Chairman will open the public hearing to receive testimony. All such opinions shall be limited to 5
minutes per individual for each project. Please sign in after speaking.
C. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19614-CHINO CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT, INC-A
request to subdivide an existing industrial building for condominium purposes for a site
located on the east side of Rochester Boulevard approximately 500 feet south of Jersey
j Court in the General Industrial (GI) Zoning District - APN: 0229-121-52. Planning
Department staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 15
(CEQA Guidelines Section 15315) exemption which covers minor land divisions of four or
fewer parcels)
j Dominick Perez, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report and a brief PowerPoint
presentation. He noted a request to change Engineering condition#3 found on Page C23 of
the agenda packet regarding a reciprocal parking agreement. In response to Commissioner
Munoz, he explained that the original report stated 962 spaces were required. He said the
request is to avoid a potential parking problem in the future. He said that if one or more
owners is unable to work with the others, then the City would see that a good faith effort
was made and it would be acceptable to finalize as is. He said there is an over-parked
condition on some of the parcels and under-parked on others. He said assigned parking
has not been discussed.
Candyce Burnett, Planning Director, noted there is an existing condition that relates to a
prior approval and we are trying to remedy this as part of this application. She said staffs
recommendation is that if the applicant works in good faith and still cannot get an agreement
then we would allow them to move forward. In response to Commissioner Howdyshell, she
indicated the timeframe is that it must be done prior to final recordation of the map.

Vice Chairman Oaxaca asked about the maintenance agreements and if they too are
covered under the parking agreement. i
I
Commissioner Fletcher expressed concern that not all parcels would be part of this
association. He said one association is responsible for maintenance of common areas but
the other 2 are non-association members utilizing the space. He thought the CCR's should
i
show how that would work.
i
Ms. Burnett said the building in question has access and easements but the other two
buildings are not part of the CC&Rs or the Maintenance and that is why the agreement is
needed, so that all the parcels are treated and included the same.
Chairman Wimberly asked the applicant to respond.
Serge Bonaldo, of Bonaldo Engineering said there are 3 properties and 3 owners. He said
the association will still own their own parcel. He said the tenants of the other 2 buildings
will not lose any parking. He said reciprocal parking was not established with the original
• approval but there was an understanding that all 162 stalls were for use by all. He said the
owner agreed to due diligence to get the agreement. He noted their Attorney asked for
additional language to the proposed condition. He said the association is made up of 4
owners but there is no real maintenance agreement; each maintains their own and share
expenses on the two drive aisle expenses. He said he was surprised to discover this
agreement was not in place. He said the parking exists if they need it. I
j
Henry Hong stated he is one of the owners. He confirmed the arrangement of shared
expenses. He said the new subdivision would take care of his own parcel. He said the
buildings in the rear are industrial and therefore they did not see parking as a major issue as
there are not many visitors;parking is used mainly by the tenants and their employees. He
said he does not want to stop the project because of the parking agreement; they are not
losing any parking.
Commissioner Fletcher noted that the biggest problem with condominiums is parking.
Commissioner Munoz said he is in support of the project.
Steven Flower,
Assistant City Attorney commented on the proposed added language to the
condition: "...Provided that the owner shall not be obligated to incur liability or expense
beyond the cost of draft or negotiate the reciprocal parking easement." He said he did not
believe this addition is really needed because staff is only requiring a good faith effort, which
does not require extortion from an uncooperative neighbor.
• Mr. Bonaldo agreed to striking the proposed added language.
Mr. Flower said the amended condition now reads: `A good faith effort shall be made by the

applicant to provide a reciprocal parking agreement for all parcels within Parcel Map 12121
prior to, or concurrent with the recordation of the final map."
Chairman Wimberly opened the public hearing and hearing no further comment, closed the
public hearing.
Moved by Munoz, seconded by Howdyshell, to adopt the Resolution with amended condition
#3 approving Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19614 - carried 5-0
Commissioner Munoz then recused himself and left the Chambers at 7:35 PM stating the
reason for his abstention is because he is an employee of AT&T.
D. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2014-00216 - SPECTRUM SERVICES, INC. FOR
i VERIZON WIRELESS-A request to construct a two-carrier(AT&T and Verizon)co-located
85-foot tall wireless communication facility in the form of a pine tree at Price Self Storage
located on the east side of Haven Avenue and south of the 210 Freeway within the Low(L)
Zoning District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) at 6599 Haven Avenue -APN: 1076-331-34.
Planning Department staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a
Class 3 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15303)exemption which covers the installation of small
new equipment and facilities in small structures.
Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and a brief PowerPoint
presentation. He stated correspondence was received from Eileen Crowl and Gordon Crowl
in opposition to the cell site. He gave background regarding how this specific cell site
location was determined. He noted the height is needed for the co-location and a sound
I study will be required prior to use of the generator.
Mike Hayes of Spectrum Services representing Verizon said it is difficult to accommodate
everyone. He said if the prior identified location had been chosen, even more height would
have been needed and there was no screening at that location. He said this location affords
some trees in back of the homes and along the freeway.
Alexis Hadley representing AT&T thanked staff. She said they looked at several alternative
locations and this one seems to be the least visibly obtrusive and provides the needed
service. She said even if it was located in the shopping center, it would still be within 300
feet of residences.
Commissioner Fletcher noted that in DRC they spoke of alternative locations. He said one
of the letters received from residents mentioned a site along a service road.
I
j Mr Hayes responded that it was too far out of the ring and did not provide coverage. He
said it is also on a Cal Trans easement.

Chairman Wimberly opened the public hearing.
Eileen Crowl, 6550 Valinda Avenue, said her backyard is the self-storage facility. She said
j she is representing some residents on Valinda Avenue. She said they had to accept the
self-storage units and now they are changing the permit for storage to a cell tower and that
it is not right to change it. She mentioned the obstruction of her view and said the proposed
i
tree is ugly and she does not want it.
I
Gordon Crowl,6550 Valinda Avenue, said there is a permit for storage and now they are I
going to sublease their property for profit under a different permit. He said he believes this
to be illegal. He said no one visited his backyard to see what it is doing to his view and his
i property value. He said he recommended the Cal-Trans site.
June Selos, 6542 Valinda Avenue, concurred with her neighbors. She said she is
concerned that if they change the use now, then it may get changed again. She said it I
looks ugly;the area went from single-family development, to storage, and now a cell tower.
Steve Seals, 6542 Valinda Avenue, said the eucalyptus looks dwarfed. He asked why this j
could not be next to the cell tower at Jack in the Box. He said this would lower his property
value.
i
Chairman Wimberly closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Fletcher asked legal counsel to explain regarding the City's limitation of i
denying such applications, and any restrictions imposed by the current CUP that is in place. j
i
Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney, said most are contained in Federal law. He said we
cannot refuse them for perceived health impacts, and the City cannot discriminate among
service providers. He noted the T-Mobile site by Jack in the Box. He explained that If a
provider has a significant gap in coverage then the City cannot prevent a provider from filling
the gap as long as they are providing it in the least obtrusive manner possible. He said they
i they have to demonstrate it is the least obtrusive aesthetically. He said to his knowledge
there is nothing in the previously approved conditions that would limit them-from the second
entitlement. He said it is not uncommon to have multiple entitlements on one property- in
this case although a different compatible use, it does not violate the first permit and .I
therefore this is not a legal impediment to this second application request.
i
Commissioner Fletcher asked what would occur if the current CUP was revoked.
i
i
Mr. Flower responded that it may not affect it at all as what is specific to the storage units
may not apply to the cell tower. He said that if there are problems with this use, then the
• Planning Commission could bring it back for review and modify it and one or both could
have that happen at the same time, it depends on the nature of the problems that are

occurring.
Commissioner Wimberly asked about "view rights".
Mr. Flower said there is no expressed right to a view without a view easement; the City of
Rancho Cucamonga does not have a view ordinance.
Commissioner Fletcher asked why a colocation at the northwest corner of the site was not a
viable option.
Mr. Hayes responded that there was not enough ground space available for their equipment
as each carrier has their own equipment. He said the generator only runs for 2 hours per
month and using diesel is not an issue and is less volatile than other fuels. He said when
I they tried to move the facility to the center of the units, AT&T withdrew their application. He
said a co-location on the T-Mobile pole did not work for lack of space and it would not have
filled the coverage gap; It had to be south of that to fill the public demand for
communications. He said the photo simulations are based upon the 85-foot height.
I
Commissioner Fletcher asked if there is equipment available to boost the signal to make it
work.
Mr. Hayes reported that the technology changes by the hour and that the gaps are being
filled by the best available technology.
Ms. Hadley said AT&T Verizon is constantly upgrading and there still is a need for this site.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca confirmed that the need is not just for capacity but also coverage.
Mr. Hayes stated that if there was a national emergency, the-towers in this area would not
work because of the overload.
Mr. Flower responded to a question from Mr. Selos regarding aesthetics. He said it
generally means overall compatibility with the community and the character of the
neighborhood
Commissioner Fletcher noted that he reviewed this at the DRC and he could sympathize
with the residents. He said the storage facility had some problems with noise and glare at
first and those items were addressed. He said it presents inconveniences for the residents.
He noted the restrictions imposed by Federal laws and the lack of view restrictions in this
city. He said he did not think an 85 foot tree was the best solution but he did not hear any
viable alternatives.
Commissioner Howdyshell said she is sympathetic but also knows the need to fill the
coverage and providers need to give service. She said she is not in favor of a tower this

high and would have liked another alternative that is comparable. She said these towers
are much more attractive. She reported she no longer has a view at her home either. She
said she understands their need to expand-but now the residents'environment is changing;
as the City grows these changes may have to be made.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca noted he also was on the DRC and this proposal left us with few.
i
alternatives. He said this is far from ideal but he sees the concerns of the telecomm
carriers. I
Chairman Wimberly agreed with all and empathized with the residents.
Commissioner Fletcher said he is reluctant and irritated to be in this situation. He asked
about providing more trees to help screen the tower. He said he would like to see a good
faith effort to plant additional trees to minimize the aesthetics.
Mr. Flower said that they would have to be located on the Cal-trans property and the City
cannot condition that.

Use Permit DRC2014-00216- carried 3-1-1 (Howdyshell no, Munoz abstain)

III. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
A. PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP FOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
DRC2015-00421 -CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA-A supplement to Development
Code Update DRC2010-00571 amending Title 17 (Development Code)of the Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code to provide development standards for the Mixed Use
Development District, development and land use standards for the industrial districts,
and to clarify definitions, administrative procedures, and correct prior errors and
omissions.
Presentations by staff members including a.PowerPoint presentation(copy on file)were
given by Mike Smith,Associate Planner;Mayuko Nakajima, Assistant Planner;Dominick
Perez, Assistant Planner, and Tom Grahn, Associate Planner.
A presentation by Neil Payton, FAIA, Principal of Torti Gallas and Partners, Inc. followed
(copy on file). He noted that TOD/MOD development can take on many forms—there
are principles but not stringent characteristics of high performing districts. He said
higher density is not always the best for the developer and that what is typical in early
forms of a TOD-market is not always in line with that. He said the developer has to j
make it pencil out and in the early stages a lower density may work better than a higher
density. He said in later stages a higher density may be more successful. He said a
goal is to create a culture of walking rather than driving and that is a long term process.
Commissioner Fletcher noted a memo regarding the Metrolink Station. He asked to
hear more about that topic.
Candyce Burnett, Planning Director, pointed out that the agenda item today is to discuss
development standards for Mixed Use Districts, and to clarify definitions, density, and to
put standards in place to support this type of development. She said the memo is
preliminary/embryonic and not for discussion at this meeting. She said it was just an
informational memo regarding the RFQ and to see if there is interest/opportunity for a
future buildout of the station.
Commissioner Fletcher asked why the City wants to change open space to Mixed Use.
I �
Ms. Burnett said there is no suggestion to change the underlying zoning as it is already
identified for these types of development in the General Plan. She said the City could
consider sites along Foothill Boulevard and other areas but there are no proposals to
change or amend zoning at this point-it is the development standards for those areas
that is needed.
Commissioner Fletcher said he believes all Mixed Use areas are appropriate to look at
even around the Metrolink station. He said he is in support of building these

Page 3
neighborhoods but he wants high quality. He said the standards should be tough and
staff should seek the very best. With respect to Density, Design, Diversity (DDD) he
said he has a concern about building residential units. He said the City should be
promoting jobs and commerce and asked that these areas not be converted to
residential. He said the TODs work in Pasadena because of the jobs they provide. He
commented that since we lost the RDA it seems we are not "selling RC" He said we
need to keep up that effort and then make sure jobs are there, not just retail.
Ms. Burnett clarified that the proposal is not to cut commercial development but it is to
use properties in a better way. She said commerce will continue to change but
underutilized areas need to change. She said we need to blend but also need to create
the space. She said the 2nd phase of the Council Goal looks is to look at
neighborhoods and to look at what character to create.
Commissioner Fletcher said development standards will encourage developers to look
at old strip centers.
• Chairman Wimberly asked if the amendment will create new overlays.
Ms. Burnett said the creation of new overlays is part of the 2nd phase of the goal.
Commissioner Howdyshell said she has looked for elements of these concepts in her
new community. She said to incorporate these elements will be a key economic factor.
She referenced Victoria Gardens'success in creating a walking, browsing, community
feeling. She said we need focus on job creation but employees may also want to live
where they work or nearby. She said she enjoyed the tour; it was a paradigm shift in
housing. She said she would like to see a vibrant living environment and an exciting
community. She said density should be smart. She said parking is a current struggle.
She said with respect to conserving water, she was pleased with the suggested
setbacks discussed. She said the information presented was brilliant and forward
thinking.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca thanked staff for the excellent presentation. He clarified the goal
is to have a specific focus on transit or more mobility friendly development. He said the
transit mode may take a long time before that could be in place. He said the standards
should maximize mobility. He said it is still a small system and only a certain segment
that uses it. He was unsure if it could create a real magnet. He said the identified
parcels identified look disconnected geographically. He said he would like the new
standards help them connect. He said if the City is interested in connecting them, then
create a visual connection. He said there are differences in sites;some are out of date
strip malls. He said we may miss opportunities if we do not connect also between the
• north and south as well as east to west. He said the timing of the Empire Lakes project
could be used to test out some of these new standards. He wondered if the property
owner(Lewis) would think these ideas are realistic. He agreed there are many great

things at Victoria Gardens and suggested we reproduce some of the characteristics of
what works. He said he had a hard time seeing how making the concept of higher
intersection density would work. He said it was interesting to think how that could create
a different behavior.
Commissioner Munoz mentioned parking as a concern and that should be considered in
the draft standards. He said to this point he believes we've been proactive. He agreed
that density, setbacks and the standards presented would be good to consider. He said
the current projects may lay the groundwork for TODs with density and Mixed Use. He
said he likes what he sees and is in support.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca said he wants the proposed standards for Mixed Use areas to
be 2 or more uses. He said we should require even more uses for larger project sites.
Commissioner Fletcher said for Mixed Use areas we should consider several uses not
just 2. He asked for some data indicating the costs for the City with respect to the
different types of development. He said we should encourage developers with
examples of what we want.
Ms. Burnett noted that staff photographed all the different project types and have put
together a design book just for that purpose. She said with respect to the number of
uses required in Mixed Use developments that we have to look at the lot sizes as that is
a factor.
Mike Smith, Associate Planner, said with respect to quality of design that the buildings
are closer to the street and therefore more visible and with that is the demand for
buildings of better design and materials.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca said there is a sense of human scale with the structures;almost
like a Disneyland sense of scale.
Mr. Smith said the form and massing of the buildings must be varied.
Chairman Wimberly said the presentations were enlightening. He asked how it is
decided as to what target project is viable for a particular location. He said Victoria
Gardens works and he recognizes the mobility component of that in that many walk to
that location and there are Mixed Use opportunities there.
Ms. Burnett stated that one lesson learned from Victoria Gardens is that you never stop
creating something new there; case in point, the remodel/facelift of Monet.

Commissioner Fletcher asked what the maximum population is envisioned for Rancho
Cucamonga. He asked if it would be substantially higher with this new vision and is that
what residents want.
Ms. Burnett stated that the more recent forecasts contemplate 200-220 thousand based
upon utilizing Mixed Use development and other opportunity sites.
Commissioner Munoz noted a published resource by Chuck Marin called Strong Towns.
He said he would get copy of the information for staff and the Commission.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission should consider the current Commission
representation for the Trails Advisory Committee (TAC). By minute action, the Commission should
select a Commissioner to serve in place of Commissioner Howdyshell who is scheduled to retire
August 26, 2015. She has served 1-year of the 2-year term on this Committee. The Commission
may also select or re-affirm the second member and a new alternate as Commissioner Fletcher has
served the 2-year term as a member and Commissioner Munoz has served a 2-year term as
alternate.
BACKGROUND: The Trails Advisory Committee is comprised of two members of the Park and
• Recreation Commission, two members of the Planning Commission, and two Members at Large.
The Members at Large serve as representatives of the biking and equestrian community. The
Committee is facilitated by a staff member designated by the Planning Director. The staff member
is a non-voting member.
The Trails Advisory Committee assists both the Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning
Commission by reviewing proposed projects that may impact the existing trail system, its use, future
improvements and addressing resident concerns. The TAC reviews and recommends priorities for
trail improvement projects and forwards those recommendations to the Planning Commission and
the Park and Recreation Commission for consideration which then are forwarded to the City Council
as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Typically, the Planning Commission reviews the TAC membership in July if a Commission member
is nearing the end of a term or has notified the City of a retirement. Currently, Commissioner
Fletcher serves the TAC and was installed as a regular member in 2013 and therefore has
completed one full term. Commissioner Munoz has served as First Alternate since 2013 and has
completed one-full term.

