A. Recitals. 1. Frito-Lay filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2014- 01135, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 22nd day of July, 2015, 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 July 22, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street, with a street frontage of 1251 feet along Archibald Avenue, and a street frontage of 1269 feet along Fourth Street, and is presently improved with the existing Frito- Lay office, manufacturing, and warehouse facility; and b. The property to the north and east of the subject site is improved with industrial buildings, the property to the west is improved with existing office and single-family residential, and the property to the south is vacant and located in the City of Ontario; and C. The applicant currently maintains an existing 430,643 square foot office, manufacturing, and warehouse facility on 37 acres of land; and d. The applicant proposes the development of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) warehouse addition; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-52 DRC2014-01135 — FRITO-LAY July 22, 2015 Page 2 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 use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 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.). b. 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 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. C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 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. 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 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-52 DRC2014-01135 — FRITO-LAY July 22, 2015 Page 3 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 decision is based is the Planning Manager 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 for Design Review DRC2014-01139 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Fire Prevention / New Construction Unit Standard Conditions of Approval 2. 1. Submit the Fire and Life Safety Report prepared for the High Bay A.S.R.S and shipping area for plan review. The report comments at this time are preliminary in nature and additional comments will be generated with the formal submittal. The report will be reviewed by a third party acceptable the Rancho Cucamonga Fire protection District (RCFPD) and Building and Safety Services Department final plan approval will be granted by the city. Also, reference the Building and Safety Services Department Conditions of approval. Some of the B&S Conditions of Approval may be shown in the document as well, the conditions of both departments are consistent with each other. 2. Some preliminary concerns that will be required to be addressed by the report are: a. In the references of the report revise the NFPA edition to the 2013 Edition. Change the reference from the 2013 California Fire Prevention Code to the 2013 California Fire Code. b. in Section 3, the analysis goes into a mixed use and occupancy by addressing "Accessory Uses," and "Nonseparated Occupancies". These are all occupancies that are not required to be separated (CBC Table 508.4). Please revise the mix use analysis. c. In section 4, Exception 507.3 addresses unlimited height but it fails to expand on the construction separation requirements per the CBC. There is a disconnection between sections 4 and section 7, make the analysis of the same regulation in a single section or make a solid connection between the two sections. Please revise the report to indicate that construction types must be separated and indicate were these separations are to occur. Before resubmitting verify the construction types of the existing buildings and in the report clearly identify how the separation will be maintained such as the hourly protection rating, the features protecting the stepped building heights, roof protection adjacent to the fire rated walls if required (including supporting elements), protection of openings and the interconnection to conveyor systems. Also see item g below. d. In section 5 (CFC section 3206), the sprinkler protection will be reviewed during the plan check process and has not been review nor accepted at this time. e.

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 V 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 passible 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. j. 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 haw 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. w .CityofRC.us Printed:7/14/2015 Page 7 of 14 Project#: DRC2014-01139 CEQA2015-00001 Project Name: Frito-Lay Location: 9535 ARCHIBALD AVE - 021007128-0000 Project Type: Design Review CEQA Review ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLY TO YOUR PROJECT: Fire Prevention / New Construction Unit Standard Conditions of Approval 5.

Building and Safety Services Department Please be advised of the following Special Conditions 2. 1. Submit the Fire and Life Safety Report prepared for the High Bay A.S.R.S and shipping area for plan review. The report comments at this time are preliminary in nature and additional comments will be generated with the formal submittal. The report will be reviewed by a third party acceptable the Rancho Cucamonga Fire protection District (RCFPD) and Building and Safety Services Department final plan approval will be granted by the city. Also, reference the Building and Safety Services Department Conditions of approval. Some of the B&S Conditions of Approval may be shown in the document as well, the conditions of both departments are consistent with each other. 2. Some preliminary concerns that will be required to be addressed by the Fire life Safety report and eventually in the building's structural design are: a. in Section 3, the analysis goes into a mixed use and occupancy by addressing "Accessory Uses," and "Nonseparated Occupancies". These are all occupancies that are not required to be separated (CBC Table 508.4). Please revise the mix use analysis. b. In section 4, Exception 507.3 addresses unlimited height but it fails to expand on the construction separation requirements per the CBC. There is a disconnection between sections 4 and section 7, make the analysis of the same regulation in a single section or make a solid connection between the two sections. Please revise the report to indicate that construction types must be separated and indicate were these separations are to occur. Before resubmitting verify the construction types of the existing buildings and in the report clearly identify how the separation will be maintained such as the hourly protection rating, the features protecting the stepped building heights, roof protection adjacent to the fire rated walls if required (including supporting elements), protection of openings and the interconnection to conveyor systems. Also see item g below. c. In last paragraph of section 5 the report addresses emergency lighting which is a requirement of the CBC and not of the CFC chapter 32. Relocate and reword the statement and include emergency exit sigs as required by the 2013 CBC chapter 10. d. 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 Standard Conditions of Approval 3. Upon plan check submittal, additional requirements may be needed. 4. Submit two sets of structural calculations, two sets of energy conservation calculations, and a soils report. Architect's/Engineer's stamp and "wet" signature are required prior to plan check submittal. w .CityofRC.us Printed:7/14/2015 Page 10 of 14 Project#: DRC2014-01139 CEQA2015-00001 Project Name: Frito-Lay Location: 9535 ARCHIBALD AVE - 021007128-0000 Project Type: Design Review CEQA Review ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLY TO YOUR PROJECT: Building and Safety Services Department Standard Conditions of Approval 5.
