A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW DRC2004-01019, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 76,019 SQUARE
FOOT WORSHIP CENTER AND A 101 STALL PARKING STRUCTURE ON
8.86 ACRES OF LAND IN THE VERY LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT(.1 to
2 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE), LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF HAVEN AVENUE AND VISTA GROVE STREET; AND
MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF—APN: 1074-271-01.
A. Recitals.
1. Hillside Community Church filed an application for approval of DRC2004-01019, as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development
Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 27th day of July 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga held a meeting to consider the application.
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 meeting on July 27,2005, including written and oral staff reports,this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the development of a sanctuary building totaling 76,019
square feet and a 101 stall, bi-level parking structure on 8.86 acres of land located at the southwest
corner of Haven Avenue and Vista Grove Street; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is developed with single-family dwelling
units, the property to the south is developed with future single-family dwelling units, the property to
the east, across Haven Avenue, is developed with a single-family dwelling units, and the property to
the west is developed with single-family dwelling units; and
C. The church site was originally approved under Conditional Use Permit 82-29 on
February 9, 1983. On September 28, 1988, Conditional Use Permit 88-10, which was identical to
Conditional Use Permit 82-29, with the exception of the architectural design of the sanctuary, was
approved along with a Master Plan and the issuance of a Negative Declaration of environmental
impacts. Conditional Use Permit 88-10 also included the master plan for the church. In 1994, the
church completed its first permanent building, the Family Center, which is a multi-purpose building
that is presently used for worship services; and

d. The applicant is proposing to construct a 76,019 square foot worship center,which
includes administrative offices, classrooms, and a 13,125 square foot sanctuary. The proposed
sanctuary is in substantial compliance with the approved master plan (Conditional Use Permit
88-10). The proposed 1,400-seat sanctuary is actually smaller than the 1,500-seat sanctuary that
was originally approved. The current proposal, as all previously approved proposals, includes the
use of the lower (south) ball field for parking. This ball field was constructed and compacted to
accommodate vehicles. The two portable buildings that function as Sunday school classrooms will
be removed with the construction of the new sanctuary. Also proposed is a bi-level parking structure
that will provide 101 parking stalls. The parking structure has been designed to maximize the use of
the grades on the site, with the first level being underground and built into an existing slope. The
second level will take access from the north parking lot. The parking structure has been designed to
blend with the proposed sanctuary and the existing Family Center buildings, utilizing a river rock
base on the south and west elevations. Landscape slopes buttressed by a keystone retaining wall
surround the three exposed sides (west, south, and east elevations) of the parking structure.
e. The applicant conducted four neighborhood meetings to inform the surrounding
neighborhood residents of the proposed project and to obtain their feedback. Residents from the
surrounding area attended the meetings and provided design suggestions that improved the
project and minimized the impact of the sanctuary building. As result of the neighborhood meetings,
the applicant made changes to the sanctuary height, building pad elevation,and modified the project
to include a bi-level parking structure and the installation of the 6-foot high sound wall at the south
property line; and
f. The sanctuary will have a seating capacity of 1,400 persons. In 1988, Conditional
Use Permit 88-10 was approved, which included a master plan for a 1,500-person sanctuary in the
same location as the 1,400-person sanctuary; and
g. The project, together with the recommended conditions of approval,complies with
all minimum development standards for the City of Rancho Cucamonga; and
h. The project requires 375 parking stalls, per the requirements of the Development
for churches. The project has been design with 392 paved stalls, 155 ball field stalls,and a satellite
parking lot at Chaffey College with shuttle services to the church that provides an additional 400
stalls. The total amount of parking stalls available on-site is 547. In addition,the church has a lease
with Chaffey College to use their parking lots, via shuttle service, for an additional parking capacity
of 400 spaces. The overall amount of parking stalls available (on-site plus satellite lot at Chaffey
College) is 947 stalls; and
i. A photometric study was completed to ensure that the upper level of the parking
structure and the expansion of the existing parking lot would not cause glare on the single-family
dwelling units located west and south of the church property. The parking structure is located 60
feet east of the west property line that separates the church and the single-family residences. The
parking structure will generate a zero-foot candle illumination at the shared property line, which is
well under the maximum permitted of 5-foot candles. The expansion of the grade level parking lot at
the south property line will result in a maximum of .20-foot candle illumination on the residential
properties south of the parking lot, which is well under the maximum permitted of 5-foot candles;and

j. The project has been designed with reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) that will
function as retention basins in order to ensure that the on-site storm drain system is adequate and
will not exceed the capacity of the existing culvert at the southwest corner of the property; and
k. The project has been designed with a 101-stall, bi-level parking structure that has
been designed to maximize the use of the grades on the site, with the first level being underground
and built into an existing slope, thereby blending into to the existing topography and minimizing the
visual impact; and
I. The sanctuary design has been designed to blend with the existing multi-purpose
building, utilizing rock cobble. Further, the sanctuary has been designed to minimize the visual
impact on the residents to the north by being designed with a depressed pad elevation that requires
13 feet of excavation and a gable roof element that is common in residential neighborhoods.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby
specifically finds and concludes as follows:
a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and
Development Code; and
b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code; and
d. That the proposed design, 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.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration,together with 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 or the 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.
