f. The project, together with the recommended conditions of approval, complies with
all minimum development standards for the City of Rancho Cucamonga; and
g. The project design incorporates a monument sign with enhanced landscape, a
tower element that provides a focal point, the use of two primary materials, a porte-cochere and
decorative pavement, thereby meeting the design goals of the Haven Overlay and Industrial Park
District by providing a high-level of architectural design; and
h. The project will promote land use goals of the Industrial Park District within the
Haven Avenue Overlay District by allowing for a hospitality use to be developed in close proximity to
office, commercial, and food uses that will maximize the economic position of the Haven Avenue
corridor by capturing regional demand for lodging facilities in the vicinity of the 1-10 Freeway and
Ontario International Airport.
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. 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 October 22, 2008, in
connection with the City's approval of the Design Review of a 122-room hotel. 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)
additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures
can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.

b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the design review of the
126-room hotel and the subdivision of the parcel into two lots,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. The new
project is similar in size as the previous approval and the new updated studies have identified only a
minor change to the previous mitigation measures. This change is in accordance with the previous
Mitigation Monitoring Program, but a revision to one of the conditions now requires the site to be
treated with water three times a day instead of once a day to reduce fine Particulate Matter
Emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 during grading operations. Staff further finds that
the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration, not 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. The project is substantially the same as the previous project with the
exception that 4 rooms have been added and a 3,000 square foot office pad has been added and
included in the Addendum analysis. The analysis concludes that the project will not have a
significant increase on traffic or a significant impact on air quality. The updated studies indicate no
new significant effects that were not previously analyzed, and the Addendum to the original
environmental mitigation monitoring program is minor.
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
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Development Review DRC2013-00508 and
adopts an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts that was
adopted by the Planning Commission on October 22, 2008,
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.