C. Site Characteristics: The project site (Exhibit A) is approximately 9,490 square feet and is
within the Foothill Boulevard Specialty Commercial (SC) District. As described in the
Development Code, Article III, Chapter 17.26, the goal of the SC district is intended to
accommodate `specialty uses, which promote a special landmark quality or create a special
ambience that is unique to a particular subarea.' To the east are small stores (key shop,
florist) and a public alley; to the north is single-family residential; to the west is vacant land,
which is currently being developed with a new commercial shopping center, and to the south
are existing commercial uses. The pending new commercial development to the west is
currently in plan check. As a condition of approval for the development, the developer was
required to grant an access easement in favor of the Cucamonga Service Station property.
Upon completion of the shopping center, the Cucamonga Service Station property will be able
to utilize the commercial development driveway approach, and enter the gas station property
through the access easement. No direct access from Foothill Boulevard to the Cucamonga
Service Station property will be provided (Exhibit B).
The property previously included two buildings: a front and rear building. The exact
construction date is unknown, but is estimated to be around 1915 for both buildings. The rear
service station building suffered deterioration and collapsed in 2011 after a heavy rain. The
front gas station building still exists and is a one-story Mission style structure. Architectural
features include flat roofing with arched parapet and coping, red tile roof, smooth-stucco wall
surface, and a porte-cochere supported by square piers.
D. Proiect Description/Phasing: The applicant, Route 66 Inland Empire California (IECA), is a
non-profit group that acquired the property in February 2013 and is restoring the property as
funds become available. Funds are accrued through their fundraising events and donations.
As such, they have proposed to finish the restoration project in three (3) phases. Each phase
is summarized below:
• Phase 1 includes sandblasting and re-painting the existing building as well as the
installation of a new "Richfield" sign. This item was approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission on January 14, 2015, and the work has been completed;
• Phase 2 includes improvements that will allow the front building to be open to the public,
including interior improvements, temporary parking lot improvements, and installation of
temporary exterior restrooms; and
• Phase 3 includes the reconstruction of the rear 1,882 square foot service garage that will
include an office, conference room, garage museum, permanent public restrooms, and
permanent parking facilities.
ACTION REQUESTED/ANALYSIS: The action requested is for the approval of a Certificate of
Appropriateness for Phases 2 and 3 and a Variance for setbacks and parking. Approval of a
Certificate of Appropriateness is necessary before the applicant can begin the restoration process.
Section 17.18.040 (B) of the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code states "no person shall carry

out or cause to be carried out any alteration, restoration, rehabilitation, construction, removal,
relocation, or demolition of any Historic Landmark or Contributing Resource unless the City has first
issued a Certificate of Appropriateness in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter." The
purpose of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict application of development standards
when special circumstances pertaining to the property such as size, shape, topography, or location
deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same
district. Any Variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment
thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations
upon other properties in the vicinity and district in which such property is situated.
The goal of Phase 2 improvements is to allow the front building to be open to the public, and
includes interim or temporary improvements that will be replaced with permanent improvements
during Phase 3. Phase 2 will include interior improvements to the front building, temporary parking
lot improvements, and installation of temporary exterior restrooms with screening. A collapsible,
rolling gate will be installed along the front of the property to allow for security. Most of the area will
be decomposed gravel with the exception of the area for the three (3) temporary parking spaces,
path of travel and the area for the temporary restrooms. The temporary restrooms will be screened
from public view by a 6 foot vinyl fencing. Phase 2 will allow the Route 66 IECA to open the
property to the public on an interim basis, create awareness of the group's efforts, and continue
with their fundraising.
Phase 3 includes the reconstruction of the rear 1,882 square foot "service garage" that will include
an office, conference room, garage museum and permanent, public restrooms. The reconstructed
property will re-create the appearance of the non-surviving historic building in materials, design,
color, and texture. The building materials will mimic the front building in terms of stucco, yellow
paint scheme, and red tile roofing. The reconstruction will be clearly identified as a contemporary
re-creation by use of signage to avoid confusion by the public. Phase 3 will also include the
reconstruction of the 177 square foot outdoor restrooms on the east side of the property. There will
be a total of six (6) permanent, on-site paved parking spaces. A commemorative brick walk will be
added in front of the rear building. A trash enclosure is also required for a commercial property.
However, alternatives for a smaller, more compact trash bin are being researched and may be
utilized in lieu of the ten (10) by eight (8) foot enclosure proposed. As conditioned, final details on
the trash enclosure would be worked out at plan check.
PHASING: As noted above, the project will be completed in phases. The front building will not be
open to the public until all necessary permits for Phase 2 have passed final inspection. The rear
building will not be open to the public until all necessary permits for Phase 3 have passed final
inspection. Route 66 IECA intends to complete Phase 3 when they are able to raise enough funds.
However, the entitlement will expire if the rear building and associated improvements have not
passed final inspection within 5 years from the date of approval or a time extension has been
granted.
PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE: The item was presented to the Public Works Subcommittee
(PWC) on April 29, 2015 for consideration of the street frontage improvements related to the site.
Currently, the General Plan (at the subject location) shows an ultimate 40-foot curb-to-curb
dimension and an additional 11 feet to provide for a bus bay/right hand turn lane. Also, an
additional 8 feet beyond the bus bay/right hand turn lane is stipulated for sidewalk/parkway
improvements. This ultimate design improvement would require a right-of-way dedication of 21 feet

from the gas station property and place the new curb line at the gas station porte-cochere square
piers. The pedestrian sidewalk area would traverse beneath the porte-cochere. Also, there is
concern regarding a proper joining of elevations with widening the street matching the porte-
cochere elevation. The ultimate design improvement, therefore, is not feasible from a practical or
constructability standpoint.
While the General Plan discusses transit amenities as a requirement of development, such as bus
turnouts, the General Plan also discusses protecting and preserving historical sites. Staff's
conclusion was to forego the bus turnout in order to facilitate the preservation of the historic gas
station. It should be noted that with the development to the west, the widening of Foothill Boulevard
will provide for a temporary location of a bus stop outside of the through lanes of travel.
Rather than require the full dedication at this time, staff recommended to the PWC that only an
irrevocable offer of 10 feet dedication be required to achieve a roadway width of 40 feet and a
sidewalk/parkway width of 8 feet at some time in the future. This postpones any actual dedication
or improvements until such time as a widening project were to actually be implemented. If the
roadway improvements were ever constructed, the back of sidewalk would be located 3 feet south
of the porte-cochere square piers. The offer of dedication would allow construction of the rear
building to proceed while still providing for future right of way needs consistent with the General
Plan (Exhibit C).
Staff also recommended to the PWC the collection of money from the applicant for any future street
improvements be waived. Any future frontage improvements would be constructed and funded by
the City. The PWC concurred with staffs suggestions and directed staff to move forward with the
project.
PROPOSED USE: The Route 66 IECA intends to use the property as an office and meeting area.
They are also proposing to have it open to the public as a museum. Their proposed hours are 7
days a week, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. They also intend to re-open in the evening from 6:00
p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for business meeting purposes. All special events outside of normal business
operations shall be permitted only through a Temporary Use Permit as approved by the Planning
Department. Volunteers will be on site for normal maintenance of the property.
FACTS FOR FINDING: The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness meets the following criteria
established in Section 17.18.040 (E) of the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code.
A. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a Historic
Resource within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act. The rehabilitation of
the remaining original front building and reconstruction of the rear building is consistent with
the City's General Plan goals identified to protect historic resources, such as Goal LU-16:
Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic Route 66 for
residents, visitors, and business owners.
B. The project is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 17.18. The proposal meets
requirements of Section 17.18.040 because the proposed improvements are compatible with
the historic representation of the structure; will protect important features of the original
building, and will enhance the value of the structure and property.

C. The project is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties, in that the improvements are appropriate to the era of significance and the
reconstructed property will re-create the appearance of the non-surviving historic property in
materials, design, color, and texture. Also, the reconstruction will be clearly identified as a
contemporary re-creation, as to not confuse the public understanding.
VARIANCE FOR SETBACK: The applicant is proposing a reduction of the rear yard setback by 20
feet, and a reduction of the side yard setback by 4 feet. Per Section 17.38.060(G)(10) of the
Development Code, this site requires a rear building setback of 25 feet because it is adjacent to an
existing residential development. The rear building is proposed to be set back 5 feet from the
property line. For the interior side property line, the setback is 5 feet when it is adjacent to existing
or planned commercial development. The rear building is proposed to be 1 foot from the property
line. Approval of the Variance request is warranted in order to reconstruct the historical building that
collapsed in 2011, based on the facts for findings that are listed below, and included in the draft
resolution of approval:
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. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a
depth of 130 feet after street right-of-way dedication. Without a reduction of the rear yard
setback by 20 feet, and the reduction of the side yard setback by 4 feet, it would be difficult to
recreate the historic property, which is consistent with historic preservation goals identified in
• the General Plan such as Goal LU-16: Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve
and interpret Historic Route 66 for residents, visitors, and business owners.
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. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet
and a depth of 130 feet after street right-of-way dedication. The rear building that collapsed
abutted the property lines, and the reconstruction of the historic building is consistent with
historic preservation goals identified in the General Plan such as Goal LU-16: Protect historic
resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic Route 66 for residents, visitors,
and business owners.
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.
Without the reduction in the rear and side yard setback requirement, the applicant would be
limited to building a structure that does not recreate the buildings that previously existed on
the site.
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. The proposed reduction
in the rear and side yard setback will allow the applicant to restore a designated historical
resource to its original size and placement on the property for an adaptive reuse project that is
consistent with General Plan historic preservation goals. Typically, historic buildings deviate
from current code requirements and there are examples in the surrounding area or within the
• same zone. It is common practice to grant Variances where there are unusual circumstances
into private property such as lot size, especially for historic properties.

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. The applicant proposes to
recreate a previously existing historical site which will not be out of character with the
surrounding neighborhood area. The reduction in the rear and side yard setback will not
negatively impact the ability of other uses in the area to function or operate.
VARIANCE FOR PARKING: The minimum number of parking spaces required for the proposed
use is nine (9) spaces, and the applicant is proposing a reduction of three (3) spaces. A total of six
(6) on-site parking spaces is proposed, and is adequate for the proposed use, as a museum with a
meeting hall are considered low-intensity. The approval of the Variance request is warranted based
on the following facts for findings that are listed below and included in the draft resolution of
approval:
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. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a
depth of 130 feet after street right-of-way dedication. Without a reduction of three (3) parking
spaces, it would be difficult to provide adequate and functional access and parking on the site.
The size of the property limits the amount of parking that can be provided if all previous
existing historical buildings are reconstructed.
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. Restoration of the front building and reconstruction of the rear
building is consistent with historic preservation goals identified in the General Plan such as
Goal LU-16: Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic Route
66 for residents, visitors, and business owners. It would be difficult to provide adequate and
functional access and parking on the site if the project met all applicable development
standards.
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.
Without the reduction of three (3) parking spaces, the applicant would be limited to building a
structure that is much smaller than what existed previously on the site, which would be
inconsistent with General Plan goals such as Goal LU-16: Protect historic resources; and Goal
LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic Route 66 for residents, visitors, and business owners.
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. The proposed reduction
of three (3) parking spaces will allow the applicant to utilize the property for an adaptive reuse
project that is consistent with General Plan historic preservation goals. It is common practice
to grant Variances where there are unusual circumstances into private property such as lot
size, especially for historic properties.
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. The applicant proposes to
recreate a previously existing historical site which will not be out of character with the

surrounding neighborhood area. The reduction in the parking requirement will not negatively
impact the ability of other uses in the area to function or operate. A total of six (6) on-site
parking spaces is proposed, and is adequate for the proposed use, as a museum with a
meeting hall are considered low-intensity. Special events will require additional parking to be
secured and will be evaluated through the Temporary Use Permit process.
The applicant plans to work with the adjacent property owner at 9671 Foothill Boulevard (the Deli
Restaurant) authorizing the Route 66 IECA to use their surface parking lot for overflow parking for
special events. All special events outside of normal business operations shall be permitted only
through a Temporary Use Permit as approved by the Planning Department.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Planning Department staff has determined that the Certificate
of Appropriateness is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 31 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15331)
exemption which covers historical resource restoration/reconstruction. Staff has determined that the
Variance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 5 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15305) exemption which
covers minor alterations in land use limitations.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Dailv
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within
a 660-foot radius of the project site.
• RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission adopt
resolutions approving Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2013-00789, Variance DRC2013-00790,
and Variance DRC2015-00667, subject to the conditions of approval within the resolutions.

AND 3 IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CUCAMONGA GAS STATION LOCATED
AT 9670 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD,AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF -APN: 0208-153-05.
A. Recitals.
1. Route 66 Inland Empire California (IECA), applicant and property owner, filed an
application for the approval of Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2013-00789 for Phase 1 and 2
improvements to the Cucamonga Gas Station, as described in the title of this Resolution.
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Certificate of Appropriateness request is referred to as
"the application."
2. On the 22nd day of July 2015, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said
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 Historic Preservation
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 July 22, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, and pursuant to Section 17.18.040 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code,
this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:

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. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
Historic Resource within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act. The rehabilitation
of the remaining original front building and reconstruction of the rear building is consistent with the
City's General Plan goals identified to protect historic resources, such as Goal LU-16: Protect
historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic Route 66 for residents, visitors,
and business owners.
b. The project is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 17.18. The proposal meets
requirements of Section 17.18.040 because the proposed improvements are compatible with the
historic representation of the structure;will protect important features of the original building, and will
enhance the value of the structure and property.
C. The project is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties, in that the improvements are appropriate to the era of significance
and the reconstructed property will re-create the appearance of the non-surviving historic property in
materials, design, color, and texture. Also, the reconstruction will be clearly identified as a
contemporary re-creation, as to not confuse the public understanding.
4. Prior to any action being taken on this entitlement, the Planning Department Staff
determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 31 (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15331) exemption which covers historical resource restoration/reconstruction.
The scope of the project includes the restoration of an existing historic building and the
reconstruction of a historic building that used to exist. Staff finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Historic Preservation
Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption,and based on its
own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set fort in paragraphs 1,2, 3 and 4 above,This
Commission hereby approves Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2013-00789 for Phases 2 and 3
improvements to the Cucamonga Gas Station, subject to each and every condition attached and
included herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

d. The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness application for the
restoration of the front building and reconstruction of the rear building; and
e. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a depth of 130
feet after street right-of-way dedication. The lot size and dimensions make it difficult to develop
without the approval of a Variance. The applicant has submitted a Variance (DRC2013-00790)
requesting a reduction of the rear yard setback by 20 feet, and for the reduction of the side yard
setback by 4 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 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. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a
depth of 130 feet after street right-of-way dedication. Without a reduction of the rear yard setback
by 20 feet, and the reduction of the side yard setback by 4 feet, it would be difficult to recreate the
historic property, which is consistent with historic preservation goals identified in the General Plan
such as Goal LU-16: Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic
Route 66 for residents, visitors, and business owners.
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. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a
depth of 130 feet after street right-of-way dedication. The rear building that collapsed abutted the
property lines, and the reconstruction of the historic building is consistent with historic preservation
goals identified in the General Plan such as Goal LU-16: Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21.-
Preserve and interpret Historic Route 66 for residents, visitors, and business owners.
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.
Without the reduction in the rear and side yard setback requirement, the applicant would be limited
to building a structure that does not recreate the buildings that previously existed on the site.
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. The proposed
reduction in the rear and side yard setback will allow the applicant to restore a designated historical
resource to its original size and placement on the property for an adaptive reuse project that is
consistent with General Plan historic preservation goals. Typically, historic buildings deviate from
current code requirements and there are examples in the surrounding area or within the same zone.
It is common practice to grant Variances where there are unusual circumstances into private
property such as lot size, especially for historic properties.
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. The applicant
proposes to recreate a previously existing historical site which will not be out of character with the
• surrounding neighborhood area. The reduction in the rear and side yard setback will not negatively
impact the ability of other uses in the area to function or operate.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
DRC2015-00667, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER
OF MINIMUM PARKING SPACES BY THREE (3) SPACES RELATED TO
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2013-00789 FOR THE
CUCAMONGA GAS STATION LOCATED AT 9670 FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN:
0208-153-05.
A. Recitals.
1. Route 66 Inland Empire California (IECA), applicant and property owner, filed an
application for the approval of Variance DRC2015-00667 as described in the title of this Resolution.
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 22nd day of July 2015, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said
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 July 22, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located at 9670 Foothill Boulevard, presently
developed with the Cucamonga Gas Station. Route 66 IECA acquired the property in February 2013
and is proposing to restore the property in phases; and

C. The properties to the north are developed with single-family residences,to the east
are commercial uses and a public alley, to the south are existing commercial uses, and to the west
is vacant land, which currently is pending a new commercial development; and
d. The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness application for the
restoration of the front building and reconstruction of the rear building; and
e. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a depth of 130
feet after street right-of-way dedication. The lot size and dimensions make it difficult to develop
without the approval of a Variance. The applicant has submitted a Variance (DRC2015-00667)
requesting a reduction of three (3) parking spaces below the minimum requirement.
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. The lot is 9,490 square feet in size and has a width of 73 feet and a
depth of 130 feet after street right-of-way dedication. Without a reduction of three (3) parking
spaces, it would be difficult to provide adequate and functional access and parking on the site. The
size of the property limits the amount of parking that can be provided if all previous existing historical
buildings are reconstructed.
® 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. Restoration of the front building and reconstruction of the rear
building is consistent with historic preservation goals identified in the General Plan such as Goal LU-
16: Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve and interpret Historic Route 66 for
residents, visitors, and business owners. It would be difficult to provide adequate and functional
access and parking on the site if the project met all applicable development standards.
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.
Without the reduction of three (3) parking spaces, the applicant would be limited to building a
structure that is much smaller than what existed previously on the site, which would be inconsistent
with General Plan goals such as Goal LU-16: Protect historic resources; and Goal LU-21: Preserve
and interpret Historic Route 66 for residents, visitors, and business owners.
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. The proposed
reduction of three (3) parking spaces will allow the applicant to utilize the property for an adaptive
reuse project that is consistent with General Plan historic preservation goals. It is common practice
to grant Variances where there are unusual circumstances into private property such as lot size,
especially for historic properties.
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. The applicant
proposes to recreate a previously existing historical site which will not be out of character with the
surrounding neighborhood area. The reduction in the parking requirement will not negatively impact

the ability of other uses in the area to function or operate.A total of six(6)on-site parking spaces is
proposed, and is adequate for the proposed use, as a museum with a meeting hall are considered
low-intensity. Special events will require additional parking to be secured and will be evaluated
through the Temporary Use Permit process.
4. Prior to any action being taken on this entitlement, the Planning Department Staff
determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 5(CEQA Guidelines
Section 15305) exemption which covers minor alterations in land use limitations. The scope of the
project includes the restoration of an existing historic building and the reconstruction of a historic
building that used to exist. Staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have
a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning
Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in
the staffs determination of exemption.
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 the reduction of three (3) parking spaces below the

ANALYSIS:
A. Background: Fire Station Number 174 was originally approved on September 27, 1991
(Conditional Use Permit 89-23) and included the site plan and design review of the original
fire station and a master plan for a future maintenance building and live fire training facility.
Conditional Use Permit 89-23 was modified on December 11, 1991 for the final design of a
34,030 square foot maintenance and training facility, a 3,432 square foot training tower
and a 120 square foot pump test enclosure. Due to budget constraints, the fire training
facility and tower were never constructed. The current proposal is for the modification of
the original master plan and the site plan and design review for a fire training facility and
tower.
B. Site Characteristics: The triangular shaped 6.2 acre project site is developed with Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) Fire Station Number 174 and is located at
the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue at 11297 Jersey Boulevard.
The existing on-site structures include a 17,034 square foot main fire station building, a
14,600 square foot maintenance building and a 2,349 square foot warehouse/covered
carport along with 40 parking stalls. The current facility also includes a flashover chamber
and a two-story burn container structure, both of which are used for live fire
demonstrations and training. The existing helipad will be eliminated with the proposed
project.
C. Proiect Proposal: The project is for the expansion of the existing Rancho Cucamonga
Fire Protection District (RCFPD) Station Number 174. The proposed structures include a
new fire training center (14,789 square feet), a warehouse/parts-storage building (2,455
square feet), a fitness building (3,186 square feet), a training house (3,064 square feet)
and a multi-story training tower with a lattice metal training structure (15,415 square feet),
for a total of 38,909 square feet of new structures. The project includes a complete
reconfiguration of the parking lot for an overall total of 131 parking spaces. The proposed
live fire training tower and flashover chamber will replace existing on-site structures used
for fire training.
The fire training structures are designed to provide fire personnel with a safe environment
that replicates real world "All-Risk" training conditions. The structures include a 70-foot tall
training tower designed to simulate a multi-story office building and includes an attached
single-story building designed to simulate an in-line commercial center. Adjacent to the
training tower is a detached two-story building designed to simulate a single-family
residence. The training buildings will be constructed of concrete masonry unit (CMU) block
that is color matched to the existing fire station along with gray and white split face accent
CMU blocks. A 70-foot tall open lattice tower will be located adjacent to the fire training
tower and will also be used for fire training purposes. Metal shipping containers will be
located on each floor of the training buildings to contain the live fires during the training
exercises. The flash over chamber building will be constructed of metal siding with a metal
roof and will include a scrubber to capture and filter emissions created during the training
activities.

D. Design and Layout: The new two-story fire training building will be located between the
existing fire station and maintenance/service building and will include an outdoor open
plaza and roof top terrace and garden. This structure has a modern appearance that
includes a two-story glass entrance. The exterior finishes include metal panels, sand
blasted CMU color matched to the existing fire station and service building, troweled
plaster and a standing seam metal roof. The rooftop equipment will be screened by a
corrugated metal enclosure. The fitness building and parts/warehouse building will be
located to the south of the new training building and will be constructed of color matched
CMU block and bead blasted white CMU block. The live fire training structures will be
located on the southern half of the project site and will be constructed of color matched
CMU block, gray CMU block and bead blasted white CMU block. Each of the training
structures include the use of aluminum panel glazing to give the buildings a realistic
appearance. The main pedestrian walkway from Jersey Boulevard leads past a future
9/11 memorial to the main entrance of the training building and the open plaza beyond.
The public parking lot has been redesigned to include a second vehicle access to assist
traffic flow through the project site.
The project complies with or exceeds all related Development Code criteria. The building
setback from Milliken Avenue is 100 feet (45 feet required), 70 feet from Jersey Boulevard
(35 feet required) and 5 feet from the interior property lines (0 and 5 feet required). The
• maximum building height for the live-fire training facility is 70 feet (70-foot maximum) and
the proposed building is setback 120 feet from Milliken Avenue. Calculating prior
landscape improvements plus proposed landscape improvements places landscape
coverage at 15 percent (5 percent required), and the Floor Area Ratio is 27 percent
(maximum FAR is 50 percent). To facilitate water management and collection, the existing
fire station includes a 60,000 gallon underground storage tank which collects water used
during live fire training activities and storm water runoff. The captured water is treated and
reused onsite to irrigate landscaping and wash vehicles. In the future, captured water may
be used for firefighting purposes during fire training exercises. The proposed landscape
plan includes drought tolerant plant material and complies with the City's Water Efficient
Landscaping Ordinance.
E. Entitlement Requirements: Development Code Section 17.20.040 states that structural
additions over 10,000 square feet require approval of a Design Review and Planning
Commission Approval. Development Code Section 17.16.020 requires that a Conditional
Use Permit is required for the operation of a public safety facility.
F. Operations: Fire Station Number 174 is currently operated by 6 firefighters and 5
maintenance personnel. The new training facility will have 7 full time employees and will
operate from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. There will be 18 regular employees on site during the
largest shift, with firefighters working 24 hour shifts. The fire training activities will take
place on a weekly basis and will used by RCFPD employees, local utility agencies and
surrounding community colleges with firefighting programs. The facility will also be used
for firefighter graduations and for an annual fire station open house.

