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 applicant submitted an initial study(prepared by Psomas and peer reviewed
by MIG)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 related to, for
example, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, noise, and
transportation/traffic, 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.
Two letters were received in response to the circulated Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration.
One letter was from the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the other letter was from the
Native American Heritage Commission. The letters were forwarded to the environmental consultant
that prepared the Initial Study. The environmental consultant prepared response comments which
were forwarded to the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the Native American Heritage
Commission. The consultant reviewed and addressed each concern with the conclusion that no
further mitigation or analysis was required. The Native American Heritage Commission and the
Department of Toxic Substance Control agreed with the environmental consultant's explanation and
had no further comments.
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.
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
below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) Approval is for site plan and architectural review of a 611,573 square foot
industrial building on a vacant parcel of 26.63 acres in the General Industrial
(GI) District on the north side of Arrow Route, about 1,200 feet east of
Interstate 15, and about 2,600 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue —APN: 0229-
021-60.
Environmental Mitigation
Air Quality
1) All clearing, grading, earth-moving, or excavation activities shall cease when
winds exceed 25mph per SCAQMD guidelines in order to limit fugitive dust
emissions.
2) The contractor shall ensure that all disturbed unpaved roads and disturbed
areas within the Project are watered at least three (3) times daily during dry
weather. Watering,with complete coverage of disturbed areas, shall occur at
least three times a day, preferably in the midmorning, afternoon, and after
work is done for the day.
3) The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads and Project
site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less.
4) Only"Low-Volatile Organic Compounds" paints(no more than 100 gram/liter
of volatile organic compounds [VOC]) and/or High Pressure Low Volume
(HPLV) applications consistent with SCAQMD Rule 1113 shall be used.
5) Plans, specifications, and contract documents shall note that a sign shall be
posted on site stating that construction workers shall not idle diesel engines in
excess of five minutes.
Biological
1) A pre-construction clearance survey for burrowing owls should be conducted
prior to initiating ground disturbance to ensure burrowing owls remain absent
from the project site. The clearance survey should be conducted in
accordance with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife(CDFW)2012
Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, which requires that 2 clearance
surveys be conducted 14 to 30 days and 24 hours prior to any grading or
vegetation removal on the project site. Pre-construction surveys can be
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-69
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00726— IPT ARROW ROUTE DC, LP
July 26, 2017
Page 5
conducted at any time of year. If burrowing owls are observed, additional
avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures may be required. This may
include, but not be limited to, a burrowing owl passive relocation plan to be
prepared and submitted to the CDFW for review and approval prior to
commencement of vegetation clearing/grubbing, grading, and construction
activities on the project site. The burrowing owl relocation plan will outline
methods to passively relocate any burrowing owls and ensure compliance
with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game
Code.
2) In order to avoid impacts on nesting birds and raptors (common or special
status), construction activities should be scheduled during the non-breeding
season (generally between September 16 and February 14 for nesting birds
and between July 1 and January 31 for nesting raptors), to the extent
practicable. If timing requires that construction activities be conducted during
the breeding season (generally between February 15 and September 15 for
birds and between February 1 and June 30 for raptors but can vary slightly
from year to year based on seasonal weather conditions), a pre-construction
survey or multiple surveys should be conducted by a qualified Biologist no
more than 72 hours prior to disturbance to confirm the absence of active
nests. If no active nests are found, no further measures would be necessary.
3) If the Biologist finds an active nest within or adjacent to the construction area
and determines that the nest may be impacted, he or she will identify an
appropriate buffer zone around the nest depending on the sensitivity of the
species and the nature of the construction activity. The active site will be
protected until nesting activity has ended to ensure compliance with the
MBTA and the California Fish and Game Code. To protect any nest site, the
following restrictions to construction activities shall be required until nests are
no longer active, as determined by a qualified Biologist: (1) clearing limits
shall be established within a buffer around any occupied nest(the buffer shall
be 300-500 feet for raptors), unless otherwise determined by a qualified
Biologist and (2) access and surveying shall be restricted within the buffer of
any occupied nest, unless otherwise determined by a qualified Biologist.
Construction and/or encroachment into the buffer area around a known nest
shall only be allowed if the Biologist determines that the proposed activity
would not disturb the nest occupants.
Cultural Resources
1) If In the event that cultural resources are inadvertently unearthed during
excavation and grading activities, the Contractor shall immediately cease all
earth-disturbing activities within a 100-foot radius of the area of discovery.
The Property Owner/Developer shall retain a qualified Archaeologist(Project
Archaeologist), subject to approval by the City of Rancho Cucamonga, to
evaluate the significance of the find and to determine an appropriate course of
action. All artifacts except for human remains and related grave goods or
sacred objects belong to the Property Owner.
All artifacts discovered at the development site shall be inventoried and
analyzed by the Project Archaeologist. If any artifacts of Native American
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-69
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00726— IPT ARROW ROUTE DC, LP
July 26, 2017
Page 6
origin are discovered, the Property Owner/Developer and Project
Archaeologist shall notify the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Department and the appropriate local Native American tribe identified by the
Native American Heritage Commission. The significance of Native American
resources shall be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)and shall consider the religious
beliefs, customs, and practices of the tribe.All items found in association with
Native American human remains shall be considered grave goods or sacred
in origin and subject to special handling. Native American artifacts that cannot
be avoided or relocated at the project site shall be prepared in a manner for
curation and the Project Archaeologist shall deliver the materials to an
accredited curation facility approved by the City of Rancho Cucamonga within
a reasonable amount of time.
Non-Native American artifacts shall be inventoried, assessed, and analyzed
for cultural affiliation, personal affiliation (prior ownership), function, and
temporal placement. Subsequent to analysis and reporting, these artifacts
shall be subjected to curation or returned to the Property Owner/Developer, as
deemed appropriate.
Once ground-altering activities have ceased or the Project Archaeologist
determines that monitoring activities are no longer necessary, monitoring
activities may be discontinued following notification to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department.
A report of findings, including an itemized inventory of recovered artifacts,
shall be prepared upon completion of the steps outlined above. The report
shall include a discussion of the significance of all recovered artifacts. The
report and inventory, when submitted to the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Planning Department, shall signify completion of the program to mitigate
impacts to archaeological and/or cultural resources.A copy of the report shall
also be filed with the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC).
2) If any paleontological resources(e.g., plant or animal fossils)are encountered
before or during grading, the Property Owner/Developer shall retain a
qualified Paleontologist to evaluate unanticipated discoveries and 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 earth-disturbing activities.
• Divert earth-disturbing activities away from the immediate area of the
discovery until the Paleontological Monitor has completed salvage. If
construction personnel make the discovery, the Grading Contractor

