Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed
project is an industrial office/warehouse complex consisting of twelve (12) office/warehouse
buildings. The underlying General Plan designation is General industrial.
b. The proposed development,togetherwith 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 project site is vacant; the proposed land use is consistent with the
land use to the north and east and the expectations of the community. The zoning of the properties
to the north and east are General Industrial (GI) District (Subarea 2) and General Industrial (GI)
District(Subarea 3), respectively. The zoning of the properties to the southeast is Low-Medium(LM)
Residential District;
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code except the number of stalls for truck trailer parking/storage; the applicant has
submitted a request for a Minor Exception (Related file: DRC2008-00152). The proposed
development otherwise meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the design and
development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City. The proposal does
not contemplate any review and action for land use entitlements.

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessmentfor
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 Mitigated Negative 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 significant 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. 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.

• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of
approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant,
important, and unique prehistoric resources, following
appropriate CEQA guidelines.

must include, but not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository(i.e., San Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.

minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and construction to
minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern
California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be

location of fire hydrants:
a. The maximum distance between fire hydrants in commercial/industrial projects is 300-feet. No
portion of the exterior wall shall be located more than 150-feet from an approved fire hydrant.
For cul-de-sacs, the distance shall not exceed 100-feet.
b. The preferred locations for fire hydrants are:
I, At the entrance(s) to a commercial, industrial or residential project from the public
roadways.
2. At intersections.
3. On the right side of the street, whenever practical and possible.
4. As required by the Fire Safety Division to meet operational needs of the Fire District.
5. A minimum of forty-feet (40') from any building.
c. If any portion of a facility or building is located more than 150-feet from a public fire hydrant
measured on an approved route around the exterior of the facility or building, additional private

buffer of 10% required by RCFPD Standard 5-10 (formerly 9-8) can not be met by the two larger
buildings, consideration will be made by the fire district to enforce only the fire flow required by the
code. This flow reflects a 50-percent reduction for the installation of an approved automatic fire
sprinkler system in accordance with NFPA 13 with central station monitoring. Public fire hydrants
located within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project may be used to provide the required fire flow
subject to Fire District review and approval. Private fire hydrants on adjacent property shall not be
used to provide required fire flow.
3. Fire protection water plans are required for all projects that must extend the existing water supply to
or onto the site. Building permits will not be issued until public fire protection water plans are

FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
