Staff Report
DATE: February 28, 2001
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Emily Wimer
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 98-08 - BASELINE BARGAIN CENTER
A review of the previous request to revoke the Conditional Use Permit for the
operation of a warehouse, presently used for retail sales, in the General Commercial
District, located at 9456 Roberds Street - APN 202-092-08.
BACKG ROUND: At the meeting of January 10, 2001, the Commission addressed public comments
regarding the applicant's request to allow retail use and additional time to comply with the
outstanding issues. The Commission concluded the review and directed staff to set a public headng
to consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. At the meeting of February 14, 2001, the
applicant presented the latest information including plans to bring the existing parking lot up to code
with assistance from the newly hired contractor. Since the meeting, the applicant has completed the
upgrades to the existing parking lot including double striping the 14 parking spaces, landscaping,
repaying, and re-striping the "no parking" area at the front of the building. The existing wheel stops
were also relocated to the new parking area. The applicant has made a good faith effort in resolving
the outstanding site compliance issues. The Commission also requested that the applicant present
a schedule that would clarify their intent to process plans for the retail use of their properly.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has not yet received a project schedule or a phasing plan for the ultimate site improvements
desired by the applicant. Staff, the applicant and the contractor have met on the issues and staff
anticipates receiving a schedule and phasing plan on Tuesday, February 27, 2001. Since staff was
unable to review it for this report, an oral report will be given at the Planning Commission meeting.
If the applicant continues to make a good faith effort in completing their Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) Application, staff would support a 60-day continuance of this revocation hearing to allow the
applicant additional time to complete his application for retail use. The application will be a non-
construction CUP application for retail use, and therefore, the City Planner will be the headng officer
for the request unless otherwise directed by the Planning Commission. The phasing plan and
schedule will be considered in conjunction with their Conditional Use Permit application. If within the
next 60 days the applicant is unable to successfully complete the CUP application process the
matter of revocation would come before the Planning Commission again at the end of April.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
H. REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 98-08 - BASELINE BARGAIN CENTER - A
periodic review of the business operation located at 9456 Roberds Street- APN: 202-092-008.
Emily Wimer, Assistant Planner, gave the staff report and noted that she had received a letter from
Lora Iftikhar (the applicant) just prior to the meeting. The letter cites the applicant's perspective on
their efforts to be in compliance and their desire to continue operating their retail business even if all
the requirements have not been met.
Commissioner Mannerino confirmed that at this hearing the Commission decides if we will have a
Revocation Hearing and that the Commission does not decide upon revocation at this time.
Ms. Wimer indicated that is correct.
Chairman McNiel asked if this is a public hearing.
Brad Buller, City Planner explained that it is and that this Evidentiary Hearing allows evidence to be
presented in regard to the operation of the Conditional Use Permit and that the Planning
Commission is to decide if enough evidence is presented to warrant a Revocation Headng at a later
date.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Planning Commission Minutes -14- January 1 O, 2001
Lord Iftikhar stated she is the applicant and that she and her husband own and operate the Baseline
Bargain Center. She indicated that some measures have been taken since the City issued a
Business
License Correction Letter in July of 1999. Ms. Iftikhar noted that more parking area has
been purchased and is in escrow, the temporary parking area has been stripped and "No Parking"
signs have been posted, and that they are working towards compliance to gain a retail CUP. She
noted that she felt the cimumstances are extenuating such as: A misunderstanding at the Building
and Safety Counter regarding the stamp on their plans which indicated "No Permit Required,"
Personal savings used to open the business, her husband's lack of understanding, communication,
and detail in the process of obtaining a CUP and their unwillingness to give up their income by
closing the store during the compliance process. She added that they have been overwhelmed with
the complicated CUP process and yet she feels with guidance they can make reasonable financial
investments to come into compliance for a retail CUP. She requested more time to meet the
requirements.
Commissioner Stewart asked if Ms. Iftikhar owns her property.
Ms Iftikhar indicated she does and that the property purchased for the additional parking is ready to
close escrow.
Mr. Buller noted that the copy of the Resolution of Approval for their operation specifically notes that
it is for warehousing only and indicates any other use for the property would require a new CUP. He
added that the parking requirements are also specified in the resolution and that the City has tried to
get them to comply for more than a year. Mr. Buller noted that Mr. Iftikhar was asked at that time if
he understood the requirements and he said "yes." Mr. Buller added that this was also explained to
their architect. Mr. Buller assented to the fact that improvements of this property for a retail business
are costly and that it is'likely they hoped to "phase in" the improvements along with running a retail
business. Mr. Bulier then stated that the only issue tonight before the Commissioners is whether
there is enough evidence to bring the item back for a Revocation Hearing.
Norm MacKenzie, Executive Director of the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce stated he
has met with Mr. Buller and the Iftikhars to help them move in the right direction. He noted that he
feels the Iftikhars are contributing to the community and although they were ignorant to the process,
he felt they had made progress towards compliance. He voiced his support and suggested they be
given a time line to get them in compliance.
Chairman McNiel interjected that in reality, the City has thousan,~ls of small businesses that have
complied with the process and that when someone else does not comply either because of
ignorance or intentionally, is that fair to those who do.
Mr. MacKenzie agreed that it is not fair and it is our job to help them get in compliance and to set the
code of ethics in business practices. He noted that he became involved late in the process.
Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Tolstoy asked Mr. Buller if the applicant is aware of the costs that may be involved to
bring the Roberds Street and parking up to City standards.
Mr. Buller stated he has asked Mr. Iftikhar if he can comply with the parking requirements and he
does not give a straight answer.
Commissioner Mannerino stated that the issue is the evidence and the fact that they hold a permit
in violation by running a retail store. He suggested they come into
and
they
admit
they
are
compliance and then set a time line to meet our parking standards for a retail use.
Planning Commission Minutes -15- January 10, 2001
Commissioner Stewart asked the applicant to bring with them their future plans and that she is
interested in their vision for their business. She expressed concern and doubt that the issues on
Roberds Street can be overcome. She encouraged them to work with staff.
Chairman McNiel voiced his agreement for the applicants to work with staff and that staff will help
them wherever possible.
Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Tolstoy to bring the item back to the Planning
Commission for a Revocation Hearing at the soonest available date as an advertised public hearing.
Motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: MANNERINO, MCNIEL, STEWART, TOLSTOY
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: MACIAS, - carried
ADJOURNMENT
Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Stewart to adjourn. The Planning Commission

BASELINE BARGAIN CENTER - A review of property phasing plan to support Conditional Use Permit for
the operation of a retail establishment in the General Commercial District, located et 9456 Roberds Street ,
-- APN: 202-092-008.
PHASE ONE
Development of on-site parking for 9456 Roberds Street -.. 14 spaces (as required by
CUP 98-08).
Landscape/Irri.qation: Landscape planters have been completed with an automatic
irrigation system that provides adequate coverage and irrigation. The landscaping
includes 15-cjallon trees, and 5-gallon shrubs. Cement curb-style landscape planter
perimeters have not yet been completed pending improved weather conditions. The
cement planter perimeters will be completed upon the 2nd or 3rd day upon the cessation
of the rain (a day or two allowed for the soil supporting the, cement to dry out from rain
saturation).
Security Gate: A decorative wrought-iron security gate has been installed at the
parking lot entrance according to approved plan specifications.
Parkin,q Lot Space Stripin(~: The parking lot space striping has not yet been
completed because of rainy weather. At least 4 complete~ rainless days are required
to appropriately apply the slurry material, allow it to dry completely, and correctly apply
the space striping. Unfortunately, we have not had 4 completely rainless days to
accomplish this since February 14, 2001. However, upon the first available forecast of
several consecutive days without rain our intention is to pressure-wash the parking lot
(day one), slurry the parking lot and Roberts street frontage (day two), allow slurry to
completely dry/adhere (day three), and perform space striping (day four).
Parkin.q Headers: The parking headers have now been removed from the Roberds :
Street frontage, and will be installed in the parking lot during completion of the ,
slurry/spacing project (pending improved weather).
Parkin(~ Sic~naRe: "No Parking" signage will be posted on the Roberds Street frontage
following the completion of the slurry/striping project (pending improved weather).

BACKGROUND: Last November, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the related
land use changes (General Plan Amendment 98-02, Victoria Cornmunity Plan Amendment 98-02
and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment 98-02) to the City Council. On December 19, 2000, the
City Council approved the land use changes. As a follow up to the land use changes, the applicant
submitted the above applications for the next level of review for the ¥ictoda Arbors project. They are
requesting approval of the Development Agreement, Development Review for the Victoda Arbors
Master Plan, a Tentative Parcel Map, and a Tentative Tract Map. Staff has been working closely
with the applicant by meeting weekly with their team to assist them in preparing a plan that best
meets the City's requirements. The applicant has been very cooperative and accommodating. The
project schedule, however, is very aggressive. The Planning Commission has conducted three
workshops with the applicant to review their development proposal on January 10, January 24, and
February 14, 2001. Minutes of the workshops are attached for reference and as Exhibit "A."

ANALYSIS: This section of the report will summarize and analyze the individual entitlement
applications as it relates to the Victoria Arbors project.
A. Development Aqreement 00-04: A Development Agreement is a contract between the City
and the applicant. A Development Agreement is beneficial to both the City and the applicant.
The benefits for the City include assurance that the major streets such as Day Creek
Boulevard, Base Line Road, Church Street, Victoda Park Lane, and amenities to the
community such as open space, parks, and a school will be built. In this case, the City will
further get assurance that the applicant will sell approximately 55 acres to the City, which will
facilitate the development of the regional center. In turn, the City assures that the applicant
can develop and complete their project according to the approved Master Plan for a longer
period of time than a normal tentative tract map. Subsequent projects such as Development
Reviews for house products or commemial development within the Master Plan are still
subject to the City's normal discretionary review process. The City Attorney is in the process
of reviewing the Development Agreement and will forward the final version for the
Commission's review at the meeting.
D. Victoria Arbors Master Plan - DR 01-04: The proposed project is within the last village of the
Victoria Community Plan. A condition of approval for changing the land use for this village to a
Mixed Use Zone last December requires that the applicant create a Master Plan with the
submittal of a subdivision map. The master plan entitled "Victoria Arbors Master Plan" serves
as a zoning code for guiding development within the project area. The document establishes
an overall land use arrangement under a Mixed Use zone and a design theme that creates a
unique identity for the Arbors Village. It contains site planning, streetscapes, community entry
design, amhitectural and house plotting standards and guidelines supplemented by colorful
pictures that illustrate the design concepts. There is language in the master plan that requires
master planning for any commemial development adjacent to the existing winery property.
The master plan also shows special village features such as an elementary school, a
neighborhood park, greenway buffedng and paseos.
At the January 24th workshop, the applicant presented the concept of the Master Plan to the
Planning Commission, and again on February 14th, the Planning Commission conducted a
second design review workshop on the master plan. The Commission supported the concept
and the format of the master plan document. The Commission directed the applicant to
continue to work with staff in fine-tuning the text and the graphics in the document to ensure
that the vision of creating an up-scale, high quality, and unique residential village, is carried
throughout the plan. A condition of approval requiring the final version including all the
document refinements be reviewed and approved by City Planner has been included.
E. Tentative Parcel Map 15641: The Tentative Parcel Map is intended to create large parcels for
the purposes of financing, create parcels that follow the Master Plan Land Use and Circulation
pattern, and create parcels that will be sold to the City under the terms of the Development
Agreement.
F. Tentative Tract Map 15974: The applicant also proposes a residential subdivision of 554
single family lots and a phasing plan as shown in Exhibit "D." On January 10th, the Planning
Commission conducted a design review workshop on the Tentative Tract Map and the phasing
plan. The subdivision design and phasing plan complies with the Victoria Arbors Master Plan

and all applicable City policies and regulations. The propo=sed maps do provide alternative
development layouts for several "not a part" parcels that are within the project area. Staff has
placed conditions of approval for the necessary public improvements for each phase of
development. A condition of approval has also been placed to ensure the completion of the
proposed park pdor to issuance of building permits for morE: than 50 percent of the total lots.
G. Technical Review Committee: Staff conducted a combined Technical Review and Grading
Committee review on January 24, 2001. All special require~rnents pertaining to the Tentative
Tract Map, Tentative Parcel Map and the Master Plan are included in the attached Resolutions
of Approval, and all standard requirements have been identified in the Standard Conditions of
Approval.
H. Trails Committee: The Trails Committee reviewed the proposed trail and greenway system
within the Victoria Arbors Village at their January 24th meeting. The Committee supported the
proposed trail system and made recommendations to improve the design. Their
recommendations have been incorporated into the Master Plan document or placed as
conditions of approval.
I. Park and Recreation Commission: The Park and Recreation Commission has participated in
the review of the location of the park dudng the review of the land use change. At their
October 19, 2000, meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed and
recommended approval of the location of the park with the condition that the design be subject
to their review. The applicant has continued to work with the Park Development staff to
accomplish this.
J. Environmental Assessment: An Environmental Impact Review (EIR) for the land use
amendments associated with Victoda Arbors was certified as adequate and complete on July
7, 1999. An addendum to the EIR, along with a Statement of Findings and Overriding
Considerations was adopted on December 20, 2000. An Initial Studywas prepared to address
the specific mitigation and environmental impacts of the Development Agreement, the Master
Plan, the Tentative Parcel Map and the Tentative Tract Map. According to the City Attorney, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration is not necessary because the certified Final EIR covers the
proposed project and that there are no more impacts which have not been identified in the
EIR. Based on Section 15183 of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, an addendum to
the EIR would suffice. The City's environmental consultant has modified the environmental
information as an addendum to the EIR, which is attached to the report as Exhibit "F."
Therefore, the issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Notice of Determination are
not required.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public headng in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted with three, 4-foot b3/8-foot public hearing signs, and
notices were mailed to all properly owners within a 1,000 foot radius of the project site.

A. VICTORIA ARBORS - AMERICAN BEAUTY - A review of the Master Plan for residential
development within a project known as Victoria Arbors.
Brad Bullet provided an introduction and explained the purpose of the meeting. He indicated that
since the Commissioners received a copy of the Master Plan document as they entered the room,
the applicant would provide an orientation and description of the Master Plan and the Commission
would be asked only for comments as related to the presentation.
Bob LaCoss, the applicant's representative, provided a presentation of the Master Plan in a chapter-
by-chapter overview. He stated the predominant theme of the Master Plan is "Wine Country" and
this Master Plan will be the guideline used to judge all future Development and Design Review
applications.
Commissioners Macias, Mannerino, Tolstoy, and Stewart indicated that the overall direction of the
Master Plan was acceptable. They thought the neighborhood elements as proposed by the
applicant, including front porches within 10-feet of the front right-of-way, should result in a neighbor-
fdendly environment. They noted garage doors are always to be set back a minimum of 20 feet, and
often much greater, as shown in the Site Planning concepts. They observed that standard street
sections will be used (36-feet curb to curb); however, various design elements will be used to create
the effect of a narrowed streetscape.
Commissioner McNeil was more skeptical of the neighborhood concept. He expressed concerns
that such neighborhoods would be crowded and congested with small front setbacks and street
parking encouraged. Commissioner McNeil encouraged the addition of the wide/shallow lot concept
to the mix, which is not currently represented in the Master Plan.
The applicants responded to the Commissioners by expressing that they are trying to incorporate
many of the New Urbanism concepts that are being encouraged in new communities.
In order to allow staff and Commission additional opportunity to review the details of the Master Plan,
a subsequent workshop was tentatively set for February 14, 2001 to complete review and discussion
of the Master Plan.

A. VICTORIA ARBORS - AMERICAN BEAUTY - A review of the Master Plan for residential
development within a project known as Victoria Arbors.
Brad Buller, City Planner, provided an introduction and explained the purpose of the meeting. He
indicated that the Commissioners had already received a copy of the Master Plan document.
Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report and listed the remaining issues for
discussion and direction from the Commissioners.
Bob Lacoss, the applicant's representative, stated they were willing to work with staff to address
issues identified by staff.
The consensus of the Commission was as follows:
1. Central Spine Street. Change the name to Arbor Lane. Reduce the depth of the left turn lane
as much as needed to be safe. Special streetscape to create a unique boulevard through
increasing the use of hardscape and lawn and closer spacing of trees.
2. Location of Victoria Park Lane trail to Central Spine Street. Directed the applicant to work with
staff to move the trail southerly along the wetland to connect to the Central Spine Street.
3. Directed the applicant to add design criteria and a requirement for master planning of
commercial development adjacent to the winery.
4. Directed the applicant to add language referencing the block south of Church Street, west of
Day Creek and north of Foothill Boulevard to follow the desien, standards of the future regional
center master plan.
5. Directed applicant to modify the Architectural Guidelines section of the Master Plan as follows:
· Add strong design language to ensure that builders understand the expectations of
following the quality architectural standards of house products.
· Stronger language to require architectural elements.
· 2-story house products with no roof variation should be discouraged.
· Establish a minimum depth (8 feet) and square footage for porches and balconies.
· All houses shall have balconies and porches. Provide a percentage that use courtyards
and trellis instead of porches. Staff suggest 30 percent maximum.
· Add criteria for a hierarchy of fencing design.
· Plot 75% of the houses with alternative garages instead of front-on, with provision to
reduce the percentage to 60 if the front-on garages are architecturally treated.
6. Directed the applicant to work with staff in addressing lot layouts and master planning for
several areas of the tentative tract.

INTRODUCTION
A. SETTING
The Village of Victoria Arbors is a very special
place in Rancho Cucamonga. It will include a
regional commercial center as well as residential
neighborhoods. This center will become the City's
"downtown," - the commercial heart of the City.
Victoria Park Lane, the unique "road within a
park' containing bicycle and hiking trails, that
connects all of Victoria, culminates in Victoria
Arbors. The historic Elena (now Filippi) Winery is
located here. It is important that all parts of this
Village, including residential neighborhoods, reflect
an overall design theme and project the unique
identity of Victoria Arbors.
To accomplish this goal, Victoria Arbors is planned
as a unique, multi-use community with an overall
design theme of "Wine Country." It will have a
comprehensive trail and open space system that
connects residential neighborhoods to a central
school-park, its historic winery and a regional center
with a town square and village green. ~I~e Cucamonga Valley bas a long history
in vineyards and wineries. In the early

Adherence to these guidelines and standards will
result in a high quality of appearance and land
use compatibility. These standards and guidelines
are intended as implementation criteria for use by
builders, planners, architects, landscape architects
and civil engineers who are preparing design
and construction drawings for individual proiects
within the Village. This assures a benchmark
of quality that directly enhances the value of
each development.
The Master Plan will be used by the City of

2. ARCHITECTURE
GOAL: A variety of housing and building types
and styles that reflect the overall wine country
design theme.
OBJECTIVES:
· Establish architecture design criteria to give
guidance on the desired external three
dimensional building form, materials and
appearance.
· Institute some architectural elements required
on all buildings, that will serve as icons;
thereby establishing a recognizable identity as
part of Victoria Arbors.

3. OPEN SPACE, TRAILS AND
RECREATION
GOAL: An integral open space, trail and recreation Parks, trails and recreation areas
become practical extensions of the
system to provide a community structure for home - places to play, learn or
Victoria Arbors res t.
OBJECTIVES: Trails and greeways provide alter-
' Provide vital non-vehicular linkages-between all native connections to community
land uses, neighborhoods, school and recre- resources. More importantly, they
accommodate the recreational activ-
ational facilities, ity with the highest participation
rate for all ages: walking.
· Provide inviting places for people to gather
and opportunities for interaction, especially
in high use areas.
· Utilize the street system as an open space
linkage to tie the whole community structure
together through a unified streetscape theme.
· Connect trail and linear parks to existing and
proposed regional trails.
4. LANDSCAPE
GOAL: A landscape theme for the community
which acts to unify and further reinforce the open
space and circulation components in the creation of
the Victoria Arbors community structure.
OBJECTIVES:
· Establish a landscape plant materials palette
using City's approved plant lists, for use in
public rights-of-way and open space.
· Create more detailed designs for major project
entries, street intersections, and special features,
consistent with existing approved plans.
5. SIGNAGE AND LIGHTING
GOAL: A signing and lighting program that
informs and directs residents and visitors, and is
of a character that reinforces the over-all design
theme of Victoria Arbors.
OBJECTIVES:
· Name streets for wine grapes, wines,
appellations and other names that evoke
"Wine Country."
· Provide lighting of appropriate height, spacing
and wattage for safe and desirable illumina
tion. Use City standards for streets and
paseo lighting.

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE
6c DESIGN CONCEPTS
A. DESIGN CONCEPTS
The Village of Victoria Arbors is a multi-use
community thematically tied to its historic winery
and agrarian roots. The design theme for this
Village is wine country. The design, architecture
and choice of materials should work to enforce this
wine country theme. This character can reflect
not only Rancho Cucamonga's history but the
character of other wine regions, including Napa
and Sonoma Valleys and those of France, Italy and
other parts of Europe. These regions should be a
source of inspiration for design and development
of Victoria Arbors.
B. VICTORIA ARBORS PLAN
Victoria Arbors has been designed with a
strong pedestrian/bicycle/auto spine (Arbor Lane)
extending from the center of the northern The design theme for this Village is WINE
residential community to the middle of the regional COUNTRY. The design, architecture and
commercial center to the south. The northern choice of materials should work to enforce

end of the spine is an auto turn-about which
in turn connects to the continuation of Victoria
Park Lane linear park. The southern end of this
spine culminates in a town square, the focus of
the Regional Center.
1. COMMUNITY STRUCTURE
The community structure of Victoria Arbors
is made up of six elements including the
pedestrian/bicycle/auto spine that connects
them. These are:

2. PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY RESIDENTIAL
STREETS
In addition to Arbor Lane and greenways/
paseos, the pedestrian network includes the
walkways along residential streets. To make
these streets as pedestrian-friendly as possible,
several design concepts have been made a part
of this Master Han.
a. Intimate Streets
Although the paving of residential streets
will be a typical 36 ft. wide, the street will

garages ~e setback at least 20 ft.~ ~i sl~'
making the streetscape feel more ~nnmate.
b. Front Porches
Each house must have either a porch
or an outdoor courtyard/patio with trellis,
which will be located within conversational
distance from pedestrians on the~_~idewalks.
This wilt make the street friendlier a~/d by
having "eyes on the street." make it safer

LAND USE
All land uses in the Village of Victoria
Arbors are designated as Mixed Use, in
the City's updated General Plan. The
Master Plan gives each area a subcategory
of use, based on intended primary use.
These designations are:
A. Mixed Use Single Family Residential
B. Mixed Use Multi-Family Residential
C. Mixed Use Commercial
1. Regional-Related Commercial
2. Village Center Commercial
D. Mixed Use Community Facilities
Following are descriptions of allowed
and permitted uses within each of these
categories, together with development
standards
Alternative U~e Areas - There are also
some mixed-use areas that can be

the Master Plan for either Mixed Use
Multi-Family or Mixed Use Commercial,
Regional-Related Commercial, depending
on which use is chosen.
B. SINGLE FAMILY 4-10 DU/ACRE

this designation specifically allows the choice of
small-lot detached homes (8-10 DU/Ac. or 3,000 to
4,500 sq. ft. lots), subject to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga's Design Review process. It will be
incumbent upon the builder to convince the City,
through this process, that the small-lot project
will be a pleasant place to live and an attractive
addition to the City.

