f. The tenant for Building B is a bank, while it is anticipated that the tenants for the
other buildings will be retail and a fast food restaurant (Building A) and a mix of administrative,
professional, and medical offices (Building D); and
g. The design of the buildings with articulated horizontal and vertical wall surfaces,
parapets of varying height,tower elements,wood trellises over pedestrian areas,the drive-thru lane
at the bank, and the use of two primary building materials, including cultured stone veneer and
spandrel/vision glass,will exhibit high-quality architecture which will make a positive statement along
Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue; and
h. The Planning Commission previously approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration
on April 28, 1999, for the 140-acre Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan, of which this
site is a part. Furthermore, the Planning Commission previously issued a Negative Declaration for
the update of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park Master Plan and Parcel Map SUBTPM15630
on February 13, 2005, of which this site is a part. There have been no substantial changes in the
area to warrant further environmental review; and
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 uses are 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 uses, 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 uses comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. Environmental review was completed for this site and the surrounding development and
corresponding Parcel Map SUBTPM15630 approved by the Planning Commission on
April 28, 1999, and February 13, 2005, respectively. The California 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 development is within the scope of the prior Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Negative Declaration, as the site was always planned for development with a
development of this type and the size and scope have not changed. Accordingly, no further
environmental review is necessary. Based upon the facts and information contained in the prior
Mitigated Negative Declaration and Negative Declaration,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 Declaration or
Negative Declaration. All environmental mitigation measures from the previously approved and
updated Master Plan and parcel map 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:
