An Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2020100056) was prepared for the project. Primary Case File No. DRC2020-00202. HPC/PC Regular Meeting MINUTES – September 22, 2021 Page 2 of 5 Draft Sean McPherson, Senior Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and presentation (copy on file). He noted a clerical error on the Resolution for the Tree Removal Permit. It indicates 589 trees and 125 Heritage Trees. It is a total of 589, including the Heritage Trees. Chair Oaxaca asked the Commission if there were any comments for staff on this Public Hearing Item. Commissioner Morales asked about truck queuing issues. If it becomes a problem backing up onto 4th Street, could it be a Condition of Approval on how to manage and direct queuing, so it does not create traffic. Sean McPherson answered the project is exempt from the provision of Ordinance 982, which would require certain projects of this size to include parking management/circulation plans. He said in this case, as the project is exempt, there was no management plan required. What the developer has proposed is a queuing lane off Catherine Bridge Place for proper queuing on site. Commissioner Morales asked if there will be trucking station for electric vehicles on site. Sean McPherson responded the loading areas will be required to be equipped with EV charging ports. Commissioner Oaxaca asked where the crossing on 6th Street will be. Is it relevant to the project. Sean McPherson explained the northern portion of the site borders 6th Street. Currently, there are white gates that block that road, and 6th Street is not complete. He said terms of the Development Agreement require the developer to contribute $1 Million dollars toward its completion and work in good faith with California Public Utilities Commission and the City to assure that segment on 6th Street will be complete. Vice Chair Dopp asked regarding the solar panels to what extent is it going to fulfill electricity demands that we are anticipating. Sean McPherson answered in terms of the project working towards meeting those expectations, the installation of solar is anticipated for this project despite being exempt from Ordinance 982 in order to a reduce greenhouse gas emissions and so forth. Vice Chair Dopp asked about the sales tax that is currently conditioned, we do not get a lot of sales tax revenue from this type of project. Is that correct. Sean McPherson explained the community benefit fee. This project would create certain impacts. For example, it would create jobs that would not be very high-paying, which will exacerbate the jobs-housing imbalance. Also, staff noted that the 1,678 jobs listed in the staff report are construction jobs. It is anticipated that the project will result in approximately 1,470 long-term jobs. In order to anticipate that potential impact and how it might affect affordable housing in the City, the developer has agreed to pay a Community Benefit Fee. Going beyond the notion of sales tax, the community benefit fee could pay toward offsetting impacts now. The applicant/developer also agreed that future tenants would have to purchase equipment to run in the building. Future tenants would have to designate the City as the point of sale of that equipment in order to obtain some sales tax. Vice Chair Dopp asked about the EIR, greenhouse gases, air quality. He said there is a general perception out there when starting a project, anticipating 275 truck stalls, that there is going to be significant emission impact to the Community. Is there a way to reconcile some of the fears people have against the data. HPC/PC Regular Meeting MINUTES – September 22, 2021 Page 3 of 5 Draft Sean McPherson explained one thing that is important to consider is the square footage 2.1 million sq. ft. Worth noting in terms of potential impacts is that the property is currently already improved with a 1.4 million sq. ft. building. In effect, the aggregate increase of sq. footage is not that full 2.1 million sq ft. but rather 750 thousand sq. ft. As a result of the EIR analysis, a whole host of mitigation measures were identified in order to bring the threshold of all impacts, including air quality impact emissions, to acceptable levels. Commissioner Morales mentioned on the development agreement it says it could be extended an additional 9 years for additional payment. He asked to explain why it would be extended an additional 9 years. Nicholas Ghirelli, City Attorney, explained that developers and cities negotiate development agreements because they provide benefits to the city, but they provide best advice to develop under the current ordinances in place at the time the development agreement is entered into. It provides certainty about land use regulations that are applied to the project during the term of the development agreement. A developer will typically want out, along with possible development agreement because it provides uncertainty about what rules will apply to their property and