SQUARE FEET ON AN EXISTING 41,821 SQUARE FOOT SITE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (NC) DISTRICT, LOCATED AT THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF HAVEN AVENUE AND THE 210 FREEWAY;AND
MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0201-272-23.
A. Recitals.
1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit
DRC2008-00464, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,the subject
Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of January 2009, 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.
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 January 28, 2009, including written and oral staff reports,together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The 41,821 square foot site is located at the northeast comer of Haven Avenue and the
210 Freeway and generally slopes from north to south. The parcel was purchased from Caltrans and is
now being incorporated into the existing Haven Village commercial center. The triangularly shaped site
is bordered by Haven Avenue to the west,the 210 Freeway to the south and the existing Haven Village
commercial center to the north; and
b. The applicant proposes constructing two multi-tenant retail buildings totaling
6,484 square feet, one of which will include a drive-thru lane. One building will be adjacent to
Haven Avenue and the other will be adjacent to the 210 Freeway exit ramp; and
C. The architecture of the buildings is designed to compliment the existing buildings on
the site and includes the use of wood siding and a river rock wainscoting. The buildings meet all
applicable Development Code standards including setbacks and building and wall heights. The two
buildings will be connected by a wood sided tower element,through which access will be provided to an
outdoor seating area; and
d. With the development of the subject site, the required parking will be 588 stalls. With
completion of the two buildings, the project site will have 608 stalls,thereby having 20 surplus parking
spaces in the Haven Village Commercial Center, thereby exceeding the minimum requirement; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 09-07

e. There is a shared parking and access agreement in place between the subject site and
all the other parcels in the center, thereby ensuring adequate parking distribution for all uses.
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.
b. The proposed 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.
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development
Code.
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 development which meet the following criteria: 1)The project is consistent with the General
Plan and Development Code; 2)The project site is less than 5 acres in size; 3)The project site has no
value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; 4)The development of the project will not
result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality; and 5) The site is
adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The project entails developing two
buildings totaling 6,484 square feet on a site that is less than an acre in size. Staff finds that there is no
substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment in that the
proposed development is part of a much larger existing development and will be fully integrated into that
development. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of
exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff's 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.
