D. Site Characteristics The site is occupied by eight single-family homes bwlt well before the City's
incorporation There are several Eucalyptus trees on-site that appear to be remnant windrows
The site is relatively flat, sloping gently from the northwest to the southeast.
ANALYSIS•
A General: The amendment represents Phase one of the General Plan Consistency Program
whereby various conflicts between General Plan Land Use designations and Development
Districts/Speafic Plan designations will be resolved to ensure consistency wdh the General Plan
as recently updated in October of 2001 In this case, the 7-acre site on the west side of Etiwanda
Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Church Street has historically been designated as
Medwm Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) by the General Plan but Low-Medium
Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) by the Etiwanda Speafic Plan. This discrepancy was
discovered during processing of the Etiwanda Apartment protect surrounding the 7-acre site to
the north, west, and south The Low-Medwm Residential designation sits as an island
surrounded by the higher density Medwm Residential designation The amendment would not
only provide consistency with the General Plan, it also ensures greater land use cohesion and
compatibility by eliminating the need for specialized buffering between areas of differing densr<ies.
B Environmental Assessment• Staff completed Part I of the Initial Study and Part II of the
Environmental Checklist. Considering this is a land use amendment only, without an assoaated
physical development protect, and because of the relatively small size of the site (only 7 acres),
and the nominal increase in the potential number of residences, no potential environmental
impacts were found If the Planning Commission concurs then a recommendation for certification
of a Negative Declaration by City Council would be in order.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Dadv Bulletin
newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners within a 300-foot
radius of the protect site
RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Councl
that Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment DRC2002-00231 be approved with issuance of a Negative
Declaration through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.

Comments:
a-d) The proposed amendment is necessary to make the Etiwanda Specific Plan
consistent with the General Plan, which already designates the site as Medwm
Residential All of the surrounding property is designated Medwm Residential and
the sRe therefore appears as an island of Low-Medwm Residential.

a-c) Redesignating the site to Medwm Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) from
Low-Medwm Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) will allow for potentially more

Comments•
a-b) No known faults pass through the srte, and it is not in an Earthquake Fautt Zone, nor is
it in the Rancho Cucamonga Crty Speaal Study Zone along the Red Hdl Fault. The
Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes wdhin 3 miles northwest of the srte,
and the Cucamonga Fautt Zone lies approximately 4 8 miles north. The magnitude of
the maximum probable event along these faults is estimated at moment magnitude
(M,V) 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jaanto Fault, capable of produang up to M,,,
7.5 earthquakes is 9.0 miles northeast of the sde and the San Andreas Fault, capable
of up to M,,, 8.2 earthquakes, is 11.5 miles northeast of the sde. Each of these faults
can produce strong ground shaking Adhering to the Cdy grading standards and the
Unrform Bwlding Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than signfficant.
c) In the absence of shallow groundwater, the sde is not considered susceptible to sod
liquefaction.
d) The site is not located near a body of water; therefore, the proposed development
will not expose people to a seiche hazard
e) The srte is relatively flat, therefore, there is no danger of landslides or mudflows.
Future grading to accommodate a protect will be mammal to even out the site and
create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage.
f-h) Sod type at the site and in the wcinity is Tutunga association (Tv6) The Tutunga
series consists of somewhat excessively drained, nearly level to moderately
sloping sods formed on alluvial fans in granitic alluvium. A sods report will be
required poor to the issuance of budding permits. Standard grading practice
includes watenng of exposed/graded surfaces to control dust The City's General
Plan indicates that most soil types in the City are very adaptable to land
development and are not of an expansive nature.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

