Scoping Plan limits continued onsite combustion to “industrial processes that
require higher-temperature heat,” such as steel forging, glass manufacturing, and cement production
industries with technological barriers to electrification (2022 CARB Scoping Plan, p. 208.) The
DEIR’s implication that cogeneration is appropriate because of general “cost barriers” misconstrues
this distinction. (DEIR Admin Draft, p. 2-137.) Those barriers do not justify new fossil fuel
combustion at facilities that are otherwise well-suited for electrification. By proposing a new natural
gas combusting cogeneration system at a beverage facility, the Project would perpetuate fossil fuel
dependence in a sector the Scoping Plan identifies as capable of transitioning to clean energy, thereby
conflicting with the Plan’s decarbonization framework and long-term goals.
Consequently, because the Project is inconsistent with applicable plans for the reduction of
GHGs, it is significant under the second threshold. The City’s determination that the Project would
have a less-than-significant impact as to the second GHG threshold is not supported by substantial
evidence.
Conclusion
The Project would have a significant GHG impact under the chosen threshold of consistency
with applicable plans because the Project is not consistent with the applicable plans, policies, and
regulations for the reduction of GHGs. Please put Advocates for the Environment on the list of
interested parties to receive updates about the progress of this potential project approval. We make

Memorandum
To: Sean McPherson, Principal Planner, City of Rancho Cucamonga
CC: Kent Norton, MIG
From: Kasey Kitowski, MIG and Chris Dugan, ESA
Re: Response to Advocates for the Environment’s October 2025 Comments on Draft
Environmental Impact Report for El Camino Project, SCH No. 2023080369
Date: November 4, 2025
MIG, Inc. has prepared this memorandum to respond to the comments submitted by
Advocates for the Environment on October 28, 2025, regarding the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the El Camino Project (Project).
Response to CEQA Comments
Comment 1: The DEIR’s GHG Analysis Violates CEQA
The commenter provides an accurate summary of the EIR and unsubstantiated claims that
the EIR’s conclusion of signiflcant and unavoidable GHG impacts was incorrect. In
addition, the commenter generally claims that EIR did not incorporate all feasible
mitigation measures and that there are other feasible mitigation measure the City should
considered to reduce the Project’s GHG emissions; however, the commenter does not
provide any speciflc mitigation suggestion or recommendation for the City to consider. In
contrast, as described in the DEIR, the Project includes design features and the DEIR
incorporates mitigation to address GHG emissions from nearly all of the Project’s GHG
emissions sources, including construction GHG emissions, building envelope and systems
GHG emissions, appliance GHG emissions, passenger vehicle and truck trip emissions,
and commercial and industrial yard equipment GHG emissions. The FEIR also evaluated
and explained its conclusions on the feasibility of additional measures recommended by
Advocates for the Environment in its flrst comment letter, as well as measures
recommended by the Soil/Water/Air Protection Enterprise (SWAPE), and the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The EIR incorporated all feasible mitigation
measures.
Comment 2: The City’s GHG analysis improperly relied upon SCAQMD’s
recommendation
11-05-2025 - Regular City Council Meeting - Response to Correspondence Received - Item G1
MIG, Inc. November 2025
The commenter incorrectly claims that the City failed to support why the SCAQMD 10,000
MT CO2e/year threshold was appropriate for the Project. Refer to the “Discussion of
Potential GHG Emissions Thresholds of Signiflcance” under Section 4.8.3 of the DEIR for a
detailed analysis and justiflcation on the use of this threshold to evaluate the Project’s
GHG emissions impacts.
Comment 3: The SCAQMD has no authority to set CEQA thresholds for other agencies
The commenter incorrectly implies that the SCAQMD set the CEQA threshold or issued
some other CEQA regulation for the proposed Project. As discussed in Section 4.8.3 of the
EIR, the City reviewed potential GHG thresholds and selected the 10,000 MT CO 2e/year
threshold as the most appropriate for the proposed Project. It is permissible under CEQA
for a lead agency to choose a threshold formulated by a local air district. In fact, Appendix
G of the 2025 CEQA Guidelines states (page 363, “Where available, the signiflcance criteria
established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control
district may be relied upon to make the following determinations”).
