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 hearings on May 25, 2016, December 14, 2016 and June 28, 2017, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically
finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located approximately 1,100 feet north of 6th
Street and 395 feet north of the terminus of Santa Anita Avenue. The project site is comprised of 3
parcels,totaling approximately 17 acres in size. The site is approximately 880 feet(east to west) by
approximately 594 feet (north to south) and slopes from north to south with an elevation change
from 1,123 at the north to 1,114 at the south; and

b. The abutting properties to the north of the subject site contain the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe(BNSF)/Metrolink rail line and Storage Yard and Auction Facility(Copart)and are
located within the Heavy Industrial (HI) District; the properties to the east consists of the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe(BNSF) Rail Line and Southern California Edison (SCE) Facility that are located
within the Heavy Industrial (HI) District; the properties to the south and west contain SCE Corridors
with Power Transmission Lines and Towers and are located within the General Industrial (GI)
District; and
c. The applicant proposes to construct a logistics building with a floor area of 339,000
square feet. The building will consist of two (2) office areas (totaling 15,000 square feet),
manufacturing (15,000 square feet) and warehousing (309,000 square feet). The offices will be
located at the southwest and southeast corners of the building; and
d. The site will contain a dock loading area,with 36 dock doors,that will be located on
the south side of the building. There will be a trailer storage area with 36 trailer parking spaces
located adjacent to the loading dock. The dock and trailer storage areas will be screened by a
concrete tilt-up wall of 8 feet in height; and
e. Per Chapter 2, Figure LU-2 Land Use Plan of the General Plan,the maximum Floor
Area Ratio (FAR) in the General Industrial land use category is 60 percent. As the proposed
building will have a floor area of 339,000 square feet and the project site has an area of 696,465
square feet, the calculated FAR for the project will be approximately 48.67 percent.
f. The building is required to have 188 passenger vehicle parking stalls; 190 parking
stalls will be provided; and
g. Landscape coverage is 15.4 percent (107,400 square feet); the minimum
requirement is 10 percent (69,647 square feet) for this zoning district; and
h. The building will be of concrete tilt-up construction, painted with a palette of colors.
The building will have form liner textured concrete accents. The building will have secondary
building materials consisting of blue reflective glass with anodized aluminum mullions. Clerestory
reflective blue glass will be incorporated along the upper level of the south, west, and east
elevations.
i. The site is located south of and adjacent to the BNSF rail line. The Development
Code requires properties which adjoin existing or proposed lead or spur lines to provide rail service
access. Upon obtaining the current Industrial Track Guidelines from BNSF that specify standards for
railway designs, the applicant's engineer was unable to meet the guidelines as the vertical curves
and grade requirements necessary could not be achieved for this site. Staff received
correspondence from BNSF Railway Co. indicating multiple issues with the suitability for rail service
at this site. Due to the multiple noted engineering obstacles, including the lack of ability to meet
current Industrial Track Guidelines, BNSF stated that it is very unlikely to be approved for rail
service. Therefore, because of the multiple noted issues, the site will not be developed to
incorporate rail service; and
j. Primary access to the site will be provided via an extension of Santa Anita Avenue,
an existing public street that currently terminates about 395 feet south of the southern property line
of the project site. The extension will be approximately 510 feet in length, and will terminate with a

cul-de-sac bulb. Three (3) driveways will be constructed for vehicle access to the property. The
project includes the construction of a secondary,emergency access road. This road will connect the
project site (at the northwest corner) to an existing road that was constructed as a condition of
approval for an existing logistics building located about 815 feet to the west of the project site. Both
the extension of Santa Anita Avenue and the emergency access road will cross through the
aforementioned SCE properties/easements. The applicant has contacted SCE and is in the process
of preparing the necessary access agreements; and
k. In accordance with AB52, native communities were contacted to determine interest
in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as a result of the
project. The City was contacted via email on March 7, 2016, by the San Manuel Band of Mission
Indians, in reference to the Cultural Resource Assessment.A representative of San Manuel stated
they have reviewed the report and concur with the findings and recommendations with the addition
of "should tribal cultural resources be uncovered during construction, their office be notified for
consultation." The City was also contacted (letter dated March 10, 2016) by the Soboba Band of
Luiseno Indians who stated they do not have any specific concerns regarding known cultural
resources in the specified areas that the project encompasses, but they requested that the
appropriate consultation continue to take place between concerned tribes, project proponents, and
local agencies. They also requested that approved Native American Monitor(s) be present during
any future ground disturbing proceedings, including surveys and archaeological testing, associated
with this project. The Soboba Band wishes to defer to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians who
are in closer proximity to the project. Therefore, staff has included a mitigation that states, "Prior to
issuance of any grading permit, the applicant/permittee shall contact the San Manuel Band of
Mission Indians Cultural Resources Department to coordinate tribal participation in the
