A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA,.APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT DRC2003-00850, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF
HAVEN AVENUE AND THE EASTBOUND 210-FREEWAY ON-RAMP, IN
THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT;AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF—APN: 1076-331-02 AND 1076-341-01 (A PORTION).
A. Recitals.
1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application on behalf of Aim All Storage for the
issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00850, 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 28th day of April 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.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW,THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved bythe 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 April 28, 2004, 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 the southeast comer of Haven
Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp of the 210-Freeway, with a street frontage of approximately
405 feet along Haven Avenue, and a lot depth of approximately 560 feet,which is presently improved
with curb, gutter and sidewalk along Haven Avenue; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is the 210-Freeway, the property to the
south of the proposed storage facility is proposed to be subdivided by Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16648 into seven lots for single-family detached homes, and the property to the east consists
of existing single-family homes; and
C. The Conditional Use Permit is intended for a public storage facility,which is allowed
in the Low Residential District upon review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit and the findings
noted below (Development Code Section 17.08.030.E.5); and
d. The proposed manager's apartment is subject to noise levels exceeding 65 CNEL
along Haven Avenue, which can be mitigated to acceptable levels as described in the noise study
prepared for the project; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-48
DRC2003-00850—CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES —AIM ALL STORAGE
April 28, 2004
Page 2
e. The proposed project conforms to the standards and regulations of the
Development Code, in terms of building separation and parking as noted in the staff report; and
f. The proposed project and the intended uses, together with all Conditions of
Approval will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project proponents are required to complete all
missing parkway improvements adjacent to the site. The 210-Freeway is a significant generator of
noise that must be mitigated in a residential environment. The proposed public storage facility will
act as a sound buffer between the residences and the roadway noise.
g. The proposed public storage facility is, by nature of the operation, a facility that has
a low activity level, generates little traffic and very little noise, and would therefore provide a buffer
between the 210-Freeway and Haven Avenue and the existing single-family residential
neighborhood, as an alternative to the typical freeway sound wall.
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 and the specific findings of Development Code Section 17.08.030.E.5 as noted:
d. The development of a mini-storage may be considered in residential land use
districts as a means of mitigating land use conflicts outlined in Section 17.08.050.F. of the
Development Code. There are certain locations within the City where residentially zoned properties
are located adjacent to undeveloped parcels of land where this transition between the existing
residential neighborhood and non-residential influences (i.e., high traffic corridors, commercial or
industrial land uses, etc.) is a primary design issue that prevents desirable development, resulting in
such parcels remaining undeveloped or underdeveloped. The mini-storage would be considered in
situations where the facility would act as a mitigational buffer for residential developments impacted
by unchangeable environmental issues, such as traffic, noise, and issues deterrnined by the
Planning Commission.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration,togetherwith all written and oral reports included for the 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:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-48
DRC2003-00850— CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES —AIM ALL STORAGE
April 28, 2004
Page 3
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) 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 the 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. 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.

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 bythe 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
conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or
City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits.
