g. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is .39 percent, below the maximum permitted .60
percent FAR; and
h. The project includes 26 standard vehicle parking spaces and 1 trailer parking
space as required by the Development Code.
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 and the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which it is located. The General Plan states
that the General Industrial (GI) designation permits a wide range of industrial activities that include
manufacturing, assembling, wholesale supply and office uses. The proposed 15,821 square foot
industrial building is designed for office/warehouse/manufacturing uses and has a Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) of .39 percent, below the maximum FAR of .60 percent.
b. The proposed development is compatible with the existing and proposed land uses
in the surrounding area. The project site is surrounded by industrial development to the east, west
and south and by a vacant, industrially zoned land to the north. The proposed 15,821 square foot
building is of similar design and intensity to the surrounding industrial development.
C. The proposed development will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed development meets all 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; average landscape depth; floor area ratio; parking;
dock and storage area screening, landscape coverage, site planning, and architecture.
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 as all activities will take place within an enclosed building and will
comply with all related local, State and Federal requirements.
4. Prior to any action being taken on this entitlement, the Planning Director has determined
that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332,which covers in-fill development that does not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The project scope is for the
development of a 15,821 square foot office/manufacturing/warehouse building on a.89 acre vacant
site. The Planning Director finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment based upon the following:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-28
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2014-00745 — KARISH ARCHITECTS
April 22, 2015
Page 3
a. The project is consistent with the General Plan and all applicable General Plan
policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The General Plan and
zoning designations for the project site is General Industrial (GI), which permits
office/manufacturing/warehouse buildings.
b. The proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more
than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The .89 acre project site is within the city limits
and is surrounded by urban uses. There is industrial development of similar design and intensity to
the east, west and south and vacant industrially zoned land to the north.
C. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species. An Initial Biological Analysis (TeraCor Resource Management, November 24, 2014) was
performed on the project site which determined that the vacant, graded site contains limited
vegetation and has no substantial or important biological resources. The Biological Analysis
concluded that the proposed project would not affect any sensitive species and that no further
investigation is warranted at this time. Staff contacted the biologist(Jared Reed, TeraCor Resource
Management)that drafted the Initial Biological Analysis to discuss the potential for the burrowing owl
to habitate the project site. Staff was informed that there were no burrowing owls found on the
project site but that there was always the potential for the burrowing owl to habitate the site in the
future. Staff has added a Condition of Approval to this Resolution of Approval requiring burrowing
owl and nesting bird surveys prior to the approval of a grading plan.
d. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects related to traffic,
noise, air quality or water quality.
I. Traffic- The proposed 15,821 square foot industrial building is estimated to
produce 15 two-way peak hour trips per day based on the Trip Generation Manual. The City's traffic
model does not consider a project to have a significant impact on the roadway system until it
exceeds 50 two-way peak hour trips; as such, the effect on the environment is not significant.
IL Noise - The project approval will include Conditions of Approval which
regulate the time of day when construction activity may occur. The Development Code includes
Performance Standards which regulate noise levelswithin the General Industrial (GI)Zoning District.
All business activities are required to be performed within an enclosed building and the project site is
not located adjacent to a residential district; as such, the effect on the environment is not
significant.
III. Air Quality-An Air Quality and Green House Gas Analysis was prepared for
the project(CAJA Environmental Services, LLC, March 2015). Emissions were calculated using the
CAIEEMod 2013.2.2 model. The study concluded that the project would not exceed SCAQMD
thresholds for construction emissions, localized emissions or operational emissions. The report also
concluded that the project will be consistent with all feasible and applicable strategies recommended
by the California Assembly Bill 32(AB 32)Scoping Plan.As a result, the project's cumulative impact
on air quality and climate change is not significant.
IV. Water Quality — The project has submitted a Preliminary Water Quality
Management Exhibit(Walden&Associates, December 19, 2014)that complies with the most recent
State and local water quality requirements; as such, the effect on the environment is not
significant.

e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.The
project will be served by the City's utility and service providers who each have adequate capacity to
meet the project's level of service demand.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Director's determination of exemption, and
based on their own independent judgment, concurs with Planning Director's determination of
exemption.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-28
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2014-00745 — KARISH ARCHITECTS
April 22, 2015
Page 7
birds have not begun egg-laying or incubation; or(b)the juveniles from
the occupied nests are foraging independently and are capable of
independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one of the
above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300 feet of
non-raptor nests, and within 5,000 feet of raptor nests, during the
breeding season to avoid abandonment of the young.
2) Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl
Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning
Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity.The survey shall
include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The
Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol:
• Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix
D (Breeding and Non-breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of
the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre-construction survey
shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre-construction
survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then
no further mitigation is required. If burrowing owls are found to be
utilizing the project site during the pre-construction survey,
measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in
coordination with CDFW to avoid Impacting occupied burrows
during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the
most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum include
establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl
monitoring. If ground-disturbing activities are delayed or
suspended for more than 30 days after the pre-construction
survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls.
• During the non-breeding season from September 1 through
January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non-
migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre-construction
survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude
owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should
only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination
with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines.
• During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August
31, if nests are discovered, they should be avoided through
establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by
a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary"no construction"area
would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its
cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the
nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have
left the nest, construction in the area may resume.

the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of
the area.
• Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2
Archeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project

specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures(i.e.,
paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited
to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay,to the
site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery,
