4:00 p.m.
The Special Study Session meeting of the Historic Presentation Commission and Planning Commission
was held on May 12, 2021. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 4:00 p.m.
A. Roll Call

B. Public Communications
Chairman Guglielmo opened for public communications.
Stephanie Clark, Attorney Nossaman LLP, representing SCE regarding the city's General Plan Update.
Objecting to the Southeast Industrial Quadrant Roadway Network Assessment (SEIQ Assessment).
Stating the City's SEIQ Assessment is improper, unsupported, makes no legal or practical sense and will
ultimately expose the City to litigation as it pertains to proposing roads through the SEC Property that
cannot be built. Requesting the City reconsider the locations of those proposed streets.
Chairman Guglielmo hearing no other comments closed communications.
C. General Business
C1. Discussion of Public Draft General Plan Update
Matt Burris, Deputy City Manager, presented the Planning Commissioners a PowerPoint on the Public Draft
General Plan Update. (Copy of file)
Before starting, Mr. Burris clarified to the Attorney with SCE, Ms. Clark, stating this is not pertaining to the
General Plan Amendment the City was considering several months back to add a series of local and collective
streets to our street network. It is a separate process and it's being handled through a different path in terms
of Industrial Moratorium. He said that General Plan Amendment has been abandoned as an effort by the
City.
After Matt Burris's presentation, Chairman Guglielmo asked the Commission if there were any comments.
Nick Ghirelli, City Attorney, stated there are roads identified in the General Plan that you just saw, those
roads will be environmentally reviewed pursuant to an EIR under CEQA. There is not going to be an
addendum to an EIR. It will not require SCE to remove electrical infostructure. He said this is the vision for
the city and a high-level planning document that all future land usage decision will be based on going forward.
Commissioner Morales mentioned one of the things he saw is the activity by Staff involving the public. They
were professional and that is how they came up with the all-inclusive General Plan. Good economic sense
behind it. He said you see a lot of cities here in California that did not plan and struggled with their budget.
That puts us in a position of strength going forward. It will help us build on our successes that we already
have in place to become the economics of the central hub of the Inland Empire. He is very proud of it and
looks forward to the implementation of the strategy next.
Commissioner Oaxaca stated it was great to see in detail all the work staff has been doing along with their
consulting partners to really sit back and look at the City of Rancho Cucamonga with a new perspective. He
said it is timely that we are going through the General Plan Update process at this time with the status of the
city. It is an important opportunity for our city, if you look for the silver lining, to see how we can incorporate
into our decision making some of these new realities and expectations that our community has.
Commissioner Oaxaca said he noticed probably maybe two, three key things that he can tell staff has looked
at that has really somehow redefined the vision for the city. This is really the plan to intentionally take the city
in a new direction, planning for the future. He asked if staff could give him some two or three new things the
team has taken into account that has really become part of the foundation for this Draft General Plan Update.
Matt Burris answered he would say that in a lot of ways the General Plan, that we have coming out. is a
reflection over a lot of ideas, a refinement in a lot of ways the city has been working on for a very longtime.
For example, the current General Plan includes mixed-use. The Arte for example, it's not the first mixed-use
building, we have many in the city and have been built over a course in the last couple of decades.
Matt Burris said one of the things we have found in putting that General Plan into practice is our current
General Plan often times lacks specificity, helping to explain the idea, as an example, how we take the idea
of having a mixed-use Wilshire Blvd. type district on Haven. Or we have a mixed-use Colorado Blvd. type of
environment on Foothill. Or how Victoria Gardens becomes a downtown. We have had those ideas in place
for a very long time. One of the things that this General Plan does that is really new is it helps convey and
map out how we get from that big idea to the physical place we are trying to create.
With that said, one of the news things that brings us a lot of clarification and expectation and the how of
getting there. Having a town center above the 210 was something identified in the 1982 General Plan. The
southeast industrial area and evolving that into a modern industrial district is certainly a new idea. That was
going to remain an area of heavy industry far into the future.
He said this General Plan puts a greater emphasis on creating a downtown type place on Victoria Gardens
and the epic center area and connecting down through the area of the Rancho Cucamonga station. That
future transit hub provides tons of opportunity and having Rancho be the gateway that connects Southern
California to Las Vegas is a big deal. One that none of us ever anticipated as an opportunity. Another idea
you will see in the General Plan in terms of new is a greater emphasis on reflecting that our street and roads
do not make sense to have one size fits all. We are reflecting this General Plan how State Law with regard
to complete streets has changed, and evolved but we are also saying there are lots of different ways of
getting around and in order to have a really good robust transportation network, we are going to identify some
HPC/PC Study Session Meeting MINUTES— May 12, 2021

FINAL
streets prioritize some types of mode and identify other streets prioritizing other types of mode. A very new
concept here.
Anne Mcintosh shared the theme of requiring "connectivity" between projects. Trying to find ways for people
to get from one project to your neighboring community without having to walk around the block to find a path.
Finding new ways to connect people, make things more pedestrian, and keep projects from becoming
disconnected islands unto themselves. That is one of the bigger concepts we injected in here.
Commissioner Williams mentioned Mr. Burris General Plan presentation was very easy to understand. She
spent a lot of years listening to lots of General Plans ideas in the past and to see now taking this by listening
to the community, she knows was difficult, but it paid off. What you have you know now this is what they
want. These things have been casually mentioned before we really should figure out how to turn Victoria
Gardens into downtown. Let's look and see what we designed for this area. We already have done all the
hard work. Now whatever pieces of the puzzle come through, if they fit fine, if not put them somewhere else
where they do fit.
Commissioner Williams expressed her excitement by some of the things she heard. So many pieces, we put
together a whole lot of things, now we are going to start to fill in the puzzle. She said it's wonderful to have
the security of knowing you are taking the citizens views. We all kind of thought people wanted activity
centers but when the people come out and said, "we want activity centers", that justifies we are putting the
extra effort into making sure it happens where it should. The epic center, the transit center, we have so much
opportunity in this city to make things happen. She looks forward to reading a good book, your General Plan.
The presentation was excellent.
Matt Burris expressed that when she does sit down to read it like a good book, she enjoys it. One of the
things we are excited about with this General Plan, which is going to be a big ship, is that we are recognizing
it is not all going to be the same. We are really trying to put an emphasis recognizing for example, we have
very different neighborhoods here in the city. We have some that are really lovely rural areas, suburban track
and some growing up to be new urban areas. We have such a great diversity and we are really trying to put
emphasis in this General Plan.
Matt Burris mentioned recognizing we have different places here in the city and we are not going to try to
make them all the same. There is so much value in having different places. We are trying to be clearer in
saying that there is a place for everything.
Commissioners Williams stated in 20+ years it will come to fruition and be well worth the effort. She feels
good about it. She said now we will have a "Bible" to go to and say the word of Rancho Cucamonga is this...
you are off to a great start.
Commissioner Dopp stated his initial take away on all this is what a visionary document it is. A lot of things
maybe have been discussed city wide but never been implemented. He knows that right away one of the
big takeaways with areas in the city having different characters. He said it's obvious that there is an element
in our city, no matter who doesn't want to see the city change, believe it or not to some extent the General
Plan recognizes that reality.
Commissioner Dopp said you look at the initial land use designations trying the best to reflect as much as
possible the rural nature of the northern part of the city. Or when people look at numbers and at a map and
see a radical change, you realize some of that change is really necessary in some places. It's out of step
with the character of the neighborhood. That is one of the things he really appreciated about the General
Plan, it tries as much as possible to give it all the changes we see legally and economically in the 21$1 Century
to recognize the Country is obviously going to be in a different place, in the State and City as well. He said

you hit it with recognition of creating value from an economic sense for the city and he sees it's really
deliberate in this plan across the board. It's a great step forward. Trying to recognize as well through the
plan. We don't know all the details of course yet this is an overview discussion. Recognizing that there is at
least an attempt to make sure when we do build, we build deliberately and with purpose.
Commissioner Dopp mentioned there is a real reason behind it not just economically but as you mentioned
connectivity. There is a real desire to see Rancho develop as a real focal hub as a region. There is really a
tremendous amount of work to be done. To start things off, it does a great job hitting on major things we
have talked about in the last year. He said there is always a fear when we look at change and when people
are looking at different parts of town, sometimes there is a gut reaction to go back and we don't want to see
these things change, but in some of these parts of town they need the change for the better. We look at the
southwest part of town. We look at the industrial part of town where that is a lot of negative environmental
impact that have occurred over time. There is a clear recognition to try and rectify that to create a better city
for everybody and that is what he appreciates.
Matt Burris appreciated what was said and went over Focus Area 5: Cucamonga Town Center slide.
Recognizing we can help deliver what the community has asked for.
Chairman Guglielmo expressed the staff report was great and the focus on the value per acre really illustrated
the potential we have here in Rancho Cucamonga. He said having so many resources and so much going
for us to take to the next level over the next 10-20 years is an opportunity we cannot let slip past. This plan
really addresses a lot of that. It's extremely visionary in the sense even the road work connectivity is really
good.

Sean McPherson, Senior Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and presentation (copy
on file). During his presentation, he announced exciting news that the applicant agreed to design the
building to Lead Silver Standards. He explained "Lead Silver Standards" shows a dedication and a
commitment to environmentally and sustainable development. He said this would be the first Lead Silver
Certified 7/11 in the State of California, which has been included in the Conditions of Approval. Note:
Change to the following Condition of Approvals: #3, #8, #20, 21 (refer to the revised COA for detailed
information).
Chairman Guglielmo asked the Commission if there were any comments for staff on this project.
Commissioner Dopp asked regarding concentration service stations, is it a good planning principal to
put so many gas stations in a specific part of town.
Anne McIntosh commented that the moratorium had an exception for projects that receive a building
permit within 6 months of the date that it was adopted. She said there was a recognition that some
projects might go forward if they are able to meet the deadline.
Commissioner Dopp asked about types of services and buildings are in an area.
Nicholas Ghirelli, City Attorney, mentioned there are cases that have said there is a legitimate planning
purpose and exercise of the City's police power to limit the number of similar types of uses next to each
other if the City is concerned that the number of uses will start to compete against each other in such a
way the competition will cause closures and that eventually causes blight in the community. It's that blight
position caused by too much competition that could potentially be a legitimate planning concern to weigh
in on as a Planning Commission.
Commissioner Dopp mentioned in the scope of our expectation and drive to create equity in southwest
Cucamonga, his concern and considerations about a key parcel of land on a key street looking forward
in terms of the General Plan is whether we believe this is the best use for this land from a land use
perspective.
Sean McPherson responded that staff's recommendation is based on the application in front of them
today. He said in terms of broader conversation regarding gas stations and types of uses should be
allowed on major corridors, most visible parcels, that broader question is why staff is working towards
further analyzing service stations. For example, why there is currently a moratorium to address those
broader holistic questions. The applicant has heard the concerns and responded to the Commissions
questions and concerns to the point where staff feels we recommend approval of this project.
Anne McIntosh stated when we had our overview of the General Plan Update, we talked specifically this
being in the middle of a focus area for Cucamonga town center. She said you probably are recalling
some of the comments we made about the importance of this neighborhood and desire to have smaller
businesses that serve the neighborhood. Creating that walkability connections and opportunities creating
employment. She said it's valid to take that into consideration. As this being a key corner for the future
of Cucamonga Town Center. It's a valid discussion to have.
Matt Burris mentioned whether or not there should be any concerns about over concentration of service
station is a legitimate one.
Commissioner Dopp asked about conditions and food. He said his understanding is there really is no
hard requirement that 7/11 maintain the fresh food options. He asked is this something that Planning
entertained or we can, in the back end, in a condition by adding a Healthy RC requirement.
HPC/PC Regular Meeting MINUTES— May 12, 2021

FINAL
Nicholas Ghirelli stated he thought the applicant already agreed to do that. Yes, we can condition that.
Commissioner Morales asked if there will be bright lights over the gas pumps.
Sean McPherson answered no. In conversation with the applicant, the tri-color band surrounding the gas
station canopy will not be illuminated.
Commissioner Williams stated she is fine with it.
With no further discussion from Commissioners, Chairman Guglielmo announced even though this is
not a public hearing, he opened for public comments.
Grant Ross, Orbis Real Estate Partners, Applicant, is available to answer questions.
Commissioner Dopp asked what unique options 7/11 will be offering in the type of food they are putting
in their store. As well as on a percentage basis.
Michelle Moore, 7/11 representative, explained their fresh food will consist of fresh fruit, pre-made
sandwiches, protein packs, hummus, as well as ready to go items such as fresh eggs, milk, all standard
dairy products. She said it will be a larger grocery set with plenty of product selection. Do not know
percentage.
With no comments from the Public, Chairman Guglielmo looked to the Commissioners for deliberation,
comments.
Commissioner Williams stated the company has shown dedication to make it successful with their
decision to eliminate beer and wine. She is in support.
Commissioner Morales stated this project proposed at this site does not rise to our expectation and goals
for our city in that part of the southwest section. He heard resident's concerns being so close to the
schools and homes across the street. Appreciate that they made the change outside with the canopy for
the gas pumps, but the bright lights underneath will have an impact on the neighborhood. He said there
will be a lot of traffic around the school. He said this would probably work best in another part of our city
but for this site will not make the findings for approval and should deny the entitlements.
Vice Chair Oaxaca expressed the applicant has gone the extra mile in terms of responding to the
concerns by staff, Commission, and residents in the area. He said this project is an opportunity to
introduce what could be a new model for this type of project. One that is a lot more responsive, new and
modern. He said it could bring a new version of this convenience store model to a community that could
be a positive addition and should not suffer in comparison with other older approaches to the gas
station/convenience store combination. He said looking at this project, this is one we struct a good
balance between the needs of the community and expectations for this part of the city. One that could
be new and modern in a good way.
Commissioner Dopp asked a question regarding Healthy RC initiative and how does the process work.
Sean McPherson replied the Healthy RC initiative was incorporated into the current General Plan where
staff had analyzed this project up against. In terms of our consideration as to whether or not this would
be seen as a benefit to the community.

John Gillison, City Manager, explained Healthy RC process involves doing an audit of the products being
sold. Healthy RC usually works with registered or certified dieticians and it's about moving away from
the pre-packaged and some fast food and moving towards healthier choices. He said it's an interactive
process and at the end of that, it's trying to make sure they have healthy choices and qualifies as a
healthy option.
Commissioner Dopp mentioned he does not know how it would look like in terms of a condition.
John Gillison explained you could require that they work with Healthy RC and meet the standards applied
to other restaurants and/or small grocery stores to ensure that they have sufficient fresh and healthy
options available to customers. He said that would be the closer we could come at this point and time.
Typically, the process is done with an existing store and they were looking to change out what they were
selling.
Matt Burris asked if Dopp can elaborate on what his concern and question is in regard to the condition.
Commissioner Dopp responded his concern is the whole project. He said what if this model does not
work from a Healthy perspective. He is looking for a condition that holds them to it.
Nicholas Ghirelli asked Dopp if he is looking for a condition that is going to address the type of products
sold at the 7/11 or looking for a greater justification to deny the project as a whole because you don't
think it's use is appropriate at this location.
Commissioner Dopp stated maybe he is foreseeing this project getting through. He said there needs to
be an expectation moving forward to make sure 7/11 adheres to the principals and values the other
Commissioners have expressed. In terms of a commitment to go above and beyond what a traditional
convenience store actually does.
Matt Burris provided options to the Planning Commissioners that could identify a minimum percentage
type of foods or menu with the restaurant and the convenience store have dedicated towards Healthy
foods. If you're concern and want to go broader and speak to the design of the site or need additional
analysis to better understand what parameters that the project maybe excelling in or not doing so well in
with regards to its physical form in the neighborhood and it's context.
Commission Dopp stated he does not know if it advances the city towards long term generic goals of
creating a world class community. He is not sure this really provides high quality job opportunities for the
area. He said there is an expectation and model in the city that one of the bases to construct a mini
argument here is to deny the project is it has been reiterated by Staff, Mayor and Council the desire to
hold off for higher quality development is a worthwhile goal.
Commissioner Dopp said we can do better and over time by committing one of the key vacant lots of
land, maybe holding off and seeing overtime assuming the General Plan comes to fruition, we see a
tremendous increase in development, activity and quality that 7/11 might look out of place. That is his
general argument as to why we should deny the project. Requesting Commissioners take into
consideration Healthy RC and maybe finding some way to put into resolution some formal requirements
moving forward. Thinking long term.
Vice Chair Oaxaca expressed we have encountered a project that has exposed issues through
discussions about this project, he doesn't feel fully equipped to grapple with. The applicant has followed
the rules the best they can. He said we are also dealing with conversations taking place at the Council
level. We have a project before us that could potentially meet that we could to better, we have been

talking about. He is starting to feel less certain to make a decision aye or nay tonight based on what he
has heard.
Chairman Guglielmo expressed his excitement for this project, the new 7/11 prototype to be used in
Rancho Cucamonga. Stating applicant has gone the extra mile listening to our concerns. Offered up a
Lead Silver Certification. He worries about the Healthy RC, since there is really no clear outline what
that guideline might be. He is open to a discussion, but it may not be spelled out clear enough to where
they commit to something but cannot deliver on it. As far as the best use for that land, he thought it might
be a multi-tenant industrial park with retail stores in the front but it's just not that big of a site. It could
generate in terms of revenue for the City. Talking about revenue per acre. He said it's the best use for
that site in the foreseeable future. He is in support and would like to see it move forward.
Commissioner Oaxaca stated he is certainly not the one to make a decision. Something we should all
discuss as a Commission.
Nicholas Ghirelli provided options for the Commissioners explaining they have draft resolutions to
approve the project with all the conditions. They can ask staff to consider drafting conditions to address
concerns assuring that fresh food is sold in dedicated areas as identified in the floor plan. He said if you
try and come up with standards what those foods are, Commission should consider continuing the item
since staff will not have those standards in a form of a condition tonight. Options are: approve as is;
approve with new conditions; continue it so staff can explore new conditions; or deny the project.
Commissioner Williams mentioned she has a 7/11 around the corner from where she lives. It's an old
traditional 7/11 and she has been known to run over there and is amazed to find the item on their shelf.
She does not find it unhealthy at all. The fact is the applicant has gone the extra mile is very impressive.
She suggested that Healthy RC has guidelines and would be a very simple thing to take their logo to
restaurants and have it placed on their menu, "This is recommended by Healthy RC". She feels like she
is being asked to judge somebody who has already done everything we asked of them. She didn't think
they would come back but they did. She believes the neighbors will enjoy it very much and love having
the gas station there. She said we could end up having a nice product in that corner.
Matt Burris mentioned that the Healthly Development Checklist has a number of parameters on healthy
retailers and food offerings. We do have some information we could reference to help give suggestions,
inspiration to address or draft a Condition of Approval to speak to healthy food retailing. If so inclined to
have staff look into.
Commissioner Morales stated he appreciate all the work staff and applicant and hearing the comments
on both sides. He said it's not in the best interest for the city but respects what Commission decides to
do tonight.