development its uses over that time. That is why the applicant may want to extend the development agreement after that 6th year. With no further discussion from Commissioners, Chair Oaxaca opened public hearing. Heather Crossner, Applicant, presented a PowerPoint slideshow on the Project Overview. Commissioner Morales has concerns about truck queuing. Asked if they had any idea what it would look like. Heather Crossner responded there is one queuing space for every 10 loading docks. They have 275 loading docks, which require 27 queuing spaces. They have way more on site because it’s so large. She said they far exceed queuing requirements. Vice Chair Dopp asked who the tenant might be. Heather Crossner responded they do not have a tenant. Does not happen until after construction. Too early in the process. The following persons commented in favor of the project: Randy Wetman, Samuel Nieto, Desiree Vincente, Bill Quisenberry, Thomas Ruiz, Delshawn McClellon, Oscar Delcid, David Hanson, Sean Silva, Louie Lopez, George Rivera, Zach Strasters. Mark Rush, Resident, expressed environmental concerns. For the record, it is noted that the following correspondences were received after the preparation of the agenda packet and the following general concerns are noted: The actual correspondence should be referred to for details: • Email received from Rudy Zeledon, City of Ontario, Planning Director, requesting a need for a hydrology study and encroachment permit. • Email received from Aiden Marshall, Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo, Notice of Settlement. With no further comments from the Public, Chair Oaxaca closed public hearing. HPC/PC Regular Meeting MINUTES – September 22, 2021 Page 4 of 5 Draft Nicholas Ghirelli, City Attorney, mentioned that in compliance with all the mitigation measures, the EIR, Conditions of Approval, and as required by the Development Agreement, the project will be required to comply with water efficient landscaping. He said the City has a water efficient landscaping ordinance that does require compliance with a particular water budget for the project. Commissioner Morales stated it appears a lot of good work went into this project. It’s good for the city. Expressed he is in support of the project. Vice Chair Dopp mentioned the environment means a lot and that all of our environmental people, who submitted letters, spoke in favor of the project. That really says something. Overall, this is something that will be great for our Community. Commissioner Williams complimented staff for putting this together. She said the design is nicely done and she is eager to see it. In full support of it. Commissioner Guglielmo thanked staff for their diligent report and detail that went into this project. It does make their analysis much easier when seeing a lot of people come out and support a project like this. He really does hope it gets off the ground and is in support of recommending to City Council. Chair Oaxaca stated that with a project like this, “sustainability” takes on a much broader meaning. The support of this project has been expressed to us this evening. He believes when this project is complete, it will be a model what an industrial development should look like in the city moving forward. Motion by Vice Chair Dopp, second by Commissioner Williams to adopt the proposed Resolutions and recommend to City Council for final action; 21-57 General Plan Map Amendment DRC2020-00213; 21- 58 Zoning Map Amendment DRC2020-00267; 21-59 Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20271; 21-60 Design Review DRC2020-00202; 21-61 Tree Removal Permit DRC2020-00266; 21-62 Minor Use Permit DRC2021-00315; 21-63; Development Agreement DRC2021-00180. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0 vote. Recommending to City Council for final action. E. General Business E1. Findings of General Plan Conformity for Real Property Acquisition of Approximately 1.10 Acres Located at the Southwest Corner of San Bernardino Road and Klusman Avenue; APN: 0208-151-24. David Eoff, Senior Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and presentation (copy on file). Chair Oaxaca asked the Commission if there were any comments for staff on this item. Commissioner Guglielmo mentioned this is obviously a very old structure and asked if there is anything that designates it historic or if there are any concerns with the removal for affordable housing. David Eoff answered that the historical analysis of the structure and site will be part of the next step of the process when an application or project is proposed. He said the removal of the structure or restoration of the structure is part of the CEQA analysis when a project is presented. Vice Chair Dopp stated from our presentation of City Council Goals, does this strategic property fall under that specific provision. David Eoff answered yes. HPC/PC Regular Meeting MINUTES – September 22, 2021 Page 5 of 5 Draft Commissioners concur and are in favor of the project.

