e. The applicant, RC Store Maintenance, is proposing to construct a 25,399 square-
foot industrial warehousing building on the project site.The building consists of 15,430 square feet
of warehousing space and 9,969 square feet of office space.Two access points will be provided to
the property, at the northwest and southwest corner of the project site along Vineyard Avenue. A
single driveway will connect both egress points to provide circulation through the site and access to
the parking lot and two loading docks; and
f. Parking, truck storage and walkway areas line the side of the driveway and wrap
around the north, east and south sides of the building. A total of 47 parking spaces are provided to
meet the minimum parking requirements. The project also includes two truck-well areas near the
loading docks for large truck/trailer parking; and
g. Overall, the project site complies with the applicable Development Standards for
the General Industrial (GI) District. The proposed warehouse building maintains a 35 foot setback
from Vineyard Avenue, 51 foot and 58 foot interior side yard setback, and an 83 foot rear yard
setback. The maximum height of the proposed warehouse facility is 37 feet. Highest point of the
facility is located two (2) feet behind the front setback line. The building conforms with the height
limit of the General Industrial (GI) District,which permits a maximum height of 37 feet when located
37 feet back from the setback line; and
h. The proposed industrial building meets the City's 360-degree design standards.
Architectural articulation and material breaks are used throughout the facade to break up the
building's massing.The front elevation of the building,facing the Vineyard Avenue,consists of large
expanses of glass windows and doorways.The use of metal accents and metal canopies along the
glass facade also distinguishes the glass elements from the concrete walls. The result is an
industrial building with extensive architectural articulation and material breaks that closely mimics
the look of an office building. Glass and metal accents are used extensively throughout the other
elevations of the building, creating visual interest and reducing the amount of blank walls. The
building also incorporates painted and sandblasted concrete,which helps break up the uniform look
of tilt-up concrete walls; and
i. The project also complies with the City's landscape standards. Site landscape
coverage exceeds the minimum requirement of 10%and includes an overall depth of 35 feet along
Vineyard Avenue. The landscaping palette includes a variety of trees, shrubs, and ground cover to
help screen mechanical equipment and enhance the appearance of the building. The project will
also incorporate a 537 square foot employee break area as required by the Development Code for
new industrial buildings.
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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan.The site
is located within land designated as General Industrial.The General Industrial designation permits a
wide range of industrial activities that include warehousing and office uses.The project consists of a
25,399 square foot industrial building, including 9,969 square foot dedicated to office space,on 1.87
acre of land. The warehouse building is designed for wholesale warehousing with ancillary office
uses.All site improvements, including parking and landscaped areas,are designed to be consistent
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 20-01
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00430— RC Store Maintenance
January 22, 2020
Page 3
with the warehousing use and are consistent with the General Industrial land use as designated in
the General Plan.
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 Development Code designates the
project site as a General Industrial(GI) District. The potential industrial and warehousing land uses
that would be associated with this project are consistent with the General Industrial(GI)District.The
project site is adjacent to other sites in the General Industrial (GI) District, including an industrial
warehouse building of similar size and scale to the north, west and east of the project site. The
project site has a Floor Area Ratio(FAR)of 0.50 and within the 0.50 to 0.60 FAR range permitted in
the General Industrial (GI) District.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code. The facility is designed for industrial warehouse operations with ancillary
office space to support the main warehousing use. The facility meets all setbacks, floor area and
height requirements. The facility has also been designed to meet the City's architectural standards.
The facility will also comply with all parking, access and landscaping requirements. Therefore, the
project meets all applicable provisions of the Development Code.
d. The proposed project,together with the conditions applicable thereto,will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The surrounding neighborhood consists of warehousing facilities and
vacant lots zoned for industrial facilities in the General Industrial (GI) District. The proposed project
is a 25,399 square foot industrial warehouse building similar in size and scale to the other
warehousing facilities nearby. The construction and operations of the facility are expected to meet
all Development Code standards regarding noise and odor.The project is therefore not expected to
generate public health, safety or welfare impacts or be detrimental to improvements in the vicinity.
4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission has determined that the project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines.
The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332—In-Fill
Development Projects, as the project is a proposed development occurring within city limits on a
project site less than five acres in size and substantially surrounded by urban uses.The project is a
25,399 square foot warehouse building located on 1.87 acres of land within the General Industrial
(GI) District. The warehouse use is consistent with the intent of the General Industrial (GI)
designation in the General Plan and project meets all applicable development standards and zoning
regulations of the Development Code. The warehouse building is similar in scale and is consistent
with industrial buildings in the nearby vicinity. The site can be adequately served all required utilities
and police and fire services.
To demonstrate that the project qualified for the exemption, specific environmental studies were
prepared to assess any potential impacts that the project might have on the environment.As a result
of these studies, staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment. The studies prepared analyzed the following topics:
• Phase 1 CEQA Survey (The Planning Associates Group, Inc., August 2018) — The
Survey determined that the project site's habitat consisted of non-native plant species.
The Survey also determined that there were no riparian or wetland habitats that would
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 20-01
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00430— RC Store Maintenance
January 22, 2020
Page 4
support sensitive,threatened or endangered species. Lastly,the Survey concluded that
vegetation on the project site does not provide suitable nesting sites for common or
special avian species, such as raptors.
• Air Quality Impact Analysis(Urban Crossroads, September 2018)and Greenhouse Gas
Analysis (Urban Crossroads, September 2018) — Both analyses determined that the
project would not exceed the applicable Southern California Air Quality Management
District's threshold for air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, respectively, during
construction or operational activity.
• Noise Impact Analysis(Urban Crossroads, September 2018)—The Analysis concluded
that the project's noise contribution to adjacent roadways would be less than significant
and that the on-site construction and operation noises levels will be less than the City's
80 dBA maximum noise level standards for industrial use and less than 65 dBA at
nearby residential homes in the City of Ontario.
• Conceptual Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) (Sake Engineers, Inc., October
2018) --The WQMP was submitted and reviewed by the City's grading engineer. The
City's grading engineer approved the conceptual design and will review the final design
when grading plans are submitted.
• Traffic - The City's traffic engineer also reviewed the proposed development and
concluded that there are no apparent traffic safety or operational concerns with
implementation of the project. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip
Generation Manual,the project is only expected to generate 35 passenger car equivalent
(PCE)daily trips, including 3 PCE trips during the AM peak hour and 4 PCE trips during
the PM peak hour. The City's traffic engineer determined that the PCE trip levels did not
require additional traffic studies to be submitted.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth Paragraphs 1,2,3 and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the applications subject to each and every condition in the
attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
