A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING USE
DETERMINATION 99-01, DETERMINING THAT AN ANCILLARY
CARWASH LAND USE IS SIMILAR TO AN AUTO SERVICE STATION
USE AND IS A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE WITHIN THE
FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.
1. Chevron has filed an application for the approval of Use Determination 99-01, as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Use
Determination is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of April 1999, 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 April 28, 1999, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application contemplates classifying auto service stations that contain
ancillary car washing facilities as similar to an auto service station, which is a conditionally
permitted use within the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and
b. The ancillary car washing facility would operate in a manner similar to an auto
service station and would provide a service consistent with those often found at auto service
stations. The applicant proposes to provide a convenience market, vehicle fueling, and car
washing facility; and
c. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan conditionally permits auto service stations
in the Community Commercial, Office, Commercial/Office, and Regional Related Commercial
districts.
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 use in question has similar operational characteristics and intensity to an auto
service station which is a conditionally permitted use in the Community Commercial, Office, and
Regional Related Commercial Districts of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and

b. The use in question meets the purpose and intent of the Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan. The Goals of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan include "to create a dynamic
concourse that is attractive and of high quality with a unifying community design image, reflective
of community heritage and identity, providing an economically viable setting for a balanced mixture
of commercial and residential uses with safe, efficient, circulation and access"(Foothill Boulevard
Specific Plan Page II-4.1). Additionally,"to develop a specific plan which is sensitive to community
land use and fiscal needs" (Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Page 11-4.2). The use is adaptable
to existing commercial developments along the corridor, without compromise of a design image,
and provides a necessary service to further the needs of the community; and
c. The use in question meets and conforms to the applicable goals and objectives
of the General Plan by providing for commercial activities along the heavily auto-dependent
Foothill Boulevard corridor. The use furthers the General Plan land use objectives for commercial
activities by "providing commercial facilities to meet the retail and service needs of the
community."
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby determines the establishment of auto service stations that contain car
washing facilities ancillary to the service station would be consistent with those uses often found
at service stations. Those service stations providing ancillary car washing facilities shall limit the
car washing operation to a maximum of 30 percent of the project floor area, either detached or
attached to the primary facility.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 28TH DAY OF APRIL 1999.
