Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, California; and WHEREAS, the City gave notice of its intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration to (a) the public pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (b) individuals and organizations, if any, that previously submitted written requests for notice pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (c) responsible and trustee and other agencies with jurisdiction over resources that will affected by the Proposed Project pursuant to Section 15073(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and (d) the Clerk of the County of Los Angeles pursuant to Section 15072(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, on May 4, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law to consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopted Resolution PC-1666, recommending approval of the Zone Change to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on May 14, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing, notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law to consider the Zone Change and to hear and consider evidence for and against the proposed Project and related actions and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith, and voted 5-0 to continue the Project to the May 28, 2024 City Council meeting; and
WHEREAS, on May 28, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing, notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law to consider the Zone Change and to hear and consider evidence for and against the proposed Project and related actions and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith, and voted 5-0 to continue the Project to a date uncertain; and
WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on September 24, 2024 at the hour of 7:00 p.m. with all testimony received being made part of the public record.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Commissioners at the hearing, the City Council now finds as follows:
A. The proposed Zone Change will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
The Zone Change will allow the development of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building, which will be consistent with the existing light industrial buildings adjacent to the project area. The surrounding zoning to the north, east and west is currently Light Manufacturing (M-1). Additionally, the Zone Change is required pursuant to Government Code Section 65860 to provide consistency between the zoning and the General Plan Land Use designation. Therefore, the Zone Change will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
B. The proposed Zone Change will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The Zone Change will allow the development of a new 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building being proposed in conjunction with this request.

Zone Change 21-0001
September 24, 2024
The affected parcels were occupied by nine (9) single-family residences. The Zone Change will facilitate the development of a new warehouse/office building, which will provide additional job opportunities for current residents. The new development will include new infrastructure throughout the project area to include, but not limited to, storm drain and sewer, and off-site improvements such as new sidewalks and the removal of several overhead utility lines. Therefore, the Zone Change will improve the overall area and will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
C. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed Zone Change from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1) will provide consistency between the zoning and General Plan Land Use designation, which is currently Industrial. Additionally, the Zone Change is required pursuant to Government Code Section 65860 to provide consistency between the zoning and the General Plan Land Use designation.
The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element as follows:
Land Use Element Goal L-4: Plan and create an urban form that efficiently utilizes urban infrastructure and services. Plan for orderly growth rather than leap frog development.
Objective 4.1: Promote future land use and development patterns which reduce costs of infrastructure construction, encourages transit to make better use of existing facilities, and achieve a good match between future growth and phasing of existing facilities or expansion of new ones.
The proposed Zone Change will be consistent with the uses to the north, west and east, and will allow for a contiguous area of M-1 zoning, eliminating an instance of leap frog development where industrial uses surrounded a residentially zoned area. The new zoning will also help to achieve a good match between the current industrial zoned properties and new industrial development on the properties to be rezoned.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the City Council approves Zone Change 21-0001 changing the zoning classification for the subject properties as set forth on the Land Use Map in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

A complete copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is on file and can be viewed in the Planning Division at 245 E. Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, California.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the City Council at the hearing, and subject to the Conditions attached as “Exhibit A”, the City Council now finds as follows:
Development Plan Review Findings
A. The development of the site in accordance with the development plan is suitable for the use or development intended.
The proposed development consists of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building, which will require a zone change, lot merger, removal of 17 mature trees, and approval of a development plan for site plan layout and architectural review of the new warehouse building. The proposed building will be located at the southeast corner of the site, and a new drive aisle with parking will wrap around the building along the west and north property lines and will be accessed from Allen Avenue and Cataract Street. A truck loading dock will be located along the west elevation of the building and will service both proposed units within the new warehouse building, and a trash enclosure will also be constructed adjacent to the drive aisle along the west property line. The building will have varying heights, including tower-like elements at various locations to break up the massing, and will have a total height of 41 feet. The design of the building incorporates various architectural elements to help break up the building mass and elevations. New landscaping, including replacement trees will be installed throughout the site. Therefore, the proposed project will be constructed in a manner that will be compatible with adjacent light manufacturing buildings, in compliance with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone, subject to the conditions of approval.
B. The total development is so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety and general welfare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property.
Resolution 2024-27 Page 3
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
The subject site is located within an established light manufacturing and warehousing corridor with similar developments. The building design is comparable to other existing light manufacturing buildings located within the same area along Allen Avenue. Therefore, the proposed concrete tilt-up warehouse/office building is not out of character with the existing neighborhood. The project requires a total of 54 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces, and the project is proposing 56 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces in compliance with the Code requirement. The project will be accessed via two (2) driveways located on Allen Avenue and Cataract Avenue. In an effort to reduce impacts to Allen Avenue, Condition of approval No. 69 has been included to require that truck ingress be limited to the Cataract Avenue driveway and that the Applicant also install signing and striping improvements to prevent truck ingress from Allen Avenue. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will also be carried out throughout the duration of the project’s construction to ensure that environmental impacts associated with the project are mitigated to less than significant in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, the project will comply with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone to the extent physically possible and the Applicant’s use of high-quality materials for the new building design will be done in a manner to ensure public health, general welfare, and prevent adverse effects on the neighboring properties.
C. The development is consistent with all elements of the general plan and is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning code and other ordinances and regulations of the city.
As part of the project and in compliance with Government Code Section 65860 the subject site will be rezoned from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1), which will provide consistency with the General Plan land use designation of Industrial. Therefore, the proposed project meets the intent of the General Plan land use designation of Industrial and will comply with all zoning standards of the proposed M-1 zone, including setbacks, height, etc. The proposed site improvements in conjunction with the development will enhance the existing streets and and will be consistent with all of the elements of the General Plan, M-1 zone, and all other ordinances and regulations of the City, to the extent physically possible.
Tree Removal Findings
D. It is reasonable to remove the trees because the continued existence at the location prevents the reasonable development of the subject property.
The 17 trees proposed for removal would prevent the reasonable development of the subject property. The trees to be removed are located within or adjacent to the proposed building pad location, and within the proposed drive aisle which warrants their removal.
As required by the City’s Tree Preservation ordinance, the Applicant will be required to plant 34 replacement trees. The conceptual landscape plan includes a total of 40 replacement trees, which will include the 34 required replacement tree.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the City Council approves Lot Merger 21-0001, Development Plan Review Board 21-0002 and Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 subject to compliance with the Conditions in “Exhibit A” attached hereto and incorporated herein.

