Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on January 5,2022, including written and oral staff reports,togetherwith public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The approximate 35-acre project site is located approximately 650 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue, north of Napa Street.The project site is largely vacant,with an existing rail spur running in a north-south orientation roughly bisecting the site which serves properties to the south and existing Southern California Edison (SCE)overhead powerlines traversing the site in an east- west orientation. The existing rail spur is proposed to remain, however the existing overhead SCE powerlines are proposed to be relocated, running east-west at the northern property line within the western portion of the project site, at which point the lines would turn south, and near the frontage of the property be made to run roughly parallel to Napa Street within the eastern portion of the project site.The proposed project includes the construction of one new north-south street which will be located along the westerly property line of the project area and will be designed to eventually Resolution No. 2022-002 — Page 1 of 5 connect to a future east-west street located immediately south of the Metrolink railway and parallel to Napa Street; and b. The existing General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning* Industrial Employment Industrial Employment District (for (IE) District(for portion portion within City); General within City); Regional Site Vacant Industrial (GI)/ General Industrial (I- Industrial (IR) (within G) (for portion within County)and General County/Fontana SOI) Industrial (M-2) (for portion within Fontana SOI) North Industrial Industrial Employment District Neo-Industrial (NI) District Regional Industrial (IR); Industrial General Industrial (GI), Special Kaiser Commerce South (County/Fontana Development(SD)/General Center Specific Plan SOI) Industrial (I-G) (within (KC/SP)/General County/Fontana SO[) Industrial (M-2) (within County/Fontana SOI) Industrial and Industrial Employment West East Etiwanda Industrial Employment District (IE) District Creek Open Space (OS) and General Regional Industrial East San Sevaine Industrial (GI) (within (IR)/Open Space-Natural Channel County/Fontana SOI) (OS-N) (within County/Fontana SOI) *Prior to the adoption of Ordinance 982,the Industrial Employment(IE)zoning district was referred to as the Heavy Industrial(HI)district and the Neo-Industrial NI district was referred to as the General Industrial GI district. C. The project is for the development of two new industrial warehouse buildings on two new parcels of land: Building A will total approximately 500,648 square feet including approximately 10,000 square feet of office space, and Building B will total approximately 155,230 square feet and include an office area of approximately 10,000 square feet square feet; and d. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20251 is for the subdivision of the approximate 35- acre project site into two parcels of land. Proposed Building A, totaling approximately 500,648 square feet will be located on Parcel I which will total an area of approximately 26.73 acres. Building B, totaling approximately 155,230 square feet will be located on Parcel II which will total an area of approximately 8.67 acres.The project will also result in the construction of a new north-south public street to be located along the projects westerly boundary and which will connect Napa Street to future road way expansions within the Southeast Industrial Quadrant(SEIQ)of the City. Vehicular access to both parcels will be provided from Napa Street. The new north-south public street will provide additional access to Parcel II; and Resolution No. 2022-002 — Page 2 of 5 e. In addition to the subject Tentative Parcel Map, the project scope includes: Annexation(DRC2020-00185)to annex APN: 0229-291-46 and a portion of APN:0229-291-23 into the City of Rancho Cucamonga; General Plan Amendment(DRC2020-00184)to assign a land use designation to parcels, and portions thereof to be annexed, and to redesignate portions of the project area from Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Heavy Industrial, and remove a Floating Park designation for APN: 0229-291-54; Pre-Zoning (DRC2020-00186) to assign a pre-zoning designation to those parcels and portions thereof to be annexed; and Design Review(DRC2020- 00177), Conditional Use Permit(DRC2021-00317)and Uniform Sign Program(DRC2020-00178)to permit the use, construction and signage of the proposed project. The project scope also includes the proposal by the applicant of a Development Agreement (DRC2021-00180; and 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The General Plan permits a variety of land uses within industrial districts, such as warehouses, distribution centers and similar uses. The Development Code, as affected by Ordinance 982, permits Storage Warehouses upon the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map will be consistentwith the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The proposed two parcel tentative parcel map and the proposed industrial warehouse development comply with all requirements of the General Plan and Development Code. Each parcel complies with the 0.5-acre minimum lot size and 100-foot minimum lot width outlined in Table 17.36.040-1 of the Development Code.Additionally, the proposed industrial warehouse development complies with all of the related development standards including building setbacks, lot coverage, height, parking and design; and C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The project site is well suited for the proposed industrial warehouse development as it is located along multiple street frontages, thereby providing multiple points of ingress/egress and emergency services access; and d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The proposed Project complies with applicable size and setback requirements under the Development code. e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. An Environmental Impact Report was submitted as part of the review of the project which demonstrated that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment upon implementation of identified mitigation measures; and f. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems.The subdivision of the project site is not expected to cause serious public health issues,as the proposed tentative parcel map is for the subdivision of the project site into two separate parcels in order to create two separate parcels for two new proposed industrial warehouse buildings.The review of the project included the evaluation of environmental studies which concluded that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment; and Resolution No. 2022-002 — Page 3 of 5 g. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with any easement acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision.The subject property does not contain any easements that would limit access to or use of the project site; and 4. The Tentative Parcel Map, in addition to the General Plan Amendment,Annexation, Pre- Zoning, Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Uniform Sign Program and Development Agreement (collectively, the "Project") were environmentally reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, 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. By separate Resolution No. 2022-006, the City Council has: (i) made the required CEQA findings and determinations, (ii) certified the Final EIR; and (iii) adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project. Resolution No. 2022-006 is incorporated herein by reference, and a made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. The documents and other materials that constitute the record on which this determination was made are located in the Planning Department and are in the custody of the Planning Director. Further, the mitigation measures set forth therein are made applicable to the Project. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Council hereby approves the application for Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20251 subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval,attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6.
