if a Variance, No. 87-03, described above in the title of this Resolution.
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject variance request is referred to as
"the application".
(ii ) On the 8th day of July, 1987, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
subject matter of the application, and said public hearing was concluded prior
to the adoption of this Resolution.
(iii ) All legal prerequisites 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 substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced July 8m 1987, hearing, including written and oral
staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby
specifically finds as follows:
a) The application applies to a 6.87 acre parcel in the Low
Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located west of the
intersection of Amethyst Street and Highland Avenue.
b) The properties to the north, east and west of the subject
site are presently designated for residential uses and are currently developed
with single family dwellings. The property to the south of the subject site
is designated for residential uses and is currently vacant.
c) The application has been submitted to allow the reduction
of the corner side yard setback from 27' to 23' for Lot 9 contrary to the

d) The variance as specified in the application will not
contradict the goals or objectives of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan or
Development Code and will not promote a detrimental condition to the persons
or property in the immediate vicinity of the subject site for the reasons as
follows:
(i ) The 27' corner side yard setback can be achieved by
shifting the street to the north. This would, however, result in an offset
intersection which would increase traffic conflicts and pose a potential
safety hazard. The granting of the variance would provide a safer
intersection than if the streets were offset.
(ii ) The creation of the substandard setback results from
the strict interpretation of the Development Code and City policy for street
alignments.
(iii ) The property has unique physical limitations (MWD
easement, existing residence, and existing street intersection) that are not
typically found under similar zoning classifications.
e) The granting of the subject variance will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious
to properties of improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
1, 2, 3 and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application with the
following conditions:
a) Approval of Variance 87-03 shall be contingent upon
approval of Tentative Tract 13367.
b) All applicable conditions if the Resolution of approval for
Tentative Tract 13367 shall apply.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 8TH DAY OF JULY, 1987.
