APN: 0229-263-54 AND 55.
A. Recitals.
1. Lourdes Kreefft filed an application for the issuance of Entertainment Permit
No. DRC2006-00330, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,
the subject Entertainment Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On May 21, 1986, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted
Ordinance No. 290 providing for the regulation of entertainment.
3. On June 28, 2006, 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.
4. 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 June 28, 2006, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to uses within an existing five building industrial
complex of about 64,965 square feet on a parcel of about 4 acres, located on the north side of
Mission Park Drive between Richmond Place and Buffalo Avenue; and
b. The applicant's proposed business is located at, 11650 Mission Park Drive,
Suites 110 and 111, a leased tenant space; and
C. The subject property and all the surrounding properties are zoned General
Industrial District; and
d. The subject property is bounded by industrial buildings to the north and east
and vacant land to the south and west; and
e. The applicant's request is to include recorded and live entertainment, with up to
six musicians, in relation to a proposed dance studio that will also host catered social dances
and banquets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings; and
f. Because of the nature of the business, there is a potential for nuisance
problems such as loud music, loud noise, and loitering. These types of nuisance problems

could adversely impact the adjacent businesses. However, staff believes that if the applicant
conforms to all conditions of approval, the surrounding businesses will not be significantly
impacted.
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. That the conduct of the establishment and the granting of the application would
not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare; and
b. That the premises or establishment is not likely to be operated in an illegal,
improper, or disorderly manner; and
C. That the applicant, or any person associated with him as principal or partner or
in a position or capacity involving partial or total control over the conduct of the business for
which such permit is sought to be issued, has not been convicted in any court of competent
jurisdiction of any offense involving the presentation, exhibition, or performance of any obscene
show of any kind or of a felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude or has not had any
approval, permit, or license issued in conjunction with the sale of alcohol or the provisions of
entertainment revoked within the preceding five years; and
d. That granting the application would not create a public nuisance; and
e. That the applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement
of material fact in the required application.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's
CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301 which covers the permitting and minor alterations of existing private structures
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's
original environmental determination. Because the project only proposes the permitting of a
conditionally permitted use and the approval of an Entertainment Permit, staff finds that there is
no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The
Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and
based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
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 incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) This approval is for an Entertainment Permit allowing both a disc
