A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA APPROVING A REQUEST FOR THE ISSUANCE OF
A VARIANCE, NO. 86-03, TO ALLOW A REDUCTION OF THE
MINIMUM STREET SETBACK WITHIN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD AND KLUSMAN AVENUE, RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
CALIFORNIA AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF
A. Recitals.
(i ) VINEYARD NATIONAL BANK has filed an application for the
issuance of a Variance, No. 86-03, described above in the title for this
Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject variance request is
referred to as "the application".
(ii) On August 13, 1986, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the subject matter
of the application, and said public hearing was concluded prior to the
adoption of this Resolution.
(iii ) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is 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. This Commission hereby finds and certifies that the project has
been reviewed and considered in compliance with the California Envi rormental
Quality Act of 1970 and further finds and concurs with the Negative
Declaration adopted with respect to this project on August 13, 1986.
3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced August 13, 1986, hearing, including written and
oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby
specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the
northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue, consisting of
approximately 1.44 acres and is currently improved with a office/bank
facility;
b. The properties to the north, south, east, and west of the

c. The application is designed to facilitate the development
of a 14,000 square foot office addition to an existing 4,800 square foot
building on said 1.44 acres of land and has been submitted in conjunction with
a request for the approval of Development Review 86-17 (approved August 13,
1986). Such an action as contemplated, in conjunction with the application,
conforms to the General Plan of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and is a
permitted use within the General Commercial District;
d. The application has been submitted to allow a reduction in
the minimum street setback, contrary to the requirements of Section 17.10.0406
of the Rancho Cucamogna Development Code requiring lots within the General
Commercial District to have a setback of a minimum forty-five (45) feet;
e. The variance as specified in the application will not
contradict the goals or objectives of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan or
Development Code and will not promote a detrimental condition to the persons
or property in the immediate vicinity of the subject site for the reasons as
follows:
(i ) It is the policy of the City of Rancho Cucamonga to
minimize the adverse effects of the development process. The subject site
contains a legal non-conforming structure. The strict requirement of street
setbacks on the subject site would prevent the applicant/owner from developing
the subject property similar to owners or other properties in the same
district without the subject limitations;
(ii ) At the above-referenced August 13, 1986, public hearing,
no public testimony was set forth in opposition to the application.
4. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced August 13, 1986, public hearing, and upon the
specific findings of fact set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3, above, this
Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would result in a practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code;
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the
property, that do not apply generally to other properties in the same
district;
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by
owners of other properties in the same district;
d. The granting of the subject Variance will not constitute a
special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties
classified in the same district; and
e. The granting of the subject Variance will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity.