Comments•
a) A Preliminary Drainage Study was prepared by Dan Guerra and Associates for the
Etiwanda Apartments project surrounding the site to the north, south, and west.
The sde drams southerly to Foothill Boulevard, through the Foothill Market Place,
and ultimately to the Day Creek Channel. The City's Master Plan of Drainage
proposed is to redirect this area easterly to the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Channel.
Interim conditions do not allow additional flows to the faality until downstream
regional faalities are completed. In addition, the property is not physically capable
of draining to the basin. A Final Drainage Report prepared for Tract 15711 (located
north of the project site) in September 1997, provides for the redirection of the
undeveloped runoff from this area, with mitigation detention occurring in Basin No. 6
to account for this increased undeveloped flow. The report suggests on-site
detention of the incremental developed runoff from this area to occur as a potential
option. A final Drainage Study will be regwred with routine processing of future
development project on the site.
b) Based on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM, 1984) prepared by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the project site is located within a °Flood
Hazard Zone C.° This zone is defined by FEMA as an area of minimal flooding.
c-e) Whether or not the proposed land use amendment is approved, future grading
on-site to accommodate a project could exceed 5 acres, as the total site area is
7 acres This will regwre the applicant of such a future project to prepare a Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for submittal to the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB). A future project would also regwre a General
Construction Activity Storm Water Runoff Permit from the SWRCB. Both the
SWRCB and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) will require the
use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to control the
discharge of pollutants and sediments into streets and/or storm water conveyance
channels BMPs would include, but are not limited to, street sweeping of paved
roads during construction and the use of hay bales or sand bags to control erosion
~~7
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DRC2002-00231 -Forecast Corporation Page 6
during the rainy season A final Grading Plan will be prepared for any future
protects on the site in accordance with City standards and show how storm water
runoff will be handled both during construction and operation. Approval of Grading
Plans and conditions applied to the protect by the Bwlding Offiaal to ensure
adequate site drainage and adherence to BMPs identified in the SWPPP, wtll make
this impact less than significant.
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area, as
the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standards or contribute to () () () (~)
an existing or protected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? () () () (~)
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or () () () (~)
cause any change m climate?
d) Create obtectionable odors? () () () (~)
Comments•
a-d) The proposed land use amendment does not include an associated construction
protect. Development of the site in conformance with either the Low-Medium or
Medwm Residential districts will require analysis to ensure compliance with the
South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements. Since there is no
physical protect associated with this request, no such analysis can yet be made.
Furthermore, the site is relatively small, only 7 acres, and protects that can be
accommodated on such a small site do not usually result in signficant air quality
restrictions, alter air movement, or affect temperature. There are no known
sensitive receptors in the vicinity, and development of the site with residential uses
is unlikely to generate pollutants or obtectionable odors.

g) Rail or air traffic impacts? () () () (~)
Comments•
a) Roadways that will be utilized by a future development on the site include Foothill
Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue. The eight single-family residences on site
generate minimal traffic. Existing intersections in the vicirnty of the site currently
operate at Level of Service (LOS) D capacity or better. The site is so small that a
future development protect would have traffic generation levels below the San
Bernardino County Association of Governments threshold of 250 peak hour trips
and therefore not regwre a Congestion Management Plan Traffic Impact Analysis
(CMP/TIA). The applicant for a future development protect will be responsible for
paying the City traffic impact fees and improwng the project's frontage along
Etiwanda Boulevard. The applicant shall pay traffic impact fees that amount to the
project's fair share of roadway improvements as identrfied by the City Engineer.
b-f) There is no physical project proposed so it is impossible to analyze traffic circulation
design, etc The site has approximately 500 feet of frontage on Etiwanda Avenue,
which provides sufficient opporturnty for adequate street access.
g) Located approximately 7 miles northeast of Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not be dangerous to users or aircraft

Comments•
a) The site and surrounding area is NOT within the Ontario Habitat Recovery Unit
for the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (DSFLF) as identified within Figure 6 of the
U S. Fish and Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the DSFLF dated September
14, 1997. The site contains 8 residential units. The srie is mostly vegetated with
non-native grasses and eucalyptus trees. Past agricultural and residential
development has eliminated native vegetation at this site
b-c) The sfte contains several mature Eucalyptus trees that would need to be removed
to accommodate future development of the site. However, this would be necessary
whether the site remains in the current Low-Medium Residential district or is
changed to the Medium Residential. In any case, no development project is
associated with this amendment, and therefore there is no impact.
d) There is no npanan or wetland habitat on-site.
e) The I-15 Freeway borders the site along the west and northwest. The site falls
within an area of town that is rapidly being developed with new apartments and
single-family homes. This development has eliminated any wildlife corndors that
may have occurred in the past.

Comments•
a-e) There is no evidence of commercial or industrial uses. No evidence of discarded
drums, containers, or hazardous wastes were observed during a site visit. There
was no indication of underground storage tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site.
Past and current uses at and near the site include vineyard and residential
development Demolition of residential structures to accommodate a future protect
will be done in accordance with applicable Crty regulations. There is no actual
development proposal associated with this amendment; however, changing the
district from Low-Medium Residential to Medium Residential will not increase
potential health hazards, fire hazards, or cause exposure of people to health
hazards.

