b. The project site is made up of four parcels of land. Parcel three
(consisting of 35.1 acres) of SUBTPM19720 proposes to include the expansion of the
existing temple facility. The project applicant is proposing to develop eight buildings
which would result in a total building area of 93,003 square feet as well as associated
project improvements, including, but not limited to driveways and private access
roadways, and utility infrastructure connection and expansion along Dawnridge Drive,
Ambleside Place, and DeCliff Drive. Improvements have been conditioned to be

d. The property is currently improved with an existing structure built in 1990 at
a time when the subject property was under the jurisdiction of unincorporated San
Bernardino County which totals approximately 6,600 square feet and which the applicant is
currently using for office hours, group worship, and prayer services throughout the week;
and

e. The subject property was annexed from the County of San Bernardino into
the City of Rancho Cucamonga in November 2020 and assigned a zoning designation within
the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan (EHNCP); and
f. The subject tentative map is related to Design Review DRC2021-00187 for
the expansion of the existing temple facility as the project applicant is proposing to
develop eight buildings which would result in a total building area of 93,003 square feet
as well as associated project improvements, Conditional Use Permit DRC2021-00188
which permits an assembly use for the temple, and a Tree Removal Permit DRC2021-
00189 related to the proposed removal of 46 trees and the proposed replacement of 52
trees; and
g. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM 19720 is for the subdivision of approximately
77.39-acres of land into four parcels. Parcel three is 35.1 acres and proposes to include
the expansion of the existing temple facility. Parcel three will included the develop of
eight buildings within a campus environment and setting. The remaining parcels will
remain undeveloped.
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 tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development
Code, and any applicable specific plans. The proposed parcel map will subdivide the project
site into four parcels. Parcel three, as previously noted, will include the development of
eight buildings as well as associated project improvements, and is consistent with the
General Plan land use designations and the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation
Plan (EHNCP) zoning designation, which allow for the expansion and development of the
proposed temple worship facility; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map will be consistent
with the General Plan, Development Code, and applicable Specific Plan. Additionally, the
proposed expansion and development of the project site complies with all of the related
development standards including building setbacks, lot coverage, height, parking, and
design; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The
project site is well suited for the proposed expansion and development as it is located in a
Specific Plan and is bordered by sites similarly zoned for hillside developments and open
space; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2025-005
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19720
February 26, 2025

d. The design of the tentative parcel map is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The
General Plan Update (GPU) Environmental Impact Review (EIR) considered implementation
of Specific Plans, such as the EHNCP. The EHNCP implements the GPU for the portion of
the Planning Area where the project site is located. Environmental review and analysis
associated with the streamlined Consistency Analysis and Checklist pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has demonstrated that the project would not
have a significant impact on the environment; and
e. The tentative tract map is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The subdivision and expansion of the project site is not expected to cause serious public
health issues, as the proposed tentative parcel map is for the subdivision of the site into
four parcels with only parcel three designated for the development of an assembly
use/temple worship project. As noted, a streamlined Consistency Analysis and Checklist
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has demonstrated that the
project would not have a significant impact on the environment; and
f. The design of the tentative tract map will not conflict with any easement
acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property
within the proposed parcels. The subject project does not contain any easements that
would limit access to or use of the project site.
4. 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. 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 35.1-
acre property (Parcel 3) is designated by the City's General Plan land use designation and
the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan (EHNCP) zoning designation, which
allows for the expansion and development of the proposed temple worship facility.
Therefore, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required for the proposed project. To
demonstrate that no subsequent EIR or environmental review is required, a CEQA
Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum dated January 202, was prepared by an
environmental consultant hired by the City (EPD Solutions, 2024) (Exhibit D - CEQA
Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum). 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, upon the project's compliance with all conditions of
approval. The project will not have any 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. The proposed project involves the involves the subdivision of 77.39
acres of land into four parcels, with parcel three proposed for the expansion and
development of the existing temple worship facility. Staff finds that there is no
substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