G. Parking: A total of 131 on-site parking spaces are proposed. This includes 40 parking
spaces available for public use, 56 staff parking spaces behind the gates in the yard area
and 35 temporary parking spaces available for special events. Parking for the once yearly
open house event will be provided on-site, along Jersey Boulevard and on the vacant lot
across Jersey Boulevard from the fire station. Staff has determined that adequate parking
will be available for all on-site activities except for the once yearly open house event.
Participants and guests of the fire training activities and fire training personnel graduations
will be encouraged to carpool to the site or to use buses. The training events and
graduations may exceed the proposed permanent parking spaces and will require the use
of the on-site temporary over-flow parking spaces. Staff has determined that the use of
temporary and offsite parking is justified by the limited number of special events that will
take place and the fact that these events already take place at the project site, which
currently has a fewer number of on-site parking spaces. In the future, the RCFPD will
need to work with the neighboring property owners when the vacant lot across the street is
developed and is no longer available for overflow parking during the yearly open house
event.
H. Land Use Compatibility: The premise of a Conditional Use Permit is to ensure the
compatibility of adjacent uses and the separation of potential nuisance activities. The
existing fire station is currently used on a weekly basis for fire training activities. The
number of live fire training activities will not increase over current conditions. The new
facilities will operate from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and will provide adequate parking for all
the regular on-site activities. The project site is surrounded by industrial zoned land to the
north, east and west and by a Metrolink station to the south. The proposed activities will
not negatively impact the normal operations of the surrounding land uses. Smoke created
during the live fire training events will mostly dissipate prior to drifting beyond the property
lines. The Air Quality Analysis prepared for the project (Placeworks; January 29, 2015)
concludes that operation of the new facility, including onsite equipment, live fire training
exercises and the increase in staff size, will not exceed South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds. Staff does not foresee any negative impacts
from the proposed use on the surrounding land uses.
I. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(Oaxaca, Fletcher, Granger) on May 19, 2015. The Committee approved the project as
submitted and recommend that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for
final review.
J. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by each Committee on May 19,
2015. The Committee approved the project as presented.
K. Environmental Determination: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 related
to aesthetics, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, noise, air quality,
greenhouse gas emissions and geology and soils, there would be no substantial evidence
I,J-4
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

• July 22, 2015
Page 5
that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that
determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, 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.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 660-foot radius of the project site.

Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District-jersey Station 174 Fire Training[enter
RE: CUP Application Letter
DearTabe:
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) is pleased to submit our complete
design review package to the City ofRancho Cucamonga Planning Department for review and
consideration in regards to our new proposed Fire Training Center to be located at 11297 Jersey
Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730. Per our previous conversations, we understand that
the Planning Department shall n
evaluate new project it relates to the previously
approved [UPO9'2J for the existing Fire Station 174 and Maintenance Facility located on the
same site. The Fire Protection District is including this letter to exp/ain the proposed use, hours
of operation, number ofemployees on the largest shift' and the assumed parking neeos at chis
partiru|ar|ocation.
The proposed new fire training center /s Phase ] of the R[FPD's Long-Term Master Plan vision
for Fire Station 174 to house a fire training academy at this site. The new Training Facility will
allow the RCFPD, local utility agencies, and any surrounding community colleges with Firefighter
Programs to come to our proposed new site and be able to train in a safe environment to
replicate real mmdd "All-Risk" Siivacons located in the City uf Rancho Cucamonga and in
Southern California in general.
The proposed hours of operation for the New Training Facility shall be from 7:00 AA3. to 6:00
P.M., with seven (7) full time Training [enter Staff working in ihe 2" floor of the of de Fire
Training Academy Building. While the training facility is intended to operate during normal
daylight hours, there will be the potential to have some after-hours manipulative night drills
periodically. P|easp note the total emp!oype's located on she during maximum shift is IO
(inciuding six (G) firefighters stationed at the Fire Station 174, and 5 Maintenance Fac]ity Staff.
Fire Station Firefighters vvoru on 24 hour shifts).
EXHIBIT H �^�= .'e ' �+ '�c^ /� ',```�'

|J-33
As part of the CUP/Design Review Submittal process, the RCFPD is also seeking approval from
the Planning Department for permanent parking,as well as over-flow parking required during
peak-time event. Because the New Fire Training Center does not have specific parking
requirements identified within the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code,the RCFPD has
assessed and calculated the number of stalls they require during peak times,which is assumed
to be during community college firefighter graduation ceremonies and the annual open house
event. It is anticipated that during a graduation,there will be approximately 150 participants
on-site. During Open House, there would be approximately 4,000 visitors on-site over a four(4)
hour period.
Available parking on-site is as follows:
Parking Stalls Provided (9'x 18'w/1'-0"overhang):
Public Parking Stalls: 36 Stalls
Public Accessible Stalls: 4 Stalls
Private Parking Stalls: 56 Stalls
Overflow Parking Provided: 35 Stalls
Total Parking Stalls Available During Graduation Events: 131 Stalls
During events,it is typical that most participants and visitors carpool together.
It's important to note that the Open House is not a new proposed event, but an existing annual
event. While this event generates a need of up to 270 stalls per hour, it is accommodated on-
site and off-site by means of parking along the north and south sides of Jersey Blvd and by using
the vacant lot directly to the north of the Fire Station for additional over flow parking.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding our proposal, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Thank you,
Don Clougb sy, Deputy Fire Chief
Administration and Support

BACKGROUND
1. Project File: Design Review DRC2014-00931 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-00932
2. Related Files: Conditional Use Permit 89-23
3. Description of Project): The proposed project is for the expansion of the existing Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) Station Number 174, which is located at the
southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue at 11297 Jersey Boulevard. The
proposed structures include a new fire training center (14,789 square feet),
warehouse/parts-storage building (2,455 square feet), fitness building (3,186 square feet), training
house (3,064 square feet) and multi-story training tower with a lattice metal training structure
(15,415 square feet) for a total of 38,909 square feet of new structures. The project also includes a
complete reconfiguration of the parking lot for an overall total of 131 parking spaces. The
proposed live fire training tower will replace an existing two-story live fire training structure. In
addition to the new structures, the existing flashover chamber will be relocated on-site and will
include a scrubber to capture and filter emissions created by the live burns. The project site is
presently developed with a 17,034 square foot main fire station building, a 14,600 square foot
® maintenance building and a 2,349 square foot warehouse/covered carport along with 40 parking
stalls. The facility also includes a helipad, a flashover chamber used for live fire demonstrations
and training and a two-story burn container structure which is also used for live fire
demonstrations and training.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
C) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, ( ) ( ) (✓) ( )
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in
the area?
Comments:
a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within
a view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6.
b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State
Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga.
C) The site is located at the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue and
is surrounded by industrial development to the east and west, by vacant land to the north
and by a rail spur to the south. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of
this project as the proposed structures are designed to complement the existing on-site
buildings and are in keeping with the other industrial developments in the surrounding
area. Design review is required prior to approval. All utility lines along the perimeter of the
project site were undergrounded with the original development of the existing fire station.
The impact is not considered significant.
d) The project would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on-site plans
which require review for consistency with City standards that require shielding, diffusing,
or indirect lighting to avoid glare. The lighting will be selected and located to confine the
area of illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project.-
a)
roject.a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or ( ) ( ) (✓) ( )
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a

e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance. The site is located at the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard
and Milliken Avenue and is surrounded by industrial development to the east and west, by
vacant land to the north and by a rail spur to the south. There are approximately
209 acres of Farmland of Local Importance, Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
• Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga according to the
General Plan and the California Department of Conservation Farmland Map 2010.
Concentrations of Important Farmland are sparsely located in the southern and eastern
parts of the City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Farmland in
the southern portion of the City is characterized by industrial, residential, and commercial
land uses and Farmland in the eastern portion of the City is within the Etiwanda area and
planned for development. Further, a large number of the designated farmland parcels are
small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore,
they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The
General Plan FPEIR identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant
unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the
General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City.
C) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land or
timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the conversion of forest land to
non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are
zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. No mitigation is required.
d) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land or
timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related of the loss or conversion of forest
land to non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga
that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production.
e) The site is located at the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue and
is surrounded by industrial development to the east and west, by vacant land to the north
and by a rail spur to the south. The nearest agricultural use is more than 4 miles to the

northeast from the project site. Furthermore, there are no lands within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga that qualify as forest land. Therefore, there is no potential for conversion of
forest land to a non-forest use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project.-
a)
roject:a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
C) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State
ambient air quality standard (including releasing
emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
number of people?
Comments:
a) As discussed in subsection b, the project would not exceed any air quality standards and
would not interfere with the region's ability to comply with Federal and State air quality
standards for Criterion 1 (increase in the frequency or severity of violations of local air
quality) or Criterion 2 (exceed assumptions in the AQMP consistency with the 2003
AQMP). Therefore the project is consistent with the 2003 AQMP.
b) Both the State of California and the Federal government have established health-based
ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants. These pollutants include
ozone (03), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse
particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), fine particulate matter less
than 2.5 (PM2.$) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and
particulate matter (PM,o and PM2.5) are considered regional pollutants while the others
have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for
sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (1-12S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These
standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a
reasonable margin of safety.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under
the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The
California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage
transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated
when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this
include motor vehicles at an intersection, a commercial center, and on highways.
SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within in jurisdictional area. Direct
emissions from motor vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB).

The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions
from the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air
pollution problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion
(increasing temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind
speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the
ground.
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants:
ozone (Os), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), fine
particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO),
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead.
Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State
governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to
protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the
EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or "non-attainment" depending on whether the
regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Nonattainment areas have
additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) responsible for ensuring the Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast
Air Basin is in Non-Attainment Status for Ozone, PM,o and PM2.5.
Specific criteria for determining whether the potential air quality impacts of a project are
significant are set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The criteria
include daily emissions thresholds, compliance with State and national air quality
standards, and consistency with the current AQMP. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an air
quality impact study was prepared by Placeworks (January 29, 2015; Technical
Appendices A) that utilizes the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) Version
2013.2.2 to evaluate short-term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds,
long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds,
and Green House Gas Emissions.
Short Term (Construction): Project Emissions and Impacts
The proposed project is for the expansion of the existing Rancho Cucamonga Fire
Protection District (RCFPD) Station Number 174, which is located at the southwest corner
of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue at 11297 Jersey Boulevard. The proposed
structures include a new fire training center (14,789 square feet); warehouse/parts-
storage building (2,455 square feet), fitness building (3,186 square feet), training house
(3,064 square feet) and multi-story training tower with a lattice metal training structure
(15,415 square feet) for a total of 38,909 square feet of new structures. The project also
includes a complete reconfiguration of the parking lot for an overall total of 131 parking
spaces. The proposed live fire training tower will replace an existing two-story live fire
training structure. In addition to the new structures, the existing flashover chamber will be
relocated on-site and will include a scrubber to capture and filter emissions created by the
live burns. The project site is presently developed with a 17,034 square foot main fire
station building, a 14,600 square foot maintenance building and a 2,349 square foot
warehouse/covered carport along with 40 parking stalls. The facility also includes a
helipad, a flashover chamber used for live fire demonstrations and training and a two-story
Rev 4-7-15 burn container structure which is also used for live fire demonstrations and training. The

Equipment Exhausts and Related Construction Activities
Construction activities produce combustion emissions from various sources such as site
grading, utility engines, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, asphalt paving, and
motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. Exhaust emissions from construction
activities envisioned on-site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The

Impact Incorporated Impact Im act
use of construction equipment on-site would result in localized exhaust emissions;
however, as shown in the tables above, the amount will not exceed any threshold of
significance.
Fugitive Dust
Fugitive dust emissions are generally emissions associated with land clearing and
exposure of soils to the air and wind, and cut-and-fill grading operations. Dust generated
during construction varies substantially on a project-by-project basis, depending on the
level of activity, the specific operation and weather conditions at the time of construction.
Construction emissions can vary greatly depending on the level of activity, the specific
operations taking place, the equipment being operated, local soils, weather conditions and
other factors. The proposed project will be required to comply with SCAQMD Rules 402
and 403 to control fugitive dust.
Architectural Coatings
Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCS and are part of the 03
precursors. Based on the project scope for the construction of 39,909 square feet of new
on-site structures, the project will result in the maximum emission of 11 lbs./day of VOC
emissions (Placeworks; January 29, 2015; Technical Appendices A). This includes VOC
emissions during the grading and construction phases of the project. Therefore, this VOC
emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of
75 lbs./day.
Odors
Heavy-duty equipment in the project area during construction would emit odors. However,
the construction activity would cease to occur after individual construction is completed.
No other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project,
and no mitigation measures are required. In compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 the
proposed uses are not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. Therefore,
objectionable odors posing a health risk to potential on-site and existing off-site uses
would not occur as a result of the proposed project.
Naturally Occurring Asbestos
The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County, which is not among the
counties that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition,
there has been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the
potential risk for naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small
and less-than-significant.
Based on the discussion above, short-term construction impacts will be less-than-
significant.
Cumulative Impacts: Short-Term Construction Emissions
Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga
area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases

of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction
worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would
also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust
would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere,
increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going
industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and
operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. Nevertheless, fugitive dust
and equipment emissions are required to be assessed. The General Plan Final Program
Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the
future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G)
estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone
(Os), and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM,o) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be
mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. This city-wide increase in
emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a
Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as
noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR.
With implementation of the following best practices and mitigation measures from the
City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize short-term air quality
® impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less-than-significant:
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so
as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the
construction site for City verification.
2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit
construction plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected
equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low
emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was
investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also
conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District(SCAQMD) as well as City Planning Staff.
3) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel
powered equipment where feasible.
4) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
5) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule
1108.
6) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in
• SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or
high-volume, low-pressure spray.

7) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
• Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
• Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
• Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.
• Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during
and after the end of work periods.
• Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances
and use sound engineering practices.
• Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried
over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling.
Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
• Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding
25mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. .
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
8) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)) a minimum of
twice daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
9) Speed limits shall be reduced to 15 miles per hour on unpaved surfaces.
10) Street sweeping shall conform to SCAQMD Rule 1186 (Compliant Sweepers).
11) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB)shall be applied to
all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM,o emissions.
Proiect Lonq Term (Operational) Emissions and Impacts
Long-term air pollutant emissions are those associated with stationary sources and mobile
sources involving project-related changes. The proposed project would result in a net
increase in the amount of development in the area; therefore, the proposed project would
result in net increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The stationary
source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for on-site
buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area.
Additionally, onsite emissions will also be generated from the burning of combustible
materials during live fire exercises and flashover chamber exercises, both of which
already take place at the project site. The number of live fire exercises and flashover

chamber exercises will not increase with the proposed project. Emissions from the
flashover chamber exercises will be reduced from the current state (which take place
without an emissions scrubber) through the installation of a flashover chamber emissions
scrubber (which is a required operational mitigation measure listed below).. Emissions
were calculated on a worst case scenario including the emissions produced by the
periodic live fire exercises and flashover chamber exercises. As shown in the following
tables, project implementation will not exceed any significance thresholds. No long-term,
operational impacts will occur as a result of the project.

upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan FPEIR;
therefore, all developments would be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated
on a project basis to a less-than-significant level. This City-wide increase in emissions
was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of
Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the
Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR.
With implementation of the following mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General
Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts, the
project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less-than-significant:
12) Install an emissions scrubber on the flashover chamber that filters 99 percent
of the sub-micron particulates.
13) Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to
minimize vehicle idling at curbsides.
14) Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle services.
• 15) Schedule truck deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours.
16) Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with
automated time clocks or occupant sensors.
17) Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water
consumption and to provide passive solar benefits.
18) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to
comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure.
19) Comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources PRC-03, and Stationary
Sources Operations Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance and ADV-MISC to
reduce emissions of restaurant operations.
20) All industrial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks shall not be left
idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes).
21) All industrial facilities shall designate preferential parking for vanpools.
22) All industrial businesses with 50 or more employees shall be required to post
both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas.
C) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 4.3), continued development would contribute
to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as
a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
• ultimately adopted by the City Council.

With implementation of mitigation measures listed in subsection b) above from the City's
2010 General Plan FPEIR, which are designed to minimize long-term, operational air
quality impacts, cumulative impacts will be less-than-significant.
d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic
facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant
impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is not located within
1/4 mile of sensitive receptors.
During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading
the site. The mitigation measures listed under subsection b above and the following
mitigation measure will reduce any potential impact to less-than-significant levels.
23) All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply with
South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445, Wood Burning
Devices. Rule 445 was adopted in March 2008 to reduce 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.
e) Construction odors (Short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use
including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and
would dissipate rapidly. Operational odors (Long-term) will be created by the live fire
training exercises and flashover chamber exercises, both of which already take place on
the project site and will not increase in number or intensity with the proposed project.
Odors created by the flashover chamber exercises will decrease from their current state
through the installation of a flashover chamber emissions scrubber, as discussed in
subsection b. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

• Comments:
a) The project site is located in an area developed with industrial uses. The project site is
developed with RCFPD Fire Station #174 and does not include any undeveloped land.
According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR,
the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore,
development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals
because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
b) The project site is developed with RCFPD Fire Station #174 and is located in an urban
area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the project
will not have any impacts. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
C) No wetland habitat is present on-site. As a result, project implementation would have no
impact on these resources.
d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous
natural open space areas. The site is developed with RCFPD Fire Station #174 and does
not include any undeveloped land. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south
trending tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence.
Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) There are no heritage trees on the project site that will be removed as a result of the
project; therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with any local ordinance.
Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated.
• f) Neither the City nor the SOI are within an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved State
Habitat Conservation Plan area. The project site is not located within a local conservation
area according to the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Figure RC-1.
No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur.

Comments:
a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of
Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). The project site
is developed with RCFPD Fire Station #174 and does not include any undeveloped land.
Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site;
however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native
Americans according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6). Construction activity,
particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could. adversely affect or eliminate
existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program
Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based
on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the
FPEIR shall be implemented:
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.
C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on
an alluvial fan. According to the research performed at the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County and the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or
resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the Sphere-of-
Influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for
paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during
the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene
epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern
man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by
Quaternary alluvium per the Public Safety Element of the General Plan; therefore, the
following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
2) 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.
d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The
project site is developed with RCFPD Fire Station #174 and does not include any
undeveloped land. No known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No
• evidence is in place to suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The
California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are
discovered on-site, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made
a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
5097.98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation

substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal
systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in
the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to
the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Red Hill
Fault passes within 2.7 miles north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies
approximately 5.3 miles north of the site. These faults are both capable of producing Mw
6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5
earthquakes is about 15 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of
up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is about 17 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults
can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard
Conditions will ensure that geologic impacts are less than-significant.
b) The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within a designated Soil Erosion Control Area Exhibit
4.7-4 of the General Plan FPEIR. The proposed project will require the excavation,

stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to
strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing
sand and dust, and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily
exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust
control; however, development of this project under the General Plan would help to
reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and
landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation measures
shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels:
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved
by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with
SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon
as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by
the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-
site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to
• minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes.
4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or
more to reduce PM10 emissions.
C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.7) indicates that there is a potential for the hillside
areas at the northern end of the City and in the SOI for slope failure, landslides, and/or
erosion. Areas subject to slope instability contain slopes of 30 percent or greater.
Landslides may be induced by seismic activity, rain, or construction. The City Hillside
Development Regulations prohibits the development within slopes of 30 percent or greater
and limit the number of units that could be constructed within the Hillside Residential and
Very Low Density Residential designations in the Hillside areas. The site is not within an
Earthquake hazard zone or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General
Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-2. Soil types on-site consist of Tujunga Loamy Sand Soil
association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil
deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on-site
consist of Tujunga Loamy Sand Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit
4.7-3. These soils exist on slopes from 0 to 5 percent and have slow runoff. No adverse
impacts are anticipated.
e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for
wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. No
adverse impacts are anticipated.

