PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-37
DR DRC2018-00023 — CHRIST'S CHURCH OF THE VALLEY
June 26, 2019
Page 3
Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows
a. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan. The proposal is to expand
an existing church facility. The underlying General Plan designation is Mixed Use (MU) District, which
permits a wide variety of uses including churches.
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of this Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located. The project site is within the Office Professional
(OP) District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which permits churches subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit. The project is for the expansion of an existing church use that was approved
by Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00787. The applicant has requested to expend the church by
adding a new 36,000 square foot auditorium and 11,400 square foot children's building. A
Conditional Use Permit (Modification) is included as part of the entitlement review process.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of this
Development Code. The proposed development complies with all standards outlined in the
Development Code, including building and parking setbacks, average landscape depth, lot coverage,
parking, landscape coverage, site planning, and architectural requirements.
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 project includes an environmental review of the project's potential
impacts on the environment. That report determined that with the inclusion of mitigation measures
the project would not have a negative impact on the surrounding land uses.
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 applicant contracted with Placeworks to prepare an Initial Study of the
potential environmental effects of the project. The City subsequently contracted with The Altum
Group to conduct a peer review of the project's Initial Study. Based on the findings contained in that
Initial Study, it was determined that with the imposition of mitigation measures related to Air Quality,
Green House Gases, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, and Tribal Cultural Resources, there
was 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. 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.

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.
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
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
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 Planning Commission'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.
The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

Section XI.D(Water Quality Management Plan Requirements).8(Groundwater Protection):
Treatment Control BMPs utilizing infiltration [exclusive of incidental infiltration and BMPs not
designed to primarily function as infiltration devices (such as grassy swales, detention basins,
vegetated buffer strips, constructed wetlands, etc.)] must comply with the following minimum
requirements to protect groundwater:
a. Use of structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
ground water quality objectives.
b. Source control and pollution prevention control BMPs shall be implemented to protect
groundwater quality. The need for pre-treatment BMPs such as sedimentation or filtration should be
evaluated prior to infiltration.
c. Adequate pretreatment of runoff prior to infiltration shall be required in gas stations and large
commercial parking lots. (NOTE: The State Water Quality Control Board defines a large commercial
parking lot as '100,000 sq. ft. or more of commercial development to include parking lot (with 100 or
more vehicle traffics), OR, by means of 5,000sgft or more of allowable space designated for parking
purposes').
d. Unless adequate pre-treatment of runoff is provided prior to infiltration structural infiltration
treatment BMPs must not be used for areas of industrial or light industrial activity{77), areas subject
to high vehicular traffic (25,000 or more daily traffic); car washes; fleet storage areas; nurseries; or
any other high threat to water quality land uses or activities.
e. Class V injection wells or dry wells must not be placed in areas subject to vehicular(78) repair or
maintenance activities(79), such as an auto body repair shop, automotive repair shop, new and
used car dealership, specialty repair shop (e.g., transmission and muffler repair shop) or any facility
that does any vehicular repair work.
f. Structural infiltration BMP treatment shall not be used at sites that are known to have soil and
groundwater contamination.
g. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any
water supply wells.
h. The vertical distance from the bottom of any infiltration structural treatment BMP to the historic
high groundwater mark shall be at least 10-feet. Where the groundwater basins do not support
beneficial uses, this vertical distance criteria may be reduced, provided groundwater quality is
maintained.
i. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause a nuisance or pollution as defined in Water
Code Section 13050,
42. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for non-residential projects the applicant shall show on the
electrical plans and the permitted grading plan set the location for a future installation of an Electric
