AND 0229-284-01.
A. Recitals.
1. Carter Redish filed an application for the issuance of Development Review
DRC2017-00589, 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 28th day of February 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on said 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 February 28, 2018, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The vacant project site is heavily disturbed and sparsely vegetated with a variety of
non-native and early successional weedy plant species. The site is generally level with a subtle
slope from north to south; and
b. The site is bordered by vacant land within the General Industrial(GI)District to the
north, by industrial buildings within the General Industrial (GI)District to the west and south and by
the 1-15 Freeway to the east; and
c. On August 13, 2008, the Planning Commission approved Design Review
DRC2006-01012, for the development of a 28,860-square foot office/industrial building. The
approval was valid for five(5)years from that approval date(August 13, 2013 expiration date). On
August 28, 2013, the Planning Commission approved a two (2) year extension of the original
approval with a new expiration date of August 13, 2015. Building permits were not approved and a
second time extension was not requested. The project expired on August 13, 2015. On
July 18, 2017, the applicant submitted a new application for a 27,870-square foot industrial/office
building on the same site; and

d. The applicant proposes to construct a 27,870-square foot warehouse and
associated office area,which is identical to the originally approved design review(DRC2006-01012),
except for a slight decrease in building size (990 square feet). The decrease in building size was
necessary due to an underground utilities easement that runs along the west side of the building;
and
e. The site is located on and served by a public street of the appropriate size and
configuration to accommodate the proposed use. The project will be required to construct the right-
of-way improvements along both 6th Street and Charles Smith Avenue, including curb and gutter,
sidewalks, street lights, street trees, paving, striping and traffic signing. The project also includes
constructing the transition along 6th Street from a major divided arterial west of Charles Smith
Avenue form a secondary arterial east of Charles Smith Avenue, this includes constructing the
sidewalk and other street improvements under the 1-15 Freeway overpass; and
f. The project complies with the Development Code requirements for building height,
setbacks, on-site parking requirements, and an efficient on-site circulation system; and
g. The project will include one dock-high loading bay with an adjacent parking space
for a truck trailer and on-site parking for 30 standard size vehicles.
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 objectives of the General Plan.The site
is located within land designated as General Industrial.The General Industrial designation permits a
wide range of industrial activities.The proposed 27,870-square foot industrial warehouse building is
designed for wholesale warehousing with ancillary office uses. All site improvements, including
parking and landscaped areas, are designed to be consistent with the warehousing use and is
consistent with the General Industrial land use as designated in the General Plan; 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 Development Code designates the
project site as a General Industrial(GI)District. The potential industrial and warehousing land uses
that would be associated with this project are consistent with the General Industrial(GI)District.The
zoning of the adjacent sites to the west and south of the property are also in the General Industrial
(GI)District and consist of industrial warehouse buildings.The design of the project site and building
is similar in scale and intensity to neighboring lots; and
c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The building is designed as an industrial warehouse building with ancillary
office space to support the main warehouse use. The building meets all setbacks, floor area and
height requirements.The building has been designed to meet the City's architectural standards.The
site meets the minimum parking, access and landscaping requirements. Therefore, the project
meets all applicable provisions of the Development Code; 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 site is surrounded by industrial facilities of a similar scale and
intensity and is bounded to the west by the 1-15 Freeway. The site is not located in the vicinity of any

sensitive receptors and there are no sensitive uses proposed onsite. Operations on the site are
expected to meet all Development Code standards regarding noise and odor. Therefore, the
proposed use is not expected to be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
4. 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 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15332, which covers in-fill developments which meet the following criteria: 1) consistent with the
General Plan; 2) less than 5 acres; 3) no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened
species; 4) would not have significant effect on the environment(traffic, noise, air quality, or water
quality); and, 5)the site is adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Staff has reviewed the Habitat Study,Air Quality and Green House Gas Analysis and Noise Impact
Analysis submitted for the project and, based upon the studies, determined that the project would
not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise,air quality,water quality or have value as
habitat for rare or endangered species. Further, the site will be adequately served by all required
utilities and public services and is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all
applicable General Plan policies as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations.
Additionally, the 29 peak hour vehicle trips created by the project is below the 50 vehicle trip
threshold necessary to require a traffic study. Having determined that the project complies all the
limitations outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, staff finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption,and based on its
own independent judgment, concurs in 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 in the
Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

42. 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 shall 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.

43. If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer
will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures
to protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, 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 Archaeological
resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important,
and unique prehistoric resources, including but not limited to, avoiding
archaeological sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a
park or green space or paying an in-kind mitigation fee.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory,
evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit
one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino
County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
44. If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are 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.
• 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, the grading contractor should
immediately divert construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the
summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino
County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected
specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Archaeological
Information Center for permanent archiving.

issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall send the required plans to the owner of the 15"
sewer main for review. The applicant shall scan and paste onto the permitted set of grading plans a
letter from the owner of the 15" sewer main authorizing construction of the building footing adjacent
to the 15" sewer main.
