C. The applicant proposes to construct five tilt-up concrete buildings: four 2-story
buildings (Buildings Al, A2, C, and D) and one 1-story building (Building B). The combined floor
area of all five buildings will be about 141,000 square feet; and
d. The application contemplates home improvement retail stores,
administrative/professional offices, and medical/health offices. These are permitted land uses along
Foothill Boulevard, which is one of the City's primary east-west arterial streets and a significant
commercial corridor, and
e. Although the master plan does not have an adopted architectural guidelines and
materials palette, the Planning Commission has stated that the overall quality of architecture for all
buildings within the master plan should be on par with the Lowes Home Improvement store. The
buildings of this project will have a design quality consistent with this goal.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting 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 uses are in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
b. The proposed uses, 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.
C. The proposed uses comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all
written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessment for the application,the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in April of 1999, in connection
with the City's approval of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan (DRCDR99-11 and
DRCDR99-11 MOD). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental
EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the
same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more
severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances
under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental
impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts
than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce
impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with this Development Review that
substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred
which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The project is comprised of five buildings on five individual parcels as
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 06-107
DRC2006-00365 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES
December 13, 2005
Page 3
originally proposed in the Master Plan. The proposed buildings and land uses are consistent with
the surrounding development and the underlying development district. Staff further finds that the
project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative
Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different
mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-
significant. The proposed development is a mix of commercial and office development consistent
with the originally proposed land uses.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record,the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the Development Review.
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 property is part of
the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan that has been in continuous development
since approximately. This project comprises the build-out of the project site. 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.)
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:
