OF 1.61 ACRE IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK DISTRICT (SUBAREA 7),
LOCATED AT THE SOUTH SIDE OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD BETWEEN
MILLIKEN AVENUE AND MAYTEN STREET; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0229-011-85.
A. Recitals.
1. Panattoni Development Company, LLC filed an application for the issuance of
Development Review DRC2004-01126, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in
this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of September 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on said application and concluded said meeting 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 meeting on September 28, 2005, including written and oral staff reports, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a parcel of about 50,000 square feet located in the
Industrial Park District (Subarea 7), at the south side of Foothill Boulevard about 1,600 feet east of
Milliken Avenue, with an east-west dimension of about 300 feet, and a north-south dimension of
about 200 feet. The property has been cleared of all vegetation except for ruderal grasses; and
b. The property is part of the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park, an existing master
planned commercial and industrial complex of 140 acres that is anchored by Lowes Home
Improvement (warehouse retail) and includes Carrow's Restaurant, Farmer Boys Restaurant, and
Union Bank of California; and
C. The properties immediately to the north and south of the subject site are vacant.
The property to the east is improved with Carrow's Restaurant and on the property to the west is a
similar-sized commercial building under construction (related file: Development Review
DRC2004-00404); and
d. The application contemplates the construction of a one-story building of about
7,000 square feet; and

e. The building design, with articulated horizontal wall surfaces, parapets of varying
heights, towers at the southwest and southeast corners of the building, two primary building
materials, and several accent features that include decorative medallions and a wood trellis on the
south and west sides, exhibits high-quality architecture and will make a positive statement along
Foothill Boulevard; and
f. The application contemplates commercial tenants such as a restaurant and retail
uses. These are permitted land uses along Foothill Boulevard, which is one of the City's primary
east-west arterial streets and a significant commercial corridor, and
g. The site is designated as a Suburban Parkway EnhancementArea by the Foothill
Boulevard-Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66
Visual Improvement Plan designates a"Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area"along this portion of
Foothill Boulevard,featuring colored pavement emblazoned with the Route 66 logo,special sidewalk
treatment, artwork, and a historic post and cable roadway safety barrier(to discourage people from
crossing Foothill Boulevard). The "Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area" is limited to a 45-foot
stretch that has already been enhanced (except for pavement emblazoning) by the adjoining
Carrow's restaurant; therefore, the proposed project would be installing normal parkway
improvements; 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 Tentative Parcel Map
SUBTPM15630 on February 13, 2002, 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 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 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. An environmental review was completed for this site and surrounding development and
corresponding parcel map approved by the Planning Commission on April 28, 1999, and
February 13, 2002, 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 developmentofthis 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 05-90
DRC2004-01126 — PANATTONI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC
September 28, 2005
Page 3
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 have been implemented.
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:
