A. Recitals.
1. Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) filed an application for the
approval of Variance No. DRC2018-00162, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter
in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application."
2. On November 14, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application.
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 November 14, 2018, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to vacant property located at 8870 San Bernardino Road
on the northwest corner of Vineyard Avenue and San Bernardino Road. The project site is
currently comprised of five (5) parcels with combined area of 107,722 square feet (2.45 acres).
The triangular-shaped project site has dimensions of about 311 feet along its west perimeter and
about 92 feet along its northwest perimeter. The street frontage of the site along Vineyard Avenue
and San Bernardino Road are about 473 feet and 305 feet, respectively; and
b. The site is generally bound by the trail to the north and northwest, and Vineyard
Avenue to the east and northeast. On the opposite sides of the trail and Vineyard Avenue are

single-family residences. The site is partially bound on the west by a flood control channel. To
the south, across San Bernardino Road is a set of two (2) houses and a commercial center
(Vineyard Gateway); and
C. The zoning of the property is Medium (M) Residential District. The zoning of the
properties to the north, northwest, and northeast is Low (L) Residential District while the properties
to the east are Low (L) Residential District and Office Professional (OP) District. The zoning of
the property to the south is Community Commercial (CC) District. The zoning of the flood control
channel is Flood Control (FC) District. The project site and the property to the south are also
within the Foothill Boulevard Overlay District; and
d. The General Plan designation of the property is Medium Residential. The
designation of the properties to the north, northwest, and northeast is Low Residential while the
designation of the properties to the east are Low Residential District and Office. The designation
of the property to the south is General Commercial. The designation of the flood control channel
is Flood Control; and
e. The applicant, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD),
proposes to construct and operate a new public safety facility. The project will house facilities for
both the Fire Department and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. The proposed
facility will replace existing Fire Station 172 located about 0.90 mile to the east at 9612 San
Bernardino Road and provide a new substation for the Sheriff's Department. The site planning
and architecture of the project is subject to the review of Design Review DRC2018-00097 that is
associated with this Variance; and
f. The interior area of the project site will be screened from the streets by walls.
These walls will be constructed of decorative blocks that match the those used for the exterior
walls of the proposed facility. The wall along Vineyard Avenue will be a combination wall with a
height of about 14 — 15 feet in height (as seen from the interior of the site) and 10 feet as seen
from the street. As the height of the wall exceeds the maximum allowable height for walls in the
Medium (M) Residential District, a Variance is required; and
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. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of the Development Code. The purpose of the technical standard for the maximum
height of walls in residential districts is to ensure that their residential character is preserved.
Walls that are over 6 feet in height can be out -of -scale relative to a person and/or a house, cast
large shadows, impact views, and impact the appearance and aesthetic of a residential property
and the overall neighborhood. However, the combination wall that is the subject of this Variance
request is for a non-residential project. As a public safety facility, for operational and security
reasons a wall with a height of over 6 feet is necessary to screen the interior of the site from view
along Vineyard Avenue and secure the facility. Additionally, the proposed wall will not affect any
other properties as it will not be along a shared property line. The properties to east are developed
with an office, one single-family residence, and the historic Rains House. The proposed wall will
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-76
VAR DRC2018-00162 — RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT/CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA

Page 3
be minimally visible from the single-family residence due to an existing perimeter wall on the west
side of that property. Visibility of the proposed wall from the Rains House will be very limited as
the distance between the house and the project site is about 200 feet.
Reducing the height of the combination wall to the height allowed by the Development Code would
not be practical. The elevation of the street surface of Vineyard Avenue increases by about 10
feet from south to north (1,265' to 1,275'). Relative to the finished surface elevation (about 1,270')
of the paved area between the main and accessory buildings of the facility, the surface of the
street will be about 5 feet higher at the northeast side of the project site. This results in the need
for a wall of similar height to retain the soil. Complying with the height requirement specified in
the Development Code would result in a screen wall portion of the combination wall to be limited
to 3.5 feet, i.e. 6 feet - 2.5 feet (half the retaining wall height) = 3.5'. A screen wall of that height
would not adequately screen the interior of the site from Vineyard Avenue and secure the facility;
and
b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to other properties in the same district. The elevation of the street surface of Vineyard
Avenue increases by about 10 feet from south to north. Relative to the finished surface elevation
of the paved area between the main and accessory buildings of the facility, the surface of the
street will be about 5 feet higher at the northeast side of the project site. Due to the triangular
shape of the project site, options and space are limited and it is not possible to adjust the plotting
and/or orientation of the facility's buildings, relocate the paved area, or construct a series of, for
example, two (2) 6 -foot high walls. Similarly, it is not possible to raise the finished surface of the
project site to minimize the grade difference. Doing so would increase the grade difference at
San Bernardino Road and significantly affect vehicle access — especially for apparatus such as a
fire engine. Furthermore, a public safety facility in a residential district is unique and, unlike the
project site, most properties in the Medium (M) Residential District are on generally flat terrain
with minimal variations in topography; and
C. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same
district. The project site is generally flat with an elevation change of about 14 feet and a slope
from the northwest to the southeast. The increase in the allowable height of the proposed wall
will ensure that the interior of the project site is adequately screened and secured. The project
site is in an area that is near hillside terrain, e.g. the Redhill community, where there are
differences in grade between properties or between a property and an adjacent street. A property
with such topography without combination walls would be less usable. If the applicant could not
construct the proposed wall, the feasibility of the subject property for a public safety facility would
be diminished. Also, as noted above, unlike the project site, most properties in the Medium (M)
Residential District are on generally flat terrain with minimal variations in topography; and
d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. Combination
walls for adequate screening and security are common for residential and non-residential
properties. The project site is in an area that is near hillside terrain where the property owners
have constructed combination walls. An increase in the allowable height of such a wall is regularly
requested, and often granted, in areas. Some of these walls are similar in height to the proposed

VAR DRC2018-00162 — RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT/CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA

wall. If the applicant could not construct these walls, the proposed public safety facility would
have to be significantly redesigned. Also, as noted above, most properties in the Medium (M)
Residential District are on generally flat terrain with minimal variations in topography; and
e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The height
of the proposed combination wall will be between 14 —15 feet. The height of this wall will be most
apparent from the interior of the project site. The height of the wall as seen from the Vineyard
Avenue will be limited to 10 feet. It will be similar in height to other combination walls that have
been constructed at other locations in the City with similar topographic conditions. The wall itself
will screen activity, equipment, and vehicles from public view that would otherwise be visible
without it.
The proposed wall will be constructed of decorative blocks consistent with the City's design
standards/guidelines for walls facing area within public view and/or adjacent to the public right-of-
way. The wall is designed to match the materials used for the proposed facility. To reduce its
visual massing, the wall will appear segmented due to horizontal offsets in the wall's alignment
that will cause, for example, one part of the wall plane to be about 3 feet further back from an
adjacent wall plane. Furthermore, landscaping consisting of ground cover and new trees will be
installed/planted along the entire length of the wall between it and the street.
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 recommends the City Council adopt 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, RCFPD and the City contracted Placeworks, an environmental consultant, to
prepare an Initial Study (IS) of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the
findings contained in that IS, it was determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures
related to Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils,
Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources
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 (MND) was prepared
for circulation and review. Placeworks provided public notice of the public comment period and
of the City's intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Staff received an email a representative from Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. on October 8, 2018.
The comments in the email were about the design of the facility's trash enclosure and a statement
indicating that the facility is subject to Assembly Bill AB1826 regarding organics recycling
including both food and green waste. Staff also received an email from the tribal government of
the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians on October 10, 2018. This email confirmed receipt of
the IS/MND and that they had reviewed the document and had no further comments.
Staff received one comment letter in response to the circulated IS/MND from the San Bernardino
County Public Works Department (SBCPWD) on November 1, 2018. The comment letter stated