Time Extension and Tentative Parcel Map. (DRC2021-00300, SUBTPM19557) RECOMMENDATION: • Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Time Extension DRC2021-00300 for Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19557 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval. BACKGROUND On May 10, 2017, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19557 and Minor Design Review DRC2014-00700 to subdivide the subject property into 3 lots. The house products were reviewed by the Design Review Committee on April 18, 2017. No significant issues were identified, and the Committee accepted the proposal. This time extension request is the second request to extend the approval period of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19557 for one (1) year. The original approval of SUBTPM19557 was on May 10, 2017, for a time period of 3 years. The applicant filed a time extension application on August 23, 2021. This will be the final time extension allowed per RCMC Chapter 16.20.100.C. The approvals for the subject tentative parcel map including the proposed time extension are outlined in the table below: Tentative Parcel Map 19557 Approval History Approving Authority Approval/Extension Type Approval Period Approval Date Expiration Date Planning Commission Original Approval 3 Years 05/10/2017 05/10/2020 Planning Commission Time Extension (PC Reso 20-24) 1 Year 04/22/2020 04/22/2021 DATE: October 13, 2021 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Anne McIntosh, AICP, Planning Director INITIATED BY: Mena Abdul-Ahad, Assistant Planner PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TIME EXTENSION DRC2021-00300– W&W LAND DESIGN CONSULTANTS October 13, 2021 Page 2 Assembly Bill 1561 Automatic Extension 6 Months 04/22/2021 10/22/2021 Planning Commission Time Extension DRC2021- 00300 (proposed) 1 Year 10/13/2021 10/13/2022 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The project site is a 42,150 square foot (0.98-acre) parcel in a single-family residential neighborhood located northeast of the intersection of Archibald Avenue and Lemon Avenue at 9757 Liberty Street. The parcel has a linear dimension of approximately 334 feet from north to south and 130.99 feet from east to west. There is currently one single-family residence on the property. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Single-Family Residence Low Residential Low (L) Residential District North Single-Family Residential Low Residential Low (L) Residential District South Single-Family Residential Low Residential Low (L) Residential District East Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District West Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District ANALYSIS: Municipal Code Section 16.20.100 allows for time extensions for parcel maps not to exceed a period or periods of two (2) years. SUBTPM19557 was scheduled to expire on October 22, 2021, and the application to extend SUBTPM19557 was submitted on August 23, 2021. At this time, no changes have occurred to what was previously approved, which involves the subdivision of one (1) lot into three (3) lots and the construction of three (3) new single-family residences. Staff notes that the Minor Design Review allowing the construction of the three new residences is held to a different timeline which does not expire until May 10, 2023. All lots continue to comply with the development standards applicable to the Low (L) Residential Zoning district, as described in the Development Code. A. Conformance with Development Code: Tentative Parcel Map (SUBTPM19557) was designed to meet or exceed all development standards applicable to subdivisions in the Low (L) residential District. The project density is 3.1 dwelling units per acre (2-4 dwelling units per acre permitted). Required lot development standards and the provided lot statistics are as follows: Required Provided Compliant Lot Width 65 Feet Lot 1 = 91 Feet Lot 2 = 100 Feet Lot 3 = 100 Feet Yes PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TIME EXTENSION DRC2021-00300– W&W LAND DESIGN CONSULTANTS October 13, 2021 Page 3 Lot Depth 100 Feet Lot 1 = 134 Feet Lot 2 = 110 Feet Lot 3 = 130.99 Feet Yes Minimum Frontage 40 Feet 40 Feet Yes Minimum Frontage (Flag Lot) 20 Feet 20 Feet (Lots 2 and 3) Yes Minimum Lot Area 7,200 SF 11,492 – 17,355 SF Yes Average Lot Area 8,000 SF 14,050 SF Yes B. Public Art: Tentative Maps are exempt from the requirement to provide public art as outlined in Chapter 17.124 of the Development Code. The future development of the three (3) single-family residences on the subject tentative parcel map will also not be required to fulfill the public art requirement. Public Art is only required when a residential development project proposes to develop four or more dwelling units. C. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff previously determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualified under the Classes 3 and 15 exemptions under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and 15315 (Minor Subdivisions) because the project involves the construction of three (3) single-family residential homes and a subdivision of one (1) parcel into three (3) parcels. It has been determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have significant effects on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent will also be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to this application, the proposed tentative parcel map time extension will further the City Council’s “Core Values” of “continuous improvement” and “building and preserving family-oriented atmosphere” by providing an opportunity for the future development of market rate for-sale residences on the 0.98-acre infill parcel. With this time extension, the site retains the approved entitlement to subdivide the project site into 3 single-family lots, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the objectives of the Development Code. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on September 29, 2021 and notices were mailed to all property owners (143 property owners) within a 660-foot radius of the project site. To date, no comments have been received regarding the project notifications.

