A. Recitals.
1. Charlie Buquet, on behalf of Cal S&S LLC, filed an application for the approval of
Development Review No. DRC2012-00182, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter
in this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 22nd day of August 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a public hearing on the application and concluded said meeting 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 meeting on August 22, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located between Pecan Avenue and
Hickory Avenue on the south side of Arrow Route, with a street frontage of approximately 542 feet
and a lot depth of approximately 280 feet, and is presently an unimproved vacant lot; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site, is undeveloped land used as a pipe
storage yard with Southern California Edison power lines on it and is zoned Low Medium Residential
and Open Space; the property to the south, is developed with a trucking firm and an industrial office
building and is zoned General Industrial (Subarea 8) and; the property to the east across
Pecan Avenue, is developed with a legal, non-conforming single-family residence and is zoned
General Industrial (Subarea 8); and the property to the west, is the Etiwanda Creek, and west of
that is undeveloped vacant land and is zoned General Industrial (Subarea 8); and
C. The project consists of the construction of a sale and leasing facility with a sales lot
and 6,000 square foot two-story, concrete tilt-up office building. The project will be constructed in
phases. The majority of the project will be constructed in Phase One such as most on-site
improvements and the street improvements on Pecan Avenue. In Phase Two, the applicant is
requesting to install the street improvements on Arrow Route, and in Phase Three, construct the
office building; and

d. The project conforms to the basic Development Standards of the Development
Code which requires conformance with the height, setback, and parking regulations of the zoning
district.
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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan by
encouraging uses that are compatible with the surrounding uses and activities that do not have a
negative impact on the surrounding area; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located by providing a mix of landscape and security
fencing to mitigate the impacts of the outdoor operations and still adhering to setback and height
regulations that govern the area where this business will be conducted; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code in that the use requires a Conditional Use Permit to be processed in conjunction
with this Development Review for the construction of the sales and leasing facility within the
Industrial Zoned Districts; and
d. 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 as wrought iron fencing, landscaping, and street improvements have
been proposed to minimize any impacts on the surrounding area.
4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 (In-Fill Development) because the applicant is proposing to construct a building and
parking lot in an area and meets all the criteria for this exemption in the 2012 CEQA Guidelines. In
addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the
environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of
exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of
exemption.
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.