RANCHO CUCAMONGA

that since the project is near the San Bernardino County Flood Control District's (District)
Cucamonga Channel, any proposed activity within the right-of-way would need an encroachment
permit from the District. Also, any District facilities built by the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) will require the District to obtain approval from the USACE. No
encroachment into the District's right-of-way is necessary nor anticipated. Therefore, no permits
are required, and the necessity of such permits and any impacts associated with the construction
do not need to be addressed in the MND prior to certification. Therefore, no revisions to the
IS/MND were required in response. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to
ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project; 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 therefore recommends the City Council adopt 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
recommends the City Council adopt 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 City Council's decision 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.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below.

demolition, grading) during the breeding/nesting season (September 1 through February 15), a
qualified monitoring biologist contracted by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District/City
of Rancho Cucamonga shall conduct a preconstruction survey(s) to identify any active nests in and
adjacent to the project site no more than three days prior to initiation of the action. If the biologist
does not find any active nests that would be potentially impacted, the proposed action may proceed.
However, if the biologist finds an active nest within or directly adjacent to the action area (within
100 feet) and determines that the nest may be impacted, the biologist shall delineate an appropriate
buffer zone around the nest using temporary plastic fencing or other suitable materials, such as
barricade tape and traffic cones. The buffer zone shall be determined by the biologist in
consultation with applicable resource agencies and in consideration of species sensitivity and
existing nest site conditions, and in coordination with the construction contractor. The qualified
biologist shall serve as a construction monitor during those periods when construction activities
occur near active nest areas to ensure that no inadvertent impacts on these nests occur. Only
specified activities (if any) approved by the qualified biologist in coordination with the construction
contractor shall take place within the buffer zone until the nest is vacated. Activities that may be
prohibited within the buffer zone by the biologist may include but not be limited to grading and
tree clearing. Once the nest is no longer active and upon final determination by the biologist,

46. - MITIGATION MEASURE Resource Assessment and Continuation of Work Protocol: Upon discovery
of any human remains, the tribal and/or archaeological monitor/consultant shall immediately divert
work at a minimum of 50 feet and place an exclusion zone around the burial. The monitor/
consultant shall then notify the Kizh Nation, lead archaeologist, and construction manager, who
shall then contact the coroner. Work shall continue to be diverted from the burial area while the
coroner determines whether the remains are Native American. The discovery shall be kept
confidential and secure to prevent any further disturbance. If the finds are determined to be
Native American, the coroner shall notify NAHC as mandated by state law who will then appoint a Most
Likely Descendent.
• Kizh-Gabrieleno Procedures for Burials and Funerary Remains: If the Klzh Nation is designated as
the Most Likely Descendent, the following treatment measures shall be implemented. To the Kizh
Nation, the term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones. In ancient as well as
historic times, tribal traditions included, but were not limited to, the burial of funerary objects with the
deceased, and the ceremonial burning of human remains. Associated funerary objects are objects
that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed
with individual human remains either at the time of death or later; other items made exclusively for
burial purposes or to contain human remains are also considered as associated funerary objects. All
such remains shall be treated in the same manner as bone fragments that remain intact.
- Treatment Measures: Prior to the continuation of ground -disturbing activities, the project applicant,
in coordination with the Kizh Nation and construction manager, shall arrange a designated location
within the footprint of the project site for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or
ceremonial objects. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and
recovered on the same day, the remains shall be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that
can be moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If
this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard shall be posted outside of
construction -related working hours_ The Kizh Nation shall make every effort to recommend diverting
the project and keeping the remains in situ and protected. If the project cannot be diverted, it may
be determined that burials be removed. The Kizh Nation shall work closely with the qualified
archaeologist to ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically, and respectfully. If data
recovery is approved by the Kizh Nation, documentation shall be undertaken, which includes at a
minimum detailed descriptive notes and sketches. Additional types of documentation shall be
approved by the Kizh Nation for data recovery purposes. Cremations shall either be removed in bulk
or by means as necessary to ensure completely recovery of all material. If the discovery of human
remains includes four or more burials, the location shall be considered a cemetery and a separate
treatment plan shall be created. Once complete, a final report of all activities shall be submitted to
the Kizh Nation and NAHC. The Kizh Nation shall notauthorize any scientific study or the utilization
of any invasive diagnostics on human remains.
