regarding consultation. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians requested mitigation measure for
monitoring has been included as a mitigation measure. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and
the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation requested that mitigation measures be
incorporated. These mitigation measure have been included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Should any undocumented archaeological or cultural resources be discovered during grading activities,
adherence to the mitigation measures will ensure that all impacts will be less than significant.
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 General Plan. The General Plan land use
designation for the project site is Industrial Park. The General Plan states that the Industrial Park land
use designation accommodates manufacturing uses. The project is for the development of a building for
a food manufacturer and is consistent with the intent of the General Plan's Industrial Park land use
designation; and
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 Industrial
Park (IP) District allows for manufacturing as a permitted use; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code except the trailer parking requirement, the passenger vehicle parking requirement,
and the side building setback on the east side of the project site. The applicant has submitted Variance
DRC2018-00760, Minor Exception DRC2018-00761, and Minor Exception DRC2018-00762 requesting
deviations from these requirements. Otherwise, the proposal is in compliance with the City's technical
standards/guidelines such as Floor Area Ratio, building height, landscape coverage, and design
standards/guidelines such overall architecture, materials, finishes, etc.; 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 Initial Study Part II outlines potential environmental impacts related to the project and
identifies project specific mitigation measures that reduce these impacts to less -than -significant.
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 forthe
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.
b. During the public comment period, Staff received a comment letter from the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on March 20, 2019. That agency had two sets of
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-24
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-003?6 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR FIVE STAR FOODS
April 10, 2019
Page 5
comments. The first set were general comments that summarized the project and their determination
that the project's construction and operational emissions would not exceed SCAQMD's airquality CEQA
significance thresholds. The second set related to potential permits to allow the use of certain
manufacturing equipment. The comment letter was forwarded to the applicant's environmental
consultant. They provided a response to the comments that 1) acknowledged the first set of comments,
and 2) indicated that none of the equipment that would be used require any special permits or
registration. Staff reviewed the comments from SCAQMD and the applicant's consultant's responses
and has concluded that no revisions to, and/or recirculation of, the IS/MND is required.
C. 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 furtherfinds 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.
d. 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.
e. 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 City Planner 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 in the
attached Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring Checklist incorporated herein.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 10TH DAY OF APRIL 2019.

RESOLUTION NO. 19-25
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE DRC2018-
00760, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF TRUCK
TRAILER STALL PARKING FROM 4 STALLS TO 1 STALL RELATED TO A
PROPOSED PROJECT CONSISTING A 58,130 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL
OFFICE, MANUFACTURING AND WAREHOUSE BUILDING ON 2.76 ACRES
OF LAND WITHIN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK (IP) DISTRICT LOCATED AT 10234
4TH STREET; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0210-
371-01.
A. Recitals.
1. Charles Joseph Associates, on behalf of Five Star Foods, filed an application for the
approval of Variance DRC2018-00760, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Design Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 27th day of March 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and Continued said meeting at the request of
Staff on that date to April 10, 2019.
3. On the 10th day of April 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said meeting at the request of
Staff on that date.
4. 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 meeting on April 10, 2019, including written and oral staff reports, together with public

d. The application is a request to reduce the trailer parking requirement for the project.
Per Section 17.64.090 of the Development Code, one (1) space for parking for a trailer is required for
each loading dock door; and
e. The purpose of the technical standard for the amount of trailer parking that is required
is to ensure safe, aesthetically attractive, and convenient parking and to ensure that parking is
compatible with surrounding land uses. Insufficient trailer parking for industrial uses can result in trailers
being stored where employees and visitors would normally park. This would cause them to park in the
street or on neighboring properties, and/or in areas on -site where they are not supposed to park
because it will block access by, for example, emergency vehicles; and
f. The project has four (4) dock doors but only one (1) trailer parking space is proposed
(a deficit of 3 spaces). The request is for a 75% reduction in the parking requirement for trailers. To
support this request, the applicant submitted a parking analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc.
on April 9, 2018; and
g. According to the analysis, the operating characteristics for Five Star Foods as a food
manufacturer does not require long-term trailer parking. Furthermore, Five Star Foods' current Standard
Operating Procedures for sanitation require each loading dock position to be sanitized on a regular
basis. Based on the procedures, dock positions are sanitized at least once per week; the loading dock
being sanitized is not used for loading or unloading of product; a maximum of two (2) loading docks will
be used for actively loading and unloading at any given time; once sanitation procedures are complete,
the dock positions that were recently sanitized become the primary dock positions and the two positions
that have not yet been sanitized will be shut down to perform sanitation procedures; the maximum
number of positions open for use at any given time is two (2) while sanitation procedures are taking
place; and no unattended trailer will be left on -site for longer than 24 hours; and
h. This means that while four (4) loading dock positions will be provided, a maximum of
two (2) will be in use at any given time and the other two (2) loading dock positions can be used for
trailer parking. This effectively results in three (3) trailer parking spaces being provided for two (2)
loading dock positions; and
i. Associated with this Variance are Design Review DRC2018-00326, Minor Exception
DRC2018-00761, and Minor Exception DRC2018-00762 for requests to construct an industrial building,
reduce the passenger vehicle parking requirement, and reduce the side building setback on the east
side of the project site.
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:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-25
VARIANCE DRC2018-00760 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR FIVE STAR FOODS
April 10, 2019

a. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in
a difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Code. Based on the
operational characteristics of Five Star Foods, there is no need for the required trailer parking stalls.
Providing the required trailer parking would require a redesign of the project. This includes a reduction
in the size of the building which results in a building of a size that would no longer meet the needs of the
business as it would result in operational inefficiencies for them. Adding more trailer parking spaces,
that would not be used due to their sanitization procedures, would also result less in less parking
spaces for employees/visitors, landscaping, or other, more beneficial purposes.
b. 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 zone. Near the northeast comer of the site there is a wireless communication facility
consisting of the communications tower (a "monopine") and appurtenant enclosures. The "footprint" of
this facility is about 48 feet (north -south) and 28 (east -west) and is located in area where trailer parking
stalls normally would have been placed based on the layout and plotting of the building. The minimum
required dimensions for trailer parking space is 14 feet in width and 50 feet in length per Section
17.64.090 of the Development Code. Thus, the facility occupies an area that is nearly equal to that
required for two (2) trailer parking spaces. It is very unlikely that the subject communications facility
could be relocated on -site or to another location off -site.
C. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would not
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone.
Requiring the trailer parking spaces as required by the Development Code would affect Five Star Foods'
ability to operate in the most efficient manner and cause them to not use the property to its maximum
potential. Five Star Foods is a manufacturer of food products and they do not need the trailer parking
spaces. Furthermore, due to their standard operating procedures for sanitizing the trailers and the dock
area, two of the parking spaces immediately in front of the dock doors will not be used for un/loading
and can function as trailer parking spaces when needed.
d. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Reductions in the trailer parking
requirements can be requested by developers of industrial projects for consideration by the City. For
example, operational characteristics by specific users, and how the logistics, warehouse, and
manufacturing industries currently function are regularly a primary determinant of whether all the trailer
parking spaces will be actually used or, instead, used for outdoor storage overstock or equipment. In
this case, the operating characteristics for Five Star Foods as a food manufacturer does not require
long-term trailer parking. Furthermore, Five Star Foods' current Standard Operating Procedures for
sanitation require each loading dock position to be sanitized on a regular basis. Although there are four
(4) loading dock positions that will be provided, only a maximum of two (2) can be in use at any given
time and the other two (2) loading dock positions can be used for trailer parking.
e. 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 reduction in the trailer
parking requirement will not be detrimental to the community as the operating characteristics of Five
Star Foods does not warrant the required trailer parking and, therefore, the primary reasons for needing
the trailers — 1) to ensure safe, aesthetically attractive, and convenient parking and to ensure that
parking is compatible with surrounding land uses, and 2) to prevent the lack of trailer parking resulting in
trailers being stored where employees and visitors would normally park, or having the trailers park in the
street, on neighboring properties, and/or in areas on -site where they are not supposed to park because
it will block access by, for example, emergency vehicles is unlikely.

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 forthe
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.
b. During the public comment period, Staff received a comment letter from the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on March 20, 2019. That agency had two sets of
comments. The first set were general comments that summarized the project and their determination
that the project's construction and operational emissions would not exceed SCAQMD's air quality CEQA
significance thresholds. The second set related to potential permits to allow the use of certain
manufacturing equipment. The comment letter was forwarded to the applicant's environmental
consultant. They provided a response to the comments that 1) acknowledged the first set of comments,
and 2) indicated that none of the equipment that would be used require any special permits or
registration. Staff reviewed the comments from SCAQMD and the applicant's consultant's responses
and has concluded that no revisions to, and/or recirculation of, the IS/MND is required.
C. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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 City Planner 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 in the
attached Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring Checklist incorporated herein.
