Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject General Plan Amendment is referred to as "the application." 2.

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 September 22, 2021, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to two parcels consisting of approximately 91.39-acres of land, located approximately 1,000 feet east of Santa Anita Avenue, 2,300 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue, north of 4ch Street and south of 61 Street. Said parcels of land are currently designated as both Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE); and b.

This amendment changes the land use for two project related parcels of land (APN: 0229-283-50 and 0229-283-51) from a split designation of General Industrial and Heavy Industrial to General Industrial; and d. This amendment necessitates amending the Zoning Map (DRC2020-00267) to change zoning designation of one project related parcel of land (APN: 0208-291-03) from a split zoning designation of Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) to Neo-Industrial (NI). e. In addition to the subject General Plan Amendment, the project scope includes Zoning Map Amendment DRC2020-00267, Tentative Parcel Map (SUBTPM20271), Design Review DRC2020-00202, Tree Removal Permit (DRC2020-0266), Minor Use Permit (DRC2021- 00315) to allow for the anticipated use and a Development Agreement (DRC2021-00180). 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced public hearing on September 22, 2021, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. Approving the General Plan Amendment is in the public interest as it corrects a discrepancy whereas the current project site, which comprises two parcels which are currently designated between two land use designations (General Industrial and Heavy Industrial), would be redesignated under one land use designation of General Industrial. Correcting this discrepancy in land use designations complies with General Plan Land Use Goal LU-9 which requires that the City "Foster a cohesive, healthy community through appropriate patterns and scales of development including complementary transitions between districts, neighborhoods and land uses." The development of the project, including the construction of a new public street as a condition of approval, will contribute positively to the surrounding area by permitting significant site plan and aesthetic improvements to an underutilized project site while also improving traffic circulation within the vicinity of the project area.

The General Plan Amendment, in addition to the Zoning Map Amendment, Tentative Parcel Map, Design Review, Tree Removal Permit, Minor Use Permit, and Development Agreement (collectively, the "Project") were environmentally reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's Local CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(d), the City determined that an EIR would clearly be required for the Project, and therefore prepared an environmental impact report (EIR) that focused on the potentially significant effects of the Project Based upon the facts and information contained in the EIR prepared for the Project and the entire record before it, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council certify the final EIR, adopt findings of fact pursuant to CEQA, and adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project, incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. A Notice of Availability advertising the availability of the Draft EIR was circulated for a period of 45-days beginning on May 7, 2021 and ending on June 21, 2021; and b. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15025(c), the Planning Commission has reviewed the EIR in both its draft and final forms, attached as Exhibits C and D of the staff report accompanying the Planning Commission's consideration of the Project and incorporated herein by this reference and all comments received regarding the EIR and, based on the whole record before it, finds that the EIR was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and. The Planning Commission further finds that this recommendation reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission; and C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) 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; and d. The custodian of records for the EIR, 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. 5.
