e. The subject property has a street frontage along Jersey Boulevard of about
1,092 feet with an overall depth of about 506 feet; and
f. The properties to the north, south, and west are developed with industrial
warehouse buildings. The property to the east of the existing building is vacant; and
g. The property to the north is zoned General Industrial District(Subarea 8), and the
properties to the south, east, and west are zoned Minimum Impact/Heavy Industrial District
(Subarea 9); and
h. The vacant area of the project site has been disced for weed abatement and,
therefore, vegetation is limited to short grasses. There is landscaping around the existing building
on the developed portion of the project site; and
i. Two points of vehicular access for the new parcels (and the corresponding
buildings)will be provided from Jersey Boulevard. The existing Dow Chemical Company facility has
its own access independent of this project. All points of access fulfill the Fire Department's
standards; and
j. Adjacent, and parallel to, the north and east property lines is a railroad spur; and
k. Consistent with the Rail Service Standards outlined in Section 17.30.040.F of the
Development Code, the entire rear area of Parcel 3 and half of the rear area of Parcel 2 (overall
about 50 feet by 475 feet) will be unencumbered with structures, outdoor storage, or similar uses.
At the rear of Building B, knock-out panels and a finished floor about 5 higher than the adjacent
finished grade have been incorporated into the design.
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:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 06-51
DRC2005-00904— PANATTONI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC
June 14, 2006
Page 3
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that,with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. Pursuant to the requirements of California Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 753.5,the Planning Commission finds,based
on the Initial Study, the Mitigated Negative Declaration,and considering the record as a whole,that
there is no evidence before the City that the proposed project will have the potential for an adverse
effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. The majority of the
project site is vacant(the eastern one-third is developed with a chemical manufacturing facility); it
has been disced for weed abatement; according to a biological study prepared by Ecological
Sciences, Inc., on December 6,2005,the conditions on-site are not consistent with those known or
expected to support extant Delhi Sands flower-loving fly populations in the region; and the
surrounding properties have been developed with industrial buildings and construction of
infrastructure. Based on substantial evidence, the Planning Commission hereby makes a
declaration rebutting the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in California Department of Fish
and Game Regulation 753.5 (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Code, Section 753.5.)
e. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the City Planner of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California
91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.
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.
