east is developed with parking for the Quakes Stadium, and the property to the west is occupied by
BHP Steel; and
C. The project is part of a Master Plan for which a Congestion Management
Program/Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared in order to determine whether the project will cause
an increase in vehicle trips or traffic congestion in excess of projections for the adopted land use.
The project will be required to install frontage street improvements in their ultimate configuration, per
City ordinance. This will reduce traffic related impacts to a less than significant level; and
d. The project will utilize a truck loading area fronting Arrow Route, which will be
screened behind a 14-foot high screen wall; and
e. Storm drain improvements necessary to accommodate the project are not in excess
of that provided by the master plan of storm drainage; and
f. The project, together with the recommended conditions of approval, complies with
all minimum development standards for the City of Rancho Cucamonga; and
g. The project will provide warehousing and distribution facilities of substantial size
conveniently located relative to the industrial area and regional circulation routes.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,this
Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; and
d. 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.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.

b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project,which are listed
below as conditions of approval.
C. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the
proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources orthe habitat upon
which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning
Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of
