NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows: 1. 'The 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 the Council during the above-referenced meeting on October 3, 1990, including written and oral staff reports, the Council hereby specifically finds as follows: (a) The application applies to 41.6 acres of land located on the west side of Rochester Avenue, North of Arrow Route, more specifically Assessor's Parcel Numbers 229-011-05, 06, 07, 16, 17, 18, 22 and 23, with a street frontage of 989.85 feet on Rochester Avenue and a street frontage of 933.23 feet on Arrow Route and a lot depth of 1612.98 feet from Arrow Route to the north property line and a lot depth of 1295.86 feet from Rochester Avenue Resolution No. 90-393 Page 2 to the west property line, and is presently improved with one small industrial building, approximately 6,000-7,000 square feet; and (b) The property to the north, east and west of the site are vacant or vineyards, and the property to the south and southeast is light industrial. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Council during the above-referenced meeting, including written and oral staff reports, the Council hereby finds that the mitigation measures as contained in the Environmental Initial Study. Part 2 shall be incorporated into the project as fol 1 ows: (a) That because the Rancho Cucamonga Sports Complex is being developed as a public facility and will be available for use by all members of the community, the project costs will be equitably distributed among the project beneficiaries; and (b) Because of the unique recreational opportunities afforded by the development of this facility, including the 4,000 seat stadium which will be used for minor league baseball as well as for concerts and other special events, both the quality and quantity of the existing recreational opportunities will be increased; and (c) Because it is anticipated that the project will generate approximately 2,080 trip-ends per day (two way), additional highway capacity and new highways will be constructed to facilitate the citywide traffic demand. In addition, a traffic signal and intersection widening will be provided at the project entry at Day Creek Boulevard; and (d) The project will increase traffic on the existing street system and will contribute towards the need for improvements (widening) of existing streets (i.e., Rochester Avenue) and the implementation of planned new highways (i.e., Day Creek Blvd.). These improvements will be installed when traffic volume warrants; and (e) The project will generate the need for approximately 1,724 new off-street parking spaces, which will be accommodated on site; and (f) Because the project adds to existing traffic volume which will increase volume to capacity ratios, street improvements are being pro- posed to existing and planned highways which will minimize the project's impact; and (g) Because the project will provide a new major recreational attraction within the City which may change current travel patterns, new access points onto the existing highway system will be created which may affect existing and future traffic patterns; however, the planned highway system will be able to accommodate the changes in traffic patterns; and Resolution No. 90-393 Page 3 (h) Additional traffic volume and access points may introduce increased chances of possible traffic conflicts and hazards. A traffic signal will be constructed when warranted at the main project access at Day Creek Blvd. Stop signs and appropriate traffic striping, signing, and traffic control devices will be provided in conjunction with the construction of the project; and (i) The use of the sports fields in the evening and weekends could result in an increase in noise level during the time of use; however, the project is located in the general industrial area of the community where the impact will be minimal during these times; and (j) The use of the sport fields at night might result in an increase in spill light or glare from the field lights which are to be mounted over 70 feet in height. The project is located in the general industrial area where the impact to adjacent land uses will be less significant. Glare control fixtures with metal halide lamps will be utilized, if necessary, to minimize the impact; and (k) The Sports Complex will require additional recreation and maintenance personnel to fully utilize and maintain the facilities. 4. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, the Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: (a) That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the Park and Recreation section of the General Plan; and (b) That 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. 5. The Council hereby finds and certifies that the project has been reviewed and considered in compliance with the California Environmental quality Act of 1970, and further, the Council hereby issues a mitigated Negative Declaration. 6. Approval of Development Review No. 90-04 is granted subject to the approval of Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment No. 90-03. In the event the Amendment is not approved, this approval shall become null and void. 7. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 above, the Council hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition contained in the Resolution. 8. The City Clerk of the Council shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. Resolution No. 90-393 Page 4 PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 3rd day of October, 1990.
