MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0229-121-35.
A. Recitals.
1. Jack Burdette on behalf of Tamco Steel filed an application for the issuance of
Conditional Use Permit DRC2008-00512, 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 14th day of January 2009, 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 January 14, 2009, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located at 12459-B Arrow Route on the
south side of Arrow Route between the 1-15 Freeway and Etiwanda Boulevard with a street frontage
of approximately 345 feet and an average lot depth of 1,210 feet and which is presently improved
with 98,032 square feet of manufacturing space, 22,009 square feet of office space, and
70,049 square feet of warehousing space; and
b. The properties surrounding the site are all within Subarea 15, the Heavy Industrial
(HI) District of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The parcels on the north side of Arrow Route are
within Subarea 8, the General Industrial Development District of the Industrial Area Specific Plan.
The properties in both subareas contain large parcels with industrial uses; and

C. 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. The new bag house will meet the South Coast Air Quality
Management standards and be monitored by them to assure that the emission limits are not
exceeded; and
d. The project design meets or exceeds the Development Code development
standards for setbacks, lot coverage, and building heights with this application. The Heavy
Industrial Development District allows massive outdoor structures in an unscreened manner. This
project has proposed a row of trees on the south and west property lines to screen or mitigate the
visual impact of the large buildings from the 1-15 Freeway and the surrounding properties; and
e. The design and exterior materials of the new buildings match the existing materials
of corrugated metal for the bag house filter building and painted CMU block for the substation. The
designs also match the old buildings, and these old building will be revitalized by painting and
repairing them, 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,togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence thatthe 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, 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 09-01
DRC2008-00512 —TAMCO STEEL (JACK BURDETTE)

Page 3
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. 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.

monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of
the area.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of
approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant,
important, and unique prehistoric resources, following

encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e.,
paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited
to, the following measures:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 09-01

• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery,
the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and
notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San
Bernardino County Museum.

the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Environmental Assessment and Conditional Use Permit DRC2008-00512
Public Review Period Closes: January 14, 2009
Project Name: Project Applicant: Tamco Steel - Jack Burdette
Project Location (also see attached map): Located at 12459-B Arrow Route -
APN: 0229-121-35.
Project Description: A request to demolish and replace two industrial buildings: First, a
6,500 square foot bag house air filtering system will be demolished and replaced with a
16,781 square foot bag house air filtering system. Second, an 11,778 square foot electrical
substation building will be demolished to allow for the construction of a 21,840 square foot electrical
substation building. This will allow for an increase of production at the existing TAMCO Steel Plant
on approximately 80 acres of land in Subarea 15 of the Industrial Specific Plan in the Heavy
Industrial (HI) Development District.
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency,has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