C1. Discussion of City Council Goals for the Planning Commission and Land Development.
John Gillison, City Manager, presented the Planning Commissioners a PowerPoint presentation on A Review
of the City Council's Visions and Goals.
Video of Mayor L. Dennis Michael stating our citizens are expecting quality level. Having a strong Planning
Commission articulating the City Council's vision and goals is key to meeting these expectations. He
mentioned over the decades, Rancho Cucamonga has learned that somethings we need to say no, in a firm
but very professional way, and be patient to ensure when we say yes, we are confident we are choosing the
best option for our community. He said as Mayor, along with City Council, are entrusting Planning
Commissioners with the judgement to say no in order to preserve land for great opportunities are yet to come
and yet to be envisioned. If a project is presented to you but it's not quite right or not to our high standards,
do not hesitate to send applicant back with suggestions for improvement to their project. Enable us to rise
to the next level of the world class community we continue striving to be.
Video of Mayor Pro Tern - Lynne Kennedy stated the community expects us the City Council, Planning
Commission and Staff to ensure that new development does not deplete the cities financial resources but
adds to them to improve the long-term vitality of our community. The Community also expect a new
development exceeds the quality of what has come before so we remain City of choice. Take the extra step
and push for things that staff might not otherwise be able to achieve without your persistence and insistence.
The City Council do not expect every project that comes before you to be approved. The Council does
expect every project you do approve will be an additional step towards achieving our vision for the future,
ensuring long term financial sustainability and quality growth.
Matt Burris Deputy, City Manager, discussed Council Core Values and Mission Statement. Explaining why

AVENUE — MCKENTLY MALAK ARCHITECTS —A request for site plan and architectural
review to replace three existing buildings totaling 10,135 square feet with three new
buildings and a drive-thru lane totaling 9,497 square feet, a related Conditional Use Permit
to establish the drive-thru lane and a Variance to reduce the required building setback and
maximum building height for a 4.21 acre (183,534 square feet) project site located in the
Community Commercial (CC) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District, at the southwest
corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, APN: 0207-211-42. DESIGN REVIEW
DRC2020-00318, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (MODIFICATION) DRC2020-00319 &
VARIANCE DRC2020-00397. (Continued from April 14, 2021 Planning Commission
Meeting.)
Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and presentation
(copy on file).
Chairman Guglielmo asked the Commission if there were any comments for staff on the Public Hearing
item.
Commissioner Dopp asked what kind of discussions did Staff have with developer on the property that
maybe more could be done with this parcel. He said possibly finding different ways to bring in business
to that corner.
Anne McIntosh, Planning Director, explained that this project has the existing center on Foothill frontage
and behind it is a large vacant land area and two buildings. She said if you could conceive of something
that could be placed on the entire site, if lots where all consolidated and redeveloped as one big project,
we probably would not recommend approval of one-story buildings along Foothill. Your point is well taken
in terms of our larger land use policies and what we are hoping for when we get a brand-new
comprehensive project. She said this Applicant is looking to re-tenant their building and remodel this
strip center. Their goal for this project is to remodel and bring in active tenants. She stated we evaluated
what they are applying for, not what might be possible in the future.
Nick Ghirelli, City Attorney, mentioned there are a number of vacant buildings being remodeled, and new
uses are being put in there. There will be an increase of financial performance at this site. Tabe
mentioned the vacant building will be split off from the rest of parcel as a condition of the project. He said
in addition to the lot split, there is also a condition that will require the building within 30 days be abated
so the nuisance conditions on the side are removed or the applicant has the opportunity to demolish the
building. There will probably be some fiscal performance out of having that nuisance building removed
from site.
Commissioner Dopp asked if there is something more that could be done somewhere down the line doing
something different with this project. He was wondering if possible, room for discussion to maybe create
some sort of synergy in that project with the Historic Home. He is worried it will underutilize property over
a couple of decades. He feels we might have a missed opportunity to use that home and create a more
unifying development.
Tabe van der Zwaag mentioned the Historic House is being used as a commercial building now. He said
the owner of building has done some improvements for access to that building. Hopefully, we will get
good tenants in that building and help create a more synergy between it and the rest of the center.
With no further discussion from Commissioners, Chairman Guglielmo re-opened public hearing.
Haney McLak, Applicant, provided background and history of project and expressed excitement to begin.
Commissioner Dopp asked for Mr. McLak to talk about his unique challenges and aspects of this project
he is excited to bring to the table.
Mr. McLak answered trying to squeeze in a historic building on one side and existing lease with KFC on
another in this particular corner was challenging. He said grading issues and getting the circulation to
work well. He mentioned the biggest thing he loves is the opportunity for patio spaces. It brings more
life to the space.
Frank Wang, Property Manager for Vineyard Hill, LLC located in the City of Walnut, representing owners
at 8800 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga. Parcel Numbers: 0207-21143 and 0207-21144. He is
representing owners to discuss the onsite project easements. Concerned that the proposed construction
and renovations will affect the condition and status of these easements. He said owners of Vineyard Hill
LLC are undergoing planning for future development on Foothill Blvd./Vineyard Ave. where its completion
will foresee a significant increase in pedestrian traffic in neighboring commercial lots and want to discuss
further on the implementation on the drive thru and impact of pedestrian traffic and safety.

FINAL
Tabe van der Zwaag stated their property is the vacant parcel that is part of the project site. They own
two parcels within the greater project area. Explaining that parcel was originally designated as the anchor
tenants to the shopping center when it was originally conceived by the City. He said we have been in
discussion with the owner and they have provided a preliminary site plan for a mixed-use project in that
location.
Mr. McLak's rebuttal — Once we have the opportunity to sell Building F and subdivide the property, they
will have direct access up on Vineyard and if there is a mixed-use project within that pedestrian, activity
would take hold directly into Vineyard. Looking at the site development layout, there is access
opportunities for sidewalks that can be developed within their property that would directly access our
portion of the land and have access into KFC and other buildings as well. He is willing to look at their
plans and how they can join cross access.
With no more comments from the Public, Chairman Guglielmo closed public hearing.
Vice Chair Oaxaca expressed he liked the look and design of the project. He said redesigning the
corner with the two buildings gives it more a pedestrian friendly and welcoming feel. Drive thru lane will
not become a problem with circulation within parking lot. Project is nicely done.
Commissioner Morales stated the requested setback reduction for Building D is reasonable because of
13 ft. bus stop and right turn lane. He said it will be in close proximity to the existing building there now.
The minor increase of building height of 4 ft. higher is reasonable so buildings look nice. The Condition
of Approval for Building F is absolutely necessary to bring project and area up to our high standards. The
architectural and design to the new buildings is definitely an improvement to what is there now and fulfills
the City Council Goals of continuous improvement. He is in favor of the project.
Commissioner Dopp stated his main reservation will continue to be the use of revenue and the best use
of land. He said what he heard made him sway him in another direction. The house can be better utilized
in the future. If this project at the end of the day does it, then that could be a motivation of hope. By
approving this project, the hope would be we end up doing something great with the property that is left.
He approves the property going forward.
Commissioner Williams stated this project is long overdue. She said we can really set some high
standards for this particular project. She would like to see restaurants with strung up lights, a little activity
going on and once in a while with live music. She said the people in the area will welcome it and she is
in favor of the project.
Chairman Guglielmo agrees with Commissioner Williams. He is also excited about the project.
Expressed he enjoyed the fly through video because it helps to visualize, and he hopes to encourage
future applicants to do similar.
Nick Ghirelli, City Attorney, reiterated the Commissioners will be acting on a Design Review approval that
gives Commission to look at walkability and encourage harmonious appearance and structure within the
city. Also heard about the traffic queuing with the drive-thru and a traffic study was prepared and provided
to you. He said it sounds like all Commissioners have reached their conclusion but wanted to let you
know for your consideration.

E. General Business
El. Discussion of Draft Development Standards for Industrial Uses and Related Amendments
to the Development Code.
Jennifer Nakamura, Management Analyst II, presented the Commissioners with a PowerPoint presentation
to get their input, feedback, questions, and concerns. She said we will make final refinements to the Draft
Development Code and on May 26'", we will come back for your recommendation and that recommendation
will go to City Council on June 161" will then review the final draft development code and review your
recommendation and make a final determination.
Anne McIntosh mentioned as a reminder, the moratorium will end late June. We are timing this to meet that
deadline. The ordinance will not be in effect until July. Getting it to the Council before the moratorium ends
is adequate.
Commissioner Morales' concern is truck traffic. He asked with truck traffic and parking, is it the best we can
do to control queuing of trucks on the streets, so they are not parked in the middle of the road.
Jennifer Nakamura replied the on-site queuing plan, which is one of the components of the parking
management plan, is a piece. However, because we are looking at conditioning each of these projects there
maybe, as we go through these projects, additional levers or controls we need to consider through conditions
of approval. She said we will continue to engage the development community to ask their feedback. We are
somewhat ahead of the curve in some of these issues. If we don't feel that its working, we can come back
and present additional standards as we need them.
Commissioner Morales mentioned ebikes are becoming more popular use of transportation. Employees for
these industrial sites, should we add bike racks and charging station for those.
Jennifer Nakamura responded it's a great idea and adding a charging station is reasonable and makes sense.
Something to take a closer look at.
Vice Chair Oaxaca stated when we look at the traffic implications of these large-scale truck intensive uses,
are we looking at the standards from a perspective of making sure we don't fall into the cumulative trap.
Where we didn't give ourselves the tools to be able to react to make sure we do not end up exactly what we
did not want with those ugly looking levels of service on our streets through there.
Jennifer Nakamura replied that is why we spent the time doing the type of analysis that we did. She said
that is a concern but having those standards as part of the General Plan is important because it sets a
foundation for future development in that area.
Nick Ghirelli, City Attorney, mentioned for our larger warehouses the City has required that EIR's be prepared
and you do have to look at cumulative impacts associated, not just the project but how it interacts with other
projects in the area and other foreseeable projects. He said there is a mechanism for CEQA to evaluate that
type of impact. He said that is separate from the planning process you are going through right now.
Jason Welday, Engineering Director, replied one of the aspects in our traffic impact analysis standards is the
level of service analysis, due to the problem is the capacity issues on our roadways. He said we look at both
the project level at the opening year, as well as the horizon year, the future year scenario in order to try and
capture the cumulative project by project basis but that cannot capture everything. He said we are working
on a bigger picture analysis right now, so we don't find ourselves in that problem.

Anne McIntosh reminded the Commission we will review the Draft General Plan on May 121" and a few days
it will be released. You will have an opportunity to see that focus area defined better.
Commissioner Williams commended staff for reaching out to stakeholders. She said not just take what they
have to say but incorporate it, use it.
Jennifer Nakamura stated they really focus on balancing what they say will work right now vs. what our long-
term vision is for a world class community and meeting our vision.
Anne McIntosh mentioned another thing we realized with an industrial development is it cycles. It may begin
with an existing property owner and then maybe sold to a developer and the developer will find the tenants
later. She said the responsibility we have is to think about the entire cycle and that is why we came up with
the ideas with the different parking strategies. We have to think about that upfront.
Chairman Guglielmo stated it looked like you were going from 50 to 60% in all zones. He asked if that applied
just in SEIQ or all over the city.
Jennifer Nakamura answered that it will apply to all industrial zones within the city. Not specific to SEIQ or
Foothill corridor. These standards will apply everywhere. In the areas previously zoned heavily industrial
those have a maximum of 50% and that is increasing. She said others are currently already at 60%.
Commissioner Dopp asked is it fair to say we are trying to transition industrial areas in the city towards more
of that new industrial conversation that maybe is more vibrant and brings more to the community at large.
Jennifer Nakamura replied one of the things we talked about previously is the smaller buildings generally
tend to have a better fiscal performance and one of things we want to do is encourage smaller businesses
to come to the city as well. It's not to say, we are not interested in having larger industrial buildings or that
we do not see a need for logistics or distribution. She said those are incredibly high demand and are really
important. We want to have a variety and want that diversity of industrial base. We want to see auto repair
shops, small printing business and other types of businesses that can help create this more vibrant
community and then mix up with some of these commercial oriented uses.
Commissioner Dopp asked what kind of demand is there for these kinds of uses in the Inland Empire or for
Rancho Cucamonga at large.
Jennifer Nakamura answered we don't know until we put it out there. She said if we don't, we could potentially
be missing opportunities.
Commissioner Dopp stated there is an opportunity moving forward as we transition over to the General Plan
discussions within the next few months, he is looking at incubator spaces and a great opportunity we have
to take partnership with some of the research universities in the area. Young adults who are doing something
exciting in the Engineering program or Science field. He asked regarding manufacturing, is it fair to say
moving forward, we are really looking to try and get rid of heavy polluting industries in our city.
Jennifer Nakamura replied those businesses are transitioning out of California probably for reasons that have
nothing to do with Rancho Cucamonga. We believe long term that is not going to be unsurprising with other
type of heavier manufacture and other type of business. She said this is a time to start focusing on more
cleaner, less noxious type of industrial uses.

Commissioner Dopp stated in terms of warehousing, one thing he noticed in the land use destination is you
look at warehouses that are over 100,000 square feet, you change the code to City Council approval. He
asked if there is value in allowing the Planning Commission to have a recommendation to the City Council
on warehouses that are large. The argument for it would probably be you are creating double backstop
against projects that might be bad for the city by opening public communications twice.
Jennifer Nakamura answered if that was not clear in the amendments, they will make it. She said that was
always their intent to have the Planning Commission as a recommending body when the City Council makes
a final decision.
Commissioner Dopp appreciates the attempt of staff to use the code to drive a further discussion about what
industrial areas can look like in the 21 SI Century. He said it's really good that Rancho Cucamonga is maybe
starting that forge conversation in our area about the fact that industrial areas are not just a bunch of
warehouses. He hopes by changing the code this starts to happen by some level. He commented that he
appreciates the fact that staff focused on Foothill. Commission has a visionary idea for what we want the
major thoroughfare to be by limiting the types of development on Foothill is a good thing.
He said also, the focus on solar that requirement is critical moving forward. Commission talked about
southwest corridor, by putting that requirement in, it moves to equity and better opportunities for better health
for that side of the city. In terms of staff and how they approached this, he mentioned to Anne, this way of
approaching development code is the best way. This approach works.
Chairman Guglielmo opened up to the Public for any comments on this item.
Bill Blankenship, Representative NAIOP Chapter, stated his concerns to the city and industry regarding this
important matter and reporting some inconsistencies that need to be addressed. He said they look forward
to working with staff and removing the moratorium.
F. Director Announcements
Anne McIntosh mentioned if Commissioners have any questions on the code to please contact us on your
own within the next few weeks. We want to get ahead of any issues raised before that hearing date. Also,
as City Manager Gillison mentioned, the City Council adopted a moratorium last week, an urgency ordinance,
that if it's extended, it would occur on June 2nd and it is for service station moratorium. A City-wide issuance
on any kind of planning entitlements and building permits. She also reminded Commissioners of the May
12'" Study Session starting at 4:00 p.m. via Zoom.
G. Commission Announcements
Commissioner Morales commented on the Draft Development Industrial Code. He congratulated staff and
acknowledged them as a good example of executing the goal of being exclusive with the stakeholders and
where able to come up with good products and thanked them for being professional.
Commissioner Dopp requested a Staff or Director Report regarding Haven Avenue on what Council is looking
for on the planning end of things. What is going to be the approach on the strategy for Haven. He said it's
not urgent but if something comes up on the agendas in future meetings, it would be a good idea to have the
background.

INITIATED BY: Jason C. Welday, Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer
Justine Garcia Deputy Director of Engineering Services
SUBJECT: Consideration of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Capital Improvement
Program for Fiscal Year 2021/22
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 21-35 which finds the Capital
Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2021/22 in conformity with the adopted General Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Summary Index including the General Plan Reference(s), Exhibit 2, is
required per Government Code 65401, Exhibit 1, to be adopted by the Ciy Council. The Planning Commission
is required to find the CIP in conformity with the adopted General Plan. The CIP document includes a General
Plan Policies section that evidences the specific policy references found in the General Plan.
The CIP is a vital piece of the City's Annual Operating Budget as it dictated major capital expenditures obligated
in any given year. The CIP consists of a multi-year plan for citywide infrastructure improvements. Each year, the
City budgets for funded projects which will occur during said fiscal year. The list of projects contained in the CIP
addresses both the City's long and short-term capital needs. It identifies projects that reflect the desires of the
community, as well as project that serve operational and maintenance needs.
ANALYSIS:
The CIP Summary Index has been categorized by corresponding Departments and project names are in
alphabetical order within each section. Individual project sheets include a short summary, cost, and year funded
and can be viewed on the City's CIP Viewer online at:

of the property and all surrounding properties is Very Low (VL) Residential District,
Etiwanda Specific Plan.
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan except for the proposed lot depth of Lots 1 and
5 that will be approximately 135 feet in depth and will not comply with the minimum lot depth of
200 feet as required per the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant has submitted a Variance
request for consideration by the Planning Commission. The proposed development, otherwise,
meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the
design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City.

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"), an Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Blodgett Baylosis Env. Planning
and was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the
report. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be
required to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730, telephone (909) 774-4330.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

*Etiwanda Specific Plan .1 to 2 Units Per Acre and Equestrian Overlay
e. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a reduced lot depth for Lots 1 and 5
(the subject lots) of the proposed 5-lot subdivision; and
f. Per Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, the required minimum lot depth for
residential lots within the Very Low (VL) Residential District is 200 feet; and
g. The proposed lot depth of the subject lots will be approximately 135 feet; and
h. The proposed lot width of the subject lots will be approximately 190 feet, while the
lot area of the two lots will be 25,732 square feet (Lot 1) and 23,615 square feet (Lot 5).
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 proposed residential subdivision is an in-fill project with limited
reasonable lot configuration options. The overall north to south dimension of the project site is
approximately 331 feet. The project site is bound on all sides by existing development. Therefore,
there is no opportunity to acquire additional land, specifically to the north or the south,which would
allow Lots 1 and 5 to be greater in depth. Reducing the number of lots to allow for greater lot size is
not reasonable as most of the proposed lots are already significantly larger than the minimum
required for this development district; and
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 project site is located at the east terminus of Arapaho Road
approximately 200 feet east of the intersection of that street with Choctaw Place. The project site is
bound to the north, south, and west by existing residential development and associated
improvements. The extension of Arapaho Road will generally bisect the project site. Alternate
alignments of the proposed extension such as shifting it further south or north are not possible
because of the limits imposed by technical standards for street design including minimum
dimensions for street width, curve radii, and cul-de-sacs. The project site was part of a larger parcel
that was partially developed with a telephone switching facility on the east side. In May 2006, the
larger parcel was subdivided into two (2) parcels. The part of the property that was developed with
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-27
VARIANCE DRC2019-00786 —W&W LAND DESIGN CONSULTANTS
May 26, 2021
Page 3
the telephone switching facility became a separate parcel, while the larger, undeveloped part of the
property was sold to the current owner(the applicant). As the telephone facility occupies the entire
smaller parcel, it was not possible at the time of the subdivision, nor is it possible now, to consider
the option of a street connecting the project site with East Avenue that, in turn, could have provided
the applicant the opportunity to propose an alternate subdivision design; and
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.
The overall dimensions of the project site are approximately 442 feet (east to west) by
approximately 331 feet (north to south). Requiring that all lots be 200 feet in depth would
necessitate a re-design of the subdivision. This would cause a different set of challenges. All lots
must have public street access and the extension of Arapaho Road will be an east to west direction.
In order for the depth of each lot to be 200 feet, the long axis of all lots, i.e. the axis along where
the lot depth is measured, also would have to be in an east to west direction. The only way to
reasonably accomplish this would be to eliminate one of the lots. However, the result would be
excessively large lots relative to the existing properties in the neighborhood and the development
district in general. Furthermore,the orientation of the long axis would not match the long axis of the
other properties within the existing residential development to the west that have primary frontage
along Arapaho Road. This will affect the location of, or preclude altogether, improvements such as
room additions and accessory structures as the setbacks would be oriented differently as well; and
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 principal
purpose of the minimum lot depth standard is to allow horse keeping, while still maintaining a
minimum separation of 70 feet between horse corrals (or similar equestrian facilities)and dwellings
on neighboring properties per Section 17.08.030(E)(2)(b)of the Development Code. The reduction
in the depth of the subject lots from 200 feet to 135 feet will not be in conflict with this requirement
as it will be offset by the width of each lot. Each lot will be an average of approximately 175 feet
wide; the minimum lot width in this development district is 90 feet.The applicant has demonstrated
on the plans that horse corrals can be plotted such that they are 70 feet from the residence on the
adjacent lot. Lots 1 and 5 will be 25,732 and 23,615 square foot in area, respectively, which will
exceed the minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet applicable to the development district of the site;
and
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 reduced depth
of the subject lots will not affect the neighboring properties and/or property owners. Practical
differences in the physical attributes/characteristics between the lots in the surrounding area and
the subject lots will be limited. Separation between structures and common property lines will be
consistent with existing residential development within this development district. The overall area of
Lots 1 and 5 will be 25,732 and 23,615 square feet, respectively, similar to the lot areas of the
neighboring properties to the west at 13186 Arapaho Road and at 6323 Choctaw Place are 22,165

findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA"), an Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Blodgett Baylosis Env. Planning
and was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the
report. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be
required to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. Based on that
determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided
public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it,finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii)that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning 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) 774-4330.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in

