CHARLES SMITH AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -
APN: 0229-283-06 AND 0229-271-33.
A. Recitals.
1. Carter Redish filed an application for the issuance of Development Review DRC2006-01012, 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 13th day of August 2008, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said 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 bythe 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 August 13,2008, including written and oral staff reports,togetherwith public testimony,this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The subject site is vacant and is dominated by short grasses and shrubs and is generally
level with a subtle slope from the north to south. It is bordered by the 1-15 Freeway to the east, by Charles
Smith Avenue to the west, by vacant industrially zoned land to the north and by 6th Street to the south; and
b. The applicant proposes to construct a 28,860 square foot office/warehouse building. The
site is located on and served by a fully developed public street of the appropriate size and configuration to
accommodate the proposed use. Vehicular access to the project will be via Charles Smith Avenue. The
architecture of the proposed building is consistent with other industrial buildings located along the
1-15 Freeway. Keyfeatures include building "pop-outs"with vision glass at equal intervals along the building
elevations, concrete reveals, sand blasting, and an enhanced primary entrance defined by vision glazing;and
C. The proposed building will include one dock-high loading bay and adjacent parking space for
a truck and on-site parking for 31 standard size vehicles, one over the minimum requirement; 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 development 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 project is to
construct an industrial building and is consistent with development in the vicinity.

b. The proposed development, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, orwelfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity. The surrounding properties are zoned industrial and the surrounding uses are industrial-oriented.
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed development meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and
the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City.
4. 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 the General Plan; 2) they are of
less than 5 acres; 3)they have no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; 4) they 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 staff's determination of exemption.
