a. The proposed Project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s adopted General Plan and/or applicable specific plan(s). The Project site has a General Plan land use designation of Light Industrial (LI). The LI land use designation is intended for industrial uses with fewer impacts on traffic, noises, odors and pollutants and allows for a broad range of uses . The Project has been designed to meet applicable development standards and design guidelines. The Project serves General Plan Goal LU -2 a nd Objective LU-2.1 which aim to foster the development of new industrial uses in the City while preventing negative impacts on the health, safety, and welfare of residents and General Plan Objective LU -1.3 which encourages commercial development that will support and enhance vibrant commercial areas and serve existing neighborhoods;
b. The proposed Project is permitted within the zoning district in which it is proposed and complies with all applicable provisions of the City’s Zoning Code. The Project is located in the Light Industrial (M1) zoning district and consists of a 158,548 square foot warehouse industrial building and a 3,540 square foot food and beverage building with an outdoor dining area. The restaurant uses and the size of the warehouse building, which exceeds 50,000 square feet, require approval of a Special Conditional Use Permit .
Additionally, the Project meets or exceeds all minimum development standards related to setbacks, building height, lot coverage, parking, and landscaping;
c. The subject site is physically suitable, including, but not limited to, parcel size, shape, access and availability of utilities, for the type and intensity of use proposed, as all minimum zoning requirements governing parcel size, shape, access, type and intensity of development have been met or exceeded. The 7.35- acre site is flat and will have adequate infrastructure and four points of vehicular access from Schaefer Avenue and Oaks Avenue. Utilities and stormwater improvements will be extended to serve the site;
d. The subject site for the Project relates to streets and highways properly designed, both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the proposed Project, in that the Project site is located along Schaefer Avenue, which is designated as a primary arterial and Oaks Avenue, which is designated as an urban industrial collector .
Access to the site is provided from the adjacent streets. Additionally, RESOLUTION NO. PC2025-012
Schaefer Avenue is designated as a truck route. Both streets are currently improved and has adequate capacity to serve the proposed Project;
e. The proposed Project is compatible with those abutting properties and in the surrounding area. The Project is located within an area designated for industrial uses and is surrounded by existing industrial developments to the east, south and west. To the north, Schaefer Avenue separates the single- family residential development from the Project. The Project will have no significant negative light, noise, and aesthetic impacts, as the building has been designed to meet all development and design requirements of the M1 zoning district, in which it is located;
f. The proposed location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed Project will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety or general welfare, as the proposed Project consists of a mixed-use development with an industrial building and a food and beverage building, which is consistent with the M1 zoning district. In addition, certain safeguards have been required of the proposed Project, which the Planning Commission deems necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. These safeguards (Conditions of Approval) are attached hereto as Exhibit “A”;
g. The proposed Project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment as an Addendum to the City of Chino General Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2008091064) for the Chino Gateway Terminal Project has been prepared for this Project pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
CHINO GATEWAY TERMINAL PROJECT
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 1
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared for use in implementing mitigation for the:
Chino Gateway Terminal Project
Special Conditional Use Permits (PL24-0097 and PL24-0120), Site Approval (PL24-0098) The program has been prepared in compliance with State law and Addendum to The City of Chino General Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2008091064) prepared for the project by the City of Chino (City).
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for those measures placed on a project to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment (Public Resource Code Section 21081.6). The law states the reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.
The monitoring program contains the following elements:
1) The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. In some instances, one action may be used to verify implementation of several mitigation measures.
2) A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported.
3) The program has been designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those responsible for the program. As changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and reco rds will be developed and incorporated into the program.
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program includes mitigation identified in The City of Chino General Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2008091064).
MITIGATION MONITORING AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Lead Agency, the City is responsible for ensuring full compliance with the mitigation measures adopted for the proposed project. The City shall monitor and report on all mitigation activities.
Mitigation measures shall be implemented at different stages of development throughout the project site. In this regard, the responsibilities for implementation have been assigned to the Applicant, City, Contractor, or a combination th ereof. If, during the course of project implementation, any of the mitigation measures identified herein cannot be successfully implemented, the City shall be immediately informed, and the City shall then inform any affected responsible agencies. The City , in conjunction with any affected responsible agencies, shall then determine if modification to the project is required and/or whether alternative mitigation is appropriate.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MEASURES
Regulatory Compliance Measures are presented in instances where the proposed project would not create a significant impact but would be required to adhere to regulatory requirements in order to ensure impacts do not become significant. Regulatory Compliance Measures outline compliance with various federal, State, and/or local acts, laws, rules, regulations, municipal codes, policies, etc.
