looking to occupy buildings that contain a primarily open warehouse and storage area with up to
40 percent office area. Building 6 (81,910 square feet), which is located on Parcel 3, is designed
with the intent to accommodate one large industrial user, as 76,775 square feet of this building is
comprised of a single, open warehouse and distribution area. The remaining 5,135 square feet
of the building will be used for office area; and
d. The uses and square footage proposed for this project require a total of
335 parking spaces. The development, when completed, will contain a total of 452 provided
parking spaces. Therefore, the project will be in compliance with the parking regulations set forth
in the Development Code; and
e. The buildings will be comprised of concrete tilt-up walls, portions of which will
incorporate decorative sandblasted wall planes as well as vertical and horizontal 2-inch wide
reveals that span the length of all elevations. The building will also include clear anodized
aluminum mullions that surround the storefront glass windows and doors, all of which are
recessed into the front building elevation. Each building, with the exception of Buildings 1 and 2,
will have metal roll-up doors that will provide access into the warehouse area of each unit; and
f. This project is proposed to be constructed in two phases. The first phase will
involve the installation of all improvements shown within Parcel 3, the landscape strip adjacent to
the 7th Street frontage, and the landscape strip, drive aisle, and drive approach adjacent to the
site's northern property line. Phase two will involve the construction of all remaining
improvements, including Buildings 1 through 5, as well as remaining parking and landscaped
areas. The development, when completed, will also contain a total of 27 percent overall
landscape coverage, decorative paving at each drive entrance and three employee break areas,
all of which meet the requirements and intent of the Development Code.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above referenced 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 is
in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which
the site is located. The applicant proposes a 6-building industrial complex on an existing 13.23-
acre vacant parcel. The underlying General Plan designation is General Industrial and the site is
located within the General Industrial (GI) Zoning District, which allows for the proposed
development; and
b. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposal is to construct, in two (2) phases, six (6) industrial office and
warehouse buildings totaling 171,941 square feet. Phase 1 will contain an 81,910 square foot
building and phase 2 will contain five (5) buildings with a combined total of 90,031 square feet.
The required parking and other applicable development standards will comply with the
Development Code; and
c. 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. The potential land uses that would be associated with this project are
consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the

community. The subject property as well as the properties to the north, south, east, and west are
zoned General Industrial (GI) District.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment
for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference,
based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's
local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental
effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined
that, with the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the
project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of
the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole
record before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the
Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive,
Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.
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.