archaeological monitoring of the project. Tribal participants shall coordinate with the Project
Archaeologist to ensure that tribal cultural resources that may be encountered during ground
disturbances are identified, assessed and either protected in place or mitigated accordingly." With
this mitigation measure, impacts to the cultural resources will be less than significant; and
I. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared and was circulated on
April 20, 2016. Comments were received on May 20, 2016 from the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife (CDFW) regarding the Biological Resources section of the MND. The applicant and
their biologists addressed CDFW's comments and revised the MND by adding one (1) new
mitigation measure, modifying five (5) existing mitigation measures, and deleting one (1) previous
mitigation measure; and
m. The revised MND was recirculated on November 11,2007.The City received three
additional comment letters in response. Two letters were received from Lozeau Drury, LLP. on
behalf of the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) on December 8 and 13, 2016,
and a third letter was received from Jeremiah George on behalf of South Coast Chapter of California
Native Plant Society on December 14, 2016. The letters presented new concerns relating to the
project's impacts to air quality and biological resources. In January 2017,the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) contacted Staff by telephone and commented on the site's suitability as
habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly (DSFF). The applicant responded to all of the
comments, added a new mitigation measure to address impacts to the DSFF and one mitigation
measure was modified to increase the area of habitat to be preserved to reduce the impacts to the
Los Angeles Pocket Mouse (LAPM). The revised MND was recirculated on May 22, 2017; and
n. Based on the findings contained in the revised IS, City staff determined that, with
the imposition of mitigation measures (including the addition and/or modification of the mitigation

measures discussed above) related to aesthetics, biological resources,greenhouse gas emissions,
agricultural resources, cultural resources, air quality, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality,
and noise,there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on
the environment. The IS was circulated in compliance with Article 6 (specifically Sections 15072,
15073, and 15074) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). City staff provided public
notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A
Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance
with, the mitigation measures for the project. No revisions were made to the project in response to
the comments. The design of the proposed project remains the same as prior to receiving the
comments that were received.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,
this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan. The
proposal is to construct an industrial building of 339,000 square feet comprised of warehouse and
office area for storage and distribution purposes. The underlying General Plan designation is
General Industrial. The General Plan states that the General Industrial (GI) designation permits a
wide range of industrial activities that include wholesale, storage and office uses. The proposed
industrial building is designed for office/warehouse/storage uses and has a Floor Area Ratio(FAR)
of 48.67 percent, below the maximum FAR of 60 percent specified within the General Plan; and
The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the
district in which the site is located. The applicant proposes to construct an industrial building on a
17-acre site. The underlying General Plan designation is General Industrial and the site is located
within the General Industrial (GI) District, which allows for the proposed development; and
b. The proposed development is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions
of the Development Code. The proposed development is designed to comply with all standards
outlined in the Development Code, including, but not limited to, building and parking setbacks,floor
area ratio, building height, parking, dock and storage area screening, landscape coverage and
architecture; and
c. The proposed use, together with 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 potential land uses that would be associated with this project are
consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the
community. The subject property as well as the properties to the north, south, east, and west are
zoned General Industrial (GI) District. Furthermore, all activities will take place within an enclosed
building and will comply with related local, State and Federal requirements.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-65
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00797— RGA OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
June 28, 2017
Page 5
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 Manager 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 in the
attached Conditions of Approval and the Mitigation Measures listed below incorporated herein.

emissions of PM2.5 and precludes the installation of indoor or outdoor
wood burning devices(i.e. fireplaces/hearths)in new development on or
after March 9, 2009.
Biological Resources
1) Prior to any soil disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, a
qualified and permitted biologist shall conduct trapping surveys on the
project site. All captured LAPM shall be removed from the site and
relocated to a suitable offsite location. The offsite location must be
approved in advance by CDFW and the approval shall be submitted to
the City. The City shall also receive a report documenting the results of
this trapping and relocation effort, as well as the results of Mitigation
Measure#2 below.
2) All suitable pocket mouse burrows shall be flagged prior to construction,
and a qualified and approved biological monitor shall be present during
initial site construction in order to capture and relocate any remaining
LAPM or other special-status animal species that are found on the
project site.