7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) (✓) ( ) ()
indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the
environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of greenhouse gases? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
Comments:
a) Regulations and Significance—The Federal government began studying the phenomenon
of global warming as early as 1979 with the National Climate Protection Act(92 Stat. 601).
In June of 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger established California's Green House Gas
(GHG) emissions reduction target in Executive Order(EO) S-3-05. The EO created goals
to reduce GHG emissions for the State of California to 2000 levels by 2010; GHG
emissions reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; and GHG emissions reduced to 80 percent
below 1990 levels by 2050. Additionally, on December 7, 2009 the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) issued findings regarding GHGs under rule 202(a) of the
Clean Air Act: (1) that GHGs endanger human health; and (2) that this will be the first
steps to regulating GHGs through the Federal Clean Air Act. The USEPA defines 6 key
GHGs (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)). The combined
emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines
contribute to GHG pollution.
The western states, including Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and
Washington, already experience hotter, drier climates. California is a substantial
contributor of GHGs and is expected to see an increase of 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
over the next century.
Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead
agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in
1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of CO2
equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main
strategies for meeting the 2020 deadline. Significant progress can be made toward the
2020 goal through existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. Other
solutions would include improving the State's infrastructure, and transitioning to cleaner
and more efficient sources of energy.
The ARB estimates that 38 percent of the State's GHG emissions in 2004 was from
transportation sources followed by electricity generation (both in-State and out-of-State) at
28 percent and industrial at 20 percent. Residential and commercial activities account for
9 percent, agricultural uses at 6 percent, high global warming potential gases at 3 percent,
and recycling and waste at 1 percent.
It is not anticipated that any single development project would have a substantial effect on
global climate change but that GHG emissions from the project would combine with
emissions across California, the United States, and the world to cumulatively contribute to
global climate change. Therefore, consistent with the ARB's Climate Change Scoping
Plan, the proposed project was evaluated for consistency with the Early Action Measures
Rev 4-7-15

Impact Incorporated Impact Impact
(Scoping Plan is a recommendation until adopted through normal rulemaking). The
proposed project is assessed by determining its consistency with the 37 Recommended
Actions identified by ARB. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 97 and CEQA, the project
has been analyzed based on a qualitative analysis (CEQA 15064.4). Additionally, the
ARB was directed through SB 375 to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to
be achieved within the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035.
SCAQMD and ARB maintain ambient air quality monitoring stations in the Basin. The
stations closest to the project site are the Upland station and the Fontana-Arrow Highway
station. The Upland station monitors all criteria pollutant except PM,o, PM2.5, and S02
which are monitored at the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the
project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal
standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM,o,
and PM2.s levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly.
Project Related Sources of GHG's — Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of
California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered
to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any ambient air quality
standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive
® receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental
plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA
Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing
an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead
Agency.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has not adopted a threshold of significance for GHG
emissions. However, a screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year is based upon
South Coast Air Quality Management District staffs proposed GHG screening threshold
for stationary sources emissions for non-industrial projects, as described in the
SCAQMD's Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules and
Plans.
Project related GHG's would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based
on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis prepared by Placeworks (January 29, 2015; Technical
Appendices A), total project related emissions would be 186 MTCO2eq/year, as shown in
the following table:

As shown in the table above, direct and indirect operational emissions associated with the
project as compared to the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance of 3,000 MTCO2e
per year would result in a less than significant impact with respect to GHG emissions.
Cumulative Short Term (Construction) GHG Emissions — The General Plan FPEIR
(Section 4.5) indicates that GHG emissions result from construction activities associated
with diesel-powered construction equipment and other combustion sources (i.e.
Generators, workers vehicles, material delivery, etc.). The GHG emitted by construction
equipment is primarily carbon dioxide (CO2). The highest levels of construction related
GHG's occur during site preparation including demolition, grading and excavation.
Construction related GHG's are also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction
workers traveling to the job site. Exhaust emissions from construction activities would
vary each day with the changes in construction activity on-site. The combustion of fossil-
based fuels creates GHG's such as CO2, Cha, and N20. CH4 is emitted during the fueling
of heavy equipment.
Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis prepared by Placeworks (January 29, 2015;
Technical Appendices A), no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term construction
impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the
project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim
threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also
considered minimal. The proposed project would have less than a significant short-term
cumulative impact with implementation of the following enforceable actions, which are
included as mitigation measures in accordance with Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010
General Plan Update FPEIR:
1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air
pollutant emission in compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 regarding fugitive

dust including treating the site with water or other soil-stabilizing agent twice
daily or replanting disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
2) The construction contractor shall select construction equipment based on
low-emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on
the grading plan that ensures all construction equipment will be tuned and
maintained in accordance with the manufactures' specification.
3) Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes.
4) Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or
diesel-powered engines where feasible.
5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak-hour traffic.
6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for the
construction crew.
Cumulative Long Term (Operational) GHG's Emissions — The primary source of GHG
emissions generated by the proposed project would be from motor vehicles, combustion of
natural gas for space and water heating, as well as off-site GHG emissions from
generation of electricity consumed by the proposed land use development over a long
term. CEQA requires the Lead Agency to review the project for"adequacy, completeness,
and a good faith effort at full disclosure," to determine potential impacts of GHG's.
Therefore the project has been analyzed based on methodologies and information
available to the City at the time this document was prepared. Estimates are based on past
performance and represent a scenario that is a worst case with the understanding that
technology changes may reduce GHG emissions in the future. To date, there is no
established quantified GHG emission threshold.
The project involves the expansion of an existing fire station and fire training facility by
38,909 square feet and therefore would result in the net increase of both stationary and
mobile source emissions. The majority of energy consumption typically occurs during
project operation (more than 80 percent and less than 20 percent during construction
activities). The proposed project will comply with the statewide GHG emissions reduction
measures and will be consistent with the California Office of the Attorney General's
recommended measures to reduce GHG emission including the use water efficient
landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks.
The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate
Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the
CARB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. The proposed project will incorporate
several design features including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways
that provide accessibility to public sidewalks. Additionally, the City is participating in the
development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) with SANBAG for the San
Bernardino County area pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 375.
® Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis prepared by Placeworks (January 29, 2015;
Technical Appendices A), no significant impacts to GHGs from long-term, operational
impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the

project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAOMD's interim
threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also
considered minimal. The proposed project would have less than a significant long-term
operational impact with implementation of the following enforceable actions, which are
included as mitigation measures in accordance with Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010
General Plan Update FPEIR:
7) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured
locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource
efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way
including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) materials.
8) Design all buildings to exceed California Building Code Title 24 energy
standard including but not limited to any combination of;
• Increased insulation.
• Limit air leakage through the structure.
• Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and
cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances.
• Landscape and develop site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and
landscaping.
• Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems.
• Install light colored "cool" roofs and cool pavements.
• Install solar or light emitting diodes (LED's)for outdoor lighting.
9) Prepare a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the
project and include the following;
• Install water efficient landscapes and irrigation systems and devices in
compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance.
• Use reclaimed water for landscaping within the project if available and/or
install the infrastructure to deliver and use reclaimed water.
• Design building to be water efficient by installing water efficient fixtures
and appliances including low flow faucets, dual flush toilets and
waterless urinals/water heaters.
• Design irrigation to control runoff and to remove water to non-vegetated
surfaces.

10) Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste. Provide interior and
exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas.
Educate employees about reducing waste and about recycling.
b) The project involves the expansion of an existing fire station and fire training facility by
38,909 square feet, which is consistent with the General Plan. No other applicable plans,
policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the
project. The 2010 General Plan Update includes adopted policies and Standard
Conditions that respond to the Attorney General and the California Air Pollution Control
Officers Association (CAPCOA). The General Plan policies and Standard Conditions
guide infill and sustainable development reliant on pedestrian connections, re-use and
rehabilitation of existing structures, link transportation opportunities, promote development
that is sensitive to natural resources and incentivizes denser mixed use projects that
maximizes diverse opportunities. The proposed project includes water efficient
landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks and
therefore is consistent with the sustainability and climate change policies of the General
Plan. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed
the impacts of GHG's and determined that GHG emissions would be cumulatively
considerable, which would be a significant, unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A
Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council.
Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis prepared by Placeworks (January 29, 2015;
Technical Appendices A), no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term, construction
impacts or long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project. Because
the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim
threshold of significance, the contribution of the project to GHGs from short-term
construction and long-term operational cumulative impacts is also considered minimal.
With implementation of the mitigation measures listed in subsection a), less than
significant impacts would occur as a result of the project. In addition, the proposed project
would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly (AB) 32 and
therefore would be less than a significant impact.

Comments:
a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This
is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and
maintenance activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through
construction activities that would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease,
and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The City
participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service
Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other in the State. The
City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and
is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and
handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant
impacts to a level less-than-significant. The existing fire station stores hazardous
materials including gasoline, diesel and natural gas for their vehicles and other on-site
operations as well chemicals used to extinguish fires. The RCFPD has a Hazardous Risk
Management Plan on file with San Bernardino County Hazmat Division for the hazardous
material currently stored at the project site. No adverse impacts are expected.
b) The proposed project does not include the use of any additional hazardous materials or
volatile fuels not already used on the project site. Existing on-site volatile fuels include
gasoline, diesel and natural gas storage tanks and dispensers as well as an air refilling
tank used for firefighting purposes. The City participates in a countywide interagency
coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more
comprehensive than any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan
that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved
2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations
concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials or volatile fuels will reduce
the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
C) There are no schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The project site is located
approximately 2.8 miles from the nearest existing or proposed school, Cucamonga
Elementary School (8677 Archibald Avenue). No impacts are anticipated.

d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site.
Recent site inspections did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping
of hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated.
e) The site is located within an airport land use plan area according to the General Plan
Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1, though is not within 2 miles of a public
airport. The project site is located approximately 4 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport
and is offset north of the flight path. The project is located within the Airspace Protection
Area according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1.
Development within this protection area will comply with FAR Part 77 regarding height
limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. Per the LA/Ontario
International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Map 2-4), the project site is not within
an area with building height restrictions. No impact is anticipated.
f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is
located approximately 2 and 1/2 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. No impact
is anticipated.
g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and
evacuation routes to existing development. New development will be located on a site that
has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated
every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of
Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Because the project includes at least two
points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes,
including local fire ordinances, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind-driven fires in the Very
High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the
proposed project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
according to General Plan Figure PS-1.

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD).
The project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The State of
California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. As
designed, all water used during the live fire training activities will be stored in a
60,000-gallon underground tank and treated on-site. Stored water will be reused on-site
and will not be discharged directly to the sewer or storm drain systems. The system will
capture all runoff water in the area where the live fire exercises take place including storm
water runoff. It is estimated that approximately 40 to 50 percent of the water used during
the fire exercise will be captured by the water collection system, with the remaining water
lost in the form of steam and evaporation. The General Construction Permit treats any
construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial activity, requiring a permit under the
State's General NPDES permit. The State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB),
through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region,
administers these permits.
Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a
discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General
Permit. The General Permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during
construction activities, including site clearance and grading:
Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that
• would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction pollutants

from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion
from moving off-site into receiving waters.
• Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.
• Perform inspections of all BMPs.
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges.
A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an
NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To
comply with the NPDES, the project construction contractor will be required to prepare an
SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for
post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has
submitted a Preliminary WQMP Exhibit, prepared by Epic Engineers (March 26, 2015),
Runoff from driveways, roads and other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through
an on-site drainage system. The project includes a 60,000-gallon underground water
storage and treatment system that will collect all water, including storm water runoff, in the
area where the live fire exercise will take place. BMPs include both structural and
non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant
levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural
controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing
erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed
by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices such as periodic
parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm
drain system. The following mitigation measures are required to control additional storm
water effluent:
Construction Activities:
1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the
Building Official for approval, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities
entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to
control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities
are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall
include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of
grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods
experienced in Southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance
program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either
on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a
remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.
0 3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes
must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when
there is rainfall or other runoff.

4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed
prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order
to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site.
5) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a
Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm
Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that
this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification
Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under
the NPDES General Construction Permit.
Post- Construction Operational:
1) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City
Building Official for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP),
including a project description and identifying Best Management Practices
(BMPs) that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain
system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the
structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for
New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho
Cucamonga in June 2004.
2) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the
use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored
and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable
growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum
of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to
the issuance of grading permits.
b) According to CVWD, approximately 48 percent of the City's water is currently provided
from water supplies coming from the underlying Chino and Cucamonga Groundwater
Basins. CVWD complies with its prescriptive water rights as managed by the Chino Basin
Watermaster and will not deplete the local groundwater resource. The proposed project
will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not
within an area designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General
Plan Figure RC-3. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but
would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 300 to 470 feet below the
ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.9), continued
development citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact.
CVWD has plans to meet this increased need to the year 2030. No impacts are
anticipated.
C) The project includes the construction of 39,909 square feet of new on-site structures,
along with additional paved parking area that will cause changes in absorption rates,
drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff; however, the project
will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm
drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows and to an existing
60,000-gallon underground tank designed to capture water used during water used during
live fire training exercises. The underground tank will also capture storm water runoff from
a portion of the project site. Captured water will be reused on-site for the fire training

exercises and to irrigate the on-site landscaping. The project design includes landscaping
of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be
approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits.
Therefore, the project will not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The
impact is not considered significant.
d) The project includes the construction of 39,909 square feet of new on-site structures,
along with additional paved parking area that will cause changes in absorption rates;
however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be

and to an existing 60,000-gallon underground tank designed to capture water used during
fire training exercises. The underground tank will also capture storm water runoff from a
portion of the project site. Captured water will be reused on-site for the fire training
exercises and to irrigate the on-site landscaping. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be
approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits.
Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. No
impacts are anticipated.
e) The project includes the construction of 39,909 square feet of new on-site structures,
along with additional paved parking area that will cause changes in absorption rates,
drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff; however, runoff will
either be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle
the flows or to an existing 60,000-gallon underground storage tank. The project will not
result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. All water used during the live fire
training activities will be store, treated and reused on-site and will not be discharged to the
sewer or storm drain systems. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the
Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore,
increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are
anticipated.
f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary
increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm
event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The proposed project includes the
redevelopment of the project site; therefore, is required to comply with the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. With
implementation of the mitigation measures specified under subsection a), less than
significant impacts are anticipated.
1) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Preliminary Water
Quality Management Exhibit prepared by Epic Engineers (March 19, 2015) to
reduce construction pollutants from entering the storm drain system to the
maximum extent practical.

i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to adequately convey floodwaters from a 100-year storm event. The system is
substantially improved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local
drainage flows. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the
City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined channels, and underground storm drains as
shown in General Plan Figure PS-6. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood
hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
D There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site; therefore impacts from
seiche and tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of
the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain
streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow
impacts to the level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes
several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and
north of the City.
10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or
regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the
project (including, but not limited to, a general plan,
specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning
ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
mitigating an environmental effect?
C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan ( ) ( ) ( ) (�)
or natural community conservation plan?
Comments:
a) The site is located at the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue and
is surrounded by industrial development to the east and west, by vacant land to the north
and by a rail spur to the south. The project site is developed with RCFPD Fire Station
Number 174. The project is accessed by an existing public street, Jersey Boulevard, and
will not negatively impact the adjacent roadway system or physically divide an established
community. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The project requires the approval of a Development Review and modification of an
existing Conditional Use Permit. The project site land use designation is Medium Impact
Heavy Industrial (MINI). The project site is surrounded by industrial development to the
east and west, by a vacant parcel with the same General Plan land use designation to the
north and by a Metrolink Station and parking lot to the south with a Mixed Use zoning
designation. The existing fire station is a conditionally permitted use within the Medium
Impact Heavy Industrial (MINI) land use district, which was intended for use by heavy
manufacturers, warehousing and freight handling. The project is consistent with the
General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, or
SCAG's Regional Comprehensive. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan
area. According to General Plan Figure RC-4 and Section 4.10 of the General Plan

FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore,
development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals
because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan.
11. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
resource that would be of value to the region and the
residents of the State?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local
general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as a State Aggregate Resources Area according to the City
General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1; therefore, there is no impact.
b) The site is not designated by the General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1, as a
valuable mineral resource recovery site; therefore, there is no impact.
12. NOISE. Would the project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
excess of standards established in the local general
plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of
other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels?
C) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
levels in the project vicinity above levels existing
without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2
miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the
project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
would the project expose people residing or working in
the project area to excessive noise levels?
Comments:
a) The project site is not within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards for industrial
uses according to General Plan Figure PS-9 at build-out. The proposed project is for the
expansion of RCFPD Fire Station Number 174. The expansion of the existing fire station

will not create new noise sources. The existing fire station does include the periodic use of
sirens from emergency vehicles and from the use of water pumps. The fire station
currently and will continue to host up to 5 live fire training exercises per week. The
expansion of the existing fire station will not exceed the permitted noise levels outlined in
the Development Code for uses within the Medium Impact/Heavy Industrial (MINI)
Development District. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
b) The project is for the expansion of RCFPD Fire Station Number 174. The existing fire
station and the proposed expansion do not include activities that create ground borne
vibration or noise levels. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
C) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. The project
will not significantly increase traffic to the project site as analyzed in Section 16
Transportation/Traffic. The existing and proposed live fire training exercises will comply
with the performance standards set out in the City's Development Code and will not
significantly increase ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project. As such, no
impacts are anticipated.
d) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will
generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to
mitigate the short-term noise impacts:
1) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m.
and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday.
2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified
in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at the property line.
Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as
specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050. Monitoring at other times
may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their
findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels
exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the
Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then
construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance
with above noise standards or halted.
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport
of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be
required:
3) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed
100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the
developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction
traffic haul routes and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To the

extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive
land uses or residential dwellings.
e) The site is located within an Airport Land Use Plan area, though is not within 2 miles of a
public airport. The Project is located approximately 3.5 miles northerly of the Ontario
Airport and is offset north of the flight path. Per the Noise Impact Map in the LA/Ontario
International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Map 2-3), the project site is not in area
that exceeds the City's noise standards. No impact is anticipated.
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west
of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.
13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project.
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
directly (for example, by proposing new homes and
businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
C) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Comments:
a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population
growth. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area. Once constructed, the proposed project will have a limited
number of employees; hence, will not create a demand for additional housing as a
majority of the employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding
communities. No significant impacts are anticipated.
b) The project site is developed with RCFPD Fire Station Number 174 and therefore
contains no existing housing units that would be displaced. No adverse impact expected.
C) The project site is developed with RCFPD Fire Station Number 174 and therefore contains
no existing housing units that would be displaced. No adverse impact expected.
14. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial
adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new
or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order
to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:

Comments:
a) The site, located at the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Boulevard, is
developed with RCFPD Fire Station Number 174. In the case of an emergency in which
the Fire Station 174 cannot provide its normal emergency services to personnel working
at Fire Station 174 and in the surrounding area, emergency services will be provided by
RCFPD Fire Station#172, which is 3.2 miles to the northwest, No impacts are anticipated.
b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change
the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. No
impacts are anticipated
C) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Cucamonga School District and
the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The project does not propose new housing
units or a significant impact in the number of employees in the area, no impacts are
anticipated. -
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park, Old Town Park (10033 Feron Boulevard), is located 2.5 miles from the
project site. The project will not generate new residents that would require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities.- No impacts
are anticipated.
e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services.
According to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.14), there will be a projected increase in
library space demand from additional residential development. Industrial projects are
exempt from library development fees. The proposed project is consistent with the
General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore no
adverse impact is expected.
15. RECREATION. Would the project.-
a)
roject:a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and
regional parks or other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or
require the construction or expansion of recreational
facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?

