A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. 99-08, REDUCING THE REQUIRED 5-FOOT INTERIOR REAR
BUILDING SETBACK TO ZERO FEET FOR A NEW INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
ON 2.4 ACRES OF LAND IN THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
(SUBAREA 8) OF THE INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED AT
THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF ARROW ROUTE AND MAPLE PLACE,
AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF- APN: 208-961-11.
A. Recitals.
1. Maple Place Partners filed an application for the issuance of Variance No. 99-08 as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request
is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 27th day of October 1999, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
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 public hearing on October 27, 1999, 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 northeast corner of Arrow Route
and Maple Place with a street frontage of 156 feet on Arrow Route and 623 feet on Maple Place and
is presently vacant and improved with remnant vineyards; and
b. The properties to the north, south, east, and west of the subject site are developed
with industrial buildings; and
c. Provisions of the 5-foot setback would pose a hardship for the property owner as
it would be difficult to properly maintain; and
d. There are unique circumstances applicable to the subject property, in that there is
a large industrial building to the east which would cause the setback area, if provided, to take on an
alley like appearance; and
e. The proposed variance would not constitute granting of a special privilege, as many
other buildings in the area have zero foot rear setbacks; and

f. The proposed variance would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare
in that the setback area, if provided, would not be readily visible from Arrow Route and therefore,
would provide little aesthetic value.
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 strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives
of the Development Code.
b. That 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. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district.
d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district.
e. That the granting of the Variance 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 findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this
Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 27TH DAY OF OCTOBER 1999.