3) Because of the loss of suitable LAPM habitat, this habitat of 3.2 acres
shall be mitigated at an offsite location at a 3:1 ratio. The applicant shall
purchase, conserve in perpetuity, and enhance/restore similar alluvial
scrub habitat within the watershed. All mitigation must be approved by
the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and in place prior to
construction.
4) Prior to any ground disturbance of the site, a current survey for Delhi
Sands flower-loving fly must be completed by a permitted biologist
following United States Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines. The survey
and results shall be submitted to the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Planning Department and United States Fish and Wildlife Service. If the
survey is negative, development can proceed prior to the next survey
season. If development has not proceeded by the next survey season,
another survey will be required. If a survey is positive, the project
proponent must obtain and incidental take permit or other take
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-65
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00797— RGA OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
June 28, 2017
Page 9
authorization from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service before
proceeding with the development
5) Prior to soil disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, a
preconstruction burrowing owl survey shall be conducted on the project
site.A copy of the survey and results shall be submitted to the City upon
completion. The survey shall conform to the most current official
guidelines, currently the March 2012 CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing
Owl Mitigation. If no owls are observed on the project site, construction
may continue without any additional mitigation. If owls are found on the
project site during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31),
CDFW shall be consulted to coordinate and establish suitable
avoidance buffers, if necessary, until after the nesting has completed. If
owls are found on the project site outside of the nesting season
(September 1 through January 31), CDFW shall be consulted to
coordinate the closure of active burrows and the relocation of the on-site
owls.
6) Prior to soil disturbance, vegetation removal and issuance of a grading
permit, a pre-construction clearance survey for nesting birds should be
conducted within three days of the start of any ground disturbing
activities to ensure that no nesting birds will be disturbed during
construction. A copy of the survey and results shall be submitted to the
City upon completion. The biologist conducting the clearance survey
should document a negative survey with a brief letter report indicating
that no impacts to active avian nests will occur. If an active avian nest is
discovered during the pre-construction clearance survey, construction
activities should stay outside of a 300-foot buffer around the active nest.
For raptor species, this buffer is expanded to 500 feet. It is
recommended that a biological monitor be present to delineate the
boundaries of the buffer area and to monitor the active nest to ensure
that nesting behavior is not adversely affected by the construction
activity. Once the young have fledged and left the nest, or the nest
otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, normal
construction activities can occur. If active nests are found, a qualified
biologist shall periodically monitor any confirmed nest sites (with no-
disturbance buffers)during construction to determine if grading activities
occurring outside the buffer zone disturb the birds and if the buffer zone
should be increased to prevent nest abandonment. The nests shall be
monitored until all nests have been abandoned (for non-Project related
reasons)or the young have fledged. If no nesting birds are found on-site
during this time period, construction activities may continue as planned.
7) Prior to soil disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, the
applicant shall consult with, and obtain a Jurisdictional Determination
from, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and submit the results of the
consultation and copy of the determination to the City. If the onsite
ephemeral stream is deemed to be jurisdictional waters, activities that
affect this waterway will require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act.The
project will also be required to obtain a water quality certification from
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Section
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-65
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00797— RGA OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
June 28, 2017
Page 10
401 of the Federal Clean Water Act. The applicant shall provide proof to
the City that this process has concluded and all required permits have
been obtained or were not required.
8) Prior to disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, the applicant
shall consult with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife(CDFW)
and submit the results of the consultation to the City. Impacts to the bed,
bank, or channel of streams or ponds may require a Streambed
Alteration Agreement(1602 Agreement)with the CDFW. The applicant
shall provide proof to the City that this process has concluded and all
requirements have been met.
Cultural Resources
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their
special qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of
the area.
• Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2
Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project
effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric
resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological
sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a
park or green space or paying an in-kind mitigation fee.
• Prepare a technical resources management report,documenting
the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
2) Conduct Archaeological Sensitivity Training for Construction Personnel.
The Applicant shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist who
shall conduct an Archaeological Sensitivity Training for construction
personnel prior to commencement of excavation activities. The training
session, shall be carried out by a cultural resources professional with
expertise in archaeology,who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's
Professional Qualifications and Standards, will focus on how to identify
archaeological resources that may be encountered during earthmoving
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-65
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00797— RGA OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
June 28, 2017
Page 11
activities, and the procedures to be followed in such an event. The
training session will include a Power Point presentation and/or handouts
for all attendees. The basic topics to be addressed in the session
include: a brief cultural and archaeological history of the area and the
Applicant's and City's cultural resource compliance obligations;training
in potential resources that may be encountered through the use of
photographs or other illustrations;the duties of archaeological monitors;
notification and other procedures to follow upon discovery of resources;
and, the general steps that would be followed to conduct a salvage
investigation if one is necessary.
