A. Recitals.
1. Scheu Management Corporation filed an application for the approval of Tentative
Parcel Map SUBTPM19450, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 24th day of September 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly notice public hearing on the application and concluded said public
hearing on that date.
3. 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 the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on September 24, 2014, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 13.23-acre vacant undeveloped parcel located at the
northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and 7th Street; and
b. The abutting properties to the north and east of the subject site contain industrial
buildings and are located within the General Industrial (GI) District; the properties to the south,
across from 7th Street, consists of multi-tenant industrial and office buildings that are located
within the General Industrial (GI) District; the properties to the west, across Archibald Avenue,
contain multi-tenant industrial and office buildings and are located within the General Industrial
(GI) District; and
C. The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject 13.23-acre parcel into three
parcels, creating a 2.13-acre parcel (Parcel 1), a 4.82-acre parcel (Parcel 2) and a 5.89-acre
parcel (Parcel 3). Parcel 1, which is adjacent to Archibald Avenue and 7th Street, is approximately
530 feet wide by 175 feet long. Parcel 2, which is south of and abutting Acacia Street and
Cottage Avenue, is approximately 450 feet wide by 615 feet long. Parcel 3, which is adjacent to

d. The proposed subdivision is being requested in conjunction with the
development of six (6) industrial buildings totaling 171,941 square feet.
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 the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan and Development
Code. The proposed tentative parcel map is in conjunction with a proposal to construct, in two (2)
phases, six (6) industrial warehouse buildings of 81,910 square feet (Building 6/Phase 1) and
90,031 square feet (Buildings 1 through 5/Phase 2) with a combined floor area of 171,941 square
feet. The underlying General Plan designation is General Industrial; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map is consistent with the
General Plan and Development Code because the lots being created meet the minimum parcel
dimensions and size requirements; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed as the
subject property is currently vacant and does not have any geographical constraints. The property
generally slopes from north to south and is surrounded by existing industrial and office
development to the north, south, east, and west; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The design of the site is in
compliance with the General Plan and Development Code requirements and is consistent with
neighboring existing industrial developments; and
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The initial study that was prepared for this project, which includes, but is not limited to an analysis
of air quality, water quality, agricultural resources, biological resources and transportation/traffic
indicates that the proposed development will not create significant impacts that might cause
serious public health problems; and
f. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with any easement
acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the
proposed subdivision. The project involves the completion of adjacent right-of-way (7th Street and
Acacia Avenue) that will be used for vehicular access to the site. These off-site improvements as
well as all on-site improvements are consistent with the surrounding development.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 14-39
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19450 — SCHEU MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
September 24, 2014
Page 3
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.