APN: 0225-181-73.
A. Recitals.
1. W&W Land Design Consultants filed an application for Minor Exception DRC2019-
00787 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Minor
Exception request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 12th day of May 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing and concluded said hearing to May
26, 2021.
3. On the 26th day of May 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said application and concluded
said hearing on that date.
4. 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 May 26, 2021, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a parcel located at the east terminus of Arapaho Road
between East Avenue and Choctaw Place; and
b. The application is related to Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20152 for the
subdivision of 146,429 square feet (3.4 acres) into 5 residential lots; and
C. The project site is a rectangular parcel with an overall area of approximately 3.4
acres. The overall dimensions of the site are approximately 442 feet deep (east to west) and 331
feet (north to south) and is currently vacant; and

d. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations
for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to the above-noted parcels) are as
follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Site Vacant Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*
North Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*
South Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*
East Single-Family Residence/ Very Low Very Low (VL) Residential District*
Frontier Switching Station
West Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*
*Etiwanda Specific Plan .1 to 2 Units Per Acre and Equestrian Overlay
e. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to allow the construction of
combination walls (garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls) with a height of up to 8 feet
adjacent to lots 4 and 5 within the subdivision; and
f. Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of
fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 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. The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan any applicable specific
plan or development agreement. The General Plan designation of the project site is Very Low
(VL) Residential, and the zoning of the property is Very Low (VL) Residential District, Etiwanda
Specific Plan. The Minor Exception does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning
designation, or the residential purpose of the project site; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with the existing and proposed land
uses in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception will not result in a substantially larger house,
an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to the physical lot area of the
subject lots; and
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. The proposed walls will be located generally where there
are grade differences that warrant retaining walls. Generally, the natural terrain of the project site
slopes from north to south. Therefore, the usual alternative, an earthen slope, is not practical
because of the lack of available space in the side yards between the house and the property line
wall; and
d. The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious properties or improvements
in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct walls that will provide
adequate property screening/security and usable yard area and are similar to other walls that
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-28
ME DRC2019-00787—W&W LAND DESIGN SERVICES
May 26, 2021
Page 3
have been constructed for the same purpose because of similar site conditions. The walls will be
consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City.
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"), an Initial Study
of the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Blodgett Baylosis Env.
Planning and was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to
review the report. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant
will be required to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. Based on that
determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided
public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole
record before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning 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) 774-4330.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

site specific percolation testing which may reduce the required seepage pit depth. A copy of the
LAMP OWTS is available on the Building and Safety webpage.
44. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit for this development, the applicant shall provide to the City
Engineer, or his designee, for reference a copy of the separate On-site Wastewater Treatment
System (OWTS) plans for reference with the submittal of the precise grading plan. The separately
permitted OWTS shall be submitted to the Building Official for review and permitting. The OWTS
shall meet the requirements of adopted Local Agency Management Program for On-Site
Wastewater Treatment Systems (LAMP OWTS), effective September 17, 2018 which will require
site specific percolation testing which may reduce the required seepage pit depth. A copy of the
LAMP OWTS is available on the Building and Safety webpage.
45. The permitted grading plan and the final project-specific water quality management plan are
proposing stormwater detention basin (commonly referred to as BMPs) for the treatment of storm
water runoff as required in the current adopted Municipal Separate Storm Sewers Systems (MS4)
Permit. The depth of the proposed retained water equals or exceeds 18-inches. Therefore prior to
the issuance of a grading permit and approval of the final project-specific water quality management
plan the applicant shall show a barrier a minimum of 60-inches above the finished ground surface.
46. Prior to the approval of the final project-specific water quality management plan (WQMP), the
WQMP shall show the locations of the equestrian corrals which meet the City's current Development
Code requirements. Each equestrian corral shall have a storm water (BMP) provided to treat storm
water runoff from the corral.
47. The proposed storm water BMP infiltration basin is showing an overflow pipe along the southside of
the project. The project drainage (hydrology/hydraulics) study shall provide hydraulic calculations for
the pipe. The pipe shall also be shown in a plan and profile view on the permitted grading plan set
showing a water surface profile gradient. The pipe shall be capable of withstanding H-10 vehicle
loads.

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"), an Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Blodgett Baylosis Env. Planning
and was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the
report. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be
required to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730, telephone (909) 774-4330.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 0225-181-73.
A. Recitals.

*Etiwanda Specific Plan .1 to 2 Units Per Acre and Equestrian Overlay
e. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a reduced lot depth for Lots 1 and 5
(the subject lots) of the proposed 5-lot subdivision; and
f. Per Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, the required minimum lot depth for
residential lots within the Very Low (VL) Residential District is 200 feet; and
g. The proposed lot depth of the subject lots will be approximately 135 feet; and
h. The proposed lot width of the subject lots will be approximately 190 feet, while the
lot area of the two lots will be 25,732 square feet (Lot 1) and 23,615 square feet (Lot 5).
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 proposed residential subdivision is an in-fill project with limited
reasonable lot configuration options. The overall north to south dimension of the project site is
approximately 331 feet. The project site is bound on all sides by existing development. Therefore,
there is no opportunity to acquire additional land, specifically to the north or the south,which would
allow Lots 1 and 5 to be greater in depth. Reducing the number of lots to allow for greater lot size is
not reasonable as most of the proposed lots are already significantly larger than the minimum
required for this development district; and
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 project site is located at the east terminus of Arapaho Road
approximately 200 feet east of the intersection of that street with Choctaw Place. The project site is
bound to the north, south, and west by existing residential development and associated
improvements. The extension of Arapaho Road will generally bisect the project site. Alternate
alignments of the proposed extension such as shifting it further south or north are not possible
because of the limits imposed by technical standards for street design including minimum
dimensions for street width, curve radii, and cul-de-sacs. The project site was part of a larger parcel
that was partially developed with a telephone switching facility on the east side. In May 2006, the
larger parcel was subdivided into two (2) parcels. The part of the property that was developed with
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-27
VARIANCE DRC2019-00786 —W&W LAND DESIGN CONSULTANTS
May 26, 2021
Page 3
the telephone switching facility became a separate parcel, while the larger, undeveloped part of the
property was sold to the current owner(the applicant). As the telephone facility occupies the entire
smaller parcel, it was not possible at the time of the subdivision, nor is it possible now, to consider
the option of a street connecting the project site with East Avenue that, in turn, could have provided
the applicant the opportunity to propose an alternate subdivision design; and
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.
The overall dimensions of the project site are approximately 442 feet (east to west) by
approximately 331 feet (north to south). Requiring that all lots be 200 feet in depth would
necessitate a re-design of the subdivision. This would cause a different set of challenges. All lots
must have public street access and the extension of Arapaho Road will be an east to west direction.
In order for the depth of each lot to be 200 feet, the long axis of all lots, i.e. the axis along where
the lot depth is measured, also would have to be in an east to west direction. The only way to
reasonably accomplish this would be to eliminate one of the lots. However, the result would be
excessively large lots relative to the existing properties in the neighborhood and the development
district in general. Furthermore,the orientation of the long axis would not match the long axis of the
other properties within the existing residential development to the west that have primary frontage
along Arapaho Road. This will affect the location of, or preclude altogether, improvements such as
room additions and accessory structures as the setbacks would be oriented differently as well; and
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 principal
purpose of the minimum lot depth standard is to allow horse keeping, while still maintaining a
minimum separation of 70 feet between horse corrals (or similar equestrian facilities)and dwellings
on neighboring properties per Section 17.08.030(E)(2)(b)of the Development Code. The reduction
in the depth of the subject lots from 200 feet to 135 feet will not be in conflict with this requirement
as it will be offset by the width of each lot. Each lot will be an average of approximately 175 feet
wide; the minimum lot width in this development district is 90 feet.The applicant has demonstrated
on the plans that horse corrals can be plotted such that they are 70 feet from the residence on the
adjacent lot. Lots 1 and 5 will be 25,732 and 23,615 square foot in area, respectively, which will
exceed the minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet applicable to the development district of the site;
and
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 reduced depth
of the subject lots will not affect the neighboring properties and/or property owners. Practical
differences in the physical attributes/characteristics between the lots in the surrounding area and
the subject lots will be limited. Separation between structures and common property lines will be
consistent with existing residential development within this development district. The overall area of
Lots 1 and 5 will be 25,732 and 23,615 square feet, respectively, similar to the lot areas of the
neighboring properties to the west at 13186 Arapaho Road and at 6323 Choctaw Place are 22,165
and 21,162 square feet, respectively.
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"), an Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Blodgett Baylosis Env. Planning
and was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the
report. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be
required to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. Based on that
determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided
public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it,finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii)that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning 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,

5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

d. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations
for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to the above-noted parcels) are as
follows:
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Site Vacant Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*
North Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*
South Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District*

e. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to allow the construction of
combination walls (garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls) with a height of up to 8 feet
adjacent to lots 4 and 5 within the subdivision; and
f. Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of
fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 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. The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan any applicable specific
plan or development agreement. The General Plan designation of the project site is Very Low
(VL) Residential, and the zoning of the property is Very Low (VL) Residential District, Etiwanda
Specific Plan. The Minor Exception does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning
designation, or the residential purpose of the project site; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with the existing and proposed land
uses in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception will not result in a substantially larger house,
an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to the physical lot area of the
subject lots; and
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. The proposed walls will be located generally where there
are grade differences that warrant retaining walls. Generally, the natural terrain of the project site
slopes from north to south. Therefore, the usual alternative, an earthen slope, is not practical
because of the lack of available space in the side yards between the house and the property line
wall; and
d. The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious properties or improvements
in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct walls that will provide
adequate property screening/security and usable yard area and are similar to other walls that

have been constructed for the same purpose because of similar site conditions. The walls will be
consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City.
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"), an Initial Study
of the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Blodgett Baylosis Env.
Planning and was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to
review the report. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant
will be required to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. Based on that
determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided
public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole
record before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning 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) 774-4330.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

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"),the Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and was
peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report. Based
on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be required to
comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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. No comments
were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with,the mitigation measures forthe project.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it,finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii)that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department

d. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to allow the construction of
combination walls (garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls) with a height of up to 8 feet along
the southern boundary of the project site; and
e. Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of
fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 feet.
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 development is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of
the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the purposes of the district in which
the site is located. The General Plan designation of the project site is Very Low and the zoning
of the property is Very Low (VL) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The Minor Exception
does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning designation, or the residential purpose of
the project site; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses
in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception for additional wall height will not result in a
substantially larger house, an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to
the physical lot area of the subject lots; and
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or
accommodate unique site conditions. The proposed walls will be located generally where there
are grade differences that warrant retaining walls. Generally, the natural terrain of the project site
slopes from north to south. Therefore, the usual alternative, an earthen slope, is not practical
because of the lack of available space; and
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-33

in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct walls that will provide
adequate property screening/security and usable yard area and are similar to other walls that
have been constructed for the same purpose because of similar site conditions. The walls will be
consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City.
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"), the Initial Study
of the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and
was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report.
Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be required
to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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. No
comments were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has
also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures
for the project.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole
record before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning
Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho

d. The applicant is requesting the removal of up to 129 trees, including live,
standing dead, and stumps. An Arborist Report (Jim Borer, March 2, 2021) was submitted that
reviews the health and condition of the onsite trees. The report concludes that based on poor
health and improper pruning all the onsite trees except for four (4) existing street trees should be
removed. The Landscape Plan for the project includes the planting of 236 trees including
replacement eucalyptus windrows along the north and south property lines; and
e. This application is in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20334, for the
subdivision of 10.24 acres of land in 17 residential lots, Design Review DRC2020-00139, for the
construction of 17 single-family residences, and Minor Exception DRC2020-00141, for increased
wall heights due to onsite grades.
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 removal of the trees is necessary due to the condition of the trees related to
disease, danger of collapse, proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility services;
and
b. The removal of the trees is necessary in order to construct improvements which
will allow economic enjoyment of the property. The seven heritage trees on the project site are in
conflict with the proposed development of 17 single-family residences on the project site; and
C. The removal of the trees will not negatively impact the neighborhood, the
established character of the area, and property values. The removal of the trees will not negatively
impact the neighborhood or the character of the area as there are a large number of mature trees
surrounding the project site. Additionally, the applicant will plant 236 replacement trees including
eucalyptus windrows along the north and south property lines; and
d. The removal of the trees is necessary to construct required improvements within
the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way. The removal of the
subject trees is necessary to construct public improvements; and
e. The trees cannot be preserved through pruning and proper maintenance or
relocation. A large number of the trees are in poor condition or need to be removed due to conflict

with the proposed improvements related to the construction of the proposed 17-lot subdivision;
and
f. The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource in the city. The trees
slated for removal do not constitute a significant natural resource as the trees in the surrounding
area are not dependent for their survival or are they significant because of their size, species,
location or aesthetic qualities; and
g. Removal of the trees is not restricted by a Specific Plan, Community Plan, or
condition of approval. The eucalyptus trees along the north and south property line are required
to be replaced per the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The landscape plan submitted for the project
includes planting replacement eucalyptus windrows along the north and south property lines; and
h. Every effort has been made to incorporate the trees into the design of the project
and the only appropriate alternative is the removal of the tree. The trees slated for removal are in
conflict with the construction of on-site improvements and cannot be incorporated into the project;
and
i. The removal of the trees will not have a negative impact on the health, safety, or
viability of surrounding trees, nor will it negatively impact the aesthetics or general welfare of the
surrounding area. The project site is in an area with a large number of mature trees. The impact
on the surrounding area will be minimal with the planting of 236 replacement trees.
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"), the Initial Study
of the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and
was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report.
Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be required
to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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. No
comments were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has
also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures
for the project.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-34
TRP DRC2020-00140 — MANNING HOMES

Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning
Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho
Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 774-4330.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

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"),the Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and was
peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report. Based
on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be required to
comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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. No comments
were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with,the mitigation measures forthe project.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it,finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii)that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included forthe 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"), the Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and was
peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report. Based
on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be required to
comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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. No comments
were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with,the mitigation measures for the project.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of

d. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to allow the construction of
combination walls (garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls) with a height of up to 8 feet along
the southern boundary of the project site; and
e. Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of
fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 feet.
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 development is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of
the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the purposes of the district in which
the site is located. The General Plan designation of the project site is Very Low and the zoning
of the property is Very Low (VL) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The Minor Exception
does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning designation, or the residential purpose of
the project site; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses
in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception for additional wall height will not result in a
substantially larger house, an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to
the physical lot area of the subject lots; and
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or
accommodate unique site conditions. The proposed walls will be located generally where there
are grade differences that warrant retaining walls. Generally, the natural terrain of the project site
slopes from north to south. Therefore, the usual alternative, an earthen slope, is not practical
because of the lack of available space; and
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements

in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct walls that will provide
adequate property screening/security and usable yard area and are similar to other walls that
have been constructed for the same purpose because of similar site conditions. The walls will be
consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City.
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"), the Initial Study
of the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and
was peer-reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report.
Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures that the applicant will be required
to comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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. No
comments were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has
also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures

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

described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tree Removal
Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 12th day of May 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of

d. The applicant is requesting the removal of up to 129 trees, including live,
standing dead, and stumps. An Arborist Report (Jim Borer, March 2, 2021) was submitted that
reviews the health and condition of the onsite trees. The report concludes that based on poor
health and improper pruning all the onsite trees except for four (4) existing street trees should be
removed. The Landscape Plan for the project includes the planting of 236 trees including
replacement eucalyptus windrows along the north and south property lines; and
e. This application is in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20334, for the
subdivision of 10.24 acres of land in 17 residential lots, Design Review DRC2020-00139, for the
construction of 17 single-family residences, and Minor Exception DRC2020-00141, for increased
wall heights due to onsite grades.
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 removal of the trees is necessary due to the condition of the trees related to
disease, danger of collapse, proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility services;
and
b. The removal of the trees is necessary in order to construct improvements which
will allow economic enjoyment of the property. The seven heritage trees on the project site are in
conflict with the proposed development of 17 single-family residences on the project site; and
C. The removal of the trees will not negatively impact the neighborhood, the
established character of the area, and property values. The removal of the trees will not negatively
impact the neighborhood or the character of the area as there are a large number of mature trees
surrounding the project site. Additionally, the applicant will plant 236 replacement trees including
eucalyptus windrows along the north and south property lines; and
d. The removal of the trees is necessary to construct required improvements within
the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way. The removal of the
subject trees is necessary to construct public improvements; and
e. The trees cannot be preserved through pruning and proper maintenance or
relocation. A large number of the trees are in poor condition or need to be removed due to conflict
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-34
TRP DRC2020-00140 — MANNING HOMES
May 26, 2021
Page 3
with the proposed improvements related to the construction of the proposed 17-lot subdivision;
and
f. The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource in the city. The trees
slated for removal do not constitute a significant natural resource as the trees in the surrounding
area are not dependent for their survival or are they significant because of their size, species,
location or aesthetic qualities; and
g. Removal of the trees is not restricted by a Specific Plan, Community Plan, or
condition of approval. The eucalyptus trees along the north and south property line are required
to be replaced per the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The landscape plan submitted for the project
includes planting replacement eucalyptus windrows along the north and south property lines; and
h. Every effort has been made to incorporate the trees into the design of the project
and the only appropriate alternative is the removal of the tree. The trees slated for removal are in
conflict with the construction of on-site improvements and cannot be incorporated into the project;
and
i. The removal of the trees will not have a negative impact on the health, safety, or
viability of surrounding trees, nor will it negatively impact the aesthetics or general welfare of the
surrounding area. The project site is in an area with a large number of mature trees. The impact
on the surrounding area will be minimal with the planting of 236 replacement trees.
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"), the Initial Study

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Anne McIntosh, AICP, Planning Director
INITIATED BY: Mena Abdul-Ahad, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: LOCATED AT 10839 CARRIAGE DRIVE — MOLINAR DESIGN, INC - A
request for a Hillside Design Review to consider the construction of a new
6,871 square foot two-story single-family residence with an attached 4-car
garage on a 20,724 square foot lot within the Very Low (VL) Residential
District within the Hillside Overlay District and Equestrian Overlay District.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, this project qualifies
for a Class 3 Exemption. APN: 1074-531-09 Hillside Design Review
(DRC2019-00973). (Continued from May 12, 2021 PC Meeting.)
RECOMMENDATION:
• Approve Hillside Design Review DRC2019-00973 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of
Approval with Conditions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes the development of a 6,871 square foot two-story single-family residence with an
attached 4-car garage. On May 12, 2021, the Planning Commission continued the item to May 26, 2021 to allow
staff to research and address the concerns that were brought up by the residents in the vicinity of the project
site.
Based on the comments at the May 12, 2021 public hearing, staff is now returning to the Commission to consider
the entitlement which the Commission did not take action on at the May 12' public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
For a full history of the subject development application, reference the staff report from May 12, 2021 public
hearing which is included with this staff report as Exhibit D.
PROJECT ANALYSIS:
During the May 12, 2021 public hearing, residents on Carriage Drive raised concerns regarding the proposed
project which are listed below. Staff's responses follow each concern:
1. Resident's expressed concerns that the project would need Homeowners Association (HOA) approval.
Staff response: The applicant has provided staff with an approval letter from the HOA approving the
proposed plans. Staff notes that this is being provided for informational purposes only as the City does
not have any ordinance or policy stating that the applicant must submit a letter from the HOA approving
the proposed project.
2. Resident's expressed concerns with the placement of the house and requested the house be set further
south into the property.
Staff response: The proposed residence can't be setback further south into the property because that
will cause the project to not comply with the minimum 60-foot rear yard setback.
3. Resident's expressed concerns regarding building height with some residents stating that the building
will obstruct views.
Staff response: The proposed residence is located in the Hillside Overlay District. The Hillside
Development Standard Section 17.122.020.D.1.e. requires that residences in the Hillside Overlay be
designed to fit within a 30-foot high building envelope. The applicant has illustrated the building envelope
on the proposed plans which demonstrates that the proposed residence is in compliance with this code
section. The proposed residence will have a 30-foot building height. Lastly, staff notes that there is no
view preservation ordinance which would prevent the proposed residence from being constructed as
illustrated in the plan set.
4. Resident's expressed concern that the building size was out of character for the existing neighborhood.
The proposed residence is 6,871 square feet in total (1st and 2nd floor).
Staff response: The floor areas of the existing homes within the vicinity of the proposed development
along Carriage Drive were researched and the square footage is listed below:
Existing Residence Existing Total Built
10827 Carriage Dr 5,887 square feet
10853 Carriage Dr 5,795 square feet
10858 Carriage Dr 6,298 square feet
10826 Carriage Dr 6,058 square feet
10817 Carriage Dr 8,588 square feet
10884 Carriage Dr 10,251 square feet
10871 Carriage Dr 5,211 square feet
The chart above illustrates the different sizes of the existing residences' ranging from 5,211 sf. to 10,251 square
feet. The proposed residence is compatible with the existing sizes along Carriage Drive as the proposed
residence will have a floor area with a total of 6,821 square feet.
5. Staff also notes that at the May 12, 2021 public hearing, a resident noted that there was a discrepancy
in the plan set relative to a pool house which appeared to be located in the rear yard. This discrepancy
has been addressed and the corrected plan set has been included with this report as Exhibit B. Staff
notes that the project will not include the pool house.
CEQA DETERMINATION:
Planning Staff 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 as a Class 3 exemption
under State CEQA Guidelines under CEQA Section 15303 — New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures, which permits the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone. Staff finds that there
is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Director
has reviewed staff's determination of exemption, and based on her own independent judgment, concurs with
staffs determination of exemption.
Page 2of3
CORRESPONDENCE:
Staff received on email correspondence (Exhibit F)from residents at property 10827 Carriage Drive voicing their
concerns of the proposed project. Staff's responses are itemized above.
COUNCIL MISSION /VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
The project fulfills City Council Core Value#7 (Continuous Improvement) by improving the vacant lot with a new
high quality single-family residential unit which meets city requirements and guidelines.

HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRC2019-00973 — MOLINAR DESIGN, INC. - Site plan and
architectural review of a 6,871 square foot two-story single-family residence with an attached 4-
car garage on a 18,924 square foot lot within the Very Low (VL) Residential District within the
Hillside Overlay District and Equestrian Overlay District at 10839 Carriage Drive - APN: 1074-
531-09. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA Section 15303 — New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures.
Site Characteristics: The 18,924 square foot vacant project site is located on the north side of
Carriage Drive. The property dimensions are approximately 89 feet along the north property
line, 191 feet along the east property line, 127 feet along the south property line, and 197 along
the west property line. The downslope lot has an elevation of approximately 220 feet as
measured at the curb face along the north property line to the south property line, for a
maximum grade change of approximately 9 feet from the north to south property lines. The site
is covered in short grasses. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning designations for
the project site and adjacent properties are as follows:

Project Overview: The applicant is requesting to construct a 6,871 square foot two-story, single-
family residence with an attached 840 square foot garage on the project site. The proposed
grading includes up to 9 feet of fill which necessitates that the project be reviewed and approved
by the Planning Commission per Section 17.122.020.G.1.1.
Exhibit C

HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRCDRC2019-00973- MOLINAR DESIGN, INC.
April 6, 2021
Page 2
The proposed residence has a modern Mediterranean style design theme, which includes stone
veneer, smooth trowel stucco finish, rafter tails, clay tile roofing, vinyl windows, and aluminum
balcony railings. The residence was designed to be compliant with the Hillside Design
Guidelines (Section 17.122.020.D.2), including minimizing view obstructions by overbuilding of
the site. The building mass is broken up through the use of multiple wall plane changes and the
incorporation of exterior decks along the north and south elevation.
The proposed 6,874 square foot residence consists of a 3,494 square foot first floor, which
includes the main living area, garage, and a guest suite, and a 3,377 square foot second floor
which consists of four (4) bedrooms and a laundry room. The first and second floor include
decks along the south elevation. The size of the 6,871 square foot residence is in keeping with
homes constructed on Carriage Drive within the vicinity of the project site, which range in size
from 2,000 square feet to 8,500 square feet.
The project complies with the requirements of the Very Low (VL) Residential District as follows:
Development Requirements Proposed
Front Yard 42' +/- 5' 46'-4"
Interior Side Yards 10' / 15' 10' / 15'-9"
Rear Yard 60' 60'
Lot Coverage 25% max 24%
35' (30' limit within the Hillside 30'
Building Height Overlay)
The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District, which seeks to facilitate
appropriate development of hillside areas. The site is a downslope lot with an elevation change
of approximately 9 feet from the north to the south property lines.
The proposed grading design limits earthwork to 500 cubic yards of import, which is necessary
to construct the foundation of the residence. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the
existing grade, with the pad at an elevation of 2,092 feet, in conformance with Hillside Design
Section 17.122.020.D.1.a., to terrace the building to follow the slope.
Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.C. requires that residences in the Hillside Overlay
District be designed to fit within a 30-foot high building envelope. The applicant has provided
north-south and east-west elevations with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with
the 30-foot height requirement.
The maximum permitted retaining wall height is 4 feet within the Hillside Overlay District, with
stepped retaining walls permitted to have a maximum height of 3 feet with a minimum 3 foot
separation between the stepped walls. The applicant is not proposing any retaining walls. If this
changes during construction, the applicant is responsible to submit plans to the Planning
Department showing that no retaining walls are proposed in excess of 4 feet and a minimum 3-
foot separation is between the stepped retaining wall. The project site has existing 6-foot-high
perimeter walls along the east, south and west property lines. The existing perimeter walls are
DRC COMMENTS
HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRCDRC2019-00973- MOLINAR DESIGN, INC.
April 6, 2021
Page 3
in keeping with Hillside Design Guideline Sections 17.122.020.E., which requires that the design
of walls that integrate the materials and colors used of the residence.
The proposed landscaping will be required to comply with Hillside Development Section
17.122.020.F., including the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect slopes from erosion
and planting shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The project is within the
High Fire Hazard Zone and within a wildland-urban interface area. A landscape plan has not
provided at this time. As a Condition of Approval, this plan will be required when grading and
construction plans for the project are submitted to the City for plan check.
Staff Comments
The project conforms with the Development Code and the Hillside Design Standards and
Guidelines and provides a grading design that balances the requirement to reduce cut and fill to
the greatest extent possible and to reduce the height of the structure to limit view obstructions
as seen from the residences to the north. The residence is well-designed and carries the design
theme to all elevations, including providing wall plane articulation. The residence is stepped with
the existing grade which further reduces the overall bulk as seen from Carriage Drive.
Earthwork is limited to 500 cubic yards of export and grading is limited to the area necessary to
construct the residence and open deck area to the south of the residence. The proposed design
does not require Variances or Minor Exceptions.
Major/Secondary Issues: None
Staff Recommendation: Staff requests that the Design Review Committee consider the
design (building architecture, site planning, etc.) of the proposed project and recommend the
selected action below to the Planning Commission:
ORecommend approval of the design of the project as proposed by the applicant.
❑Recommend approval with modifications to the design of the project by incorporating
revisions requested by the Committee. Follow-up review by the Committee is not required. The

E. Building Envelope Analysis: Hillside Development Standard Section 17.122.020.D.1.e. requires that
residences in the Hillside Overlay be designed to fit within a 30-foot high building envelope. The applicant
has provided north-south and east-west elevations with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with
the 30-foot height requirement.
F. Grading: The proposed grading design limits earthwork to 500 cubic yards of import, which is necessary to
construct the foundation of the residence. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the existing grade,
with the pad at an elevation of 2,092 feet, in conformance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.a., to
terrace the building to follow the slope.
G. Retaining walls: The maximum permitted retaining wall height is 4 feet within the Hillside Overlay District,
with stepped retaining walls permitted to have a maximum height of 3 feet with a minimum 3-foot separation
between the stepped walls. The applicant is not proposing any retaining walls. If changes to the wall plan are
found to be necessary during construction, the applicant is responsible to submit plans to the Planning
Department showing that no retaining walls are proposed in excess of 4 feet and a minimum 3-foot separation
is between the stepped retaining wall.
H. Perimeter walls and Fencing: The project site has existing 6-foot-high perimeter walls along the east, south
and west property lines. The existing perimeter walls are in keeping with Hillside Design Guideline Sections
17.122.020.E of the Development Code, which requires that the design of walls that integrate the materials
and colors used of the residence.
I. Landscape: The proposed front yard landscaping is designed to comply with Development Code Section
17.122.020.F., which requires new development to include the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect
slopes from erosion and planting shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The proposed front
landscaping complies with the front yard landscape requirements, including reducing hardscape to less than
50 percent of the front yard area, at least 25 percent landscape and no more than 25 percent decorative
hardscape. The proposed front yard landscaping does not exceed the maximum applied water allowance
(MAWA) which meets the criteria of State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) Section
17.82.020. All vegetation shall be designed and installed in accordance to the guidelines from the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) for sites located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
(VHFHSZ) fire area and is in the designated Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area.
J. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Oaxaca and
Williams) on February 16, 2021. Staff presented the project to members of the Design Review Committee
and members of the Committee recommended approval as presented. The committee stated that the project
was well designed and recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for final
review.

Mena Abdul-Ahad,
We are residents of Rancho Cucamonga currently residing at 10827 Carriage Drive in Haven View Estates. We
received a Notice of Public Hearing regarding the proposal of new construction at 10839 Carriage Dr.
We have lived at 10827 Carriage Drive for 17 years, next to the vacant lot.
We would like to express the following concerns for the requested Hillside Design Review of 10839 Carriage Dr
• Concern that the proposed square footage of 6,871 plus 4 car garage is too large for the size of the lot
and location
• The proposed two-story design will potentially impede the view from our residence and neighboring
residences causing concern for the proposed elevation of the residence. Carriage Drive declines in
elevation therefore each house has been designed with an elevation lower than the next residence.
This allows for each residence to maintain their views. This standard should be followed with this new
construction.
• Request neighbor review of proposed setbacks of the property, including location and height of the
proposed residence, garage, and walls on the lot. If the residence is constructed too far back on the lot,
it will impede our view from our master bedroom and backyard space.
Thank you for presenting our concerns to the Planning Commission.
Sincerely,
Sherie and Alex Garcia

a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.The General Plan Land Use
designation of the project site is Very Low (VL) Residential District. The Very Low (VL) Residential
designation is intended for the development of detached, low-density residences on individual lots.The
General Plan also provides a goal of facilitating sustainable and attractive infill development that
complements surrounding neighborhoods. The project is for the development of a single-family
residence on an existing residential lot that is complementary to the surrounding neighborhood.
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. Section 17.36.010 of the Development Code states
that the Very Low(VL)Residential District is for the development of single-family residential uses with
a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and a maximum residential density of 2 units per gross acre.
The project site is an existing 20,724 square foot vacant lot that was intended for the development of a
single-family residence.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, including building setback, building height, lot coverage, grading limitations and
design. The project complies with the requirements of the Very Low (VL) Residential District, Hillside
Overlay District, and Equestrian Overly District. The required front yard setback is 42 feet (plus or
minus 5 feet),the required side yard setbacks are 10 and 15 feet and the required rear yard setback is
60 feet. The proposed front yard setback is 46 feet,the side yard setbacks are 10 feet and 15 feet,and
the rear yard setback is 60 feet. Lot coverage is 24 percent, well below the maximum permitted lot
coverage of 25 percent. The overall building height is 30 feet which is below the maximum permitted
height limit within the Hillside Overlay District.
d. 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 proposed single-family residence is compatible with the existing residences in the
surrounding area and is not expected to create a detrimental impact on the existing neighborhood.
4. 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.

HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRC2019-00973 — MOLINAR DESIGN, INC. - Site plan and
architectural review of a 6,871 square foot two-story single-family residence with an attached 4-
car garage on a 18,924 square foot lot within the Very Low (VL) Residential District within the
Hillside Overlay District and Equestrian Overlay District at 10839 Carriage Drive - APN: 1074-
531-09. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA Section 15303 — New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures.
Site Characteristics: The 18,924 square foot vacant project site is located on the north side of
Carriage Drive. The property dimensions are approximately 89 feet along the north property
line, 191 feet along the east property line, 127 feet along the south property line, and 197 along
the west property line. The downslope lot has an elevation of approximately 220 feet as
measured at the curb face along the north property line to the south property line, for a
maximum grade change of approximately 9 feet from the north to south property lines. The site
is covered in short grasses. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning designations for
the project site and adjacent properties are as follows:

Project Overview: The applicant is requesting to construct a 6,871 square foot two-story, single-
family residence with an attached 840 square foot garage on the project site. The proposed
grading includes up to 9 feet of fill which necessitates that the project be reviewed and approved
by the Planning Commission per Section 17.122.020.G.1.1.
Exhibit C

The proposed residence has a modern Mediterranean style design theme, which includes stone
veneer, smooth trowel stucco finish, rafter tails, clay tile roofing, vinyl windows, and aluminum
balcony railings. The residence was designed to be compliant with the Hillside Design
Guidelines (Section 17.122.020.D.2), including minimizing view obstructions by overbuilding of
the site. The building mass is broken up through the use of multiple wall plane changes and the
incorporation of exterior decks along the north and south elevation.
The proposed 6,874 square foot residence consists of a 3,494 square foot first floor, which
includes the main living area, garage, and a guest suite, and a 3,377 square foot second floor
which consists of four (4) bedrooms and a laundry room. The first and second floor include
decks along the south elevation. The size of the 6,871 square foot residence is in keeping with
homes constructed on Carriage Drive within the vicinity of the project site, which range in size
from 2,000 square feet to 8,500 square feet.
The project complies with the requirements of the Very Low (VL) Residential District as follows:
Development Requirements Proposed
Front Yard 42' +/- 5' 46'-4"
Interior Side Yards 10' / 15' 10' / 15'-9"
Rear Yard 60' 60'
Lot Coverage 25% max 24%
35' (30' limit within the Hillside 30'
Building Height Overlay)
The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District, which seeks to facilitate
appropriate development of hillside areas. The site is a downslope lot with an elevation change
of approximately 9 feet from the north to the south property lines.
The proposed grading design limits earthwork to 500 cubic yards of import, which is necessary
to construct the foundation of the residence. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the
existing grade, with the pad at an elevation of 2,092 feet, in conformance with Hillside Design
Section 17.122.020.D.1.a., to terrace the building to follow the slope.
Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.C. requires that residences in the Hillside Overlay
District be designed to fit within a 30-foot high building envelope. The applicant has provided
north-south and east-west elevations with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with
the 30-foot height requirement.
The maximum permitted retaining wall height is 4 feet within the Hillside Overlay District, with
stepped retaining walls permitted to have a maximum height of 3 feet with a minimum 3 foot
separation between the stepped walls. The applicant is not proposing any retaining walls. If this
changes during construction, the applicant is responsible to submit plans to the Planning
Department showing that no retaining walls are proposed in excess of 4 feet and a minimum 3-
foot separation is between the stepped retaining wall. The project site has existing 6-foot-high
perimeter walls along the east, south and west property lines. The existing perimeter walls are
DRC COMMENTS
HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRCDRC2019-00973- MOLINAR DESIGN, INC.
April 6, 2021
Page 3
in keeping with Hillside Design Guideline Sections 17.122.020.E., which requires that the design
of walls that integrate the materials and colors used of the residence.
The proposed landscaping will be required to comply with Hillside Development Section
17.122.020.F., including the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect slopes from erosion
and planting shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The project is within the
High Fire Hazard Zone and within a wildland-urban interface area. A landscape plan has not
provided at this time. As a Condition of Approval, this plan will be required when grading and
construction plans for the project are submitted to the City for plan check.
Staff Comments
The project conforms with the Development Code and the Hillside Design Standards and
Guidelines and provides a grading design that balances the requirement to reduce cut and fill to
the greatest extent possible and to reduce the height of the structure to limit view obstructions
as seen from the residences to the north. The residence is well-designed and carries the design

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request to develop a vacant 20,724 square foot lot with a 6,871 square foot two-story single-family residence
with an attached 4-car garage. The modern Mediterranean design is generally compatible with the residential
neighborhood in which it is located. The project is in compliance with the development standards for Very Low
(VL) Residential District, Hillside Overlay and the Equestrian Overlay. Design Review Committee forwarded the
project to Planning Commission without correction on April 6, 2021. Planning commission review is required
because an excess of 5 feet of excavation/fill is proposed pursuant to Development Code Section
17.122.020.G.1.i. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA Section 15303 — New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures, which permits the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone.
BACKGROUND:
The 20,724 square foot vacant project site is located on the north side of Carriage Drive within the Very Low
(VL) Residential District, Hillside Overlay and Equestrian Overlay. The property dimensions are approximately
89 feet along the north property line, 191 feet along the east property line, 127 feet along the south property line,
and 197 along the west property line. The downslope lot has an elevation of approximately 220 feet as measured
at the curb face along the north property line to the south property line, for a maximum grade change of
approximately 9 feet from the north to south property lines. The site is covered in short grasses.

A. Project Overview: The applicant is requesting to construct a 6,871 square foot two-story, single-family
residence with an attached 840 square foot garage on the project site. The proposed grading includes up to
9 feet of fill which necessitates that the project be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission
pursuant to Development Code Section 17.122.020.G.1.1.
B. Architectural and Site Design: The proposed residence has a modern Mediterranean style design theme,
which includes stone veneer, smooth trowel stucco finish, rafter tails, clay tile roofing, vinyl windows, and
aluminum balcony railings. The residence was designed to be compliant with the Hillside Design Guidelines
(Development Code Section 17.122.020.D.2). The building mass is broken up through the use of multiple
wall plane changes and the incorporation of exterior decks along the north and south elevation.
The proposed 6,871 square foot residence consists of a 3,494 square foot first floor, which includes the main
living area, garage, and a guest suite, and a 3,377 square foot second floor which consists of four (4)
bedrooms and a laundry room. The first and second floor include decks along the south elevation. The size
of the 6,871 square foot residence is in keeping with homes constructed on Carriage Drive within the vicinity
of the project site, which range in size from 2,000 square feet to 8,500 square feet.
C. Very Low(VL) Residential District Compliance: The project complies with the following relevant development
standards of the Very Low (VL) Residential District as follows:
Development Requirements Proposed
Front Yard 42' +/- 5' 464"
Interior Side Yards 10' / 15, 10' / 15-9"
Rear Yard 60' 60'
Lot Coverage 25% max 24%
Page 2 of 4
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
01 SO_
Building Height 35' (30' limit within the Hillside Overlay) 30'
D. Hillside Overlay District Compliance: The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District,
which seeks to facilitate appropriate development of hillside areas. The site is a downslope lot with an
elevation change of approximately 9 feet from the north to the south property lines.
E. Building Envelope Analysis: Hillside Development Standard Section 17.122.020.D.1.e. requires that
residences in the Hillside Overlay be designed to fit within a 30-foot high building envelope. The applicant
has provided north-south and east-west elevations with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with
the 30-foot height requirement.
F. Grading: The proposed grading design limits earthwork to 500 cubic yards of import, which is necessary to
construct the foundation of the residence. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the existing grade,
with the pad at an elevation of 2,092 feet, in conformance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.a., to
terrace the building to follow the slope.
G. Retaining walls: The maximum permitted retaining wall height is 4 feet within the Hillside Overlay District,
with stepped retaining walls permitted to have a maximum height of 3 feet with a minimum 3-foot separation
between the stepped walls. The applicant is not proposing any retaining walls. If changes to the wall plan are
found to be necessary during construction, the applicant is responsible to submit plans to the Planning
Department showing that no retaining walls are proposed in excess of 4 feet and a minimum 3-foot separation
is between the stepped retaining wall.
H. Perimeter walls and Fencing: The project site has existing 6-foot-high perimeter walls along the east, south
and west property lines. The existing perimeter walls are in keeping with Hillside Design Guideline Sections
17.122.020.E of the Development Code, which requires that the design of walls that integrate the materials
and colors used of the residence.
I. Landscape: The proposed front yard landscaping is designed to comply with Development Code Section
17.122.020.F., which requires new development to include the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect
slopes from erosion and planting shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The proposed front
landscaping complies with the front yard landscape requirements, including reducing hardscape to less than
50 percent of the front yard area, at least 25 percent landscape and no more than 25 percent decorative
hardscape. The proposed front yard landscaping does not exceed the maximum applied water allowance
(MAWA) which meets the criteria of State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) Section
17.82.020. All vegetation shall be designed and installed in accordance to the guidelines from the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) for sites located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
(VHFHSZ) fire area and is in the designated Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area.
J. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Oaxaca and
Williams) on February 16, 2021. Staff presented the project to members of the Design Review Committee
and members of the Committee recommended approval as presented. The committee stated that the project
was well designed and recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for final
review.

