Hogle-Ireland Inc. has filed an application for the approval of Development Review DRC2001-00497 for the development of a 405,940 square foot industrial building on 19.24 acres of land within the General Industrial District. 2. On the 24th day of October 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing on October 24, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located on the west side of Hermosa Avenue, north of 6th Street which was previously approved in June of 2001 for a 398,880 square foot industrial warehouse; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant. The property to the east is Hermosa Avenue and beyond is vacant and industrial development. The property to the west is vacant. The property to the south is vacant and developed with industrial and agricultural uses; and C. The application contemplates the construction of one 405,940 square foot industrial warehouse building which is approximately 7,060 square feet larger than the originally approved project; and d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 01-98 DRC2001-00497 — HOGLE-IRELAND October 24, 2001 Page 2 a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan; and b. The design or improvements of the proposed project is consistent with the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and b. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and C. The design of the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and d. The proposed project is not likely to cause serious public health problems. 4. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted on June 27, 2001, by the Planning Commission for the subject site under the previous proposal for a 398,880 square foot building. The proposed 405,940 square foot building does not require revisions of this previous Mitigated Negative Declaration because there are no new significant environmental impacts involved, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances underwhich the project is undertaken, and no new information of substantial importance to the project has become available. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary. The following statement is a copy of the facts and information that the Planning Commission used for the adoption of said Mitigation Negative Declaration: 'The Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder, that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative Declaration with regard to the application. b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project, which are listed below as Conditions of Approval. C. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c)of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources orthe habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations." 5.