The Conceptual Landscape Plan (Exhibit 5), shows
the overall landscape concept and describes the
general planting design. In addition the plan
identifies the Community Entries and City Gateway,
the desigh of which is shown on the following
pages of this chapter.
Further information regarding the plant material
to be used, see the Plant Palettes in Section
D of this chapter.
Plant material shown in the Conceptual Landscape
Plan were selected to be consistant with existing
streets or master plans (Day Creek Blvd. and
Etiwanda Avenue), or fit with the agrarian/vintner
character of the area (Base Line Road and Arbor
Boulevard), or fit with the its urban situation
(Church Street). Interior street trees were
chosen for their scale, color and suitability for
residential streetscapes.
B. MAJOR ENTRIES/INTERSECTIONS
The following entries/intersection are important
to the Village of Victoria Arbors, and merit
special design and development. The design of
intersections along Day Creek Blvd. are based

A. SCHOOL AND PARK LAND
As a village focus, Victoria Arbors has an Elementary
School and Neighborhood Park complex. The
park will function on its own as a separate entity
(when school is in session), with its own children's
play equipment area, picnic benches, parking and
basketball court. The school will also function on
its own, but will have access to some park facilities
during school hours. However, park facilities will
not be isolated for school use. The school-park
complex is a community facility. The intent is
for residents of the community to have access
to all of the recreation facilities, play equipment
areas, and play fields of both school and park after
school hours; and to expand school play facilities
during school hours. The intent is for the school's
gymnasium/multi-purpose building to also be open
to the community after hours.
The School/Park Illustrative Plan (Exhibi~ 15) is
shown for illustrative purposes only. The school
building and layout uses the Etiwanda School
District's prototype school plan. The final school
layout and design may different than what is
shown. Likewise, the park design shown illustrates
what could occur on the site. Actual final design
may be different than what is shown. The Parks
Department will be responsible for determining
what facilities will actually be included and

· Victoria Linear Park - Victoria Linear Park
connects each of the Community of Victoria's
villages' central open spaces and, in turn,
connects the residential portions of the
community together. This park contains
Victoria Park Lane, literally a ~road within a
park. The park has a rustic, natural feeling
with informal tree masses and naturalized
shrubs and grasses with meandering pedestrian
and bicycle trails running its entire length.
This linear park culminates in the Village
of Victoria Arbors, at the Town Square in
the Regional Center.
When this linear park reaches Victoria Arbors
at Base Line Road, it transitions from rustic to a
more urban, park-like setting as it traverses
through the villages neighborhood park
and becomes part of Arbor Lane, a "park

The design intent is to create residential streets
that accommodate both the automobile and
people. The residential neighborhoods in
Victoria Arbors are connected to each other
and to the school-park, regional center, winery
and village commercial area by a system of
greenways or paseos. The roadways within
each neighborhood must provide pedestrian

Residential Streets must be perceived intimate
and safe for pedestrians. Intimate-feeling
streets tend to calm traffic and make a more
peaceful neighborhood. Standard 60' ROW's
with 36' of paving can be made to seem
much narrower, human-scale and pedestrian-
friendly by doing the following:
' -'~'-~ · Homes with porches should~e set back a
minimal distance from s ........ ~ (10). /a~/N~
· The majority of garages should be set back

ALTERNATIVES
An objective of this Master Plan is to
make residential streets more pedestrian-
friendly. A major component of successfully
achieving that objective is to reduce the actual __ _4 ~ i
and perceived presence of the automobile.
The impact of garage doors as part of the
house facades lining streets, particularly on
lots less than 70' wide, greatly increases
the presence of the car. ,
There are three practical methods to reduce
this impact: 1) Set the garage back further from
the street, 2) Turn the garage to the side to
reduce visibility of the door from the street, --
and 3) Enter the garage from the back or
side of the house. These guidelines show
several alternatives that use the three methods ALTERNATIVE
to achieve impact reduction from the typical EXHIBIT2{~

· Alternative 2 - Push-back detached garage.
Pushing the garage into the back yard
and detaching it from the house. The
garage becomes an outbuilding, allowing
smaller setbacks from property lines, and
the garage door is far removed from the
front streetscape.
· Alternative 3 - Side-in Garage. By turning
the garage 90-0 to the street and entering
'~ from the site, visibility of the garage door is

ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES
As has been reiterated in this master plan, the
Village of Victoria Arbors is a very special place in
Rancho Cucamonga. It is important that alt parts
of this Village, including residential neighborhoods,
reflect an overall design theme and project the
unique identity of Victoria Arbors.
To accomplish this goal, these guidelines have been
written to support and reinforce the theme of
wine country. To assure instant recognition that
a visitor has entered Victoria Arbors, some specific
architectural elements will be required as a part of
all buildings. In the case of residential buildings,
these architectural icons will be the porch and
trellis. All houses must have a porch and/or
trellis as part of its design. Depending on style,
balconies with balustrades are strongly encouraged.
Outdoor courtyards ~J~,w~ an important part of
homes in Victoria 1~. ' Additionally, no red
barrel tile roofs are allowed in Victoria Arbors (this
in itself will set Victoria Arbors apart in Rancho
Cucamonga). The following guidelines discuss
these requirements and others in detail.
RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE
A SIZE AND MASSING
Buildings should be simple, rectilinear volumes,
one and two stories in height, well articulated
with window/door treatments, balconies, dormers,
porches and trellises.
ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES · CHAPTER 7
~VICTOR1A ARBORS MASTER PLAN
B CHARACTER AND STYLE
The overall architectural character in Victoria
arbors will reflect the theme: Wine Country. in
Note: The photographs on the following addition to historical Rancho Cucamonga, wine
four pages are intended to capture and country refers to Napa and Sonoma Valleys, as well
display the character of actual period as wine producing areas in Europe - particularly
houses of desired styles. It is not intended
that they be replicated, in France and Italy. These regions should be a
source of inspiration for design and development
of Victoria Arbors. These areas are agrarian, and
~,~'~,~ ':':'~' buildings range from farm houses to estates and
.;<, ·; i villas; arranged in rural hamlets to tightly clustered
~ agrarian villages. Houses and buildings in Victoria
: :' Arbors should reflect these influences.
:' Certain styles are prohibited. ~Santa Barbara"
style with white or pink stucco walls and
shallow-pitched red tile roofs, which proliferates
Southern California, is prohibited in Victoria
Arbors, as are the Spanish Colonial styles with
Farm House with Europeanlnfluence similar characteristics. The use of red barrel
tile is prohibited.
European and Mediterranean influenced architec-
ture is encouraged, particularly from France
and Italy. Monterrey style architecture is
an acceptable Spanish-influenced architecture.
Craftsman and English Cottage/Bungalow styles
are also appropriate.
Buildings shall include characteristics of single
styles and not mix them. They must include
enough of the materials, elements and details to
reflect the character of the style. In encouraging
l'rovencial Farm House styles, it is not the intent of these guidelines,
to have the architecture replicated. Rather, it
is to encourage designers to capture the feeling
and character of the style in a contemporary
way, by using appropriate roof mass and pitch,

architectural shapes, materials and details of Such
elements as windows, doors, dormers, porches,
trellises and balconies.
FRENCH INFLUENCE:
French Provincial houses tend to be square
and symmetrical. They resemble small manor
homes with massive hipped roofs and window
shutters. Frequently, tall second floor windows
break through the cornice. French style houses
usually have these features:
1. Brick, stone, stucco or horizontal siding House with French Influences
2. Hipped roof
3. Flared eaves
4. Dormers
5. Multi-paned windows
Some also have:
6. Decorative half-timbering,
7. Round tower at entryway
8. Arched doorway
ITALIAN INFLUENCE:
ltalianate homes look to the country villas of
northern Italy for its inspiration. Young English
touring the Continent in the early 1800's took Country Home in French Quebec
note of the stimulating forms of the medieval
Italian fortresses with their high military towers
and asymmetrical masses. Such structures were
seen as alternatives to the classical architecture of
the Italian Renaissance, the classical architecture
preferred by their parents and grandparents. When
these young English came into their own money,
they often would build country homes in the new
Italian style. This Italian style was noticed by
Americans who built more modest variations.
The style is characterized by a rectangular
massing of the body of the house, often arranged ltalianate Home
picturesquely into asymmetric blocks to imitate
the sprawling look of centuries-old villas in Italy

ENGLISH COTTAGE/BUNGALOW
English Cottage
The English or Noi'man Cottage is a one story
structure generally composed of brick, stucco or
occasionally stone. The most distinguishing feature
is the steeply pitched roof and steeply pitched
projecting front entrance. Many cottages have
arched or straight-headed picture windows on the
front facade, but other fenestration is limited.
Windows are occasionally casements divided by
English Cottage heavy metal mullions. Decorative brickwork, arched
entrances, and small paned windows are also
characteristic.
Popular during the 1920s and 1930s, these small
one-story homes were considered an alternative
to the Bungalow.
Defining characteristics:
1. Steeply pitched roof
2. Steeply pitched gable entrance
3. Decorative brickwork

Bungalow
Following the tradition of the Craftsman movement
which stressed utility and simplicity, the Bungalow
became a symbol of the movement with its
low, overhanging roof, broad porches, and simple
horizontal lines. Identified as the most common
example of Craftsman architecture, the Bungalow
spread quickly across the country during the
early 20th century.
Bungalow
The typical Bungalow is a one or one-and-one-half
story, wood or masonry structure with a gently
pitched, front or side gable roof. An additional
gable occasionally covers an open porch and
the overhang is usually supported by battered or
"elephantine' porch piers or thick columns. Some
Bungalows have dipped gables, shed dormers,
or exposed rafter ends, but almost all have
a front porch.

C. PORCHES ~
When they are set hack a modest "conversational"
distance from the sidewalk, porches allow persons
to sit on their porch and interact and socialize
with their neighbors. They therefore add
safety (by putting "eyes on the street") and
friendliness to the street. As a result, porches
contribute to a enjoyable walk by pedestrians in Simple Porch with Arched Openings
the neighborhood. Architecturally, porches add
an interesting, inviting element and additional
fenestration to a building.
Porches (and/or other acceptable design feature
that would replace the function of a porch,
such as balconies) are a required element on
each residential building in Victoria Arbors. The
exception to the required porch is an outdoor
courtyard or patio with trellis or arbor, that has

the same relationship to the street/sidewalk as
a porch. However no more that 40% of the
homes in any given neighborhood may replace the
porch with a courtyard and trellis. Following are
porch requirements:
· The porch must be integrated into th~
architecture of the front of the building and
must not appear as an appendage fastened to
the building facade.
· The porch must be large enough to be Porch-G
usable. The minimum depth will be 8',

D. TRELLISES& ARBORS
Trellises are technically a structure upon which
plants and vines may be trained. As used in
these guidelines, trellises take many forms: vertical
trellises used to esplanade plants on walls, patio
covers, porte cochers, pergolas, gazebos and arbors.
The use of vines on the trellises or trellis structures
is encouraged. Vines planted on trellises and arbors
reflect the wine country theme, even if the vines
are ornamental rather than grapes.
If a courtyard and trellis is used in lieu of a porch,
it must take the form of an arbor or shade structure
over the court or patio. And the court must relate Trellis as Porte Cocher
to the street, much as a porch does. Note Grass Drive Strip
1. MATERIALS -'c,, ' ~
Trellises are traditionally constructed of wood.
However, unless properly sealed, painted and
maintained, wood is not a good material
for Rancho Cucamonga. The dry climate,
sun and wind, termites and rot destroy natural
and stained wood outdoor structures. If wood
must be used, it should be pressure preservative
treated and painted.
Freestanding Arbor over Walk
Appropriate materials that will hold up to_
the elements better than wood include steel,
plastic/fiber materials specifically made for
outdoor structure use, and for larger
structures, concrete finished to look like wood.
These will last many times longer than wood.
2. COLORS
Trellises should be painted or finished in
natural wood colors, or colors matching or
compatible with the building or trim color.

E. BALCONIES AND WINDOW
TREATMENT
Balconies are a part of many styles of architecture,
and can range in size from small decorative
balustrades to large, inviting verandas. They add
detail and fenestration to buildings, and provide an
alternative, sheltered outdoor space to relax, have a
drink or watch a sunset.
The many examples shown here, include balconies
in combination with porches, wrought iron
balustrades, and usable verandas.
Window treatment is an important element in
A Small but Usable Balcony defining architectural styles and providing detail to
buildings. Whether it is recessed or protruding,
muhi-paned or single paned, rectangular or arched,
framed or not, all make a difference in the building
character. The window treatment should be
consistent with the style of architecture.
F. ROOFING
Roofing is also important in establishing the
character of architecture. Many of the buildings in
Southern California - most in Rancho._Cucamonga
- have red tile roofs. In the interest of adhering
to the "wine country~ character and encouraging
European influenced architecture, red tile roofs
are prohibited in Victoria Arbors. The following
requirements apply to this Village:
· Prohibited Roofing - Red barrel tile roofs
are prohibited in Victoria Village. Wood
shingles or shakes and standard asphaltic
A Wrought Iron Balcony Over Looks roll roofing or shingles are prohibited.

INITIAL STUDY/ADDENDUM
1,0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Initial Study/Addendum is an addendum to the previously certified Final Environmental Impact
Report (Final EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 98041137) certified by the City of Rancho Cucamonga
on July 7, 1999 for the Victoria Arbors Village. These documents,, together with all other technical
studies and environmental documents incorporated by reference herein, serve as the environmental
review of the proposed project, as required pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the State and
local CEQA Guidelines.
Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and the State and local CEQA Guidelines, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga is the Lead Agency, and is charged with the responsibility of deciding whether or not to
approve the proposed project (modifications to the Victoria Arbors Village project as set forth in
Section 2.3). As part of the decision making process, the City is required to review and consider the
potential environmental effects that could result from the modification o£project analyzed in the
previously certified EIR.
1.2 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
On July 7, 1999, thc Rancho Cucamonga City Council certified the Final EIR for the Victoria Arbors
Village project. The Final EIR addressed potential impacts associated with thc conversion of 64.3
acres of multi-family to single family residential; 58.76 acres of regional related office commercial to
single family residential, medium density residential, and high density residential; 18.74 acres of
open space and lakes to residential; and 13.28 acres of multi-family residential to a school-park; 2.9
acres of community facilities to single family residential, and 8.44 of low-medium density residential
to low density single family residential in the Victoria Community Plan area. Approximately 26
acres of office/professional were proposed to be converted to single, family residential in the
Etiwanda Specific Plan. Because the City did not approve the Victoria Arbors Village project, no
change in on-site zoning occurred. Zoning for the project site remained that which existed prior to
preparation of thc Final EIR.
While the City did not approve thc project, it certified as accurate, adequate, and complete the Final
EIR which provided environmental evaluation of the impacts associated with the Victoria Arbors
Village project. At that time, the City did not adopt Facts and Findings and a Statement of
Overriding Considerations. The Final EIR identified significant and unavoidable adverse impacts
that would result from the implementation of the Victoria Arbors Village project and/or its
alternatives. Operational emissions of the proposed project would have resulted in total emissions of
2,034 lbs./day of CO, 153 lbs./day of ROC, 326 lbs./day of NOx, 36 lbs./day of SOx, and 47 lbs./day
of PM.o. Emission levels of CO, ROC, and NOx would have exceeded SCAQMD thresholds for
long-term operations. Even after implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the Final
EIR, it was not guaranteed that the emissions would be reduced to below the significance thresholds.
2/22/01 (C:\WINNTxTemporary lntemet Files\OLK2\lnitial Study.wpd) I-1
Therefore, the project's impact on air quality during daily operations would have remained significant
and unavoidable.
Victoria Arbors Village Initial Study/Addendum
Subsequent to the 1999 certification of the Final EIR, an application was made to thc City for an
amendment to the City's General Plan, Victoria Community Plan, and Etiwanda Specific Plan. This
application requested changes in land use designations from residential and regional retail uses to
mixed uses. An Addendum to the Victoria Arbors Village Final EIR was prepared to address
potential impacts associated with the rezoning of the project site from residential and regional
commercial uses to a "mixed use" designation. In instances where the modifications of a previously
approved project arc minor and/or non-significant, a Lead Agency may prepare an addendum (CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164). The Addendum did not identify any new impacts or
significantly increased impacts resulting from the rezoning of the project site. The addendum was
certified as adequate on December 20, 2000. The City approved the proposed changes to land use
designations on December 20, 2000.
The City Council adopted Statements of Facts and Findings and Overriding Considerations for the
Victoria Arbors Village project on December 20, 2000. These Findings found the economic, social
or other benefits of the Victoria Arbors Village project and its alternatives outweighed the significant
and unavoidable impacts identified in the Final EIR. In making this finding, the Council balanced
the benefits of the Project and its alternatives against its unavoidable impacts and has indicated its
willingness to accept those adverse impacts.
1.3 FINDINGS OF THIS INITIAL STUD Y/ADDENDUM
Pursuant to CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, this Initial
Study/Addendum has been prepared in order to determine whether development of the Victoria
Arbors Village project (proposed project) will result in a change in circumstances, new impacts, or
new information of substantial importance requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental
EIR.
This addendum reviews any new information of substantial importance that was not known and
could not have been known with exercise of reasonable diligence at thc time the Final EIR was
certified. It further examines whether, as a result of any changes or any new information,
preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR is required. This examination includes an analysis
of the provisions of Section 21166 of CEQA and Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and
their applicability to the proposed project. The focus of the examination is on whether the Final EIR
adequately addresses the impacts associated with development of the proposed project.
Pursuant to CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Guidelines, the City's
environmental review of the proposed project is limited to examining the environmental effects
associated with the changes between the previously certified Final EIR and the potential impacts
which may result from implementation of the proposed project. This focus is due to the fact that the
Final EIR has already addressed the environmental impacts associated with development of the
proposed project and that the Rancho Cucamonga City Council certified that the Final EIR was
adequate and met the provisions of CEQA.

Use of an .4ddendum to a Previously Certified ElR
Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines states that an Addendum to an EIR shall be prepared "if
some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in Section 15162
calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred." Section 15162 of the State CEQA
Guidelines identifies the conditions that require preparation of a subsequent EIR. A proposed change
in a project will require preparation of a subsequent EIR if:
1. The change in the project is substantial.
Substantial changes in the project are those that would require major revisions of the
previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects, or if a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects has occurred.
2. The circumstances under which the project is undertaken ,~ave substantially changed.
Substantial changes in circumstances are those defined as those that would require major
revisions of the previous EIR in order to describe and analyze new significant environmental
effects, or any changes that would cause a substantial incn.'ase in the severity of the
previously identified significant effects.
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could have not been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified,
shows:
A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
EIR;
B. The significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
identified in the previous EIR;
C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously fomqd not to be feasible would in fact
be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
project, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or
alternatives; or
D. Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation
measures or alternatives.
If none of the above conditions are met, the City is not permitted to require preparation of a
subsequent EIR. Rather, the City may require preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration or an
Addendum, or the City may decide that no further environmental documentation is necessary.
This Initial Study/Addendum has evaluated each of the issues addressed in the Final EIR, as well as
each
of the
issues
contained
in
the
checklist presented in Section 3.0 of this document. Based on this
analysis and the information contained herein, there is no evidence that the proposed project requires

major changes to the Final EIR Comparison of the previous project with the proposed project, as
described in Section 2.3 of this document, indicates that there are no new significant environmental
impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project.
This Initial Study/Addendum relies on use of an Environmental Checklist Form (Form), as suggested
in Section 15063 (d)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The Form is used:
· To evaluate whether or not there are any new or more severe significant environmental
effects associated with implementation of the proposed project; and
· To review whether there is new information or circumstances that would require preparation
of additional environmental documentation in the form of a subsequent or supplemental EIR,
or if an Addendum is appropriate.
Section 3.0 of this document contains the Checklist Form and explains the basis for each response to
the questions on the Form.
1.4 EXISTING DOCUMENTS TO BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Section 15150 of the State CEQA Guidelines permits an environmental document to incorporate by
reference other documents that provide relevant data.
Thc documents outlined in this section are hereby incorporated by reference, and the pertinent

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 PROJECT SITE SETTING
The proposed project consists of approval of Tentative Tract 15974 (TT15974) within the City of
Rancho Cucamonga, its accompanying Development Agreement, and Parcel Map 15641. Thc
project site is located within the limits of the Victoria Arbors Village, which itsel£is located in the
eastern portion oft_he City (Figure 2.1). Base Line Road forms the northern boundary while Foothill
Boulevard and Interstate 15 (I-15) form the southern boundary, gal active Edison utility easement
runs in a north-south direction parallel and adjacent to the east side. of Day Creek Channel forming
the westerly boundary. Etiwanda Avenue forms the easternmost boundary. Regional access to the
site is provided via interchanges with 1-15 at Base Line Road and Foothill Boulevard. The project
lies within the boundaries o£ the Victoria Community Plan.
The project site is largely undeveloped, but is surrounded by pockets of development, which are not a
part of the project site. These developments include the Filippi Winery, a historic landmark owned
by the City, and two houses with associated buildings immediately east of the winery. A small,
1950s era Craftsman Style home is located at the southeast comer o£ the intersection of Victoria Park
Lane and Base Line Road. South of these structures on Etiwanda Avenue is the Nichiren Shoshu
Buddhist Temple and 1950s ranch house located on the northwest coruer o£ Church Street and
Etiwanda Avenue near the 1-15 freeway. At the northeast comer o£the project site is tract of new
homes in the process of being developed.
2.2 PROPOSED DISCRETIONARYACTIONS
The proposed project requires the following approvals by the City o£ Rancho Cucamonga:
· Approval of Tentative Tract 15974
· Approval of the Development Agreement for TT 15974
· Approval of Parcel Map 15641.

2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As previously stated, the proposed project consists of thc approval of TT 15974 and its accompanying
Development Agreement. Specifically, thc proposed project includes thc construction of 554 single-
family residential units, required roadway improvements, and thc installation of necessary utility
infrastructure. The project proposes a reduction in thc number of dwelling units (by 172 units) from
that permitted under the approved Addendum. In addition, the project includes 11.89 acres of
commercial acreage (the previously approved Addendum included 8.71 acres of commercial
acreage), which when developed under a floor to area ratio (FAR) of 0.25, will yield 129,482 square
feet of commercial uses. This increase in commercial acreage will increase the amount of
commercial space permitted within the limits of TT15974 by 34,630 square feet beyond that
identified in the approved Addendum. The proposed TT15974 includes a 10.67-acre school site.
Though 2.85 acres of demonstration vineyards approved in the Addendum have been eliminated from
TT15974, the proposed project provides approximately 10.71 acres of park space, 1.59 acres of
wetland park, as well as a system of trails. Approval of Parcel Map 15641 will result in the creation
of 35 parcels within thc limits of the previously approved Victoria Arbors Village project.
The proposed land use plan is illustrated in Figures 2.2A through 2.2D. Proposed on-site uses are
summarized in Table 2.A. Because TT15974 consists ofaportion of the larger Victoria Arbors
Village project area, Table 2.A compares land use proposed under 'IT15974 and that approved under
the Addendum for the area within the limits of TT15974 only.