MITIGATION MEASURES
76. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - MM BIO-1: Pre-Construction Breeding Bird Survey. If construction is anticipated to commence during the nesting season (between January 1 and August 31 of any given year, or as determined by a local CDFW office), a qualified avian biologist shall conduct a preconstruction nesting bird survey no earlier than one week prior to construction.
To be in compliance with the MBTA and Fish and Game Code, and to avoid impacts or take of migratory non-game breeding birds, their nests, young, and eggs, the following measures will be implemented. The measures below will help to reduce direct and indirect impacts caused by construction on migratory non-game breeding birds to less than significant levels:
i. Project activities that will remove or disturb potential nest sites, such as open ground, trees, shrubs, grasses, and burrows, during the breeding season would be a potentially significant impact if migratory non-game breeding birds are present. Project activities that will remove or disturb potential nest sites will be scheduled outside the breeding bird season to avoid potential direct impacts on migratory non-game breeding birds protected by the MBTA and Fish and Game Code. The breeding bird nesting season is typically from February 15 through September 15 but can vary slightly from year to year, usually depending on weather conditions. Removing all physical features that could potentially serve as nest sites will also help to prevent birds from nesting within the project site during the breeding season and during construction activities. ii. If project activities cannot be avoided from February 15 through September 15, a qualified biologist will conduct a pre-construction breeding bird survey for breeding birds and active nests or potential nesting sites within the limits of project disturbance. The survey will be conducted at least seven days prior to the onset of scheduled activities, such as mobilization and staging. It will end no more than three days prior to vegetation, substrate, and structure removal and/or disturbance.
iii. If no breeding birds or active nests are observed during the pre-construction survey or they are observed and will not be impacted, project activities may begin and no further mitigation will be required.
iv. If a breeding bird territory or an active bird nest is located during the pre-construction survey and will potentially be impacted, the site will be mapped on engineering
Resolution 2024-27 Page 14
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
drawings, and a no-activity buffer zone will be marked (fencing, stakes, flagging, orange snow fencing, etc.) a minimum of 100 feet in all directions or 500 feet in all directions for listed bird species and all raptors. The biologist will determine the appropriate buffer size based on the type of activities planned near the nest and the type of bird that created the nest. Some bird species are more tolerant than others of noise and activities occurring near their nest. The buffer zone will not be disturbed by construction or other activity until a qualified biologist has determined that the nest is inactive, the young have fledged, the young are no longer being fed by the parents, the young have left the area, or the young will no longer be impacted by project activities. Periodic monitoring by a biologist will be performed to determine when nesting is complete. Once the nesting cycle has finished, project activities may begin within the buffer zone. v. If listed bird species are observed within the project site during the pre-construction survey, the biologist will immediately map the area and notify the appropriate resource agency to determine suitable protection measures and/or mitigation measures and to determine if additional surveys or focused protocol surveys are necessary. Project activities may begin within the area only when concurrence is received from the appropriate resource agency.
vi. Birds or their active nests will not be disturbed, captured, handled, or moved. Active nests cannot be removed or disturbed; however, nests can be removed or disturbed if determined inactive by a qualified biologist.
77. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - MM BIO-2: Mature Significant Tree Replacement Measure.
There are 19 trees on the project site that are designated as mature significant trees as per the City’s tree preservation ordinance (City of San Dimas, 2006), 17 of which are proposed for removal. The following species and number per species of mature significant trees are proposed for removal: one bishop pine, eleven pepper trees, three white ash, one Mexican fan palm, and one carrotwood. Section 18.162.060 Conditions Imposed of the tree preservation ordinance state that mature significant trees must be replaced using a two-toone ratio with trees that are 15-gallon box trees, or other replacement of equivalent value and size, or as the City deems appropriate. It further states that the replacement trees will be planted within the project site unless the City approves offsite planting. Thus, to replace the 17 mature significant trees that will be removed during the construction of the project, the project proponent will plant 34 fifteen-gallon box trees on the project site. All replacement trees need to be maintained by the project proponent for two years and all other monitoring and maintenance requirements of this section of the tree preservation ordinance must be followed. Furthermore, granting of the tree removal permit is contingent upon meeting the conditions of Section 18.162. 070 Required Findings, of the tree preservation ordinance.
78. CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM CUL-1: Prior to the commencement of grading or excavation, workers conducting construction activities and their foremen will receive Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training from a qualified archaeologist regarding the potential for sensitive archaeological and paleontological resources to be unearthed during grading activities. The workers will be directed to report any unusual specimens of bone, stone, ceramics, or other archaeological artifacts or features observed during grading and/or other construction activities to their foremen and to cease grading activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery until a qualified archaeologist or Native American cultural monitor is notified of the discovery by the Superintendent of the project site and can assess their significance. The WEAP shall be implemented to educate all construction personnel on
Resolution 2024-27 Page 15
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
the area’s environmental conditions and the environmental protection measures that must be adhered to by all workers throughout the duration of project construction.
Training materials shall be language-appropriate for all construction personnel. Upon completion of the WEAP, workers shall sign a form stating that they attend the program, understand all protection measures, and shall abide by all the rules of the WEAP. A record of all trained personnel shall be kept with the construction foreman at the project field construction office and shall be made available to any resource agency personnel. If new construction personnel is added to the project later, the construction foreman shall ensure that new personnel receives training before they start working. The archaeologist shall provide hard copies of the WEAP presentation to the construction foreman.
79. CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM CUL-2: If historical or unique archaeological resources are discovered during construction, the contractor shall halt construction activities in the immediate area and notify the City. An on-call qualified archaeologist shall be notified and afforded the necessary time to recover, analyze, and curate the find(s). The qualified archaeologist shall recommend the extent of archaeological monitoring necessary to ensure the protection of any other resources that may be in the area and afford the necessary time and funds to recover, analyze, and curate the find(s). Construction activities may continue on other parts of the site while the evaluation and treatment of historical or unique archaeological resources take place.
80. CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM CUL-3: If human remains are encountered during excavations associated with this project, all work shall stop within a 30-foot radius of the discovery, and the San Bernardino County Coroner will be notified (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The Coroner will determine whether the remains are of recent human origin or older Native American ancestry. If the coroner, with the aid of the supervising archaeologist, determines that the remains are prehistoric, they will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC will be responsible for designating the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD (either an individual or sometimes a committee) will be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the remains, as required by § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. The MLD will make recommendations within 24 hours of their notification by the NAHC. These recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials (§ 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code).
81. GEOLOGY AND SOILS - MM GEO-1: The project applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist, prior to the issuance of building/grading permit, to remain on-call during project ground-disturbing activities. If paleontological resources are uncovered during project construction, the contractor shall halt construction activities within 50 feet of the find and notify the City. The on-call paleontologist shall be notified and afforded the necessary time and funds to recover, analyze, and curate the find(s). The paleontologist shall curate the find(s) at an accredited repository for paleontological resources such as the Western Science Center near Hemet or the San Bernardino County Museum. Subsequently, the monitor shall remain onsite for the duration of the ground disturbance to ensure the protection of any other resources that are found during construction on the project site.
82. HAZARDOUS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - MM HAZ-1: In the event that the future tenant will handle hazardous materials above the reportable quantity threshold, the lease agreement with the future tenant shall require the tenant to submit a Hazardous Materials
Resolution 2024-27 Page 16
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
Business Plan which would include an inventory of all hazardous materials used, stored, or otherwise managed onsite to the Los Angeles County Fire Department – Health Hazardous Materials Division. The recommendations of the Hazardous Materials Business Plan would be included in the lease agreement (signed by the tenant) as mandatory measures required to be implemented by the tenant.
83. HAZARDOUS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - MM HAZ-2: In the event that the future tenant will handle hazardous materials above the reportable quantity threshold, the lease agreement with the future tenant shall require the tenant, in coordination with the City of San Dimas, to identify routes along which hazardous materials may routinely be transported. If essential facilities such as schools, hospitals, child care centers, or other facilities with special evacuation needs are located along these routes, the future tenant shall develop an emergency response plan that can be implemented in the event of an unauthorized release of hazardous materials. The recommendations of the Emergency Response Plan would be included in the lease agreement (signed by the future tenant) as mandatory measures required to be implemented by the future tenant.
84. NOISE - MM N-1: The construction contractor will use the following source controls when working within 600 feet of occupied residential buildings:
i. Use of noise-producing equipment will be limited to the interval from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with no construction on Sundays.
ii. For all noise-producing equipment, use types and models that have the lowest horsepower and the lowest noise generating potential practical for their intended use.
iii. The construction contractor will ensure that all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, is properly operating (tuned-up) and lubricated, and that mufflers are working adequately.
iv. Have only necessary equipment onsite.
v. Use manually-adjustable or ambient-sensitive backup alarms.
85. NOISE - MM N-2: When working near adjacent residential uses, the construction contractor will also use the following path controls, except where not physically feasible, when needed:
i. Install portable noise barriers, including solid structures and noise blankets, between the active noise sources and the nearest noise receivers. ii. Temporarily enclose localized and stationary noise sources. iii. Store and maintain equipment, building materials, and waste materials as far as practical from as many sensitive receivers as practical.
86. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-1: Retain a Native American Monitor Prior to Commencement of Ground-Disturbing Activities:
Resolution 2024-27 Page 17
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
i. The project applicant/lead agency shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation. The monitor shall be retained prior to the commencement of any “ground-disturbing activity” for the subject project at all project locations (i.e., both on-site and any off-site locations that are included in the project description/definition and/or required in connection with the project, such as public improvement work). “Ground-disturbing activity” shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching into native soil and undocumented soils. The monitor(s) will continue their duties until it is determined through consultation with the permittee, City Planning, that monitoring is no longer warranted.
ii. A copy of the executed monitoring agreement shall be submitted to the lead agency prior to the earlier commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, or the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity. iii. The monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the relevant ground-disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed, locations of ground-disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe.
Monitor logs will identify and describe any discovered TCRs, including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, tribal cultural resources, or “TCR”), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial goods. Copies of monitor logs will be provided to the project applicant/lead agency upon written request to the Tribe.
iv. On-site tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the following (1) written confirmation to the Kizh from a designated point of contact for the project applicant/lead agency that all ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve ground-disturbing activities on the project site or in connection with the project are complete; or (2) a determination and written notification by the Kizh to the project applicant/lead agency that no future, planned construction activity and/or development/construction phase at the project site possesses the potential to impact Kizh TCRs.
v. Upon discovery of any TCRs, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery shall cease (i.e., not less than the surrounding 50 feet) and the City notified. Construction activities may continue in other areas outside of the designated protection zone, which shall be delineated with cones, flagging, or fencing. The designated Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist shall evaluate the significance of the find and determine whether the resource uncovered is a TCR.
If its determined that the potential resource is a TCR (as defined by PRC, Section 21074), tribes consulting under AB 52 would be provided a reasonable period of time, typically 5 days from the date of a new discovery is made, to conduct a site visit and make recommendations regarding future ground disturbance activities as well as the treatment of any discovered TCRs. The designated tribe monitor/archaeologist shall implement a plan for the treatment and disposition of any discovered TCRs based on the nature of the resource and considering the recommendations of the tribe(s). Implementation of proposed recommendations
Resolution 2024-27 Page 18
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
will be made based on the determination of the City that the approach is reasonable and feasible. The Kizh will recover and retain all discovered TCRs in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, in the Tribe’s sole discretion, and for any purpose, the Tribe deems appropriate, including for educational, cultural, and/or historic purposes.
87. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-2: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects:
i. Native American human remains are defined in PRC 5097.98 (d)(1) as an inhumation or cremation and in any state of decomposition or skeletal completeness. Funerary objects, called associated grave goods in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute. ii. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized on the project site, then all construction activities shall immediately cease. Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 dictates that any discoveries of human skeletal material shall be immediately reported to the County Coroner and all ground-disturbing activities shall immediately halt and shall remain halted until the coroner has determined the nature of the remains. If the coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American or has reason to believe they are Native American, he or she shall contact, by telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission, and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 shall be followed.
iii. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2).
iv. Construction activities may resume in other parts of the project site at a minimum of 200 feet away from discovered human remains and/or burial goods, if the Kizh determines in its sole discretion that resuming construction activities at that distance is acceptable and provides the project manager express consent of that determination (along with any other mitigation measures the Kizh monitor and/or archaeologist deems necessary). (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f).) v. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin (non-TCR) shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes.
vi. Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent further disturbance.
88. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR -3: Procedures for Burials and Funerary Remains:
Resolution 2024-27 Page 19
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
i. As the Most Likely Descendant ("MLD"), the Koo-nas-gna Burial Policy shall be implemented. To the Tribe, the term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones. In ancient as well as historic times, Tribal Traditions included, but were not limited to, the preparation of the soil for burial, the burial of funerary objects with the deceased, and the ceremonial burning of human remains. ii. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and recovered on the same day, the remains will be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can be moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard should be posted outside of working hours. The Tribe will make every effort to recommend diverting the project and keeping the remains in situ and protected.
If the project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that burials will be removed. iii. In the event preservation in place is not possible despite good faith efforts by the project applicant/developer and/or landowner, before ground-disturbing activities may resume on the project site, the landowner shall arrange a designated site location within the footprint of the project for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or ceremonial objects. Construction activities may continue in other areas outside of the designated protection zone, which shall be delineated with cones, flagging, or fencing.
iv. Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using opaque cloth bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony will be removed to a secure container on site if possible. These items should be retained and reburied within six months of recovery. The site of reburial/repatriation shall be on the project site but at a location agreed upon between the Tribe and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall be no publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered.
v. The Tribe will work closely with the project’s qualified archaeologist to ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically, and respectfully. If data recovery is approved by the Tribe, documentation shall be prepared and shall include (at a minimum) detailed descriptive notes and sketches. All data recovery data recovery-related forms of documentation shall be approved in advance by the Tribe. If any data recovery is performed, once complete, a final report shall be submitted to the applicant, the City, the South Central Coastal Information Center, the Tribe and the NAHC. The Tribe does NOT authorize any scientific study or the utilization of any invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains.
89. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-4: Prior to the commencement of any grounddisturbing activity at the project site, the project applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor from a local culturally-affiliated Gabrielino (Tongva) tribe. A copy of the executed contract shall be submitted to the City of San Dimas Planning Division prior to the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity.
90. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-5: The Tribal monitor shall only be present on-site during the construction phases that involve ground-disturbing activities. Ground disturbing activities are defined by the Tribe as activities that may include but are not limited
Resolution 2024-27 Page 20
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 September 24, 2024
to, pavement removal, potholing or auguring, grubbing, tree removals, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching, within the project area. The Tribal Monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the day’s activities, including construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The on-site monitoring shall end when all ground-disturbing activities on the Project Site are completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and Tribal Monitor have indicated that all upcoming ground-disturbing activities at the Project Site have little to no potential for impacting Tribal Cultural Resources.
91. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES -MM TCR-6: Upon discovery of a Tribal Cultural Resource, construction activities shall cease in the immediate vicinity of the find (not less than the surrounding 60 feet) until the find can be assessed. All Tribal Cultural Resources unearthed by project activities shall be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor as described in MM TCR-4. If the resources are Native American in origin, the monitoring Tribe may retain it/them in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, for educational, cultural, and/or historic purposes.
92. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES -MM TCR-7: If human remains are encountered during excavations associated with this project, all work shall stop within a 60-foot radius of the discovery, and the Los Angeles County Coroner will be notified (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The Coroner will determine whether the remains are of recent human origin or older Native American ancestry. If the coroner, with the aid of the supervising archaeologist, determines that the remains are prehistoric, they will contact the NAHC. The NAHC will be responsible for designating the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLDS (either an individual or sometimes a committee) will be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the remains, as required by § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. The MLD will make recommendations within 24 hours of their notification by the NAHC. These recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials (§ 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution 2024-28, approving the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration.
2. Introduce Ordinance 1306, approving Zone Change 21-0001, changing the zoning designation of the parcels from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1).
3. Adopt Resolution 2024-27, approving Lot Merger 21-0001, the merger of three contiguous lots; and as recommended by Development Plan Review Board DPRB Case No. 21-0002 design and construction of the tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building and Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 for the removal of 17 mature trees, with the adoption of the associated Initial Study/Mitigated Negative.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action. All costs associated with the cost to prepare the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project were borne by the Applicant.
BACKGROUND
On November 24, 2020, City Council authorized the initiation of a Zone Change from Light Agriculture (A-L) to Light Manufacturing (M-1) to allow the Applicant, Ignacio Crespo, O.C.
Engineering & Design, on behalf of the property owner, Allen Industrial Investors LLC to submit entitlement applications to develop a 2.58-acre site comprised of three (3) contiguous parcels that are currently developed with nine (9) single-family homes into a warehouse building.
On January 25, 2021, the Applicant submitted the following applications for the development of the warehouse project:
1. Zone Change No. 21-0001 – A request to change the zoning land use classification from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1).
2. Lot Merger 21-0001 – A request to consolidate three (3) contiguous lots together.
3. DPRB Case No. 21-0002 – A request for development of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building.
4. Tree Removal Permit No. 21-0004 – A request to remove 17 mature trees in conjunction with the project.
The 2.58-acre subject site consists of three (3) contiguous lots, which will be merged as part of the development process and was developed with nine (9) vacant single-family residences (See Figure 1). Typically, existing structures are not demolished until after the project has received all approvals and building permits have been issued. However, since the homes were vacant, there was several issues related to people occupying the vacant structures that resulted in several responses by the Sheriff’s Department. Therefore, a demolition permit was issued on March 13, 2023, to address the health and safety issues and concerns that have resulted from the structures being vacant. No other activity, including removal of trees, will occur until after the project has been approved and all permits have been issued.
ZC 21-0001, LM 21-0001, DPRB No. 21-0002, & TRP21-0003 Page 3 For the Meeting of May 14, 2024
At its March 23, 2023, regular meeting, the Development Plan Review board (DPRB) considered DPRB No. 21-0002 and TRP 21-0004 for the design and construction of the tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building along with the associated removal of 17 mature trees. After consideration, the DPRB recommended approval of the two (2) applications to the Planning Commission, subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval. The DPRB did not act on the Zone Change or Lot Merger, as the actions are not under DPRB purview.
At the May 4, 2023, regular meeting, the Planning Commission considered the project applications, along with the associated Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Commission raised concerns with the height (41 feet) of the warehouse building and with the heavy truck traffic that could result from the new warehouse use. In addition, during the public comment period, two (2) residents raised concerns with traffic and noise associated with the trucks for the proposed warehouse use, and concerns that employees would park on the street.
After conducting a public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval of all project and the IS/MND to the City Council, with an added condition that no truck ingress or egress shall be allowed on the Allen Avenue driveway. Chairman Bratt voted against the project citing concerns with the height of the building and increased traffic. See Attachment 5 for the Commission staff report, the resolutions and minutes.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Zone Change and Lot Merger
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change from the existing zoning of Light Agriculture (A-L) to Light Manufacturing (M-1). The proposed Zone Change consists of three (3) contiguous parcels all of which are owned by the same owner. The Applicant is also requesting Figure 1 – Aerial Map
ZC 21-0001, LM 21-0001, DPRB No. 21-0002, & TRP21-0003 Page 4 For the Meeting of May 14, 2024
approval of a Lot Merger to consolidate the three (3) contiguous lots together in order to complete the project. The proposed 2.58-acre lot will meet the minimum lot size requirement of 10,000 square feet and the minimum lot dept of 100 feet as required by the proposed M-1 Zone. The Zoning and General Plan designations for the site and surrounding areas are shown in the following maps (Figure 2) and Table 1 below.

