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 meeting on November 8, 2017, including written and oral staff reports,this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue; and b. The project site is comprised of five (5) vacant parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The site is approximately 585 feet (east to west) by approximately 869 feet (north to south); and c. This site once contained an office building and parking lot that was part of a large industrial complex occupied by General Dynamics. The building has since been removed and the parking lot and on-site landscape have not been maintained. The existing land uses on, and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-93 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP November 8, 2017 Page 2 General Plan land use and zoning designations for the project site and the surrounding properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant/Abandoned Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Parking Lot Lakes Specific Plan) North Multi-tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 4 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) Vintage Apartments and Ontario Center Urban Residential District South Camden Landmark (City of Ontario) (Ontario Center Specific Apartments Plan —City of Ontario) East Multi-tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) West Undeveloped Vineyard Industrial Park Industrial Park (IP) District d. The applicant proposes to construct an industrial logistics building with a floor area of 232,058 square feet. The building will consist of two (2) office areas (26,700 square feet) and a warehouse area (205,358 square feet); and e. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt-up construction and will contain a combination of blue reflective vision and spandrel glazing, clear anodized mullions and metal canopies. The south elevation, which will be visible along 4th Street, contains a significant amount of glazing. Downspouts will not be visible from the exterior on any elevation of the building as they will be routed through the interior of the building. The building will have a height of 40 feet and 3 inches. The exterior of the building will be painted a combination of various shades of white and gray; and. f. The parking requirement for the project, based on the proposed mix of office and warehouse floor areas for the proposed industrial building, is 179 parking stalls;the project will have 255 parking stalls. The trailer parking requirement, based on a ratio of one stall per dock door, is 33 trailer parking stalls; the project will have 34 trailer parking stalls; and g. This application is in conjunction with a proposal to amend the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 5 (Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931), to increase the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to 50 percent. Currently, per Section 5.4 (Development Standards) of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Table 5-6 (Development Standards Summary), the maximum FAR in Planning Area 5 is 35 percent. However,the total building floor area for the project will be 232,058 square feet, which will create an FAR of 44.9 percent; and h. A Tree Removal Permit(Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00671) is also proposed in conjunction with this application for the removal of one hundred twenty eight(128)trees, four(4) of which are determined to be heritage trees. The project includes the installation of one hundred ninety six (196) trees throughout the project site; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-93 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP November 8, 2017 Page 3 i. On January 9,2017,the applicant held a neighborhood meeting at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, located at 11525 Mission Vista. All property owners within 660 feet of the subject property were notified. Attendees included the applicant, architect, contractor and project planner. No comments were received from the public at this meeting; and j. The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on January 17, 2017. The main issue raised by staff involved the building's lack of a second primary building material. Per Section 17.122.030(D)(1)(b)of the Development Code, a minimum of two primary building materials shall be used. The Committee agreed with Staff's position regarding the materials and policy issues, which are discussed in Exhibit L and recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for their review; and k. A Technical Review Committee meeting was scheduled on January 17, 2017. No issues were raised. The Committee recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission; and I. Per AB52 and SB18, on January 12, 2017, notifications were sent to Native American communities to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as a result of the project. Comments received by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, which included minor additional text to the draft mitigations, were incorporated into the mitigation measures. No other comments were received by any of the other tribes listed above. 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 one (1) industrial office/wholesale, storage and distribution warehouse building of 232,058 square feet. The underlying General Plan designation is Mixed Use, which encourages creative and imaginative employment-generating designs.Although the project does not yet involve a specific tenant, the project does involve the construction of a well-designed employment generating industrial development; and b. The proposed project is in accord with the objectives of the Specific Plan and the purposes of the Planning Area in which the site is located. The proposed project involves the construction of an industrial building that will be used for office/wholesale, storage and distribution warehouse purposes. The Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 5, states office and wholesale, storage and distribution warehouse uses are permitted by right; and c. The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Specific Plan,with the exception of the requirement for Floor Area Ratio,for which the applicant has submitted a Specific Plan Amendment. Otherwise the project is in compliance with the required development standards and design guidelines including, but not limited to, setbacks, parking, building height, screening and architecture; and d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-93 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP November 8, 2017 Page 4 improvements in the vicinity as all activities will take place within an enclosed building and/or screened area and will comply with all 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 recommends the City Council adopt 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 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 comment letters were received in response to the Mitigated Negative Declaration in late May 2017. The comments included concerns regarding (a) the project's potential to impact air quality, (b) the adequacy and specificity of the Health Risk Assessment, (c) the analysis of the project's impacts to biological resources and (d) the project's noise impacts. One of the letters received from Blum Collins LLP, on behalf of the Golden State Environmental and Social Justice Alliance questioned the adequacy of the air quality, biological resources,greenhouse gas, health risk assessment and noise sections of the initial study. In response to this letter, the applicant's air quality, noise and biological resource consultants prepared detailed response letters that reaffirm the adequacy of the technical analyses used to assess the projects impacts. They clarified that the methodologies used in their analyses were accurately prepared and that no new mitigation would be required as no new significant environmental impacts were discovered. The other letter submitted by SCAQMD expressed a series of air quality related concerns.The most significant of the concerns relates to the Health Risk Assessment(HRA). SCAQMD staff indicated that the HRA has likely underestimated health risk projections created by the project due to improper methodology and modeling.A response letter was submitted by the applicant's consultant in which they indicated that they revised the HRA analysis to comply with the most up to date SCAQMD requirements. According to the consultant, the slight update to the analysis merely amplifies the analysis in the previously circulated Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Air Quality Report and does not affect the conclusions that were previously made. Since the project was not determined to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, additional mitigation measures are not required. Furthermore, the applicant responded to the remaining concerns discussed in the letter and confirmed that the project does not cause any significant unavoidable air quality, greenhouse gas or health risk assessment-based impacts, and therefore no additional mitigation is required. According to CEQA section 15073.5(c), recirculation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is not required under the following circumstances: (1) mitigation measures are replaced with equal or more effective measures pursuant to Section 15074.1; (2) new project revisions are added in response to written or verbal comments on the project's effects identified in the proposed negative declaration PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-93 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670-CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP November 8, 2017 Page 5 which are not new avoidable significant effects; (3) measures or conditions of project approval are added after circulation of the negative declaration which are not required by CEQA, which do not create new significant environmental effects and are not necessary to mitigate an avoidable significant effect; and (4) new information is added to the negative declaration which merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to the 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 recommends the City Council adopt 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 recommends the City Council adopt 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 recommendation 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 Mitigation Monitoring Checklist incorporated herein. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 8TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2017.