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? O O O (~)
b) Police protection? () () () (~)
c) Schools? () () () (~)
d) Maintenance of public faalities, including roads? () () () (~)
e) Other governmental services? () () () (~)
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection -The site is located immediately west of Etiwanda Avenue and
approximately 1,000 feet north of Foothill Boulevard, and is served by the Foothill
Fire Protection Distract The nearest fire station is located on Base Line Road, west
of Day Creek Boulevard, and approximately 2 miles northwest of the site. The
Foothill Fire Distract is responsible for evaluating any future projects on the site
through the City's Development Review and Growth Management process.
Police Protection -Police Protection for the area is provided under a contract with
the County Sheriff's Department. Residential development is routinely regwred to
include standard security devices, such as street lighting and locks on all windows
and doors.
Schools -The Etiwanda School Distract and the Chaffey Joint High School Distract
serve the area. A standard Condition of Approval on future development projects
will regwre the payment of school impact fees
Parks -The slight increase in potential population associated with the proposed
amendment (42 more people if developed at maximum density) will have nominal
affect on parks and any impact will be mitigated by payment of park fees at the
established rate.
Public Facilities -The site is so small that future residential development would not
significantly increase traffic on adjacent streets. The proposed amendment makes
the Etiwanda Specific Plan consistent with the General Plan, which already
designates the site as Medwm Residential. Any future development would be
regwred to construct all necessary street improvements and pay traffic impact fees
as established by the City Counal to offset the incremental increase in traffic.

Comments:
a-g) The land area of the site is so small that the increase in allowable density
anticipated by the proposed amendment will have a negligible impact on utilities
and services. Any future development will extend as necessary existing systems
and utilities available in the immediate area. Utility systems installed to service
existing development within the area, are adequate and will not require major
modrfications or alterations Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current
City contracted hauler.

16. MANDATORY FINDINGS O~ 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 () () () (~)
to achieve short-tens, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one, which occurs,
in a relatively beef, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: 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.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have () () () (~)
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments•
a-d) The amendment does not have a physical project associated with it, so assessment
of all potential impacts cannot be undertaken until a project is proposed. The
amendment is necessary to make the Etiwanda Specific Plan consistent with the
General Plan, which already designates the site as Medium Residential. The site is
relatively small, only 7 acres, so the increase in households that would result in
re-districting the site from Low-Medium to Medium residential would be nominal.
For the most part, impacts associated with development of the site under Medium
Residential requirements are indistinguishable from that associated with
development of the site under Low-Medium Residential requirements. The
amendment will foster compatibility of land uses, as the site is an island of Low-
Medium Residential surrounded by Medwm R(,(esidential.

Prolect Description: A request to amend the land use district designation from Low-Medwm Residential
(4-8 dwelling units per acre) to Medwm Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) for approximately 7 acres of
land as Phase One of the General Plan consistency program
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the protect may have a significant effect on the envvonment and is
proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
® The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the protect may have a significant
effect on the environment
~ The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but
(1) Revisions in the protect plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the effects or
mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the protect as revised may have a
significant effect on the envronment
If adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not be required.
Reasons to support this finding are included m the attached Initial Study. The protect file and all
related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division at
10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-2847

B Desion Review Committee The Design Review Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Fong)
reviewed the project at their March 5 and 19, and April 2, 2002, meetings (Exhibit "I") The
Committee recommended approval of the protect with conditions.
C Grading and Technical Committees. The Grading Committee reviewed the project on
March 5, and April 2, 2002 The Technical Committee reviewed the project on
March 5, 2002 Both Committees recommended approval with conditions
D Neiohborhood Meeting A neighborhood meeting was held on March 14, 2002 Five
people attended the meeting, which included property owners from the surrounding
residences to the north and south of the subject site The residents asked questions
regarding street improvements to the north and the easterly parking lot walls and noise
E Environmental Assessment Part I of the Initial Study was completed by the applicant.
Staff completed Part II of the Initial Study (Exhibit "J") and the Environmental Checklist
Staff determined that the protect could have a sigmficant adverse environmental impact on
short-term air quality and noise during site preparation, such as dust caused by grading
and equipment noise Mitigation measures will be required to reduce the short-term air
quality and noise impacts to a less than significant impact If the Commission concurs,
then issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order
VARIANCE ANALYSIS
A Bwidina Height Icrease• The applicant is proposing to increase the maximum bwlding
height from 30 feet to 45 feet Because of the sigmficant grade assocated with the
property, the protect is subject to Hillside Development Regulations A variance is
required to increase and encroach into the maximum building height by 15 feet The intent
of the Hillside Development Regulations is to minimize adverse effects of grading while
allowing for reasonable development of land In order to integrate the building to the
surroundings, the applicant has proposed a terraced site design The bwlding will be
suffiaently set back from property lines and curb face of Vineyard Avenue and Calle del
Prado to eliminate impacts to adjacent properties Granting of the variance for the
increased height of the structure will result in a portion of the sanctuary roof element
approximately 10 feet greater in height than the surrounding single-family residences The
increased height element only applies to the northwest comer of the sanctuary roof, with
the remainder of the building compliant with the Hillside Development Regulations In
addition, the proposed roof pitch and style are characteristic with that associated with a
church/sanctuary The increased building height is necessary to accommodate proper
interior dimensions for the sanctuary for aesthetic and acoustical purposes Further, the
topography of the site is such that it slopes 25 feet from the north property line to the south
property boundary The sanctuary is located in the downhill (i a ,lower) portion of the site
Because of the unique topographic setting of the site and proposed building setbacks, the
variance for budding height will not result in a negative aesthetic impact on the
surrounding neighborhood
B Increased Wall Heioht The applicant is proposing to construct parking lot retaining walls
up to a maximum of 15 feet The Development Code allows a maximum 6-foot wall for
residential districts The retaining walls are necessary to accommodate development of