Subject Site
ZC 21-0001, LM 21-0001, DPRB No. 21-0002, & TRP21-0003 Page 5 For the Meeting of May 14, 2024
The site is surrounded by developed single-family residences to the south and developed light industrial buildings to the north, east, and west. The proposed zone change will bring the site into compliance with the General Plan Land Use designation of Industrial and will integrate the parcel to the surrounding industrial zoning thereby making it consistent with the adjacent buildings and uses.
The existing AL land use classification allows for one single-family residential unit per lot. The subject lots are considered to be non-conforming lots due to the fact that they were developed with nine (9) single-family residences; six (6) more than what is currently allowed in the AL zone.
By changing the current zone of AL to M-1, which does not allow residential uses, there will be a net loss of three (3) residential units in the City. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66300, as amended by Senate Bill (SB) 8 in 2021, the zone change from AL to M-1 cannot occur unless another property is rezoned to increase the residential density in the City by at least three (3) units, one per parcel that were allowed under the AL zoning. Furthermore, the final action to approve the rezoning must occur concurrently at the same meeting of the legislative body, in this case, the City Council. The Commission can recommend approval to the City Council of the zone change for the project before them, but the City Council will need to consider another property to upzone residential density at the same meeting. Staff is processing an application for a sevenunit residential subdivision which meets the no net loss criteria and is being considered at this same meeting.
Site Description/Improvements
The proposed building will be located at the southeast corner of the site, and a new drive aisle with parking will wrap around the building along the west and north property lines and will be accessed from Allen Avenue and Cataract Street. A truck loading dock will be located along the west elevation of the building and will service both proposed units within the new warehouse building, and a trash enclosure will also be constructed adjacent to the drive aisle along the west property line. A new ten-foot-high concrete tilt up screen wall to match the building finish, and an eight-foot-high wrought iron sliding gate will be installed at two (2) locations to secure the parking lot. The first one will be located approximately 86 feet north of the Allen Avenue driveway entrance, and the second one will be located in approximately 253 feet west of the Cataract Avenue driveway entrance. There is an existing masonry wall that is shared with the adjacent lots to the west (327 W. Allen Avenue) and north (949 N. Cataract Avenue); therefore, no new perimeter walls will be incorporated into the project. The existing walls will be required to be finished to match the proposed building finish. All site lighting will be required to install fixtures that direct light downward and does not spillover onto adjacent properties. In addition, as part of the project, the Applicant will be required to install a new sidewalk along their Cataract Avenue frontage and will be required to underground all existing overhead utility lines that are located along the project frontages.
The project requires a total of 54 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces, and the project is proposing 56 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces in compliance with the Code requirement. As previously mentioned, the project will be accessed via two (2) driveways located on Allen Avenue and Cataract Avenue. In an effort to reduce impacts to Allen Avenue, Condition of approval No. 72 has been included to require that truck ingress be limited to the Cataract Avenue driveway and that the Applicant also install signing and striping improvements to prevent truck ingress from Allen Avenue. Lastly, the project will provide a bicycle rack near the entrance to each unit, with each rack securing up to five (5) bicycles.
ZC 21-0001, LM 21-0001, DPRB No. 21-0002, & TRP21-0003 Page 6 For the Meeting of May 14, 2024
New landscaping, including replacement trees discussed later in the report will be installed throughout the site. New landscaped areas subject to compliance with the City’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) will also be incorporated as part of the overall site improvements. The Council may wish to note that the conceptual landscaping plan is likely to be affected by the manner in which Low Impact Development (LID) compliance is reached for water retention and treatment.
Tree Removal
There are a total of 25 trees on site, of which 23 are proposed for removal, per the Tree Removal Plan (Figure 3), as their continued existence would prevent the reasonable development of the subject site. Of the 23 trees proposed for removal, 17 are considered mature trees per the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance. Under the San Dimas Municipal Code Section 18.162.020, a mature tree is defined as any Oak tree measuring eight (8) inches or more in trunk diameter, and/or any other species of tree that measures ten (10) inches or more in diameter, and any multitrunk tree having a total circumference of 38 inches or more, with at least one (1) trunk having a minimum diameter of four (4) inches. The diameter must be measured at a point three (3) feet above the ground at the base of the tree. The 17 mature trees that will be removed consist of one (1) Bishop Pine, 12 California Pepper, three (3) White Ash, and one (1) Carrotwood. One Mexican Fan palm tree will be removed; however, since it’s not a canopy/shade tree, it doesn’t require a replacement tree.
The City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance also requires a two (2) for one (1) replacement with minimum 15-gallon box tree(s), or other replacement of equivalent value and size, be replanted within the subject property. For the removal of 17 mature trees, the Applicant will be required to replant 34 trees in compliance with the Code. The conceptual landscape plan (Attachment 4, Sheets L1 and L2) includes a total of 40 replacement trees, which will include the 34 required replacement trees. The proposed trees are each 24-inch box trees comprised of fifteen (15) Brisbane box, six (6) Forest Pansy Redbud, ten (10) Australian Willow, and nine (9) Canary Island Pine. The landscape plan will be required to identify which are the replacement trees.