The commenter also suggests additional thresholds for consideration that were not
discussed in the DEIR. The City has reviewed these thresholds and determined they are not
appropriate for the Project. The SCAQMD’s 10,000 MTCO2e threshold would instead be
used for the Project because it is a stationary source project. The commenter referenced
the Sacramento Metro Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) as having a lower
threshold of 1,100 MTCO2e. However, in the document referenced by the commenter, the
SMAQMD recommends this 1,100 MTCO2e as a construction and land use operational
threshold, but has a 10,000 MTCO2e stationary sources operational threshold (page 1).
Additionally, as mentioned by the commenter, the San Bernardino County threshold of
3,000 MTCO2e per year is a screening threshold. It was developed based speciflcally on the
San Bernardino County GHG Emissions Reduction Plan , so that small projects that do not
exceed the screening threshold could be considered consistent with the plan (County of
San Bernardino page 1). This threshold is not applicable to the proposed Project. The GHG
reduction plan applicable to the Project, the Rancho Cucamonga CAP, is not eligible to
streamline the analysis for the proposed Project, as explained in Section 4.8.3 . After
reviewing the information provided by the commenter, the City affirms that the 10,000
MTCO2e threshold used in the DEIR is the appropriate threshold that is supported by
substantial evidence.
Comment 4: The SCAQMD’s rationale for the threshold is not valid for this Project
The commenter claims that the SCAMQD’s threshold does not apply to the proposed
Project. The commenter notes that the SCAQMD arrived at the threshold by reviewing
MIG, Inc. November 2025
natural gas consumption for permitted projects, and clarifles that the SCAQMD is not the
lead agency for land uses including shopping malls, housing tracts, commercial or
industrial parks, sports stadiums, etc. The proposed Project is not any of these land use
types. The proposed Project is a beverage manufacturing facility that includes stationary
sources that would combust natural gas. The commenter also claims that the SCAQMD’s
recommendation is based on reducing 90% of emissions from projects. As a poin t of
clariflcation, as discussed in the SCAQMD’s Draft Guidance Document-Interim CEQA
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Signiflcance Threshold, the 90% emission capture rate refers to
capturing 90% of total emissions from all new or modifled stationary source projects, and
not reducing 90% of emissions from projects. The EIR evaluated issues of threshold
applicability in Section 4.8.3 and concluded that the 10,000 MTCO2e threshold was
appropriate for the proposed Project. Finally, the SCAQMD submitted detailed a detailed
comment letter, and did not comment with any issues on the applicability of the threshold
they developed.
Comment 5: The City failed to support its chosen threshold with substantial evidence
The commenter claims that the EIR uses a GHG threshold that does not align with current
climate goals, and that a numeric threshold does not guarantee that all actions under the
Scoping Plan would be achieved.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064 establishes that the determination of the signiflcance of a
project’s GHG emissions requires careful judgement and a good-faith effort to describe or
estimate the amount of GHG emissions resulting from a project. A lead agency may
prepare a quantitative or a qualitative analysis of GHG emissions; however, the analysis
should focus on a project’s reasonably foreseeable change in GHG emissions, for an
appropriate timeframe, and with consideration of evolving scientiflc knowledge and state
regulatory schemes. When determining the signiflcance of a project’s GHG emissions
impact, a lead agency should consider factors such as, but not limited to, the potential
increase or decrease in GHG emissions compared to a project’s existing env ironmental
setting, whether a project’s GHG emissions exceed threshold of signiflcance determined to
apply, and the extent to which a project complies with regulations or requirements in an
adopted statewide, regional, or local plan for reducing or mitigating GHG emissions,
provided such requirements were adopted in a public review process and reduce or
mitigate a project’s incremental GHG emissions contribution to cumulative climate change
effects. The City is not required to establish a threshold for GHG emissions impacts based
on the actions in the Scoping Plan. However, an evaluation of consistency with the Scoping
Plan is still provided in the EIR, under the Applicable GHG Plans, Policies, and Regulations
discussion in Section 4.8.5. The analysis concluded that the Project would not confiict with
MIG, Inc. November 2025
plans and policies such as the Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (BEES) and
CalGreen Code, the Sustainable Freight Action Plan, and the 2022 Climate Change
Scoping Plan
Comment 6: Consistency with Identifled Applicable Plans
The commenter accurately stated that the DEIR included a discussion of CARB’s 2022
Scoping Plan, Title 24 BEES and CalGreen Code, CARB’s Sustainable Freight Action Plan,
Connect SoCal 2024, and the Rancho Cucamonga Climate Action Plan (CAP) to support its
determination that the Project would not confiict with an applicable plan, policy, or
regulation for GHG emissions reductions. The commenter then incorrectly claims that the
proposed Project confiicts with the 2022 Scoping Plan. Refer to Section 4.8.5 of the EIR for
a detailed evaluation of the Project’s consistency with the 2022 Scoping Plan.
