FOOT SIDE YARD BUILDING SETBACK TO 4 FEET 6 INCHES 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 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 Minor Exception DRC2018-00762, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in
this Resolution, the subject Minor Exception 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 herebyfound, 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
testimony this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The project site is a parcel with an area of 2.76 acres located on the north side of 4th
Street, about 300 feet west of the intersection of Center Avenue and 4th Street that has a dimension of
200 feet (east -west) and 600 feet (north -south); and
b. Currently, the southern one-third of the site is improved with a building of metal and
masonry construction with a combined floor area of about 13,000 square feet and a partially improved
asphalt parking lot.
C. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for the
project site and the surrounding properties are as follows:

d. The application is a request to reduce the required minimum side building setback. Per
Table 17.36.040-1 of the Development Code, the minimum side building setback in all industrial districts
is 5 feet (measured from the building wall to the property line). The project contemplates a reduction
from 0.5 feet to allow for the column of the decorative arch at the southeast comer of the proposed
building to encroach into the setback along the east property line. The remainder of the building will be
in compliance with the building setback requirement. The primary wall plane on the east side of the
building will be 58 feet from the east property line; and
e. Associated with this Minor Exception are Design Review DRC2018-00326, Variance
DRC2018-00760, and Minor Exception DRC2018-00761 for requests to construct an industrial building,
reduce the trailer parking requirement, and reduce the parking requirement.
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 minor exception is consistent with the General Plan oranyapplicable specific plan
or development agreement. The General Plan land use designation of the project site is Industrial Park.
The industrial manufacturing and warehousing project is consistent with the other industrial uses in the
area and therefore consistent with the intent of the Industrial Park designation of the General Plan. The
General Plan does not establish a procedure for reducing setback requirements but recognizes the
Development Code as the governing document for technical standards for building setback. The
Development Code permits a reduction of up to 10% in the setback requirement. The proposed Minor
Exception is for a reduction of 0.5 feet (5 feet reduced to 4.5 feet, 0.10 x 5 = 0.5). Therefore, the
proposed setback reduction request is consistent with the Development Code and General Plan. No
specific plan nor development agreement applies to this project.
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the
surrounding area. The proposed project is an industrial building of 58,130 square feet for office,
manufacturing, and warehousing for a food manufacturer. It is similar with the other industrial uses and
buildings in the vicinity. Per Table 17.36.040-1 of the Development Code, the minimum side building
setback in all industrial districts is 5 feet (measured from the building wall to the property line). The
proposed Minor Exception is for a reduction of 0.5 feet (5 feet reduced to 4.5 feet, 0.10 x 5 = 0.5). The
reduction in the setback is for only the column that supports a decorative arch. Furthermore, the
remainder of the building will be in compliance with the building setback requirement. The primary wall
plane on the east side of the building will be 58 feet from the east property line. Therefore, the reduction
in the setback requirement will not have an impact on the surrounding area and/or uses and the project
will be compatible with the existing land uses.
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to allow
creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or accommodate unique site
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-27
MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2018-00762 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR FIVE STAR FOODS

conditions. The building has two prominent features on its south side that create visual interest and
provide aesthetic focal points. One of the two is a rectangular decorative arch aligned west -east that
spans above the drive aisle that connects the vehicle entrance and the parking lot and dock areas. The
west end of the arch will be attached to the southeast corner of the building while the east end will be
supported by a column near the east property line. This arch is an aesthetic enhancement to an
industrial building; this type of building usually does not have such enhancements. Five Star Foods, as
the tenant, proposes this solution to not only fulfill the City's design goals, but their goal of having a
building that is impressive and reflective of their brand.
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity. The reduction in the setback requirement will not be a grant of special privilege as other
industrial users with similar aesthetic goals for their brand as Five Star Foods could request a Minor
Exception for consideration by the City. The reduction in the setback is for only the column that
supports a decorative arch and the impact of the encroachment will be negligible as it will be 0.5 feet
and the north -south horizontal dimension of encroachment is 5 feet. The remainder of the building will
be 58 feet from the east property line. Therefore, it is expected that the reduction in the building
setback will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
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.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-27
MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2018-00762 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR FIVE STAR FOODS

Page 4
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.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