Building Design
The proposed 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building will consist of two units within one (1) building. Unit 1 will be 24,193 square feet in floor area with a 2,000 square foot mezzanine, and Unit 2 will be 35,556 square feet in floor area with a 2,000 square foot mezzanine. Each unit will include a 1,000 square foot office area included within the aforementioned floor areas. The building will have varying heights, including tower-like elements at various locations to break up the massing, and will have a total height of 41 feet. The design of the building incorporates various architectural elements to help break up the building mass and elevations, which includes the following (Figures 4 & 5 and Attachment 4):
• 18-inch decorative cornice and raised parapet walls
• Stainless steel wall trellis beneath recessed archways • Pineapple grove inset medallions above glazed archways • Dark bronze-colored mullions for aluminum storefront windows and doors • Decorative downspouts
• Decorative steel canopy over entrance doors/corner towers • 4-foot-high base molding with smooth finish coating

Figure 5 – East Elevation at Cataract Street.
The building design is comparable to other existing light manufacturing buildings located within the same area along Allen Avenue. Therefore, the proposed concrete tilt-up warehouse/office building is not out of character with the existing neighborhood.
Development Standards
The proposal will be constructed to comply with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone, including setbacks, height, etc. as follows:
Code Requirement Proposed
Front Yard Setback 25’-0” 25’-0”
East Side Yard Setback 10’-0” 20’-0”
Rear Yard Setback None 52’-0”
West Side Yard Setback None 47’-0”
Minimum Lot Depth 100’-0” 375’-0”
Building Height Conform to height limits of CBC 41’-0”
Parking 54 stalls + 4 motorcycle stalls 56 stalls + 4 motorcycle stalls Driveway Width 40’-0” 40’-0”
Lot Coverage N/A
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed for this request. The City Council may recommend changes to the project or may recommend denial of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Zone Change 21- 0001, Lot Merger 21-0001, DPRB 21-0002, and TRP 21-0004. However, denying any individual action is recommending denial of the project, as the project may not move forward without all of the actions being approved.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed development is a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and an Initial Study was prepared to determine possible environmental impacts. On the basis of the Initial Study, which indicated that all potential environmental impacts from the project were less than significant or could be mitigated to a level of insignificance, a MND was prepared pursuant to CEQA guidelines. The MND was circulated for the required 20-day public review period from March 7, 2023, until March 27, 2023. Staff received two (2) comments during the comment period, one from a nearby resident who expressed concerns with traffic congestion, and loss of street parking, and one from the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation who stated that they will not be requesting consultation. These comments, and any responses, have been provided in Exhibit A to Attachment 1, Response to Comments.

A complete copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is on file and can be viewed in the Planning Division at 245 E. Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, California; and WHEREAS, the City gave notice of its intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration to (a) the public pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (b) individuals and organizations, if any, that previously submitted written requests for notice pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (c) responsible and trustee and other agencies with jurisdiction over resources that will affected by the Proposed Project pursuant to Section 15073(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and (d) the Clerk of the County of Los Angeles pursuant to Section 15072(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, on May 28, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing, notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law to consider the Zone Change and to hear and consider evidence for and against the proposed Project and related actions and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Commissioners at the hearing, the City Council now finds as follows:
A. The proposed Zone Change will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
The Zone Change will allow the development of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building, which will be consistent with the existing light industrial buildings adjacent to the project area. The surrounding zoning to the north, east and west is currently Light Manufacturing (M-1). Additionally, the Zone Change is required pursuant to Government Code Section 65860 to provide consistency between the zoning and the General Plan Land Use designation. Therefore, the Zone Change will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
B. The proposed Zone Change will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The Zone Change will allow the development of a new 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building being proposed in conjunction with this request.
The affected parcels were occupied by nine (9) single-family residences. The Zone Change will facilitate the development of a new warehouse/office building, which will provide additional job opportunities for current residents. The new development will include new infrastructure throughout the project area to include, but not limited to, storm drain and sewer, and off-site improvements such as new sidewalks and the removal of several overhead utility lines. Therefore, the Zone Change will improve the overall area and will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
C. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed Zone Change from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1) will provide consistency between the zoning and General Plan Land Use designation, which is currently Industrial. Additionally, the Zone Change is required pursuant to Government Code Section 65860 to provide consistency between the zoning and the General Plan Land Use designation.
Ordinance 1306 Page 3
Zone Change 21-0001
May 28, 2024
The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element as follows:
Land Use Element Goal L-4: Plan and create an urban form that efficiently utilizes urban infrastructure and services. Plan for orderly growth rather than leap frog development.
Objective 4.1: Promote future land use and development patterns which reduce costs of infrastructure construction, encourages transit to make better use of existing facilities, and achieve a good match between future growth and phasing of existing facilities or expansion of new ones.
The proposed Zone Change will be consistent with the uses to the north, west and east, and will allow for a contiguous area of M-1 zoning, eliminating an instance of leap frog development where industrial uses surrounded a residentially zoned area. The new zoning will also help to achieve a good match between the current industrial zoned properties and new industrial development on the properties to be rezoned.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the City Council approves Zone Change 21-0001 changing the zoning classification for the subject properties as set forth on the Land Use Map in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