16. TRANSPORTATIONITRAFFIC. Would the project:
a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
establishing measures of effectiveness for the
performance of the circulation system, taking into
account all modes of transportation including mass
transit and non-motorized travel and relevant
components of the circulation system, including but
not limited to intersections, streets, highways and
freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass
transit?
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
program, including, but not limited to a level of service
standards and travel demand measures, or other
standards established by the county congestion
management agency for designated roads or
highways?
C) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
either an increase in traffic levels or a change in
location that result in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or

D Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or
safety of such facilities.
Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate approximately 72 vehicle trips daily.
The project is estimated to create 18 two-way peak hour trips, and will thus not create a
significant impact on the environment. The proposed project is for the expansion of
Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District Station Number 174. With the proposed
expansion, there will be 18 full-time employees on-site during the largest shift. Vehicle
trips were calculated by inferring that each employee will make 4 daily trips to and from
the project site. Two trips back and forth between the project site and each employee's
home and two trips for each employee to go off-site for lunch and errands. Projects that
generate more than 100 two-way peak hour trips are considered by the City to have a

significant impact on the environment. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16),
continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area.
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was
prepared and impacts evaluated. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16),
continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area.
The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic
volume, or congestion at intersections. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
b) Based on there being 18 full-time employees on-site during the largest shift, it is estimated
that there will be 18 two-way peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino
County voters passed the Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose
appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation
improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a
Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees.
As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the
Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This
project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted Transportation
Development Fee prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. The project is in an area that
is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively
impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials. As such, no impacts are
anticipated.
C) Located approximately 3.5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. The project is located within the
Airspace Protection Area according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan
FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Development within this protection area will comply with FAR Part 77
regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. Per the
LA/Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Map 2-4), the project site is
not within an area with building height restrictions. No impacts are anticipated.
d) The project is in an area that is mostly developed. The project site is developed with
RCFPD Fire Station Number 174 and the required street improvements (curb, gutter, and
sidewalk) are in place. The project design does not include any sharp curves or
dangerous intersections or farming uses. The project will, therefore, not create a
substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. No impacts are anticipated.
e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles during
construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an
inadequate emergency access. No impacts are anticipated.
f) The proposed project is for the expansion of the existing RCFPD Station Number 174.
The project will not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public
transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of
such facilities. No impacts are anticipated.

17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing
facilities, the construction of which could cause

d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
project from existing entitlements and resources, or
are new or expanded entitlements needed?
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
provider, which serves or may serve the project that it
has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected
demand in addition to the provider's existing
commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste
disposal needs?
g) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
regulations related to solid waste?
Comments:
a) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 and RP-4 treatment plants. The RP-1
capacity is sufficient to exceed the additional development within the western and
southern areas of the City. The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of
28 mgd which is considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in
wastewater generation for build out of the General Plan. All water used during the live fire
training activities will be treated on-site and stored in an existing 60,000-gallon
underground tank and will not be discharged to the sewer or storm drain systems. The
captured water will be reused on-site for future training exercises and to irrigate the on-
site landscaping. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana
Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated.
b) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. All
water used during the live fire training activities will be captured, stored and treated on-site
in a 60,000-gallon underground tank and will not be discharged to the sewer or storm
drain systems. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana
Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated.

c) Runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to
handle the flows, and an existing 60,000-gallon underground tank. The underground tank
will capture water used during the live fire training exercises and from storm and runoff
water captured by the underground tanks area drains. The captured water will be reused
on-site and will not be discharged to the sewer or storm drain systems. A Grading and
Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to
issuance of Grading Permits. The impact is not considered significant.
d) The project is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water
supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this project. No impacts are
anticipated.
e) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. No
impacts are anticipated.
f) Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes
the refuse at a permitted landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City's solid waste
disposal needs. No impacts are anticipated.
g) This project complies with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations regarding
solid waste. The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction
procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.
18. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE

Comments:
a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City
of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Figure RC-4. The project site is developed with
RCFPD Station Number 174 and does not include any unpaved or native land. It is
unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site. No impacts are
anticipated.
b) If the proposed project were approved, the applicant would be required to develop the site
in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2010 General Plan
was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of
build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the
General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to Aesthetics, Agriculture and
Forest Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change and Mineral Resources. Mitigation
measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce
impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan
Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section
15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing
mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural
open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no
• further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required.
C) The project site is developed with RCFPD Station Number 174 and does not include any
unpaved or native land. The proposed expansion of the existing facility will not cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study
identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially
significant impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels.
Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once
construction activities were completed. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study
will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one

This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management- The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action,what action will betaken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

d. That the proposed design, 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 proposed fire training center is designed to comply with all local,
State and Federal air quality and fire safety requirements and will not negatively impact the other
land uses in the surrounding area.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed 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 Negative Declaration 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.
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 prior to approving the requested Design Review entitlement.
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 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.

lattice metal training structure (15,415 square feet), for a total of 38,909 square feet of new
structures. The project includes a complete reconfiguration of the parking lot for an overall total of
131 parking spaces. The proposed live fire training tower and flashover chamber will replace
existing on-site structures; and
e. The project complies with or exceeds all related Development Code criteria. The
building setback from Milliken Avenue is 100 feet(45 feet required), 70 feet from Jersey Boulevard
(35 feet required) and 5 feet from the interior property lines (0 and 5 feet required). The maximum
building height is 70 feet (70 foot maximum) and is setback 120 feet from the Milliken Avenue.
Landscape coverage is 15 percent (5 percent required) and Floor Area Ratio is 27 percent
(maximum FAR is 50 percent); and
f. A total of 131 on-site parking spaces are proposed. This includes 40 parking
spaces available for public use, 56 staff parking spaces behind the gates in the yard area and 35
temporary parking spaces available for special events. Parking for the once yearly open house
event will be provided on-site along Jersey Boulevard and on the vacant lot across Jersey Boulevard
from the fire station; and
g. Fire Station Number 174 is currently operated by 6 firefighters and 5 maintenance
personnel.The new training facility will have 7 full time employees and will operate from 7:00 a.m.to
6:00 p.m.There will be 18 regular employees on site during the largest shift,with firefighters working
24 hour shifts. The fire training activities will take place on a weekly basis and will used by RCFPD
employees, local utility agencies and surrounding community colleges with firefighting programs.
The facility will also be used for firefighter graduations and for an annual fire station open house.
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. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with
all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code, Municipal Code,General Plan,and any applicable
Specific Plans or City regulations/standards. The Medium Impact Heavy Industrial (MIHI) zoning
district is a subcategory of the Heavy Industrial (HI) Development District. The General Plan states
that the Heavy Industrial (HI)development district is intended for more intense land uses.The project
is for the expansion of Fire Station #174 and will include expanded fire training facilities. The
operation of the new facility will include regular classes and live fire training exercises, along with
occasional large gatherings for fire personnel graduations and a once yearly fire station open house.
The Heavy Industrial (HI) development district is well suited for the proposed activities as the HI
development district in intended for operations that include increased traffic and that generate noise,
odor and vibrations. The Development Code permits Public Safety Facilities within the Medium
Impact Heavy Industrial (MIHI)zoning district with approval of a Conditional Use Permit.The project
complies with all related Development Code requirements including building setbacks, height
limitations, floor area ratio, design guidelines and on-site parking.
b. The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use
including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and can be conditioned to meet all
related performance criteria and development standards. The Medium Impact Heavy Industrial
(MINI)zoning district is well suited for the proposed use as it is designed to accommodate uses that
I,J —124
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-XX
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2014-00932- RCFPD
July 22, 2015
Page 3
• may generate increased noise, odor and vibrations and may include frequent truck traffic. The fire
station and training facility will include the use of firefighting vehicles,small motorized equipment,the
occasional use of sirens and increased vehicle traffic during live fire training events.All uses,though,
will comply will the performance standards for the Medium Impact Heavy Industrial (MIHI) zoning
district.
C. Granting the application would not be detrimental to the public, health, safety,
morals, or welfare. The proposed fire training center is designed to comply with all local, State and
Federal air quality and fire safety requirements and will not negatively impact the other land uses in
the surrounding area. Additionally, the Air Quality Analysis prepared for the project (Placeworks;
January 29, 2015) concluded that operation of the new facility, including onsite equipment, live fire
training exercises and the increase in staff size, will not exceed South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed 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 Negative Declaration 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
0 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 prior to approving the requested Design Review entitlement.
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 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.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: Frito-Lay currently maintains a 430,643 square foot office, manufacturing, and
warehouse facility on the project site. This facility, primarily of concrete tilt-up construction
includes a 33,244 square foot office and 397,399 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing
floor area. The applicant is proposing a 46,836 square foot warehouse addition on the west
side of their existing warehouse building, adjacent to the employee parking area, and roughly
parallel to their Archibald Avenue street frontage (Exhibit B). The primary feature of the 46,836
square foot warehouse addition is a 32,590 square foot, 92-foot high Automatic Storage and
Retrieval System (ASRS)warehouse (Exhibits B & C). An adjacent 14,246 square foot low bay
(with mezzanine) warehouse addition will provide 11 dock-high doors for truck loading.
The 32,590 square foot ASRS warehouse addition is approximately 120 feet (east to west), by
approximately 265 feet (north to south) (Exhibit C), and 92 feet high (Exhibit D). This building
addition will function as additional warehousing floor space for the Frito-Lay facility. The ASRS
warehouse will provide eight levels of stacked storage for Frito-Lay products to improve product
shipping and distribution. The installation of the 14,246 square foot low bay warehouse addition
will be immediately south of and adjacent to the proposed ASRS warehouse. The low bay
warehouse will facilitate the delivery of material from the ASRS warehouse to the dock-high
loading doors. The low bay warehouse is approximately 165 feet (east to west) by
approximately 90 feet (north to south) (Exhibit C) and 45 feet high, consistent with the building
height of the existing warehouse facility (Exhibit D).
The architectural design and construction of the existing facility is primarily concrete tilt-up. The
proposed ASRS warehouse is designed to be constructed of Exterior Insulation and Finishing
System (EIFS) textured panels, painted white and gray, and the low bay warehouse building
addition is proposed as concrete tilt-up construction. The height of the proposed ASRS
warehouse addition prevented the use of concrete tilt-up due to the significant weight of that
building material; instead, the applicant will be utilizing EIFS panels as the exterior building
K,L 2

July 22, 2015
• Page 3
material. EIFS panels are a non-load bearing building material that provide exterior walls with
an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface. In its finished appearance, the concrete tilt-up
and EIFS panel exterior walls will appear identical. Both the ASRS and the low bay warehouse
additions will be painted to match the existing facility (Exhibit D). The ASRS warehouse,
although significantly taller than the adjacent facility, incorporates design features (i.e.,
horizontal color banding) to reduce the overall appearance of the height of the structure.
Additionally, as part of their evaluation of the project site and to determine how the proposed
ASRS warehouse will fit into the surrounding area the applicant prepared several line-of-sight
drawings (Exhibit E). These line-of-sight drawings demonstrate how this project is physically
suited for the project site due to the significant setback off of both Archibald Avenue and Fourth
Street, and how the warehouse will not impact views from the adjacent residential
neighborhood.
The existing visitor and employee parking located south of the office and west of the ASRS
building will remain; additional employee parking is proposed south of their existing parking lot;
existing paring for the facility substantially exceeds parking requirements. A total of 343
automobile parking spaces are required, and 345 automobile parking spaces will be provided.
A total of 54 truck/trailer parking spaces are required at a ratio of one parking space for each
loading dock door; a total of 267 trailer/trailer parking spaces will be provided. This results in a
total of 397 parking spaces required for the project site, and 612 parking spaces are provided.
All tractor and trailer parking spaces are screened by the existing Archibald Avenue and Fourth
• Street 10-foot high screen walls.
Primary truck traffic will continue from their Fourth Street driveway, located near the southeast
corner of the project site. The proposed ASRS facility will add approximately 32,590 square
feet of warehouse floor area to the facility; the stacking capacity of the eight level product
storage area significantly increases the storage of this warehouse over a typical warehouse
building. As part of their analysis of the project site, the applicant submitted a Trip Generation
and Distribution Memorandum to address the increased truck traffic associated with the project.
This memorandum concluded that the facility will 18 AM and 23 PM peak hour truck trips, which
is below the threshold for requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis and is considered insignificant.
Additionally, the applicant submitted a Noise Study addressing both short-term construction
impacts and long-term operational noise impacts. The Noise Study indicates short-term noise
impacts, and these are addressed in the Mitigation Monitoring Plan (Exhibit 1); however, no
long-term operational impacts were identified.
Additionally, the applicant submitted a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of 2 heritage trees,
whose location conflicts with proposed improvements (see discussion below). The permit will
be considered by the Planning Director following the Planning Commission's action on the
project at a later date.
B. Conditional Use Permit DRC2015-01135: Within the City's Industrial Districts, buildings are
limited to a maximum height of 35 feet at the front setback. Buildings exceeding 35 feet in
height shall be set back an additional 1 foot from the front setback for each additional 1 foot of
height up to a maximum setback of 70 feet. Building heights over 75 feet are subject to review
® and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed ASRS building addition is 92 feet high
and is set back approximately 330 feet from Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street.

Facts for Finding: The Development Code (Section 17.16.120(D)) identifies that the Planning
Commission shall approve, or approve with conditions, an application for a Conditional Use
Permit after making certain findings. The following findings are included in the resolution of
approval for the Planning Commission's consideration:
1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all
other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, Municipal Code, General Plan, and any
applicable Specific Plans or City regulations/standards. Development Code Section
17.30.030 (and Table 17.30.030-1) permits Medium Manufacturing in the General
Industrial (GI) District. Development of the project site and the proposed improvements
comply with all applicable standards of the Development Code relating to site development
(setback, parking, landscaping, etc.).
2. The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use
including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and can be conditioned
to meet all related performance criteria and development standards. The existing Frito-
Lay facility occupies a building that was developed in conformance with all Development
Code standards and conditions of approval have been imposed to ensure that the use will
comply with the Performance Standards set forth in Development Code Section 17.66 and
will not create adverse impacts upon adjacent uses or within the community.
3. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in
the vicinity in which the project is located. The design of the project, the applicant's
operational controls and policies, and the conditions of approval will ensure proper control
over the facility. The project's architectural design is consistent with the design of the
existing facility's materials, color, scale, massing, and height and was designed to be
complementary to the existing project and surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the
proposed warehouse expansion is set back 330 feet from Archibald Avenue and 450 feet
from Fourth Street and will be screened by the existing 10 foot high perimeter screen wall
and existing landscaping along both street frontages.
C. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(Fletcher, Oaxaca, and Granger) on May 19, 2015. The Committee approved the project as
presented (Exhibit H).
D. Ontario International Airport—InterAgency Collaborative (ONT-IAC): The Ontario International
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ONT ALUCP) was adopted by the Ontario City Council on
April 19, 2011, with the basic function of promoting compatibility between ONT and the land
uses that surround it. As required by State law, the ALUCP provides guidance to affected local
jurisdictions with regard to airport land use compatibility matters involving ONT. The Airport
Influence Area includes the areas in which current or future airport-related safety, noise,
airspace protection or overflight factors may significantly affect land uses or necessitate
restrictions on those uses. Although the proposed project is located within the Airport Influence
Area of Ontario International Airport (ONT) it was not required to be submitted to the ALUCP
for review because the application was submitted to the City prior to the formation of the ALUCP
review committee. However, the City submitted for, and obtained, FAA approval of a proposed
100 foot high building addition. The FAA approval is very specific and requires the building to
K,L 4
PLANNING COMMISSION

July 22, 2015
• Page 5
be marked/lighted in conformance with FAA advisory circulars, restricts construction equipment
to the same height limit, and expires on February 22, 2016.
E. Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136: The applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit
application requesting to remove 2 heritage trees in order to accommodate the development of
the project site. The Tree Removal Permit will be reviewed administratively following the
Planning Commission's action, as noted above.
There are a total of 9 trees on-site whose location conflicts with proposed improvements. This
includes 7 Fern Pine (Podocarpus gracilior) and 2 Red Iron Bark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon). An
Arborist Report(Steve Andresen Arborist Services, January 12, 2015)was prepared to address
the condition of the 9 trees and determined that 2 (both of the Red Iron Bark trees) qualify as
heritage trees under the Development Code (17.16.080(C)(2)) either because of their height (in
excess of 30 feet), or size (a diameter of 20-inches 4.5 feet from ground level). The remaining
7 trees do not meet these standards and are exempt from Tree Removal Permit requirements.
The Tree Removal Permit for the 2 heritage trees will consider the condition of the trees,
whether they conflict with proposed improvements, the number of trees in the neighborhood,
whether they could be preserved by pruning or relocating, whether they are a significant natural
resource, and whether they are required to be preserved by any Specific Plan, condition of
approval, or designation as a Historic Landmark. Because the location of the 2 trees conflict
• with proposed improvements, are not suitable for relocation, and are not required to be
preserved, a condition of approval is included to require the applicant to obtain approval of a
Tree Removal Permit from the Planning Director.
F. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 related to aesthetics, air quality,
biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards
and waste material, hydrology and water quality, and noise, 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, 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.
The public comment period for the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration
began on Monday, June 22, 2015 and will run through Wednesday, July 22, 2015. As of the
writing of this staff report, no public comments have been received on DRC2014-01139 and
DRC2014-01135.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN REVIEW DRC2014-01139 — FRITO-LAY - A
request to construct a 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot
office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land in the General Industrial (GI)
District, located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street; APN: 021007128.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2014-01135 —
FRITO-LAY - A request to exceed the 75-foot maximum building height for the construction of a
92 foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office,
warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land in the General Industrial(GI) District,
located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street; APN: 021007128. Related
Files: Design Review DRC2014-01139 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136.
Design Parameters: Frito-Lay currently maintains a 430,643 square foot office, manufacturing,
and warehouse facility at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street. This
primarily concrete tilt-up building includes a 33,244 square foot office and 397,399 square feet of
manufacturing and warehousing floor area. The applicant is proposing a 46,836 square foot
warehouse addition on the west side of their existing warehouse building, adjacent to the
employee parking area, and roughly parallel to their Archibald Avenue street frontage.
• The primary feature of the 46,836 square foot warehouse addition is a 32,590 square foot, 92 foot
tall Automatic Storage Retrieval System (ASRS) warehouse. An adjacent 14,246 square foot low
bay (with mezzanine) warehouse addition will provide 11 dock high doors for truck loading. The
architectural design and construction of their existing facility is primarily concrete tilt up. The
proposed ASRS building is designed to be constructed of textured panels, painted white and gray,
and the low bay warehouse building addition is proposed as concrete tilt-up construction to match
the existing facility. The proposed building addition is set back approximately 330 feet from
Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street.
Within the City's Industrial Districts, buildings are limited to a maximum height of 75 feet, and
buildings over 75 feet are subject to review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The
proposed ASRS building addition is 92 feet from finish grade. Due to the proximity of the proposed
building addition to the Ontario International Airport, the City submitted for, and obtained, FAA
approval of the proposed 100-foot high building addition. The FAA approval is very specific,
requires the building to be marked/lighted in conformance with FAA advisory circulars, restricts
construction equipment to the same height limit, and expires on February 22, 2016.
Primary truck traffic will continue from their Fourth Street driveway, located near the southeast
corner of the project site. The existing visitor and employee parking located south of the office
and west of the ASRS building will remain; additional employee parking is proposed south of their
existing parking lot. Parking proposed for the facility substantially exceeds parking requirements.
A total of 295 parking spaces are required, and 345 parking spaces will be provided. A total of
54 truck/trailer parking spaces are required at a ratio of 1 parking space for each loading dock
• door; a total of 43 tractor and 224 trailer parking spaces will be provided on site. All tractor and
trailer parking spaces are screened by the existing Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street 10-foot
high screen walls.
EXHIBIT H
K,L 21
The applicant has provided several perspectives of the proposed building from Fourth Street,
Archibald Avenue, and surrounding properties to demonstrate the appearance of the proposed
building. These perspectives show current images from Google Maps Street View with
comparable renderings of the project.
Staff Comments:
Maior Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project:
1. The project design initially proposed metal siding for the ASRS building addition. The
applicant has addressed staff's concerns regarding the metal siding and has proposed using
textured panels instead. These textured panels are shown in a horizontal and vertical
orientation, which when painted their respective white and gray colors will provide for visual
interest.
2. The low bay warehouse building is designed as a concrete tilt-up, painted gray with white
accents to match the existing warehouse building; and no variation in building material
(concrete, sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick, etc.) are proposed.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. All of the existing perimeter screen walls and perimeter landscaping will remain. Several
trees in close proximity to the proposed warehouse expansion and expanded parking area
will be removed. Additional trees and shrubs will be provided at the expanded parking area.
Additional trees should be planted in proximity to the ASRS and low bay warehouse
expansion building.
2. Additional landscape islands, tree wells, etc, should be provided throughout the existing and
proposed visitor and employee parking based on the following:
a. 1 free should be provided for each 3 parking spaces. At maturity, trees should reach
a minimum height and spread of forty feet (40') so as to form a shade canopy over
parking stalls.
b. A minimum of 10 percent (10%) of the total off-street parking area (excluding the area
for tractor and trailer parking), shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and appropriate
ground cover. The parking area shall be computed by adding the areas use for
access, drive aisles, stalls, maneuvering, and landscaping within that portion of the
premises that is devoted to vehicular parking and circulation.
C. Planters shall be separated from maneuvering and parking areas by a six inch (6"),
raised concrete curb or equivalent.
d. Tree planting wells located at the front of parking stalls shall contain a minimum of
twenty-five (25) square feet and the smallest outside dimension shall not be less than
five feet (5).
e. Landscape planters along the sides of parking stalls shall contain a minimum area of
ninety (90) square feet and the smallest outside dimension shall not be less than six
feet (6').
K,L 22
® Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. No policy issues have been identified.
Staff Recommendation: With the Major and Secondary Issues addressed to the satisfaction of
the Committee, Staff recommends the Committee recommend approval of Design Review