The future development of the three (3) single-family residences on the subject tentative parcel map will not be required to fulfill the public art requirement. Public Art is only required when a residential development project proposed to develop four or more dwelling units. C. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff previously 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 qualified under the Classes 3 and 15 exemptions under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and 15315 (Minor Subdivisions) because the project involves the construction of three (3) single-family residential homes and a subdivision of one (1) parcel into three (3) parcels. It has been determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have significant effects on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent will also be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to this application, the proposed tentative parcel map time extension will further the City Council’s 2019 goal of enhancing our premier community status by providing an opportunity for the future development of market rate for-sale residences on the 0.98 acre infill parcel. With this time extension, the site retains the approved entitlement to subdivide the project site into 3 single-family lots, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the objectives of the Development Code. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular legal advertisement in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. To date, no comments have been received regarding the project notifications.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A request to construct a 21,211 square foot industrial building on 2.87 acres of land for a business that maintains hydraulic systems and sells related parts. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue and south of Whittram Avenue. The site is presently developed with four metal buildings (16,488 square feet total) which are occupied by office, retail, and vehicle repair businesses. These buildings will remain with the development of the remainder of the parcel. The parcel is approximately 460 feet from east to west and 270 feet from north to south, with an area of approximately 125,017 square feet (2.87 acres). The right-of-way improvements and utility undergrounding along Etiwanda Avenue have not been completed. The project site is adjacent to an approved grade separation project on Etiwanda Avenue over the existing rail right-of-way that runs on the south side of the project site. The grade separation project is scheduled to commence construction in 2022 and will necessitate the construction of a new access road to the project site from Whittram Avenue that will connect to a stub street under the overpass. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: DATE: October 13, 2021 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Anne McIntosh, AICP, Planning Director INITIATED BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR DRC2021-00166 AND CUP DRC2021-00304 – SERGE BONALDO FOR BERNELL HYDRAULICS October 13, 2021 Page 2 ANALYSIS: A. Project Overview: The applicant proposes developing a 21,221 square foot warehouse distribution building that includes 3,024 square feet used for truck service, 9,111 square feet for production/repair of hydraulic devices, 3,509 square feet of warehouse, 4,472 square feet of combined office on the main floor and within the mezzanine and 1,105 square feet of retail. The front, or primary, elevation of the building will be oriented towards the east property line, which includes the office area and main building entrance. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt-up construction and will be painted multiple shades of gray along with Bernell Hydraulics’ brand/company color – red. Each elevation includes glazing with metal awnings, with building pop-outs on the north and south elevations to provide visual interest. The required 500 square foot employee outdoor eating area will be located along the south side of the building and will include a wood lattice shade cover, multiple dining tables, and a trash receptacle. The building includes four at-grade roll-up doors (no dock-high doors proposed) located on the south side of the building. The site will be accessed by three driveways, two connections to the access road on the north side of the building, and one connection to the access road to the west. Each entrance will also serve all of the existing buildings on the project site and will include decorative paving. The project complies with the development standards for the General Industrial (GI) District (the project was determined to be complete prior to the approval of the new industrial standards (Ordinance 982)), including building and parking setbacks, floor area ratio, and landscape coverage as shown on the following table: Development Standard Required Provided Compliant?

Conditional Use Permit DRC2020-00304: Bernell Hydraulics, the future tenant of the subject building, will maintain hydraulic systems along with the storing and sale of hydraulic parts. Retail sales as part of a warehouse use require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the Neo Industrial (NI) District. Bernell Hydraulics currently has 26 full-time employees at their existing facility in Rancho Cucamonga, which will be relocated to the proposed building. Of the 26 full-time staff members, 4 employees will be dedicated to the sales area. The sales personnel will consist of 2 phone sales and 2 retail salesclerks. The hours of operation for the business will be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., as well as Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The new facility will provide adequate parking for each of the proposed uses, including the retail sales area. C. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Oaxaca, Williams, and Smith) on September 14, 2021 (Exhibit C). The Committee recommended that the project move forward as presented to the Planning Commission for final review and approval. D. Public Art: The project is subject to the public art requirement and will be required to provide public art on the project site with a minimum value of $21,221 or pay an in-lieu fee to the City’s public art fund, equal to the minimum value of art that would otherwise be included in the development project. A condition has been included pursuant to the Development Code Chapter 17.124 that requires the public art requirement to be met prior to occupancy. E. