A. Recitals. 1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application for the approval of Development Review DRC2012-00616, 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 9th day of January 2013, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting 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 January 9, 2013, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at 13670 Victoria Street and is presently improved with a recreational vehicle storage facility under Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048; and b. The property to the north consists of the 210 Freeway;to the south is Future Phase II/Open Land District; the east consists of the 1-15 Freeway; and to the west is the Etiwanda Creek/Sevaine Drain Channel and the Victoria Street Retention Basin; and C. Development Review DRC2012-00616 requests minor site alterations consisting of 12 additional open recreational vehicle parking stalls,the installation of parking canopies to provide covered parking, and solar panels that will be mounted parallel to the roof plane; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.13-01 DRC2012-00616 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES January 9, 2013 Page 2 d. The design of the parking canopies will blend with the existing buildings; and e. The solar panels will be mounted parallel to the roof plane on existing buildings, thereby minimizing any potential impacts from glare; and f. The installation of solar panels will be an environmental benefit, reducing energy consumption by capturing energy from a renewable source, contributing energyto the electrical grid and reducing the consumption of green house gases, all of which are desirable benefits; and g. The installation of parking canopies, solar panels and 12 additional recreational vehicle parking stalls will be of negligible impact on the operational characteristics of the recreational vehicle storage facility as reviewed and approved under Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048; and h. Related case file Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00618 pertains to the request for the modification of Conditional DRC2003-00048 for site plan changes and modifications to the building to permit additional recreational vehicle parking stalls, parking canopies and roof-mounted solar panels. 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; 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; and C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code; 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. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the 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 April 14, 2004, in connection with the City's approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048. 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) PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.13-01 DRC2012-00616 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES January 9, 2013 Page 3 additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts; and b. The Planning Commission finds that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Development Review DRC2012-00616 pertains to the request for the addition of parking canopies, roof-mounted solar panels that are substantially parallel to the roof plane, and 12 open RV parking stalls. The addition of parking canopies and solar panels will not intensify the operational characteristics of the RV parking storage facility or create nuisance impacts, such as intense glare. The solar panels will be oriented to the south and will have a matte finish, thereby mitigating impacts from glare. Additionally, the parking canopies with solar panels will capture enough solar energy to contribute to the electrical grid, thereby capitalizing on a renewable energy source and lessening the impacts to the environment and non-renewable energy resources. Staff also finds that this modification will have a negligible impact on the operational characteristics since the addition of solar panels and 12 open parking stalls will not intensify the operational characteristics(traffic, noise,vibration)of the RV storage facility. 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. Based on the reasons noted above,the addition of covered parking, solar panels, and 12 open stalls does not change the scope in a manner that merits further environmental review; and 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 CECA in connection with the City's consideration of Development Review DRC2012-00616. 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. Planning Department 1) Approval is for Development Review DRC2012-00616, the design review of detailed Site Plan, modifications to Buildings A, H, and J to include roof-mounted solar panels, and covered recreational vehicle parking canopies with roof-mounted solar panels for Phase I for the Victoria RV and Boat Storage Facility at 13670 Victoria Street as originally approved under Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048 and modified under Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00618. 2) The applicant shall adhere to all conditions in Resolution 04-44 for Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00048 and Resolution 13-02 for Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00618. 3) The recreational vehicle parking stalls, covered recreational vehicle parking canopies, and roof-mounted solar panels will be developed and plan checked in accordance with plans on-file in the Planning Department as approved by the Design Review Committee on December 4, 2012 for Development Review DRC2012-00616.