Determination: (To Be Completed by the Lead Ageney)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
The City finds that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] The City finds that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] The City finds the proposed project May have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but
at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the
earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a potentially significant
impact or potentially significant unless mitigated an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to addressed.
[] The City finds that changes to the project or the circumstances under which the project
would be undertaken require major revisions to the previous EIR in order to make the
previous EIR adequately apply to the proposed project in accordance with Public Resources
Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15163. Thus, a SUBSEQUENT EIR
shall be prepared.
The City finds that changes to the project or the circumstances under which the project
would be undertaken require only minor revision to the previous EIR in order to make the
previous EIR adequately apply to the proposed project in accordance with Public Resoumes
Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15163. Thus, a SUPPLEMENTAL EIR
shall be prepared.

been addressed in an earlier EIR, and that none of the determinations set forth in Public
Resources Code Section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 can be
established. Thus, an ADDENDUM to the University/Crest Supplemental EIR shall be

3.2 RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS INCLUDED IN THE ENVIRONMENT.4L CHECKLIST
1. Aesthetics. Would the Project...
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. The Victoria Arbors Village EIR (Final ELR) identified impacts associated with
development of the project site with a variety of residential, commercial, and community serving
uses. Potential impacts to local viewscapes and/or scenic resources would be no greater than that
identified in the Final EIR and Addendum. Mitigation measures included in the Final EIR reduced
aesthetic/visual resource impacts resulting from the development c,f the Victoria Arbors Village
project to below a level of significance. Approval and implementation of ~7F15974 will not alter this
assessment. These mitigation measures will remain in force; therefore, potential impacts to scenic
vistas from implementation of the proposed project will be reduced to below a level of significance
and no further mitigation is required.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not' limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. While the site is surrounded by pockets of development, it is largely undeveloped. The
project site consists of abandoned vineyards, eucalyptus windrows, native and non-native vegetation,
and a concrete water channel located in the central portion of the ske. The Final EIR included
mitigation measures, which reduced aesthetic/visual resource impacts to a less than significant level.
These mitigation measures will remain in rome. Therefore, potential impacts to scenic vistas
resulting from approval and implementation of TTi5974 for the proposed project will reduce
impacts to a less than significant level.
c) Would the project substantially degrade the existing visua,e, character or quality of the site
and its surroundings?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. The Final EIR included mitigation measures, which reduce potential impacts to
aesthetic/visual resources to below a level of significance. Implementation of the proposed project
would generally result in the same level of development envisioned in the Final EIR. In addition,
approval of TT15974 will not alter this assessment; therefore, potential aesthetic/visual resource
impacts would not exceed that identified in the Final EIR.
d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely
affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances requiring Preparation
of an EIR. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not alter the original assessment from the
Final EIR and Addendum. The Final EIR states, "the Design Review Process for commemial
establishments, high density housing, and public places shall ensure that no significant light or glare
impact shall result from the proposed project." Adherence to mitigation included in the Final EIR
will reduce potential impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level and no further
mitigation is required.
2/22101(C:\WINNTXTemporary Internct FilesXOLK2\lnitial Study.wpd) 3-15
LSA ASSOCIATES. INC
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
The Final EIR included the following mitigation measures:
4.6.1A New buildings within 100 feet of future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue shall be
restricted to 35 feet in height to protect the view corridor of the mnuntains for motorists traveling
north.
4.6.1B Noise walls along future Day Creek Boulevard, Etiwanda Avenue, Base Line Road, Foothill
Boulevard, and Church Street shall be no more than 8 feet tall to avoid a sense of "visual enclosure"
for these Scenic Corridors, and should be set back an adequate distance to allow landscaping on the
road side of the sound wall. This requirement shall be attached as a condition of approval by the
City Planning Department prior to approval of any development bordering future Day Creek
Boulevard, ~ ....... ~ .... :~", Base Line Road, Foothill Boulevard, and Church Street.
4.6.1C Landscape requirements shall be established for the far southern end of the project site to
screen new development from the view of motorists along 1-15 looking north. However, this
landscaping should also allow views north towards the mountains, using the view corridor provided
by the future Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue. The CiVy Planning Department shall
address such landscaping as a condition of approval for any development in the area of I-15.
4.6.2A The Design Review process for commercial establishments, high density housing, and public
places shall ensure that no significant light or glare impacts shall result from the proposed project.
peclfic ~ssues to be evaluated at the time of&sign review shall include the following: proposed
exterior lighting and landscaping of parking areas to reduce visible lighting from outside these areas;
use of shielding on exterior lights to focus light onto the ground; and, proposed architectural
materials to ensure that reflective materials are minimized.
4.6.2B The developer shall account for the loss of the aesthetic benefit of the lakes by providing a
new focal point concept within residential area to be submitted for Design Review. The focal point
concept could include an open space trail system linkage to the winery site and commercial areas to
the south by an open space corridor, and incorporate such features as fountains, large gazebos, public
art, public furniture, and/or increased open space/trails systems.
4.6.3A Provisions shall be made to account for protection of viewsheds and plant palette plans
shown in the Victoria Community Plan for major intersections along future Day Creek Boulevard,
Victoria Park Lane (Victoria Loop), and Church Street. Such provisions may include the following:
building setbacks within the project site; varied allowable heights with lower heights nearest the
interchanges; clustering of buildings; and, landscaping to complement the viewshed. These issues
shall be addressed by the City Planning Department as recommendations for the Design Review
process at the time of developing conditions of approval for any projects within the proposed project
corridor.
4.6.3C The Community Design Criteria Part II of the Victoria Community Plan shall be amended
immediately following project approval to address new uses proposed as part of the project.
However, as part of this amendment, some requirements shall be included to reduce visual impacts
of new development by inclusion of landscaping near major roads th.'tt matches those proposed by
the Plan. For example, trees shall be planted along the site's property lines and along roadways to
screen new development from view. Within the site and adjacent to major east-west comdors, the
City shall designate areas for landscaping, ensuring that land adjacent to the roads is planted with
low-growing vegetation to maintain a degree of visual open space on the project site.
4.6.3D The parkway on the east side of future Day Creek Boulevard shall be widened ~ to 25
feet to provide a multi-use trail from Base Line Road south to terminate at the City's adult sports
complex. Specific design of the nail shall be determined by the City at the time development plans
are submitted for review and approval for any development proposals adjacent to future Day Creek
Boulevard. The .specific design shall tie in with the City's Day Creek Boulevard Master Plan design.
The trail shall be designed to connect to planned and existing trail systems in the Etiwanda North
Specific Plan and shall connect the residential areas north and south of Base Line to the regional
commercial areas adjacent to Interstate 15.
Adherence to these mitigation measures reduced potential impacts aesthetic/visual resource impacts
to below a level of significance.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the proposed project will not result in new significant impacts or increase the
degree of impacts identified in the Final E1R. No new and/or refined mitigation measures are
required for issues related to aesthetics and/or visual resources.
Addendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. A comparison of the previous project with the proposed project has determined
that there are no new significant environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the
proposed project.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Major EIR Revisions
There is no information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial
changes in circumstances that would require major changes to the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than in Final EIR
This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether
there is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR was certified that may
indicate that a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final EIR. Based on the
information and analysis above, there is no substantial new information that there will be new,
significant impacts requiring major revisions of the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing .4bility to Reduce Significant Effects in the Final EIR
2/22/Ol(C:\WINNTxlemporary lntemet Files\OLK2\lnitial Study.wpd) ~.., ~_ IT~ 3-18
The analysis above shows that there are no feasible alternatives to ~:he project or additional mitigation
measures that must be considered to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects
identified in the Final EIR.

2. Agricultural Resources. Would the Project...
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
No Impact. The project site is not currently utilized for agricultural production and is not viewed as
an agricultural resource. The Final EIR did not identify impacts related to the conversion of
agricultural land to non-agricultural uses. The proposed project envisions development of the project
site with residential, and commercial uses. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not alter
this assessment; therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
No Impact. The site is not zoned for agricultural use, nor is it subject to a Williamson Act contract.
No impact related to this issue will occur.
c) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion o f farmland to non-agricultural use?
No Impact. The project site is not currently used for agricultural production. Development of the
project site as proposed will not result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses;
therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
The Final EIR did not include mitigation measures related to agricultural resources because no
significant impacts were identified.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the proposed project will not result in any new significant impacts. Therefore, no
new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for issues related to agricultural resources.
Addendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. Comparison of the proposed project with the previous project indicates that there
are no new significant environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed project.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Major EIR Revisions
There is no information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial
changes in circumstances that would require major changes to the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than in Final EIR
C:\WINNT~Temporary Interne, Fil,s\OLK2\lnitial Study.wpd ~.~.,~ ~%0 3-20
LSA ASSOCIATES, INC.
This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether
there is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR was certified that may
indicate that a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final EIR. Based on the
information and analysis above, there is no substantial new information that there will be new,
significant impacts requiring major revisions of the Final EIR.
3~b New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Final EIR
The analysis above shows that there are no feasible alternatives to the project or additional mitigation
measures that must be considered to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects
identified in the Final EIR.
3. Air Quality. Would the Project...
a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan?
No Impact. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will allow for development of 554 dwelling
units and 129,482 square feet of commercial uses. The Addendum approved the development of 726
dwelling units and 94,852 square feet of commercial uses. The decrease of dwelling units and
increase of commercial development at the proposed project will not significantly alter the type and
intensity of permitted uses within the project site; therefore, significant impacts in excess of that
identified in the Final EIR will not occur.
b) Would the project violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
or projected air quality violation ?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. The Final EIR concluded that even with implementation of mitigation measures, air
quality impacts resulting from development of the Victoria Arbors Village project remained
significant and unavoidable. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has
established thresholds for potentially significant air quality impacts based on primary land use (Table
6-2, CEQA Air Quality Handbook, SCAQMD, 1993). The threshold for residential use ranges from
166 units for single family housing to 612 units for a retirement community. The project is
consistent with the Final EIR and Addendum; therefore, the air quality impacts will not be greater
than was originally analyzed.
c) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or
state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. Development of the project site will result in short-term increases in dust and
construction equipment exhaust emissions and long-term regional increases in mobile and stationary
source emissions. The Final EIR identified measures which would :reduce air quality impacts

development
of
the
previous project. Development of the proposed project will not
alter the type and intensity of permitted uses within the project site. No increase in the amount of

operational and/or construction emissions beyond that estimated in previous environmental
documents will occur. Therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.
d Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantialpollutant concentrations?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. Development of the proposed project will not alter the 'type and intensity of permitted
uses within the project site. No increase in the amount of operational and/or construction emissions
Ix;yond that estimated in previous environmental documents will occur. The Final EIR identified
measures which would reduce air quality impacts resulting from development of the previous
project. The proposed project will not result in impacts which were not identified and addressed in
the previous environmental documents. Therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.
e) Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Impact. The Victoria Arbors Village project envisions development of residential and
commercial uses within the project site. The proposed project would not generate new odors, in and
of itself; however, short-term odor impacts (i.e., diesel fumes, asphalt paving) associated with project
construction may occur during construction. These fumes would d~ssipate quickly, and do not pose a
potentially significant odor impact. Commercial and residential uses will be required to adhere to
standards which ensure the sanitary and timely disposal of solid waste. Odors associated with these
uses would quickly dissipate and would not adversely affect adjacent properties or persons.
Development of the proposed project will not result in the creation of objectionable odors beyond
that identified in previous environmental documents. No impact associated with this issue will
Occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR

water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to prevent dust from leaving the site and to
create a crust after each day's activities cease.
b. During construction, water trucks or sprinkler systems shall be used to keep all areas of
vehicle movement damp enough to prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this
would include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after work is completed for
the day, and whenever wind exceeds 15 miles per hour.
c. After clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation is completed, the entire area of disturbed
soil shall be treated immediately by pickup of the soil until the area is paved or otherwise
developed so that dust generation will not occur.
d. Soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil
binders to prevent dust generation.
e. Trucks transporting soil, sand, cut or fill materials and/or construction debris to or from the
site shall be tarped from the point of origin.

implementation with the mitigation monitoring program.
4.3.3E The developer shall install bicycle trails per the City's General Bikeways Plan.
Refined Project.Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the Development Agreement for the proposed project will not result in any new
significant impacts. Therefore, no new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for air
quality issues.
Addendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. Comparison of the previous project with the proposed project indicates that there
are no new significant environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed project.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Major EIR Revisions
There is no information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial
changes in circumstances that would require major changes to the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than in Final E1R
This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether
there is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR was certified that may
indicate that a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final EIR. Based on the
information and analysis above, there is no substantial new information that there will be new,
significant impacts requiring major revisions of the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Final EIR
The analysis above shows that there are no feasible alternatives to the project or additional mitigation
measures that must be considered to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects
identified in the Final EIR.
4. Biological Resources. Would the project...
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any
species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special statu:* species in local or regional
LSAAS$OCIATES. INC
plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department ofFish and Game or U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an E1R. Development of the proposed project would reduce the number of residential units and
increase the amount of commercial acreage within the limits of TT15974. While habitat on site is
substantially degraded, the project site is located within an area proposed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service CUSFWS) as "critical" habitat for the endangered San Bemardino kangaroo rat
(Dipodomys merriamiparvus) (SBKR). Neither the SBKR or other threatened, or endangered
species have been detected on-site. Potential impacts associated with the loss of this degraded
habitat, which is devoid of SBKR or other threatened, or endangered species, would be less than
significant.
b) Have substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department
ofFish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. Development of the proposed project would require the removal of existing on-site
biological resources from the project site, thereby substantially diminishing habitat for wildlife or
plants.
Development of TT15974, and the elimination of coastal sage scrub from the project site would
substantially diminish habitat for wildlife or plants. The coastal sage scrub is not considered to be
"pristine" or of high quality; this conclusion has been reached because portions of the site had been
disturbed in the past by clearing, it is fairly monotypic, being dominated primarily by a single
species (C_a_~l~mia buckwheat), and it does not support threatened or endangered species, and would,
therefore,t~ a significant impact. While the Final EIR included mitigation to purchase and preserve
off-site lands to compensate for the loss of on-site coastal sage scrub, the City found that the loss of
this resource would not result in a significant environmental impact, acting as the Lead Agency for
the project, has made the determination that because of its poor quality, the coastal sage scrub
present on site did not warrant preservation; therefore, mitigation measures included in the Final EIR
are not required. The City's ~_o~a.on December 20, 2000, which amended the Victoria Community
Plan Amendment (Ordinance~lil~ffound that the loss of his resource would not result in a
significant environmental impact; therefore, no mitigation is required.
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.)
Through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. The proposed project would result in the loss of 0.4 acre of the 1.4 acres of mixed willow
series on the site. The entire 1.4 acres qualifies as wetlands as defined for purposes of the Federal
Clean Water Act. The loss of the 0.4 acre of mixed willow series/wetland would substantially
diminish habitat for wildlife and plants and is, therefore, considered to be a significant impact. The
following permits have been obtained by the project the applicant:

· Section 404- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) authorization under Nationwide
Permit (N~VP) 26
A Section 404 permit is required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for impacts
on jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This permit was issuer[ to the developer by the Corps on
November 10, 1998. The expiration date has been set at February 11, 2002 for all Pre-
Construction Notices (PCNs) submitted on or before March 9, 2000 (the project PCN was
submitted September 11, 1998). If the authorized activity is initiated or is under contract to
commence prior to February 11, 2002, one additional year will be given to complete the
activity under the present terms and conditions of the nationwide permit (Federal Register

· Section 1603 - California Department ofFish and Game (CDFG) agreement regarding
stream alteration
The permit was applied for on January 28, 2000 and the permit was issued on March 7, 2000.
The project was authorized without a Streambed Alteration Agreement, due to expiration of
the CDFG 30-day review period. There is no expiration date for this authorization.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or
wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or
impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
No Impact. Because of the relatively uniform topography of the project site and because linkages to
adjacent habitat are limited by existing barriers, wildlife movement within the limits of the project
site is largely limited to localized and daily movements. Barriers to wildlife movement include
major roadways (Base Line Road on the north, Foothill Boulevard on the south, Etiwanda Avenue on
the east), I-15 on the southeast, and Day Creek Channel (located immediately adjacent to the western
site boundary.)
Implementation of the proposed project will decease the number of dwelling units and increase the
amount of commercial acreage within the limits of TT15974. The Final EIR concluded that
implementation of the Victoria Arbors Village project (of which TT15974 is a component) would not
substantially interfere with the movement of a resident or migratory wildlife species. Therefore,
potential impacts relating to this issue which may result from development of TT15974 will not
OCCBr.
e) ConJlict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree
preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact. The Final EIR concluded that implementation of the Victoria Arbors Village project (of
which TT15974 is a component) did not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources. Therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.
J) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan?
No Impact. The Victoria Arbors Village project (of which TTl5974 is a component) is not located
within an adopted habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or other approved
local, regional o~' state habitat conservation plan. No impacts associated with this issue will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
Adherence to mitigation included in thc Final EIR will reduce potential impacts associated with this
issue to a less than significant level.
4.7.3C Participate in off-site mitigation bank (i.e., Team Anmdo) to provide compensation for the
loss of 0.4 acres of mixed willow series.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the Victoria Arbors Village project will not result in any new significant impacts.
Therefore, no new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for issues related to biological
resources.

measures that must be considered to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects
identified in the Final EIR.
5. Cultural Resources. Would the Project...
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined
in §15064.5?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. A cultural resource assessment was prepared to assess potential impacts associated with
development of the Victoria Arbors Village project and was included in the Final EIR. This
assessment included a records search, literature review, and a pedestrian field survey. No historic
building or structure, archeological, and/or cultural resource was identified within the limits of the
project site. Approval of TT 15974 will not alter this assessment. While the cultural assessment did
not identify on-site cultural, archaeological, or paleontological resources, the Final EIR identified the
potential presence of subsurface archeological/paleontological/historic resources on site. The Final
EIR includes mitigation measures 4.8.1 which states:
In the event a cultural resource is uncovered during the course of the project, ground
disturbing activities in the vicinity of the find should be redirected until the nature and extent
of the find can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist.
Adherence to this mitigation will reduce potential impacts associated with this issue to a less than
significant level.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to §15064.5?
No Impact. Please refer to Response 5(a).
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature?
No Impact. Please refer to Response 5(a).
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less than Significant Impact/No New Information or Changed Circumstances Requiring Preparation
of an EIR. While, the cultural assessment prepared for the Victoria Arbors Village EIR did not
identify human remains on site, the Final EIR identified their potential presence within the project
site. Adherence to mitigation included in the Final EIR will reduce potential impacts associated with
this issue to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
4.8.1 If human remains are encountered, the San Bemardino County Coroner must be notified
within 24 hours. If the Coroner determines that the bur/al is not historic, but prehistoric, the
Native American Heritage Commission must be contacted to determine the most likely
descendant (MLD) for the area. The MLD may become involved in the disposition of the
burial.

Addendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. Comparison of the previous project with the proposed project indicates that there
are no new significant environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed project.

This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether
there is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR was certified that may
indicate that a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final EIR. Based on the

6. Geology and Soils. Would the Project...
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of
loss, injury, or death involving:
0 Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent ~41quist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologg~t for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
No Impact. The project site is located approximately 1.5 miles from the Red Hill Fault,
approximately 2.6 miles from the Cucamonga Fault, 9.0 miles from the San Jacinto Fault, and 12.0
miles from the San Andreas Fault. Because no on-site earthquake faults have been identified, no
impact associated with this issue will occur.
LSA ASSOCIATES, INC
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
No Impact. Like most of southern California, the project site will be subject to future ground
shaking resulting from movement on local and/or regional faults. Structures and facilities within the
project site will be designed and constructed in accordance with requirements of the latest edition of
the Uniform Building Code (UBC) for Seismic Zone 4. Adherence to these requirements will reduce
potential impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level.
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
No Impact. Liquefaction occurs when loose, unconsolidated, water laden soils are subject to
shaking, causing the soils to lose cohesion. The possibility of liquefaction occurring at a project site
is dependent upon the occurrence of a significant earthquake in the vicinity, sufficient groundwater
(within 40 feet of the ground surface) to cause high pore pressures, and on the grain size, plasticity,
relative density, and confining pressures of the soil at the project site. The Final EIR did not identify
any on-site liquefaction-related impact; therefore, development of the proposed project will not
result in impacts related to this issue.
iv) Landslides?
No Impact. The project site is relatively flat, sloping generally to the south. As stated in the Final
Draft EIR, "...The only portion of the City of Rancho Cucamonga subject to significant landslide or
slope failures is in the northwest comer of the City near the foothills. The project site is located
approximately 4 miles south of the foothills." Therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.
b) }Fouid the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Nolmpact. Implementation of the proposed project would result in the modification of the existing
on-site topography to accommodate residential and commercial uses, and community facilities. The
Final EIR did not identify impacts associated with soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. The amount of
residential development permitted under the proposed project would decrease from that identified in
the Final EIR and the Addendum. The location and extent of any required landform modification
would approximate that required for implementation of the previously certified project. Therefore,
potential soil erosion impacts and/or impact associated with the loss of topsoil will not exceed that
identified in the Final EIR.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would
become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
No Impact. Please refer to responses 6a (iii) and 6a (iv). The proposed project does not involve the
extraction of subsurface liquids. The proposed project will alter the geologic/seismic environment of
the project site by adding residential and commercial structures in a seismically active region of
Southern California; however, potential landslide, liquefaction, lateral spreading, or subsidence
impacts will be no greater than that identified in the Final EIR.
C:\WINNT~TemporarylntemetFiles\OLK2\lnitial Study.wpd ~)~ ~_ ~,~.. 3-32
d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform
Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
No Impact. As stated in the Final EIR, the project site is underlain by the Tujunga soil series,
"...which has a very low expansive potential." No impact associated with this issue will occur.
e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of
waste water?
No Impact. The site is not currently served by sanitary sewers. Sanitary sewer service will be
provided by Cucamonga County Water Dis~ct (CCWD). Wastewater flows will be conveyed to
facilities operated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA). Implementation of the proposed
project will not alter the planned method of wastewater disposal. Because the proposed project will
not utilize septic or alternative methods ofwastewater disposal, no impact associated with this issue
will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
The Final EIR did not include mitigation measures for issues related to geology and soils because
these issues were identified as less than significant.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the proposed project will not result in any new significant impacts. Therefore, no
new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for issues related to geology and soils.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Would the Project...
Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport,
use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
NoImpact. Implementation of the proposed project permits development of mixed residential and
commercial uses throughout the project site. Although, commercial outlets sell paints, petroleum
products, compressed gases, solvents, pesticides, and cleaning supplies, the routine transport,.
storage, and sale of these substances is not anticipated to create a significant hazard to the public or
environment beyond that identified in the Final EIR.
b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions invalving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
No Impact. The proposed project would not expose persons to hazardous substances beyond those
routinely utilized within homes and commercial outlets. Implementation of the proposed project will
not substantially increase the quantities of hazardous materials transported or stored within the limits
of the project site. The proposed project will not significantly increase the potential for the
accidental release of hazardous materials into the environment; therefore, potential impacts
associated with this issue will not exceed that identified in the Final EIR
Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle ha::ardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
Less than Significant Impact. The previously certified Victoria Arbors Village EIR included an
elementary school site. Though reduced slightly in size, this elementary school site remains a
component of thc TT15974. The proposed elementary school site does not lie within 0.25 mile of a
hazardous material producer or user; therefore, impact associated with this issue will not occur.
d) Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials
sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it
create a significant hazard to the public or the environmet,~t?
No Impact. There are no hazardous materials on-site. Therefore, nc, impact associated with this
issue will occur.
e) Would the project be located within an airport land use plun or, where such a plan has not
been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
No Impact. The project site is located approximately 4.5 miles northeast of Ontario International
Airport, 8.0 miles west of Rialto Municipal Airport, and 9.0 miles east of Cable Airport (Upland).
Development of TT15974 will not result in a safety hazard for persons residing or working within
the project site. No impact associated with this issue will occur.

J) l~ould the project be located within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
No Impact. Please refer to Response 7(e).