Resolution 2024-27 Page 2
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 May 28, 2024
WHEREAS, a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines to evaluate the physical environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for a 20-day public review on March 7, through March 27, 2023 and was also made available for review on the City’s website at www.sandimasca.gov. A complete copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is on file and can be viewed in the Planning Division at 245 E. Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, California; and NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the City Council at the hearing, and subject to the Conditions attached as “Exhibit A”, the City Council now finds as follows:
Development Plan Review Findings
A. The development of the site in accordance with the development plan is suitable for the use or development intended.
The proposed development consists of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building, which will require a zone change, lot merger, removal of 17 mature trees, and approval of a development plan for site plan layout and architectural review of the new warehouse building. The proposed building will be located at the southeast corner of the site, and a new drive aisle with parking will wrap around the building along the west and north property lines and will be accessed from Allen Avenue and Cataract Street. A truck loading dock will be located along the west elevation of the building and will service both proposed units within the new warehouse building, and a trash enclosure will also be constructed adjacent to the drive aisle along the west property line. The building will have varying heights, including tower-like elements at various locations to break up the massing, and will have a total height of 41 feet. The design of the building incorporates various architectural elements to help break up the building mass and elevations. New landscaping, including replacement trees will be installed throughout the site. Therefore, the proposed project will be constructed in a manner that will be compatible with adjacent light manufacturing buildings, in compliance with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone, subject to the conditions of approval.
B. The total development is so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety and general welfare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property.
The subject site is located within an established light manufacturing and warehousing corridor with similar developments. The building design is comparable to other existing light manufacturing buildings located within the same area along Allen Avenue. Therefore, the proposed concrete tilt-up warehouse/office building is not out of character with the existing neighborhood. The project requires a total of 54 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces, and the project is proposing 56 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces in compliance with the Code requirement. The project will be accessed via two (2) driveways located on Allen Avenue and Cataract Avenue. In an effort to reduce impacts to Allen Avenue, Condition of approval No. 69 has been included to require that truck ingress be limited to the Cataract Avenue driveway and that the Applicant also install signing and striping improvements to prevent truck ingress from Allen Avenue. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will also be carried out throughout the duration of the project’s construction to ensure that environmental impacts associated with the project are mitigated to less than significant in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, the
Resolution 2024-27 Page 3
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 May 28, 2024
project will comply with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone to the extent physically possible and the Applicant’s use of high-quality materials for the new building design will be done in a manner to ensure public health, general welfare, and prevent adverse effects on the neighboring properties.
C. The development is consistent with all elements of the general plan and is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning code and other ordinances and regulations of the city.
As part of the project and in compliance with Government Code Section 65860 the subject site will be rezoned from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1), which will provide consistency with the General Plan land use designation of Industrial. Therefore, the proposed project meets the intent of the General Plan land use designation of Industrial and will comply with all zoning standards of the proposed M-1 zone, including setbacks, height, etc. The proposed site improvements in conjunction with the development will enhance the existing streets and and will be consistent with all of the elements of the General Plan, M-1 zone, and all other ordinances and regulations of the City, to the extent physically possible.
Tree Removal Findings
D. It is reasonable to remove the trees because the continued existence at the location prevents the reasonable development of the subject property.
The 17 trees proposed for removal would prevent the reasonable development of the subject property. The trees to be removed are located within or adjacent to the proposed building pad location, and within the proposed drive aisle which warrants their removal.
As required by the City’s Tree Preservation ordinance, the Applicant will be required to plant 34 replacement trees. The conceptual landscape plan includes a total of 40 replacement trees, which will include the 34 required replacement tree.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the City Council approves Lot Merger 21-0001, Development Plan Review Board 21-0002 and Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 subject to compliance with the Conditions in “Exhibit A” attached hereto and incorporated herein.

MITIGATION MEASURES
76. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - MM BIO-1: Pre-Construction Breeding Bird Survey. If construction is anticipated to commence during the nesting season (between January 1 and August 31 of any given year, or as determined by a local CDFW office), a qualified avian biologist shall conduct a preconstruction nesting bird survey no earlier than one week prior to construction.
To be in compliance with the MBTA and Fish and Game Code, and to avoid impacts or take of migratory non-game breeding birds, their nests, young, and eggs, the following measures will be implemented. The measures below will help to reduce direct and indirect impacts caused by construction on migratory non-game breeding birds to less than significant levels:
i. Project activities that will remove or disturb potential nest sites, such as open ground, trees, shrubs, grasses, and burrows, during the breeding season would be a potentially significant impact if migratory non-game breeding birds are present. Project activities that will remove or disturb potential nest sites will be scheduled outside the breeding bird season to avoid potential direct impacts on migratory non-game breeding birds protected by the MBTA and Fish and Game Code. The breeding bird nesting season is typically from February 15 through September 15 but can vary slightly from year to year, usually depending on weather conditions. Removing all physical features that could potentially serve as nest sites will also help to prevent birds from nesting within the project site during the breeding season and during construction activities. ii. If project activities cannot be avoided from February 15 through September 15, a qualified biologist will conduct a pre-construction breeding bird survey for breeding birds and active nests or potential nesting sites within the limits of project disturbance. The survey will be conducted at least seven days prior to the onset of scheduled activities, such as mobilization and staging. It will end no more than three days prior to vegetation, substrate, and structure removal and/or disturbance.
iii. If no breeding birds or active nests are observed during the pre-construction survey or they are observed and will not be impacted, project activities may begin and no further mitigation will be required.
Resolution 2024-27 Page 14
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 May 28, 2024
iv. If a breeding bird territory or an active bird nest is located during the pre-construction survey and will potentially be impacted, the site will be mapped on engineering drawings, and a no-activity buffer zone will be marked (fencing, stakes, flagging, orange snow fencing, etc.) a minimum of 100 feet in all directions or 500 feet in all directions for listed bird species and all raptors. The biologist will determine the appropriate buffer size based on the type of activities planned near the nest and the type of bird that created the nest. Some bird species are more tolerant than others of noise and activities occurring near their nest. The buffer zone will not be disturbed by construction or other activity until a qualified biologist has determined that the nest is inactive, the young have fledged, the young are no longer being fed by the parents, the young have left the area, or the young will no longer be impacted by project activities. Periodic monitoring by a biologist will be performed to determine when nesting is complete. Once the nesting cycle has finished, project activities may begin within the buffer zone. v. If listed bird species are observed within the project site during the pre-construction survey, the biologist will immediately map the area and notify the appropriate resource agency to determine suitable protection measures and/or mitigation measures and to determine if additional surveys or focused protocol surveys are necessary. Project activities may begin within the area only when concurrence is received from the appropriate resource agency.
vi. Birds or their active nests will not be disturbed, captured, handled, or moved. Active nests cannot be removed or disturbed; however, nests can be removed or disturbed if determined inactive by a qualified biologist.
77. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - MM BIO-2: Mature Significant Tree Replacement Measure.
There are 19 trees on the project site that are designated as mature significant trees as per the City’s tree preservation ordinance (City of San Dimas, 2006), 17 of which are proposed for removal. The following species and number per species of mature significant trees are proposed for removal: one bishop pine, eleven pepper trees, three white ash, one Mexican fan palm, and one carrotwood. Section 18.162.060 Conditions Imposed of the tree preservation ordinance state that mature significant trees must be replaced using a two-toone ratio with trees that are 15-gallon box trees, or other replacement of equivalent value and size, or as the City deems appropriate. It further states that the replacement trees will be planted within the project site unless the City approves offsite planting. Thus, to replace the 17 mature significant trees that will be removed during the construction of the project, the project proponent will plant 34 fifteen-gallon box trees on the project site. All replacement trees need to be maintained by the project proponent for two years and all other monitoring and maintenance requirements of this section of the tree preservation ordinance must be followed. Furthermore, granting of the tree removal permit is contingent upon meeting the conditions of Section 18.162. 070 Required Findings, of the tree preservation ordinance.
78. CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM CUL-1: Prior to the commencement of grading or excavation, workers conducting construction activities and their foremen will receive Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training from a qualified archaeologist regarding the potential for sensitive archaeological and paleontological resources to be unearthed during grading activities. The workers will be directed to report any unusual specimens of bone, stone, ceramics, or other archaeological artifacts or features observed during grading and/or other construction activities to their foremen and to cease grading activities in the
Resolution 2024-27 Page 15
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 May 28, 2024
immediate vicinity of the discovery until a qualified archaeologist or Native American cultural monitor is notified of the discovery by the Superintendent of the project site and can assess their significance. The WEAP shall be implemented to educate all construction personnel on the area’s environmental conditions and the environmental protection measures that must be adhered to by all workers throughout the duration of project construction.
Training materials shall be language-appropriate for all construction personnel. Upon completion of the WEAP, workers shall sign a form stating that they attend the program, understand all protection measures, and shall abide by all the rules of the WEAP. A record of all trained personnel shall be kept with the construction foreman at the project field construction office and shall be made available to any resource agency personnel. If new construction personnel is added to the project later, the construction foreman shall ensure that new personnel receives training before they start working. The archaeologist shall provide hard copies of the WEAP presentation to the construction foreman.
79. CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM CUL-2: If historical or unique archaeological resources are discovered during construction, the contractor shall halt construction activities in the immediate area and notify the City. An on-call qualified archaeologist shall be notified and afforded the necessary time to recover, analyze, and curate the find(s). The qualified archaeologist shall recommend the extent of archaeological monitoring necessary to ensure the protection of any other resources that may be in the area and afford the necessary time and funds to recover, analyze, and curate the find(s). Construction activities may continue on other parts of the site while the evaluation and treatment of historical or unique archaeological resources take place.
80. CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM CUL-3: If human remains are encountered during excavations associated with this project, all work shall stop within a 30-foot radius of the discovery, and the San Bernardino County Coroner will be notified (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The Coroner will determine whether the remains are of recent human origin or older Native American ancestry. If the coroner, with the aid of the supervising archaeologist, determines that the remains are prehistoric, they will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC will be responsible for designating the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD (either an individual or sometimes a committee) will be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the remains, as required by § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. The MLD will make recommendations within 24 hours of their notification by the NAHC. These recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials (§ 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code).
81. GEOLOGY AND SOILS - MM GEO-1: The project applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist, prior to the issuance of building/grading permit, to remain on-call during project ground-disturbing activities. If paleontological resources are uncovered during project construction, the contractor shall halt construction activities within 50 feet of the find and notify the City. The on-call paleontologist shall be notified and afforded the necessary time and funds to recover, analyze, and curate the find(s). The paleontologist shall curate the find(s) at an accredited repository for paleontological resources such as the Western Science Center near Hemet or the San Bernardino County Museum. Subsequently, the monitor shall remain onsite for the duration of the ground disturbance to ensure the protection of any other resources that are found during construction on the project site.