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
C) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which ( ) ( ) (✓) ( )
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the
area?
Comments:
a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within
a view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State
• Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
C) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street,
and is characterized by surrounding industrial development to the north and east, vacant
land to the south, and office uses to the west. The proposed project is the construction of
a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot
office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land. The project site is
currently developed with existing buildings, landscaping, vehicle parking (truck and car),
and all frontage improvements, including undergrounded overhead utility lines. The
primary feature of the 46,836 square foot warehouse addition is a 32,590 square foot, 92-
foot tall Automatic Storage Retrieval System (ASRS) warehouse. An adjacent 14,246
square foot low bay(with mezzanine) warehouse addition will provide 11 dock high doors
for truck loading. The architectural design and construction of their existing facility is
primarily concrete tilt up. The proposed ASRS building is designed to be constructed of
textured panels, painted white and gray, and the low bay warehouse building addition is
proposed as concrete tilt-up construction to match the existing facility. The proposed
design of the ASRS warehouse is consistent with the design of the existing Frito-Lay facility
and the surrounding industrial neighborhood. Although the construction of a 92-foot high
building will be visible from surrounding properties, the building is setback 330 feet from
Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
d) The project will not increase the number of streetlights or parking lot security lighting used
in the immediate vicinity. Existing lighting was designed and installed to confine the area
of illumination within the project site. All building mounted lighting (except FAA required
• lighting) will be required to be shielded to prevent light and glare on adjacent properties.
The 92-foot high building will be marked/lighted in accordance with Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Circular 70-7460-1K Change 2. Obstruction Marking and Lighting,
Red Lights—Chapters 4, 5 (Red), and 12; however, these light sources are typical of FAA

lighting standards and do not create a new source of light or glare which would adversely
affect day or nighttime views in the area. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency, to non-agricultural-use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
Williamson Act contract?.
C) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause re-zoning of, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓ )
forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code
section 12220 (g), timberland (as defined by Public
Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by Government
Code Section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
Comments:.
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance. The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald
Avenue and Fourth Street, and is characterized by surrounding industrial development to
the north and east, vacant land to the south, and office uses to the west. The proposed
project is the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an
existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres
of land. There are approximately 209 acres of Farmland of Local Importance, Prime
Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of
Rancho Cucamonga according to the General Plan and the California Department of
Conservation Farmland Map 2010. Concentrations of Important Farmland are sparsely
located in the southern and eastern parts of the City that is characterized by existing and
planned development. Farmland in the southern portion of the City is characterized by
industrial, residential, and commercial land uses and Farmland in the eastern portion of
the City is within the Etiwanda area and planned for development. Further, a large number
of the designated farmland parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their
economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland
in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan FPEIR identified the conversion of
farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement
of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. In addition, the
proposed project is not located on a site that was designated for or contains farmland so
no impacts to farmland would occur as a result of project implementation.
b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

C) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga zoned as forest lands,
timberland, or timberland production. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the
conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land or
timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the loss or conversion of forest
land to non-forest use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street,
and is characterized by surrounding industrial development to the north and east, vacant
land to the south, and office uses to the west. Furthermore, there are no lands within the
City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land, and therefore, there is no potential
for this project to cause the conversion of forest land to a non-forest use. Therefore, no
adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
• violation?
C) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ( ) (✓ ) ( ) ( )
any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable Federal or State
ambient air quality standard (including releasing
emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
number of people?
Comments:
a) As discussed in subsection b, the project would not exceed any air quality standards and
would not interfere with the region's ability to comply with Federal and State air quality
standards for Criterion 1 Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations (local air
quality impacts) or Criterion 2 Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP (consistency with the
2003 AQMP). Therefore, the project is consistent with the 2003 AQMP and is consistent
with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
b) Both the State of California and the Federal government have established health-based
ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants. These pollutants include
ozone (03), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse
particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), fine particulate matter less
than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and
• particulate matter (PMio and PM2.5) are considered regional pollutants while the others
have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for
sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (1-12S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These

standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a reasonable
margin of safety.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under
the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The
California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage
transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated
when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this
include motor vehicles at an intersection,a mall and on highways. SCAQMD also regulates
stationary sources of pollution within in jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from motor
vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB).
The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine,and emissions from
the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air pollution
problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion
(increasing temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind
speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the
ground.
Pursuant. to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants:
ozone (03), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), fine
particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO),
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead.
Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State
governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to
protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the
EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or "non-attainment" depending on whether the
regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Nonattainment areas have
additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG)as the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) responsible for ensuring the Basin's compliance with.the FCAA. The South Coast
Air Basin is in Non-Attainment Status for Ozone, PM,o and PM2.s.
Specific criteria for determining whether the potential air quality impacts of a project are
significant are set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The criteria include
daily emissions thresholds, compliance with State and national air quality standards, and
consistency with the current AQMP. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an Air Quality Impact
Analysis (February 2015) was prepared by Transolutions, Inc., that utilizes CaIEEMod
(Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term
construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational
emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas
Emissions.
Short Term (Construction) Proiect Impacts
There will be minimal:short term impacts related to the project. The project proposes the
construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing
430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land.
The project site is currently fully developed with the existing building, landscaping, vehicle

Equipment Exhausts and Related Construction Activities
Construction activities produce combustion emissions from various sources such as site
grading, utility engines, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, asphalt paving, and
motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. Exhaust emissions from construction
activities envisioned on site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The
use of construction equipment on site would result in localized exhaust emissions;
however, as shown in the tables above, the amount will not exceed any threshold of
significance.
Fugitive Dust
Fugitive dust emissions are generally emissions associated with land clearing and
exposure of soils to the air and wind, and cut-and-fill grading operations. Dust generated
during construction varies substantially on a project-by project basis, depending on the
level of activity, the specific operation and weather conditions at the time of construction.
Construction emissions can vary greatly depending on the level of activity, the specific
operations taking place, the equipment being operated, local soils, weather conditions and
other factors. The proposed project will be required to comply with SCAQMD Rules 402
and 403 to control fugitive dust.
Architectural Coatings
Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROGs and are part of the 03
precursors. The project proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot
warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and
manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land. Based on the proposed project, it is
estimated that the proposed building will result in a maximum of approximately 0.01 lbs of
ROG per day(combined for all construction sources) during construction. Therefore, this
ROG emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD ROG threshold
of 75 lbs/day.

Odors
Heavy-duty equipment in the project area during construction would emit odors. However,
the construction activity would cease to occur after individual construction is completed.
No other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project, and
no mitigation measures are required. In compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 the proposed
uses are not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. Therefore, objectionable odors
posing a health risk to potential on-site and existing off-site uses would not occur as a result
of the proposed project.
Naturally Occurring Asbestos
The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County, and it is not among the counties
that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition, there has
been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the potential
risk for naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less
than significant.
Cumulative Impacts (Short-Term Construction Emissions)
Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga
• area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases
of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction
worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would
also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would
settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere,
increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry
in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and operate
at one development site until their tasks are complete. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and
equipment emissions are required to be assessed. The General Plan Final Program
Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the
future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G)
estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan(FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide(NO2), Ozone(Os),
and Particulate Matter (PMz.s and PM,a) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be
mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. This city-wide increase in
emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement
of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the
Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR.
With implementation of the following best practices and mitigation measures from the City's
2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize short-term air quality impacts,
cumulative impacts will be less-than-significant:
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition
so as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers'specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the
• construction site for City verification.

2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit
construction plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected
equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low
emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use
was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall
also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District(SCAQMD) as well as City Planning Staff.
3) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel
powered equipment where feasible.
4) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
6) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD
Rule 1108.
7) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted
in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand
or high-volume, low-pressure spray.
8) Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
9) Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
10) Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.
11) Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil
during and after the end of work periods.
12) Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances
and use sound engineering practices.
13) Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is
carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
14) Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e.,wind speeds exceeding
25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements.
15) Maintain a minimum 244nch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
16) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent(approved
by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)) daily to
reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
17) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or
more to reduce PM10 emissions.

Long Term (Operational) Project Emissions and Impacts
Long-term air pollutant emissions are those associated with stationary sources and mobile
sources involving any project-related changes. The proposed project would result in a net
increase in the number of industrial buildings in the project area; therefore, the proposed
project would result in net increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The
stationary source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for on-
site buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. As
shown in the following tables, project implementation will not exceed any significance
thresholds. No long-term, operational impacts will occur as a result of the project.

The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the
impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. In the long-term,
development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant operational vehicle
emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General
Plan FPEIR; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on
a project basis to a level less-than-significant. This city-wide increase in emissions was
identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of
the General Plan FPEIR.
With implementation of the following mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General
Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts,
cumulative impacts will be less-than-significant:
18) Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to
minimize vehicle idling at curbsides.
• 19) Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle
services.

20) Schedule truck.deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours.
21) Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with
automated time clocks or occupant sensors.
22) Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water
consumption and to provide passive solar benefits.
23) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs
to comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure.
24) Comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources PRC-03, and Stationary
Sources Operations Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance and ADV-MISC
to reduce emissions of restaurant operations.
25) All industrial and commercial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks
shall not be left idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes).
26) All industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking
for vanpools.
27) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall
be required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas.
28) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall
be required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink
schedule to the extent reasonably feasible.
29) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high-efficiency/low-polluting heating,air conditioning,appliances,and water
heaters.
30) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
C) As noted in the General Plan FEIR(Section 4.3), continued development would contribute
to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as
a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
ultimately adopted by the City Council. As noted in subsection b above, the project
proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an
existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres
of land. Based on the Air Quality Impact Analysis (February 2015), no short.or long-term,
operational impacts to air quality would occur as a result of the project. Because the project
would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed any thresholds of significance, the
project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. With
implementation of mitigation measures listed in subsection b above from the City's 2010
General Plan FPEIR, which are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality
impacts, cumulative impacts will be less-than-significant.

d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic
facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant
impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within '/ mile
of a sensitive receptor. Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park, located at 800 North Archibald
Avenue in Ontario is located approximately 1,200 feet south of the project site.
During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading
the site. During operation, the majority of air quality impacts will be generated by mobile
sources, however, these operational impacts are below the threshold of significance. The
mitigation measures listed under subsection b above and the following mitigation measure
will reduce any potential impact to less-than-significant levels.
31) All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply with
South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445, Wood Burning
Devices. Rule 445 was adopted in March 2008 to reduce 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.
• e) Construction odors (Short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use
including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and
would dissipate rapidly. Operational odors (Long-term) are typically associated with the
type of use. Odors from the proposed industrial use would most likely be from activities
such as cooking; however, these odors would be minimal and not considered to be
significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street,
and is surround by industrial development to the north and east, vacant land to the south,
and office uses to the west. The proposed project is the construction of a 92-foot high,
46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office,
warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land. According to the General
Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within
an area of sensitive biological resources. In addition,the project site is currently developed
with the existing building, landscaping, vehicle parking (truck and car), and all frontage
improvements, including undergrounded overhead utility lines. Only asphalt paving will be
removed to accommodate the proposed warehouse project, and the only vegetation to be
removed are existing trees planted on-site. As such, an Arborist Report(Steve Andresen
Arborist Services, January 1.2, 2015) was prepared to address the removal of trees.
However, because the existing trees and shrubs have nesting bird potential, a nesting bird
survey should be prepared prior to any ground disturbance activities and vegetation
clearing activities be scheduled outside of the avian nesting season (February 15 through
August 15). Compliance with the following standard regulatory measure will ensure that
the presence of any nesting birds will be evaluated prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
If construction activities are planned during the avian nesting season, a pre-construction
nesting bird survey should be conducted within 30 days prior to commencement to avoid
impact to birds protected under the Fish and Game Code and Migratory Bird Act.
1) Prior to issuance of a Grading Permit, a nesting bird survey that is in
conformance with the Migratory Bird Act shall be required to determine
whether nesting is occurring. Occupied nests shall not be disturbed unless
a qualified biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either(a)the
adult birds have not begun egg-laying or incubation;or(b)the juveniles from
the occupied nests are foraging independently and are capable of
independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one of the above
conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300 feet of non-raptor
nests, and within 5,000 feet of raptor nests, during the breeding season to
avoid abandonment of the young.
b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat
exists on-site, meaning the project will not have any impacts. Therefore, no adverse
impacts are anticipated.

c) No wetland habitat is present on-site. As a result, project implementation would have no
impact on these types of resources. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large,contiguous natural
open space areas. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south trending
tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere-of-Influence; however,
the project site does not contain any corridors. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
e) There are nine (9) trees located on the project site proposed for removal, two (2) of which
are heritage trees as defined in Section 17.16.080(C) of the Rancho Cucamonga
Development Code. The heritage trees include two (2) Eucalyptus Red Iron Bark
(Eucalyptus sideroxylon) trees. The non-heritage trees include seven (7) Fern Pine
(Podocarpus gracilior) trees that do not meet the minimum height and diameter
requirements of the Development Code. The Arborist Report (Steve Andresen Arborist
Services, January 12, 2015), identifies that although the two (2) heritage trees are of
average condition for the species, their location conflicts with the proposed improvements,
and are not suitable for preservation. The landscape plan demonstrates the two (2)
heritage trees removed as part of this project will be replaced with Brisbane Box(Tristania
conferta)with a minimum of three(3)24-inch box size trees and six(6) 15-gallon size trees.
Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
• f) The project site is not located within a local conservation area according to the General
Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Figure RC-1. No conflicts with habitat
conservation plans will occur. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
resource or site or unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of
Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). Therefore, no
adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site, General
Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6); however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been
inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6).
Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction,could adversely
• affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final
Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural
Resources based on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as
identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented:

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 South Central Coastal Information Center
at Cal State Fullerton for permanent archiving.
C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on
an alluvial fan. According to the research performed at the Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County and the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or
resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the Sphere-of-
Influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for
paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during
the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene
epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern
man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by
Quaternary alluvium per the Public Safety Element of the General Plan; therefore, the
following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
2) 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.,
South Central Coastal Information Center at Cal State Fullerton).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to the South Central
Coastal Information Center at Cal State Fullerton for permanent
archiving.
d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The
project site has already been disrupted by construction of existing project site
improvements and the construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments. No
known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to
• suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The California Health and Safety
Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further
disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and
disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence to State
regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event
human remains are discovered on-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the
Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the
General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Red Hill Fault,
passes within 2.25 miles north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately
5.8 miles north of the site. These faults are both capable of producing MW 6.0-7.0 earthquakes.
Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to MW 7.5 earthquakes is about 16 miles
northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to MW 8.2 earthquakes, is about
18 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking.
Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard Conditions will ensure that geologic
impacts are less-than-significant. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within a designated Soil Erosion Control Area Exhibit
4.7-4 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Rancho Cucamonga area.is subject to strong Santa
Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust,
and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the
impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control; however,
development of this project would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as
pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following
fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-
significant levels:
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved
by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance
with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as
soon as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established
by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil
off-site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph
to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes.
4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or
more to reduce PM,o emissions.

c) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.7) indicates that there is a potential for the hillside
areas at the northern end of the City and in the SOI for slope failure, landslides, and/or
erosion. Areas subject to slope instability contain slopes of 30 percent or greater.
Landslides may be induced by seismic activity, rain, or construction. The City Hillside
Development Regulations prohibit development on slopes of 30 percent or greater and limit
the number of units that could be constructed within the Hillside Residential and Very Low
Density Residential designations in the Hillside areas. The site is not within a geotechnical
hazardous area or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FEIR
Figure 4.7-2. Soil types on-site consist of Hanford Coarse Sandy Loam (HaC) soil
association according to General Plan FEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. Therefore, no adverse impacts
are anticipated.
d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil
deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on-site
consist of Hanford Coarse Sandy Loam (HaC) soil association according to General Plan
FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. These soils are typically found at the western section of the City and
consist of light brownish-gray course sandy loam on the surface about 10 inches thick;
typically used for irrigated crops (i.e., citrus). With adherence to standard building
techniques in accordance with the building code, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for
• wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. No
adverse impacts are anticipated.
7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) (✓) ( ) ( )
indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the
environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or ( ) ( ) (✓) ( )
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gasses?
Comments:
a) Regulations and Significance—The Federal government began studying the phenomenon
of global warming as early as 1979 with the National Climate Protection Act(92 Stat. 601).
In June of 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger established California's Green House Gas
(GHG) emissions reduction target in Executive Order(EO) S-3-05. The EO created goals
to reduce GHG emissions for the State of California to 2000 levels by 2010;GHG emissions
reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; and GHG emissions reduced to 80 percent below 1990
levels by 2050. Additionally, on December 7, 2009 the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency(USEPA) issued findings regarding GHGs under rule 202(a) of the Clean Air Act:
(1)that GHGs endanger human health; and (2) that this will be the first steps to regulating
GHGs through the Federal Clean Air Act. The USEPA defines six key GHGs (carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons(PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride(SF6)). The combined emissions of these
well-mixed greenhouse gasses from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to GHG
• pollution.
The western states, including Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and
Washington, already experience hotter, drier climates. California is a substantial

contributor of GHGs and is expected to see an increase of three to four degrees Fahrenheit
(OF) over the next century.
Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead
agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in
1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of CO2
equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main
strategies for meeting the 2020 deadline. Significant progress can be made toward the
2020 goal through existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. Other
solutions would include improving the State's infrastructure, and transitioning to cleaner
and more efficient sources of energy.
The ARB estimates that 38 percent of the State's GHG emissions in 2004 was from
transportation sources followed by electricity generation (both in-State and out-of-State) at
28 percent and industrial at 20 percent. Residential and commercial activities account for
9 percent, agricultural uses at 6 percent, high global warming potential gasses at 3 percent,
and recycling and waste at 1 percent.
It is not anticipated that any single development project would have a substantial effect on
global climate change but that GHG emissions from the project would combine with
emissions across California, the United States, and the world to cumulatively contribute to
global climate change. Therefore, consistent with the ARB's Climate Change Scoping
Plan, the proposed project was evaluated for consistency with the Early Action Measures
(Scoping Plan is a recommendation until adopted through normal rulemaking). The
proposed project is assessed by determining its consistency with the 37 Recommended
Actions identified by ARB. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 97 and CEQA, the project
has been analyzed based on a qualitative analysis(CEQA 15064.4). Additionally, the ARB
was directed through SB 375 to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be
achieved within the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035.
SCAQMD and ARB maintain ambient air quality monitoring stations in the Basin. The
stations closest to the project site are the Upland station and the Fontana-Arrow Highway
station. The Upland station monitors all criteria pollutant except PM,o, PM2.5, and SO2
which are monitored at the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the
project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal
standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM,o,
and PM2.5 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly.
Project Related Sources of GHG's — Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of
California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered .
to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any ambient air quality
standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental
plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of Planning
and Research (OPR) guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA Guidelines
prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing an impact
analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead Agency.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has not adopted a threshold of significance for GHG
emissions. However, a screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year is based upon
South Coast Air Quality Management District staff's proposed GHG screening threshold

Project related GHG's would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based on
the Air Quality Impact Analysis (February 2015), which includes a Greenhouse Gas
analysis, total project related emissions would be approximately 405.00 MTCO2eq/year, as

