NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED AND RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Council 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 substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing on February 17, 1988, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: (a) The Application applies to a 3.45 acre parcel of land basically rectangular in confisuration, located on the southwest corner of Base Line Road and Hellman Avenue. Said property is currently designated as Office/Professional on the Development Districts Map and is substantially vacant land except for an existing access easement that bisects the property in Resolution No. 88-092 Page 2 a north-south direction over which a two way driveway with central median is developed; and (b) The property to the north of the subject site is designated Low Residential (2-4 du/ac) on the Develolxaent Districts Hap and consists of a church site and surrounding Single Family Residential, the property to the south of the subject site is deaisnated Hadium Residential (8-14 du/ac) on the Develo~ent Districts Hap and consists of a multi-f~nLly apartment complex, the property to the east is designated Office/Professional on the DeveloI~nent Districts Map and consists of a Service Station and Office buildings, and the property to the west is designated Low Residential (2-4 du/ac) on the Develop- ment Districts Hap and and consists of the public library and Lions Parkl and (c) The Application requests the Amendment of the Develo~nent Districts Hap from Office/Professional to Neighborhood Commercial for the 3.45 acre parcell and (d) The Application would not be consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. could potentially result in significant a~verse ~npacts to persons and property in the immediate vicinity of the subject site, and would not be in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: (1) Severe site constraints limit the develol~nent potential of this site. Specifically, this site must share access to peripheral streets within an adjacent apartment complex. This shared access requirement limits the site's potential to be buffered from the adjacent apartment. The Applica- tion would permit land uses of greater intensity than under current Develo~nent Districts designation. Therefore, this Application has the potential to increase land use incompatibility of this site with the adjacent residential use, and this is contrary to the ob_~ectives of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. (ii) With the approval of this application, the project site would be subjected to land uses of greater intensity that would expose adjacent residents to greater amounts of noise, objectionable odors, light/ glare, truck traffic, litter and other nuisance factors. These conditions have the potential to result in significant adverse impacts to the people and property in the immediate vicinity of the project site, and therefore, would not be in the beat interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes that the application would not be consistent with the objectives of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to organize land uses to avoid creating nuisances among adjacent land uses and would not protect the health. safety, and welfare of the citizens of Rancho Cucamonga, California.

In conjunction with The Application, an Initial Study/Preliminary Enviror~ental Assessment, in conformity with the requirements with the California Environmental Qualiry Act, has been prepared; however, Council has determined that this project could have a si~niflcant adverse effect on the environment, and hereby declines to make a finding of no siEnificant ~mpact and to certify a Negative Declaration. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, this Council hereby resolves that pursuant to section 65853 to 65857 of the California Government Code, that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby denies on the 17th day of February, 1988.