~Vould the projeet impair implementation of or physicallj~ interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
lV-o Impact. Implementation of TT15974 will increase traffic on local and regional roadway
networks. The amount of residential and commercial development permitted within the project site
will not increase beyond that identified in the Final EIR, and development of the project site has been
assumed during preparation of local planning documents; therefore, potential impacts associated
with this issue would not exceed that recognized in previous environmental/planning documents.
Developer(s) of the project site will be required to design, construct, and maintain structures,
roadways, and facilities to comply with applicable local, regional, State and/or federal requirements
related to emergency access and evacuation plans. Construction activities which may temporarily
restrict access will be required to implement adequate and applicable measures to facilitate the
passage of persons and vehicles through the project site. Adherence to these measures will reduce
potential impacts related to this issue to a less than significant level.
h) Would the project expose people or structures to a significant risl~ of loss, injury or death
involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or
where residences are intermixed with wildlands ?
No Impact. The project site is currently vegetated with a variety of weeds, annual grasses, shrubs,
abandoned vineyards, and other plant material. This vegetation will be removed to allow for the
construction of homes, and commercial sites. All new constmctinn will comply with applicable
standards of the Uniform Fire Code and regulations of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District (RCFD);
therefore, no impact will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
The Final EIR did not include mitigation measures related to hazards and/or hazardous materials
because no significant impacts related to hazards and/or hazardous materials are identified.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the proposed project will not result in new significant impacts or increase the degree
of impacts identified in the Final EIR. No new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for issues
related to hazards and/or hazardous materials.

requiring major revisions of the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Final EIR
The analysis above shows that there are no feasible alternatives to the project or additional mitigation
measures that must be considered to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects identified
in the Final EIR.
h) Hydrology and Water Quality. Would the Projeca..
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
No Impact. Development within the project will adhere to applicable provisions of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit as required by the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region. Development of TT15974 will not
substantially alter type or scale of uses within thc limits of proposed project. Adherence to
applicable requirements of the NPDES permit will reduce potential impacts associated with this issue
to a less than significant impact.
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop
to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits
have been granted) ?
No Impact. Development within the limits of TT15974 envisions a reduction in the number of
dwelling units from that identified in the Final EIR and/or Addendum. No increase in the amount of
water required to service the project site or the amount of impermeable surfaces is anticipated.
Therefore, development of the project site will not result in impacts related to groundwater supply
and/or recharge beyond that identified in the Final EIR.
e) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which wouM result in substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off-site?
No Impact. Development of TT15974 envisions a reduction in the number of dwelling units from
that proposed in the Final EIR and/or Addendum. Changes to the number, location, and/or
configuration of dwelling units will not substantially alter drainage patterns beyond that identified in
previous environmental documents. No impact associated with this issue will occur.

d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the si~!e or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on- or off-site?
No Impact. On-site storm water facilities will be designed, installed, and maintained to adequately
handle the ultimate drainage anticipated for the area. Development of TT15974 will not
substantially modify the configuration of residential and commercial areas, from that identified in the
Final EIR and/or Addendum. Therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur.
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed th,,. capacity of existing or planned
storm water drainage systems or provide substantial addil'ional sources of polluted runoff.
No Impact. The proposed project would reduce the number of dwelling units, while increasing the
amount of commercial space from that identified in the Final EIR and/or Addendum. No significant
increase in the amount of impermeable surfaces is anticipated. Development of the proposed project
will not create or contribute runoffin excess of that identified in the Final EIR. Development of
T1'15974 will adhere to applicable provisions of the NPDES peri'nil: as required by the RWQCB. No
impact beyond that addressed in the Final EIR will occur.
Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
No Impact. Implementation TT15974 will not alter the type of proposed on-site uses from that
envisioned in the Final EIR and/or Addendum. Development within the project site will adhere to
applicable provisions of the NPDES permit as required by the RWQCB. No impact beyond that
addressed in the Final EIR will occur.
g) Place housing within a l O0-year flood hazard area as map'ped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
No Impact. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area. No impact associated
with this issue will occur.
h) Place within a l O0-year flood hazard area structures whicJi would impede or redirect flood
flows?
No Impact. The project site is not within a 100-year flood hazard area. No impact will occur.
0 Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or da'm ?
No Impact. Development ofT1'15974 includes the installation of on-site storm water facilities.
These facilities will be designed, installed, and maintained to adequately handle the ultimate
drainage anticipated for the area. The proposed project would reduce the number of dwelling units,
while increasing the amount of commercial space from that identified in the Final EIR and
Addendum. These modifications would not increase risks from flood related events beyond that
identified in the Final EIR and Addendum.
LSAASSOCIATE$,INC
j) Be subject to inundation by seiche, tsunamL or mud flow?
No Impact. The project site is not located adjacent to coastal waters or large, contained, bodies of
water. Therefore, impacts resulting from either a tsunami or seiche will not occur. The project site
is relatively flat, sloping generally to the south. The proposed project would reduce the number of
dwelling units, while increasing the amount of commercial space from that identified in the Final
EIR and Addendum. Previous environmental documents did not identify significant impacts related
to seiche, tsunami, or mudflow hazards. Development within the limits of TT15974 are not
substantially altered as to increase potential seiche, tsunami, or mudflow impacts beyond that
identified in the Final EIR and Addendum. No impact with this issue will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
The Final EIR did not include mitigation measures related to hazards and/or hazardous materials
because no significant impacts related to hazards and/or hazardous materials are identified.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
Implementation of the proposed project will not result in new significant impacts or increase the degree
of impacts identified in the Final EIR. No new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for issues
related to hazards and/or hazardous materials.
~lddendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. A comparison of the previous project with the proposed project has determined that
there are no new significant environmental impacts resulting from implementation of proposed project.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Major EIR Revisions
There is no information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial
changes in circumstances that would require major changes to the Final EIR.
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than in Final EIR
This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether there
is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR were certified that may indicate that
a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final EIR. Based on the information and

9.) Land Use and Planning. Would the Projecr..
a) Physically divide an established community?
]~b Impact. Thc project site is currently vacant. Implementation cfTT15974 will not physically
divide an established community; therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with
jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the generai plan, specific plan,
or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect?
No Impact. The Final EIR identified impacts associated with thc modification of land use
designations to approximately 192 acres within the Victoria Community Plan and thc Etiwanda
Specific Plan. Tr15974 is implementing the changes already approved with the amendments to the
Victoria Community Plan and is also implementing thc approved Victoria Arbors Village Plan.
The underlying land use established by thc City would permit thc development of residential,
commercial, community facility, and recreational uses, which transition smoothly from lower
intensity to higher intensity uses. Thc approval and implementation of TT15974 will not
significantly alter thc scale, intensity, or location of on-site uses from that identified in thc Final EIR
and Addendum; therefore, potential impacts associated with this issue will be less than significant
and no further mitigation is required.
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community eonservation
plan?
No Impact. The project site is not located within a habitat conservation plan area or a natural
community conservation plan area; therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
In order to mitigate impacts related to incompatibilities of adjacent land uses, the Final EIR included
the following mitigation measures:
4.1.6A Lots within the Victoria Arbors Village project with backyards that abut upon commercial or
office/professional uses shall be set back 60 feet from the common property line. Homes on lots
whose side yards abut commercial or office/profession uses shall be set back 30 feet from the
common property line. The City determines that the requirement of an additional 20 feet landscape buffer with a non-
buildable deed restriction in perpetuity will rmtigate the incompatible land use.
4.1.6B The number of windows which look onto commercial or office/professional uses shall ~
minimized. Windows which look upon these uses shall be double paned. Window insulation shall
be sufficient to ensure interior noise levels to 45 dB CNEL.
4.1.6C An 8-foot slump block wall shall be constructed along the common property line which
separates the residential and non-residential use. The base of the wall shall be planted with a 16-foot
wide buffer (8 feet of landscaping on each side of the wall). Landscaping materials shall be
reviewed
and
approved by the Planning Director.

4.1.6I) The CC & Rs for any residential unit abutting upon a non-residential use shall disclose the
presence of the adjacent non-residential use and, to the extent possible describe the potential
nuisances which might be generated by the non-residential use.
4.1.6E No residential or non-residential use shall generate noise, odors, or unnecessary light, glare
or shadow beyond the property line of said use.
4.1.6F A 20-foot landscape and 25-foot additional rear yard buffer shall be provided on the north
side of Church Street between Etiwanda Avenue and Day Creek Boulevard. Landscaping materials
shall contain a variety of species used to buffer traffic noise and light and glare from potential
commercial uses south of Church Street. The landscape design shall be reviewed and approved by
the Planning Director.

10. Mineral Resources. Would the Projeca..
a) Result in the loss of availability ora known mineral resource that would be of value to the
region and the residents of the state?
No Impact. Thc project site does not contain any extractable resource; therefore, implementation of
proposed project will not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. No impact
rented to this issue will occur.

a) Result in exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other
agencies?
Less than Significant Impact/No New information or Changed Circumstances requiring Preparation
of an EIR. The Final EIR identified potential noise impacts associated with development of the
proposed project and provided mitigation measures to reduce the significance of these impacts.

Short-Term Construction-Related Impacts
Noise levels from grading and other construction activities for the proposed project may range up to
85 dBA at the closest residences to the northeast of the project site north of Base Line Road or to the
east of Etiwanda Avenue for very limited times when construction occurs near them. Construction-
related noise impacts would be potentially significant; however, with implementation of mitigation
measures identified, the impact would be reduced to less than significant.
Long-Term Traffic Noise Impacts
Increases in nois~ levels could result from project-related traffic on access roads leading to the
project site. Project-related long-term vehicular trip increases would be 36,134 daily. The
incremental project-related traffic noise level increases would be less than 3 dBA, except along
Church Street between Rochester Avenue and future Day Creek Boulevard, where the increase would
be 4.2 dBA but no sensitive uses exist currently in this area. No significant traffic noise impacts on
off-site sensitive uses are anticipated. However, proposed on-site residential uses would potentially
be exposed to traffic noise levels exceeding the 60 dBA Ldn standard recommended for residential
uses. Implementation of mitigation measures would be required to reduce such an impact to less than
significant.
The applicable noise standards governing the project site are the criteria in the City's Noise Element
and Development Code.
Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not alter this assessment. Adherence to mitigation
included in the Final EIR and Addendum will reduce potential impacts associated with this issue to a
less than significant level.
b) Result in exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels?
Less than Significant Impact/No New information or Changed Circumstances requiring Preparation
of an EIR. The Final EIR identified potential impacts associated with ground borne noise levels from
construction of the proposed project and provided mitigation measures to reduce the significance of
these impacts. Excavation, grading, and building erection on site during construction of TT15974
would result in short-term noise impacts. Ambient noise levels during construction would be higher
than the existing ambient noise levels in the project area today, but would no longer occur once
construction of the project is complete. Approval of TT15974 will not alter this assessment.
Adherence to mitigation included in the Final EIR will reduce potential impacts associated with this
issue to a less than significant level.
c) Result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
No Impact. Increases in ambient noise levels for the proposed project are temporary in nature and
would not result in a permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. No impact
would occur.
d) Result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above levels existing without the project?

Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
4.4.1A During all project site excavation and grading on-site, the project contractors shall equip all
construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent
with manufacturers standards.
4.4.1B The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise
is directed away from sensitive receptors to the east of the site.
4.4.1C The consta-uction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the
greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and noise sensitive receptors to the east
of the site during all project construction.
4.4.1D During all project site construction, the construction contractor shall limit all construction-
related activities that would result in high noise levels to between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:00
p.m. Monday through Saturday, unless such construction activities do not result in noise levels
exceeding 45 dBA at residences to the east of the site. No construction shall be allowed on Sundays
and public holidays.
4.4.2A Noise studies shall be required to be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to
final map approval for residential units proposed within the following areas:
· Within 341 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between future Day Creek Boulevard
and Victoria Park Lane.
· Within 397 feet of the centerline of Base Line Road between Victoria Park Lane and

12. Population and Housing. Would the Project...
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for 4~ample, through extension of
roads or other infrastructure) ?
No Impact. No significant impact related to this issue was identified under any previous
environmental documentation for the project site. The proposed project envisions the construction of
554 single-family dwelling units. Based on an average of 3.01 persons per dwelling units, these 554
units would generate a population increase of 1,668 persons. The number of dwelling units proposed
is reduced from ihat approved under the Final EIR and Addendum; therefore, development of the
project site as envisioned in TT15974 would not significantly induce growth beyond that anticipated
by the City. No impact related to this issue will occur.
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing or people, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere?
No Impact. No residential structures are located on-site. No impacts related to this issue will occur.
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?

0 Fireprotection?
Less than Significant Impact/No New information or Changed Circumstances requiring Preparation
of an EIR. As compared to the Final EIR and Addendum, the proposed project will reduce the
number of dwelling units and increase the amount of commercial acreage within the limits of
TT15974 by approximately 3.18 acres. As identified in Final EIR, development associated with the
Victoria Arbors Village would increase the demand for fire protection in the area and would require
additional staffing and facilities to accommodate growth. While the number of dwelling units is
reduced, demand for fire protection services will be similar to that identified in the Final EIR.
Implementation of mitigation included in the Final EIR would reduce impacts associated with this
issue to a less than significant level.
ii) Police protection ?
Less than Significant Impact/No New information or Changed Circumstances requiring Preparation
of an EIR. As compared to the Final EIR and Addendum, the proposed project will reduce the
number of dwelling units and increase the amount of commercial acreage within limits of TT15974.
As identified in Final EIR, development associated with the Victoria Arbors Village would increase
the demand for police protection in the area and would require additional staffing and facilities to
accommodate growth. While the number of dwelling units is reduced by 172 units (offset by an
increase in commercial space), demand for police protection services will be similar to that identified
in the Final EIR. Implementation of mitigation included in the Final EIR would reduce impacts
associated with this issue to a less than significant level.
iii) Schools?

Less than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR. As
identified in the Final Ell>,, development associated with build-out of the Victoria Arbors Village
project will increase demand on local school facilities. Because the number of units envisioned in
TT15974 is reduced from that proposed for the same area in the Final EIR, the demand for school
services and facilities will be proportionally reduced from that identified in the Final EIR.
Implementation of mitigation measures included in the Final EIR will reduce the proposed project's
impact on school facilities.
iv) Parks?
No Impact. Please refer to Responses 14 (a) and (b).
v) Other Public Facilities
No Impact. Development of the proposed project would reduce the number of residential units and
increase the amount of commercial acreage within the limits of TI 15974; therefore, no increase in
the demand for library, medical, or social services will take place. No additional maintenance burden
of public facilities is anticipated. Therefore, no impact associated 'with this issue will occur.
Mitigation Measures from Final EIR
The following mitigation measures directly correspond to the numhered impact statements in the
impact analysis discussion:
Schools:
4.5.1A The developer shall be required to execute an agreement with Etiwanda School District and
Chaffey Joint Union High School District to provide adequate mitigation. Such an agreement shall
be executed prior to Planning Comrmssion approval for any residential project within the General
Plan Amendment area. Actual implementation of the agreement by the payment of fees, dedication
of sites or other mitigation will take place as building permits are obtained.
4.5.1B In the event that the developer declines to execute a mitigation agreement, the City shall
require full mitigation as a condition of approval. Full mitigation shall be accomplished by means of
a requirement to form a Mello-Roos Community Facilities district tbr school facilities. In order to
reduce the burden on the future homeowners, it is possible to structure the community facilities
district such that some of the special taxes would be prepaid by the developer.
Police:
4.5.3A As stated in the General Requirements and Approvals for the Police Department for the City,
a signed consent and waiver form to join and/or form the Law Enforcement Community Facilities
District shall be filed with City Engineering prior to final map approval or the issuance of building
permits, whichever occurs first for any projects within the project area between Base Line Road and

14. Parks and Recreation
a) }VouM the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
LSA ASSOCIATES, INC.
Nolmpact. Development of TT15974 within a portion of the larger Victoria Arbors Village project
area would result in the construction and occupation of 554 dwelling units. Based on a factor of 3.01
persons per dwelling unit, this level of development would increase the City's population by 1,668
persons.
The City requires 5 acres of active park space per every 1,000 residents; therefore, the population
resulting from development of TT15974 will require the provision of 8.34 (1.668 x 5) acres of active
park space. The proposed project provides 10.71 acres of park and trail space. Because the proposed
project provides park space in excess of that required, no impact a:~sociated with this issue will occur.
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?
No Impact. Development of TT15974 will increase the population of the City by 1,668 persons. To
meet the City's active park space requirement, the proposed project will be required to provide 8.31
acres of active park space. Impacts related to the development of park space were addressed in the
Final EIR. The dedication and/or development of park space within the limits of the proposed
project would not result in impacts beyond that identified in the Final EIR.
Mitigation Measures from Final EIR
The mitigation measures Final EIR have been satisfied by the design of the proposed project.
Refined Project Mitigation Measures
The implementation of the proposed project will not result in significant impacts, not identified in the
Final EIR. Therefore, no new and/or refined mitigation measures are required for issues related to
public services issues.
Addendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. Comparison of the previous project with the project as described in the final EIR
of this document indicates that there are increased environmental impacts resulting from
implementation of the Victoria Arbors Village Addendum. However, with refinement and
implementation of new mitigation measures, these impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant
level.
No Substantial Change in Circumstances Requiring Major EIR Revisions
There is no information in the record or otherwise available that indicates that there are substantial
changes in circumstances that would require major changes to the Final EIR.
LSAAS$OCIATES, INC
No New Information Showing Greater Significant Effects than in Final EIR
This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether
there is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR was certified that may
indicate that a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final EIR. Based on the
information and analysis above, there is no substantial new information that there will be new,
significant impacts requiring major revisions of the Final EIR. Impacts associated with parks and
recreation are mitigated to a level of less than significant.
No New Informat!on Showing.4bilio, to Reduce Significant Effects in the Final EIR
The analysis above shows that there are no feasible alternatives to the project that must be considered
to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects identified in the Final EIR.
15. Transportation/Traffic. Would the Projeca..
a) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and
capacity of the street system (Le., result in a substantial increase in either the number of
vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)?
Less than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR. The
proposed project would result in thc construction of 554 residential units and 129,482 square fcct of
commercial uses. When compared to thc Addendum, implementation of TT 15974 would result in
thc construction of 172 fewer residential units and 34,630 more square fcct of commercial space.
While traffic associated with the proposed project would increase traffic volumes beyond that which
currently exist, the amount of traffic resulting from thc project is no greater than that anticipated for
thc certified E]R and Addendum.
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the
coun~ congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
No Impact. No significant increase in the number of vehicle trips, volume to capacity ratios, or
congestion on local roadways is anticipated as a result of development of thc project site (as
entitled). Therefore, impacts to level of service standards will be no greater than identified in the
Final EIR.
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a
change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
No Impact. TT15974 does not include an air transportation component, nor will thc proposed project
affect operations at any local air facility; therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
No Impact. Development of thc Victoria Arbors Village project will not significantly increase the
type or scale of permitted uses within the project site, and will not increase hazards from
2/21/01C:\WlNNTXTemporary lnternet Fi lcs\OLK2\lnitial Study.wpd 3 -54
incompatible uses or design features. Adherence to mitigation measures included in the Final EIR
and applicable City standards will preclude impacts related to this issue.
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
Less than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR.
Development of the project site proposes 554 residential units and 129,482 square feet of commercial
space permitted within the limits of the project site. Compliance with applicable emergency access
requirements of the San Bemardino County Fire Department (SBCFD), San Bemardino County
Sheriffs's Department (SBSD), and/or the City of Rancho Cucamonga will ensure that emergency
response to the site will not be hampered. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not result
in inadequate emergency access, therefore, no impact beyond that :identified in the Final EIR will
OCCur.
Result in inadequate parking capacity?
No Impact. Development of the project site as proposed will not significantly alter the type or scale
of permitted uses within the project site. The Final EIR did not ide. ntify any significant impact
associated with the provision of parking. Parking for commercial uses and community facilities will
be provided per City of Rancho Cucamonga standards. Approval of TT15974 will not alter the
previous assessment, therefore, no impact beyond that identified in the EIR will occur.
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation
(e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
No Impact. TT15974 does not significantly alter the scale or intensity of uses from that identified in
the Final EIR and Addendum. Development within the project site will be subject to applicable City
policies, which support the provisions of alternative methods of transportation; therefore, no impact
related to this issue will occur.
Mitigation Measures from the Final EIR
Adherence to mitigation measures included in the Final EIR will reduce potential impacts associated
with this issue to a less than significant level.

Addendum Determinations
Major EIR Revisions Not Required
Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that major changes to the Final
EIR are required. Comparison of the previous project with the project as described in Section 2.3 of
this document indicates that there are no new significant environmental impacts resulting from
implementation of the proposed project. ~l~

This Initial Study/Addendum has analyzed all available relevant information to determine whether
there is new information that was not available at the time the Final EIR was certified that may
indicate that a new significant effect may occur that was not reported in the Final E1R. Based on the
information and analysis above, there is no substantial new information that there will be new,

No New Information Showing Ability to Reduce Significant Effects in the Final EIR
The analysis above shows that there are no feasible alternatives to the project or additional mitigation
measures that must be considered to substantially reduce one or more of the significant effects
identified in the Final EIR.
16. Utilities and Service Systems. Would the ProjecL..
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Qualit~
Control Board?
Nolmpact. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not alter thc type or scale of water uses
within thc project site. Consequently, thc quality of the wastcwater generated will not change from
previous analysis in the Final EIR and Addendum. Therefore, no impact will occur.
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
No Impact. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is served by thc IEUA for treatment and disposal of
commercial and industrial wastcwater. IEUA provides primary and secondary sewage treatment and
reclamation, and maintains and operates sewer collection systems. IEUA operates three regional
sewage treatment facilities. The closest of these is Regional Plant 1 (RP-1) in the City of Ontario.
This facility currently treats approximately 34 million gallons per day, but has a capacity to treat 44
million gallons per day upon final expansion of the facility.
Regional Plan (RP4), also operated by IEUA, is located on Etiwanda Avenue to the east of the
project site between San Bemardino Avenue and Arrow Highway. This new plant was operational in
February 1998 and is processing about 7 million gallons of effluent per day. Either of these facilities
could serve the project site dependent on project phasing; however, RP-1 would be the most likely
treatment facility. Approval and implementation of TT15974 would not alter the previous
assessment of the Final EIR or Addendum; therefore, no impact is anticipated.

C) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion
of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental
effects ?
No Impact. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not alter the type or scale of uses
previously analyzed in the Final EIR and Addendum for the Victoria Arbors Village project site.
Ctmstmction and/or expansion of storm water drainage facilities beyond that identified in the Final
EIR is not required. The study for final design of these systems, to determine size and location, will
be a condition of development. Therefore, impacts greater than those identified in the Final EIR will
not occur.
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
No Impact. Water would be supplied to the project site by the Cucamonga County Water District
(CCWD). CCWD is a member of the Inland Empire Utility Agency, which in mm is a member
agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The City of Rancho
Cucamonga receives a majority of its water from well water obtained from the Chino Groundwater
Basin and tunnel water (Cucamonga, Day and Deer Canyons). The MWD treatment plant and
reservoir on Foothill Boulevard treats MWD and tunnel water for use in Rancho Cucamonga.
Implementation of TT15974 will not alter the type or scale of uses within the project site. Therefore,
no increase in the demand for water supply or delivery facilities will occur. Therefore, impacts
greater than those identified in the Final Ell>, will not occur.
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve
the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition
to the provider's existing commitments?
No Impact. Approval and implementation of TT15974 will not alter the type or scale of uses within
the project site and would not result in increased sewer flows or increased pressure on existing or
planned wastewater treatment facilities by more than 4.14 percent over the previous project.
Construction and/or expansion of wastewater treatment facilities will not be required as a result
TI'15974. Therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.

Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's
solid waste disposal needs?
No Impact. Trash disposal service in the City of Rancho Cucamonga is provided by three separate
collection services. Trash is currently disposed of at the Mid-Valley Refuse Site located 0.5 mile
north of Highland Avenue and 0.25 mile east of Sierra Avenue in the City of Rialto. The Mid-Valley
Landfill is permitted to ultimately accept 40 million tons of solid waste, an amount which is not
expected to be reached until 2038. Development of TT15974 will not significantly impact current
operations or the expected lifetime of this landfill. Therefore, approval of TT15974 will not alter any
previous assessment in the Final Ell>, or Addendum. No impact related to this issue will occur.
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
No Impact. The transport and disposal of solid waste generated by the proposed project will be
conducted in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal solid waste standards as well as
provisions/programs related to recycling. No impact related to this issue is anticipated.
17. Mandatory Findings of Significance
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory ?
Less than Significant Impact/No Changes or New Information Requiring Preparation of an EIR.
Based on the biological studies conducted during preparation of the Final EIR, no rare, threatened, or
endangered species was detected within the limits of the project site. Approval and implementation
of the TT15974 will not significantly alter the type or scale of uses from that identified in the Final
EIR and Addendum. While the proposed project would result in the loss of potential habitat for rare,
threatened, or endangered species, potential impacts associated with the loss of this habitat would be
no greater than that identified in the Final EIR. Adherence to biological mitigation measures
provided in the Final EIR will reduce any impacts to a less than significant level.
No historic building or structure, archeological, and/or cultural resource were identified within the
limits of the project site. While, the cultural assessment prepared for the Victoria Arbors Village
EIR did not identify on-site cultural, archaeological, or paleontological resources, the Final EIR
identified the potential presence of subsurface archaeological, paleontological, and historic resources
on-site. Adherence to mitigation measures included in the Final EIR would reduce potential impacts
associated with cultural, historic, or paleontological resources to a significance level equal to that
identified in the Final EIR.
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
No Impact. Cumulative impacts associated with development of the project site have been
previously identified in the Final EIR and include:
Traffic: The traffic analysis examines project impacts on the forecast year 2015
traffic conditions within the project study area. As such, ttie analysis considers the
contribution of project traffic and resulting impacts on cumulative traffic conditions
at intersections and on freeways in the project vicinity. Implementation of identified
mitigation measures will off-set the project's cumulative contribution to potential
cumulative traffic impacts.
Air Quality: The cumulative study area for air quality impacts encompasses the
Basin, which is designated non-attainment for ozone, PMm and carbon monoxide.
Operational emissions associated with the proposed project in conjunction with
build out of the City's General Plan, will result in significant, cumulative air quality
impact with the Basin. Emissions of NOx and ROC from construction of the
proposed project would cumulatively contribute to regional ozone formation.
Because the Basin is a nonattainment zone for ozone, this is a significant air quality
impact. Emissions of CO and fugitive dust from construction activity would result in
mostly localized air quality locations would add to the project related localized air
quality impacts.
Biology: It is concluded that the proposed project will res~qt in cumulative impacts
to biological resources in the region through the loss of coastal sage scrub/alluvial
fan scrub, potential habitat for sensitive species, and potential habitat linkage
values. The degree or magnitude of the cumulative impacts is basically speculative
as habitat values of the site are currently low while other values are potential and
would require other land management actions in order to be realized.
Approval of TT15974 will not significantly alter the type or scale cf permitted uses within the
project site. Implementation of TT15974 will not result in cumulative impacts greater than that
identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur.
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
No Impact. Potential impacts associated with development of the Victoria Arbors Village have been
identified and (where necessary) mitigated for in the Final EIR. Approval and implementation of
TT15974 will not alter this assessment. Development of TT15974 will not result in direct or indirect
impacts greater than that identified in the Final EIR; therefore, no impact associated with this issue
will occur.