Cogeneration System Confiicts with the 2022 Scoping Plan
The commenter expresses disagreement with the EIR’s conclusion that the proposed
Project would not confiict with the 2022 Scoping Plan. However, this disagreement does
not constitute substantial evidence that the DEIR’s analysis is erroneous or deflcient, nor
does it constitute evidence that the Project would, in fact, have a substantial confiict with
an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purposes of reducing GHG
emissions.
The commenter provides a misleading introduction of the Scoping Plan by providing a
quote from the Executive Summary that the Scoping Plan would achieve carbon neutrality
by decarbonizing every sector of the economy without context. Earlier in the Executive
Summary, the Scoping Plan announces its target of reducing anthropogenic emissions to
85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045 (page 1). The Scoping Plan would not achieve carbon
neutrality in every sector; instead it would reduce but not eliminate carbon em issions while
carbon sequestration from natural and working lands and carbon removal technology
would address remaining emissions. As the commenter notes, the Scoping Plan recognizes
some industrial processes may currently face cost or feasibility barriers to full
electriflcation (page 207).
Furthermore, as analyzed in the EIR, there would be GHG beneflts from the cogeneration
system. The cogeneration system would substantially reduce building energy GHG
emissions (from approximately 7,663 MTCO2e per year in Phase 1 to 4,504 MTCO2e per
year in Phase 2). Additionally, the cogeneration’s CO2 recovery system would capture and
purify CO2 generated by the combustion of natural gas in the cogeneration system, creating
beverage-grade CO2 for Project use, which could recover approximately 9,362 metric tons
and 11,364 metric tons of CO2 per year. The CO2 recovery system would also prevent the
MIG, Inc. November 2025
need for between 702 and 852 annual heavy -heavy-duty truck trips that would otherwise
need to deliver beverage-grade CO 2 to the Project site, generating CO2 emissions from truck
trips. The proposed Project also works towards carbon neutral electriflcation by including
solar PV generation and a battery energy storage system, all-electric yard handing
equipment, EV charging, and a portion of electric heavy-duty trucks. Thus, the Project
would include strategies to electrify manufacturing processes well ahead of the timeline
considered by the 2022 Scoping Pan.
Finally, CARB, the agency authorized by the legislature to prepare the Scoping Plan
(Scoping Plan page 23), provided a detailed comment letter for the proposed Project, and
did not comment that there were any fiaws in the analysis of the Project’s consistency with
CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan.

highest standards of craftsmanship and safety, but also reinvest in the community by
supporting local families and the regional workforce.
We also support the project because it’s design and operational plans demonstrate a
thoughtful approach to environmental stewardship, traffic management, and compatibility
with surrounding land uses.
Therefore, I respectfully urge the City Council to approve this project and allow it to move
forward. Rancho Cucamonga will benefit from the quality jobs, economic investment, and
community stability this union-built facility will bring.
Thank you for your consideration of this important project.
Very truly yours,

Dear Honorable Mayor L. Dennis Michael and Honorable Members of the City Council,
Iron Workers Local 416 proudly supports the El Camino Project. We supported the project at the
Planning Commission and continue to do so in the firm belief that it is a great project for Rancho
Cucamonga.
The modernization of this manufacturing and distribution site means union careers with family-
sustaining wages, healthcare, and pensions. These are benefits that ripple through local small businesses,
schools, and neighborhoods. In addition, by utilizing contractors who employ apprentices from state-
approved programs, the project will train the next generation of craftworkers in a true earn-while-you-
learn model.
The El Camino Project is precisely the kind of private-sector investment cities strive to attract: it is
transformative, it is accountable to labor standards, and it builds long-term capacity for regional
prosperity.
We respectfully urge your approval.
Sincerely,
Frankie Jimenez

potential while promoting inclusion throughout the region.
As Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling looks to expand its local facility in Rancho Cucamonga, we recognize the
potential for this growth to further strengthen their community engagement. An expanded presence
could enhance their ability to provide even greater support to organizations like ours—through increased
product donations, volunteer participation, and logistical support that directly benefits athletes and
programs across the Inland Empire.
We are deeply grateful for Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling’s continued commitment to community service,
volunteerism, and partnership. Their dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others
reflects the very best of corporate citizenship.