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR DRC2021-00166 AND CUP DRC2021-00304 – SERGE BONALDO FOR BERNELL HYDRAULICS October 13, 2021 Page 4 (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site is General Industrial and Neo Industrial (NI) District, respectively, which permits the development and operation of a warehouse/distribution building of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits, is under five acres, and is surrounded by existing industrial development and City infrastructure. The following are the five environmental factors that need to be analyzed to determine that the project, respectively, qualifies for the Categorical Exemption: a) Traffic: A Trip Generation Assessment (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The project will generate approximately 15 peak hour trips which are well below 50 peak hours trips that would necessitate a Traffic Impact Analysis. b) Noise: A Noise Impact Analysis (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) was prepared for the project. The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds and no mitigation measures were necessary. c) Air Quality: Separate Air Quality and a Green House Gas Analysis (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) were prepared for the project. The analysis determined that emissions associated with the construction and operation of the project would be below South Coast Air Quality Maintenance District (SCAQMD) thresholds for both Air Quality and Green House Gases. d) Water Quality: A Water Quality Control exhibit (Valued Engineering, Inc.; October 2020) was prepared for the project. It was also determined through the review of the project’s preliminary water quality plan that the project would not result in a significant impact related to water quality of the site or surrounding properties. e) Biological: A Habitat Assessment) (ELMT Consulting; June 7, 2021) was prepared for the project site. The project site does not include any natural habitats and is surrounded by development. The Habitat Assessment determined that the project site does not contain drainage features, ponded areas, wetlands, or riparian habitats that would be under the jurisdiction of federal, state, or local agencies. Based on the onsite conditions, the project is not anticipated to result in any impact to federally or State-listed plants or animals listed PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DR DRC2021-00166 AND CUP DRC2021-00304 – SERGE BONALDO FOR BERNELL HYDRAULICS October 13, 2021 Page 5 as endangered or threatened or to any non-listed special-status species. No natural communities will be affected by the project and the project is not within a Habitat Conservation Plan area. The Habitat Assessment does recommend a nesting bird survey prior to grading if vegetation removal takes place during the bird nesting period (February 1 to August 31). A condition of approval has been added to the project requiring the nesting bird survey if grading falls within the nesting bird season. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site is currently assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent will also be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: The project fulfills City Council Core Value #7 (Continuous Improvement) by enhancing an existing industrial site adjacent to an approved grade separation of Etiwanda Avenue, thereby improving the visual aesthetics of a redeveloping industrial area in the City. The proposed industrial building will enhance our “World Class” Status by providing a well-designed building that is complementary to the surrounding land uses and will provide additional employment opportunities for our residents and the region.

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposal is to construct an industrial building of 21,211 square feet. The underlying General Plan designation is General Industrial (GI) District. b. The proposed development is compatible with the existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area. The proposed land uses are consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the community. The zoning of the surrounding properties, except the property to the south, is Neo Industrial (NI) District. The property to the south is zoned Industrial Employment (IE). c. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed development complies with all standards outlined in the Development Code, including building and parking setbacks, average landscape depth, floor area ratio, parking, dock and storage area screening, landscape coverage, site planning, and architecture. d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The potential land uses that would be associated with this project are consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the community. The zoning of the surrounding properties, except the property to the south, is Neo Industrial (NI) District. The property to the south is zoned Industrial Employment (IE). 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. The project qualifies under a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site is General Industrial and Neo Industrial (NI) District, respectively, which permits the development and operation of a warehouse/distribution building of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits, is under five acres, and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the five environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project qualifies for the Categorical Exemption: a) Traffic: A Trip Generation Assessment (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) was PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-64 DR DRC2021-00166 – SERGE BONALDO FOR BERNELL HYDRAULICS October 13, 2021 Page 4 prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The project will generate approximately 15 peak hour trips which are well below 50 peak hours trips that would necessitate a Traffic Impact Analysis. b) Noise: A Noise Impact Analysis (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) was prepared for the project. The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds and no mitigation measures were necessary. c) Air Quality: Separate Air Quality and a Green House Gas Analysis (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) were prepared for the project. The analysis determined that emissions associated with the construction and operation of the project would be below South Coast Air Quality Maintenance District (SCAQMD) thresholds for both Air Quality and Green House Gases. d) Water Quality: A Water Quality Control exhibit (Valued Engineering, Inc.; October 2020) was prepared for the project. It was also determined through the review of the project’s preliminary water quality plan that the project would not result in a significant impact related to water quality of the site or surrounding properties. e) Biological: A Habitat Assessment) (ELMT Consulting; June 7, 2021) was prepared for the project site. The project site does not include any natural habitats and is surrounded by development. The Habitat Assessment determined that the project site does not contain drainage features, ponded areas, wetlands, or riparian habitats that would be under the jurisdiction of federal, state, or local agencies. Based on the onsite conditions, the project is not anticipated to result in any impact to federally or State-listed plants or animals listed as endangered or threatened or to any non-listed special-status species. No natural communities will be affected by the project and the project is not within a Habitat Conservation Plan area. The Habitat Assessment does recommend a nesting bird survey prior to grading if vegetation removal takes place during the bird nesting period (February 1 to August 31). A condition of approval has been added to the project requiring the nesting bird survey if grading falls within the nesting bird season. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff’s determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference. 6.

