A. Recitals. 1. Bridge Point Rancho Cucamonga, LLC filed an application for Zoning Map Amendment No. DRC2020-00267, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Zoning Map Amendment is referred to as "the application." 2. On September 22, 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application DRC2020-00267 and issued Resolution No. 21-XX recommending to the City Council that the associated General Plan Amendment No. DRC2020-00213 be approved. 3. 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 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 41 Street and south of 6'" Street. Said parcels of land are currently designated as both Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE); and b. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Exhibit K PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-58 ZMA DRC2020-00267 — Bridge Point Rancho Cucamonga, LLC September 22, 2021 Page 2 Site Industrial Heavy Industrial (HI) and General Industrial Employment (IE) Warehouse, Industrial (GI) and Neo-Industrial (GI) Commercial District Retail, and former vineyard North Industrial Heavy Industrial (HI) Industrial Employment (IE) District South Industrial Industrial Industrial (Crossroads Business Park Specific Plan) (City of Ontario) West Industrial General Industrial (GI) Industrial Employment (IE) and Neo-Industrial (NI) District East Industrial and Heavy Industrial (HI) and Industrial Employment (IE) Public Facility Civic/Regional and Neo-Industrial (NI) District C. This amendment changes the zoning designation for two project related parcels of land (APN: 0229-283-50 and 0229-283-51) from Neo-Industrial (NI) District and Industrial Employment (IE) District to Neo-Industrial (NI) District; and d. This amendment necessitates amending the General Plan Land Use Map (DRC2020-00213) to change land use designation for the two project related parcels of land (APN: 0229-283-50 and 0229-283-51) from the current split designation of General Industrial and Heavy Industrial to General Industrial; and e. In addition to the subject Zoning Map Amendment, the project scope includes General Plan Amendment DRC2020-00213, Tentative Parcel Map (SUBTPM20271), Design Review DRC2020-00202, Tree Removal Permit (DRC2020-0266), Minor Use Permit (DRC2021- 00315) and Development Agreement (DRC2021-00180). 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. That the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in terms of access, size, and compatibility with existing land use in the surrounding area. With approval of Zoning Map Amendment DRC2020-00267, the project will be compatible with the existing and future land uses surrounding the project site. The proposed Neo-Industrial (NI) designation is compatible with the surrounding designations; and b. That the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan as the proposed Zoning Map Amendment is consistent with General Plan. Approving the Zoning Map Amendment corrects a discrepancy whereas the current project site, which comprises two parcels which are currently split zoned between Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) would PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-58 ZMA DRC2020-00267 — Bridge Point Rancho Cucamonga, LLC September 22, 2021 Page 3 be redesignated under one zoning district, Neo-Industrial (NI). Correcting this split -zoning discrepancy 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.'; and C. That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties. The amendment will change the zoning designation for two project related parcels of land (APN: 0229-283-50 and 0229-283-51) from the current designation which is split between the Neo-Industrial (NI) District and Industrial Employment (IE) District to Neo-Industrial (NI) District, for which a portion of the site is already currently zoned. 4. The Zoning Map Amendment, in addition to the General Plan 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 for the Project, adopt findings of fact pursuant to CEQA, and adopt the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Project, 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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
