A. Recitals. 1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application for Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment DRC2007-00935, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment is referred to as "the application." 2. On March 12, 2008, the Planning Commission approved the initiation of Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment DRC2007-00935. 3. 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. 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 September 24, 2008, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located within the City; and b. The application is in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit DRC2008-00204 to permit the completion of Phase 11 of a master-planned recreational vehicle and self-storage facility on 3.60 acres of land; and C. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment contemplates amending Part 11, Chapter 5, Section 5.24.300 of the Open Space District by adding Section .304 under Conditional Uses, thereby permitting recreational vehicle and boat storage and self-storage facilities as conditionally permitted use, subject to being located on the east side of the Etiwanda and San Sevaine Flood Control Channel and adjacent to the eastbound 1-210 and 1-15 freeway interchange; and; PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-51 DRC2007-00935 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES September 24, 2008 Page 2 d. This Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment, nor on the surrounding properties; conversely, the amendment will allow for recreational vehicle and boat storage and self-storage facilities in the Open Space District within the Etiwanda Specific Plan in a location that is suitable for the storage of personal property because of its immediate adjacency to the 1-15 and 1-210 Freeways; and e. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment will provide the necessary legislative action that will permit the completion of Phase II of a master-planned recreational vehicle and storage facility in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00935. The master plan and Phase I of the recreational and vehicle storage facility was previously approved under Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048 on April 14, 2004, by the Planning Commission at a public hearing; and f. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan by conditionally permitting recreational vehicle and boat storage and self-storage facilities in a location that is appropriate for this type of land use; and g. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment will not have a significant impact on the environment. 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 land 2 above,this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development within the Open Space District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development; and b. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and C. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and d. The subject application is consistent with the objectives the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and e. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt 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 ("CEQX) 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 the 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. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-51 DRC2007-00935 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES September 24, 2008 Page 3 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 recommends that the City Council adopt 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 recommends that the City Council adopt 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.

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development; and b. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Development Code, and; C. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and d. The subject application is consistent with the objectives the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and e. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. 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 City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 08- DRC2007-00935— CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES , 2008 Page 3 a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQX) 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 City Council 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 City Council further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on these findings, the City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration. C. The City Council 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 City Council 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 City Council'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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this City Council hereby approves Etiwanda Specific Plan Text Amendment DRC2007-00935, thereby amending Part II of Chapter 5, Section 5.24 OPEN SPACE DISTRICTS, as listed below and including the conditions shown below: Addition of the following bold text to Part II of Chapter 5, SECTION 5.24 OPEN SPACE DISTRICTS: .304 Conditional Uses: Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage and Self-Storage Facilities, subject to being located on the east side of the Etiwanda and San Sevaine Flood Control Channel and adjacent to the eastbound 1-210 and 1-15 Freeway Interchange.
