On the 13th day of September 2006, 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.

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on September 13, 2006, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located on 8th Street between Belmont Avenue and Cottage Avenue, APN: 0209-192-07 thru 12, with a street frontage of 248.48 feet and lot depth of 132.08 feet; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is developed with existing residential buildings; the property to the south consists of existing residential and industrial buildings;the property to the east consists of existing Industrial buildings; and the property to the west consists of existing residential buildings; and C. The application proposes a subdivision creating two lots out of six existing parcels totaling .92 net acre fronting on 8th Street; and d. The project, together with the recommended conditions of approval, complies with all development standards for the City of Rancho Cucamonga; 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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 06-84 SUBTPM17998 —WILLIAM J. LENT September 13, 2006 Page 2 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 Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 Minor Land Divisions because the land division creates less than four parcels and is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning code.
