A. Recitals. 1. Ken Zheng filed an application for the approval of Minor Design Review DRC2014-00893, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Minor Design Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 9th day of December 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 December 9, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The site is located within the Very Low (VL) Development District; and b. To the north and south of the project site are single-family residences within the Very Low (VL) Residential Zoning District; to the west is vacant land within the Flood Control (FC) Zoning District; and, to the east is a vacant lot within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District; and C. The applicant is requesting site plan and architectural review of a 7,302 square foot two- story single-family residence and an attached 1,055 square foot garage on a 25,273 square foot lot, and d. The project complies with the development criteria except for the 60-foot rear yard setback. The applicant has submitted a request for a Variance (DRC2014-00894) to reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 60 feet to 30 feet; and e. The original subdivision (SUBTT16461) included a Variance (DRC2003-00902) permitting a reduction in the required lot depth; and f. The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on October 20, 2015. The Committee forwarded the project to the Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-77 MINOR DESIGN REVIEW DRC2014-00893 December 9, 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 project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan states that the Very Low (VL) Land Use District is characterized by detached, very low-density single residential units on 0.5 acre lots or larger, with private yards and private parking. The applicant proposed constructing a single-family residence on a previously subdivided lot that provides a private yard and parking. b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The Development Code states that the Very Low (VL) Zoning District designates areas for very low density residential use, with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and a maximum residential density of up to 2 units per gross acre. The subject lot is 25,273 square feet in size and is being developed with a single-family residence. C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The project complies with each development and design criteria outlined in the Development Code except for the rear yard setback for which the applicant has filed for a Variance; 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. The proposed single-family residence is similar in design quality and intensity to the neighboring residences and will not negatively impact the surrounding lots; and 4. The Planning Department Staff 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 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, which covers the construction of a limited number of structures including a single-family residence. The project entails constructing a single-family residence on a residentially zoned lot. Staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff's determination of exemption. 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 Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for a request for site plan and architectural review of a 7,302 square foot two-story single-family residence and an attached 1,055 square foot garage on a 25,273 square foot lot at 9251 loamosa Court; APN: 1061- 611-15. 2) All walls visible from the public right-of-way shall be decorative (i.e. split face, slump stone or stucco), including a matching decorative cap. At a minimum, PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-77 MINOR DESIGN REVIEW DRC2014-00893 December 9, 2015 Page 3 the walls shall include a decorative pilaster at each corner and adjacent to the gates. 3) All window and door surrounds shall either have a smooth stucco finish or be made of cast stone. 4) The rafter tails shall have a natural wood grained appearance. 5) The front door and garage access door shall be of a similar design and compliment the Mediterranean architecture of the residence. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 9TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2015.
