RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
DRC2014-00530,A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED LOT DEPTH
REQUIREMENT FROM 200 FEET TO 166 FEET FOR PARCEL 1 OF
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19528 RELATED TO A REQUEST TO
SUBDIVIDE A 58,745 SQUARE FOOT PARCEL INTO TWO PARCELS
(SUBTPM19528) FOR A SITE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
BANYAN STREET AND EAST OF EAST AVENUE WITHIN THE VERY
LOW (VL) DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OF THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC
PLAN AT 13351 BANYAN STREET; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF—APN: 0225-191-37.
A. Recitals.
1. Shareef Awad filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2014-00530 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 12th day of November 2014 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 November 12, 2014, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a property located on the south side of Banyan Street
and east of East Avenue within the Very Low (VL) Development District of the Etiwanda Specific
Plan;
b. The project site is an "L" shaped vacant parcel with an overall area of
approximately 58,745 square feet. The site is approximately 166 feet deep(north to south)along the
west property line, approximately 290 feet deep along the east property line and approximately 248
feet wide (east to west);
C. The project site is currently developed with a single-family residence which will
remain on Parcel 1 along with various accessory structures that will be removed with the
development of the new lot;

d. To the east and west are vacant lots within the Very Low(VL) Development District.
To the south is a single-family residence within the Very Low(VL) Development District. To the north
(across Banyan Street), is a school (Summit Intermediate School);
e. The two parcels meet all Etiwanda Specific Plan development standards except
that Parcel 1, which is developed with a single-family residence, does not meet the minimum
200-foot lot depth requirement;
f. The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required 200-foot lot depth for
Parcel 1 because of the odd shape of the lot.
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 in that the applicant would be unable to subdivide the site which is
currently more than twice as large as the minimum lot size requirement of the Etiwanda Specific
Plan.
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 in that the existing odd-shaped parcel makes subdivision impossible
without a reduction in the lot depth requirement for Parcel 1 which is developed with a single-family
residence. Parcel 1 was originally Parcel 2 of Parcel Map#5441 and was approved with a lot depth
that was in conformance with development criteria at the time of subdivision. Through a Lot Line
Adjustment(LLA#263)with a lot to the east,the original parcel (Parcel 2 of PM5441)was increased
in size to its current configuration. The Variance would return proposed Parcel 1 to its original size
and configuration.
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 in
that it would deny the applicant the opportunity to subdivide the project site into parcels that are of
similar size to other lots in the Very Low (VL) Development District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
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 as both of the new
lots will adhere to all other development requirements except that one of the lots (Parcel 1) will not
meet the minimum lot depth requirement. Parcel 1 will have a similar lot depth and width to the lotto
the west (which is 166 feet deep and 114 feet wide), both of which were created by Parcel Map
#5441 in accordance to the required lot dimensions at the time of subdivision.
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 in that the lots will be
used for residential development in accord with the development district and that Parcel 1 will be of
similar size and dimension to the lot to the west and the vacant lot(Parcel 2) meets all development
requirements of the development district.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed 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 Negative Declaration 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 there was
no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based
on that determination, a Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided
public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before it,
finds: (i)that the Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii)that there is
no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The
Planning Commission further finds that the Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment
and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission
hereby adopts the Negative Declaration prior to reviewing and taking action on the associated
Variance.
C. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Negative Declaration 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 attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