Mena Abdul-Ahad,
We are residents of Rancho Cucamonga currently residing at 10827 Carriage Drive in Haven View Estates. We
received a Notice of Public Hearing regarding the proposal of new construction at 10839 Carriage Dr.
We have lived at 10827 Carriage Drive for 17 years, next to the vacant lot.
We would like to express the following concerns for the requested Hillside Design Review of 10839 Carriage Dr
• Concern that the proposed square footage of 6,871 plus 4 car garage is too large for the size of the lot
and location
• The proposed two-story design will potentially impede the view from our residence and neighboring
residences causing concern for the proposed elevation of the residence. Carriage Drive declines in
elevation therefore each house has been designed with an elevation lower than the next residence.
This allows for each residence to maintain their views. This standard should be followed with this new
construction.
• Request neighbor review of proposed setbacks of the property, including location and height of the
proposed residence, garage, and walls on the lot. If the residence is constructed too far back on the lot,
it will impede our view from our master bedroom and backyard space.
Thank you for presenting our concerns to the Planning Commission.
Sincerely,
Sherie and Alex Garcia

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Anne McIntosh, AICP, Planning Director
INITIATED BY: Jennifer Nakamura, Management Analyst II
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA —
A request to amend Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code to modify administrative procedures, establish
new zoning districts, amend land uses and definitions and create new
development standards for industrial development. This item is exempt from
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the City's CEQA Guidelines under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
This item will be forwarded to City Council for final action. (DRC2021-
00170)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the draft resolution attached hereto as Exhibit C,
recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance to codify the proposed amendment to Title 17
(Development Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code to modify administrative procedures, establish
new zoning districts, amend land uses and definitions, and create new development standards for industrial
development, as shown in Exhibit D to this staff report.
BACKGROUND:
On November 4, 2020, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 976 establishing a moratorium
on new industrial building development on properties in all industrial zones within the "Southeast Industrial
Quadrant" (SEIQ) of the City and within 500 feet of the public right-of-way of a segment of Foothill Boulevard
between Haven Avenue and Milliken Avenue. On December 16, 2020, the City Council extended the Interim
Urgency Ordinance to June 30, 2021.
This interim ordinance was developed as staff observed an increase in the level of development interest in the
SEIQ and along Foothill Boulevard. The SEIQ has been dominated by "legacy" uses and tenants such Ameron
(now redeveloped with a set of industrial buildings by Goodman), Commercial Metals Company (CIVIC), and
Reliant Energy (NRG/GenOn) on significantly large properties. These uses/tenants have been present since
before the City's incorporation in 1977. Similarly, there are multiple smaller properties in the SEIQ developed
with, for example, small manufacturing businesses, storage yards, and non-conforming residences. Many of
these properties are relatively under-developed, i.e. they are not developed to their maximum potential.
Page 1
Overall, there has been limited turnover in the uses/tenants of these properties for new development in the SEIQ.
As previously noted, this had been the case until 2019-2020 when interest in developing within the SEIQ began
to increase to a level that was not anticipated by the City. This level of interest generally has no parallel elsewhere
in the City and planning for it in the SEIQ has been limited. The current Development Code does not adequately
address the unique operational impacts, characteristics, and development constraints of modern industrial
development. In the case of Foothill Boulevard, the Development Code does not account for industrial
development located adjacent to non-industrial development. There are no requirements/regulations that apply
to industrial development, in that context, to address, for example, differences in operational characteristics, the
type and volume of traffic, performance standards related to noise and glare, and design standards for building
size and scale.
Along Foothill Boulevard there are three sets of vacant properties that are relatively small, compared to the
properties in the SEIQ, with areas ranging between 1.75 and 8.2 acres located on the south side of Foothill
Boulevard between Haven Avenue and Milliken Avenue. These properties are surrounded by, for example,
offices, retail stores, and restaurants. Near one of these properties is a church and a hotel.
In light of these concerns, the Council determined that a strategic pause on industrial development in the SEIQ
and along Foothill Boulevard was appropriate and would provide staff time to review our development standards,
consider work being done on the General Plan as well as engage the industrial development community to
understand their needs and find common ground to ensure a robust, diverse industrial sector which can provide
employment and services for local residents and generate positive economic outcomes for the City. The
proposed updates will apply uniformly to all industrial zones throughout the City, not just the areas impacted by
the moratorium.
Since the approval of the interim urgency ordinance, staff has worked with our code consultant, Lisa Wise
Consulting, to evaluate all aspects of industrial building development. This included determining the relevant
topics and trends related to industrial building development, determining what standards needed updating and
review and providing feedback on proposed solutions that meet our need for an economically diverse industrial
sector that provides value to the City and its residents while meeting the goals and policies of the current General
Plan and the key community values of the General Plan Update: Health, Equity and Stewardship.
Staff has also engaged the industrial development community to gather feedback and understanding of the
industrial development sector. Staff has conducted outreach with the City's industrial development and
brokerage community through our monthly zoom meetings beginning in December 2020 to discuss feasible land
use regulations that mitigate impacts caused by industrial development. We have also engaged with interested
stakeholders on an individual level for more nuanced conversations.
On April 28, 2021, staff presented the public draft of the proposed industrial standards to the Planning
Commission for review. The commission asked questions and provided supportive feedback for staff on the
draft code changes. Since the Planning Commission hearing we have continued to have conversations with
industrial stakeholders who have provided feedback on the proposed amendments. A summary of feedback
received and the City's response is provided later in the report.
ANALYSIS:
As part of this code update process, staff analyzed the existing conditions within all industrial zones and the
impacts of existing industrial development throughout the City. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine
what current regulations were relevant and effective in ensuring that the City's vision, goals, and policies for
industrial development are fulfilled. Many, though not all, of the current regulations have been in place since the
1980's. The comprehensive code amendment in 2012 provided a more streamlined land use table for industrial
uses, but most industrial development standards remained in place. The intent of the proposed updates was to
revise review procedures where needed, update development standards consistent with current industrial
development and eliminate any obsolete land use classifications, development standards, and procedures.
Page 2
These amendments will also ensure that the City's requirements/regulations are consistent with current State
laws, Building codes, and Fire codes, and compatible with current and anticipated land uses, economic trends,
architectural considerations, environmental sustainability, social equity, etc. The updated code will provide clarity
for future development by providing clear, updated standards that will be applied to all industrial projects. Below
are some of the key policy revisions included in the public draft code amendment for industrial zoned properties:
Entitlement Processing. Currently, the only entitlement required for most types of industrial development is a
Design Review application. The purpose of the design review application is to evaluate the site plan,
development standards and project design. It does not take into account the proposed uses and activities to
ensure land use compatibility and to mitigate potential impacts or conflicts that could otherwise result from the
proposed use.
The proposed amendments require most new industrial buildings and industrial uses to apply for a Conditional
Use Permit to consider the relationship of the use or project to the surrounding area and the community as a
whole and evaluate the adequacy of services and facilities for the proposed project or use. Most Conditional
Use Permits for industrial projects over 75,000 square feet will be heard by the City Council, with a
recommendation from the Planning Commission. All other Conditional Use Permits will be heard by the Planning
Commission. Smaller, less intensive uses currently subject to our administrative Conditional Use Permit will now
be subject to our new Minor Use Permit process which will continue to be reviewed by the Planning Director.
For these non-industrial uses, there is functionally little change to the entitlement process other than the name
of the entitlement.

Larger industrial buildings are in high demand and can be used for a variety of warehousing and distribution
uses, each with differing levels of infrastructure needed to support the type of use being targeted for the site.
This provides a challenge for planners to develop standards that can be applied uniformly to all industrial
development projects. To allow for some flexibility and individualized review of projects, the Master Plan process
(Section 17.22.020) allows for flexibility for developments beyond conventional zoning regulations to address
special or unique needs or characteristics. All new industrial buildings over 450,000 square feet will be required
to submit for a Master Plan to "plan ahead" and solve any circulation, drainage and neighborhood compatibility
problems that may arise from the development. The approving authority for the Master Plan process will be the
City Council, with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
In addition, staff is proposing the creation of an overlay zone for large warehouses (Large Warehouse Overlay
Zone) to ensure that large warehouses are located in areas of the city with adequate public infrastructure and
away from sensitive receptors who may be impacted by emissions, noise and other impacts generated by the
predominant uses in such buildings. New developments with buildings over 450,000 square feet will be required
to apply for inclusion in the Large Warehouse Overlay Zone. This means that an applicant seeking to develop
a large warehouse of 450,000 square feet or more would apply for a zoning map amendment to apply the overlay
to their project site.
Zoning Districts. The amendments include revisions to the current four industrial zoning districts - Industrial Park
(IP), General Industrial (GI), Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial (MI/HI) and Heavy industrial (HI). Industrial Park
will remain,with GI, MI/HI and HI consolidating into two new zones: Neo Industrial (NI)and Industrial Employment
(IE), consistent with the draft General Plan.

Current Zoning Designation New Zoning Designation

Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial (MI/HI) Industrial Employment (IE)
Heavy Industrial HI Industrial Employment IE
The intent is to continue to permit existing light and general industrial uses while shifting away from heavier
industrial uses that generate significant noise, air quality and odor impacts due to their need for open air storage
and processing of materials to a broad range of similar clean industrial practices and processes that typically
take place indoors.
Neo-Industrial (NI) supports a complementary mix of uses such as, research and development, light and custom
manufacturing, engineering and design services, breweries, and maker spaces, as well as accessory office,
retail and limited residential uses to compliment the primary use; supportive amenities and services; and
convenient transit access. This zoning district encourages light industrial activities with low environmental
impacts and supports the growth of creative industries, incubator businesses, and innovative design and
manufacturing. The zoning district is not intended for conventional industrial business such as
warehousing, distribution/fulfillment centers, and manufacturing.
Industrial Employment (IE) designates areas reserved for manufacturing, warehousing and storage, e-
commerce distribution, light industrial research parks, automobile and vehicle services, and a broad range of
similar clean industrial practices and processes that typically generate more impacts than would be compatible
with office and residential uses. This industrial employment district prohibits non-industrial uses, except for
accessory office and commercial uses (such as restaurants or convenience stores) that support the employees
of the primary industrial use, and on-site caretaker units.
Allowed Land Uses and Definitions. To support the new entitlement procedures and zoning designations,
adjustments were needed to the land use table and land use definitions. Less intensive uses that still need
review for compatibility with the surrounding uses, such as service-oriented uses in an industrial district will be
subject to the Minor Use Permit (Director approval) with other conditionally permitted uses, such as a lumber
yard, will be subject to the Conditional Use Permit process (PC or CC approval).
Older industrial land uses that are typically generators of noise, air quality or odor impacts, or are not job
supporting uses were deleted, new industrial land uses were added, and some industrial land use definitions
were updated to reflect changes in the patterns and intensities of industrial development.
Development Standards. Minor changes to the existing development standards are proposed to provide
additional flexibility in the development envelope to respond to new market trends and help manage impacts of
industrial development. In addition, the number of parking lot trees was reduced to provide better truck access
with less tree damage. For larger industrial buildings, a larger tree size is now required to better match the scale
of the building and provide better screening right away, rather than waiting for smaller trees to grow and mature.

In addition to these development standards, additional design standards were amended or added to the code. These
include building and parking siting to place the most aesthetically pleasing areas of the site nearest to the public right
of way, development of pedestrian connections, public street and intersection standards to ensure adequate
transportation infrastructure to reduce potential traffic impacts and provide public safety access.
Parking. Developing parking standards that apply to all industrial projects is challenging and is unlikely to yield
the best results for many projects. Industrial uses can be quite varied and the specific type of industrial use will
typically drive the parking needed for a development. Many industrial buildings are developed for a speculative
user, rather than built with a tenant or use already committed to the site, creating additional parking uncertainty.
Our code consultant researched cities across the country with similar industrial bases to see if there were any
consistent parking standards for industrial buildings that we could emulate, but standards vary widely with no
common thread between them.
To address concerns about truck queuing and to avoid trucks queuing on City streets or within street medians,
we have added standards requiring trailer parking in loading bays and space for onsite queuing of trucks at a
ratio of 1 queuing space for each dock door. Larger projects will be required to submit a parking management
plan which requires new development to plan for future parking onsite based on the use of the building to
minimize traffic, manage on-site circulation and effectively allocate parking needs for the site.
To provide some flexibility for speculative industrial buildings, a land banking provision has been added to the
code that allows land on site to be set aside for future parking that may not be needed until a tenant is selected
for the building. Then the set aside land can be developed for parking as needed for the tenant.
Sustainability. New industrial buildings will be required to install a solar collector system designed to generate a
minimum of 75% of anticipated electricity demand. This can be achieved through roof mounted solar
infrastructure, solar canopies in parking lots or a combination of the two. In addition, standards for the installation
of electric vehicle parking and charging stations are included for new developments in the Neo-Industrial and
Industrial Employment districts to foster the city's commitment to the stewardship of our resources.
Stakeholder Feedback. Since the release of the public draft code amendments, we have had several meetings
and conversations with stakeholders about the standards. Exhibits A and B contain the written comments
received regarding the draft code standards. Overall, the stakeholders appreciated the flexibility provided
through the master plan process and provided suggestions for changes based on their experience. They also
asked clarifying questions regarding specific language provisions in the code. A summary of the key areas of
discussion are listed below.
1. Master Plan Threshold. It was suggested that minimum square footage threshold for the master plan
requirement be increased from 400,000 to 450,000 based on typical building sizing levels within the
industrial users. That change has been made and incorporated into the revised code amendment.
2. Truck Queuing. Concerns were raised with regard to the need for a 1:1 ratio between dock doors
and truck queuing. Developers felt that number was too high. Examples were provided of other
industrial tenants who required far less on-site queuing, but the stakeholder groups were unable to
provide a different truck queuing standard or any methodology for staff to consider. Staff
recommends leaving the standard as proposed. The code (17.64.060.C) however, allows for
reductions in required parking with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. If continued
conversations with the stakeholder group yield new information that has supports a change to the
truck queuing standards, they may be updated prior to the City Council hearing on this item.
3. Block Network Standards. The design standards for additional roadway infrastructure were of
particular concern in our conversations with the stakeholders. We have shown through our traffic
analysis of the SEIQ that failure to require appropriate infrastructure will prove devastating to the
roadways and intersections within that area of the city. However, the master plan process allows
some flexibility in the nature and design of the future road networks as long as doing so will not cause
a significant impact on public health, safety or welfare.
Page 5
4. Solar Infrastructure. Clarification was requested on the solar infrastructure requirements. There were
concerns about the required roof coverage as well as required solar shade structures. This was an
error in writing the code. The code was rewritten to allow the electrical demand supplied by solar be
provided on the roof or solar shade structures in the parking lot or a combination of the two.
Findings of Fact. Per Section 17.22.040 of the Development Code, amendments to the code may be approved
only when the City Council finds that the Development Code amendment is consistent with the General Plan
goals, policies, and implementation programs.
General Plan Policy LU-3.3 recognizes the need for regional serving land uses, like industrial uses need
immediate access to the regional transportation network that is designed to provide maximum access capabilities
and permit maximum dispersal of traffic. General Plan Land Use Goal CM-5 and Policy CM-5.2 require new
developments to evaluate and when needed provide necessary transportation infrastructure to mitigate for
transportation impacts.
General Plan Land Use Goal CM-7 supports the maintenance of an efficient and safe network of good and freight
movement that supports the needs of the business community. The block networks standards proposed provide
guidance to new development with some flexibility with the master plan process to develop a transportation
network that will not only support individual development, but provide efficient, safe transportation infrastructure
for a variety of industrial uses.
Finally, General Plan Land Use Policy LU-3.4 promotes development that is sustainable in its use of land and
limits impacts to natural resources, energy, and air and water quality. Solar power generation standards and EV
charging stations and infrastructure help encourage clean energy use and help reduce environmental impacts
related to industrial development.
Environmental Analysis. The 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. This project
qualifies under the general rule that CEQA only applies to project, which have the potential for causing significant
effect on the environment. Pursuant to State CEQA guidelines Section 15061(13)(3), where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,
the activity is not subject to CEQA.
The consolidation of zoning districts, changes to the entitlement process and the elimination of higher impact
industrial uses from the land use table will impose greater limitations on industrial development than exist today
and will thereby serve to eliminate potentially significant adverse environmental impacts.
The implementation of requirements for solar collector systems for new industrial development will provide a
renewable electric resource for the development and reduce dependence on non-renewable electric resources.
Requiring development electric vehicle charging infrastructure will encourage use of electric vehicles for
industrial uses, reducing GHG emissions in future developments. These requirements impose greater limitations
on industrial development than exist today and will thereby serve to eliminate potentially significant adverse
environmental impacts.
Each of these components, individually and cumulatively, does not result in the possibility of creating significant
to cumulative effects on the environment. Future development subject to these provisions will be reviewed for
CEQA compliance under separate entitlements or actions as proposed by these code updates. During the
entitlement process, the applicant will be required to comply with CEQA. In reviewing each project for
compliance with CEQA, an applicant may be required to submit environmental studies that analyze potential
impacts such as air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, noise levels, and transportation/traffic
caused by the site-specific project. On a case-by-case review of each project, the appropriate environmental
document will be prepared to address project-specific impacts.
Page 6
Based on this evidence and all the evidence in the record Planning staff has determined that the Amendment
will not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review
under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Developing a robust industrial sector with well planned developments with a sufficient diversity of uses and
appropriate controls will prevent fiscal strains on our tax base and infrastructure costs over the long term.
COUNCIL MISSION /VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This code update directly addresses the Council's vision to build on our success as a world class community by
implanting new development standards that will enhance the overall quality and performance of our industrial
sector.
Through the engagement of stakeholders and learning more about industrial development, and using the
information provided by our stakeholders to guide our decisions on the code updates, we are guided by the
Council's core values of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future, working together cooperatively and
respectfully with each other, staff and all stakeholders, and intentionally embracing and anticipating the future.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
COMMENTS/ SUGGESTIONS TO PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Following are our initial comments and suggestions regarding the proposed Industrial
Development Standards applicable to the Southeast Industrial Quadrant:
1. Building Height and FAR. We believe that removal of limitations on building height and
increase in floor area ratios are positive steps. Regarding building height limitations, the
development/end user community understands that there may be additional constraints
based on proximity to Ontario International Airport.
2. 450,000 Square Feet Master Plan Threshold. We believe that the line of demarcation
between projects not required to prepare a Master Plan and projects required to prepare a
Master Plan should be 450,000 square feet, rather than 400,000 square feet. For the
reasons we discussed, 450,000 square feet is a more logical line of demarcation.
3. Master Plan Flexibility. We believe that the development/end user community will
accept the requirement of a Master Plan for projects in excess of 450,000 square feet,
provided that the Master Plan process provides an avenue to deviate from the general
development standards with satisfactory alternative standards. Because each user will
have particular needs (i.e., reducing building sizes to allow more trailer storage spaces, in
order to reduce trips to remote storage facilities), more passenger car parking spaces
(depending on the nature of the operation) and less landscape coverage (i.e., to
accommodate parking lot solar and EV charging facilities), flexibility is the best way to
attract desirable users to the City.
Inflexibility regarding street frontages on three sides of each building would be
problematic, because it would constrain the placement of loading docks. Block network
parameters and proximity of streets to railroad lines would similarly constrain site
planning (i.e., the utility of a site adjacent to a railroad track would be diminished by an
inflexible requirement for a street parallel to the track). Nevertheless, the
development/end user community understands that it is appropriate for them to have the
burden of proving to the City that each alternative industrial development standard is
justified based on technical analysis.
Requirements for vehicle parking, truck parking, trailer storage and onsite circulation
should be determined using a Parking Demand Management Plan that is prepared in
connection with each Master Plan. This requirement will promote parking strategies that
are tailored to the user, with a focus on avoidance of truck queuing and the storage of
trucks and trailers on City streets. This requirement will also promote designs that will
be conducive to the safety of the occupants of the site once the user is identified (in
relationship to shift changes and other events).
Exhibit A I
C1311-000--4077444.1
DRAFT
As we discussed, end users are often not identified until the project is entitled or even in
the early phases of construction. Accordingly, we suggest that the Master Plan process
include an administrative minor revision process, so the requirements of the user can be
accommodated in an efficient manner once the user has been identified.
If the conditional use permit that is brought forward with the Master Plan contains the
same flexibility, the development/end user community will accept it.
4. Alternative Enemy. While the development/end user community will accept mandatory
renewable energy requirements (i.e., solar, EV charging, etc.), it should be recognized
that these requirements are established by the end users and not the developers. End
users have dramatically diverse energy demands needs. Accordingly, we suggest that a
goal for energy offset be established, with the means of offset being left to either the
developer or the end user.
In that regard, we have seen the following language adopted in other jurisdictions:
"Projects will be required to offset their energy demand by at least
percent through the provision of renewable energy. The energy demand
shall be determined at the initial building permit stage, if the end user is
known at that time. If the end user is not known at that time, this
condition should be deferred to the tenant improvement building permit
and to subsequent tenant improvement permits as the end user changes.
Utilizing the energy demand calculated, the appropriate amount of
renewable energy must be included with the related building permits.
Related to the initial building permit, the roof must be designed to
accommodate rooftop mounted solar panels, whether or not solar panels
are utilized to offset the energy demand."
5. Data Needs. Similar to alternative energy, data needs are established by the end users
and not the developers. Accordingly, we suggest that each project include the conduit
sufficient to accommodate the needs of a variety of end users.
6. Corridors. We discussed the need for an east-west corridor and a north-south corridor.
These corridors will be expensive and will take significant time to plan and execute, due
to conflicts with railroad facilities, utility-owned land and recently developed land. As
you know, railroads and utility providers have the power of condemnation, which will
impede the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way.
We suggest that planning for these corridors start immediately and that the effort be
supported by a community facilities district which includes land within the Southeast
Industrial Quadrant, as well as within other areas that benefit from the corridors and that
a bond be sized and issued that would cover the cost of construction.
2
C1311-000--4077444.1
DRAFT
We also suggest that pending projects be allowed to proceed before the corridors are
executed, subject to the projects demonstrating through the California Environmental
Quality Act process that their traffic impacts can be acceptably mitigated. Otherwise,
development(along with the corresponding economic benefits to the City and others) will
be delayed and the current market cycle will be missed.
7. Wear and Tear on Roadways. In previous conversations, we discussed wear and tear on
City roadways caused by truck usage. We suggest that a city-wide maintenance
community facilities district be organized to cover that cost on a permanent basis. We
also suggest that maintenance cost be carefully considered before additional streets are
planned.