82. HAZARDOUS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - MM HAZ-1: In the event that the future tenant will handle hazardous materials above the reportable quantity threshold, the lease agreement with the future tenant shall require the tenant to submit a Hazardous Materials Business Plan which would include an inventory of all hazardous materials used, stored, or otherwise managed onsite to the Los Angeles County Fire Department – Health Hazardous Materials Division. The recommendations of the Hazardous Materials Business Plan would be included in the lease agreement (signed by the tenant) as mandatory measures required to be implemented by the tenant.
83. HAZARDOUS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - MM HAZ-2: In the event that the future tenant will handle hazardous materials above the reportable quantity threshold, the lease agreement with the future tenant shall require the tenant, in coordination with the City of San Dimas, to identify routes along which hazardous materials may routinely be transported. If essential facilities such as schools, hospitals, child care centers, or other facilities with special evacuation needs are located along these routes, the future tenant shall develop an emergency response plan that can be implemented in the event of an unauthorized release of hazardous materials. The recommendations of the Emergency Response Plan would be included in the lease agreement (signed by the future tenant) as mandatory measures required to be implemented by the future tenant.
84. NOISE - MM N-1: The construction contractor will use the following source controls when working within 600 feet of occupied residential buildings:
i. Use of noise-producing equipment will be limited to the interval from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, with no construction on Sundays.
ii. For all noise-producing equipment, use types and models that have the lowest horsepower and the lowest noise generating potential practical for their intended use.
iii. The construction contractor will ensure that all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, is properly operating (tuned-up) and lubricated, and that mufflers are working adequately.
iv. Have only necessary equipment onsite.
v. Use manually-adjustable or ambient-sensitive backup alarms.
85. NOISE - MM N-2: When working near adjacent residential uses, the construction contractor will also use the following path controls, except where not physically feasible, when needed:
i. Install portable noise barriers, including solid structures and noise blankets, between the active noise sources and the nearest noise receivers. ii. Temporarily enclose localized and stationary noise sources. iii. Store and maintain equipment, building materials, and waste materials as far as practical from as many sensitive receivers as practical.

86. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-1: Retain a Native American Monitor Prior to Commencement of Ground-Disturbing Activities:
i. The project applicant/lead agency shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation. The monitor shall be retained prior to the commencement of any “ground-disturbing activity” for the subject project at all project locations (i.e., both on-site and any off-site locations that are included in the project description/definition and/or required in connection with the project, such as public improvement work). “Ground-disturbing activity” shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching into native soil and undocumented soils. The monitor(s) will continue their duties until it is determined through consultation with the permittee, City Planning, that monitoring is no longer warranted.
ii. A copy of the executed monitoring agreement shall be submitted to the lead agency prior to the earlier commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, or the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity. iii. The monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the relevant ground-disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed, locations of ground-disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe.
Monitor logs will identify and describe any discovered TCRs, including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, tribal cultural resources, or “TCR”), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial goods. Copies of monitor logs will be provided to the project applicant/lead agency upon written request to the Tribe.
iv. On-site tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the following (1) written confirmation to the Kizh from a designated point of contact for the project applicant/lead agency that all ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve ground-disturbing activities on the project site or in connection with the project are complete; or (2) a determination and written notification by the Kizh to the project applicant/lead agency that no future, planned construction activity and/or development/construction phase at the project site possesses the potential to impact Kizh TCRs.
v. Upon discovery of any TCRs, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery shall cease (i.e., not less than the surrounding 50 feet) and the City notified. Construction activities may continue in other areas outside of the designated protection zone, which shall be delineated with cones, flagging, or fencing. The designated Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist shall evaluate the significance of the find and determine whether the resource uncovered is a TCR.
If its determined that the potential resource is a TCR (as defined by PRC, Section 21074), tribes consulting under AB 52 would be provided a reasonable period of time, typically 5 days from the date of a new discovery is made, to conduct a site visit and make recommendations regarding future ground disturbance activities as well as the treatment of any discovered TCRs. The designated tribe
Resolution 2024-27 Page 18
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 May 28, 2024
monitor/archaeologist shall implement a plan for the treatment and disposition of any discovered TCRs based on the nature of the resource and considering the recommendations of the tribe(s). Implementation of proposed recommendations will be made based on the determination of the City that the approach is reasonable and feasible. The Kizh will recover and retain all discovered TCRs in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, in the Tribe’s sole discretion, and for any purpose, the Tribe deems appropriate, including for educational, cultural, and/or historic purposes.
87. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-2: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects:
i. Native American human remains are defined in PRC 5097.98 (d)(1) as an inhumation or cremation and in any state of decomposition or skeletal completeness. Funerary objects, called associated grave goods in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute. ii. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized on the project site, then all construction activities shall immediately cease. Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 dictates that any discoveries of human skeletal material shall be immediately reported to the County Coroner and all ground-disturbing activities shall immediately halt and shall remain halted until the coroner has determined the nature of the remains. If the coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American or has reason to believe they are Native American, he or she shall contact, by telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission, and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 shall be followed.
iii. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2).
iv. Construction activities may resume in other parts of the project site at a minimum of 200 feet away from discovered human remains and/or burial goods, if the Kizh determines in its sole discretion that resuming construction activities at that distance is acceptable and provides the project manager express consent of that determination (along with any other mitigation measures the Kizh monitor and/or archaeologist deems necessary). (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f).) v. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin (non-TCR) shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes.
vi. Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent further disturbance.

88. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR -3: Procedures for Burials and Funerary Remains:
i. As the Most Likely Descendant ("MLD"), the Koo-nas-gna Burial Policy shall be implemented. To the Tribe, the term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones. In ancient as well as historic times, Tribal Traditions included, but were not limited to, the preparation of the soil for burial, the burial of funerary objects with the deceased, and the ceremonial burning of human remains. ii. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and recovered on the same day, the remains will be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can be moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard should be posted outside of working hours. The Tribe will make every effort to recommend diverting the project and keeping the remains in situ and protected.
If the project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that burials will be removed. iii. In the event preservation in place is not possible despite good faith efforts by the project applicant/developer and/or landowner, before ground-disturbing activities may resume on the project site, the landowner shall arrange a designated site location within the footprint of the project for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or ceremonial objects. Construction activities may continue in other areas outside of the designated protection zone, which shall be delineated with cones, flagging, or fencing.
iv. Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using opaque cloth bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony will be removed to a secure container on site if possible. These items should be retained and reburied within six months of recovery. The site of reburial/repatriation shall be on the project site but at a location agreed upon between the Tribe and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall be no publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered.
v. The Tribe will work closely with the project’s qualified archaeologist to ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically, and respectfully. If data recovery is approved by the Tribe, documentation shall be prepared and shall include (at a minimum) detailed descriptive notes and sketches. All data recovery data recovery-related forms of documentation shall be approved in advance by the Tribe. If any data recovery is performed, once complete, a final report shall be submitted to the applicant, the City, the South Central Coastal Information Center, the Tribe and the NAHC. The Tribe does NOT authorize any scientific study or the utilization of any invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains.
89. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-4: Prior to the commencement of any grounddisturbing activity at the project site, the project applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor from a local culturally-affiliated Gabrielino (Tongva) tribe. A copy of the executed contract shall be submitted to the City of San Dimas Planning Division prior to the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity.
Resolution 2024-27 Page 20
DPRB 21-002, Tree Removal Permit 21-0004 and Lot Merger 21-0001 May 28, 2024
90. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES - MM TCR-5: The Tribal monitor shall only be present on-site during the construction phases that involve ground-disturbing activities. Ground disturbing activities are defined by the Tribe as activities that may include but are not limited to, pavement removal, potholing or auguring, grubbing, tree removals, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching, within the project area. The Tribal Monitor will complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the day’s activities, including construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The on-site monitoring shall end when all ground-disturbing activities on the Project Site are completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and Tribal Monitor have indicated that all upcoming ground-disturbing activities at the Project Site have little to no potential for impacting Tribal Cultural Resources.
91. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES -MM TCR-6: Upon discovery of a Tribal Cultural Resource, construction activities shall cease in the immediate vicinity of the find (not less than the surrounding 60 feet) until the find can be assessed. All Tribal Cultural Resources unearthed by project activities shall be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor as described in MM TCR-4. If the resources are Native American in origin, the monitoring Tribe may retain it/them in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, for educational, cultural, and/or historic purposes.
92. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES -MM TCR-7: If human remains are encountered during excavations associated with this project, all work shall stop within a 60-foot radius of the discovery, and the Los Angeles County Coroner will be notified (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The Coroner will determine whether the remains are of recent human origin or older Native American ancestry. If the coroner, with the aid of the supervising archaeologist, determines that the remains are prehistoric, they will contact the NAHC. The NAHC will be responsible for designating the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLDS (either an individual or sometimes a committee) will be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the remains, as required by § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. The MLD will make recommendations within 24 hours of their notification by the NAHC. These recommendations may include scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials (§ 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code).