APPENDIX A
MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN
This mitigation monitoring plan has been prepared for use in implementing mitigation measures
identified in the TT 15974 Mitigated Negative Declaration. This program has been prepared in
compliance with the State law to ensure compliance with mitigati{m measures adopted for the project
by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Assembly Bill 3180 (Public Resources Code, Paragraph
201081.6), effective January 1,1989, requires adoption of a report:ing or monitoring program for
those conditions of approval placed on a project to mitigate or ave.id adverse effects on the
environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure
compliance during project implementation.
The monitoring program contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action
and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. In some instances, one action, such as plan
review, may be used to verify implementation of several conditions of approval.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary.
This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to
whom and when compliance will be reported.
3. The program has been designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to
compliance procedures may be necessary based on recomxnendations by those responsible
for the program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and records
will be developed and incorporated into the program.
The mitigation measures are listed in the order in which they appear in the Initial Study.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
AND CUCAMONGA 220, L.P.
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and
entered into as of this __ day of , 2001, by and
between the CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, a municipal corporation
and general law city ("City"), and CUCAMONGA 220, L.P., a
California limited partnership ("Owner") .
WI TNES SETH:
A. The lack of certainty in the approval of
development projects can result in a waste of resources,
escalate the cost of housing and other development, and
discourage investment in and commitment to comprehensive
planning which would make maximum efficient utilization of
resources at the least economic cost to the public.
B. California Government Code Sections 65864-65869.5
(the "Development Agreement Statute") were therefore enacted
authorizing a municipality to enter into binding development
agreements with persons having legal or equitable interests in
real property.
C. Owner has a legal or equitable interest in
certain real property located in City more particularly
described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein
by this reference (the "Property"). For purposes of this
Agreement, the Property shall not include the approximately 55
acres currently controlled by Owner generally south of the
proposed extension of Church Street and east of the proposed
extension of Day Creek Boulevard ("55 Acre Exclusion") that is
contemplated to be sold to the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment
Agency (~'Agency").
D. Subject to the provisions of the ~'Project
Approvals" (as defined below), Owner's project will constitute
approximately 246 acres that will be developed as depicted on
the illustrative plan attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (the
'~Project").
E. The Project is located within an approximately
440 acre area that includes the Property and that is undergoing
a master planning process (the "Master Planning Process"). The
Master Planning Process includes amendments to the relevant
sections of the Cit__y's General Plan (the "G~eneral Plan"), the
Victoria Community Plan (the ~Victoria Community Plan"), and the
Etiwanda Specific Plan (the "Etiwanda Specific Plan"). The
Victoria Lakes Section of the Victoria Community Plan has been
renamed Victoria Arbors with certain other modifications. The
City Council and Planning Commission approved the Conceptual
Plan ("Conceptual Plan") on July 19, 2000. The amendments to
the General Plan, the Victoria Community Plan and the Etiwanda
Specific Plan were approved on , 2000. Owner and City
agree that future non-substantive amendments to the General
Plan, Victoria Community Plan, and Etiwanda Specific Plan may be
necessary to ensurc continue to maintain consistency and
appropriate cross-references between and among the documents.
F. One key objective of the Master Planning Process
is the development of a regional commercial center, including a
regional mall and related uses on land adjacent to the Project
("Regional Commercial Center"), including the 55 Acre Exclusion.
The Regional Commercial Center, including the 55 Acre Exclusion
is depicted in the attached Exhibit "C."
G. On July 9, 1999, the City Council (the
"Council"), after making appropriate findings, certified a Final
Environmental Impact Report entitled pursuant to the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, such
Final Environmental Impact Report being more specifically
identified as EIR No. State Clearinghouse No. (the
"EIR"). On , the City Council adopted an
addendum to the previously certified EIR with regard to the
Project Approvals and this Development Agreement.
H. Concurrently with adoption of the Ordinance
approving this Agreement, the City has approved Tentative Tract
Map No. __with Conditions of Approval ("Tentative Map"), and
the Victoria Arbors Master Plan ("Master Plan"). A depiction of
the Tentative Map is attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Exhibit "D." (Collectively, the General Plan Amendment No.
, Victoria Community Plan Amendment No. VCP-98-01, Etiwanda
............. ~ Specific Plan Amendment No. ESPA 98-01, the Tentative
Map, and the Master Plan are hereinafter referred to as the
'~Project Approvals".) In addition to the Project Approvals,
Owner shall process and City shall approve and cause to be
recorded a large-lot subdivision map for f~nancing purposes only
which shall offer for dedication necessary easements for public
rights-of-way and related infrastructure but shall not require
infrastructure improvements. The large lot parcel map shall be
recorded prior to close of escrow on the 55 Acre Exclusion.
I. Development of the Project will further the
comprehensive planning objectives contained within City's
...... ~ ~ General Plan, as amended, the Victoria Community
Plan, as amended, the Etiwanda Specific Plan, as amended and
will result in public benefits, including, among others, the
following:
1. Fulfilling long-term economic and social
goals for City and the community;
2. Providing fiscal benefits to City's General
Fund;
3. Providing both short-term construction
employment and long-term permanent employment within City;
4. Financing and constructing significant
infrastructure improvements that will serve the region and the
community;
5. Phasing the construction of public
infrastructure improvements with private development;
6. Providing housing which will help to satisfy
City's obligation to meet City's share of regional housing
needs;
7. Enhancing City's active and passive
recreational elements;
8. Significantly enhance the possibility that
the goals of the Master Planning Process will be realized,
including the development of a Regional Commercial Center,
including a mall site that will substantially benefit the
community;
9. Facilitating the development of an
elementary school site within the Project; and,
10. Facilitating the development of a 7.5 acre
park within the Project.
J. The Parties have entered into this Agreement
based in part on the Owner's intent to sell and the City
Redevelopment Agency's ("Agency") intent to buy the 55 Acre
Exclusion for use as an integral part of the Regional Commercial
Center. Owner is selling the 55 Acre Exclusion to Agency
pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated
, 2001.
K. For the reasons recited herein, City has
determined that the Project is a development for which a
development agreement is appropriate under the Development
Agreement Statute.
L. The Council has determined that this Agreement is
consistent with the General Plan, the Victoria Community Plan
the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the Master Plan and specifically
has determined that this Agreement is fair, just and reasonable,
and City has concluded that the economic interests of its
citizens and the public health, safety and welfare will be best
served by entering into this Agreement.
M. The Planning Commission of City (the "Planning
Co~nmission") held duly noticed public hearings on this Agreement
on , 2001.
N. The Council, after a duly noticed hearing,
adopted Ordinance No. __, approving this Agreement, which
ordinance will become effective on (the "Effective
Date").
NOW, THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing
recitals and in consideration of the mutual promises,
obligations and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

SECTION II. BENEFITS TO CITY. In consideration of the
benefits resulting from this Project, including, but not limited
to, increasing the likelihood of development of the Regional
Commercial Center as a result of the proposed sale of the 55
Acre Exclusion to the Agency, the significant infrastructure
improvements that Owner will be contributing to and in
accordance with the infrastructure phasing plan (the
"Infrastructure Phasing Plan") set forth in the attached Exhibit
"E," and the benefit to the community that the development of
the Project represents, all of which will provide a significant
overall benefit to City, City has agreed to enter into this
Agreement.
SECTION III. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT.
A. Permitted Uses. The parties hereby agree that, for
the term of this Agreement, the permitted uses, the density and
intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed
buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for
public purposes and location of public improvements, shall be
those set forth in this Agreement, the Project Approvals and the
"Applicable Rules" (as hereinafter defined).
B. Rules, Regulations and Official Policies.
1. Applicable Rules. The parties hereby agree that,
for the term of this Agreement, the rules, regulations and
official policies governing permitted uses, governing density,
and governing design, improvement and specifications applicable
to development of the Property shall be those rules, regulations
and official policies in force at the time of the Effective
Date, including, without limitation, the Project Approvals
(collectively, the ~'Applicable Rules"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude City from
applying changes occurring from time to time in the Uniform
Building Code, Uniform Electrical Code, Uniform Fire Code,
Uniform Mechanical Code, or Uniform Plumbing Code, provided that
such changes are generally applicable to all property in City.
Prior to the Effective Date, City and Owner shall
use reasonable efforts to identify two identical sets of the
Applicable Rules, one set for City and one set for Owner, so
that if it becomes necessary in the future to refer to any of
the Applicable Rules, there will be a common set of the
Applicable Rules available to both parties.
2. Conflicting Enactments. Any change in the
Applicable Rules, including, without limitation, any change in
any applicable general, community plan, area or specific plan,
zoning, subdivision rule or regulation, adopted or becoming
effective after the Effective Date, including, without
limitation, any such change by means of an ordinance,
initiative, resolution, policy, order or moratorium, initiated
or instituted for any reason whatsoever and adopted by the
Council, the Planning commission or any other board, agency,
commission or department of City, or any officer or employee
thereof, or by the electorate, as the case may be, which would,
absent this Agreement, otherwise be applicable to the Property
and which would conflict in any way with or be more restrictive
than the Applicable Rules ("Subsequent Rules"), shall not be
applied by City to the Property. Owner may give City written
notice of its election to have any Subsequent Rule applied to
the Property, in which case such Subsequent Rule shall be deemed
to be an Applicable Rule.
3. Setbacks, Design Guidelines, Landscape Guidelines
and Park Improvements. The front, side, and rear setbacks for
alii dwelling units and commercial structures shall be consistent
with the Applicable Rules. Design guidelines, landscape
guidelines and park improvements shall conform to the Applicable
Rules.
C. Future Approvals. Any development of the Property
shall require all discretionary approvals required by the
Applicable Rules (collectively, the "Future Approvals"). Upon
granting of any of the Future Approvals, as they may be amended
from time to time, they shall become part of the Applicable
Rules, and Owner shall have a "vested right", as that term is
defined under California law, in and to such Future Approvals by
virtue of this Agreement.
D. Permitted Fees. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, and specifically excluding fees set by entities not
controlled by City that are collected by City, City shall only
charge and impose those fees and exactions, including, without
limitation, dedications and any other fee or tax (including
excise, construction or any other tax) relating to development
or the privilege of developing, which are in effect on a City-
wide basis as of the Effective Date. Owner shall only be
responsible for payment of those development fees listed in the
attached Exhibit "F" to be calculated as indicated therein.
This Section shall not be construed to limit the authority of
City to charge normal and customary application, processing, and
permit fees for land use approvals, building permits and other
similar permits, which fees are designed to reimburse City's
expenses attributable to such application, processing and
permitting and are in force and effect on a City-wide basis at
such time as said approvals and permits are granted by City.
E. Permitted Conditions. Provided Owner's applications
for any Future Approvals are consistent with this Agreement and
the Applicable Rules, City shall grant in a timely manner the
Future Approvals in accordance with the Applicable Rules and
authorize development of the Property for the uses and to the
density of the Project described herein. City shall only have
the right to impose conditions consistent with those conditions
indicated on the attached Exhibit ~G," which include the
Conditions of Approval for the Tentative Map and any applicable
EIR Mitigation Measures as set forth in Exhibit G, in approving
subsequent tentative subdivision maps.
F. Term of Map(s) and Other Project Approvals. Pursuant
to California Government Code Sections 66452.6(a) and 65863.9,
the term of any subdivision or parcel map that may be processed
on all or any portion of the Property and the term of each of
the Project Approvals shall be extended for a period of time
through the scheduled termination date of this Agreement as set
forth in Section V.K below.
G. Timing of Development. Because the California Supreme
Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37
Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to
provide for the timing of development resu].ted in a later-
adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to
prevail over the parties' agreement, it is the parties' intent
to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that,
subject to infrastructure phasing requirements that are set
forth in the Infrastructure Phasing Plan, Owner shall have the
right (without obligation) to develop the Property in such order
and at such rate and at such times as Owner deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business judgment.
H. Moratorium. No City-imposed moratorium or other
limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing or sequencing
of the development or construction of all or any part of the
Property, whether imposed by ordinance, initiative, resolution,
policy, order or otherwise, and whether enacted by the Council,
an agency of City, the electorate, or otherwise) affecting
parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative, vesting tentative
or final), building permits, occupancy certificates or other
entitlements to use or service (including, without limitation,
water and sewer) approved, issued or granted within City, or
portions of City, shall apply to the Property to the extent such
moratorium or other limitation is in conflict with this
Agreement; provided, however, the provisions of this Section
shall not affect City's compliance with moratoria or other
limitations mandated by other governmental agencies or court-
imposed moratoria or other limitations.
I. Vesting of Owner's Rights. The rights and
entitlements granted to Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall
be and constitute "vested rights" or the equivalent of "vested
rights", as that term is defined under California law applicable
to the development of land or property and the right of a public
entity to regulate or control such development of land or
property, including, without limitation, vested rights in and to
building permits and certificates of occupancy.
J. Infrastructure Capacity. Subject to Owner's
installation of infrastructure in accordance with the
requirements of the Project Approvals and the Infrastructure
Phasing Plan, City hereby acknowledges that it will have
sufficient capacity in its infrastructure and services,
including, without limitation, traffic circulation, storm
drainage, flood control, and sanitation service to accommodate
the Project. To the extent that City renders such services or
provides such utilities, City hereby agrees that it will serve
the Project and that there shall be no restriction on hookups or
service for the Project, except for reasons beyond City's
control.
K. Infrastructure Phasing Flexibility. Notwithstanding
the provisions of the Infrastructure Phasing Plan or the
provisions of any of the Project Approvals, Owner and City
recognize that economic and market conditions may necessitate
changing the order in which the infrastructure covered by the
Infrastructure Phasing Plan is constructed. Therefore, City and
Owner hereby agree that should it become necessary or desirable
to develop any portion of the Project's infrastructure in an
order that varies from the order set forth in the Infrastructure
Phasing Plan, Owner and City shall collaborate in good faith and
City shall permit any reasonable variation requested by Owner so
long as the variation continues to ensure adequate
infrastructure consistent with the Phasing Plan. The City
Manager shall have the authority to grant variations pursuant to
this section.
L. Development Agreement/Project Approvals. In the event
of any inconsistency between any Project Approval and this
Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
SECTION IV. COOPERATION/IMPLeMeNTATION.
A. Further Assurances; Covenant to Sign Documents. Each
party shall take all actions and do all things, and execute,
with acknowledgment or affidavit, if required, any and all
documents and writings, that may be necessary or proper to
achieve the purposes and objectives of this Agreement.
B. Public Financing of Improvements. Owner may, from
time to time, request City to establish one or more assessment
and/or community facilities districts and/or integrated
financing districts (~'IFD") and/or to adopt one or more
development fees (pursuant to the provisions of Government Code
Section 66000, et seq.) and/or enter into a reimbursement
agreement pursuant to the IFD or the Government Code to finance
infrastructure, public facilities and/or fees (~Financing
Mechanism") that may be required in connection with the
development of the Project. City agrees to sponsor and
diligently implement such Financing Mechanism, subject to all
applicable legal requirements. City agrees to use its best
efforts to implement such requests subject to applicable state
and federal law and subject to the following:
1. General Parameters.
a) Upon written request of the City, Owner will
advance amounts necessary to pay all costs and expenses of City
to evaluate and structure any Financing Mechanism solely for the
benefit of Owner's Property, to the end that City will not be
obligated to pay any costs related to the formation or
implementation of any Financing Mechanism from its own general
funds. City staff will meet with the Owner to establish a
preliminary budget for such costs, and will confer with Owner
from time to time as to any necessary modifications to that
budget.
b) Any Financing Mechanism will provide for the
reimbursement to Owner of any advances by Owner described in
subparagraph a above, and any other costs incurred by Owner that
are related to the Financing Mechanism, such as the costs of
legal counsel, special tax consultants, engineers, etc. Owner
agrees to promptly submit to City a detailed accounting of all
such other costs incurred by Owner at such time.as Owner makes
application for reimbursement.
c) City shall consult with Owner prior to
engaging any consultant (including bond counsel, ~nderwriters,
appraisers, market absorption analysts, financial advisors,
special tax consultant, assessment engineer and other
consultants deemed necessary to accomplish any financing) and
Owner shall be allowed an opportunity to provide input on each
proposed consultant.
C. Cost Sharing.
1. Cost Sharing Methodology. In connection, with
Owner's development of the Project, Owner will be required by
the Project Approvals to construct infrastructure improvements
containing supplemental size, capacity, number and/or length
("Master Infrastructure Improvements") that will serve other
properties in the vicinity of the Property, in.cludin~ the
Regional Commercial Center ("Benefited Properties"). City has,
with Owner's concurrence, identified Master Infrastructure
Improvements and estimated Master Infrastructure Improvement
costs for which the Property and the Benefited Properties will
be responsible as set forth in the ~Infrastructure Cost Estimate
Breakdown" attached hereto as Exhibit ~H" and incorporated
herein by reference. In addition, City has, with Owner's
concurrence, determined a percentage allocation reflecting the
percentage of the Master Infrastructure Improvements for which
the Property and the Benefited Properties are responsible as set
forth in the ~Master Infrastructure Percentage Allocation"
attached hereto as Exhibit '~I" and incorporated herein by
reference. City and Owner hereby agree that the "Infrastructure
Cost Estimate Breakdown" and the "Master Infrastructure
Percentage Allocation" constitute the basis by which cost
sharing is determined. City hereby agrees that it will, (a)
upon Owner's reasonable request and (b) on its own initiative
periodically, review and update the ~'Infrastructure Cost
Estimate Breakdown" in order to ensure that the costs reflected
therein are sufficient to cover the costs to construct the
Master Infrastructure Improvements.
2. Funding for Master Infrastructure Improvements
Beyond Project Allocable Share. [Needs to incorporate process
for funding of Master Infrastructure Improvements not allocable
to Project consistent with final Purchase and Sale Agreement
with Agency].
D. Processing During Third Party Litigation. The filing
of any third party lawsuit(s) against City or Owner relating to
this Agreement, the Project Approvals or to other development
issues affecting the Property shall not delay or stop the
development, processing or construction of the Project, approval
of the Future Approvals, or issuance of ~inistcrlal
Approvalz"Ministerial Approvals" (as hereinafter defined),
unless the third party obtains a court order preventing the
activity. City shall not stipulate to the issuance of any such
32294/744272vll vs. 744272v10 17
order. For purposes of this Agreement the term "Ministerial
Approvals" shall be defined to mean approvals rec[uirinq the
determination of conformance with the Appl~icable Rules,
including, without limitation, site plans, design review,
development plans, land use plans, grading plans, improvement
plans, building plans and specifications, and ministerial
issuance of one or more final maps, zoning clearances, grading
permits, improvement permits, wall permits, building permits,
lot line adjustments, encroachment permits, conditional and
temporary use permits, certificates of use and occupancy and
approvals and entitlements and related matters as may be
necessary for the completion of the development of the Property.
E. State, Federal or Case Law. Where any state, federal
or case law allows City to exercise any discretion or take any
act with respect to that law, City shall, in an expeditious and
timely manner, at the earliest possible time, (a) exercise its
discretion in such a way as to be consistent with, and carry out
the terms of, this Agreement and (b) take such other actions as
may be necessary to carry out in good faith the terms of this
Agreement.
Fi Other Governmental Bodies. To the extent that City,
the Council, Planning Commission or any other City agency
constitutes and sits as any other board or agency, it shall not
take any action that conflicts with City's obligations under
this Agreement.
G. Defense of Agreement. City shall take all actions
which are necessary or advisable to uphold the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement. If this Agreement is
adjudicated or determined to be invalid or unenforceable, City
agrees, subject to all legal requirements, to consider
modifications to this Agreement to render it valid and
enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
H. Desiqn/Development Standards. Notwithstanding the
provisions of the Applicable Rules, the following
design/development standards shall apply to the Project:
1. This Agreement shall grant owner the vested right
to develop the Project consistent with the Project Approvals.
2. With regard to Planning Areas # and #
depicted on Exhibit "B", Owner shall have the right to develop
the Planning Areas consistent with a land-use designation which
allows 5-10 single family detached dwelling units per acre.
However, the City shall not reduce the density in Planning Areas
#__ and #__ below the number of units that could be placed in
these Planning Areas assuming lot sizes of 53 feet by 100 feet.
3. The Project shall be subject to design review,
consistent with the Master Plan. As part of the design review
process, the City shall not require larger lots nor allow less
units than those allowed pursuant to this Agreement, including
Exhibit "D."
4. Easements dedicated for pedestrian use shall be
permitted to include easements for underground drainage, water,
sewer, gas, electricity, telephone, cable and other utilities ~'
and facilities so long as they do not unreasonably interfere
with pedestrian use; and
I. Day Creek Channel. City shall diligently and in good
faith support negotiations with the County Flood Control
District to provide the absolute right for the Project to
connect with Day Creek Channel without creating any
detention/retention basin.
J. Condemnation. If necessary, and subject to all
applicable legal requirements, including holding of a public
hearing for purposes of consideration of a resolution of
necessity, City shall use its power of eminent domain to, or
otherwise acquire, including but not limited to, necessary ~
offsite rights-of-way and easement areas required for
construction of roads, grading, temporary detention basins and
offsite infrastructure to serve the Project consistent with
Prcject Approval.
K. Improvement Plans. City shall help coordinate and
expedite improvement plans through the California Department of
Transportation and other State or Federal agencies, as required.
L. Foothill Storm Drain. If necessary, and subject to
all applicable legal requirements, includin~ holding of a public
hearing for purposes of consideration of a resolution of
necessity, City shall use its power of eminent domain to, or
otherwise acquire, necessary easements, riglhts of entry other
legal authorization to facilitate the installation of a storm
drain or temporary detention basin south of Foothill.
M. Landscape Areas. City or City landscaping and
lighting or similar district shall assume ownership and
maintenance of open space areas within the Project. To the
extent reasonably necessary, the Project shall annex into R.C.
Landscape District Number 2 to pay its fair share of costs
associated with maintenance of the open space areas. The
Project's initial share per residential parcel share shall be
$422/year.
N. Closing of Escrow on 55 Acre Exclusion.
1. The sale of the 55 Acre Exclusion to Agency shall
not close until: (1) Owner has received all of the Project
Approvals and approval of this Development Agreement; and, (2)
the 90 day statute of limitation applicable to legal challenges
to the Project Approvals and this Agreement has run, or, to the
extent legal challenge(s) have been filed, all litigation has
been finally resolved to the satisfaction of Owner.
........ ~ ............ s~cs ........ ~ .... l~. If the Acre Exclusion
is not conveyed to the Aqency on or before January 1, 2002, and
the parties do not mutually aqree to extend the January 1, 2002
date, this Aqreement shall be deemed terminated and of no
further force or effect; provided, however, such termination
shall not affect any right or duty arisinq from any Project
Approvals or Future Approvals; and provided, further, however,
in no event shall this Agreement be deemed terminated if the
sole reason for the failure of the 55 Acre Exclusion to be
conveyed to the Agency is the Agency's being in default under
the Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby Owner agrees to convey
title to the 55 Acre Exclusion to the Agency. In addition, (a)
the issuance of any bonds under any Financing Mechanism that
would affect the 55 Acre Exclusion shall be: conditioned upon
(and may be concurrent with) the date the 55 Acre Exclusion is
transferred to the Agency and (b) no building permit shall be
issued to Owner until the earlier of (i) January 1, 2002 or (ii)
the date the 55 Acre Exclusion is transferred to the Agency.
SECTION V. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
A. Covenants Run with the Land. Ail of the provisions,
agreements, rights, powers, standards, terms, covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon
the parties and their respective heirs, successors {by merger,
reorganization, consolidation or otherwise) and assigns,
devisees, administrators, representatives, lessees, and all
other persons acquiring the Property, or any portion thereof, or
any interest therein, whether by operation of law or in any
manner whatsoever, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. Ail of the
provisions of this Agreement shall constitute covenants running
with the land.
B. Transfers and Assignments.
1. Right to Assign. Owner shall have the right to
sell, assign or transfer all or portions of the real property
comprising the Property to any person at any time during the
term of this Agreement.
2. Liabilities Upon Transfer. Upon the delegation
of all duties and obligations and the sale, transfer or
assignment of all or any portion of the Property, Owner shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect
to the Property, or portion thereof, so transferred arising
subsequent to the effective date of such transfer if (i). Owner
has provided to City ten days' written notice of such transfer
and (ii) the transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to
all of the provisions hereof applicable to the portion of the
Property so transferred. Upon any transfer of any portion of
the Property and the express assumption of Owner's obligations
under this Agreement by such transferee, City agrees to look
solely to the transferee for compliance by such transferee with
the provisions of this Agreement as such provisions relate to
the portion of the Property acquired by such transferee. A
default by any transferee shall only affect that portion of the
Property owned by such transferee and shall not cancel or
diminish in any way Owner's rights hereunder with respect to any
portion of the Property not owned by such transferee. The
transferee shall be responsible for the reporting and annual
review requirements relating to the portion of the Property
owned by such transferee, and any amendment to this Agreement
between City and a transferee shall only affect the portion of
the Property owned by such transferee.
C. Mortgagee Protection. The parties hereto agree that
this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Owner, in any manner,
at Owner's sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any
portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed
of trust or other security device securing financing with
respect to the Property. City acknowledges that the lender(s)
providing such financing may require certain Agreement
interpretations and modifications and agrees upon request, from
time to time, to meet with Owner and representatives of such
lender(s) to negotiate in good faith any such request for
interpretation or modification. City will not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation or
modification provided such interpretation or modification is
consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any
mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust
("Mortgagee") of the Property shall be entitled to the following
rights and privileges:
1. Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach
of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or
impair the lien of any mortgage or deed of ~srust on the Property
made in good faith and for value.
2. If City timely receives a request from a
Mortgagee requesting a copy of any notice of default given to
Owner under the terms of this Agreement, City shall provide a
copy of that notice to the Mortgagee within ten days of sending
the notice of default to Owner. The Mortgagee shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure the default during the
remaining cure period allowed such party under this Agreement.
3. Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the
Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the
mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such foreclosure,
shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms
of this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall such
Mortgagee be liable for any defaults or monetary obligations of
Owner arising prior to acquisition of title to the Property by
such Mortgagee, except that any such Mortgagee or its successors
or assigns shall not be entitled to a building permit or
occupancy certificate until all delinquent and current fees and
other monetary obligations due under this Agreement for the
Property, or portion thereof, acquired by such Mortgagee have
been paid to City.
D. Statement of Compliance. Within thirty days following
any written request which either City or Owner may make from
time to time, the other shall execute and deliver to the
requesting party a statement certifying that to the City's
Cit¥'s/Aqency's knowledge: (1) this Agreement is unmodified and
in full force and effect or, if there have been modifications
hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and effect, as
modified, and stating the date and nature of such modifications;
(2) there are no current uncured defaults under this Agreement
or specifying the dates and nature of any such defaults; and (3)
any other reasonable information requested.. The failure to
deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon
the party which fails to deliver such statement that this
Agreement is in full force and effect without modification and
~hat there are no uncured defaults in the performance of the
requesting party. The City Manager shall be authorized to
execute any such statement.
E. Default. Failure by City or Owner to perform any term
or provision of this Agreement for a period of thirty days from
the receipt of written notice thereof from the other shall
constitute a default under this Agreement, subject to extensions
of time by mutual consent in writing. Said. notice shall specify
in detail the nature of the alleged default and the manner in
which said default may be satisfactorily cured. If the nature
of the alleged default is such that it cannot reasonably be
cured within such 30-day period, the commencement of the cure
within such time period and the diligent prosecution to
completion of the cure shall be deemed a cure within such
period.
Subject to the foregoing, after notice and expiration
of the 30-day period without cure, the notifying party, at its
option, may institute legal proceedings pursuant to this
Agreement and/or give notice of intent to t,~rminate this
Agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 65868. Following
such notice of intent to terminate, the matter shall be
scheduled for consideration and review by the Council within
thirty calendar days in the manner set forth in Government Code
Sections 65867 and 65868. Following consideration of the
evidence presented in said review before the Council and a
determination that a default exists, the party alleging the
default by the other party may give written notice of
termination of this Agreement to the other party.
F. Annual Review. Pursuant to Government Code Section
65865.1, throughout the term of this Agreement, good faith
compliance with the terms of this Agreement by Owner shall be
reviewed by the Planning Commission at the regularly scheduled
Planning Commission meeting next following each annual
anniversary of the Effective Date. If as a result of such
review, City reasonably determines, on the basis of substantial
evidence presented at such meeting, that Owner has not complied
in good faith with the terms and conditions hereof, City shall
provide written notice thereof ("Notice of Non-Compliance"),
stating in specific detail and specific reasons for such
finding. After City delivers the Notice of Non-Compliance,
Owner shall have the right to cure such non-compliance as
provided in Section V.E. above. In the event that Owner does
not timely cure the non-compliance after a Notice of Non-
Compliance is delivered by City or, if during the period which
Owner must cure such default, Owner ceases to make reasonable
efforts to effect such cure, City may proceed to terminate this
Agreement on ten days' prior written notice to Owner in
accordance with the termination procedure set forth in Section
V.E. above.
G. Default by City. In the event City defaults (as
defined in Section V.E. herein) under the terms of this
Agreement, Owner shall have all rights and remedies provided
herein or under applicable law, including the specific
performance of this Agreement.
H. Legal Action. Any party may, in addition to any other
rights or remedies, institute legal action to cure, correct or
remedy any default, enforce any covenant or agreement herein,
enjoin any threatened or attempted violation hereof, or enforce
by specific performance the obligations and rights of the
parties hereto.
Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, et
seq., all legal actions shall be heard by a referee who shall be
a retired judge from either the San Bernardino County Superior
Court, the California Court of Appeal, the United States
District Court or the United States Court of Appeals, provided
that the selected referee shall have experience in resolving
land use and real property disputes. Owner and City shall agree
upon a.single referee who shall then try all issues, whether of
fact or law, and report a finding and judgment thereon and issue
all legal and equitable relief appropriate 'under the
circumstances of the controversy before such referee. If Owner
and City are unable to agree on a referee within ten days of a
written request to do so by either party hereto, either party
may seek to have one appointed pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure Section 640. The cost of such proceeding shall
initially be borne equally by the parties. Any referee selected
pursuant to this Section V.H. shall be considered a temporary
judge appointed pursuant to Article 6, section 21 of the
California Constitution.
I. Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure by City or Owner
to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions
of this Agreement, irrespective of the len§th of time for which
such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to demand strict compliance with this Agreement in the
future. No waiver by City or Owner of a default or breach of
any other party shall be effective or binding upon it unless
made in writing, and no such waiver shall be implied from any
omission by City or O~rner to take any action with respect to
such default or breach. No express written waiver of any
defaults or breach shall affect any other default or breach, or
cover any other period of time, other than any default or breach
and/or period of time specified in such express waiver. One or
more written waivers of a default or breach under any provision
of this Agreement shall not be a waiver of any subsequent
default or breach, and the performance of the same or any other
term or provision contained in this Agreement. Subject to
notice of default and opportunity to cure under Section V.E.,
all of the remedies permitted or available under this Agreement,
at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and alternative, and
invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a
waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other
permitted or available right or remedy.
J. Future Litigation Expenses.
1. Payment to Prevailing Party. If City or Owner
brings an action or proceeding (including, without limitation,
any motion, order to show cause, cross-complaint, counterclaim,
or third-party claim) by reason of defaults, breaches, tortious
acts, or otherwise arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to its
costs and expenses of suit including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expert witness fees.
2. Scope of Fees. Attorneys' fees under this
Section shall include attorneys' fees on any appeal and, in
addition, a party entitled to attorneys' fees shall be entitled
to all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such action. In addition to the foregoing award
of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, the prevailing party
in any lawsuit shall be entitled to its attorneys' fees incurred
in any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce the
judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall'
survive the merger of this Agreement into any judgment on this
Agreement.