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, Municipal Code, General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plans or City regulations/standards. Retail sales when related to a warehouse use are permitted within the Neo Industrial (NI) District subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant proposes the sale of hydraulic parts related to the storage and repair of hydraulic equipment. b. The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, and can be conditioned to meet all related performance criteria and development standards. The project site provides adequate parking and access for all of the on-site land uses, including the retail sales. c. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity in which the project is located. The project was designed to meet all applicable Development Code standards, performance criteria, and can be conditioned appropriately to minimize any potential impacts to adjacent properties. 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. The project qualifies under a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site is General Industrial and Neo Industrial (NI) District, respectively, which permits the development and operation of a warehouse/distribution building of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the City’s development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits, is under five acres, and is surrounded by existing residential development and City infrastructure. The following are the five environmental factors that need to be analyzed in order to determine that the project qualifies for the Categorical Exemption: a) Traffic: A Trip Generation Assessment (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) was prepared for the project which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a significant impact. The project will generate approximately 15 peak hour trips which are well below 50 peak hours trips that would necessitate a Traffic Impact Analysis. b) Noise: A Noise Impact Analysis (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) was prepared for the project. The analysis determined that the construction and operational noise levels would not exceed the City’s noise thresholds and no mitigation measures were necessary. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 21-65 CUP DRC2021-00304 – SERGE BONALDO FOR BERNELL HYDRAULICS October 13, 2021 Page 3 c) Air Quality: Separate Air Quality and a Green House Gas Analysis (Urban Crossroads; December 23, 2020) were prepared for the project. The analysis determined that emissions associated with the construction and operation of the project would be below South Coast Air Quality Maintenance District (SCAQMD) thresholds for both Air Quality and Green House Gases. d) Water Quality: A Water Quality Control exhibit (Valued Engineering, Inc.; October 2020) was prepared for the project. It was also determined through the review of the project’s preliminary water quality plan that the project would not result in a significant impact related to water quality of the site or surrounding properties. e) Biological: A Habitat Assessment) (ELMT Consulting; June 7, 2021) was prepared for the project site. The project site does not include any natural habitats and is surrounded by development. The Habitat Assessment determined that the project site does not contain drainage features, ponded areas, wetlands, or riparian habitats that would be under the jurisdiction of federal, state, or local agencies. Based on the onsite conditions, the project is not anticipated to result in any impact to federally or State-listed plants or animals listed as endangered or threatened or to any non-listed special-status species. No natural communities will be affected by the project and the project is not within a Habitat Conservation Plan area. The Habitat Assessment does recommend a nesting bird survey prior to grading if vegetation removal takes place during the bird nesting period (February 1 to August 31). A condition of approval has been added to the project requiring the nesting bird survey if grading falls within the nesting bird season. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff’s determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2021.