VARIANCE FROM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Mun. Code,§17.14.060;Table 17.14.060-1,Note 2
(2) A variance from a development standard in the industrial zoning districts requires approval
by the city council, except as approved as part of the master plan process set forth in Municipal
Code sections 17.22.020,et seq.
BLOCK NETWORK PARAMETERS
Mun. Code, §17.36.040(D)(9)(a)(ii)
9. Design standards. The following design standards apply to all new developments in the Neo-
Industrial(NI) and Industrial Employment(IE) Zoning Districts:
ii. Block Network Parameters for Public Streets.
• Intersection spacing along arterial edges shall be between 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile with at
least one mid-block intersection between intersecting arterials and rail, flood control,
utility or freeway corridors.
• Intersection spacing inside arterial/arterial blocks bounded by arterials shall be a
minimum of 200 feet and a maximum of 1,320 feet.
• Buildings greater than 400,000 sq. ft.in size shall have public streets on at least 3 sides.
• A minimum of 1 public street shall run parallel with and within 500 feet of rail
(excluding spurs), flood control, utility, or freeway corridors. The parallel street shall
run through the block. Street crossings at intersecting corridors shall be established on a
case-by-case basis based on feasibility and needs by the City Engineer.
• Intersections along arterials shall be aligned with existing/proposed intersections on the
opposite side of the arterial where possible and meet minimum design standards for
offsets or clearance from adjacent corridors as required by the City Engineer.
• Two distinct points of connection shall be provided through an internal block network
to the arterial street network for every industrial parcel.
• Alterations or deviations from the foregoing standards may be approved by the City
Council as part of the master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000
square feet in gross floor area set forth in Municipal Code sections 17.22.020, et seq.
The additional language in red font above acknowledges the City's flexibility to consider
deviations from the otherwise strict street network parameters required under the new
Development Code Update as part of the holistic master plan process. This will ensure the
City's continuing ability and authority to prioritize street access for public safety and
circulation and mitigation of traffic impacts from new industrial projects on both a project-
level and area-level basis while also providing industrial developers, in collaboration with
City staff and subject to ultimate City Council approval a mechanism to obtain relief from
some of these standards as related to a particular project.

In the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) Zoning Districts a solar collector
system for the purposes of generating a minimum of 75 percent of the anticipated electricity
demand for the use and a minimum of 75 percent of the demand for heating water must be
provided on all new industrial developments. If roof mounted, the solar systems must cover a
minimum of 80 percent of the roof area of all buildings and structures and be designed to be
within 22.5 degrees east or west of true south to ensure maximum efficiency for the solar energy
system. Solar collectors may also be installed on support structures that provide shade over
parking areas (See section 17.56.060.N.1.b (Exceptions for solar collectors)).
The requirement for 80 percent solar coverage of roof area for all new industrial projects is
not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and is greater than necessary to provide even
100 percent electrical demand for a proposed industrial building; however, stakeholders
support incorporating some form of renewable requirement for new projects.
Mun. Code,§17.36.040(1))(9)(a)(iiI)
Surface parking stalls for employees and guests shall incorporate shade structures that are
capable of supporting solar/photovoltaic array systems with a minimum clearance height of 12
feet.A minimum of 50 percent of the required parking stalls shall include these shade structures
for this purpose.
The requirement for shade structures that can support solar array systems for fifty percent
(50%) of parking stalls for all new industrial projects is not feasible; however, stakeholders
support incorporating some form of solar capability for parking shade structures.
Mun. Code,§17.36.040
8.c The visibility of any equipment from the public right-of-way shall be determined by"line-of
sight" and measured from a point that is 6 feet above the finished surface of the centerline of the
adjacent public right-of-way,e.g. street.
9.a.i Sites shall have internal sidewalks where possible that connect to sidewalks along public
streets to create pedestrian connections.
a.iii Surface parking stalls for employees and guests shall incorporate shade structures where
possible that are capable of supporting solar/photovoltaic array systems with a minimum
clearance height of 12 feet. A minimum of 25 percent of the required parking stalls shall include
these shade structures for this purpose or a 50 percentage shading through landscaping with
equal solar photovoltaic on the roof
b. iv For office portions of principle buildings,window and door openings must comprise at
least 60 percent of the total area of exterior walls facing a public street of the defined office wall
area.
Additional Solar Comments:
Net Metered Interconnection - the electrical generation is consumed on site, so future tenant(s)
would be the offtaker.
Grid Offtake - electricity would be sold into the wholesale market
A typical industrial building would only justify a -2.2 MW system, which would only use <15% of
the roof.
• We've historically thought of warehouse space to utilize around 3.5kWh/sq ft annually.
This number may actually be high, given the required volume of natural daylighting
required in CA, and also with the lower lighting power density required using LED
fixtures. I can dig deeper here, but assuming 3.5kWh/sq ft, this warehouse would utilize
-3,500,OOOkWh per year.
o Assuming an annual yield of 1,600kWh/kW-DC installed, this would require a
2,188kW-DC (or 2.188MW-DC)PV system to meet 100% of the annual demand.
o Using a conventionally racked rooftop mounting system, we're averaging around
15watts-DC/sq ft for rooftop construction. Using this number, we'd need 145,866
sq ft of rooftop to achieve this system size. 145,866/1,028,994 = 14.17% of the
roof
Regarding the system orientation, a system facing more East/West rather than South will make
better economic sense for not just the solar developer/owner, but also to the grid as a whole.
This would generate more kWh in the early/later hours, as compared to maximizing peak
production at twelve noon, which exacerbates the "duck curve" overproduction issue that
California is experiencing. PV generation is actually being curtailed in California as a result of
the due South orientation of legacy PV systems. While it is true that systems oriented to the
South will produce the most energy, East-West systems are often deployed to provide for a
smoother production curve, which can be beneficial to not only the end use, but to the utility.
Solar modules attached directly to carport "decks" are less efficient due to the heat from the
back of modules.
TRAILER STORAGE AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL USES
Mun. Code,§17.64.100(C)
Required loading spaces for industrial uses. Except as approved by the City Council as part of the
master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor area,
all industrial uses shall provide a minimum of one loading space per proposed loading bay. For
each loading bay proposed, a minimum of one on-site truck queuing space must be provided.
Each on-site truck queuing space shall be a minimum of nine feet in width and 65 feet in length
and shall be included on the circulation management plan if required by the approving
authority. The truck queuing spaces shall be grouped together in a designated area with clear
access to loading bays." (Mun. Code, § 17.64.100(C).)
The requirement for one loading space per proposed loading bay for all new industrial
projects is not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and does not support how
modern industrial buildings function from an operational standpoint. In lieu of this
requirement, stakeholders propose the addition of language providing for the
reduction/relaxation of this standard as part of the City's master plan process for large-scale
industrial buildings (see red font above).
The City should identify specific uses that generate extraordinary tractor trailer volume such
as cold storage facilities and fulfillment centers. These facilities should demonstrate the
required trailer parking spaces and truck queuing. These industrial users typically purchase
adjoining or nearby parcels to provide the necessary trailer parking. To require all industrial
buildings to comply with the worst case scenario is not economically feasible.
Mun. Code,§17.64.100(D)(4)
Trailer parking required. Except as approved by the City Council as part of the master plan
process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor area, one parking
space of parking for a trailer is required for each loading dock door. The minimum dimensions
of a single trailer parking space is 50 feet in length, 14 feet in width, and 14 feet in vertical
clearance. Trailer parking spaces shall be located in a designated area located away from the
loading bays and paths of travel. All trailer parking areas must be screened according to the
provisions of section 17.48.050 (Requirements by land use type) for industrial areas.
The requirement for one trailer parking space per proposed loading dock door for all new
industrial projects is not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and does not support
how modern industrial buildings function from an operational standpoint. In lieu of this
requirement, stakeholders propose the addition of language providing for the
reduction/relaxation of this standard as part of the City's master plan process for large-scale
industrial buildings (see red font above).
Mun. Code,§17.64.120(D)
Electric vehicles in Industrial Zoning Districts. Except as approved by the City Council as part of
the master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor
area, a minimum of 10 percent of required parking in all new developments within the
Industrial Zoning Districts for employees and guests shall be reserved for electric vehicles....
One charging station shall be installed for every two spaces dedicated to electric vehicles.
Additionally, charging stations for electric powered trucks may be required as determined by
the approving authority."
The requirement for a minimum of 10 percent of parking for all new industrial projects to be
reserved for electric vehicles and one charging station for every two electric vehicle stalls is
not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and does not support how modern industrial
buildings function from an operational standpoint. In lieu of this requirement, stakeholders
propose the addition of language providing for the reduction/relaxation of this standard as
part of the City's master plan process for large-scale industrial buildings (see red font above).
The Green Building Code already provides stringent standards for EV parking and charging.
SPECIAL PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS
Mun. Code,§17.56.060(N)(1)
Parking lot landscape. Parking lot landscape includes perimeter planters, abutting parking lots
and drive aisles, tree planting for parking lot shade, and a combination of continuous planting
strips, planting fingers, and parking islands throughout the parking lot. Parking lot landscape
requirements applicable to commercial, industrial, mixed-use, and multi-family residential
parking lots with five or more spaces are listed below:
1. Number of trees required. Trees shall be required at a rate of one tree for every three parking
stalls. At maturity, trees should reach a minimum height and spread of 40 feet so as to form a
shade canopy over parking stalls. Smaller ornamental trees may not be used to satisfy this
requirement.The minimum width for planters containing a parking lot tree is six feet. Tree
selections shall be approved by the planning director.
a. Number of trees required in industrial zoning districts. Except as approved by the City
Council as part of the master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000
square feet in gross floor area, trees shall be required at a rate of one tree for every five
parking stalls within a planter area that is a minimum of 10 feet in width. Tree clusters
may be used subject to approval by the approving authority.
b. Exception for solar collectors. Except as approved by the City Council as part of the
master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor
area, the minimum requirement for trees and shrubs in Industrial Zoning Districts shall
be waived for the portion of a parking area over which photo-voltaic solar collectors are
installed where they also function as shade structures.
The requirement for one tree for very five parking stalls for all new industrial projects is not
feasible. In lieu of this requirement, stakeholders propose alternative language providing
for the reduction/relaxation of this standard as part of the City's master plan process for
large-scale industrial buildings (see red font above).
RESOLUTION NO. 21-37
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2021-00170
TO MODIFY ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES, AMEND LAND
USES AND DEFINITIONS AND CREATE 'NEW DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF
A. Recitals.
1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has prepared Municipal Cade Amendment DRC2021-
001.70, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as"the Application".
2. On May 26, 2021, 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 the Planning Commission during
the above-referenced public hearing on May 26, 2021, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The City Council adopted an Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 976, establishing a
moratorium on new industrial building development on properties in all industrial zones within the
"Southeast Industrial Quadrant" (SEIQ) of the City and within 500 feet of the public right-of-way
of a segment of Foothill Boulevard between Haven Avenue and Milliken Avenue. On December
16, 2020, the City Council,extended the Interim Urgency Ordinance to June30, 2021;
b. This interim ordinance was developed as staff observed an increase in the level
of development interest in the SEIQ and along Foothill Boulevard. The SEIQ has been dominated
by "legacy" uses and tenants on significantly large properties with limited infrastructure.,These
uses/tenants have been present since before the City's incorporation in 1977. Similarly, there are
multiple smaller properties in the SEIQ developed with, for example, small manufacturing
businesses, storage yards, and non-conforming residences. Many of these properties are
relatively under-developed, i.e. they are not developed to their maximum potential;
C. The Council determined that a strategic pause on industrial development in the
SEIQ and along Foothill Boulevard was appropriate and would,provide staff time to review our
development standards, consider work being done on the General Plan as well as engage the
Exhibit C

industrial development community to understand their needs and find common ground to ensure
a robust, diverse industrial sector which can provide employment and services for local residents
and generate positive economic outcomes for the City;
d. The proposed updates will apply uniformly to all industrial zones throughout the
City, not just the areas impacted by the moratorium;
e. The City prepared a set of amendments (the "Amendments"), which is included
as Attachment A to this Resolution and is hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in
full;
f. Development Code Amendment DRC2021-00170 conforms to and does not
conflict with the General Plan, including without limitation, the Land Use Element thereof, and
will provide for development in a manner consistent with the General Plan; and
3. The 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. The project qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects,
which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the
activity is not subject to CEQA. The consolidation of zoning districts, changes to the entitlement
process and the elimination of higher impact industrial uses from the land use table will
impose greater limitations on industrial development than exist today and will thereby
serve to eliminate potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. The implementation
of requirements for solar collector systems for new industrial development will provide a
renewable electric resource for the development and reduce dependence on non-renewable
electric resources. Requiring development electric vehicle charging infrastructure will
encourage use of electric vehicles for industrial uses, reducing GHG emissions in future
developments. These requirements impose greater limitations on industrial development than
exist today and will thereby serve to eliminate potentially significant adverse environmental
impacts. Each of these components, individually and cumulatively, does not result in the
possibility of creating significant to cumulative effects on the environment. Future development
subject to these provisions will be reviewed for CEQA compliance under separate
entitlements or actions as proposed by these code updates. During the entitlement process, the
applicant will be required to comply with CEQA. In reviewing each project for compliance with
CEQA, an applicant may be required to submit environmental studies that analyze potential
impacts such as air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, noise levels, and
transportation/traffic caused by the site-specific project. On a case-by-case review of each
project, the appropriate environmental document will be prepared to address project-specific
impacts. Based on this evidence and all the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the Planning Department staffs determination that the Amendment will not have a
significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review
under CEQA.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Municipal Code Amendment
DRC2021-00170 as indicated in Attachment A incorporated herein by this reference.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

17.14.090 Permit time limits, extensions, and expiration.
A. Time limits. Unless a condition of approval or other provision of this title establishes a different time
limit, any permit not exercised within two years of approval shall expire and become void,
except where an extension of time is approved pursuant to this section.
B. Exercising permits. The exercise of a permit occurs when the property owner has performed
substantial work as determined by the planning director and the building official and incurred
substantial liabilities in good faith reliance upon such permit(s). A permit may be otherwise
exercised pursuant to a condition of the permit or corresponding legal agreement that specifies that
other substantial efforts or expenditures constitutes exercise of the permit. Unless otherwise
provided, permits that have not been exercised prior to a zoning amendment, which would make the
permitted use or structure nonconforming, shall automatically be deemed invalid on the effective
date of the zoning amendment.
C. Permit extensions. The approval of an extension extends the expiration date for two years from the
original permit date. After this initial permit extension, a final one-year extension of time may be
granted pursuant to the same process as set forth in this section.
1. Process. The same approving authority that granted the original permit may extend the period
within which the exercise of a permit must occur. Notice and/or public hearing shall be
provided in the same manner as for the original permit. An application for extension shall be
filed not less than 30 days prior to the expiration date of the permit, along with appropriate fees
and application submittal materials.
2. Conditions. The permit, as extended, may be conditioned to comply with any development
standards that may have been enacted since the permit was initially approved.
3. Permit extension findings. The extension may be granted only when the designated approving
authority finds that the original permit findings can still be made and there are no changed
circumstances or there has been diligent pursuit to exercise the permit that warrants such
extension.
4. Expiration. If the time limits are reached with no extension requested, or a requested extension
is denied or expires, the permit expires.
D. Permit expiration for a closed business. All permits and entitlements shall expire when a business is
closed for more than one calendar year. Approval of new permits and entitlements based on current
requirements shall be required prior to any business activity on the site.

A. Purpose. This section establishes the review procedures for residential, commercial, industrial, and
institutional development proposals to facilitate project review by local responsible agencies and the
development/design review committees in a timely and efficient manner; to ensure that development
projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines, standards, and ordinances; to minimize
adverse effects on surrounding properties and the environment; and to maintain consistency with the
general plan, which promotes high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add to the
physical, economic, and social character of the city.
In addition, the city finds that a design review process will support the implementation of the general
plan, as it stresses quality community design standards.The city further finds that the quality of certain
residential, institutional, commercial, and industrial uses has a substantial impact upon the visual
appeal, environmental soundness, economic stability, and property values of the city. This section is
not intended to restrict imagination, innovation, or variety, but rather to focus on community design
principles which can result in creative imaginative solutions for the project and a quality design for the
city. It is the purpose of this section to:
1. Recognize the interdependence of land values and aesthetics and provide a method by which
the city may implement this interdependence to its benefit.
2. Encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property within the city
along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, and streets.
3. Maintain the public health, safety and general welfare, and property throughout the city.

aesthetics of development.
5. Reasonably ensure that new developments, including residential, institutional, commercial, and
industrial developments, do not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety, or architecturally
related impact upon existing adjoining properties, or the city in general.
6. Implement those sections of the city's general plan that specifically refer to the preservation and
enhancement of the particular character and unique assets of this city and its harmonious
development.
7. Minimize the effects of grading by discouraging mass grading and excessive slopes to ensure
that the natural character of terrain is retained.
8. Preserve significant topographic features, including rock outcroppings, native plant materials,
and natural hydrology, while also encouraging improved drainage from lots directly to a street,
storm drain, or through a public or privately maintained easement.

17.20.060 Conditional use permit
A. Purpose. The purpose of a conditional use permit is to provide a public review process for the
discretionary review of proposed uses and activities that require special consideration to ensure that
their effects are compatible with locational, use, structural, traffic, and/or the characteristics of
neighboring properties and the community. This discretionary review process is intended to ensure
land use compatibility and to mitigate potential impacts or conflicts that could otherwise result from
the proposed use. More specifically, a conditional use permit is intended to:
1. To consider the relationship of the use or project to the surrounding area, neighborhood, and
community as a whole;
2. To determine if the proiect's use and location is compatible with the types of uses that are
normally permitted in the surrounding area;
3. To consider the compatibility of the proposed use with the site's characteristics;
4. To evaluate the adequacy of services and facilities for the proposed use;
5. To provide an opportunitV for public review and comment on the proposed use; and
6. To identify conditions and requirements necessary to comply with the basic purposes of this
Code, the General Plan, and any applicable plans or regulations
B. Applicability. This section applies to any land use requiring a conditional use permit as designated
with a "C" on the allowed use table (Table 17.30.030-1). Any development subject to approval of a
conditional use permit must comply with all applicable requirements of this Section.
C. Application requirements. An application for a conditional use permit shall be filed with the planning
department in a manner prescribed bV the planning director with the required fee as established by
city council resolution.
D. Approving authority. The planning commission is the approving authority for conditional use permits,
except that the approving authority for all industrial buildings with a gross floor area of 75,000 square
feet or greater is the city council. The planning commission may approve, conditionally approve, or
deny a conditional use permit application. In instances when an application for a conditional use permit
is processed concurrently with other land use entitlements requiring action by the city council, the
planning commission shall make a recommendation on the conditional use permit application to the
city council.
F. Findings.The planning commission and city council shall make the following findings before approving
a conditional use permit application:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan,
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the development code and the purposes of
the applicable zoning district as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations/standards.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being proposed,
including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make conduct of the
use undesirable.
4. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use would be compatible
with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including transportation and service
facilities.
5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be incurious to detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially incurious to persons, property, or
improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. The factors to be
considered in making this finding include:

A. Zoning district purpose. Zoning districts are established in order to classify, regulate, designate, and
distribute the uses of land and buildings; to regulate and restrict the height, setbacks and bulk of
buildings; to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces around buildings; and to regulate the
density of population. The city is divided into zoning districts that are grouped into two categories:
(a) base zoning districts and (b) overlay zoning districts. These districts are listed and described in
Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zoning Districts), along with the general plan land use
designation that they implement.
B. Base zoning districts. The base zoning district is the primary zoning district that applies to a
property. Every parcel throughout the city has a base zoning district that establishes the primary
land use type, density, intensity, and site development regulations. Base districts are grouped into
six categories as follows:
1. Residential Zoning Districts.
2. Mixed Use Zoning Districts.
3. Commercial and Office Zoning Districts.
4. Industrial Zoning Districts.
5. Open Space Zoning Districts.
6. Special Purpose Zoning Districts.
C. Overlay zoning districts. The Overlay Zoning Districts supplement base zoning districts for one or
more of the following purposes:
1. To allow more flexibility from the standard provisions of the underlying base zone.
2. To protect unique site features or implement location-specific regulations.
3. To specify a particular standard or guideline for an area.