warehouse/office multi-tenant building, and a Tree Removal Permit to remove 17 mature trees in conjunction with the project located on a 2.58 acre site located at the northwest corner of Allen Avenue and Cataract Avenue.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared to assess the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The IS/MND was circulated for public review from March 7, 2023 through March 27, 2023.
On March 23, 2023, the Development Plan Review Board recommended approval of DPRB 21-0002, and TRP 21-0004 to the Planning Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Development Plan Review Board recommend that the Planning Commission:
1. Adopt Resolution PC-1667, recommending approval of DPRB 21-0002 and TRP 21-0004 to the City Council.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
1. Adopt Resolution PC-1665, recommending approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration to the City Council.
2. Adopt Resolution PC-1666, recommending approval of Zone Change 21-0001 to the City Council.
3. Adopt Resolution PC-1667, recommending approval of the Lot Merger 21-0001 to the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action. All costs associated with the cost to prepare the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project were borne by the Applicant.
BACKGROUND
On November 24, 2020, City Council authorized the initiation of a Zone Change from Light Agriculture (A-L) to Light Manufacturing (M-1) to allow the Applicant, Ignacio Crespo, O.C.
Engineering & Design, on behalf of the property owner, Allen Industrial Investors LLC to submit entitlement applications to develop a 2.58-acre site comprised of three (3) contiguous parcels that are currently developed with nine (9) single-family homes into a warehouse building.
On January 25, 2021, the Applicant submitted the following applications for the development of the warehouse project:
• Zone Change No. 21-0001 – A request to change the zoning land use classification from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M-1).
IS/MND, ZC 21-0001, LM 21-0001, DPRB 21-0002, TRP 21-0004 Page 3 309 W. Allen Avenue, 917 N. Cataract Avenue, & 929 N. Cataract Avenue For the Meeting of May 4, 2023
• Lot Merger 21-0001 – A request to consolidate three (3) contiguous lots together. • DPRB Case No. 21-0002 – A request for development of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building.
• Tree Removal Permit No. 21-0004 – A request to remove 17 mature trees in conjunction with the project.
To comply with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), on March 31, 2021, Staff released a Request for Proposals seeking proposals from environmental consulting firms to prepare the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project. The consulting firm, UltraSystems Environmental was selected and the IS/MND (Exhibit A to Attachment 1) was circulated for public review from March 7 through March 27, 2023. Additional information is provided on the IS/MND later in the report.
The 2.58-acre subject site consists of three (3) contiguous lots, which will be merged as part of the development process, and was developed with nine (9) vacant single-family residences (See Figure 1). Photos of the subject site and the existing structures are provided in Attachment 5.
Typically, existing structures are not demolished until after the project has received all approvals and building permits have been issued. However, since the homes were vacant, there was several issues related to people occupying the vacant structures that resulted in several responses by the Sheriff’s Department. Therefore, a demolition permit was issued on March 13, 2023 to address the health and safety issues and concerns that have resulted from the structures being vacant.
No other activity, including removal of trees, will occur until after the project has been approved and all permits have been issued.
The project went before the Development Plan Review Board on March 23, 2023. The applications that were under the purview of the Development Plan Review Board (DPRB) included the DPRB application for the design and construction of the new warehouse building, and the Figure 1 – Aerial Map

Tree Removal application to remove 17 mature trees. The project as a whole, which include the aforementioned applications and the Zone Change, Lot Merger application, and the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is being considered by the Planning Commission and will be brought to the City Council at a future meeting. The Board recommended approval of DPRB 21-0002, and TRP 21-0004 to the Planning Commission on March 23, 2023 (Attachment 8).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Zone Change and Lot Merger
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change from the existing zoning of Light Agriculture (A-L) to Light Manufacturing (M-1). The proposed Zone Change consists of three (3) contiguous parcels all of which are owned by the current property owner. The Applicant is also requesting approval of a Lot Merger to consolidate the three (3) contiguous lots together in order to complete the project. The proposed 2.58 acre lot will meet the minimum lot size requirement of 10,000 square feet and the minimum lot dept of 100 feet as required by the proposed M-1 Zone.
The Zoning and General Plan designations for the site and surrounding areas are shown in the following maps (Figure 2) and Table 1 below.

Use Zoning General Plan
Subject Site Single-family residential AL Industrial
North Light industrial building M-1 Industrial
South Single-family residential SF-A8,000 Single-Family Low East Light industrial building M-1 Industrial
West Light industrial building M-1 Industrial
The site is surrounded by developed single-family residences to the south and developed light industrial buildings to the north, east, and west. Photos of the subject site can be found in Attachment 5. The proposed zone change will bring the site into compliance with the General Plan Land Use designation of Industrial and will integrate the parcel to the surrounding industrial zoning thereby making it consistent with the adjacent buildings and uses.
The existing AL land use classification allows for one single-family residential unit per lot. The subject lots are considered to be non-conforming lots due to the fact that they were developed with nine (9) single-family residences; six (6) more than what is currently allowed in the AL zone.
By changing the current zone of AL to M-1, which does not allow residential uses, there will be a net loss of three (3) residential units in the City. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66300, as amended by Senate Bill (SB) 8 in 2021, the zone change from AL to M-1 cannot occur unless another property is rezoned to increase the residential density in the City by at least three (3) units, one per parcel that were allowed under the AL zoning. Furthermore, the final action to approve the rezoning must occur concurrently at the same meeting of the legislative body; in this case, the City Council. The Commission can recommend approval to the City Council of the zone change for the project before them, but the City Council will need to consider another property to upzone residential density at the same meeting. Staff is processing an application for a sevenunit residential subdivision which meets the no net loss criteria. Once the project is ready, it will be presented to the Commission for consideration, and subsequently to the City Council.
Site Description/Improvements
The proposed building will be located at the southeast corner of the site, and a new drive aisle with parking will wrap around the building along the west and north property lines and will be accessed from Allen Avenue and Cataract Street. A truck loading dock will be located along the west elevation of the building and will service both proposed units within the new warehouse building, and a trash enclosure will also be constructed adjacent to the drive aisle along the west property line. A new ten-foot high concrete tilt up screen wall to match the building finish, and an eight-foot high wrought iron sliding gate will be installed at two (2) locations to secure the parking lot. The first one will be located approximately 86 feet north of the Allen Avenue driveway entrance, and the second one will be located in approximately 253 feet west of the Cataract Avenue driveway entrance. There is an existing masonry wall that is shared with the adjacent lots to the west (327 W. Allen Avenue) and north (949 N. Cataract Avenue); therefore, no new perimeter walls will be incorporated into the project. The existing walls will be required to be finished to match the proposed building finish. All site lighting will be required to install fixtures that direct light downward and does not spillover onto adjacent properties. In addition, as part of
IS/MND, ZC 21-0001, LM 21-0001, DPRB 21-0002, TRP 21-0004 Page 6 309 W. Allen Avenue, 917 N. Cataract Avenue, & 929 N. Cataract Avenue For the Meeting of May 4, 2023
the project, the Applicant will be required to install a new sidewalk along their Cataract Avenue frontage, and will be required to underground all existing overhead utility lines that are located along the project frontages.
The project requires a total of 54 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces, and the project is proposing 56 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces in compliance with the Code requirement. As previously mentioned, the project will be accessed via two (2) driveways located on Allen Avenue and Cataract Avenue. In an effort to reduce impacts to Allen Avenue, Condition of approval No. 72 has been included to require that truck ingress be limited to the Cataract Avenue driveway and that the Applicant also install signing and striping improvements to prevent truck ingress from Allen Avenue. Lastly, the project will provide a bicycle rack near the entrance to each unit, which each rack securing up to five (5) bicycles.
New landscaping, including replacement trees discussed later in the report will be installed throughout the site. A conceptual landscaping has been provided for the development (Attachment 6). New landscaped areas subject to compliance with the City’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) will also be incorporated as part of the overall site improvements. The Board may wish to note that the conceptual landscaping plan is likely to be affected by the manner in which Low Impact Development (LID) compliance is reached for water retention and treatment.
Tree Removal
There are a total of 25 trees on site, of which 23 are proposed for removal, per the Tree Removal Plan (Figure 3), as their continued existence would prevent the reasonable development of the subject site. Of the 23 trees proposed for removal, 17 are considered mature trees per the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance. Under the San Dimas Municipal Code Section 18.162.020, a mature tree is defined as any Oak tree measuring eight (8) inches or more in trunk diameter, and/or any other species of tree that measures ten (10) inches or more in diameter, and any multitrunk tree having a total circumference of 38 inches or more, with at least one (1) trunk having a minimum diameter of four (4) inches. The diameter must be measured at a point three (3) feet above the ground at the base of the tree. The 17 mature trees that will be removed consist of one (1) Bishop Pine, 12 California Pepper, three (3) White Ash, and one (1) Carrotwood. One Mexican Fan palm tree will be removed; however, since it’s not a canopy/shade tree, it doesn’t require a replacement tree.
The City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance also requires a two (2) for one (1) replacement with minimum 15-gallon box tree(s), or other replacement of equivalent value and size, be replanted within the subject property. For the removal of 17 mature trees, the Applicant will be required to replant 34 trees in compliance with the Code. The conceptual landscape plan (Attachment 6) includes a total of 40 replacement trees, which will include the 34 required replacement trees.
The proposed trees are each 24-inch box trees comprised of fifteen (15) Brisbane box, six (6) Forest Pansy Redbud, ten (10) Australian Willow, and nine (9) Canary Island Pine. The landscape plan will be required to identify which are the replacement trees.

