e. The related Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-01135 proposes to exceed the 75-
foot maximum building height for properties in the City's Industrial Districts; and
f. The project was designed to be architecturally compatible with the design of the
existing Frito-Lay facility, which is primarily of concrete tilt up design and construction. The
architectural design of the proposed ASRS building is designed to be constructed of textured
panels, painted white and gray, and to match the existing buildings on-site; and
g. The applicant submitted Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136,which proposes
the removal of 9 trees whose location conflicts with proposed improvements, including 7 Fern
Pine and 2 Red Iron Bark trees. Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136 will be reviewed by the
Planning Director following the Planning Commission action for Design Review DRC2014-01139
and Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-01135; and
h. The proposed project meets or exceeds all Development Code standards. As
conditioned, the proposed warehouse expansion will meet all applicable Development Code
standards for industrial development.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting 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. The
proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Zoning Code, Municipal Code, General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans
or City regulations/standards. Development Code Section 17.30.030 (and Table 17.30.030-1)
permits Medium Manufacturing in the General Industrial (GI) District. Development of the project
site and the proposed improvements comply with all applicable standards of the Development
Code relating to site development (setback, parking, landscaping, etc.); 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. The site is physically suited for the type,
density, and intensity of the proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical
constraints and can be conditioned to meet all related performance criteria and development
standards. The existing Frito-Lay facility occupies a building that was developed in conformance
with all Development Code standards and conditions of approval have been imposed to ensure
that the use will comply with the Performance Standards set forth in Development Code Section
17.66 and will not create adverse impacts upon adjacent uses or within the community; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, except for exceeding the maximum building height of 75 feet. Granting the
permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or
materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity in which the project is
located. The design of the project, the applicant's operational controls and policies, and the
conditions of approval will ensure proper control over the facility. The project's architectural
design is consistent with the design of the existing facility's materials, color, scale, massing, and
height and was designed to be complementary to the existing project and surrounding
neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed warehouse expansion is set back 330 feet from
Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street and will be screened by the existing 10 foot
high perimeter screen wall and existing landscaping along both street frontages; 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 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; and
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; and
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; and
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 Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference.

encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
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.

9. g. Section 7 shall precede section 5 since it is addressing the type of construction separation. This
portion of the analysis is inconclusive and shall be corrected, also see item 'c' above. Some of the
issues are: section 706.5.3 neither does an exception exist in the 2013 edition of the CBC; In the
1991 code a type VN is not equivalent to a IIIN building type in the 2013 CBC; section 706.6 as
quoted is not applicable since the rated wall is on the lower building. Section 706.8 requires the
opening to be protected but the report does not address that "protection is required" or detail of how
the openings are going to be protected, specially were conveyors are been installed, revise to
indicate how compliance will be achieved; please narrow the analysis to the pertinent sections of the
CBC based on the construction of the buildings and make the conclusions based on building
construction verification. The exhibit does not provide a separation between the new proposed
A.S.R.S. warehouse and the existing warehouse building to the north. Please make the report
consistent with any exhibit.
h. Correct section 8, there is no separation required based on fire separation distance requirements,
you have already made the case that the entire facility is now going to be considered a single
building for allowable area and the separation is only required for construction types; combine this
section with section 7 and correct the construction types incorrectly stated as 2-B and 3-B it should
be noted as type IIB or IIIB, the construction modifications meet code they do not exceed it, please
correct the statement. The building to the west of the addition and the building to the north addition
do not appear to be same building, please take that into consideration in your analysis.
i. Section 9 addresses exiting; the path of travel must be on approved exit path with compliant
components. The picking tunnel is consider and aisle and not a corridor (we are not aware of any
corridors proposed), the stairways compliance are not addressed on your report; based on our
knowledge of this facilities rack system stairs usually do not comply with the CBC specifications for
components such hand rail continuity, width, tread and riser sizing. The travel distance is measured
along a fully compliant path, obtain shop drawings from the manufacturer and determine if the
existing system is compliant. It appears that that a possible solution is to provide rated exit
enclosures on the west wall of the A.S.R.S. addition connecting to both ends of the picking tunnels
at all levels and exiting directly to the exterior of the building if the proposed exit path is not
compliant. Address the requirement for exit signs.
I. Appendix A will be reviewed during the plan check process and has not been review nor accepted
at this time.
3. Subsequent review may require specific details of the rack configuration to determine the
effective operation of the proposed sprinkler system. Further clarification describing how the product
is packaged and if there are any products that are exposed plastics and/or encapsulated is required
to be addressed in the revised report.
4. Address how the rack system meets the requirements of section 3206.9 and if not what are the
alternate method of access and protection that are provided per the exception.