The following list represents the complete list of allowed uses by land use classification and
corresponding descriptions as used in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements
by Base Zoning District)and throughout this title. For the purpose of this chapter, it is assumed that the
use is the most intensive for traffic and CEQA purposes. Individual use classifications describe one or
more uses having similar characteristics, but do not list every use or activity that may appropriately be
within the classification. Allowed uses are organized into the following seven use categories as follows:
• Residential uses.
• Agriculture and animal-related uses.
• Recreation, resource preservation, open space, education, and public assembly uses.
• Utility, transportation, public facility, and communication uses.
• Retail, service, and office uses.
• Automobile and vehicle uses.
• Industrial, manufacturing, and processing uses.

households living independently of each other, each in a separate dwelling unit, which may be
owned individually or by a single landlord (e.g., apartment, apartment house, townhouse,
condominium).
4. Dwelling, single-family. A building designed exclusively for occupancy by one household on a
single lot. This classification includes manufactured homes (defined in California Health and
Safety Code§18007) and model homes for the first sale of homes within the subdivision.
5. Dwelling, two-family. An attached building (e.g., duplex) designed for occupancy by two
households living independently of each other, where both dwellings are located on a single lot.
For the purposes of this title, this definition also includes halfplexes (two attached units, each

May 2021
B. Shared parking. In order to encourage efficient use of parking spaces and good design practices, the
total parking requirements for conjunctive uses shall be based on the number of spaces adequate to
meet various needs of the individual uses operating during the peak parking period.
1. Conditional uJJse permit for shared parking. A conditional use permit may be approved for
shared parking facilities serving more than one use on a site or serving more than one property.
The conditional use permit may allow for a reduction of the total number of spaces required by
this chapter if the following findings are made:
a. The peak hours of parking demand from all uses do not coincide so that peak demand will
not be greater than the parking provided.
i. The efficiency of parking provided will equal or exceed the level that can be expected
if parking for each use were provided separately.
2. Shared parking agreement. A written agreement between the landowners and in some cases
the city that runs with the land shall be filed, in a form satisfactory to the city attorney, and include:
a. A guarantee that there will be no substantial alteration in the uses that will create a greater
demand for parking without application for approval of an amended conditional use permit.
b. A reciprocal grant of nonexclusive license among the business operator(s) and the
landowner(s)for access to and use of the shared parking facilities.
C. Evidence that the agreement has been recorded in the county recorder's office.
C. Other parking reductions. Required parking for any use except a single-family dwelling, accessory
dwelling unit, or two-family dwelling may be reduced through approval of a minor exception by the
planning director. Required parking may be reduced with approval of a conditional use permit for all
new industrial uses in the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment(IE)Zoning Districts.
1. Criteria for approval.The planning d+restof-approving authority will only grant a minor use permit
or a conditional use permit for reduced parking if it fonds isdetermined that the project meets all
of the minor use permit criteria in section 17.16.120 (Minor use permits) or the conditional use
permit criteria in section 17.20.060 (Conditional use permit), and that three or more of the
circumstances listed below are true.
a. The use will be adequately served by the proposed parking due to the nature of the
proposed operation; proximity to frequent transit service; transportation characteristics of
persons residing, working, or visiting the site; or because the applicant has undertaken a
travel demand management program that will reduce parking demand at the site.
b. Parking demand generated by the project will not exceed the capacity of or have a
detrimental impact on the supply of on-street parking in the surrounding area.
C. The site plan is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district and incorporates
features such as unobtrusive off-street parking placed below the ground level of the project
with commercial uses above or enclosed parking on the ground floor.
d. The applicant has provided on-site parking for car-share vehicles via a recorded written
agreement between the landowner and the city that runs with the land. Agreement shall
provide for proof of a perpetual agreement with a car-share agency to provide at least one
car share vehicle on-site.
2. Application submittal requirements. In order to evaluate a proposed project's compliance with
the above criteria, the planning director may require submittal of a parking demand study that
substantiates the basis for granting a reduced number of spaces.
D. Mixed use parking. All mixed use projects shall include a parking study prepared by a qualified

director of engineering services/city engineer and planning director, and an independent peer review
consultant. The parking study may also include a discussion of the following options for a reduction
of required parking, including, but not limited to:
1. Shared parking may be provided per section 17.64.060 B.
2. State density bonus may be provided per chapter 17.46.
3. Tandem parking may be counted towards the required parking calculation.
4. Implement a parking management strategy that may contain the following provisions, but are not
limited to:
a. Monitored with periodic inspections;
b. Storage within the unit, and not within garage (view windows on garages);
C. HOA to enforce limitation of number of vehicles per unit;
d. Time restriction on guest parking; and
e. Shuttles that cater to users within the development.
5. Implement a car/bicycle share program in which vehicles/bicycles are made available for
shared use to individuals on a short term basis. (Code 1980, § 17.64.060; Ord. No. 855, §4,
2012; Ord. No. 881 §4, 2015; Ord. No. 938 § 9, 2018)
E. Industrial use parking— "land banking".
1. If the final end-user has not been determined for an industrial development for which
entitlements are requested pursuant to the provisions of this Code, and the parking and
loading demand characteristics for the use are unknown, the anticipated maximum amount of
employee, truck, and trailer parking specified in Table 17.64.050-1 (Parking Requirements by
Land Use) shall be determined. In addition, the director may require the submittal of a parking
and loading demand study to be prepared by the applicant or by the city and funded by the
applicant. Such a study shall estimate the parking demand for the likely proposed use(s)
including a worst case scenario based on the recommendations of the Institute of Traffic
Engineers, Urban Land Institute, the American Planning Association, or other acceptable
source of parking demand data for uses and/or combinations of uses of comparable activities,
scale, bulk, area, and location.
2. The applicant shall submit a site plan acceptable to the director showing how all the parking
for employees, trucks, and trailers will be provided on the site in compliance with the
applicable requirements of this chapter. However, if the director determines that not all of the
parking is required for the final proposed use(s), then subject to the provisions of section
17.14.100 (Modification), the excess "land banked" parking may be identified on the approved
site plan and not constructed until such time as the parking is required for a future use(s).
These areas shall be set aside as open space and landscaped in such a manner that they will
not be used for parking. In addition, a binding covenant or other legal agreement in a form
acceptable to the city attorney shall be submitted and signed by the property owner and tenant
guaranteeing that the reserved open space will be constructed for employee, truck or trailer
parking if a change to a more parking-intensive use occurs.
3. The applicant shall conduct a study of actual parking use to be carried out by a qualified
consultant at the time of change of tenancy or within three years after the facility is fully
occupied and the use established or at other such earlier time as deemed necessary by the
director due to observed parking deficiencies or traffic queuing. The parking study shall be
subject to approval by the director. The city may require construction of some or all of the
additional parking if the parking study demonstrates need. If the owner fails to comply, the city
may, but shall not be obligated to, undertake construction of the required additional parking.
Any costs and expenses incurred by the city shall be the responsibility of the owner.

percent of the roof area of all buildings and structures and be designed to be within 22.5 degrees east
of west of true south to ensure maximum efficiency for the solar energy system. Solar collectors may
be installed on support structures that provide shade over parking areas to achieve minimum coverage
requirements (See section 17.56.060.N.1.b (Exceptions for solar collectors)).
C. No person shall allow a tree or shrub to be placed or grown so as to cast a shadow greater than ten
percent of the collector absorption area upon that solar collector surface on the property of another at
any one time between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., provided that this section shall not apply
to specific trees and shrubs which at the time of installation of a solar collector or during the remainder
of that annual solar cycle cast a shadow upon that solar collector.
D. The location of a solar collector is required to comply with the local building and setback regulations
and to be set back not less than five feet from the property line or any easement that is adjacent to
the property line.
E. Developers of all new residential subdivisions shall dedicate easements for the purpose of assuring
that each lot or dwelling unit shall have the right to receive sunlight across adjacent lots or units for
use of a solar energy system. The easements may be contained in a declaration of restrictions for the
subdivision, which shall be recorded concurrently with recordation of the final map or issuance of
permits, whichever shall first occur. The easements shall prohibit the casting of shadows by
vegetation, structures, fixture, or any other object, except for utility wires and similar objects.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
COMMENTS/ SUGGESTIONS TO PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Following are our initial comments and suggestions regarding the proposed Industrial
Development Standards applicable to the Southeast Industrial Quadrant:
1. Building Height and FAR. We believe that removal of limitations on building height and
increase in floor area ratios are positive steps. Regarding building height limitations, the
development/end user community understands that there may be additional constraints
based on proximity to Ontario International Airport.
2. 450,000 Square Feet Master Plan Threshold. We believe that the line of demarcation
between projects not required to prepare a Master Plan and projects required to prepare a
Master Plan should be 450,000 square feet, rather than 400,000 square feet. For the
reasons we discussed, 450,000 square feet is a more logical line of demarcation.
3. Master Plan Flexibility. We believe that the development/end user community will
accept the requirement of a Master Plan for projects in excess of 450,000 square feet,
provided that the Master Plan process provides an avenue to deviate from the general
development standards with satisfactory alternative standards. Because each user will
have particular needs (i.e., reducing building sizes to allow more trailer storage spaces, in
order to reduce trips to remote storage facilities), more passenger car parking spaces
(depending on the nature of the operation) and less landscape coverage (i.e., to
accommodate parking lot solar and EV charging facilities), flexibility is the best way to
attract desirable users to the City.
Inflexibility regarding street frontages on three sides of each building would be
problematic, because it would constrain the placement of loading docks. Block network
parameters and proximity of streets to railroad lines would similarly constrain site
planning (i.e., the utility of a site adjacent to a railroad track would be diminished by an
inflexible requirement for a street parallel to the track). Nevertheless, the
development/end user community understands that it is appropriate for them to have the
burden of proving to the City that each alternative industrial development standard is
justified based on technical analysis.
Requirements for vehicle parking, truck parking, trailer storage and onsite circulation
should be determined using a Parking Demand Management Plan that is prepared in
connection with each Master Plan. This requirement will promote parking strategies that
are tailored to the user, with a focus on avoidance of truck queuing and the storage of
trucks and trailers on City streets. This requirement will also promote designs that will
be conducive to the safety of the occupants of the site once the user is identified (in
relationship to shift changes and other events).
Exhibit A I
C1311-000--4077444.1
DRAFT
As we discussed, end users are often not identified until the project is entitled or even in
the early phases of construction. Accordingly, we suggest that the Master Plan process
include an administrative minor revision process, so the requirements of the user can be
accommodated in an efficient manner once the user has been identified.
If the conditional use permit that is brought forward with the Master Plan contains the
same flexibility, the development/end user community will accept it.
4. Alternative Enemy. While the development/end user community will accept mandatory
renewable energy requirements (i.e., solar, EV charging, etc.), it should be recognized
that these requirements are established by the end users and not the developers. End
users have dramatically diverse energy demands needs. Accordingly, we suggest that a
goal for energy offset be established, with the means of offset being left to either the
developer or the end user.
In that regard, we have seen the following language adopted in other jurisdictions:
"Projects will be required to offset their energy demand by at least
percent through the provision of renewable energy. The energy demand
shall be determined at the initial building permit stage, if the end user is
known at that time. If the end user is not known at that time, this
condition should be deferred to the tenant improvement building permit
and to subsequent tenant improvement permits as the end user changes.
Utilizing the energy demand calculated, the appropriate amount of
renewable energy must be included with the related building permits.
Related to the initial building permit, the roof must be designed to
accommodate rooftop mounted solar panels, whether or not solar panels
are utilized to offset the energy demand."
5. Data Needs. Similar to alternative energy, data needs are established by the end users
and not the developers. Accordingly, we suggest that each project include the conduit
sufficient to accommodate the needs of a variety of end users.
6. Corridors. We discussed the need for an east-west corridor and a north-south corridor.
These corridors will be expensive and will take significant time to plan and execute, due
to conflicts with railroad facilities, utility-owned land and recently developed land. As
you know, railroads and utility providers have the power of condemnation, which will
impede the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way.
We suggest that planning for these corridors start immediately and that the effort be
supported by a community facilities district which includes land within the Southeast
Industrial Quadrant, as well as within other areas that benefit from the corridors and that
a bond be sized and issued that would cover the cost of construction.

DRAFT
We also suggest that pending projects be allowed to proceed before the corridors are
executed, subject to the projects demonstrating through the California Environmental
Quality Act process that their traffic impacts can be acceptably mitigated. Otherwise,
development(along with the corresponding economic benefits to the City and others) will
be delayed and the current market cycle will be missed.
7. Wear and Tear on Roadways. In previous conversations, we discussed wear and tear on
City roadways caused by truck usage. We suggest that a city-wide maintenance
community facilities district be organized to cover that cost on a permanent basis. We
also suggest that maintenance cost be carefully considered before additional streets are
planned.

VARIANCE FROM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Mun. Code,§17.14.060;Table 17.14.060-1,Note 2
(2) A variance from a development standard in the industrial zoning districts requires approval
by the city council, except as approved as part of the master plan process set forth in Municipal
Code sections 17.22.020,et seq.
BLOCK NETWORK PARAMETERS
Mun. Code, §17.36.040(D)(9)(a)(ii)
9. Design standards. The following design standards apply to all new developments in the Neo-
Industrial(NI) and Industrial Employment(IE) Zoning Districts:
ii. Block Network Parameters for Public Streets.
• Intersection spacing along arterial edges shall be between 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile with at
least one mid-block intersection between intersecting arterials and rail, flood control,
utility or freeway corridors.
• Intersection spacing inside arterial/arterial blocks bounded by arterials shall be a
minimum of 200 feet and a maximum of 1,320 feet.
• Buildings greater than 400,000 sq. ft.in size shall have public streets on at least 3 sides.
• A minimum of 1 public street shall run parallel with and within 500 feet of rail
(excluding spurs), flood control, utility, or freeway corridors. The parallel street shall
run through the block. Street crossings at intersecting corridors shall be established on a
case-by-case basis based on feasibility and needs by the City Engineer.
• Intersections along arterials shall be aligned with existing/proposed intersections on the
opposite side of the arterial where possible and meet minimum design standards for
offsets or clearance from adjacent corridors as required by the City Engineer.
• Two distinct points of connection shall be provided through an internal block network
to the arterial street network for every industrial parcel.
• Alterations or deviations from the foregoing standards may be approved by the City
Council as part of the master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000
square feet in gross floor area set forth in Municipal Code sections 17.22.020, et seq.
The additional language in red font above acknowledges the City's flexibility to consider
deviations from the otherwise strict street network parameters required under the new
Development Code Update as part of the holistic master plan process. This will ensure the
City's continuing ability and authority to prioritize street access for public safety and
circulation and mitigation of traffic impacts from new industrial projects on both a project-
level and area-level basis while also providing industrial developers, in collaboration with
City staff and subject to ultimate City Council approval a mechanism to obtain relief from
some of these standards as related to a particular project.
SOLAR COLLECTOR SYSTEM AND SHADE STRUCTURE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Mun. Code,§17.76.020(B)
In the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment (IE) Zoning Districts a solar collector
system for the purposes of generating a minimum of 75 percent of the anticipated electricity
demand for the use and a minimum of 75 percent of the demand for heating water must be
provided on all new industrial developments. If roof mounted, the solar systems must cover a
minimum of 80 percent of the roof area of all buildings and structures and be designed to be
within 22.5 degrees east or west of true south to ensure maximum efficiency for the solar energy
system. Solar collectors may also be installed on support structures that provide shade over
parking areas (See section 17.56.060.N.1.b (Exceptions for solar collectors)).
The requirement for 80 percent solar coverage of roof area for all new industrial projects is
not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and is greater than necessary to provide even
100 percent electrical demand for a proposed industrial building; however, stakeholders
support incorporating some form of renewable requirement for new projects.
Mun. Code,§17.36.040(1))(9)(a)(iiI)
Surface parking stalls for employees and guests shall incorporate shade structures that are
capable of supporting solar/photovoltaic array systems with a minimum clearance height of 12
feet.A minimum of 50 percent of the required parking stalls shall include these shade structures
for this purpose.
The requirement for shade structures that can support solar array systems for fifty percent
(50%) of parking stalls for all new industrial projects is not feasible; however, stakeholders
support incorporating some form of solar capability for parking shade structures.
Mun. Code,§17.36.040
8.c The visibility of any equipment from the public right-of-way shall be determined by"line-of
sight" and measured from a point that is 6 feet above the finished surface of the centerline of the
adjacent public right-of-way,e.g. street.
9.a.i Sites shall have internal sidewalks where possible that connect to sidewalks along public
streets to create pedestrian connections.
a.iii Surface parking stalls for employees and guests shall incorporate shade structures where
possible that are capable of supporting solar/photovoltaic array systems with a minimum
clearance height of 12 feet. A minimum of 25 percent of the required parking stalls shall include
these shade structures for this purpose or a 50 percentage shading through landscaping with
equal solar photovoltaic on the roof
b. iv For office portions of principle buildings,window and door openings must comprise at
least 60 percent of the total area of exterior walls facing a public street of the defined office wall
area.
Additional Solar Comments:
Net Metered Interconnection - the electrical generation is consumed on site, so future tenant(s)
would be the offtaker.
Grid Offtake - electricity would be sold into the wholesale market
A typical industrial building would only justify a -2.2 MW system, which would only use <15% of
the roof.
• We've historically thought of warehouse space to utilize around 3.5kWh/sq ft annually.
This number may actually be high, given the required volume of natural daylighting
required in CA, and also with the lower lighting power density required using LED
fixtures. I can dig deeper here, but assuming 3.5kWh/sq ft, this warehouse would utilize
-3,500,OOOkWh per year.
o Assuming an annual yield of 1,600kWh/kW-DC installed, this would require a
2,188kW-DC (or 2.188MW-DC)PV system to meet 100% of the annual demand.
o Using a conventionally racked rooftop mounting system, we're averaging around
15watts-DC/sq ft for rooftop construction. Using this number, we'd need 145,866
sq ft of rooftop to achieve this system size. 145,866/1,028,994 = 14.17% of the
roof
Regarding the system orientation, a system facing more East/West rather than South will make
better economic sense for not just the solar developer/owner, but also to the grid as a whole.
This would generate more kWh in the early/later hours, as compared to maximizing peak
production at twelve noon, which exacerbates the "duck curve" overproduction issue that
California is experiencing. PV generation is actually being curtailed in California as a result of
the due South orientation of legacy PV systems. While it is true that systems oriented to the
South will produce the most energy, East-West systems are often deployed to provide for a
smoother production curve, which can be beneficial to not only the end use, but to the utility.
Solar modules attached directly to carport "decks" are less efficient due to the heat from the
back of modules.
TRAILER STORAGE AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL USES
Mun. Code,§17.64.100(C)
Required loading spaces for industrial uses. Except as approved by the City Council as part of the
master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor area,
all industrial uses shall provide a minimum of one loading space per proposed loading bay. For
each loading bay proposed, a minimum of one on-site truck queuing space must be provided.
Each on-site truck queuing space shall be a minimum of nine feet in width and 65 feet in length
and shall be included on the circulation management plan if required by the approving
authority. The truck queuing spaces shall be grouped together in a designated area with clear
access to loading bays." (Mun. Code, § 17.64.100(C).)
The requirement for one loading space per proposed loading bay for all new industrial
projects is not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and does not support how
modern industrial buildings function from an operational standpoint. In lieu of this
requirement, stakeholders propose the addition of language providing for the
reduction/relaxation of this standard as part of the City's master plan process for large-scale
industrial buildings (see red font above).
The City should identify specific uses that generate extraordinary tractor trailer volume such
as cold storage facilities and fulfillment centers. These facilities should demonstrate the
required trailer parking spaces and truck queuing. These industrial users typically purchase
adjoining or nearby parcels to provide the necessary trailer parking. To require all industrial
buildings to comply with the worst case scenario is not economically feasible.
Mun. Code,§17.64.100(D)(4)
Trailer parking required. Except as approved by the City Council as part of the master plan
process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor area, one parking
space of parking for a trailer is required for each loading dock door. The minimum dimensions
of a single trailer parking space is 50 feet in length, 14 feet in width, and 14 feet in vertical
clearance. Trailer parking spaces shall be located in a designated area located away from the
loading bays and paths of travel. All trailer parking areas must be screened according to the
provisions of section 17.48.050 (Requirements by land use type) for industrial areas.
The requirement for one trailer parking space per proposed loading dock door for all new
industrial projects is not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and does not support
how modern industrial buildings function from an operational standpoint. In lieu of this
requirement, stakeholders propose the addition of language providing for the
reduction/relaxation of this standard as part of the City's master plan process for large-scale
industrial buildings (see red font above).
Mun. Code,§17.64.120(D)
Electric vehicles in Industrial Zoning Districts. Except as approved by the City Council as part of
the master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor
area, a minimum of 10 percent of required parking in all new developments within the
Industrial Zoning Districts for employees and guests shall be reserved for electric vehicles....
One charging station shall be installed for every two spaces dedicated to electric vehicles.
Additionally, charging stations for electric powered trucks may be required as determined by
the approving authority."
The requirement for a minimum of 10 percent of parking for all new industrial projects to be
reserved for electric vehicles and one charging station for every two electric vehicle stalls is
not feasible due to fundamental site constraints and does not support how modern industrial
buildings function from an operational standpoint. In lieu of this requirement, stakeholders
propose the addition of language providing for the reduction/relaxation of this standard as
part of the City's master plan process for large-scale industrial buildings (see red font above).
The Green Building Code already provides stringent standards for EV parking and charging.
SPECIAL PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS
Mun. Code,§17.56.060(N)(1)
Parking lot landscape. Parking lot landscape includes perimeter planters, abutting parking lots
and drive aisles, tree planting for parking lot shade, and a combination of continuous planting
strips, planting fingers, and parking islands throughout the parking lot. Parking lot landscape
requirements applicable to commercial, industrial, mixed-use, and multi-family residential
parking lots with five or more spaces are listed below:
1. Number of trees required. Trees shall be required at a rate of one tree for every three parking
stalls. At maturity, trees should reach a minimum height and spread of 40 feet so as to form a
shade canopy over parking stalls. Smaller ornamental trees may not be used to satisfy this
requirement.The minimum width for planters containing a parking lot tree is six feet. Tree
selections shall be approved by the planning director.
a. Number of trees required in industrial zoning districts. Except as approved by the City
Council as part of the master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000
square feet in gross floor area, trees shall be required at a rate of one tree for every five
parking stalls within a planter area that is a minimum of 10 feet in width. Tree clusters
may be used subject to approval by the approving authority.
b. Exception for solar collectors. Except as approved by the City Council as part of the
master plan process for industrial buildings larger than 400,000 square feet in gross floor
area, the minimum requirement for trees and shrubs in Industrial Zoning Districts shall
be waived for the portion of a parking area over which photo-voltaic solar collectors are
installed where they also function as shade structures.
The requirement for one tree for very five parking stalls for all new industrial projects is not
feasible. In lieu of this requirement, stakeholders propose alternative language providing
for the reduction/relaxation of this standard as part of the City's master plan process for
large-scale industrial buildings (see red font above).
RESOLUTION NO. 21-37
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2021-00170
TO MODIFY ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES, AMEND LAND
USES AND DEFINITIONS AND CREATE 'NEW DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF
A. Recitals.
1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has prepared Municipal Cade Amendment DRC2021-
001.70, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as"the Application".
2. On May 26, 2021, 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 the Planning Commission during
the above-referenced public hearing on May 26, 2021, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The City Council adopted an Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 976, establishing a
moratorium on new industrial building development on properties in all industrial zones within the
"Southeast Industrial Quadrant" (SEIQ) of the City and within 500 feet of the public right-of-way
of a segment of Foothill Boulevard between Haven Avenue and Milliken Avenue. On December
16, 2020, the City Council,extended the Interim Urgency Ordinance to June30, 2021;
b. This interim ordinance was developed as staff observed an increase in the level
of development interest in the SEIQ and along Foothill Boulevard. The SEIQ has been dominated
by "legacy" uses and tenants on significantly large properties with limited infrastructure.,These
uses/tenants have been present since before the City's incorporation in 1977. Similarly, there are
multiple smaller properties in the SEIQ developed with, for example, small manufacturing
businesses, storage yards, and non-conforming residences. Many of these properties are
relatively under-developed, i.e. they are not developed to their maximum potential;
C. The Council determined that a strategic pause on industrial development in the
SEIQ and along Foothill Boulevard was appropriate and would,provide staff time to review our
development standards, consider work being done on the General Plan as well as engage the

