c. The project includes the subdivision of 6.7 -acres of land located into 13 numbered
lots and 1 lettered lot for the purpose of development of single-family residential development
and preservation of an existing historic residence. The application consists of five entitlements,
including a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the existing parcel into 13 numbered lots for
residential development and one lettered lot for water quality management, a Major Design
Review for site and architectural review of the lots and proposed residences, a Variance to
address various development standards that are unable to be met due to existing conditions
related to the location of the historic residence that will be preserved, a Minor Exception for
additional wall height at three locations on the project site due to existing grade differences
between the site and adjacent properties as well as internally within the development due to
grading required to preserve the existing historic residence, and a Tree Removal Permit to
request removal of 12 heritage trees that are either in poor health or cause conflict with the site
layout.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20756,
pursuant to the Subdivisions Code Section 16.16.100 in support of the recommendation:
a. The proposed subdivision, together with its provisions for its design and
improvements, is consistent with the General Plan. The proposal is to subdivide a property with an
area of approximately 6.7 acres of land into 13 numbered lots and 1 lettered lot for the
development of 12 single-family residences, preservation of one existing historic single-family
residence, and a lot for water quality management. The underlying General Plan designation is
Semi -Rural Neighborhood, which is intended to maintain and promote single-family housing in
neighborhoods that strengthen the semi -rural character of existing neighborhoods. The designation is
intended for the development of single-family residences with a maximum density range of two
dwelling units per acre. The proposed project has a density of two dwelling units per acre, which is
compliant with the existing General Plan land use designation allowable density.
b. The project site is physically suitable for the proposed subdivision at the
proposed density. The proposed Tentative Tract Map will subdivide an existing residential lot into
13 numbered and 1 numbered lot for the development of 12 single- family, detached residences,
preservation of one existing historic single-family residence and a lot for water quality
management purposes. The project site permits a maximum density of two dwelling units per
acre and the project proposes a density of two dwelling units per acre, making the site physically
suitable for the proposed subdivision at the proposed density.
c. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental

damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. The project site was
previously developed with a single-family residence and the site is surrounded by other urban
development in the form of single-family residences. The City's environmental consultant
prepared a section 15183 Compliance Memorandum and further determined that the project
would not generate any significant environmental effects that were not already considered in the
General Plan's certified Environmental Impact Report.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health
problems. Per the Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum prepared for the project, effects
related to health outcomes were found to be not significant and standard mitigation measures
are applied to ensure compliance.
e. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements related to the project
will not conflict with any easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
the property within the proposed subdivision. The subject subdivision does not conflict with
existing public rights of way or any existing easements on or surrounding the site. Two public
roads provide public access to the site as well. A public equestrian trail easement along Banyan
Street will also provide public access along the frontage of the development.
4. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings for Major Design Review DRC2024-
00416, pursuant to the Development Code Section 17.20.040 in support of the
recommendation:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan. The General Plan land use designation is Semi -Rural Neighborhood, which allows
for and is intended for the development of single-family residences with a maximum density of
two dwelling units per acre. The project is for the development of 12 single-family residences and
preservation of an existing historic single-family residence with an overall density of two units
per acre, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation.
b. The proposed project is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purpose of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is located within the
Very Low (VL) Residential zone and Equestrian Overlay, which permits the development of single-
family residences and requires development of equestrian trails in accordance with the City's
adopted trail map, respectively. The project proposes the development of single-family residences
and proposes a compliant public equestrian trail easement as well as private equestrian trail
easements, consistent with the objectives of the zone in which the site is located.
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
for the site, including, but not limited to density, building height, front yard setbacks, side yard
setbacks, and design. The applicant has requested a total of eight deviations from the
development standards, including lot area, net average lot coverage, lot width, lot depth, street
side yard setbacks, rear yard setbacks, lot coverage, and cut and fill through the associated
Variance request. The Development Code permits the issuance of a Variance, subject to
specific findings being made, allowing the site to be in compliance with the applicable provisions
of the Development Code upon approval of the Variance.