shall immediately divert construction and notify the Paleontological
Monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in
the summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (e.g.,
San Bernardino County Museum).
• Prepare and submit a technical report describing the identification,
salvage, evaluation, and treatment of all fossils discovered during
grading to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected
specimens with a copy of the report to the depository.

Standard Conditions of Approval
41. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the Final Project-Specific Water Quality Management Plan
shall include a completed copy of "Worksheet H: Factor of Safety and Design Infiltration Worksheet"
located in Appendix D "Section VII — Infiltration Rate Evaluation Protocol and Factor of Safety
Recommendations, ..." of the San Bernardino County Technical Guidance Document for Water
Quality Management Plans. The infiltration study shall include the Soil Engineer's recommendations
for Appendix D, Table VII.3: Suitability Assessment Related Considerations for Infiltration Facility
Safety Factors".
42. Prior to approval of the final project-specific water quality management plan the applicant shall have
a soils engineer prepare a project-specific infiltration study for the project for the purposes of storm
water quality treatment. The infiltration study and recommendations shall follow the guidelines in the
current adopted "San Bernardino County Technical Guidance Document for Water Quality
Management Plans".
43. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the Building Official, or his designee, the civil
engineer of record shall file a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Post Construction Storm
Water Treatment Devices As-Built Certificate with the Environmental Programs Coordinator, City of
Rancho Cucamonga Engineering Services Department.
44. As the use of drywells are proposed for the structural storm water treatment device, to meet the
infiltration requirements of the current Municipal Separate Storm Sewers Systems (MS4) Permit,
adequate source control and pollution prevention control BMPs shall be implemented to protect
groundwater quality. The need for pre-treatment BMPs such as sedimentation or filtration shall be
evaluated prior to infiltration and discussed in the final project-specific Water Quality Management
Plan document.

45. GROUND WATER PROTECTION:
Prior to approval of the final project specific water quality management plan (WQMP), the WQMP
document shall meet the requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board Order No.
R8-2010-0036 (NPDES No. CAS 618036), the San Bernardino County Municipal Separate Storm
Sewers Separation (MS4) Permit reads:
Section XI.D(Water Quality Management Plan Requirements).8(Groundwater Protection):
Treatment Control BMPs utilizing infiltration [exclusive of incidental infiltration and BMPs not
designed to primarily function as infiltration devices (such as grassy swales, detention basins,
vegetated buffer strips, constructed wetlands, etc.)] must comply with the following minimum
requirements to protect groundwater:
a. Use of structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
ground water quality objectives.
b. Source control and pollution prevention control BMPs shall be implemented to protect
groundwater quality. The need for pre-treatment BMPs such as sedimentation or filtration should be
evaluated prior to infiltration.
c. Adequate pretreatment of runoff prior to infiltration shall be required in gas stations and large
commercial parking lots. (NOTE: The State Water Quality Control Board defines a large commercial
parking lot as '100,000 sq. ft. or more of commercial development to include parking lot (with 100 or
more vehicle traffics), OR, by means of 5,000sqft or more of allowable space designated for parking
purposes').
d. Unless adequate pre-treatment of runoff is provided prior to infiltration structural infiltration
treatment BMPs must not be used for areas of industrial or light industrial activity{77}, areas subject
to high vehicular traffic (25,000 or more daily traffic); car washes; fleet storage areas; nurseries; or
any other high threat to water quality land uses or activities.
e. Class V injection wells or dry wells must not be placed in areas subject to vehicular{78} repair or
maintenance activities{79}, such as an auto body repair shop, automotive repair shop, new and
used car dealership, specialty repair shop (e.g., transmission and muffler repair shop) or any facility
that does any vehicular repair work.
f. Structural infiltration BMP treatment shall not be used at sites that are known to have soil and
groundwater contamination.
g. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any
water supply wells.
h. The vertical distance from the bottom of any infiltration structural treatment BMP to the historic
high groundwater mark shall be at least 10-feet. Where the groundwater basins do not support
beneficial uses, this vertical distance criteria may be reduced, provided groundwater quality is
maintained.
i. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause a nuisance or pollution as defined in Water
Code Section 13050.