Direct and indirect operational emissions associated with the project as compared to the
SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance of 3,000 MTCO2e per year would result in a
less than significant impact with respect to GHG emissions.
Cumulative Short Term(Construction) GHG Emissions—The General Plan FPEIR(Section
4.5)indicates that GHG emissions result from construction activities associated with diesel-
powered construction equipment and other combustion sources (i.e. Generators, workers
vehicles, material delivery, etc.). The GHG emitted by construction equipment is primarily
carbon dioxide (CO2). The highest levels of construction related GHG's occur during site
preparation including demolition, grading and excavation. Construction related GHG's are
also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction workers traveling to the job site.
Exhaust emissions from construction activities would vary each day with the changes in
construction activity on site. The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates GHG's such as
CO2, Cha, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment.
Based on the Air Quality Impact Analysis (February 2015), which includes a Greenhouse
Gas analysis, no short-term, construction impacts would occur as a result of the project as
shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do
not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to

cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would have less
than a significant short-term cumulative impact with implementation of the following
enforceable actions, which are included as mitigation measures in accordance with
Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR:
1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air
pollutant emission in compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 regarding fugitive
dust including treating the site with water or other soil-stabilizing agent twice
daily or replanting disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
2) The construction contractor shall select construction equipment based on
low-emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on
the grading plan that ensures all construction equipment will be tuned and
maintained in accordance with the manufactures' specification.
3) Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes.
4) Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or
diesel-powered engines where feasible.
5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak-hour traffic.
6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for
the construction crew.
Cumulative Long Term (Operational) GHG's Emissions — The primary source of GHG
emissions generated by the proposed project would be from motor vehicles, combustion
of natural gas for space and water heating, as well as off-site GHG emissions from
generation of electricity consumed by the proposed land use development over a long term.
CEQA requires the Lead Agency to review the project for"adequacy, completeness, and
a good faith effort at full disclosure," to determine potential impacts of GHG's. Therefore
the project has been analyzed based on methodologies and information available to the
City at the time this document was prepared. Estimates are based on past performance
and represent a scenario that is a worst case with the understanding that technology
changes may reduce GHG emissions in the future. To date, there is no established
quantified GHG emission threshold.
The proposed project is the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse
addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility
on 37.05 acres of land. The majority of energy consumption typically occurs during project
operation (more than 80 percent and less than 20 percent during construction activities).
The proposed project will incorporate several design features that are consistent with the
California Office of the Attorney General's recommended measures to reduce GHG
emission including: water efficient Landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide
accessibility to public sidewalks.
The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate
Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the

development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) with SANBAG for the San
Bernardino County area pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 375.
Based on the Air Quality Impact Analysis (February 2015), which includes a Greenhouse
Gas analysis, no long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project as
shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do
not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to
cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would have less
than -a significant long-term operational impact with implementation of the following
enforceable actions, which are included as mitigation measures in accordance with
Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR:
7) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured
locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource
efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way
including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) materials.
8) Design all buildings to exceed California Building Code Title 24 energy
standard including but not limited to any combination of:
• Increased insulation.
• 0 Limit air leakage through the structure.
• Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and
cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances.
• Landscape and develop site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and
landscaping.
• Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems.
• Install light colored "cool" roofs and cool pavements.
• Install solar or light emitting diodes (LED's)for outdoor lighting.
9) Prepare a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the
project and include the following:
• Install water efficient landscapes and irrigation systems and devices
in compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance.
• Use reclaimed water for landscaping within the project if available
and/or install the infrastructure to deliver and use reclaimed water.
• Design building to be water efficient by installing water efficient
• fixtures and appliances including low flow faucets, dual flush toilets
and waterless urinals/water heaters.

b) The project proposes is the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse
addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility
on 37.05 acres of land. No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the
purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update
included adopted policies and Standard Conditions that respond to the Attorney General
and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association(CAPCOA). The General Plan
policies and Standard Conditions guide infill and sustainable development reliant on
pedestrian connections, re-use and rehabilitation of existing structures, link transportation
opportunities, promote development that is sensitive to natural resources and incentivizes
denser mixed use projects that maximizes diverse opportunities. The proposed project
includes water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility
to public sidewalks and therefore is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The
General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts
of GHG's and determined that GHG emissions would be cumulatively considerable, which
would be a significant unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A Statement of Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. Based on the Air Quality
Impact Analysis (February 2015), which includes a Greenhouse Gas analysis, no
significant short-term construction impacts or long-term, operational impacts would occur
as a result of the project. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do
not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to
short-teem construction and long-term operational cumulative impacts is also considered
minimal. With implementation of the mitigation measures listed in subsection a, less than
significant impacts would occur as a result of the project. In addition, the proposed project
would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly (AB) 32, and
therefore, would be less than a significant impact.

Comments:
a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This
is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and
maintenance activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through
construction activities that would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease,
and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The project site is
located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street, and is characterized
by surrounding industrial development to the north and east, vacant land to the south, and
office uses to the west. The proposed project is the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836
square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and
manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land designed for the warehousing of finished food
products and is not anticipated to transport, use, or dispose of hazardous materials. The
City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service
Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than any other in the State. The
City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and
is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance
with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of
hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level
less-than-significant. Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated.

approximately 1,200 feet south of the project site. The project proposes the construction
of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square
foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land and because it is
located within '/ mile of a sensitive receptor, the project will be required to comply with
existing State and Federal standards on the use and transport of hazardous materials. The
proposed project and use is not anticipated to emit hazardous materials or create
objectionable odors. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site.
Recent site inspections did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping
of hazardous materials. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The project site is approximately 1.49 nautical miles (NM), abeam the parallel runways, of
the Ontario International Airport (ONT) airport reference point and is located within the
airport influence area of the Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan(ONT
ALUCP). According to the ONT ALUCP, the project site is not within a noise impact zone
but is within an overflight notification zone and airspace protection zone. Although the ONT
ALUCP has been adopted, the project was submitted prior to the implementation date of
the plan and is exempt from the formal review process. However, it is also within the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)Height Notification Area where structures taller than
200 feet in height require FAA notification. Due to the proposed building height of 92 feet,
the City submitted for, and obtained an FAA"Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation"
on August 22, 2014, for the proposed project. The FAA approval requires the building to
be marked/lighted in conformance with FAA advisory circulars, restricts construction
equipment to the same height limit, and expires on February 22, 2016. Therefore, with
implementation of the following measure, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
1) The applicant shall comply with the FAA's "Determination of No Hazard to
Air Navigation" (2014-AWP-874-OE, 2014-AWP-1354-OE, and 2014-AWP-
1364-OE)for the project site, which includes the following:
The structure must be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA
Advisory circular 70/7460-1 K Change 2, Obstruction Marking and
Lighting, red lights -Chapters 4, 5(Red), and 12.
FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, must
be a-filed any time the project is abandoned or within 5 days after the
construction reaches its greatest height(7460-2, Part 2).
This determination expires on February 22, 2016 unless: 1) the
construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form
7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, is received by
this office; 2) extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office;
and 3) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the
Federal Communications commission(FCC)and an application for a
construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC,within 6
months of the date of this determination. In such case, the
determination expires on the date prescribed by the FCC for
completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the
application.

g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and
evacuation routes to existing development. The proposed development will be located on
a site that has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which
is updated every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the
City of Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. The project includes at least two
points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes,
including local fire ordinances. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind-driven fires in the Very
High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the
proposed project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone according

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD).
The project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The State of
California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The
General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial
activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES permit. The State Water
Resource Control Board (SWRCB), through the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB), Santa Ana Region, administers these permits.
Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a
discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General
Permit. The General Permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during
construction activities, including site clearance and grading:
Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that
would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction
pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products
of erosion from moving off-site into receiving waters.
• Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.
Perform inspections of all BMPs.
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges.
A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an
NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To
comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare
an SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)
for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has
submitted a WQMP, prepared by Valued Engineering, Inc., (December 2014), which
identifies BMPs to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the
drainage system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads and other impermeable
surfaces must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both
structural and non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm
water pollutant levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement.
Non-structural controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through
implementing erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must
be developed by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices such
as periodic parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering
the storm drain system. The following mitigation measures are required to control
additional storm water effluent:

2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to
control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities
are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall
include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of
grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods
experienced in Southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance
program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur
either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through
a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.
3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes
must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when
• there is rainfall or other runoff.
4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed
prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order
to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site.

within an area designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General
Plan Figure RC-3. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but
would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 300 to 470 feet below the
ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR(Section 4.9),continued development
citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact. CVWD has plans to

C) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street,
and is characterized by surrounding industrial development to the north and east, vacant
land to the south, and office uses to the west. The proposed project is the construction of
a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot
office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land and development of
the site will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount
of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on
the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will
be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the
flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent
erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by-the Building Official and City
Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the project will not result in
substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and

runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to
handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official
and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from
the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.

excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
• would the project expose people residing or working in
the project area to excessive noise levels?
Comments:
a) The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Figure PS-9 at build-out. Short-term noise impacts associated with the
construction of the proposed project could be from the excavation and grading of the
project site, and from cranes and other construction equipment. Construction related,
short-term noise levels would be higher than existing ambient noise levels currently within
the project area, however, these noise levels would no longer occur once construction of
the project was completed. A Noise Impact Analysis (LSA, November 2014)was prepared
for the project site, which concluded that with the following mitigation measures the noise
impacts on the project will be less than significant.
Exterior:
1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction-related noise
mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The
Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the
noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction.
2) During all project site excavation and grading, the project contractors shall
equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating
and maintained mufflers consistent with the manufacturers'standards.
3) The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so
® that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the
project site.

4) The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will
create the greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and
noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project
construction.
5) The construction contractor shall obtain the City's approval for its haul plan,
with the planned haul truck routes avoiding residential areas to the extent
feasible.
6) The construction contractor shall change the timing and/or sequence of the
noisiest construction operations to avoid sensitive times of the day.
b) The normal operating uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce
ground borne vibrations. Construction related vibration may create short term noise and
vibration impacts. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
C) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. The project
proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an
existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres
of land. Short-term noise impacts associated with the construction of the proposed project
could be from the excavation and grading of the project site, and from cranes and other
construction equipment. Construction related, short-term noise levels would be higher than
existing ambient noise levels currently within the project area, however, these noise levels
would no longer occur once construction of the project was completed. Because the
project will not significantly increase traffic as analyzed in Section 16 Trans portation/Traffic;
it will likely not increase ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project. Therefore,
no adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The General Plan FPEIR(Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will
generate noise exceeding City standards. Short-term noise impacts associated with the
construction of the proposed project could be from the excavation and grading of the
project site, and from cranes and other construction equipment. Construction related,
short-term noise levels would be higher than existing ambient noise levels currently within
the project area, however, these noise levels would no longer occur once construction of
the project was completed. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term
noise impacts:
7) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m.
and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or
a national holiday.
8) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards
specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at the
property line. Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level
monitoring as specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050. Monitoring
at other times may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall
report their findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however,if noise
levels exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately
notify the Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then

construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance
with above noise standards or halted.
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport
of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be
required:
9) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed
100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the
developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction
traffic haul routes and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To
the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass
sensitive land uses or residential dwellings.
e) The project site is approximately 1.49 nautical miles (NM), abeam the parallel runways, of
the Ontario International Airport (ONT) airport reference point and is located within the
airport influence area of the Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan(ONT
ALUCP). According to the ONT ALUCP, the project site is not within a noise impact zone
® of the airport. Therefore, no adverse impacts related to airport or overflight noise are
anticipated.
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles to the west
of the City's westerly limits. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either ( ) ( ) (✓ j ( )
directly (for example, by proposing new homes and
businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, ( ) ( j ( j (✓)
necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
C) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Comments:
a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the construction
of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square
foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05 acres of land. Since the project
is a warehouse expansion project for an existing office, warehouse, and manufacturing
facility and surrounded by developed infrastructure, adequate schools and the utility
capacities to serve the project, the project is not anticipated to generate a significant
increase in population. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility
on 37.05 acres of land and no displacement of people. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
14. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial
adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new
or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order
to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
b) Police protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
C) Schools? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
d) Parks? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
e) Other public facilities? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
Comments:
a) The site, located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street, would be
served by Fire Station #174 at 11297 Jersey Boulevard, located approximately 3.0 miles
from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or
alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could
cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the
Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project to lessen the future demand
and impacts to fire services. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The increase in warehouse floor area is not anticipated to lead to an increase in calls for
service. Although there may be an .increase in calls, additional police protection is not
required as the addition of the project will not change the pattern of uses within the
surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in property to be patrolled as the
project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
c) The Cucamonga School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the
project area. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development.
A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the school impact fees.
With this standard mitigation, impacts to school districts are not considered significant.
Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest City Park, Golden Oak Park at 9345 Golden Oak Road, is located approximately
'/z miles from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new
facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service,
which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard condition of approval

e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services.
According to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.14), there will be a projected increase in
demand for library space that would be met through implementation of the goals and
policies identified in the Public Facilities and Infrastructure Chapter of the General Plan.
Additionally, the Paul A. Biane Library has an additional 14,000 square foot shell of vacant
library space that is planned for future library use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
15. RECREATION. Would the project:
a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
parks or other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
® b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
the construction or expansion of recreational facilities,
which might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?
Comments:
a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest City Park (Golden Oak Park) is located approximately t/z mile from the project site.
The project proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse
addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility
on 37.05 acres of land which is not anticipated to increase the use of parks and other
recreational facilities within the City. A standard condition of approval will require the
developer to pay Park Development Fees. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The project does not include the development of new or the expansion of existing
recreational facilities. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities,
or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of
such facilities.
Comments:
a) The project proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse
addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility
on 37.05 acres of land. The Trip Generation and Distribution Memorandum (Parsons
Brinckerhoff, February 19, 2014) estimates that the proposed expansion will generate a
maximum of 23 equivalent passenger car (PCE) trips including employee trips and truck
trips in the PM peak hour. As such, the project will not create a substantial increase in the
number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections and will not negatively
impact the level of service on surrounding roadways as the PCE does not meet the
SANBAG threshold of 50 peak hour trips and is therefore not considered significant. The
project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements and does not require
the extension of any arterials. In addition, the City has established a Transportation
Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits.
Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic
circulation within the City. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Measure I extension which
requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair share
toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005,the City of Rancho
Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these

development impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion
Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact
Analysis reporting requirement. This project will be required, as a condition of approval, to
pay the adopted transportation development fee prior to issuance of building permit. As
described in subsection a)above, the project is in an area that is mostly developed with all
street improvements existing along the Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street project street
frontage. The project will not create a substantial increase in traffic and will not negatively
impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials. Therefore, no adverse impacts
are anticipated.
C) Located approximately 1.4 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
d) The project is in an area that is mostly developed. Existing street improvements (curb,
gutter, and sidewalk) exist along the Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street project street
frontage. The project design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections
or farming uses. The project will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards
because of a design feature. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles during
construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an inadequate
emergency access. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
f) The project will be conditioned to provide features supporting transportation and vehicle
trip reduction (e.g., bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc.). Therefore, no impacts
are anticipated.
17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)

g) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
regulations related to solid waste?
Comments:
a) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 and RP-4 treatment plants. The RP-1
capacity is sufficient to exceed the additional development within the western and southern
areas of the City. The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of 28 mgd
which is considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in wastewater
generation for buildout of the General Plan. The proposed project will result in a minimal
increase in demand, which is not considered significant. The project is required to meet
the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding
wastewater. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. The
proposed project will result in a minimal increase in demand, which is not considered
significant. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional
Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
C) All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to
handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must.be approved by the Building Official
and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
d) The project is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water
supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this project. Therefore, no
adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho
Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity.
Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
f) Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes
the refuse at a permitted landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City's solid waste
disposal needs. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
g) This project complies with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations regarding solid
waste. The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction
procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

either directly or.indirectly?
• Comments:
a) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street
and proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to
an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05
acres of land. The Arborist Report (Steve Andresen Arborist Services, January 12, 2015)
did not include a biological assessment; however, because the project site contains trees
and shrubs that exhibit nesting bird potential a nesting bird survey should be prepared prior
to any ground disturbance activities. A biological assessment was not required as the
project site is developed and surrounded by urbanized land uses, existing asphalt paving
will be removed to accommodate the proposed warehouse project, and the only vegetation
to be removed are existing trees planted on-site. Mitigation measures have been added in
the Biological Resources section of the study requiring the submission of a nesting bird
survey to the Planning Department prior to the issuance of a rough grading permit. No
cultural resources are known to exist on the site; however, in the unlikely event that
archaeological and paleontological resources are discovered during construction,
mitigation measures are included to ensure proper handling and protection.
b) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street
and proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to
an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05
acres of land. With implementation of best practices that have been incorporated into the
project and mitigation measures that are designed to minimize short-term and long-term
air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, project and cumulative impacts will be less-
than-significant. The 2010 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a
Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for
• significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence.
The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse
effects to Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change and

Mineral Resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources;
however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City
adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development
against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and
15096(h)).
C) The project site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street
and proposes the construction of a 92-foot high, 46,836 square foot warehouse addition to
an existing 430,643 square foot office, warehouse, and manufacturing facility on 37.05
acres of land. Development of the site under would not cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study finds that all categories of
potential impacts, including those that have the potential to directly or indirectly affect
humans such as air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise, will be mitigated to a
less than significant level in all categories.

MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: DRC2014-01139
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the
mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project.
This program has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation
measures are implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components—This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action
and the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of
approval are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
• progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management—The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of
the conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures —The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Design Review DRC2014-01139 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-01135.
Public Review Period Closes: July 22, 2015
Project Name: Project Applicant: Frito-Lay
Project Location (also see attached map): Located within the General Industrial (GI) District, at
the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street at 9535 Archibald Avenue -
APN: 0210-071-28.
Project Description: The proposed project is the construction of a 92-foot high,46,836 square foot
warehouse addition to an existing 430,643 square foot office,warehouse, and manufacturing facility
on 37.05 acres of land. The application also includes a request for a Conditional Use Permit to
exceed the 75-foot maximum building height and a Tree Removal Permit to remove 9 existing trees
whose location conflicts with proposed improvements
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency,has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
(909) 477-2847.
NOTICE
The public is invited to comment on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
review period.

e. The related Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-01135 proposes to exceed the 75-
foot maximum building height for properties in the City's Industrial Districts; and
f. The project was designed to be architecturally compatible with the design of the
existing Frito-Lay facility, which is primarily of concrete tilt up design and construction. The
architectural design of the proposed ASRS building is designed to be constructed of textured
panels, painted white and gray, and to match the existing buildings on-site; and
g. The applicant submitted Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136,which proposes
the removal of 9 trees whose location conflicts with proposed improvements, including 7 Fern
Pine and 2 Red Iron Bark trees. Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136 will be reviewed by the
Planning Director following the Planning Commission action for Design Review DRC2014-01139
and Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-01135; and
h. The proposed project meets or exceeds all Development Code standards. As
conditioned, the proposed warehouse expansion will meet all applicable Development Code
standards for industrial development.
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
proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Zoning Code, Municipal Code, General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans
or City regulations/standards. Development Code Section 17.30.030 (and Table 17.30.030-1)
permits Medium Manufacturing in the General Industrial (GI) District. Development of the project
site and the proposed improvements comply with all applicable standards of the Development
Code relating to site development (setback, parking, landscaping, etc.); and
b. 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 site is physically suited for the type,
density, and intensity of the proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical
constraints and can be conditioned to meet all related performance criteria and development
standards. The existing Frito-Lay facility occupies a.building that was developed in conformance
with all Development Code standards and conditions of approval have been imposed to ensure
that the use will comply with the Performance Standards set forth in Development Code Section
17.66 and will not create adverse impacts upon adjacent uses or within the community; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, except for exceeding the maximum building height of 75 feet. Granting the
permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or
materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity in which the project is
located. The design of the project, the applicant's operational controls and policies, and the
conditions of approval will ensure proper control over the facility. The project's architectural
design is consistent with the design of the existing facility's materials, color, scale, massing, and
height and was designed to be complementary to the existing project and surrounding
neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed warehouse expansion is set back 330 feet from
Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street and will be screened by the existing 10 foot
high perimeter screen wall and existing landscaping along both street frontages; and

• d. Thero osed use together
p pwith 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.
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
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; and
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; and
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; and
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 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 Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference.

components. The picking tunnel is consider and aisle and not a corridor (we are not aware of any
corridors proposed), the stairways compliance are not addressed on your report; based on our
knowledge of this facilities rack system stairs usually do not comply with the CBC specifications for

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. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed
use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Zoning Code, Municipal Code, General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans
or City regulations/standards. Development Code Section 17.30.030 (and Table 17.30.030-1)
permits Medium Manufacturing in the General Industrial (GI) District. Development of the project
site and the proposed improvements comply with all applicable standards of the Development
Code relating to site development (setback, parking, landscaping, etc.).
b. 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 site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of
the proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and can be
conditioned to meet all related performance criteria and development standards. The existing
Frito-Lay facility occupies a building that was developed in conformance with all Development
Code standards and conditions of approval have been imposed to ensure that the use will comply
with the Performance Standards set forth in Development Code Section 17.66 and will not create
adverse impacts upon adjacent uses or within the community.
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in
the vicinity in which the project is located. The design of the project, the applicant's operational
controls and policies, and the conditions of approval will ensure proper control over the facility.
The project's architectural design is consistent with the design of the existing facility's materials,
color, scale, massing, and height and was designed to be complementary to the existing project
and surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed warehouse expansion is set back 330
feet from Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street and will be screened by the existing
10 foot high perimeter screen wall and existing landscaping along both street frontages.
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 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; and
K,L 124
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-52

