d. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17426 does not affect the Master
Plan site layout, the plotting of the buildings, the distribution or number of parking stalls for each
building, or the architecture of the buildings; and
e. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant;the property to the southwest
is a warehouse distribution center; the property to the west is vacant; the property to the south is
improved with an industrial warehouse building; and the properties to the east are improved with a
commercial center; and
f. The subdivision,together with the recommended Conditions of Approval, meets the
development standards for the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts setforth in paragraphs 1 and
2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17426 is consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17426 is consistent
with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17426 is not likely to cause serious public health
problems; and
f. The design of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM17426 will not conflict with any
easement acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property
within the proposed subdivision.
4. The Planning Commission previously approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration on
April 28, 1999,forthe 140-acre Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan, of which this site
is a part. Furthermore, the Planning Commission previously issued a Negative Declaration for the
update of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan and Parcel Map SUBTPM15630 on
February 13, 2005, of which this site is a part. There have been no substantial changes in the area
to warrant further environmental review. The California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)provides
that once a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been adopted, no further environmental review is
required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The
proposed development is within the scope of the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration and Negative
Declaration, as the site was always planned for development with a development of this type and the
size and scope have not changed. Accordingly, no further environmental review is necessary.
Based upon the facts and information contained in the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Negative Declaration, together with written and oral staff reports, the Planning Commission finds
that there are no substantial changes in the project or the site and its surrounding conditions that
would require revision to the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration or Negative Declaration. All