L. Permitted Delays; Supersedure by .Subsequent Laws.
1. Permitted Delays. In addition to any specific
provisions of this Agreement, performance of obligations
hereunder shall be excused and the Term of ~:his Agreement shall
be similarly extended during any period of delay caused at any
time by reason of: acts of God such as floods, earthquakes,
fires, or similar catastrophes; wars, riots or similar
hostilities; strikes and other labor difficulties beyond the
party's control (including the party's employment force); the
enactment of new laws or restrictions imposed or mandated by
other governmental or quasi-governmental entities preventing

Agreement, the Project Approvals, the Future Approvals or the
Ministerial Approvals, which directly or indirectly delays any
activity contemplated hereunder, delay in the issuance of bonds

promptly notify the other party of any delay hereunder as soon
as possible after the same has been ascertained.
2. Supersedure by Subsequent Laws. If any federal
or state law, made or enacted after the Effective Date prevents
or precludes compliance with one or more provisions of this
Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the
extent feasible, be modified or suspended as may be necessary to
comply with such new law. Immediately after enactment or
promulgation of any such new law, city and Owner shall meet and
confer in good faith to determine the feasibility of any such
modification or suspension based on the effect such modification
or suspension would have on the purposes and intent of this
Agreement. Owner and/or City shall have the right to challenge
the new law preventing compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, and in the event such challenge is successful, this
Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
At Owner's sole option, the term of this A~reement may be
extended for the duration of the period during which such new
law precludes compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

from time to time by mutual consent of the parties to this
Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Government Code
Sections 65867 and 65868.

require a close degree of cooperation between City and Owner and
the refinements and further development of the Project may
demonstrate that clarifications are appropriate with respect to
the details of performance of City and Owner. If and when, from
time to time, during the term of this Agreement, City and Owner
agree that such clarifications are necessary or appropriate,
they shall effectuate such clarifications through operating
memoranda approved by City and Owner, which, after execution,
shall be attached hereto. No such operating memoranda shall
constitute an amendment to this Agreement requiring public
notice or hearing. The City Attorney and City Manager shall be
authorized to make the determination whether a requested
clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or
whether the requested clarification is of such a character to
constitute an amendment hereof pursuant to Section V.M. The
322'4/7442~2vll VS. 744272V10 34 ~-~__ ~ "~,~,~ 02/e?/O1
City Manager may execute any operating memoranda hereunder

according to their common meaning and not strictly for or

The three single-family parcels meet or exceed all of the minimum lot dimensions and area
requirements of'the Development Code. Parcel 1 is proposed as a flag lot and is consistent
with the Development Code standards. The parcels are located on the west side of London
Avenue, where Banyan Street intersects onto London Avenue. The parcels are surrounded
on three sides by existing single-family neighborhoods. To the north and west are vacant
single-family lots. A 21-foot access easement is being provided in the "flag" to provide future
access to the landlocked parcel to the west (see Exhibit "B"). The 21-foot access easement
requirement is a response to access concams raised by John Wang, the property owner of the
landlocked parcel west of the project site, during the Planning Commission hearing for Tract
15963, which borders the project site to the south. Planning Commission Action minutes for
Tract 15963 have been attached for your reference (see Exhibit "D").

Rudy Zeledon, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report. He indicated that two residents were in
the audience and wished to discuss their concerns.
D~ Planning Commission Minutes -2- February 9, 2000
Chairman McNiel observed that the applicant had appeared reluctant to enhance the buildings as
requested by the Design Review Committee. He asked what assurance the City had that the
applicant would do as the City desires.
Commissioner Stewart concurred with Chairman McNiel's concerns.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated he understood the Commission's concerns and he suggested they
ask the applicant for assurance they are willing to comply with conditions.
Chairman McNiel indicated the Design Review Committee and the applicant could not reach
agreement.
Commissioner Macias asked why the item was before the Commission.
Chairman McNiel responded that the applicant requested that the matter be forwarded to the full
Commission. He opened the public headng.
Bill Kimble, 15838 Aurora Crest Drive, Whittier, indicated he is one of the developers and owners.
He stated they had some thinking to do because they had six to seven months of upgrading and new
requirements were added each time they met. He stated they reviewed the conditions and agreed to
accept them.
Commissioner Macias asked that Mr. Kimble review the conditions on a point-by-point basis and
indicate if they are in agreement.
Mr. Kimble agreed to all conditions and said they were proud of their buildings.
Commissioner Macias asked Mr. Kimble if he had ever built in Rancho Cucamonga.
Mr. Kimble responded that he had not but they had received awards in other communities.
Chairman McNiel indicated that Rancho Cucamonga prides itself on being a step above.
Commissioner Stewad said she was still concerned because the items that Mr. Kimble had just
agreed to were the same items that he was asked to agree to at the Design Review Committee
meeting. She stressed that the City is looking for enhancements, not what has already been done.
Mr. Kimble said he was willing to sign a letter of agreement if necessary and that his word was good.
Commissioner Macias asked why he had not agreed to the items at the Design Review stage. He
was concerned that if the Commission approved the project, staff would be pressured because the
Planning Commission would be out of the picture.
Commissioner Mannerino felt that if staff feels it is not successful in getting compliance with the
conditions, the matter could be referred back to the Commission.
Mr. Buller noted that if the applicant fails to meet the conditions, staff would not sign off on building
permits. He said staff felt the project has reached the point where it will work. He suggested the
Commission may wish to add a condition that the project be referred back to the Design Review
Committee if staff feels there is not compliance with the conditions.
Commissioner Mannerino agreed that would be acceptable and noted that the Committee could refer
the matter back to the full Commission if necessary.
Planning Commission Minutes -3- February 9, 2000
Laura Hope, stated she lives just south of the project. She indicated they built their home four years
ago adjacent to a vacant lot. She asked that their current wood fence be replaced with a block wall
now that the adjacent property will be developed because her bedroom windows face the
development.
Chairman McNiel asked if the wood fence in located on her property.
Ms. Hope confirmed that it is. She said she had indicated her concerns at the first meeting. She
noted they are across the street from the development and that the read is now seldom used but will
be turned into a street. She expressed appreciation that the homes will be single story.
Chairman McNiel asked if her house is part of a tract.
Ms. Hope replied that it was custom built.
Commissioner Macias asked why she thought the developer should build a wall on her property.
Ms. Hope replied that there is currently only an access road whicl'~ is used by one other parcel but it
will now be a street with 13 homes taking access from it. She said they are concerned about
headlights and noise.
Commissioner Macias indicated he thought that is something that other residents have to deal with
as well.
Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, noted that the grading plan submitted by the developer shows
removal of the fence as it is in the public dght of way and. it will be at the current fence line.
Commissioner Macias asked if she knew her fence would be rernoved.
Ms. Hope replied that she did not. She said there had been some talk about removing some trees
and widening the access road.
Commissioner Macias asked if it was intended that the developer build a new fence.
Mr. Kimble believed there was a mistake on the engineer's plan. He said they did not intend to
remove the fence because it would not be any advantage to the new development. He said the
fence could be right on the property line.
Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, stated there will be a difference in elevation from her property to
the new sidewalk. He said the current wood fence could not be used as a retaining wall.
Commissioner Mannedno stated the applicant would have to modify the grading plans to reflect the
removal of the fence. He stated that no one who owns a house adjacent to a vacant lot should
expect that the lot will not be developed. He felt that if the grad,lng plan calls for removal of the
fence, the fence should be replaced. He thought the homeowner and developer should work
together to build a block wall and suggested they should share the cost.
Mr. Bullet noted that it is standard policy for the Planning Commission to require block walls on
comer side yards adjacent to public streets. He observed the Commission commonly requires
developers to construct a perimeter wall around a tract and the applicant is responsible for puffing in
the wall along shared property even were there is an existing fence.
Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney noted that if the development will have an additional impact
such as additional noise, lights, etc;. it is permissible for the Commission to impose conditions to
mitigate the impacts.
Planning Commission Minutes -4- February 9, 2000
Commissioner Mannedno asked how many linear feet of wall would be involved.
Mr. Coleman indicated it would be approximately 100 feet. He suggested modifying the standard
condition to require the 6-foot decorative perimeter block wall be continued on the south side of
Liberty Street if the existing wood fence is removed.
John Wang, 8316 Red Oak Street, #101, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he owned some property to
the north of the tract and had been told by the City that he could not develop his property to take
access from Archibald Avenue when he submitted a Preliminary Review in 1988. He noted he lost
some of the property dudng the recession. He asked if the policy has been changed so that the
parcels he now owns could take access from Archibald Avenue. He asked if his parcel will be
permitted access to Archibald Avenue when the existing house is tom down and replaced. He
indicated he would like the answer on record if the City will allow such access. He stated it would be
prohibitively expensive to connect to the sewer in Archibald Avenue and indicated he thought the
applicant's project should be designed with two cul-de-sacs coming off London Avenue, one at the
south end and the other across the north of the property being developed. He noted that would give
them the ability to develop the lots to the north. He said an alternative suggested by the City was to
take access from Banyan Street by purchasing access dghts for a corddor through the Metropolitan
Water District (MWD) dght of way. He reported MWD wants to sell an access corridor of 120 feet by
12 feet wide with a chain link fence along either side of the corridor. He did not think that would be
an attractive entrance to a home. He asked who will pay for the development of Banyan Street as
this developer owns parcels between the proposed development and the MWD right of way. He said
that at the first neighborhood meeting, the applicant had indicated he would process an easement
through the MWD property, but by the second meeting the applicant had deleted plans to develop
the parcel adjacent to Mr. Wang's. He said the applicant indicated at that time that he would give
Mr. Wang an easement along the north of the property currently being developed so that he could
connect utilities to London Avenue, but then backed out by saying that his engineer recommended
the not sign an easement. Mr. Wang said he is also a developer but he considers adjacent
properties. He asked if the City has the right to help him get an easement for access to his properbj.
George Taunton, PKT Properties, LLC, 684 Dundee Court, Brea, stated they have had an on-going
two-way conversation with Mr. Wang. He noted that he had purchased property that Mr. Wang lost
during the recession. He said their first meeting with Mr. Wang took place right after they bought the
property. He confirmed they had brought up the concern about the sewer at the neighborhood
meeting. He stated that it would cost $160,000 to improve the street through the MWD right of way
and it would be economically unfeasible to develop the street in order to develop a 1-acre parcel. He
said he had offered to grant Mr. Wang a utility easement along the south property line of the
remaining two parcels when they file a parcel map for that property if Mr. Wang's engineer would
draw the easement; however, Mr. Wang merely sent him a grant deed to grant the easement. He
said they met with MWD and it would be possible to hook up Mr. Wang's existing house to the sewer
in Archibald Avenue. He noted there is a 30-foot easement across the property granted by the pdor
owner. He said there is a 5 foot drop if they put in a cul-de-sac where Mr. Wang suggested. He said
they would also be concerned because they would have to cover the storm drain in order to place the
street there. He reported they have been working with the Engineering Division on howto design the
subdivision in order to make the project work. He commented it would not make economic sense for
them to underground utilities and to rebuild Archibald Avenue to artedal standards in order to have
two cul-de-sacs. He suggested they would be willing to work on getting the easement from MWD
along with Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang said his engineer prepared an easement but PKT said their engineer recommended they
not sign it.
Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing.
Planning Commission Minutes -5- February 9, 2000
Mr. James indicated that the existing single family house along Archibald Avenue takes access from
Amhibald Avenue. He reported it is the goal of the City to limit access to Archibald Avenue and a
master plan has been developed. He indicated that Mr. Wang owns two parcels which currently
have access to Amhibald Avenue and they could continue to have access to Archibald Avenue;
however, any additional lots resulting from further subdivision should take access from Banyan
Street. Mr. James commented on Mr. Wang's proposal for two cul-de-sacs by saying that the
developer considered that layout but chose instead to drop development plans for their northern
parcel He noted that the developer owns that parcel but it is a separate parcel and the City cannot
force the developer to build it at the same time as the current project. With respect to Mr. Wang's
question as to who will improve Banyan Street, Mr. James said i1: will be tied to the development of
either the applicant's property or Mr. Wang's property. As for Mr. Wang's assertion that it would be
impractical to run a sewer lateral to Archibald Avenue, Mr. James conceded that it looked difficult,
but said he had not run the calculations. He did not feel the City can force the applicant to grant an
easement.
Mr. Ennis stated that it did not seem reasonable that the City should require the developer to give up
some of his property dghts to benefit Mr. Wang. He said the applicant's proposal does not impact
Mr. Wang's property, it is only that the applicant did not select an alternative that would be more
beneficial to an off-site property owner.
Chairman McNiel asked if creation of this tract map would create an unnecessarily undue hardship
on any adjacent property owner.
Mr. James replied that it would not and if the City required the alternate layout of two cul-de-sacs,
that would create an undue hardship because that layout would require removal of an existing house
to the south of this development.
Chairman McNiel asked if approval of the project would result in any landlocked parcels.
Mr. James said it would not.
Mr. Ennis noted that creation of the subdivision would not put Mr. Wang's property in any worse
condition than it now is. He noted the design does not maximize the benefit for Mr. Wang but it also
does not make conditions any worse than what currently exists.
Mr. Buller confirmed that approval of this subdivision would leave limited solutions for developing the
adjacent parcels.
Chairman McNiel said that each time any project is approwed, it begins to limit adjacent
opportunities.
Commissioner Mannerino felt the applicant is entitled to develop the subdivision as they wish. He
stated that if the grading plan requires removal of the wooden fence.=, then that area of grading is the
perimeter of the project and the developer should construct a block wall fence in compliance with the
Commission's policy.
Commissioner Macias felt the wooden fence should be replaced with a block wall consistent with the
balance of the project only if the project impacts the wooden fence. He did not think it should be a
requirement only for aesthetic purposes. He said that if the project does not impact the wooden
fence, the neighboring homeowner has the right to retain the wooden fence or build another fence.
He did not believe this project would leave Mr. Wang any worse off.
Commissioner Stewart agreed with Commissioners Mannerino and Macias.
Planning Commission Minutes -6- February 9, 2000
Chairman McNiel concurred with Commissioner Macias with respect to the wall. He noted it is a
perimeter fence but it is on the opposite side of the street and there would be no fence built if there
were no house there. He said that if the current wooden fence is impacted, it should be replaced
with a block wall consistent with the remainder of the project. He agreed that nothing would change
with respect to Mr. Wang's property. He noted the Design Review Committee recommended denial
of the project and staff had worked with the applicant to get a design the City can accept. He
indicated he expected that development would be above the minimum and anything less would not
be acceptable.
Motion: Moved by Mannedno, seconded by Macias, to issue a Negative Declaration and adopt the
resolutions approving Tentative Tract 15963 and Development Review 99-42 with modification to
require a block wall along the south side of Liberty Street if the existing wood fence is removed and
that compliance with the conditions is to be to the satisfaction of the City Planner orthe project is to

Dear Sir/Madam:
Notice of Public Hearing for Tentative Map15278 (APN: 201-251-049)
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) has received a Notice of
Public Heating (Notice) for Tentative Map15278 (APN: 201-251-049) in the City of Rancho
Cucamonga (City). The applicant, PKT Properties LLC, proposes to subdivide 1.10 acres into
three parcels in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at the
northwest corner of Banyan Street and London Avenue. This letter contains our response as a
potentially affected public agency.
Our review of the Notice indicates that Metropolitan's Foothill Feeder-Rialto Pipeline is in the
area of the proposed project. The enclosed map shows this facility in relation to the proposed
project. It will be necessary for the City to consider this facility in its project planning.
In order to avoid potential conflicts with Metropolitan's right-of-way, we request that any
preliminary engineering design drawings or improvement plans for any activity in the area of
Metropolitan's pipelines and rights-of-way be submitted for our review and written approval.
You may obtain detailed prints of drawings of Metropolitan's pipelines and rights-of-way by
calling Metropolitan's Substructures Information Line at (213) 217-6564. To assist you in
preparing plans that are compatible with Metropolitan~s facilities and easements, we have
enclosed a copy of the "Guidelines for Developments in the Area of Facilities, Fee Properties,
and/or Easements of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California." Please note that
all submitted designs or plans must dearly identify Metropolitan's facilities and fights-of-way.