industrial development community to understand their needs and find common ground to ensure
a robust, diverse industrial sector which can provide employment and services for local residents
and generate positive economic outcomes for the City;
d. The proposed updates will apply uniformly to all industrial zones throughout the
City, not just the areas impacted by the moratorium;
e. The City prepared a set of amendments (the "Amendments"), which is included
as Attachment A to this Resolution and is hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in
full;
f. Development Code Amendment DRC2021-00170 conforms to and does not
conflict with the General Plan, including without limitation, the Land Use Element thereof, and
will provide for development in a manner consistent with the General Plan; and
3. The 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. The project qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects,
which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the
activity is not subject to CEQA. The consolidation of zoning districts, changes to the entitlement
process and the elimination of higher impact industrial uses from the land use table will
impose greater limitations on industrial development than exist today and will thereby
serve to eliminate potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. The implementation
of requirements for solar collector systems for new industrial development will provide a
renewable electric resource for the development and reduce dependence on non-renewable
electric resources. Requiring development electric vehicle charging infrastructure will
encourage use of electric vehicles for industrial uses, reducing GHG emissions in future
developments. These requirements impose greater limitations on industrial development than
exist today and will thereby serve to eliminate potentially significant adverse environmental
impacts. Each of these components, individually and cumulatively, does not result in the
possibility of creating significant to cumulative effects on the environment. Future development
subject to these provisions will be reviewed for CEQA compliance under separate
entitlements or actions as proposed by these code updates. During the entitlement process, the
applicant will be required to comply with CEQA. In reviewing each project for compliance with
CEQA, an applicant may be required to submit environmental studies that analyze potential
impacts such as air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, noise levels, and
transportation/traffic caused by the site-specific project. On a case-by-case review of each
project, the appropriate environmental document will be prepared to address project-specific
impacts. Based on this evidence and all the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the Planning Department staffs determination that the Amendment will not have a
significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review
under CEQA.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Municipal Code Amendment
DRC2021-00170 as indicated in Attachment A incorporated herein by this reference.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

' Conditional use permit approval by the city council is required for all industrial buildings larger than 75,000 square feet in gross
floor area, in which case,the planning commission shall be the recommending body.
2 A variance from a development standard in the industrial zoning districts requires approval by the city council,in which case the
planning commission shall be the recommending body..
3 A master plan is required for all industrial buildings larger than 450,000 square feet in gross floor area.See Section 17.22.020
(Master plan).
17.14.090 Permit time limits, extensions, and expiration.
A. Time limits. Unless a condition of approval or other provision of this title establishes a different time
limit, any permit not exercised within two years of approval shall expire and become void,
except where an extension of time is approved pursuant to this section.
B. Exercising permits. The exercise of a permit occurs when the property owner has performed
substantial work as determined by the planning director and the building official and incurred
substantial liabilities in good faith reliance upon such permit(s). A permit may be otherwise
exercised pursuant to a condition of the permit or corresponding legal agreement that specifies that
other substantial efforts or expenditures constitutes exercise of the permit. Unless otherwise
provided, permits that have not been exercised prior to a zoning amendment, which would make the
permitted use or structure nonconforming, shall automatically be deemed invalid on the effective
date of the zoning amendment.
C. Permit extensions. The approval of an extension extends the expiration date for two years from the
original permit date. After this initial permit extension, a final one-year extension of time may be
granted pursuant to the same process as set forth in this section.
1. Process. The same approving authority that granted the original permit may extend the period
within which the exercise of a permit must occur. Notice and/or public hearing shall be
provided in the same manner as for the original permit. An application for extension shall be
filed not less than 30 days prior to the expiration date of the permit, along with appropriate fees
and application submittal materials.
2. Conditions. The permit, as extended, may be conditioned to comply with any development
standards that may have been enacted since the permit was initially approved.
3. Permit extension findings. The extension may be granted only when the designated approving
authority finds that the original permit findings can still be made and there are no changed
circumstances or there has been diligent pursuit to exercise the permit that warrants such
extension.
4. Expiration. If the time limits are reached with no extension requested, or a requested extension
is denied or expires, the permit expires.
D. Permit expiration for a closed business. All permits and entitlements shall expire when a business is
closed for more than one calendar year. Approval of new permits and entitlements based on current
requirements shall be required prior to any business activity on the site.
17.14.100 Modification.
A. Any person holding a permit granted under this title may request a modification to that permit. For
the purpose of this section, the modification of a permit may include modification of the terms of the

permit itself, project or site design, or the waiver or alteration of conditions imposed in the granting
of the permit.
B. If the planning director determines that a proposed project action is not in substantial conformance
with the original approval, the planning director shall notify the property owner of the requirement to

17.20.060 Conditional use permit
A. Purpose. The purpose of a conditional use permit is to provide a public review process for the
discretionary review of proposed uses and activities that require special consideration to ensure that
their effects are compatible with locational, use, structural, traffic, and/or the characteristics of
neighboring properties and the community. This discretionary review process is intended to ensure
land use compatibility and to mitigate potential impacts or conflicts that could otherwise result from
the proposed use. More specifically, a conditional use permit is intended to:
1. To consider the relationship of the use or project to the surrounding area, neighborhood, and
community as a whole;
2. To determine if the proiect's use and location is compatible with the types of uses that are
normally permitted in the surrounding area;
3. To consider the compatibility of the proposed use with the site's characteristics;
4. To evaluate the adequacy of services and facilities for the proposed use;
5. To provide an opportunitV for public review and comment on the proposed use; and
6. To identify conditions and requirements necessary to comply with the basic purposes of this
Code, the General Plan, and any applicable plans or regulations
B. Applicability. This section applies to any land use requiring a conditional use permit as designated
with a "C" on the allowed use table (Table 17.30.030-1). Any development subject to approval of a
conditional use permit must comply with all applicable requirements of this Section.
C. Application requirements. An application for a conditional use permit shall be filed with the planning
department in a manner prescribed bV the planning director with the required fee as established by
city council resolution.
D. Approving authority. The planning commission is the approving authority for conditional use permits,
except that the approving authority for all industrial buildings with a gross floor area of 75,000 square
feet or greater is the city council. The planning commission may approve, conditionally approve, or
deny a conditional use permit application. In instances when an application for a conditional use permit
is processed concurrently with other land use entitlements requiring action by the city council, the
planning commission shall make a recommendation on the conditional use permit application to the
city council.
F. Findings.The planning commission and city council shall make the following findings before approving
a conditional use permit application:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan,
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the development code and the purposes of
the applicable zoning district as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations/standards.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being proposed,
including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make conduct of the
use undesirable.
4. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use would be compatible
with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including transportation and service
facilities.
5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be incurious to detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially incurious to persons, property, or
improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. The factors to be
considered in making this finding include:
a. Property damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or
illumination caused bV the use;

and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current level of service due to
the use; and
7. Based on the conclusions of a fiscal/economic impact study, including an employment analysis and
a fiscal impact analysis, the proposed use is consistent with the city's economic development
strategic plan and will not create a fiscal hardship to the city.
8. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA).
G. Conditions of approval. The approving authority may impose reasonable conditions of approval to
enable it to make the above findings and to ensure that the use will meet all applicable performance

17.26.020 Zoning districts established.
A. Zoning district purpose. Zoning districts are established in order to classify, regulate, designate, and
distribute the uses of land and buildings; to regulate and restrict the height, setbacks and bulk of
buildings; to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces around buildings; and to regulate the
density of population. The city is divided into zoning districts that are grouped into two categories:
(a) base zoning districts and (b) overlay zoning districts. These districts are listed and described in
Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zoning Districts), along with the general plan land use
designation that they implement.
B. Base zoning districts. The base zoning district is the primary zoning district that applies to a
property. Every parcel throughout the city has a base zoning district that establishes the primary
land use type, density, intensity, and site development regulations. Base districts are grouped into
six categories as follows:
1. Residential Zoning Districts.
2. Mixed Use Zoning Districts.
3. Commercial and Office Zoning Districts.
4. Industrial Zoning Districts.
5. Open Space Zoning Districts.
6. Special Purpose Zoning Districts.
C. Overlay zoning districts. The Overlay Zoning Districts supplement base zoning districts for one or
more of the following purposes:
1. To allow more flexibility from the standard provisions of the underlying base zone.
2. To protect unique site features or implement location-specific regulations.
3. To specify a particular standard or guideline for an area.
D. In the event of a conflict between the regulations of the base zoning district and the Overlay Zoning
District, the provisions of the Overlay Zoning District shall apply.

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT
May 2021
B. Shared parking. In order to encourage efficient use of parking spaces and good design practices, the
total parking requirements for conjunctive uses shall be based on the number of spaces adequate to
meet various needs of the individual uses operating during the peak parking period.
1. Conditional uJJse permit for shared parking. A conditional use permit may be approved for
shared parking facilities serving more than one use on a site or serving more than one property.
The conditional use permit may allow for a reduction of the total number of spaces required by
this chapter if the following findings are made:
a. The peak hours of parking demand from all uses do not coincide so that peak demand will
not be greater than the parking provided.
i. The efficiency of parking provided will equal or exceed the level that can be expected
if parking for each use were provided separately.
2. Shared parking agreement. A written agreement between the landowners and in some cases
the city that runs with the land shall be filed, in a form satisfactory to the city attorney, and include:
a. A guarantee that there will be no substantial alteration in the uses that will create a greater
demand for parking without application for approval of an amended conditional use permit.
b. A reciprocal grant of nonexclusive license among the business operator(s) and the
landowner(s)for access to and use of the shared parking facilities.
C. Evidence that the agreement has been recorded in the county recorder's office.
C. Other parking reductions. Required parking for any use except a single-family dwelling, accessory
dwelling unit, or two-family dwelling may be reduced through approval of a minor exception by the
planning director. Required parking may be reduced with approval of a conditional use permit for all
new industrial uses in the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment(IE)Zoning Districts.
1. Criteria for approval.The planning d+restof-approving authority will only grant a minor use permit
or a conditional use permit for reduced parking if it fonds isdetermined that the project meets all
of the minor use permit criteria in section 17.16.120 (Minor use permits) or the conditional use
permit criteria in section 17.20.060 (Conditional use permit), and that three or more of the
circumstances listed below are true.
a. The use will be adequately served by the proposed parking due to the nature of the
proposed operation; proximity to frequent transit service; transportation characteristics of
persons residing, working, or visiting the site; or because the applicant has undertaken a
travel demand management program that will reduce parking demand at the site.
b. Parking demand generated by the project will not exceed the capacity of or have a
detrimental impact on the supply of on-street parking in the surrounding area.
C. The site plan is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district and incorporates
features such as unobtrusive off-street parking placed below the ground level of the project
with commercial uses above or enclosed parking on the ground floor.
d. The applicant has provided on-site parking for car-share vehicles via a recorded written
agreement between the landowner and the city that runs with the land. Agreement shall
provide for proof of a perpetual agreement with a car-share agency to provide at least one
car share vehicle on-site.
2. Application submittal requirements. In order to evaluate a proposed project's compliance with
the above criteria, the planning director may require submittal of a parking demand study that
substantiates the basis for granting a reduced number of spaces.
D. Mixed use parking. All mixed use projects shall include a parking study prepared by a qualified
traffic/parking consultant that demonstrates how proposed land uses utilize the parking spaces that
are required per section 17.64.050-1. Parking studies are subject to review and acceptance by the
5
PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT
May 2021
director of engineering services/city engineer and planning director, and an independent peer review
consultant. The parking study may also include a discussion of the following options for a reduction
of required parking, including, but not limited to:
1. Shared parking may be provided per section 17.64.060 B.
2. State density bonus may be provided per chapter 17.46.
3. Tandem parking may be counted towards the required parking calculation.
4. Implement a parking management strategy that may contain the following provisions, but are not
limited to:
a. Monitored with periodic inspections;
b. Storage within the unit, and not within garage (view windows on garages);
C. HOA to enforce limitation of number of vehicles per unit;
d. Time restriction on guest parking; and
e. Shuttles that cater to users within the development.
5. Implement a car/bicycle share program in which vehicles/bicycles are made available for
shared use to individuals on a short term basis. (Code 1980, § 17.64.060; Ord. No. 855, §4,
2012; Ord. No. 881 §4, 2015; Ord. No. 938 § 9, 2018)
E. Industrial use parking— "land banking".
1. If the final end-user has not been determined for an industrial development for which
entitlements are requested pursuant to the provisions of this Code, and the parking and
loading demand characteristics for the use are unknown, the anticipated maximum amount of
employee, truck, and trailer parking specified in Table 17.64.050-1 (Parking Requirements by
Land Use) shall be determined. In addition, the director may require the submittal of a parking
and loading demand study to be prepared by the applicant or by the city and funded by the
applicant. Such a study shall estimate the parking demand for the likely proposed use(s)
including a worst case scenario based on the recommendations of the Institute of Traffic
Engineers, Urban Land Institute, the American Planning Association, or other acceptable
source of parking demand data for uses and/or combinations of uses of comparable activities,
scale, bulk, area, and location.
2. The applicant shall submit a site plan acceptable to the director showing how all the parking
for employees, trucks, and trailers will be provided on the site in compliance with the
applicable requirements of this chapter. However, if the director determines that not all of the
parking is required for the final proposed use(s), then subject to the provisions of section
17.14.100 (Modification), the excess "land banked" parking may be identified on the approved
site plan and not constructed until such time as the parking is required for a future use(s).
These areas shall be set aside as open space and landscaped in such a manner that they will
not be used for parking. In addition, a binding covenant or other legal agreement in a form
acceptable to the city attorney shall be submitted and signed by the property owner and tenant
guaranteeing that the reserved open space will be constructed for employee, truck or trailer
parking if a change to a more parking-intensive use occurs.
3. The applicant shall conduct a study of actual parking use to be carried out by a qualified
consultant at the time of change of tenancy or within three years after the facility is fully
occupied and the use established or at other such earlier time as deemed necessary by the
director due to observed parking deficiencies or traffic queuing. The parking study shall be
subject to approval by the director. The city may require construction of some or all of the
additional parking if the parking study demonstrates need. If the owner fails to comply, the city
may, but shall not be obligated to, undertake construction of the required additional parking.
Any costs and expenses incurred by the city shall be the responsibility of the owner.

A. All new residential development projects, except condominium conversions, shall provide for future
passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities (lot size and configuration permitting orientation of
a structure in an east-west alignment for southern exposure or lot size and configuration permitting
orientation of a structure to take advantage of shade or prevailing breezes).
1. Consideration shall be given to local climate, to contour, to lot configuration, and to other design
and improvement requirements.
2. Consideration shall be given to provide the long axis of the majority of individual lots shall be
within 22.5 degrees east or west of true south for adequate exposure for solar energy systems.
B. In the Neo-Industrial (NI) and Industrial Employment OE) Zoning Districts a solar collector system
must be provided on all new industrial developments. Solar collectors must cover a minimum of 75
percent of the roof area of all buildings and structures and be designed to be within 22.5 degrees east
of west of true south to ensure maximum efficiency for the solar energy system. Solar collectors may
be installed on support structures that provide shade over parking areas to achieve minimum coverage
requirements (See section 17.56.060.N.1.b (Exceptions for solar collectors)).
C. No person shall allow a tree or shrub to be placed or grown so as to cast a shadow greater than ten
percent of the collector absorption area upon that solar collector surface on the property of another at
any one time between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., provided that this section shall not apply
to specific trees and shrubs which at the time of installation of a solar collector or during the remainder
of that annual solar cycle cast a shadow upon that solar collector.
D. The location of a solar collector is required to comply with the local building and setback regulations
and to be set back not less than five feet from the property line or any easement that is adjacent to
the property line.
E. Developers of all new residential subdivisions shall dedicate easements for the purpose of assuring
that each lot or dwelling unit shall have the right to receive sunlight across adjacent lots or units for
use of a solar energy system. The easements may be contained in a declaration of restrictions for the
subdivision, which shall be recorded concurrently with recordation of the final map or issuance of
permits, whichever shall first occur. The easements shall prohibit the casting of shadows by
vegetation, structures, fixture, or any other object, except for utility wires and similar objects.
