Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on October 28, 2009, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a parcel of land located at the north side of Arrow Route approximately 1,200 feet east of the 1-15 Freeway-APN: 0229-021-60. The parcel has an overall area of about 1,252,528 square feet (28.75 acres); b. The parcel is about 995 feet (east to west) by about 1,300 feet (north to south); C. The site is bound on the north by the Foothill Marketplace shopping center,while to the south, across Arrow Route, is a steel products manufacturing facility. To the east, is Air Liquide, a chemical manufacturing facility. The property is bound on the west by an industrial building and a self-storage facility; d. The applicant proposes to construct, in two (2) phases, a bus operations and maintenance facility (Omnitrans Mid-Valley Facility). This facility will be comprised of multiple buildings —two operations/maintenance buildings ("Access" and "Fixed Route"), with a combined floor area of approximately 159,000 square feet and three smaller buildings for various support activities, with a combined floor area of approximately 10,000 square feet for a total combined floor area of about 169,000 square feet; PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 09-41 DRC2007-00440— PITASSI ARCHITECTS, INC. October 28, 2009 Page 2 e. At Phase 1 of the project, the "Access" building and associated parking for the employees and the fleet vehicles will be constructed. Included in this phase will be all of the required improvements in the public right-of-way, including the new cul-de-sac. In the interim period between Phases 1 and 2, undeveloped areas between the "Access" vehicle parking area and Arrow Route will be landscaped with groundcover,while the remaining undeveloped rear half of the site will remain in its natural state. At Phase 2 of the project, the "Fixed Route" building, fueling depot, vehicle cleaning/detailing building, associated support buildings and equipment, and remaining parking will be constructed; f. Per Chapter III, Section 2.5.3.8,the maximum floor area ratio(FAR)in the General Industrial (GI) land use category is 60 percent. The net site area after the completion of the new cul-de-sac and associated public improvements will be 1,218,661 square feet (27.98 acres). The overall building coverage proposed will be 169,428 square feet(3.89 acres). Therefore,the FAR for this site will be 13.9 percent; g. The project is a bus operations and maintenance facility for Omnitrans, a public transit agency. As defined in Development Code Section 17.30.030, public safety and utility services are permitted in this Development District with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The applicant has filed Conditional Use Permit DRC2008-00664 for review and action; h. The facility will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; i. The facility will employ over 1,000 persons working during various shifts; j. For Phase 1,the applicant is required to provide 85 parking stalls and has provided 159 parking stalls. For Phase 2, the applicant is required to provide 355 parking stalls and has provided 457 parking stalls. At build-out, the applicant is required to provide a total of 440 parking stalls and has provided a total 616 parking stalls. In addition to these requirements,the applicant is also providing 111 spaces and 340 space at Phases 1 and 2, respectively,for a total of 451 spaces to be used for the storage of the agency's fleet vehicles; and k. The nearest residential district/use is a multi-family complex 0.40 mile to the north to northwest located at the northwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Park Lane. 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 the construction of a bus operations and maintenance facility. This 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, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The surrounding properties are zoned industrial or commercial and the surrounding uses are industrial-oriented or intensively commercial. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 09-41 DRC2007-00440— PITASSI ARCHITECTS, INC. October 28, 2009 Page 3 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. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration,together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that,with the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all comments received regarding the MitigatedNegative Declaration and, based on the whole record before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii)that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a signif icanf effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration. C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5.