This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA guidelines under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3). This item will be forwarded to City Council for final action. (DRC2021-00354) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the draft resolution attached hereto as Exhibit A, recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance to permit utility companies to store materials and equipment associated with utility facilities and infrastructure, to correct an omission for food manufacturing uses in the allowed land use table (17.30.030-1), delete an errant line related to building height in the industrial development standards table (17.36.040-1) and to adopt an uncodified amendment to Ordinance No. 982 to exempt certain buildings currently under construction from the amended use table. BACKGROUND: On July 21, 2021 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 982, amending Title 17 of the Municipal Code to modify administrative procedures, rename zoning districts, amend land uses and definitions and create new development standards for industrial development. Ordinance No. 982 became effective on August 20, 2021. ANALYSIS: Given the extensive and innovative new land use regulations included in Ordinance No. 982, the City Council understood that certain refinements would be necessary as the regulations were applied to certain types of industrial uses and properties to avoid unintended consequences. Staff is proposing the following changes: Material and Equipment Storage for Public Utilities Staff is proposing amending Section 17.48.050.E (Screening for Industrial Zoning Districts) to add text clarifying that public utility companies (such as Southern California Edison) may store material or equipment associated with the construction or operation of utility facilities and infrastructure on real property owned or controlled by a public utility company. Page 2 Addition to the Allowed Land Use Table During the development of the industrial code standards, a new land use type was created called “Food Processing/Manufacturing” to capture uses that manufacture or process food products within the city. Examples include Mission Foods, Coca-Cola, Frito-Lay, Nongshim and Evolution Fresh all of which are in Rancho Cucamonga. While the new land use was created and a definition was provided, it was not added to the allowed land use table. Staff proposes adding this use to Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Use Table) as follows: TABLE 17.30.030-1: ALLOWED LAND USES AND PERMIT REQUIREMENTS BY BASE ZONING DISTRICT Land Use/Zoning District VL L LM M MH H MU OP NC GC CC SC RRC CO IP NI IE OS HR FC UC Industrial, Manufacturing, and Processing Uses (17) Food Processing/ Manufacturing N N N N N N N N N N N N N N M P P N N N N Effect of Ordinance No. 982 on Buildings Under Construction There has been concern expressed about industrial projects currently under construction in the City that making certain industrial uses conditionally permitted has created uncertainty in lease negotiations and may make new buildings more challenging to lease to new tenants, adding last minute time and cost delays that were unexpected. While most industrial uses in smaller spaces (50,000 sq. ft or less) are permitted by right there are a limited number of industrial buildings that are nearing completion in the midrange in size (50,000 – 125,000 sq. ft.) that may require a conditional use permit for new tenants, which may delay or prevent leasing of these buildings in the near term. To address these concerns, staff has added language in the ordinance (Section 2) that allows industrial buildings currently under construction to use the land use table, as it existed prior to Ordinance No. 982 to determine if the use is permitted. Currently, there is one identified project that this section would apply to, located at 8738, 8768 and 8798 E. 9th Street. Any other developers who feel their project applies for this exemption may request a determination from the Planning Director. Deletion in the Industrial Development Standards Table An extraneous line was included in Table 17.36.040-1 under Maximum Building Height with no reference to any specific height development standard. Staff proposes Table 17.36.040-1 (Industrial Development Standards) be amended to delete the extraneous line as shown below: TABLE 17.36.040-1 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS Development Standard/Zoning District IP NI IE Lot area (minimum) (1) 0.5 ac 0.5 ac 5 ac or 2 ac (2) Lot width (minimum) (3) 100 ft 100 ft 100 ft Min.

The Ordinance qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing significant effects 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 Ordinance does not propose any physical change to the environment itself. Public utilities are generally exempt from the City’s zoning and building regulations, such that the proposed amendment to the storage regulations applicable to public utilities will not cause a change to the baseline environmental and regulatory setting. Furthermore, any industrial warehouse building currently under construction as of the effective date of Ordinance No. 982 underwent environmental review at the time the building’s discretionary entitlements were approved. Such environmental review would have considered the effects of warehouse uses within the industrial warehouse buildings. No changes to the baseline environmental setting is caused by confirming that warehouse uses are permitted in buildings that were currently under construction when Ordinance No. 982 took effect. In addition, updates to the land use table and development standards table to correct errors and omissions do not create any relaxation of the development standards that were implemented prior to when Ordinance No. 982 became effective or have been applied since the effective date of Ordinance No. 982. Based on this evidence and all of the evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with the Planning Department’s determination that this Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review under CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed clarifying amendments have no expected fiscal impact to the City. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Through the continued engagement of stakeholders and using that information 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.