3) Cease Ground-Disturbing Activities and Implement Treatment Plan if
Archaeological Resources Are Encountered. In the event that
archaeological resources are unearthed during ground-disturbing
activities, ground-disturbing activities shall be halted or diverted away
from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer
area of at least 25 feet shall be established around the find where
construction activities shall not be allowed to continue. Work shall be
allowed to continue outside of the buffer area. All archaeological
resources unearthed by project construction activities shall be evaluated
by a qualified professional archaeologist,who meets the U.S. Secretary
of the Interior's Professional Qualifications and Standards. Should the
newly discovered artifacts are determined to be prehistoric, Native
American Tribes/Individuals should be contacted and consulted and
Native American construction monitoring should be initiated. The
Applicant and City shall coordinate with the archaeologist to develop an
appropriate treatment plan for the resources. Treatment may include
implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove
the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis
or preservation in place. The landowner, in consultation with the
archaeologist, shall designate repositories in the event that
archaeological material is recovered.
4) Monitor Construction Excavations Monitor Construction Excavations for
Archeological Resources in Younger Alluvial Sediments. The Applicant
shall retain a qualified archaeological monitor, who will work under the
direction and guidance of a qualified professional archaeologist, who
meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications
and Standards. The archaeological monitor shall be present during all
construction excavations(e.g.,grading, trenching, or clearing/grubbing)
into non-fill younger Pleistocene alluvial sediments. Multiple earth-
moving construction activities may require multiple archaeological
monitors. The frequency of monitoring shall be based on the rate of
excavation and grading activities, proximity to known archaeological
resources, the materials being excavated (native versus artificial fill
soils), and the depth of excavation, and if found, the abundance and
type of archaeological resources encountered. Full-time monitoring can
be reduced to part-time inspections if determined adequate by the
project archaeologist.
5) Prepare Report Upon Completion of Monitoring Services. The
archaeological monitor under the direction of a qualified professional
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-65

June 28, 2017
Page 12
archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's
Professional Qualifications and Standards, shall prepare a final report at
the conclusion of archaeological monitoring. The report shall be
submitted to the Applicant and the South Central Costal Information
Center, and representatives of other appropriate or concerned agencies
to signify the satisfactory completion of the project and required
mitigation measures. The report shall include a description of resources
unearthed, if any, evaluation of the resources with respect to the
California Register and CEQA, and treatment of the resources.
6) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e.,
paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring is appropriate, the program 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.
7) Conduct Paleontological Sensitivity Training for Construction Personnel.

set forth by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. The paleontological
monitor shall be present during all construction excavations (e.g.,
grading, trenching, or clearing/grubbing) into non-fill older Pleistocene
alluvial deposits. Multiple earth-moving construction activities may
require multiple paleontological monitors. The frequency of monitoring
shall be based on the rate of excavation and grading activities, proximity
to known paleontological resources and/or unique geological features,
the materials being excavated (native versus artificial fill soils), and the
depth of excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of
paleontological resources and/or unique geological features
encountered. Full-time monitoring can be reduced to part-time
inspections if determined adequate by the qualified professional
paleontologist.
9) Cease Ground-Disturbing Activities and Implement Treatment Plan if
Paleontological resources are encountered. In the event that
paleontological resources and or unique geological features are
unearthed during ground-disturbing activities, ground-disturbing
activities shall be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so
that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least 25 feet shall be
established around the find where construction activities shall not be
allowed to continue. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the
buffer area. The Applicant and City shall coordinate with a professional
paleontologist, who meets the qualifications set forth by the Society of
Vertebrate Paleontology to develop an appropriate treatment plan for
the resources.Treatment may include implementation of paleontological
salvage excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent
laboratory processing and analysis or preservation in place. At the
paleontologist's discretion and to reduce any construction delay, the
grading and excavation contractor shall assist in removing rock samples
for initial processing. Any fossils encountered and recovered shall be
prepared to the point of taxonomic identification and catalogued and
curated to a suitable museum or other repository with a research
interest in the materials, such as the San Bernardino County Museum or
Western Science Center. If no institution accepts the fossil collection,
they shall be donated to a local school in the area for educational
purposes. Accompanying notes, maps, and photographs shall also be
filed at the repository and/or school.
10) Prepare Report Upon Completion of Monitoring Services. Upon
completion of the above activities, the professional paleontologist shall
prepare a report summarizing the results of the monitoring and
salvaging efforts, the methodology used in these efforts, as well as a
