(ii) On May 22, 1991, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and also issued Resolution No. 91-56 recommending to the City Council that the associated General Plan Amendment No. 91-02B, Subarea 1, be denied.

May 22, 1991 Page 2 (b) The property to the north of the subject site is designated Community Commercial and is vacant. The property to the west is designated Open Space. The property to the east is a designated utility corridor in the County of San Bernardino. The property to the south is designated Low Medium Residential and is vacant. (c) This amendment may conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan and may not provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development; and (d) This amendment may not promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element; and (e) This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties, but land use incompatibilities may result. 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) That the property located in Subarea 1 of the application is not suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district by the site's potential incompatibility with existing and surrounding land uses as evidenced by the site's being bordered on the north by a major arterial road; and (b) That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor on the surrounding properties as evidenced by the findings and conclusions listed in Parts I and II of the Initial Environmental Study but that land use incompatibilities may result, and (c) That the proposed amendment may not be in conformance with the General Plan and the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan due to the potential to establish incompatible land use relationships with single family uses and significant traffic activity. 4. This Commission hereby finds that the project has been reviewed and considered in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 and, further, this Commission does not recommend the issuance of a Negative Declaration because the land use change may not promote the goals and objectives of the General Plan. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby resolves that pursuant to Section 65850 to 65855 of the California Government Code, that on the 22nd day of May 1991, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 91-57 FSP 91-02, SUBAREA 1 - CITY OF R.C.