Metropolitan requests that the City analyze the consistency of the proposed project with the
growth management plan adopted by the Southern California A~,~sociation of Governments
(SCAG). Metropolitan uses SCAG's population, housing and employment projections to
determine future water demand. Development above these forecast provisions may increase
demand on Metropolitan's resources and facilities beyond that miticipated.
Additionally, Metropolitan encourages projects within its service area to include water
conservation measures. Water conservation, reclaimed water use, and groundwater recharge
programs are integral components to regional water supply planning. Metropolitan supports
mitigation measures such as using water efficient fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping, and
reclaimed water to offset any increase in water use associated with the proposed project.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to your planning process and if we can be of'
further assistance, please contact me at (213) 217-6242.

Guidelines for Developments in the
Area of Facilities, Fee Properties, and/or Easements
of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
1. Introduction
a. The following general guidelines should be
followed for the design of proposed facilities and
developments in the area of Metropolitan's facilities, fee .
properties, and/or easements.
b. We require that 3 copies of your tentative and
final record maps, grading, paving, street improvement,
landscape, storm drain, and utility plans be ~ubmitted
for our review and written approval as they pertain to
Metropolitan's facilities, fee properties and/or
easements, prior to the commencement of any construction
work.
2. Plans, Parcel and Tract Maps
The following are Metropolitan's requirements for the
identification of its facilities, fee properties, and/or
easements on your plans, parcel maps and tract maps:
a. Metropolitan's fee properties and/or easements and
its pipelines and other facilities must be fully shown and
identified as Metropolitan's on all applicable plans.
b. ~etropolitan's fee properties and/or easements
must be shown'and identified as Metropolitan's with the
official recording data on all applicable parcel and
tract maps.
c. Metropolitan's fee properties and/or easements
and existing survey monuments must be dimensionally tied
to the parcel or tract boundaries.
d. Metropolitan's records of surveys must be
referenced on the parcel and tract maps.
3. Maintenance of Access Alon9 Metropolitan's Rights_of_Wa¥
a. Proposed cut or fill slopes exceeding 10 percent
are normally not allowed within Metropolitan's fee
properties or easements. This is required to facilitate the
use of construction and maintenance equipment, and provide
access to its aboveground and belowground facilities.
b. We require that 16-foot-wide commercial-type
driveway approaches be constructed on both sides of all
streets crossing Metropolitan's rights-of-way. Openings
are required in any median island. Access ramps, if
necessary, must be at least 16,feet-wide. Grades of ramps
are normally not allowed to exceed 10 percent. If the slope
of an access ramp must exceed 10 percent due to the
topography, the ramp must be paved. We require a
40-foot-long level area on the driveway approach to access
ramps where the ramp meets the street. At Metropolitan's
fee properties, we may require fences and gates.
c. The terms of Metropolitan's permanent easement
deeds normally preclude the building or maintenance of
structures of any nature or kind within its easements, to
ensure safety and avoid interference with operation and
maintenance of Metropolitan's pipelines or'other facilities.
Metropolitan must have vehicular access along the easements
at all times for inspection, patrolling, and for maintenance
of the pipelines and other facilities on a routine basis.
We require a 20-foot-wide clear zone around all above-ground
facilities for this routine access. This clear zone should
slope away from our facility on a grade not to exceed
2 percent.. We must also have access along the easements
with construction equipment. An example of this is shown on
Figure 1.
d. The footings of any proposed buildings adjacent to
Metropolitan's fee properties and/or easements must not
encroach into the fee property or easement or impose
additional loading on Metropolitan's pipelines or other
facilities therein. A typical situation is shown on
Figure 2. Prints of the detail plans of the footings for
any building or structure adjacent to the fee property or
easement must be submitted for our review and written
approval as they pertain to the pipeline or other facilities
therein. Also, roof eaves of buildings adjacent to the
easement or fee property must not overhang into the fee
property or easement area.
- 3 -
el Metropolitan's pipelines and other facilities,
e.g. structures, manholes, equipment, survey monuments, etc.
within its fee properties and/or easements must be protected
from damage by the easement holder on Metropolitan's
property or the property owner where Metropolitan has an
easement, at no expense to Metropolitan. If the facility is
a cathodic protection station it shall be located prior to
any grading or excavation. The exact location, description
and way of protection shall be shown on the.related plans
for the easement area.
4. Easements on Metropolitan's Property
a. We encourage the use of Metropolitan's fee rights-
of-way by governmental agencies for public street and
utility purposes, provided that such use does not interfere
with Metropolitan's use of the property, the entire width of
the property is accepted into the agency's public street
system and fair market value is paid for such use of the
right-of-way.
b. Please contact the Director of Metropolitan's
Right of Way and Land Division, telephone (213) 250-6302,
concerning easements for landscaping, street, storm drain,
sewer, water or other public facilities proposed within
Metropolitan's fee properties. A map and legal description
of the requested easements must be submitted. Also, written
evidence.must be submitted that shows the city or county
will accept the easement for the specific purposes into its
public system. The grant of the easement will be subject to
Metropoli~an's rights to use its land for water pipelines
and related purposes to the same extent as if such grant had
not been made. There will be a charge for the easement.
Please note that, if entry is required on the property prior
to issuance of the easement, an entry permit must be
obtained. There will also be a charge for the entry permit.
5. Landscaping
Metropolitan's landscape guidelines for its fee
properties and/or easements are as follows:
a. A green belt may be allowed within Metropolitan's
fee property or easement.
b. All landscape plans shall show the location and
size of Metropolitan's fee property and/or easement and the
location and size of Metropolitan's pipeline or other
facilities therein.
C. Absolutely no trees will be allowed within 15 feet
of the centerline of Metropolitan's existing or future
pipelines and facilities.
d. Deep-rooted trees are prohibited within
Metropolitan,s fee properties and/or easements. Shallow-
rooted trees are the only trees allowed. The shallow-rooted
trees will not be permitted any closer than 15 feet from the
centerline of the pipeline, and such trees shall not be
taller than 25 feet with a root spread no greater than
20 feet in diameter at maturity. Shrubs, bushes, vines, and
ground cover are permitted, but larger shrubs and bushes
should not be planted directly over our pipeline. Turf is
acceptable. We require submittal of landscape plans for
Metropolitan's prior review and written approval (See
Figure 3). ·
e. The landscape plans must contain provisions for
Metropolitan's vehicular access at all times along its
rights-of-way to its pipelines or facilities therein.
Gates capable of accepting Metropolitan's locks are
required in any fences across its rights-of-way. Also,
any walks or drainage facilities across its access route
must be constructed to AASHTO H-20 loading standards.
f. Rights to landscape any of Metropolitan's fee
properties must be acquired from its Right of Way and
Land Division. Appropriate entry pe~its must be obtained
prior to any entry on its property. ¶?here will be a charge
for any entry permit or easements required.
6. Fencing
Metropolitan requires that perimeter fencing of its fee
properties and facilities be constructed of universal chain'
link, 6 feet in height and topped with 3 strands of barbed
wire angled upward and outward at a 45 degree angle or an
approved equal for a total fence height of 7 feet. Suitable
substitute fencing may be considered by Metropolitan.
(Please see Figure 5 for details).
7. Utilities in Metropolitan's Fee Properties and/or Easement~
or Adjacent to Its Pipeline in Public ~
.~treets
Metropolitan's policy for the alinement of utilities
permitted within its fee properties and/or easements and
street rights-of-way is as follows:
a.' Permanent structures, including catch basins,
manholes, power poles, telephone riser boxes, etc., shall
not be located within its fee properties and/or easements.
b. We request that permanent utility structures
within public streets, in which Metropolitan's facilities
are constructed under the Metropolitan Water District
Act, be placed as far from our pipeline as possible, but
not closer than 5 feet from the outside of our pipeline.
c. The installation of utilities over or under
Metropolitan's pipeline(s) must be in accordance with the
requirements shown on the enclosed prints of Drawings
Nos. C-11632 and C-9547. Whenever possible we request a
minimum of one foot clearance between Metropolitan's pipe
and your facility. Temporary support of Metrgpolitan's
pipe may also be required at undercrossings of its pipe
in an open trench. The temporary support plans must be
reviewed and approved by Metropolitan.
d. Lateral utility crossings of Metropolitan's
pipelines must be as perpendicular to its pipeline
alinement as practical. Prior to any excavation our
pipeline shall be located manually and any excavation
within two feet of our pipeline must be done by hand.
This shall be noted on the appropriate drawings.
e. Utilities constructed longitudinally within
Metropolitan's rights-of-way must be.located outside the
theoretical trench prism for-uncovering its pipeline and
must be located parallel to and as close to its rights-
of-way lines as practical.
f. When piping is jacked or installed in jacked
casing or tunnel under Metropolitan's pipe, there must be
at least two feet of vertical clearance between the
bottom of Metropolitan's pipe and the top of the jacked
pipe, jacked casing or tunnel. We also require that
detail drawings of the shoring for the jacking or
tunneling pits be submitted for our review and approval.
Provisions must be made to grout any voids around the
exterior of the jacked pipe, jacked casing or tunnel. If
the piping is installed in a jacked casing or tunnel the
annular space between the piping and the jacked casing or
tunnel must be filled with grout.
- 6 -
g. Overhead electrical and telephone line
requirements:
1) Conductor clearances are to conform to the
California State Public Utilities Commission, General
Order 95, for Overhead Electrical Line Construction or
at a greater clearance if required by Metropolitan.
Under no circumstances shall clearance be less than
35 feet.
2) A marker must be attached to the power pole
showing the ground clearance and line voltage, to help
prevent damage to your facilities during maintenance or
other work being done in the area.
3) Line clearance over Metropolitan's fee
properties and/or easements shall be shown on the
drawing to indicate the lowest point of the line
under the most adverse conditions including
consideration of sag, wind load, temperature change,
and support type. We require that overhead lines be
located at least 30 feet laterally away from all
above-ground structures on the pipelines.
4) When underground electrical conduits,
120 volts or greater, are installed within
Metropolitan's fee property and/or easement, the
conduits must be incased in a minimum of three inches
of red concrete. Where possible, above ground warning
signs must also be placed at the right-of-way lines
where the conduits enter and exit. the right-of-way.
h. '~he construction of sewerlines in Metropolitan's
fee properties and/or easements must conform to the
California Department of Health Services Criteria for the
Separation of Water Mains and Sanitary Services and the
local City or County Health Code Ordinance as it relates to
installation of sewers in the vicinity of pressure
waterlines. The construction of sewerlines should also
conform to these standards in street rights-of- way.
i. Cross sections shall be provided for all pipeline
crossings showing Me~ropolitan's fee p~operty and/or
easement limits and the location of our pipeline(s). The
exact locations of the crossing pipelines and their
elevations shall be marked on as-built drawings for our
information.
- 7 -
j.' Potholing of Metropolitan's pipeline is required
if the vertical clearance between a utility and
Metropolitan's pipeline is indicated on the plan to be one
foot or less. If the indicated clearance is between one and
two feet, potholing is suggested. Metropolitan will provide
a representative to assists others in locating and
identifying its pipeline. Two-working days notice is
requested.
k. Adequate shoring and bracing is r~quired for the
full depth of the trench when the excavation encroaches
within the zone shown on Figure 4.
1. The location of utilities within Metropolitan's
fee property and/or easement shall be plainly marked to
help prevent damage during maintenance or other work done
in the area. Detectable tape over buried utilities
should be placed a minimum of 12 inches above the utility
and shall conform to the following requirements:
1) Water pipeline: A two-inch blue warning

Avenue, La Verne, California 91750, telephone (714)
593-7474, for the locations of Metropolitan's cathodic
protection stations.
2) If an induced-current cathodic protection
system is to be installed on any pipeline crossing
Metropolitan's pipeline, please contact Mr. Wayne E.
Risner at (714) 593-7474 or (213) 250-5085. He will
review the proposed system and determine if any
conflicts will arise with the existing cathodic
protection systems installed by Metropolitan.
3) Within Metropolitan's rights-of-way,
pipelines and carrier pipes (casings) shall be coated
with an approved protective coating to conform to
Metropolitan's requirements, and shall be maintained in
a neat and orderly condition as directed by Metropolitan.
The application and monitoring of cathodic protection
on the pipeline and casing shall conform to Title 49 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 195.
.4) If a steel carrier pipe (casing) is used:
(a) Cathodic protection shall be provided

n. All trenches shall be excavated to comply with the
CAL/OSHA Construction Safety Orders, Article 6, beginning
with Sections 1539 through 1547. Trench backfill shall be
placed in 8-inch lifts and shall be compacted to 95 percent
relative compaction (ASTM D698) across roadways and through
protective dikes. Trench backfill elsewhere will be
compacted to 90 percent relative compaction (ASTM D698).
- 9 -
o. Control cables connected with the operation of
Metropolitan's system are buried within streets, its fee
properties and/or easements. The locations and elevations
of these cables shall be shown on the drawings. The
drawings shall note that prior to any excavation in the
area, the control cables shall be located and measures
shall be taken by the contractor to protect the cables in
place.
p. Metropolitan is a member of Under~round Service
Alert (USA). The contractor (excavator) shall contact
USA at 1-800-422-4133 (Southern California) at least 48
hours prior to starting any excavation work. The contractor
will be liable for any damage to Metropolitan's facilities
as a result of the construction.
8. Paramount Right
Facilities constructed within Metropolitan's fee
properties and/or easements shall be subject to the
paramount right of Metropolitan to use its fee properties
and/or easements for the purpose for which they were
acquired. If at any time Metropolitan or its assigns
should, in the exercise of their rights, find it necessary
to remove any of the facilities from the fee properties
and/or easements, such removal and replacement shall be at
the expense of the owner of the facility.
9. Modification of Metropolitan's Facilities
When ~ manhole or other of Metropolitan's facilities
must be modified to accommodate your construction or recons-
truction, Metropolitan will modify the facilities with its
forces. This should be noted on the construction plans. The
estimated cost to perform this modification will be given to
you and we will require a deposit for this amount before the
work is performed. Once the deposit is received, we will
schedule the work. Our forces will coordinate the work with
your contractor. Our final billing will be based on actual
cost incurred, and will include materials, construction,
engineering plan review, inspection, and administrative
overhead charges calculated in accordance with Metropolitan's
standard accounting practices. If the cost is less than the
deposit, a refund will be made; however, if the cost exceeds
the deposit, an invoice will be forwarded for payment of the
additional amount.
- 10-
10. Drainage
a. Residential or commercial development typically
increases and concentrates the peak storm water runoff as
well as the total yearly storm runoff from an area, thereby
increasing the requirements for storm drain facilities
downstream of the development. Also, throughout the year
water from landscape irrigation, car washing, and other
outdoor domestic water uses flows into the storm drainage
system resulting in weed abatement, insect infestation,
obstructed access and other problems. Therefore, it is
Metropolitan's usual practice not to approve plans that show
discharge of drainage from developments onto its fee
properties and/or easements.
b. If water must be carried across or discharged onto
Metropolitan's fee properties and/or easements, Metropolitan
will insist that plans for development provide that it be
carried by closed conduit or lined open channel approved in
writing by Metropolitan. Also the drainage facilities must be
maintained by others, e.g., city, county, homeowners association,
etc. If the development proposes changes to existing drainage
features, then the developer shall make provisions to provide
for replacement and these changes'must be approved by Metropoli
in writing.
11. Construction Coordination
During construction, Metropolitan's field representative
will make periodic inspections. We request that a stipulation
be added to the plans or specifications for notification of
Mr. of Metropolitan's Operations Services Branch,
telephone (213) 250- , at least two working .days prior to
any work in the vicinity of our facilities.
].2. Pipeline Loading Restrictions
a. Metropolitan's pipelines and conduits vary in
structural strength, and some are not adequate for
AASHTO H-20 loading. Therefore, specific loads over the
specific sections of pipe or conduit must be reviewed and
approved by Metropolitan. However, Metropolitan's pipelines
are typically adequate for AASHTO H-20 loading provided that
the cover over the pipeline is not less than four feet or
the cover is not substantially increased. If the temporary
cover over the pipeline during construction is between three
and four feet, equipment must restricted to that which
- 11-
imposes loads no greater than AASHTO H-10. If the cover is
between two and three feet, equipment must be restricted to
that of a Caterpillar D-4 tract-type tractor. If the cover
is less than two feet, only hand equipment may be used.
Also, if the contractor plans to use any equipment over
Metropolitan's pipeline which will impose loads greater than
AASHTO H-20, it will be necessary to submit the specifications
of such equipment for our review and approval at least one
week prior to its use. More restrictive requirements may
apply to the loading guideline over the San Diego Pipelines
1 and 2, portions of the Orange County Feeder, and the
Colorado River Aqueduct. Please contact us for loading
restrictions on all of Metropolitan's pipelines and
conduits.
b. The existing cover over the pipeline shall be
maintained unless Metropolitan determines that proposed
changes do not pose a hazard to the integrity of the
pipeline or an impediment to its maintenance.
13. Blasting
a. At least 20 days prior to the start of any
drilling for rock excavation blasting, or any blasting, in
the vicinity of Metropolitan's facilities, a two-part
preliminary conceptual plan shall be submitted to
Metropolitan as follows:
b. Part 1 of the conceptual plan shall include a
complete summary of proposed transportation, handling,
storage, add use of explosions.
c. Part 2 shall include the proposed general concept
for blasting, including controlled blasting techniques and
controls of noise, fly rock, airblast, and ground vibration..
14. CEQA Requirements
a. When Environmental Documents Have Not Been
Prepared
1) Regulations implementing the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) require that
Metropolitan have an opportunity to consult with the
agency or consultants preparing any environmental
documentation. We are required to review and consider
the environmental effects of the project as shown in
the Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) prepared for your project before committing
Metropolitan to approve your request.
- 12-
2) In order to ensure compliance with the
regulations implementing CEQA where Metropolitan is not
the Lead Agency, the following minimum procedures to
ensure compliance with the Act have been established:
a) Metropolitan shall be timely advised of
any determination that a Categorical Exemption
applies to the project. The Lead Agency is to
advise Metropolitan that it and other agencies
participating in the project have complied with
the requirements of CEQA prior to Metropolitan's
participation.
b) Metropolitan is to be consulted during
the preparation of the Negative Declaration or
.EIR.
c) Metropolitan is to review and submit any
necessary comments on the Negative Declaration or
draft EIR.
d) Metropolitan is to be indemnified for
any costs or liability arising out of any
violation of any laws or regulations including but
not limited to the California Environmental
Quality Act and its implementing regulations.
b. When Environmental Documents Have Been Prepared
if environmental documents have been prepared for your
project, please furnish us a copy for our review and files
in a timely manner so that we may have sufficient time to
review and comment. The following steps must also be
accomplished:
1) The Lead Agency is to advise Metropolitan
that it and other agencies participating in the project
have complied with the requirements of CEQA prior to
Metropolitan's participation.
2) You must agree to inde~sify Metropolitan, its
officers, engineers, and agents for any costs or
liability arising out of any violation of any laws or
regulations including but not limited to the California
Environmental Quality Act and its implementing regulations.
15. Metropolitan's Plan-Review Cost
a. An engineering review of your proposed facilities
and developments and the preparation of a letter response
- 13-
giving'Metropolitan's comments, requirements and/or approval
that will require 8 man-hours or less of effort is typically
performed at no cost to the developer, unless a facility
must be modified where Metropolitan has superior rights. If
an engineering review and letter response requires more than
8 man-hours of effort by Metropolitan to determine if the
proposed facility or development is compatible with its
facilities, or if modifications to Metropolitan's manhole(s)
or other facilities will be required, then all of
Metropolitan'$ costs associated with the project must be
paid by the developer, unless the developer has superior
rights.
b. A deposit of funds w~ll be required from the
developer before Metropolitan can begin its detailed
engineering plan review that will exceed 8 hours. The
amount of the required deposit will be determined after a
cursory review of the plans for the proposed development.
c. Metropolitan's final billing will be based on
actual cost incurred, and will include engineering plan
review, inspection, materials, construction, and
administrative overhead charges calculated in accordance
with Metropolitan's standard accounting practices. If the
cost is less than the deposit, a refund will be made;
however, if the cost exceeds the deposit, an invoice will be
forwarded for payment of the additional amount. Additional
deposits may be required if the cost of Metropolitan's
review exceeds the a~ount of the initial deposit.
16. Caution
We advise you that Metropolitan's plan reviews and
responses are based upon information available to
Metropolitan which was prepared by or on behalf of
Metropolitan for general record purposes only. Such
information may not be sufficiently detailed or accurate for
your purposes. No warranty of any kind, either express or
implied, is attached to the information therein conveyed as
to its accuracy, and no inference should be drawn from
Metropolitan's failure to comment on any aspect of your
project. You are therefore cautioned to make such surveys
and other field investigations as you may deem prudent to
assure yourself that any plans for your project are correct.
17. Additional Information
Should you require additional information, please
contact Mr. Jim Hale, telephone (213) 250-.6564.

To Whom It May Concern:
I'd like to introduce you to Chipotle, "the gourmet restaurant where you e~it with your hands."
Briefly, Chipotle. is a quick-gourmet restaurant founded in 1993 by Steve Ells, a classically
trained chef. We serve just two items: fresh, made-to-order burritos and tacos. Ells insists on.
using only the finest, freshest ingredients. Most items are made in-house d~aily. The kitchen at
Chipotle is operated like those usually only found in much higher-priced restaurants.
Chipotle restaurants are open daily from 11:00 am until 10:00 pm, serving,,lunch and dinner. In
addition to burritos and tacos, Chipotle serves a small selection of domestic and imported bottled
beers and margaritas. Liquor sales generally account for about one percent, of total sales.
Each Chipotle restaurant employs from about 20 - 30 people. The: typical ~hift includes about 8
crew members and a manager or supervisor.
The design and look of Chipotle is very distinctive. The kitchen a~ad servifig line are completely
open allowing people to see their burritos and tacos being prepared. Each Chipotle is designed to
fit the available space, so no two are alike. None have drive-through windows.
Additional information is available at our website: www.chipotle.com.
If you have any questions about Chipotle, please call me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Jim Adams

parcel. Now two restaurants are proposed, the Chipotle restaura~nt and a!fast food restaurant to the
east.
Desi.qn Parameters: The site has frontage on Foothill Boulew~rd with existing curb and gutter
improvements in-place. The frontage of the site is also landscaped. The site has been rough
graded and slopes at approximately 3 to 4 percent from north to south. There is an existing
ddveway spine running north/south and east/west on the overall master plan site and the Chipotle
building would lie at the northeast comer of the driveway spine intersection. The Happy Wok
restaurant lies to the east and the Terra Vista Shopping Center to the north across Foothill
Boulevard. There are three current entitlements approved for the overall master planned site
including Kinko's under construction at the northwest comer, Haven Wine and Deli along Foothill
Boulevard (just west of the Chipotle site), and the RC Hotel building tO the south. All of these
buildings include tower features similar to the theme established by the Applebee's and Buddy's
Bistro restaurants. No architectural information is provided for the master planned fast food
drive-thru restaurant, only the Chipotle building. '
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide '~n outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Architecture - Restudy the overall architecture to avoid the large areas of blank stucco
walls on the north, east, and south elevations. Use of wall..mounted trellises is acceptable in
small areas only but should not be relied upon as the only' form of wall articulation. Extend
the copper canopies around the entire building. Extend cornice treatment around all
parapets.
2. Architecture - Restudy the north elevation and the northwest comer of the building to better
relate to the Foothill Boulevard frontage and the entry statement for the overall site. Consider
a tower or other vertical feature to enhance the Foothill frontage.
3. Site Plan - The fast food drive-thru restaurant is planned with the widest;part of the building
facing Foothill Boulevard, which creates three major issues: 1 ) the majodty of the ddve- thru
lane area will be in direct view of travelers by on Foothill Boulevard contrary to the design
policies established by the Planning Commission, 2) creates a space of only 3-4 feet
between the drive-thru lane and the Chipolte restaurant, and 3) forces Chipolte to use the
drive-thru lane as their loading/unloading access point, which is a direct conflict with the fast
food business. Re-orient the building so that the presence of the ddve thru lane is minimized
relative to Foothill Boulevard. It is suggested that the building be rotated 90 degrees so that
the longer part of the drive thru lane is on the east side of the building. This will also help
alleviate the crowded relationship between the east side of the Chipotle building and the
west side of the fast food restaurant as currently shown.
DRC AGENDA
CUP 00-38 - CHIPOTLE GRILL
January 2, 2001
Page 2
4. Site Plan - The parking lot arrangement for Chipolte creates an awkward "dead-end,"
excess pavement, and some parking spaces do not have sufficient room to back-out without
hitting other parked cars or would have to back-up approximately 60 feet before being able
to turn around and move forward.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues"
1. The chili pepper Iogos on the building comers are signs. The total of 9 signs (3 wall signs +
6 Iogos) exceeds maximum number of signs - Sign Ordinance allows one sign per building
face, and allows a maximum of three signs per business. The chili pepper logo could be
combined with "Chipolte Mexican Grill" text to form a single sign on each face.
2. Replace 3-inch metal tube railing and woven wire mesh around patio with bdck wall (similar
to Applebee's) or higher quality design/materials.
3. Wrap the entire building with bdck wainscoting.
4. The bdck covered towers should return over the roof so that they read as actual towers
rather than fancy parapets.
5. All features such as decorative paving, light standards, street furniture, etc., shall match the
details established by Applebee's restaurant and Buddies Bistro.
6. Provide dense landscaping surrounding the northern patio for the Chipotle building to help
buffer the patio area from Foothill Boulevard and mitigate high seasonal winds. Provide
similarly dense landscaping surrounding the western patio area to buffer from the main site
entry to the west.
7. Provide decorative driveway paving at site entry points to match the remainder of the master
planned site.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. All roof and ground-mounted equipment shall be fully screened from public view. This will
likely require the installation of a Iow wall around the transformer box at the northwest comer
of the site (or relocation of the box).
2. All roof drainage features shall be handled inside the building walls. No extedor gutters or
downspouts.
3. Provide a minimum of one tree per 30 linear feet of building wall plus one tree per 30 linear
feet of property line plus one tree per 3 parking spaces.
4. There shall be no exterior mounted roof access ladder.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised in light of the above
comments and brought back for further review.

