RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. DRC2003-00719, FOR A GAS STATION WITH PUMP ISLAND
CANOPY,AND A SINGLE BUILDING CONTAINING A 2,947 SQUARE FOOT
CONVENIENCE STORE AND 2,504 SQUARE FOOT FAST FOOD
RESTAURANT ON 1.48 ACRES OF LAND IN THE VILLAGE COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF DAY CREEK
BOULEVARD AND HIGHLAND AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 1089-121-08 AND 1089-401-66.
A. Recitals.
1. Pacific Globe LLC, filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit
DRC2003-00719, 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. On the 5th day of January 2004, the applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting,
attended by 11 residents, to present the proposed project and obtain community feedback.
3. On the 11th day of February 2004, 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.
4. 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 February 11, 2004, including written and oral staff reports,togetherwith
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the northeast comer of Day Creek
Boulevard and Highland Avenue, with a total street frontage of approximately 893 feet and an
average lot depth of approximately 150 feet, which is presently unimproved; and
b. The property to the north and east of the subject site is the Route 210 Freeway,the
property to the south is developed with single-family homes within the Victoria Community Plan,and
the property to the west has an approved entitlement for a gas station, convenience store and fast
food restaurant; and
C. The application proposes the construction of a gas station, convenience store and
fast food restaurant with a drive-thru lane, a Conditionally Permitted Use within the Victoria
Community Plan; and
d. The proposed building elevations exhibit a high level of architectural design,
incorporating stacked stone, score lines, a tower feature, and decorative pavement; and

e. The proposed project has adequate off-street parking for all proposed uses; and
f. The proposed project has been designed with a pad elevation that is as low as
possible, given the site constraints and engineering tolerances required, in order to minimize the
impacts of the project on the existing single-family residences to the south.
g. The existing grade of the project site sits higher than the adjoining public streets.
The proposed project grading scheme has been designed with a pad elevation of 1445.96. The pad
elevation has been engineered to be as low as possible while still meeting the requirements of
drainage and containment areas as required under Water Quality Management Plan.
h. The project design includes light fixtures designed to confine the area of illumination
to the project site. Under the pump island canopy, lighting will be recessed, and will confine the area
of illumination to the project site. A lighting study was prepared to assess the impact of glare on the
existing single-family residences to the south. According to the light study, all residential lots to the
south will have 0-foot candle illumination from the proposed project.
i. The project will generate a combined total of 200, two-way, peak hour trips for all
three uses(fast food, convenience store and gas station). The amount of two-way trips is less than
1,000, two-way peak hour trips for retail land use; therefore, the project is below the threshold of the
San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) criteria for requiring a traffic impact analysis.
j. The Citys Traffic Engineer determined a localized traffic impact analysis is not
required based upon the trip generation rates. The City's Traffic Engineer has evaluated the project
site and has determined that the proposed project and the traffic counts on Highland Avenue do not
warrant the construction of a median on Highland Avenue east of Day Creek Boulevard. The City's
Traffic Engineer has also evaluated the project design and determined that the proposed project and
the traffic counts on Highland Avenue do not warrant a right tum deceleration lane from the
westbound side of Highland Avenue.
k. The application contemplates a 24-hour operation, 7 days a week. An acoustical
consultant evaluated the site to determine the impacts of the proposed gas station and drive-thru
facility on the existing neighborhood to the south. The acoustical consultant concluded that there
would be no adverse impact to surrounding homes because vehicular traffic noise from the
210 Freeway, Day Creek Boulevard, and Highland Avenue would far exceed any noise generated by
the project. A light study was prepared for the project to assess the impacts of glare on the existing
neighborhood to the south. According to the light study, all residential lots to the south will have
0-foot candle illumination from the proposed project.
I. The application contemplates the sale of alcoholic beverages at the convenience
store. The sale of beer and wine is allowed in the Village Commercial District, subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit, in accordance with the zoning regulations of the Victoria
Community Plan. The proposed Conditional Use Permit application contemplates the sale of beer
and wine only for offsite consumption (Type 20 ABC license). The Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control regulates the distribution of liquor by setting limits on the different types in each
Census Tract. Because of a moratorium on all new licenses within San Bernardino County, a
determination of public convenience will ultimately be required by the City Council, as governed by
the provisions of Section 23958 of the Business and Professional Code. The legislation purposefully
left the term "public convenience or necessity" undefined so that the local legislative body, the City
Council, has the greatest latitude based on local conditions and determinations. The sale of beer
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-22
DRC2003-00719— PACIFIC GLOBE LLC
February 11, 2004
Page 3
and wine for offsite consumption is a common business practice associated with a gas station
convenience store. The project is surrounded by a gas station with convenience market to the west,
and a neighborhood shopping center anchored by a major grocery store that will sell alcoholic
beverages for off-site consumption.
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. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessment for
the application, 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 meeting, 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. 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.

determined by the project planner or responsible City department,to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written
notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached
hereto is not occurring.The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division.The Division shall require the
applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee)with the City. These funds
shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and report
on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
9. In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring
results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether
the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall
