A. Recitals. (i) E & R Rancho Pacific, Inc. has filed an application for the issuance of Variance No. 93-06 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application. " (ii) On the 13th day of October 1993, 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. (iii) 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 substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on October 13, 1993, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: (a) The application applies to property located on the east side of Hermosa Avenue, south of 8th Street with a street frontage of 210 feet and lot depth of 563 feet and is presently improved with a single family residence; and (b) The property to the north of the subject site is designated for industrial uses and is developed with legal non-conforming single family residences. The property to the south is designated for industrial uses and is developed with a legal non-conforming single family residence and is vacant. The property to the east is designated for flood PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 93-88 VAR 93-06 - E & R RANCHO PACIFIC, INC. October 13, 1993 Page 2 control purposes and is developed with the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel. The property to the west is designated for industrial uses and is developed with a church and a legal non-conforming single family residence. (c) Few industrial parcels within the City have residential areas on two sides of the property. To require the 45-foot building setback from the residential area would create a hardship on the property inconsistent with the objectives of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. (d) From the residences, the buildings along the property line will appear as an 8-foot high wall which is permitted by the Industrial Area Specific Plan. (e) The buildings located at the property line provide a buffer between the residences and the drive aisles of the mini-storage, thereby locating the activity area away from the residences consistent with the intent of the 45-foot setback requirement. Under the Industrial Area Specific Plan, the drive aisles could be located 5 feet off the property line. (f) The proposed use is less intensive than other uses permitted in the subarea. Manufacturing and warehouse uses have the potential to generate more noise, vibration, and odor than the mini-storage facility. The mini-storage facility is more compatible with the residential uses, consistent with the intent of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. 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) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. (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.