Desi,qn Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Larry Henderson
Staff Planner: Brent Le Count
The applicant provided a revised design to the Committee. The Committee requested that the
project be further revised in light of staff's comments and the following additional comments and
brought back for further review:
1. It is not necessary to provide copper canopies on walls without windows.
2. The copper roofed tower feature on the northwest comer of the building is appropriate but
should be restudied to better relate to the rest of the building. It should not look like an after
thought or a tacked on feature but instead an integral part of the building.
3. Provide wall insets similar to the Haven Wine and Deli building design approved for the site
to the west for the blank stucco wall areas. Wall mounted trellises can then be provided
inside the insets.
4. The applicant's revised plan showed the fast food restaurant rotated 90 degrees so that the
smaller side faces Foothill Boulevard. The revised layout still had parking circulation
conflicts due to odd angular parking space orientation and the awkward "U"-turn movement
at the southeast comer. The parking should be restudied to avoid these conflicts. The
Committee strongly suggested that the fast food restaurant may be too large to be
accommodated on the site and that reducing the square footage will allow for a better
parking arrangement.
The applicant agreed to make the above changes, including reducing the size of the fast food
restaurant. The Committee agreed to allow the case to be scheduled for the next available Design
Review meeting with the plans and comments provided at the meeting.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentiarly Unless T~an
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an AIquist-Priolo Special Studies
Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red
Hill Fault. The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 2 miles
north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3-1/2 miles
northerly. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes.
Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes, is 11
miles northeast of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2
earthquakes, is 15 miles northeast of the site. [:_ach of these faults can produce
strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake
coincided with an extended period of heavy rains raising the local water table. The
site is otherwise located on stable soils. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code
will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat, so landslides or mudflows are not likely to occur.
f) The site is relatively flat. Grading will be limited to preparation of approximately
I acre for building pad and parking lot development. Grading of the site is
necessary to create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage.
g-h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are excessively
drained, nearly level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans. They
are relatively stable but are subject to liquefa~ction when the water table is
relatively shallow. The Building and Safety Division will require a soils report,
prior to issuance of building permits.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.
4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
of water movements?
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
CUP 00-38 - CHIPOTLE GRILL Page 5
Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) (x)
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) (x)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) (x)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) (x)
groundwater otherwise available for public
water supplies?
Comments:
a) The proposed restaurant project will disturb a surface area of approximately 1
acre that is part of an existing master planned development and has been rough
graded. Runoff will be increased due to the hard scape area proposed. This
construction will complete the on-site drainage system providing connections to
the public storm drain as necessary.
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain.
c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water.
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the
area.
5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
or cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
Comments:
a) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety
Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During
construction, there is the possibility that fugitive dust may be emitted from
grading the site; however, the site has already been rough graded and will
require little precise grading. Dust emissions could be sufficient to warrant the
use of water or other dust palliatives at this site and standard construction and
grading practices, including watering the site, will keep dust emissions within
less than significant levels.

b) The proposed project does not generate pollutants nor will it place sensitive
receptors in proximity to pollutants.
c) The project is of a small scale and will not alter air movement, moisture, or
temperature.
d) There may be various food odors generated by the restaurant activity but these
are not expected to be considered objectionable to the average person.
6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the
proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
c) Inadequate emergency access or access to ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
nearby uses?
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-site? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
bicyclists?
f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts,
bicycle racks)?
g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
Comments:
a) The proposed restaurants may incrementally increase the traffic in the
immediate vicinity because the site is currently vacant. The surrounding streets,
including Foothill Boulevard, have been improved to their ultimate width in
accordance with Caltrans and City standards. The increase is consistent with
that planned for the site and anticipated by the land use designation. The
impact is not considered significant.
b-c) The proposed restaurants will not create hazards or result in inadequate
emergency access to the site.
d) The development of restaurants includes the necessary on-site parking to
compliment the use as determined by the Development Code standards for
restaurants and fast food restaurants.
e-f) The proposed restaurants will not impact cyclists or pedestrians nor create
transportation-related hazards. The frontage of the site is fully improved with
curbs, gutters, sidewalk, and the appropriate turn lanes.

g) Located 5 miles north of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight
path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.
7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
their habitats (including, but not limited to:
plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) ( ) ( (x)

c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( (x)
eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) ( ) ( (x)
vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( (x)
Comments:
a) The site was identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be potential
habitat for the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly (DSF). A habitat assessment was
prepared with the R.C. Hotel master plan project. Results of the survey (Tierra
Madre consultants, Inc. - December 28, 1998) indicated that the site did not
contain adequate DSF habitat since there was a lack of actual Delhi series soil
present, the site was disturbed through rough grading practices, and there were
not extensive areas of exposed sand. The site has since been re-graded.
There are no other unique, rare, or endangered animal species on or near the
project site.
b-e) The site has been rough graded and is devoid of any natural vegetation and
contains no wetlands. The site is surrounded by development and does not
function as a wildlife corridor.
8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the
proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
plans?
b) Use non-renewable resoumes in a wasteful and ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
inefficient manner?
c) Result in the loss of availability of a known ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
mineral resource that would be of future value
to the region and the residents of the State?

Comments:
a-c) The restaurants are relatively small and will no! result in substantial demand for
energy nor will they result in wasteful use of non-renewable resoumes. The
project site is not located in a Classified or Designated Mineral Resource area
by the State Mining and Geology Board as identified by the San Bernardino
County General Plan.
9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
hazardous substances (including, but not
limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or
radiation)?
b) Possible interference with an emergency. ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)

c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
health hazard?
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) () ( ) (x)
potential health hazards?
e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
brush, grass, or trees?
Comments:
a-e) There is no evidence of commercial or industrial uses other than prior vineyard
cultivation. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes, or
discolored soils were observed on site. There is no indication of underground
storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. The parking layout will permit
access to the buildings by fire safety equipment. The site is devoid of
vegetation.
10. NOISE. Willtheproposalresultin:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
Comments:
a) The project will nominally increase noise levels as the site is currently vacant.
However, any increase will not be in excess of the existing ambient noise levels
generated by Foothill Boulevard traffic.
b) The Chipotle Grill is proposed to have outdoor dining patios near the Foothill
Boulevard frontage. These will be surrounded by Iow masonry walls and substantial
landscaping to buffer traffic noise. The noise level is not expected to be in excess of
that of other outdoor dining patios along Foothill Boulevard such as at the Rubio's

Baja Grill on the north side of Foothill Boulevard across from the site. The impact is
not considered significant.
11. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:
a) Fire protection? ( ) ( ) (x)
b) Police protection? ( ) ( ) (x)
c) Schools? ( ) ( ) (x)
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including ( ) ( ) (x)
mads?
e) Other governmental services? ( ) ( ) (x)
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The site, located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, is
served by a fire station located near Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue,
approximately 2 miles from the project site. Standard conditions of approval
from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project.
Police Protection - The proposed restaurants may incrementally increase the
need for routine police protection services, which is consistent with the City of
Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and Development Impact Fee Schedules
adopted by the City Council.
Schools - The proposed Chipotle Grill restaurant may incrementally increase the
need for schools, due to the increase of 20 to 30 employees to the facility.
Development impact fees have been established by the school district for
commercial development, which will be payable, prior to building permits being
issued.
Parks - The proposed Chipotle Grill restaurant may incrementally increase the
need for park and recreation services, because 20 to 30 persons will be
employed by the facility, a small number of these employees may be new to the
community.
Public facilities - The proposed Chipotle Grill restaurant may incrementally
increase traffic on adjacent streets, consistent with the expectations of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and the Industrial Area Specific Plan. The
appropriate Development Impact Fees have been adopted by the City Council to
address incremental impacts to the citywide circulation system.

12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the
proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies
or substantial alterations to the following utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
b) Communication systems? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)

f) Solid waste disposal? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
g) Local or regional water supplies? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
Comments:
a-g) The proposed restaurants will include the construction of 5,308 square feet of
building area. Existing utility systems are available to the site. The proposed
restaurants will not require major modifications or alterations to the existing
utility systems.
13. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal:
a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
effect?
c) Create light or glare? ( ) ( ) (x) ( )
Comments:
a-b) The project has been designed in accordance with the City of Rancho
Cucamonga commemial development design policies and the Drive Thru design
policies.
c) The project will increase the amount of light in the area as the site is currently
vacant. It is standard practice to require a photometric diagram during building
permit plan check to ascertain adequate lighting and that lighting will not cast
glare on adjacent property or rights of way.
14. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the proposah
a) Disturb paleontological resources? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
b) Disturb amhaeological resoumes? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)

d) Have the potential to cause a physical change ( ) ( ( ) (x)
that would affect unique ethnic cultural values?
e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within ( ) ( ( ) (x)
the potential impact area?
Comments:
a-e) No cultural resources have been observed on-site or during recent rough
grading of the site. As the proposed development will impact a surface area of
approximately 1 acre, and the adjacent and surrounding areas have been
disturbed, the likelihood of unearthing cultural resources is minimal and impacts
are considered less than significant.
15. RECREATION. Would the proposah
a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
regional parks or other recreational facilities?
b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
Comments:
a) The proposed restaurants may incrementally increase the need for park and
recreation services because employment will be increased by 20 to 30 persons.
However, the impact is not considered significant.
b) The proposed restaurants will have no impact to existing recreational
opportunities. The surrounding properties have been developed with either
retail, restaurant, or office park development.
16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?

b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts ( ) ( ) ( ) (x)
that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerabJe when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ( ) ( ) (x)
environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The proposed restaurants will include pa~rking lot improvements and
landscaping. The frontage of the site is already landscaped and the site has
been rough graded. No endangered or sensitive species or habitats will be
effected by this project.
b) The proposed restaurants will impact approximately 1-acre and grading will be
performed in order to finish the pad for the building foundations, and
development of parking areas. There are no sensitive receptors near the site
that would be significantly affected by noise and fugitive dust associated with
construction of the facility.
c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable. The site is within an industrial park-zoned area that permits this
type of commercial restaurant development. The Initial Study did not identify
any impacts that could not be mitigated through the City's Standard Conditions
of Approval.
d) The site and overall project are of a relatively small scale. The proposed
restaurants would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly. The site is located in an industrial park zoned area
along Foothill Boulevard and the proposed use is consistent with this land use
designation.

Comments:
a-d) The proposed RV and storage project is a permitted use ~n Subarea 8 of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan area and is compatible with existing surrounding land
uses, in particular the Stadium Self-Storage to the west. The site is currently vacant
of structures.

2. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ( ) ( ) ( ) ('~')
population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ( ) ( ) ( )
directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an
undeveloped area or extension of major
infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ( ) ( ) ( ) ('/)
housing?
Comments:
a-b) Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area. Operation of the storage facility will require one full-time

3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS. Would the proposal result in
or expose people to potential impacts involving:
a) Fault rupture? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
b) Seismic ground shaking? ( ) ( ) (v:) ( )
c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ( ) ( ) (v') ( )
d) Seiche hazards? ( ) ( ) (v')
e) Landslides or mudflows? ( ('/)
f) Erosion, changes in topography, or unstable soil ( ("')
conditions from excavation, grading, or fill?
g) Subsidence of the land? ( ('/)
h) Expansive soils? ( (v')
i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( (v')
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in
the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red
Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 2.5 miles north and west of the
site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 8 miles northwest. These
faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Aisc, the
San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 12 miles northeast
of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 13 miles
northeast of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking.
Liquefaction could occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended
period of heavy rains raising the local water table. The site is otherwise located on
stable soils. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts
are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat so landsliding or mudfiows are not likely to occur.
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 00-17 Rancho Cucamonga RV and Boat Storage Page 5
f) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal; approximately 25,000 cubic
yards. Grading will even out the site and create the necessary slope gradient to
allow proper site drainage.
g/h) Soil type on-site and in the vicinity is Tujunga-Delhi. These soils are excessively
drained, nearly level to moderately sloping soils formed on alluvial fans. They are
relatively stable but are subject to liquefaction when the water table is relatively
shallow. New development on such soils are required to meet current earthquake
standards as required by the Uniform Building Code. ^ soils report will be required
by the Building and Safety Division prior to issuance of building permits. The impact
is not considered significant.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, 0 (¢') ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) (,")
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) (v')
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( ) (v')
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ) ( )
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) (,/)
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) (,/)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) (v')
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) (v')
groundwater otherwise available for public water
supplies?

DR 00-17 Rancho Cucamonga RV and Boat Storage Page 6
Comments:
a) The project is expected to result in changes in absorption rates and drainage
pattern. A drainage study/plan showing how stormwater runoff will be handled both
during construction and operation, shall be provided to the City Engineer for review
and approval prior to issuance of a grading permit.
b) The site is not located within a flood zone. Flood protection is provided by the
adjoining, concrete lined, Day Creek Channel.
c-e) The project site is not located rear a body of water. The Day Creek Channel, which
runs adjacent to the east boundary of the site, contains water intermittently
generally during heavy storms. The applicant will provide a drainage study showing
how stormwater runoff will be conveyed, prior to issuance of a grading permit.
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area.
Spills of hazardous materials such as motor oil, gasoline and other motor vehicle
relate substances will be addressed in a business plan. The business plan must be
reviewed and approved by the City Fire Department prior to issuance of building
permits.

5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to ( ) (v') ( ) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ( ) (v') ( ) ( )
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
Comments:
a) Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-
Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During grading, fugitive dust
(PM~0) will be generated. However, the project, at four developed acres, is below
the AQMD Threshold of Potential Significance for Air Quality Impacts. Any impact to
air quality from generation of fugitive dust can be mitigated by the following
measures:
1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent
(approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~0 emissions, in
accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
2. Haven Avenue and Sixth Street shall be swept according to a schedule
established by the City to reduce PM~0 emissions associated with vehicle
tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of
Initial Study for City,of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 00-17 Rancho Cucamonga RV and Boat Storage Page 7
construction.
3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed
25 mph to minimize PM~0 emissions from thE: site during such episodes.
4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours
or more to reduce PM~0 emissions.
b) There are no sensitive receptors within ¼ mile of the project site. During
construction exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, and
fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling over exposed surfaces
may cause NOx and PM~0 levels to exceed daily significant thresholds. The following
mitigation measures will ensure impacts will be at less than significant levels.
5. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used
on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The
construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans
include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel
powered equipment where feasible.
7. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in
use.
c-d) The storage facility on a 3.7 acre site will not generate emissions that could cause
climatic changes or objectionable odors.

g) Rail or air traffic impacts? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
Comments:
a) Vehicle trips to storage facilities are generally off-peak hours and only occasional.
There is one employee on-site. The increase in vehicle trips to the area will be
negligible.
b/c) The site is a rectangular parcel with one entry onto Arrow Route. There is an entry
set back designed so that visitors to the site will not be backed up in the street.
There is an emergency access gate with a Knox device proposed. Therefore, three
are no impacts.
e-f) ^ Regional Multi-Purpose Trail runs adjacent within the Day Creek Flood Channel
right-of-way. The trail provides trail user access to community facilities such as
parks, schools and shopping centers. The Multi-Purpose trail does not cross at any
point within the project area and therefore is not impacted.
g) Located four miles from Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and
will not be dangerous to users or aircraft.

vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) ('")
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 00-17 Rancho Cucamonga RV and Boat Storage Page 9
Comments:
a) A biological survey of the site was conducted on November 20, 1998, and the
Natural Diversity Data Base consulted to identify potential sensitive species and
habitats in the area. The site is currently a nursery and consists of cultivated
container plants occupying cleared ground covered with gravel. No natural habitat
exists on the site, and the property was reviewed and cleared for Delhi sands
flower-loving fly habitat. No sensitive species were detected on-site and it is unlikely
any will move on to the site due to the lack of natural habitat.
b-c) There are currently mature eucalyptus trees lining the east boundary of the site and
partially along the northern boundary of the site. Great care has been used to build
around and preserve the trees. Any proposed removal of mature trees will be done
along Arrow Highway to conform to the submitted Landscape plan.
d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site.
e) The site, along with other sites in the vicinity, is undeveloped. However, intermittent
industrial development in the area has eliminated any wildlife corridors that may
have occurred in the past.

inefficient manner?
c) Result in the loss of availability of a known ( ) ( ) ( ) .(,/)
mineral resource that would be of future value to
the region and the residents of the State?
Comments:
a-b) The project will be required to conform to applicable City standards for energy
conservation.
c) The project site is located on the Day Creek alluvial fan, an area classified as a
Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ-2). An MRZ-2 zone contains deposits of known value
and marketability. However, the State Geologist has determined that the area is not
a Designated Area of available resources due to urbanization.

9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) ("') ( )
hazardous substances (including, but not limited
to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)?
b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')

d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) ( ) (v') ( )
potential health hazards?
e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
brush, grass, or trees?
Coroments:
a/c/d) According to the Limited Environmental Site Assessment prepared for the site, on
August 28, 1998, there was no evidence of commercial or industrial uses other
than nursery activities. No evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous
wastes or discolored soils were observed. There was no indication of underground
storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. Storage of approximately 100
utility poles was noted along the north end of the parcel.
The use of chemical weed control was evident. However, storage of chemical
fertilizers, pesticides/herbicides was not observed. A soil sample was taken during
the site visit and displayed only trace amounts of arsenic. The Environmental
Assessment concluded that the detected amount of arsenic (2.87 mg/kg) was
significantly lower than the hazardous waste criteria for this element (500 rog/kg).
b) Traffic associated with self-storage will be negligible and will not interfere with
emergency response/evacuation plans. Fencing/gating the site will limit access to
the site in the event of an emergency situation. However, the project will include a
knox box for emergency use.
e) Brush and grasses will be eliminated from the site during grading. The site will be
landscaped with ornamental vegetation shown in the landscape plan.

c) Schools? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,")
e) Other governmental services? ( ) ( ) ( ) (v')
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The site, located on Arrow Route in Rancho Cucamonga, is served
by a fire station located on the southwest cerner of Jersey and Milliken,
approximately 1.5 miles from the project site. Standard conditions of approval from
the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project.
.Police Protection - One employee will be onsite during business hours. Thorny
vines will be used to discourage possible graffiti. Eight-foot walls and an entry gate,
to be locked during non-operating hours, will be used at the facility to discourage
entry. Therefore, the project will not require additional police protection.
Schools - The proposed construction activities will not generate a substantial
number of new job opportunities or induce people to move to the project area.
Therefore, construction activities will not adversely impact local schools. The
storage facility will have only one employee.
Parks - Proposed construction activities will not generate a substantial number of
new job opportunities or induce people to move to the project area. Therefore,
construction of a RV and boat storage facility will not adversely impact local parks or
recreational opportunities.

Comments:
a/b) The site is visible from the 1-15 which runs parallel and east of the Day Creek
Channel. This freeway is elevated approximately 15-20 feet above the project site.
Project design includes preservation of the eucalyptus trees along the eastern
border of the site as a buffer for drivers on the 1-15. Additionally, the site will be
screened from view from Arrow Route by the use of landscaping. A total of 12
percent landscape coverage of the net lot area is proposed and 30 percent of the
required trees used in the parking lot are 24 inch box as required in the City of
Rancho Cucamonga Industrial Area Specific Plan (11-33.6.)

Comments:
a-e) As part of the Environmental Assessment a records search was conducted by the
San Bernardino County Information Center of the California Historical Resources
Inventory System. No records of archaeological or historical resources occurring
on-site were found. On November 6, 1998, the day of the site visit, no
archaeological or historical resources were observed. Environmental Affairs (the EA
consultant) concluded that cultural resources would not impinge upon the proposed
licensing of the property.

Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Unless Than
16.MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( )
potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential (v~) ( ) ( )
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) (v~)
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ) (-/)
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) A biological survey of the site was conducted on November 20, 1998, and the
Natural Diversity Data Base consulted to identify potential sensitive species and
habitats in the area. The site is currently a nursery and consists of cultivated
container plants occupying cleared ground covered with gravel. No natural habitat
exists on the site, and the property was reviewed and cleared for Delhi sands
flower-loving fly habitat. No sensitive species were detected on-site and it is unlikely
any will move on to the site due to the lack of natural habitat.
b) Grading the site could generate emissions of criteria pollutants (PM~0 and Nox)
above SCAQMD thresholds. The contractor will be required to minimize emissions
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 00-17 Rancho Cucamonga RV and Boat Storage Page 15
through water applications per the City's standard conditions of approval. Additional
mitigation measures presented in Section 5 of this Initial Study will reduce impacts
to less than significant.
c) The project does not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable. The site is within a General Industrial Area and is conditionally
permitted for RV and boat storage. The initial Study did not identify any impacts
(other than short-term construction impacts) that could not be mitigated through the
City's standard conditions of approval.
d) RV and Boat storage on a small, 3.7-acre site would not cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The site is located in an
industrial area within the SCE utility corridor so the site are limited to such uses as
plant nurseries and storage yards, thus minimizin!~ exposure to potential harmful
effects associated with high voltage utility lines.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA
process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative
Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to

Specific Plan, located in the Southern California Edison power line easement adjacent and west of
the Day Creek Channel - APN: 229-021-47.
Desiqn Parameters: The vacant site is located in the Southern California Edison easement adjacent
to the Day Creek Channel north of Arrow Route. It is currently used as a container plant nursery.
The site slopes from north to south at approximately 2 percent. No structures are on the site and
along the east property line is a Eucalyptus windrow. The site is south and adjacent to the future
Jack Benny Drive. To the immediate west of the site is Stadium Self-Storage located on Arrow
Route. Immediately south of the site is Arrow Route. Across Arrow Route is the Watson 1-15
Business Center. Bordering the east side of the property is Day Creek Channel and the 1-15
Freeway.
The project will include approximately 200 on-site spaces of enclosed, covered and open storage.
The proposed buildings include a 1,034 square foot office building and three recreational vehicle
and boat storage buildings totaling 46,122 square feet, and approximately 29,964 square feet will be
provided for out door recreational vehicle and boat storage. (No storage will be permitted or is
designed under the 81 -foot wide existing electrical easement)
The architectural style of the project is a Spanish style with tower accent elements and recesses to
create variety to the building fa(;ade. These tower element are also on the north side of the side
buildings that will front the future Jack Benny Drive. The buildings incorporate two different building
materials such as: stucco finish, and split-face block. The buildings (as seen from the existing ands
future public right-of-ways) are well articulated with vertical and horizontal changes and recesses to
the building planes.