d. The proposed project, together with any applicable conditions, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The proposed project is consistent with the existing developments
in the area and has been determined to not generate significant environmental impacts on the
site or to surrounding properties, with any significant and unavoidable impacts being subject to
standard mitigation measures in order to ensure impacts are mitigated to the greatest extent
feasible.
5. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings for Variance DRC2025-00093, pursuant
to the Development Code Section 17.20.030 in support of the recommendation:
a. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of this code. The proposed project would be unable to be developed at the allowable
density that the zoning and General Plan land use designation would permit if strict or literal
interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations, including lot area, net average lot
area, lot width, lot depth, rear yard setbacks, lot coverage, street side yard setbacks, and cut
and fill, were applied as an existing single-family residence is located on the site and has been
determined to be of historic significance on a local and state level. The historic residence
creates hardship on the site as the existing location of the structure limits the available options
for a site design and a through street layout that will still allow for the maximum density to be
developed.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zone. The presence of a historic residence on the project site is
not typical of other properties in the same zone and preservation of the structure is supported
by goals outlined in the General Plan as well as the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance as
the intended method of historic preservation when feasible.
c. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same
zone. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would not allow
for the applicant to develop the site at the same density that owners of other properties in the
same zone are able to achieve as the constraints that the location of the existing historic
residence create affect site development to a significant extent.
d. The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Other properties
within the same zone generally do not have to develop a site to accommodate preservation of a
historic residence and the granting of the variance requests do not constitute a special privilege
as the site is unable to be developed to the maximum allowable density otherwise. The site
contains an extraordinary circumstance with the historic residence being located onsite and the
variance requests will allow for the applicant to develop the site with the intended density of the
zone as relief will be provided from the constraints.
e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project

is developed with a compatible density to that of the surrounding properties and neighborhoods
and has been determined, through a Section 15183 Compliance Memorandum, to not have
significant impacts to the environment or is able to mitigate significant and unavoidable impacts
to the greatest extent feasible.
6. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings for Minor Exception DRC2025-00096,
pursuant to the Development Code Section 17.16.110 in support of the:
a. The proposed development is in accord with the General Plan or any applicable
specific plan or development agreement. The General Plan does not specify a maximum wall
height for the purpose of providing privacy for developments with grade differences with
adjacent properties or the street. The proposed increase in wall height by no more than two feet
is necessary to construct the single-family development in compliance with the proposed plans
such that the development is consistently enclosed from adjacent properties and the public
street, allowing the neighborhood and individual lots privacy.
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses
in the surrounding area. The project site is adjacent to other single-family residences, which are
permitted to utilize a Minor Exception for wall height should it be necessary to accommodate
unique site conditions or allow for creative design solutions. Given the grade differences between
many properties in the area due to the sloped topography found in the northern areas of the City, a
Minor Exception for increased wall height would be compatible with other properties in the larger
neighborhood as it has been previously issued for other properties in the general are and may be
necessary for other properties in the future for the purposes of retaining earth and providing
privacy.
c. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or
accommodate unique site conditions. The existing grade difference between the project site and adjacent
properties as well as the specific grading that is proposed onsite due to location of the existing historic
residence prevents the development and individual properties from having six-foot walls as measured from the
lots with the lower grade. Further, the grade differences between properties creates privacy concerns with
which the proposed height increase aims to alleviate. Thus, the proposed exception to the maximum wall
height is necessary to allow the applicant to construct functional privacy walls as is common in single-family
residential developments.
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity Other properties in the surrounding area are permitted to receive
and have previously been approved for similar exceptions to wall height should it be determined
necessary to accommodate unique site conditions or allow for creative design solutions in
relation to accommodating existing grade differences that result in privacy or earthwork issues.
The proposed wall height increase shall not result in impacts to public health, safety, or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity as the applicant will be
required to comply with all applicable building standards to ensure structural integrity with the
increased height.

7. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings for Tree Removal Permit DRC2025-
00094, pursuant to the Development Code Section 17.16.080 in support of the
recommendation:
a. For a development project, every effort has been made to incorporate the
tree(s) into the design of the project and the only appropriate alternative is removal of the tree.
The project has attempted to incorporate all existing heritage trees into the development to the
greatest extent feasible, but the existing location of 12 of the trees pose conflicts with building
locations, grading, and street placement or are in poor health and unable to be brought into a
health status. As such, the trees proposed for removal are requested out of necessity and are
not being removed for any such other reasons.
b. The tree will not have a negative impact of the health, safety, or viability of
surrounding trees, nor will it negatively impact the aesthetics or general welfare of the
surrounding area. The heritage trees proposed for removal will have a positive impact on the
health, safety, and viability of surrounding trees as removal of them will reduce any structural
integrity issues that could result from leaving them in place. Additionally, some of the trees are in
poor health and could cause damage to persons, property, or other trees should they fall or
spread disease. The aesthetics and general welfare of the surrounding area will be improved
with the development as a one-to-one tree replacement will take place and a total of 109 trees
will be added to the site, creating a positive aesthetic impact for the area.
8. Planning staff has determined that the project is not subject to further
environmental review in accordance in accordance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15183 -- Projects Consistent with a
Community Plan or Zoning. The exemption applies to projects that are consistent with the
development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or General Plan policies
for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to
examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or
its site. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b) specifies that examination of environmental effects
for a project consistent with the development density established in the existing zoning,
community plan, or General Plan shall be limited to those effects that:
1) Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located;
2) Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action,
General Plan, or community plan with which the project is consistent with;
3) Are potentially significant off -site impacts and cumulative impacts, which were
not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the General Plan, community plan, or
zoning action or;
4) Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new
information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are
determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior
EIR.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2026-014
SUBTT20756, DRC2024-00416, DRC2025-00093, DRC2025-00096,

Page 7
parcel or the proposed 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 that project solely based on that
impact.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted an updated General Plan in December 2021 and this
document includes a land use plan for the City. Potential environmental effects of development
consistent with the land use plan to serve projected population growth were disclosed in the
City's General Plan update and General Plan EIR, which was certified in December 2021 under
State Clearing House (SCH) Number 2021050261. The certified EIR provided information on
the probable environmental effects of the adoption and implementation of the General Plan
comprehensive update as well as identified General Plan policies and implementation programs
that would reduce those potential effects with additional mitigation measures necessary to
minimize significant impacts on the environment. Impacts related to agriculture and forest
resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, noise, and transportation were determined to be significant and unavoidable even in
the presence of all feasible mitigation measures.
In a Compliance Memorandum report prepared by an on -call CEQA consultant in 2026, Helix, it
was determined that the project is consistent with the environmental analysis performed in the
General Plan EIR. It was found that the existing EIR described the impacts of the project,
identified mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts to the greatest extent feasible, and
that the project would implement the applicable EIR mitigation measures. The project was
determined to qualify for the exemption from further environmental review as:
1) The project is consistent with the development density established by existing
zoning and General Plan policies for which the EIR was certified. The 6.7 -acre
site with 13 residential units will contain a density of 1.94 dwelling units per acre,
which is compliant with the maximum permitted density of two dwelling units per
acre;
2) There are no project -specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site,
and which the EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. The only exception
identified was for the historic resource located on the site, but the General Plan
EIR adequately determined that potential project impacts to historic resources
were determined to be significant and unavoidable. Mitigation measures were
identified in the Historic Resources Assessment and will be applied to the
greatest extent feasible, with any remaining significant and unavoidable impacts
being consistent with the EIR;
3) There are no potentially significant off -site and/or cumulative impacts which the
EIR failed to evaluate. The General Plan EIR considered the incremental impacts
of the project in combination with the buildout of the General Plan and no
potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts related to the project were
identified that were not already previously disclosed in the EIR;
4) There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts
than anticipated by the General Plan EIR;

5) The project will undertake feasible mitigation measures as specified in the
General Plan EIR. The project will incorporate relevant, feasible mitigation
measures specified in the EIR as standard conditions of approval. The project
will also be required to comply with applicable regulations and ordinances in
place that prevent adverse environmental effects.
