A. Recitals.
1. Woodbridge Hospitality, Inc.filed an application forthe approval of Development Review
DRC2014-00232 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 8th day of April 2015 the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a 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 April 8, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a parcel located on the west side of Pittsburgh Drive,
near the intersection with Mission Vista Drive, about 700 feet north of 4th Street; and
b. The parcel has an area of about 91,000 square feet(2.08 acres)and is about 289
feet(east-west) by about 308 feet (north-south); and
C. The parcel is vacant and is dominated by short grasses/shrubs; and

e. The zoning of the property and all properties to surrounding it is Industrial Park(IP)
District. The property and the properties to the east, west, and south are also within the Industrial
Commercial Overlay District (ICOD); and
f. The applicant proposes to construct a 4-story hotel with a floor area of 60,989
square feet and 105 rooms. The hotel will operate as a Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriot; and
g. The parking requirement for hotels is one parking stall per unit/room and two
parking stalls for the manager/employees. The required parking for the proposed hotel is 107
parking stalls; 108 parking stalls will be provided; and
h. The proposed hotel has a floor area of 60,989 square feet. As the area of the
project site is about 91,000 square feet(2.08 acres),the building will have a floorarea ratio(FAR)of
67 percent(60,989/91,000 = 0.67). As the FAR of the proposed hotel exceeds the maximum FAR
of 0.60 (60 percent) that is permitted in the Industrial Park (IP) District per Figure LU-2 of the
General Plan and Table 17.36.040-1 of the Development Code, General Plan Amendment
DRC2014-00877 and Development Code Amendment DRC2014-00879 are being presented to the
Planning Commission in conjunction with the subject application in order to establish a higher
maximum FAR that will be specific to hotels and motels.
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 in accord with the General Plan(subject to the approval of
General Plan Amendment DRC2014-00877), the objectives of the Development Code (subject to
the approval of Development Code Amendment DRC2014-00879),and the purposes of the Zoning
District in which the site is located. The proposal is to construct a 4-story hotel with a floor area of
60,989 square feet and 105 rooms. The underlying General Plan designation is Industrial Park.
b. The proposed project, 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 zoning of the property and all properties to surrounding it is Industrial Park (IP)
District. The property and the properties to the east, west, and south are also within the Industrial
Commercial Overlay District (ICOD);
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, except maximum Floor Area Ratio,forwhich a Development Code Amendment
(related file: DRC2014-00567)is being presented in order to allow the floor area ratio to be greater
than 0.60 (60 percent). The proposed development otherwise complies with all other standards
outlined in the Development Code and the design and development standards and policies of the
Planning Commission and the City including building and parking setbacks, building height,average
landscape depth, parking, landscape coverage, site planning, and architecture.
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 furtherfinds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings and prior to the approving Development Review
DRC2014-00232, the Planning Commission hereby recommends the City Council adopt 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
recommends the City Council adopt 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 recommendation 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.
