e. The proposed project is to construct an industrial/logistics building with a floor area of
120,628 square feet. It will consist of 112,897 square feet of warehousing floor area, 7,731 square
feet of office floor area (3,000 square feet on the first floor and 4,731 square feet on the second
floor); and
f. The project complies with the design standards described in the Development Code.
The proposed building will be of concrete tilt -up construction and includes painted concrete
panels, sandblasted concrete panels, reflective glazing, and decorative wood panels on the north,
south, and east elevations. The building meets the City's "360-degree" architectural design
standards; and
g. The project complies with the technical standards described in the Development Code
related to, for example, building height, floor area ratio, building setbacks, and parking; and
h. The project does not comply with the landscaping requirements as prescribed in the
Development Code. However, with a special condition of approval incorporated for the project
that requires adjustments to the project relating to modifications to the dimensions of the parking
stalls, quantity of parking stalls, and the width of the drive aisle along the south side of the project

will read as follows:
The applicant shall revise the Site Plan with the necessary modifications to the
dimensions of the parking stalls, the number of parking stalls, and/or
dimensions of the drive aisles to ensure that the project complies with the
minimum landscape coverage as described in the Development Code. The
modified Site Plan shall be included in the set of plans submitted to the City for
grading and construction plan check. If it is not possible to provide the required
landscape coverage, then the applicant shall make other adjustments to the
project including, but not limited to, reducing the floor area of the proposed
building.
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 and Industrial Park, which permits a range
of industrial activities. The project is the construction of a 120,628 square -foot industrial/logistics
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-40
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00546 — DUKE REALTY, INC.

Page 3
building which is consistent with the General Industrial and Industrial Park land use designations
as described in the General Plan.
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 and Industrial Park (IP) District. The proposed
industrial/logistic building is consistent with the land use intent of the General Industrial (GI)
District and Industrial Park (IP) District. The zoning of the adjacent sites to the property are also
within the General Industrial (GI) District or Industrial Park (IP) District and are (or will be)
developed with compatible buildings and uses.
i. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The building is designed for industrial/logistics operations. The project
complies with the required building setbacks, floor area ratio, and building height. The building
has been designed to meet the City's architectural standards. The project meets the minimum
parking, loading, and access requirements. Although the project does not comply with the
landscaping requirements as prescribed in the Development Code, a special condition of approval
has been incorporated for the project that will require adjustments to the project so that it complies
with the landscaping requirements.
C. 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 development of a similar scale
and intensity. Potential uses/operations within the proposed building and on the project site are
anticipated to comply with the performance standards described in the Development Code
relating to, for example, noise, lighting, and odors.
4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study (IS) of the potential environmental effects of the project was
prepared by the applicant's environmental consultant, T&B Planning Inc. The Initial Study was
peer reviewed by Psomas, an environmental consultant who conducted the peer review under
contract to the City. Based on the findings contained in that IS, it was determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures related to 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. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public
comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation
Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with,
the mitigation measures for the project.
During the public comment period, Staff received an email from the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) on May 29, 2019. That agency requested "all appendices or
technical documents related to the air quality, health risk, and greenhouse gas analyses and
electronic versions of all air quality modeling and health risk assessment files ... [including]
emission calculation spreadsheets and modeling input and output files." The request was
forwarded to the applicant's environmental consultant who, in turn, provided the information to
SCAQMD on May 30, 2019. This was acknowledged by a representative from SCAQMD. No
additional questions/comments have been received from SCAQMD.

Staff also received comments from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works on
June 10, 2019. The comments were advisory in nature to inform the City and the applicant of
infrastructure related to storm drains.
Staff reviewed the comments and the applicant's consultant's responses to the comments and/or
acknowledgment of the comments and has concluded that no revisions to, and/or recirculation of,
the IS/MND is required in response.
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 Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