Recitals. A. On July 21, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 982 to amend the land use regulations applicable to industrial uses, including new regulations applicable to the storage of materials and equipment on industrial-zoned properties and amendments to the Development Code’s land use table to require discretionary use permits for certain types of industrial uses. The primary purpose of Ordinance No. 982 was to prohibit or further regulate industrial uses that often pose significant air quality, traffic, and aesthetic impacts. Ordinance No. 982 took effect on August 20, 2021. B. Given the extensive and innovative new land use regulations included in Ordinance No. 982, the City Council understood that certain refinements would be necessary as the regulations were applied to certain types of industrial uses and properties in order to avoid unintended consequences. The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide clarity to public utilities and industrial developers with buildings that were under construction when Ordinance No. 982 took effect. In addition, two errors were discovered after the implementation of Ordinance No. 982: 1) A land use definition was added for “Food Processing/Manufacturing”, however the use was not added to the land use table defining where this use is allowed and 2) an extraneous line was included in Table 17.36.040-1 with no reference to any specific development standard. C. On __________, 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing with respect to the Ordinance and, following the conclusion thereof, adopted Resolution No. 21-___, recommending that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopt this Ordinance. D. On __________, 2021, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on this Ordinance and concluded said hearing on that date. E. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. II. Findings. A. Based upon all available evidence presented to the City Council during the above- referenced public hearing, this City Council hereby finds and concludes that the changes Draft Ordinance – Page 2 of 6 proposed to Title 17 (“Development Code”) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code by this Ordinance and the uncodified amendment to Ordinance No. 982 are consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs. General Plan Resource Conservation Policy Goals 4 through 6 encourage the City to work with public utility providers to promote adequate and efficient utility services within the City. Ensuring that public utilities, including Southern California Edison, have sufficient laydown areas to store equipment and materials, will ensure that the City does not unduly restrict such utility development within the City. In addition, providing a limited exemption from the use table amended by Ordinance No. 982 will be consistent with the General Plan’s characterization of the City as business-friendly and committed to fairness in the development process. (General Plan, pg. I-8). The proposed changes to the land use and development standards tables correct clerical errors further promote fairness in the development process by providing clarity in the development code for the standards and regulations for existing and new development. B. The Planning Department has determined that this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The Ordinance qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing significant effects 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 Ordinance does not propose any physical change to the environment itself. Public utilities are generally exempt from the City’s zoning and building regulations, such that the proposed amendment to the storage regulations applicable to public utilities will not cause a change to the baseline environmental and regulatory setting. Furthermore, any industrial warehouse building currently under construction as of the effective date of Ordinance No. 982 underwent environmental review at the time the building’s discretionary entitlements were approved. Such environmental review would have considered the effects of warehouse uses within the industrial warehouse buildings. No changes to the baseline environmental setting is caused by confirming that warehouse uses are permitted in buildings that were currently under construction when Ordinance No. 982 took effect. In addition, updates to the land use table and development standards table to correct errors and omissions do not create any relaxation of the development standards that were implemented prior to when Ordinance No. 982 became effective or have been applied since the effective date of Ordinance No. 982. Based on this evidence and all of the evidence in the record, the City Council concurs with the Planning Department’s determination that this Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review under CEQA. III. Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Subsection E (“Industrial Zoning Districts”) of Section 17.48.050 (“Requirements by Land Use Type”) of Chapter 17.48 (Fences, Walls, and Screening) of Article IV (Site Development Provisions) of Title 17 (Development Code) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: E. Industrial zoning districts. 1. Storage area/screening. The purpose of storage area/screening regulations is to allow for on-site storage, which is screened from view from the public right-of-way or from adjacent properties accessible to the public and is architecturally compatible with the Draft Ordinance – Page 3 of 6 surrounding environment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public utility company may store materials or equipment associated with the construction or operation of utility facilities and infrastructure on real property owned or controlled by the public utility company. SECTION 2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Ordinance No. 982, Section 17.30.030 (“Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements”), including Table 17.30-030-1 (“Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zoning District”), Section 17.32.020 Draft Ordinance – Page 4 of 6 (“Allowed Use Descriptions”), and Article II (“Land Use and Development Procedures”) of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code (the “Use Provisions”), as amended by Ordinance No. 982, shall not apply to any industrial warehouse building that had received all required discretionary entitlements and building permits and was under construction as of Ordinance No. 982’s effective date (an “Exempt Building”). Instead, the Use Provisions in effect on August 19, 2021, shall continue to apply to an Exempt Building unless and until the building is significantly altered or reconstructed, in which case the Exempt Building and the uses contained therein shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 17.62 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code (“Nonconforming Uses and Structures”). The City Council finds that the only industrial warehouse building qualifying as an Exempt Building is located at 8738, 8768, 8798 E. 9th Street, which is currently owned by 9th&Vineyard LLC. In the event that any other property owner claims to own an Exempt Building, then the Planning Director shall verify in writing that the building qualifies as such. SECTION 3.