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; and
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; and
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
below and in the Conditions of approval for Design Review DRC2014-01139 and incorporated

portion of the analysis is inconclusive and shall be corrected, also see item 'c' above. Some of the
issues are: section 706.5.3 neither does an exception exist in the 2013 edition of the CBC; In the
1991 code a type VN is not equivalent to a IIIN building type in the 2013 CBC; section 706.6 as
quoted is not applicable since the rated wall is on the lower building. Section 706.8 requires the

CBC based on the construction of the buildings and make the conclusions based on building
construction verification. The exhibit does not provide a separation between the new proposed
A.S.R.S. warehouse and the existing warehouse building to the north. Please make the report
consistent with any exhibit.
h. Correct section 8, there is no separation required based on fire separation distance requirements,
you have already made the case that the entire facility is now going to be considered a single
building for allowable area and the separation is only required for construction types; combine this
section with section 7 and correct the construction types incorrectly stated as 2-B and 3-B it should

components. The picking tunnel is consider and aisle and not a corridor (we are not aware of any
corridors proposed), the stairways compliance are not addressed on your report; based on our
knowledge of this facilities rack system stairs usually do not comply with the CBC specifications for

SUBJECT: ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT DRC2014-01040 — TILTED KILT — A request to provide
entertainment at an existing pub and eatery located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard
in the Community Commercial (CC) Development District at 12770 Foothill Boulevard;
APN 109060111. Planning Department staff has determined that the project is exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's
CEQA Guidelines as a Class 1 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301) exemption which
covers existing facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Entertainment
Permit DRC2014-01040 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:

store and to the south, south of Foothill Boulevard, is the Foothill Crossings shopping center
(Food 4 Less, Living Spaces, WalMart).
D. Parking Calculations: The parking requirements for this center were analyzed during the original
entitlement process. All restaurant uses were parked at the standard of one space per 100
square feet of gross leasable area. The addition of entertainment to the existing use does not
increase the area of the restaurant or require additional parking be provided.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: Tilted Kilt is a Celtic themed pub restaurant that has been in operation since
December, 2014. They serve lunch and dinner as well as beer, wine and distilled spirits, under
approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-00600. According to the applicant, the
restaurant's primary entertainment is derived from broadcasting live sports events on televisions
installed throughout the restaurant, which does not require an entertainment permit. The
purpose of obtaining an entertainment permit is to have live entertainment as a "fill in" option
during times when there are few or no televised sports events available. The applicant proposes
to provide entertainment consisting of karaoke, DJ, live bands and amplified comedy
performances (i.e. open mic night). The location of the proposed entertainment is shown on
Exhibit B. Dancing is not included as part of this permit and is expressly prohibited within the
conditions of approval.
B. Hours of Operation/Activity:The applicant originally proposed entertainment seven days a week
from 7:00 p.m. until closing, which is 2:00 a.m. After discussions between the applicant and
staff they agreed to end entertainment one hour prior to closing (1:00 a.m.). Their existing
Conditional Use Permit for full liquor service requires alcohol sales to stop at 1:30 a.m. and
ending entertainment at 1:00 a.m. providing a gradual wind down of services prior to closing.
C. Security Procedures: The applicant has submitted a security plan which will include 2 security
guards during entertainment events with ID scanners for age verification. They also have
conducted Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs (LEAD) training.offered by the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to staff to prevent over serving or under-age
serving of alcohol. A copy of the security plan is attached as Exhibit C.
D. Public Safety: Staff contacted the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department for comment on the
proposed entertainment permit. They have reviewed the application and have no objections to
adding entertainment to the existing restaurant use.
E. Land Use Compatibility: The use is consistent with the site's development district. The
restaurant is within a commercial complex along a major commercial corridor. During the
processing of this application, staff has received two complaints from a resident regarding
exterior noise at Tilted Kilt. Working with the applicant, they were able to determine that the
exterior public address system was turned on in the patio area amplifying the internal noise
outside, which they quickly addressed. Since then, we have received no further complaints.
Staff has included in the conditions of approval a requirement that all entertainment be
conducted indoors and shall not be externally amplified for patrons on the patio. If operation of
this Entertainment Permit causes adverse effects upon adjacent residences, businesses, or

operations including but not limited to noise, loitering, parking or disturbances, the
Entertainment Permit can be brought before the Planning Commission for consideration and
possible modification, suspension or revocation of the permit.
F. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies under as a Class 1 exemption under
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 — Existing Facilities — which covers the permitting of
existing structures that involve negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time
of the lead agency's original determination. The project consists of allowing for live
entertainment that does not require an expansion or significant change to the existing pad
building. Staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper on July 9, 2015, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property
owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site.

t "NO DANCING" signs will be posted throughout restaurant, in the event customers start dancing staff would
politely ask to refrain from that activity. If the client persist they would be asked to leave the restaurant.There
will not be any removal of tables to create dance area, we will remove tables to set up band.
Over serving of alcohol:
All off our bartenders have ABC LEAD training.We have both floor managers and servers in constant

them up or Taxi cab service if need be, as a convenience we offer overnight parking(no tow). If someone
becomes unruly a manager always gets involved, along with security would escort the person outside if need be.
We take a proactive approach to this we have surveillance cameras and a Point of purchase system that

CUCAMONGA
To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Candyce Burnett, Planning Director
By: Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner
Subject: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
DRC2015-00610 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A supplement to Development
Code Update (DRC2010-00571) amending Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code to modify landscaping standards and to clarify definitions,
administrative procedures and correct prior errors and omissions as well as a proposed
addendum to the General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR).
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and Staff recommend the City Council take the
following actions:
1. Adopt an addendum to the General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report for
Development Code Amendment DRC2015-00610; and
2. Approve Development Code Amendment DRC2015-00610.
• BACKGROUND: On July 18, 2012, the City Council, on the recommendation of the Planning
Commission, adopted the City's updated Development Code. The updated Development Code
became effective on September 4, 2012. At the City Council hearing, staff proposed to present Code
updates on a regular basis to deal with issues that were discovered after the Code became effective.
Since September 2012, staff has presented several Code amendments to address errors and update
regulations.
The changes proposed in this amendment would: (1) correct technical errors and (4) revise
regulations for residential landscaping.
In January and April 2014 the Governor issued a series of proclamations declaring a drought State
of Emergency. Due to continuing drought conditions, the Governor issued Executive Order B-29-15
on April 1, 2015, which required a mandatory 25% statewide reduction in urban water use through
February 2016; required commercial, industrial, and institutional users to implement water efficiency
measures; prohibited irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf in public street medians; and
placed additional restrictions on irrigation systems outside newly constructed homes and buildings.
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) published a regulatory framework on April 7th
and issued draft regulations on April 17, 2015 to meet the requirements of the Governor's April 1,
2015 Executive Order. The SWRCB adopted the emergency regulation on May 6, 2015. The final
regulation requires Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) to reduce urban water use from June
2015 through February 2016 by 32% compared to the same months in 2013.
On May 12, 2015, the CVWD Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2015-5-3 which declared a
Stage 6 Severe Water Emergency. This resolution prohibits landscape watering within 48 hours of a
rain event and limits landscape watering to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for odd numbered
addresses and Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for even numbered addresses. In addition, a Stage
Item N-1
r r
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE DRC2015-00610 -CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
JULY 22, 2014
Page 2
6 shortage prohibits the irrigation of turf with potable water on public street medians consistent with
the Governor's proclamation.
On May 29, 2015, the California Building Standards Commission approved emergency building
standards, effective June 1, 2015,to address exterior landscape irrigation systems applicable to new
development to reduce outdoor water use through more efficient landscape and irrigation design.
These standards impact the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance,which created a landscape"water
budget" for specific development. At its core, these standards revise the calculations in the water
budget to reduce the amount of water that.can be used for landscaping.
At the direction of the City Manager, a team of staff has been studying and evaluating measures
necessary to address new regulations and mandates from the Governor and other State agencies
to conserve water. Public Works is analyzing all facilities and parks owned and controlled by the
City to identify potential water saving improvements to reduce the City's water consumption.
Planning is reviewing existing regulations to ensure property owners can make water saving changes
to their outdoor landscaping. Staff has developed the proposed revisions to the Code that would
apply to residential properties that will continue to require some landscaping but allow for water
conserving designs (Exhibit A). These changes were presented to the City Council at a special study
session on June 17, 2015. At that time, the Council directed staff to draft an amendment to the
Development Code based on the suggested changes. Staff will use the proposed residential
landscaping standards as a guideline to implement similar standards for commercial and industrial
properties in a future code update.
Since Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-29-15, staff has received numerous calls from
residential, commercial and industrial property owners inquiring about modifying their existing
landscape to reduce water consumption. According to the Metropolitan Water District, up to 70% of
residential water use is used for landscaping. The Development Code regulates landscape within
publicly visible areas such as the front yard and corner side yard and has standards for the minimum
amount of landscaping required within these areas. These standards are intended to create open
space in developed areas, promote groundwater recharge, create shade areas for passive cooling
of structures and maintain a pleasing aesthetic within the City. While these standards have
continued importance, the traditional use of turf and other high water use trees and shrubs to meet
these standards needs to be reconsidered. It is also important to develop standards that will be
compatible with landscaping needs in the high fire hazard area.
In addition to the changes proposed for residential landscaping, staff also amending the code to
address technical errors that have been discovered. All of the proposed changes to the Development
Code are outlined in the next section.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES: Staff recommends the changes to the Development Code
summarized below. Attachment 1 of the Resolution prepared for the Commission's consideration
includes the actual text changes to the Development Code. Typographic errors are not included in
the summary of proposed changes, but are included in the body of Attachment 1.

Article II Land Use and Development Procedures
1. Site Development Review. Amend Section 17.16.100 to revise the applicability threshold for
projects modifying commercial, industrial or institutional landscapes from 5,000 square feet to
2,500 square feet, consistent with new State regulations.
2. Specific Plan. Amend Section 17.22.030 to change the responsibility of determining the extent
of the submitted grading plan from the Grading Committee (which no longer exists) to the
Planning Director. This is a clarifying amendment to the text.
Article III Zoninq Districts, Allowed Uses, and Development Standards
3. Allowed Uses. Amend allowed use regulations in Table 17.30.030-1 to prohibit Fuel Storage

land use table, the field is blank. This is a technical edit.
Article IV Site Development Provisions
4. Landscaping. Replace Chapter 17.56 in its entirety to revise and clarify residential landscaping
standards. While the entire chapter was not rewritten, it was reorganized. The changes
• proposed relate only to residential landscaping standards.
5. Temporary Signs. Amend Section 17.74.090 A to allow temporary signs to be displayed for
ninety (90) days per calendar year, instead of nine (9) days. This is a technical error.
Article V Specific Use Requirements
6. Temporary Uses. Amend Section 17.104.040 K to require all temporary living quarters on
construction sites meet requirements and regulations San Bernardino County department of
environmental health services instead of Riverside County. This is a technical error.
In addition, any spelling, grammatical, and formatting errors that have been discovered since the
publishing of the Development Code will be corrected.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQK)
and the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to the General Plan Program Environmental
Impact Report (SCH #2000061027) has been prepared. This Development Code Amendment does
not propose any substantial changes in the City's development regulations that were not analyzed
in the General Plan EIR or that will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects, or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects. As a consequence, an addendum is the appropriate level of environmental
review. The addendum is provided and shown as Attachment 2 of the Resolution prepared for the
Commission's consideration.
NOTICE: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, this item was advertised 13 days in
advance as a public hearing (1/8 page ad) in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper. Because
this is a citywide amendment, no individual notice to property owners was provided.

Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
• ADDENDUM
This Addendum to the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Environmental Impact Report
(SCH#2000061027)(the"EIR")has been prepared in connection with the City's supplemental amendment
to the Development Code (the "Project"). The Addendum confirms that the environmental impacts
stemming from the Project were adequately addressed in the EIR and that a subsequent EIR or Negative
Declaration is not required for the Project.
Proposed Supplemental Development Code Amendments
The Project consists of supplemental amendments to the City's recently adopted comprehensive
Development Code,which was in turn adopted to implement the policies of the recently completed 2010
General Plan Update. Since adoption of the Development Code Update in July 2012, City staff has
identified several errors and omissions in the Development Code that were unintended. Staff has
identified residential landscaping requirements where the text requires further clarification to prevent
conflict with Executive Order B-29-15 from Governor Brown requiring a 25% reduction in urban water
consumption. The purpose of the Project is to correct these errors and omissions and clarify text where
necessary. It is therefore considered to be largely procedural in nature. The Project will not affect the
current methods of conducting environmental review for new development applications. Table A-1
summarizes the changes proposed in the project and the reason for including into the Development Code.

Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
The City made findings regarding the environmental impacts of adopting the General Plan as well as
overriding considerations for significant and unavoidable impacts, both individually and cumulatively,for
the following issues: Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change, and Mineral
Resources.
The findings made by the City necessary to certify the EIR and adopt the General Plan also included a
mitigation monitoring and reporting program. For impacts to Land Use and Planning,the City determined
that changes or alterations have been incorporated into the General Plan that avoid or substantially lessen
the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR resulting in a less than significant impact. More
specifically the City's findings stated there would be no conflict between the General Plan and the
Development Code because updates to the Development Code, as well as adherence to standard
conditions related to consistency of future development with the proposed 2010 General Plan Update
and the City's Development Code, will reduce the potential impacts related to plan consistency to a less
than significant level.
CEQA Review Requirements
The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") generally requires agencies to analyze the possible
environmental impacts of a project prior to approval. Depending on the nature and extent of the potential
impacts, the agency may be required to adopt a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report
(EIR).
Under Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified or a Negative Declaration
adopted for a project, no subsequent EI.R shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous
EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects;or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted,shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
Negative Declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in
the previous EIR;

Item N-36
Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
• The proposed project does not change either the policies or the figures shown in both the EIR and the
General Plan. The project does not change any densities, intensities, land uses, or designations beyond
those analyzed in the EIR. As a result, there is no change in the project and no new significant
environmental effects, or increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects is anticipated
as a result of the proposed project.
Second, there have been no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the
Project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
The EIR, which addressed the impacts of adopting the City's General Plan and revisions to the
Development Code, was adopted on May 10, 2010. The existing conditions reported in the EIR are very
similar to those currently in existence. Since adoption of the General Plan in 2010, the City has not
processed any amendments to the plan. As a result,there are no substantial changes to the environment
which would require a modification of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
Third,there is no new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified that shows(a)the Project
will have any significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (b)the significant effects examined in the EIR will
be substantially more severe than previously shown; (c) mitigation measures or alternatives previously
found to be infeasible would now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects of the project; or (d) considerably different mitigation measures or alternatives than those
analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment are
• now available.
As the Project is consistent with the General Plan there are no new effects that were not discussed in the
EIR. Similarly, the Project will not result in changes to the impacts identified in the EIR that could be
considered substantially more severe. The Project does not alter any of the review processes in place for
new projects, nor does it exempt new uses in the zoning ordinance from review. The Project addresses
areas of responsibility for development review and affirms the appropriate body to make
recommendations clarifies appeal procedures and establishes project review timelines. None of these
changes will result in physical changes to the environment inconsistent with the General Plan as analyzed
in the EIR. No additional mitigation measures are necessary.
Summary
In summary,the General Plan EIR sufficiently analyzed the potential impacts associated with the proposed
Development Code Update. The City has a thorough development review process that is fully
documented in the General Plan EIR, and that will remain in place following the proposed project.

Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
ADDENDUM
This Addendum to the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Environmental Impact Report
(SCH#2000061027)(the"EIR")has been prepared in connection with the City's supplemental amendment
to the Development Code (the "Project"). The Addendum confirms that the environmental impacts
stemming from the Project were adequately addressed in the EIR and that a subsequent EIR or Negative
Declaration is not required for the Project.
Proposed Supplemental Development Code Amendments
The Project consists of supplemental amendments to the City's recently adopted comprehensive
Development Code, which was in turn adopted to implement the policies of the recently completed 2010
General Plan Update. Since adoption of the Development Code Update in July 2012, City staff has
identified several errors and omissions in the Development Code that were unintended. Staff has
identified residential landscaping requirements where the text requires further clarification to prevent
conflict with Executive Order B-29-15 from Governor Brown requiring a 25% reduction in urban water
consumption. The purpose of the Project is to correct these errors and omissions and clarify text where
necessary. It is therefore considered to be largely procedural in nature. The Project will not affect the
current methods of conducting environmental review for new development applications. Table A-1
summarizes the changes proposed in the project and the reason for including into the Development Code.

The 2010 General Plan Update and Environmental Impact Report
On May 19, 2010, the City Council adopted the 2010 General Plan Update and certified the EIR. The
updated plan serves as the foundation for many of the City's regulatory documents, including the
Development Code, specific plans, community plans, master plans, and design guidelines. With the 2010
General Plan Update, the City's focus shifted to infill development (development of remaining vacant
properties within developed business districts and residential neighborhoods).
The EIR evaluated potential for the 2010 General Plan Update to result in environmental impacts, as
summarized in the following table:
No Mitigation Mitigation Measures Significant and Unavoidable
Agricultural Resources Cultural Resources Aesthetics
Biological Resources Hazards and Hazardous Agricultural Resources
Geology and Soils Materials Air Quality
Population, Housing and Hydrology and Water Quality Climate Change
Employment Land Use and Planning Mineral Resources
Public Services Noise
Parks and Recreation

Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
The City made findings regarding the environmental impacts of adopting the General Plan as well as
overriding considerations for significant and unavoidable impacts, both individually and cumulatively, for
the following issues: Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change, and Mineral
Resources.
The findings made by the City necessary to certify the EIR and adopt the General Plan also included a
mitigation monitoring and reporting program. For impacts to Land Use and Planning,the City determined
that changes or alterations have been incorporated into the General Plan that avoid or substantially lessen
the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR resulting in a less than significant impact. More
specifically the City's findings stated there would be no conflict between the General Plan and the
Development Code because updates to the Development Code, as well as adherence to standard
conditions related to consistency of future development with the proposed 2010 General Plan Update
and the City's Development Code, will reduce the potential impacts related to plan consistency to a less
than significant level.
CEQA Review Requirements
The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") generally requires agencies to analyze the possible
environmental impacts of a project prior to approval. Depending on the nature and extent of the potential
impacts, the agency may be required to adopt a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report
(EIR).
Under Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified or a Negative Declaration
adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the
following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous
EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
Negative Declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in
the previous EIR;
Page 3 of 5
Addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga 2010 General Plan Update
Environmental Impact Report
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible,and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project,but
the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed
in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative.
If the none of these conditions calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration are
met, but minor technical changes or additions are necessary to a previously adopted environmental
document are needed, Section 16164 of the CEQA Guidelines allow the lead agency to prepare an
addendum to the prior environmental document.
A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant should be included in the
addendum, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must
be supported by substantial evidence.
The addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR
or adopted Negative Declaration, and must be considered by the decision-making body prior to making a
decision on the project.
Analysis
This addendum to the EIR has been prepared for the Project because none of the conditions specified in
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines requiring the preparation of a subsequent EIR or Negative
Declaration are met.
First, the Project does not propose substantial changes in the City's development regulations that were
not analyzed in the EIR or that will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects.
The Project simply implements the goals and policies adopted in the City's General Plan and analyzed in
the General Plan EIR. The General Plan specifically mentions revising and updating the Development
Code, as shown in the following table.
The Development Code shall be updated to reflect the density and LU-2.1, LU-2.2, LU-3.3, LU- i
intensity ranges (especially along Foothill Boulevard) as specified in 3.8, LU-4.2, LU-4.3, LU-4.5,
the General Plan including updating the development standards to be LU-5.1, LU-9.5, ED-2.1, ED-
consistent with the General Plan provisions. (Table LU-2 of Chapter 2) 2.4 ED-4.4
j The Development Code shall be updated to develop guidelines or LU-2.4, LU-9.1, LU-9.2, LU-
standards that will guide infill development and make it compatible 9.4, ED-1.4, ED-4.1
with the surrounding neighborhood communities.
