Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -referenced meeting on October 11, 2023, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to an undeveloped project site located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda and Highland Avenues; and b. The project site is a vacant parcel with an area of approximately 9.14 acres The site is approximately 663 feet along the south property line, 958 feet along the north property line, 663 feet along the west property line, and 452 feet along the east property line; and C. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to the above -noted parcel) are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Land Suburban Neighborhood Low (L) Residential Very Low North 210 Freeway - - PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 23-20 DR DRC2022-00348 — MANNING HOMES October 11, 2023 Page 2 South Cucamonga Valley Suburban Neighborhood Flood Control/Utility Water District Very Low Corridor East Single -Family Suburban Neighborhood Very Low (VL) Residential Residences Ve Low West Single -Family Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential Residences Low d. Approval is for the design review and site layout of 22 single-family residences; and The project complies with each of the development standards for the Low (L) Conventional Zone as shown in the following table: Required Proposed Compliant?

This application is in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20566, for the subdivision of 9.14 acres of land into 22 numbered lots and 2 lettered lots, Minor Exception DRC2022-00349, for increased wall heights due to onsite grades, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2022-00350, for the removal of onsite trees. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan land use designation is Suburban Neighborhood Very Low, which permits the development of single-family residences with a maximum density of up to 6 units per acre. The project is for the development of single-family residences with a density of 2.4 units per acre; and b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The project site is within the Low (L) Residential District The project complies with all the requirements of the Development Code except for wall height. The applicant has submitted a Minor Exception to permit walls up to 8 feet in height due to onsite grades; and c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The project complies with each of the requirements of the Development Code except for wall height for which the applicant has submitted a Minor Exception; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 23-20 DR DRC2022-00348 — MANNING HOMES October 11, 2023 Page 3 d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment based upon the findings as follows: a. The City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a comprehensive update to the City's General Plan (GP) and certified a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) on December 15, 2021. According to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, a Program EIR may be prepared on a series of actions that can be characterized as one large project. Use of a Program EIR gives the Lead Agency an opportunity to consider broad policy alternatives and program -wide mitigation measures, as well as greater flexibility to address project -specific and cumulative environmental impacts on a comprehensive scale. b. Pursuant to Section 15183(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines, "if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards... then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact." The 9.14-acre property is designated by the City's General Plan for "Suburban Neighborhood Very Low" land uses. The proposed Project is consistent with the site's GP land use designation of "Low Residential" except for a request for a Minor Exception for wall height and would be consistent with all other applicable GP policies. Therefore, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required for the proposed project. c. To demonstrate that no subsequent EIR or environmental review is required, a CEQA Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum dated August 2023, was prepared by an environmental consultant hired by the City (Ascent, Inc.). Staff evaluated this memorandum and concluded that the project is within the scope of the EIR adopted and certified as part of the City's GP on December 15, 2021. The project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the GP EIR, nor have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 11TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2023.