Building Design
The proposed 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building will consist of two units within one (1) building. Unit 1 will be 24,193 square feet in floor area with a 2,000 square foot mezzanine, and Unit 2 will be 35,556 square feet in floor area with a 2,000 square foot mezzanine. Each unit will include a 1,000 square foot office area included within the aforementioned floor areas. The building will have varying heights, including tower-like elements at various locations to break up the massing, and will have a total height of 41 feet. The design of the building incorporates various architectural elements to help break up the building mass and elevations, which includes the following (Figures 2 & 3 and Attachments 6 & 7):
• 18-inch decorative cornice and raised parapet walls
• Stainless steel wall trellis beneath recessed archways • Pineapple grove inset medallions above glazed archways • Dark bronze colored mullions for aluminum storefront windows and doors • Decorative downspouts
• Decorative steel canopy over entrance doors/corner towers W. Allen Avenue

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Zone Change and associated discretionary actions is considered a “Project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seg.) “CEQA;” therefore, an Initial Study (IS) was prepared to determine possible environmental impacts. On the basis of the IS, which indicated that all potential environmental impacts from the Project were less than significant or could be mitigated to a level of insignificance, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Exhibit A to Attachment 1). Furthermore, to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented, a Mitigation Monitoring

and Reporting Program (Attachment 4) has been prepared for the project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15097, which specifies responsible departments/parties, monitoring frequency, timing and method of verification and possible sanctions for non-compliance with mitigation measures.
As previously mentioned, the IS/MND was prepared by UltraSystems Environmental to assess the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The IS/MND was circulated for comments and public review from March 7 through March 27, 2023. The IS/MND was made available on the City’s website and at the Planning Counter for public review. In addition, a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted at the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office and the City posting boards and Website. Only two comments were received during the public review period. One was from a resident located on the south side of Allen Avenue, and had concerns with traffic congestion, and loss of street parking if employees and customers parked on the south side of Allen Avenue. The second comment was from the Yuhaaviatam of San Manual Nation tribe informing the City that the project is located outside of their territory and would not be requesting to receive consulting party status for the project. While both comments were outside of the CEQA purview, a Response to Comments was prepared for both comments (Exhibit B to Attachment 1).

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT OF 1970, AS AMENDED.
WHEREAS, On January 25, 2021, Ignacio Crespo submitted applications for a Zone Change, Lot Merger, Development Plan Review Board Case, and a Tree Removal Permit to facilitate the development of a new concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building; and WHEREAS, the Project affects those certain properties generally described as:
309 W. Allen Avenue, 917 N. Cataract Avenue, and 929 N. Cataract Avenue (APN’S 8392-016—008, -048, AND -047); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”) the State of California Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (commencing with Section 15000 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the “CEQA Guidelines”), the City is the “lead agency” for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents for the Proposed Project; and WHEREAS, a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines to evaluate the physical environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for a 20-day public/responsible agency review on March 7, 2023 through March 27, 2023 and was also made available for review on the City’s website at www.sandimasca.gov. A complete copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is on file and can be viewed in the Planning Division at 245 E. Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, California; and
WHEREAS, the City gave notice of its intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration to (a) the public pursuant to Section 157072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (b) individuals and organizations, if any, that previously submitted written requests for notice pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (c) responsible and trustee and other agencies with jurisdiction over resources that will be affected by the Proposed Project pursuant to Section 15073(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and (d) the Clerk of the County of Los Angeles pursuant to Section 15072(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, The Director of Community Development caused a notice of date, hour and place for a public hearing on the Proposed Project before the Planning Commission to be published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on April 14, 2023 and mailed to all property owners within 300 feet; and
WHEREAS, on May 4, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law to consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to hear and consider
RESOLUTION PC-1665 Page 2
evidence for and against the proposed Project and related actions and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has carefully and independently reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented with respect to the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, including, but not limited to, the staff reports, studies, and all written and oral testimony presented; and WHEREAS, failure to adopt Resolution PC-1665 constitutes a denial for the Proposed Project as all other associated applications cannot be approved without the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at its hearing on May 4, 2023, and for the reasons discussed by the Commissioners at the hearing, and subject to the Conditions attached as “Exhibit A”, the Planning Commission now finds as follows:
A. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
B. All actions required to be taken by applicable law related to the preparation circulation, and review of the MND have been taken.
C. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared consisting of the Initial Study, all comments and recommendations received during the public review period, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The MND was posted on the City’s website at www.sandimasca.gov on March 7, 2023. On the basis of the Initial Study prepared for the Proposed Project, it has been determined that the Proposed Project may have a potential significant effect on the environment which, however, will be mitigated to a level that is less than significant and therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for a period of not less than 20 days pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15105(b). Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that it adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration as adequate to assess the environmental impacts of the Proposed Project, based on the findings contained herein and in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and find, on the basis of the whole record that there is no substantial evidence that the Proposed Project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the recommendation for approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the City of San Dimas Planning Commission’s independent judgment and analysis.
C. The Planning Commission further recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (attached hereto as Exhibit A), as this Proposed Project would not result in any significant, adverse environmental impacts with the mitigation imposed. The full record is available for review in the Planning Division.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that:
SECTION 1. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate to assess the environmental impacts of the Proposed Project, based on the findings contained herein and in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and, on the basis of the whole record, there is no substantial evidence that the Proposed Project will have a significant effect on the environment.

A complete copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is on file and can be viewed in the Planning Division at 245 E. Bonita Avenue, San Dimas, California; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Commissioners at the hearing, and subject to the Conditions attached as “Exhibit A”, the Planning Commission now finds as follows:
Development Plan Review Findings
A. The development of the site in accordance with the development plan is suitable for the use or development intended.
The proposed development consists of a 63,749 square-foot concrete tilt-up warehouse/office multi-tenant building, which will require a zone change, lot merger, removal of 17 mature trees, and approval of a development plan for site plan layout and architectural review of the new warehouse building. The proposed building will be located at the southeast corner of the site, and a new drive aisle with parking will wrap around the building along the west and north property lines and will be accessed from Allen Avenue and Cataract Street. A truck loading dock will be located along the west elevation of the building and will service both proposed units within the new warehouse building, and a trash enclosure will also be constructed adjacent to the drive aisle along the west property line. The building will have varying heights, including tower-like elements at various locations to break up the massing, and will have a total height of 41 feet. The design of the building incorporates various architectural elements to help break up the building mass and elevations. New landscaping, including replacement trees will be installed throughout the site. Therefore, the proposed project will be constructed in a manner that will be compatible with adjacent light manufacturing buildings, in compliance with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone, subject to the conditions of approval.
B. The total development is so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety and general welfare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property.
The subject site is located within an established light manufacturing and warehousing corridor with similar developments. The building design is comparable to other existing light manufacturing buildings located within the same
RESOLUTION PC-1667 Page 3
area along Allen Avenue. Therefore, the proposed concrete tilt-up warehouse/office building is not out of character with the existing neighborhood.
The project requires a total of 54 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces, and the project is proposing 56 parking spaces and four (4) motorcycle spaces in compliance with the Code requirement. The project will be accessed via two (2) driveways located on Allen Avenue and Cataract Avenue. In an effort to reduce impacts to Allen Avenue, Condition of approval No. 69 has been included to require that truck ingress be limited to the Cataract Avenue driveway and that the Applicant also install signing and striping improvements to prevent truck ingress from Allen Avenue. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will also be carried out throughout the duration of the project’s construction to ensure that environmental impacts associated with the project are mitigated to less than significant in accordance with CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, the project will comply with the development standards of the proposed M-1 zone to the extent physically possible and the Applicant’s use of high-quality materials for the new building design will be done in a manner to ensure public health, general welfare, and prevent adverse effects on the neighboring properties.
C. The development is consistent with all elements of the general plan and is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning code and other ordinances and regulations of the city.
As part of the project and in compliance with Government Code Section 65860 the subject site will be rezoned from Light Agriculture (AL) to Light Manufacturing (M1), which will provide consistency with the General Plan land use designation of Industrial. Therefore, the proposed project meets the intent of the General Plan land use designation of Industrial and will comply with all zoning standards of the proposed M-1 zone, including setbacks, height, etc. The proposed site improvements in conjunction with the development will enhance the existing streets and and will be consistent with all of the elements of the General Plan, M1 zone, and all other ordinances and regulations of the City, to the extent physically possible.
Tree Removal Findings
D. It is reasonable to remove the trees because the continued existence at the location prevents the reasonable development of the subject property.
The 17 trees proposed for removal would prevent the reasonable development of the subject property. The trees to be removed are located within or adjacent to the proposed building pad location, and within the proposed drive aisle which warrants their removal. As required by the City’s Tree Preservation ordinance, the Applicant will be required to plant 34 replacement trees. The conceptual landscape plan includes a total of 40 replacement trees, which will include the 34 required replacement tree.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the Planning Commission APPROVES Conditional Use Permit No. 23-0002 subject to compliance with the Conditions in “Exhibit A” attached hereto and incorporated herein, and that the decision shall be final unless a timely appeal is filed with the City Council. A copy of this Resolution shall be mailed to the Applicant/Property Owner.
