Recitals. 1. Islands Restaurant filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2002-00260, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 12th day of June 2002, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 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 June 12, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue with a street frontage of 320 feet on Foothill Boulevard and 200 feet on Milliken Avenue and is presently a rough graded pad within the developed Lowe's shopping center. The pad was designated for a sit-down restaurant in the master plan approved by the Planning Commission; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is the Rancho San Antonio Hospital Annex facility, the property to the south consists of the Lowe's Home Improvement Store with industrial buildings further to the south, the property to the east is occupied by Farmer Boys fastfood restaurant and Union Bank, and the property to the west across Milliken Avenue is vacant; and C. The application contemplates the operation of a sit-down restaurant with a bar;and d. The project design exhibits high quality architecture and will make a positive statement along Foothill Boulevard (Route 66); and e. The proposed restaurant with a bar will not have a detrimental impact on surrounding uses. The closest residential development is located on the north side of Church Street, PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 02-54 CUP DRC2002-00260 — ISLANDS RESTAURANT JUNE 12, 2002 Page 2 1,000 feet north of the site. Restaurant use is an appropriate land use along Foothill Boulevard which is the City's main east-west arterial street and primary commercial corridor; and f. The project will include Route 66 icons and bus shelter consistent with the recently adopted Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan; and g. The Planning Commission has previously issued a Negative Declaration for the site and there have been no substantial changes in the area to warrant further environmental review. 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. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. b. 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. C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 4. Environmental review was completed with the parcel maps for this site and surrounding development approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 1999, and February 13,2002. The Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been adopted, no further environmental review is required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The proposed restaurant development is within the scope of the prior Mitigated Negative Declarations, as the site was always planned for development with a restaurant and the size and scope have not changed. Based upon the facts and information contained in the prior Mitigated Negative Declarations, together with written and oral staff reports,the Planning Commission finds that there are no substantial changes in the project or the site and its surrounding conditions that would require revision to the previous Mitigated Negative Declarations. All environmental mitigation measures from the previously approved parcel maps shall apply to this project. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Division 1) Eliminate the stone wainscoting from the north elevation at the northwest comer of the building because it will be obscured by the high retaining wall adjacent to it and the cost of the materials would be better spent elsewhere on the building.
