The proposed project involves demolition of the existing buildings and surface parking lot and the construction, operation, and maintenance of one concrete tilt-up industrial warehouse building (Type III-B construction) totaling approximately 334,776 gross sq ft of building floor area comprised of 322,776 sq ft of warehouse space, 6,000 sq ft of ground floor office space, and 6,000 sq ft of mezzanine office space. The total footprint of the proposed building would be 328,776 sq ft. In total, the 14.8-acre project site would be developed with approximately 12.7 acres of impervious surface, which results in 86 percent impervious coverage. Approximately 2.1 acres of the project site (approximately 14 percent) would be developed with landscaping and other pervious surface area. The building would be supported by a slab-on-grade foundation and would include 44 loading dock doors. The proposed project would meet the parking requirements of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code (Chapter 17.64, Parking and Loading Standards; 17.64.100 D.1, Trailer Parking Required) by providing 149 automobile parking stalls and 44 truck trailer parking stalls. Of the total automobile parking stalls, 19 stalls would be EV Capable, and 6 stalls would be EV Ready (as defined by the California Green Building Standards Code). In addition, one of the truck trailer parking stalls would meet EV Capable requirements. The project site would be surrounded by security fencing with two gated access points at the northeast and northwest corners of the property. The proposed project would also include the creation of a new internal vehicle circulation system, exterior lighting and signage, and landscape areas. Construction of the proposed project would occur over approximately 12 months anticipated to begin in March 2026 and end in March 2027. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would occur in the following stages: demolition and site clearing, grading and excavation, building construction and infrastructure improvements, architectural coatings, and paving. No pile driving would be performed. Construction activities would be anticipated to occur between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Grading would be balanced onsite and would involve approximately 25,000 cubic yards of cut and 25,000 cubic yards of fill. Up to 14.3 acres of the proposed project site could be disturbed on a daily basis during construction. Approximately 165 tons of debris would be exported off-site during construction of the proposed project. The proposed project would involve grading and excavating site soils to depths up to 5 feet below existing grade. The type of tenant that would occupy the proposed building and the resulting business activities that would be conducted are not known at this time. For the purpose of evaluating the proposed project’s environmental effects in the EIR, the proposed building is assumed to be used as a warehouse distribution facility (i.e., general warehouse occupancy). The proposed project assumes that cold storage would not be included. It is assumed that operations could occur on a 24-hour, 7-day-per-week, basis. Proposed project operations are anticipated to commence in 2027. Based on industry average, the proposed project is anticipated to accommodate approximately 258 employees daily. The proposed project requires the approval of its design review application, conditional use permit (CUP), and Master Plan application from the City.
