A. Recitals. 1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2008-00204, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 24th day of September 2008,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. 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 public hearing on September 24th, 2008, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a 3.6-acre vacant property located at the southwest corner of the eastbound 1-210 and southbound 1-15 Freeway interchange. Access to the recreational vehicle and self-storage facility will be from an access and maintenance road off Victoria Street; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is Phase I of the master-planned recreational vehicle and self-storage project, previously approved under Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048 on April 14, 2004, by the Planning Commission at a public hearing; and C. The properties to the south and east consist of the 1-15 Freeway;to the west is the Etiwanda Creek/Sevaine Drain Channel and the Victoria Street Retention Basin; and to the north is Phase I of the master-planned recreational facility and the 1-210 and 1-15 Freeway interchange. Therefore, the project site is physically suitable for a recreational storage and personal storage facility and will not negatively impact adjacent uses; and d. The project will provide for off-site storage of personal property in a secure environment in a location that is suitable for storage facilities; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-50 DRC2008-00204 —CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES September 24, 2008 Page 2 e. The project site is physically suitable for a self-storage facility because of its immediate adjacency to the 1-210 and 1-15 Freeways along the east and south property lines, and the Etiwanda Creek/San Sevaine Drainage along the west property lines. Given the immediate proximity of the site to the I- 15 and 1-210 Freeways and exposure to high noise levels that preclude the development of other land uses, the location is logical choice for self-storage; and f. The self-storage facility will be compatible with surrounding area, and will not create any nuisance impacts on the surrounding area because of its location being surrounding by physical features (1-15 and 1-210 Freeways and drainage channel) from the built environment that will function as buffers. Further, a photometric study has been completed in order to demonstrate that illumination will be confined within the project site at or below the allowable foot candle requirements; and g. The architecture of the proposed storage facility will match the architecture of Phase 1, thereby, creating a unified and cohesive design, a goal of the General Plan. 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. The proposed use is 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 use, 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 use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 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. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines,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,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. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-50 DRC2008-00204— CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES September 24, 2008 Page 3 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. 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 Planning Director 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.
