A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW DRC2001-00154, TO CONSTRUCT THREE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
BUILDINGS ON 1.46 ACRE OF LAND IN THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL
DISTRICT (SUBAREA 1), LOCATED ON AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER
OF VINEYARD AVENUE AND 8TH STREET-AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF—APN: 0209-013-15.
A. Recitals.
1. Harma Maghakian filed an application for the approval of Development Review
DRC2001-00154, for the development of 3 industrial buildings (Building "A" - 6,274 Square feet,
Building "B" 7,312 Square feet, and Building "C"— 7,222) on 1.46 acres of land within the General
Industrial District. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred
to as "the application."
2. On the 8th day of September 2004, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting 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 September 8, 2004, including written and oral staff reports, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to infill properties located at the northeast comer of
Vineyard Avenue and 8th Street, adjacent to other similar uses; and
b. The application contemplates the construction of three light industrial buildings
(Building A- 6,274 Square feet, Building B - 7,312 Square feet, and Building C- 7,222); and
C. 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.
d. The General Plan Transit Concept Plan designates Vineyard Avenue as an existing
fixed route transit service (i.e., bus) corridor; however, there is insufficient linear frontage distance
between 8th Street and the existing railroad corridor along the north boundary of the proposed
project to accommodate a bus bay.
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 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
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The design of the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage
and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The proposed project is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
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:
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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
