A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRCCUP98-08,
LOCATED IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AT 9434
AND 9456 ROBERDS STREET AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF—APN: 0202-091-08, 09 AND 15.
A. Recitals.
1. Sam Iftikhar filed an application for the modification of Conditional Use Permit
DRCCUP98-08, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. Conditional Use Permit 98-08 was originally approved on May 26, 1998, for warehouse
use only within the 14,000 square foot building located at 9456 Roberds Street. The use was limited
to only warehouse because there was not enough parking for a retail use. Retail use requires 42
parking spaces that the site did not have. Subsequently,the owner expanded the operation to retail
use as the 'Baseline Bargain Center."
3. Based on an alternative parking lot layout, the City Planner conducted a Public Hearing
with the owner of Baseline Bargain Center on August 21, 2001. At that time, the applicant was
approved for an expansion of the parking lot to accommodate the retail parking requirements. At
the meeting, the City Planner reviewed and approved a parking lot layout which would provide
adequate parking, landscape, and access to the surrounding area which would support an adequate
retail use with a minimum of 42 parking spaces.
4. On May 9, 2002, the owner spoke with staff regarding a new parking lot layout. At the
time,the applicant considered alternative layouts to the original 42 required spaces. The owner and
their engineer were both told at a meeting with staff that the original approval for the parking area
did not include any exterior changes to the building at 9456 Roberds Street; hence, a new
application would be required.
5. On May 16, 2002, a stop work order was placed on the property by the Building and
Safety Division for exterior construction without permits for the building.
6. On December 12,2002, the applicant submitted the new layout for parking,and included
the adjoining property to the southwest. The building on the property containing Hair Safari and
Enright Plumbing is proposed to be demolished to provide parking. The applicant has also
purchased the adjoining property to the northeast of the site(vacant)for a small office/retail building
and required parking. The parking for both buildings is divided and will provide 22 spaces on the
southwest parcel and 27 spaces on the northeast parcel. The new entryway for the building will be
located in the center of the main building facing Roberds Street. The entrance will incorporate a
formal entry and columns.
7. On the 25th day of June 2003, 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.
8. 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 June 2003, including written and oral staff reports,together with public
testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at 9434 and 9456 Roberds Street with a
street frontage of 263.4 feet and lot depth of 206.3 feet and which is presently improved with a
warehouse, retail facility; however, is deficient in parking; and
b. The property, actually three parcels, contains two structures. The first, at 9456
Roberds Street, is a 189-foot by 76-foot single-story structure, with a basement. This building is an
example of packing house architecture in the early 1900s. According to The History of Alta Loma,
California, this building was "a cooperative house south of the tracks west of Amethyst' and is
labeled as "American Fruit Growers Packing House" on a map of the "townsite in the twenties" on
Page 106. A one-story warehouse structure, with a basement, has wooden trusses spanning the
exterior walls to create a warehouse space. The walls are smooth, except for recently added half-
round horizontal band. The roof is curved and constructed in an unknown material. The aluminum
frame double door and two large windows on the southeast elevation are not original. There is little
information available about the second structure which contains Hair Safari and Enright Plumbing,
located at 9434 Roberds Street. Portions of the one-story structure appear to be original, such as
the wood and corrugated metal-sided rear portion adjoining the railroad corridor. Both structures
have been so substantially altered that they do not meet the landmark criteria of the Historic
Preservation Ordinance; however, the structure at 9456 Roberds Street is the last remaining fruit
packing house in Alta Loma.
C. The properties are surrounded by the abandoned railroad corridor to the west
(future Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail), single-family residences and vacant land to the
northeast and east, Roberds Street to the east, and commercial to the south and southeast; and
d. The application contemplates construction of a 1,800 square foot retail building and
the expansion of a parking lot area that will be utilized for the existing Baseline Bargain Center
located at 9456 Roberds Street.
e. The applicant is proposing to provide a parking lot area of 42 spaces,the minimum
for the warehouse use, and 7 spaces for the proposed office space; and
f. The applicant is proposing to demolish the retail building located at 9434 Roberds
Street in order to provide adequate parking; and
g. The application will include exterior modifications to the Baseline Bargain Center
located at 9456 Roberds Street and will provide one formal entryway.

3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
b. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the project identified in this Resolution is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended, and the Guidelines promulgated therunder,pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA
Guidelines.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Division
1) All exterior modifications to 9456 Roberds Street and all other
improvements on the three parcels required by these Planning Division
conditions shall be completed per City standard within 6 months from
the effective date of this approval. Failure to meet this time period will
be grounds for revocation of this Conditional Use Permit. To ensure
that progress is being made, the developer shall submit to the City
Planner on the first of each month, beginning September 1, 2003, an
update on development activity. If at the end of the 6-month period,
said improvements have not been completed, the retail business shall
cease operation until such time that all improvements have been
completed.
2) The facility shall be operated in conformance with the performance
standards as defined in the General Commercial District including, but
not limited to, noise levels.
3) The parking area shall be screened using any combination of berming,
shrubs, and low decorative walls. Screening shall be maintained in
good condition at all times. The use of barbed wire or similar material
is prohibited.
4) Landscaping required for screening of parking along both streets shall
include 15-gallon trees and 5-gallon shrubs to provide dense

6) Any dead or dying landscaping currently on-site shall be replaced.
7) A 6-foot high decorative block wall shall be constructed on the property
line surrounding the single-family residences. The wall design shall be
reviewed and approved by the City Planner.
8) A metal picket fence with decorative pilasters shall be constructed
along the west property line.
9) A cast bronze plaque shall be mounted on the exterior of the 9456
Roberds Street building, next to the public entry door, in a format

American Fruit Growers Packing House
The building is the last remaining fruit packing house in Alta Loma.
This area, which grew up around the Alta Loma railroad station in the
late 1910's and early 1920's was once the site of several large citrus
packing houses. In 1913, the Pacific Electric Railway was extended
northward through Alta Loma to shorten the time from picking the fruit
to get to market. The citrus industry was a vital part of the economy of
the area for 60 years.
10) Because the location of the new 1,800 square foot building is so near
the existing single-family neighborhood, all uses of that building shall
be subject to a Conditional Use Permit. In considering future uses of
this building, hours of operation, signs, lighting, compatibility with the
trail use to the north and the adjacent residential neighborhood must
be addressed.
Engineering Division
It appears that this is a Master Plan for a phased development.
First phase being the demolition of the existing buildings on the southerly

Amethyst Street,for the construction of the expanded parking lot,to meet the
parking requirements for the retail use of the existing Base Line Bargain
Center.
The second phase is a proposed 2,200 square foot retail building on the
parcel adjacent to Amethyst Street, which will share access and utilize a
portion of the proposed expanded parking lot.
1) Phase 1 —Special Conditions of Approval shall be completed prior to
any permit issued by the Building and Safety Division.
