Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the

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 February 27, 2008, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the undeveloped property located on the south side of

320 feet deep and has an approximate 200-foot street frontage along 19th Street; and
b. The property is bordered by an existing residential development on the west and
south and by a proposed single-family subdivision to the east(DRC2006-00892 and SUBTT17769).
There are existing multi-family dwellings to the north across 19th Street; and
C. The site is of the appropriate size to accommodate the proposed improvements,
including the provision of required on-site parking and internal vehicular circulation; and
d. Churches and preschools are allowed in Low(L) Residential District subject to the

f. The proposed project complies with City Development Code requirements,
including setbacks, building height, and the provision for on-site parking; and
g. On October 4, 2007, the applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting to solicit
public comments. Nine members from the public attended and were generally accepting of the
proposed project:
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. The proposed
synagogue and preschool are consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which
encourages land uses to be distributed to meet local needs and be properly integrated into
surrounding context. The site is adequate in size to accommodate the use and the required parking.
Moreover, the proposed project is consistent with the City's design guidelines and complies with the
applicable development criteria contained in the Development Code.
b. The proposed synagogue 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. The area surrounding the synagogue site is developed with urban
uses and the proposed improvements will not pose adverse impacts to the adjacent residential
developments. Furthermore, the project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural
community plan area;therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of
plants or animals.
C. The proposed synagogue use complies with applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed improvements will comply with City requirements such as
setbacks, building height, and provision of on-site parking. Additionally,the site has direct access to
fully developed public streets of the appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the use.
4. 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 as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332, which covers in-fill developments which meet the following criteria: 1) they are
consistent with General Plan; 2) they are of less than 5 acres; 3) they have no value as habitat for
endangered, rare, or threatened species; 4) will not have significant effect on the environment
(traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality); and, 5) the site is adequately served by all required
utilities and public services. Having determined that the project meets all the above limitations, staff
finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the
environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of
exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of
exemption.
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.
