EXISTING 27,240 SQUARE FOOT SITE THAT IS APART OF A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED 7.01-ACRE MASTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN THE
INDUSTRIAL PARK DISTRICT (SUBAREA 12), LOCATED AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF 4TH STREET AND PITTSBURGH AVENUE -
APN: 0229-341-20; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.
1. Keystone Restaurant Group filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit
DRC2009-00219, 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 9th day of September 2009, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider 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 9,2009, including written and oral staff reports,together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The site is located at the northwest corner of 4th Street and Pittsburgh Avenue. Itis the
final pad of a master planned development (Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00728), which also
includes a 68,714 square foot hotel and three restaurant/retail buildings totaling 24,729 square feet. The
site has been graded and the perimeter landscaping has been installed; and
b. The project site is within Subarea 12 of the Industrial Park District. The Development
Code specifies that fast food sales are conditionally permitted at the subject location; and
C. The surrounding area is developed with a mix of hotels, restaurants, and general
commercial uses and is all within Subarea 12 of the Industrial Park District. The Ontario Mills Mall is a
regional commercial center that is located to the south of the project across 4th Street in the City of
Ontario; and .
d. The 1,761 square foot restaurant includes a 774 square foot outdoor eating area,two
drive-up vehicle canopies (21 covered parking spaces), and a drive-thru lane; and
e. There will be no indoor seating. Customers will be able to order food by going through
the drive-thru or by ordering at the individual drive-up and walk-up order kiosks. Carhops will bring orders
to both those dining in their vehicles and in the outdoor eating areas; and

f. The restaurant will operate from 6 a.m. to 12 midnight and will have between 35 to
50 total employees; and
g. The proposed use requires a total of 33 parking spaces. With the completion of this
project, the entire master planned site will have a 356 shared parking space, which is the minimum
permitted by the Development Code; and
h. The minimum building setback along 4th Street is 45 feet from the curb face. The
drive-thru window encroaches into the building setback by 4 feet. The street frontage adjacent to the
drive-thru window includes a vehicle right-turn lane. Staff concludes that the applicant's request is
justified because of the vehicle turn out lane and the small size of the building pop-out in which the
drive-thru window is located; and
i. Staff does not foresee any land use or vehicle circulation conflicts between the
applicant's business and the existing tenants in the center. There is adequate parking for all the uses in
the center, and the location of the Sonic restaurant, at the southeast corner of the center, provides a
physical buffer between it and the other tenants. Additionally,the drive-thru lane will provide stacking for
9 vehicles.
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; and
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; and
C. The application,which contemplates operation of the proposed use,complies with each
of the applicable provisions of the Development Code except for the 4-foot building setback deficit along
4th Street for which the applicant has requested a Minor Exception.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written
and oral reports included for the environmental assessment forthe 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 on January 28,2004, in connection
with the City's approval of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16282 and Conditional Use Permit
DRC2003-00728 for the development of the commercial center at the subject location. 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 Conditional Use Permit
DRC2009-00219,that no substantial changes have been made that would effect the conclusions made in
the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original approval took into consideration that the subject
site would be developed with a 7,300 square foot restaurant.'This application proposes a 1,761 square
foot restaurant and 774 square foot outdoor eating area, well within the scope of the original approval.
Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, nor 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. This is true because the original review was premised on the site being
developed with a much larger sit-down restaurant. Additionally, an Air Quality Study was completed for
the project which concluded that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment.
Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with staff's
determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's
consideration of Conditional Use Permit DRC2009-00219.
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 Conditional Use Permit DRC2009-00219.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, the
Planning Commission hereby approves the application, subject to each and every condition set forth
below in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference:
