A. Recitals.

Resolution No. 88-174, thereby approving, subject to specified conditions, a
variance to reduce the required parking setback along Foothill Boulevard from
50 feet to 40 and along the south property line from 15 feet to 5 feet for a
retail center and service station in the Community Commercial District
(Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan.
(ii ) The Planning Commission's approval of the application was
timely appealed by adjoining residents to the City Council .
(iii ) On November 2, 1988, the City Council conducted a duly noticed
public hearing on the application and continued that hearing to December 7,
1988 and referred the revised site plans to this Commission for review to
address the appelant's concerns.
(iv) On November 30, 1988, 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.
(v) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.

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 public hearing on November 30, 1988, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:

(b) The property to the north and east is designated for
commercial uses and is developed with commercial buildings. The property to
the west is designated for commercial uses and is vacant. The property to the
south is designated for residential uses and is developed with condominiums.
(c) Due to the small size of the parcel with the limited
points of access, it is essential to provide adequate buffering between the
proposed retail and service station uses and the residential use to the
south. In order to achieve the desired buffering, the parking is aligned in
such a manner that it results in an encroachment into the Vineyard Avenue
setback.
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 paragraph 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows:
(a) That strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement of the specified regulation would result
in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the
Development Code and the Foothill Boulevard Specific
Plan.
(b) That there are exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property involved or to the intended use of the
property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same district.
(c) That strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district.
(d) That the granting of the Variance will not
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties classified
in the same district.
(e) That the granting of the Variance will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraph
1, 2 and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