the parking lot at the eastern portion of the site, away from Vineyard Avenue The
northernmost wall has a height varying from less than 1 foot at its western end to 10 feet
high at the east end The second retaining wall at the center of the parking lot has a
height varying from less than 1 foot at its eastern end to 15 feet at its west end
(Exhibit "H") Both of these retaining walls are curb height from the north with the wall
exposed to the south Because of the fall of the site, which continues south of the parking
lot an additional 15 feet before reaching the property line, the height difference from the
adjacent properties is as much as 40 feet As such, the retaining walls are not visible from
the south Design and height of the wall will be further visually mitigated through
decorative plaster, plasters, and landscape treatment
C. Staff Conclusion Based on the above analysis, staff believes that there are sufficient
facts to support the findings of the requested Vanance The site's topography is such that
it slopes 55 feet from the northeast comer down toward the southwest comer, and 25 feet
from the north property line to the south property line Exposure of the site to excessive
topography constitutes an exceptional circumstance, as the vast ma~onty of land within the
Low Residential Distnct is not exposed to such excessive topography
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public heanng in the Inland Vallev Daly
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mated to all property owners
within a 300-foot radius of the project site
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use
Permit DRC2001-00439 and Variance DRC2001-00444 through the adoption of the attached
Resolutions of Approval with Conditions

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2001-00439 -
LIFEWAYCHURCH -The development of a new church facility of approximately 41,300 square feet
to include a sanctuary, educational facilities, a gymnasium, administrative offices, and storage on
5.03 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at southeast
comer of Vineyard Avenue and Calle del Prado - APN: 208-921-36. Related files:
DRC2001-00444.
Design Parameters: The site is located at the southeast comer of Vineyard Avenue and Calle del
Prado, across the street from Red Hill Park. The site is undeveloped with a substantial slope from
west to east. The soil is undeveloped, covered with grasses, and with no mature trees. Single-
familydwellings sun-ound the property on the north and south. Immediately east of the sde is vacant
land. Access to the site will be through proposed drive approaches on Vineyard Avenue and Calle
del Prado.
The project consists of a master plan of 41,300 square feet of building area wdh sanctuary, storage,
educational facilities, an office area, a fellowship hall, and a gymnasium. The buildings will be built
on the 5.03 acres of land. The buildings will be self sufficient with independent access, parking and
utility sernces. Finish materials for the proposed bwlding extenor include pilastertexture,aluminum
storefront windows, stained glass treatment, and a concrete file roof.
The applicant proposes to develop the properly in four phases. The first phase will include a
sanctuary and office building fronting Vineyard Avenue and a parking lot on the east end of the site.
Phase One is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2002. Budding design approval is only being
requested for Phase One, with the remainder phases only being master planned in terms of building,
parking, and axess locations. Phase Two will consist of the construction of atwo-story education
budding along Calle del Prado behind the sanctuary to be completed by 2006. Phase Three will
include the construction of a fellowship hall behind the office budding toward the south side of the
site proposed to be completed by 2008. Phase Four will consist of a gymnasium to the east of
Phase three after 2010.
Stall Comments• The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
The 45-foot Sanctuary Budding Height -Reduce budding height to comply with the 30-foot
maximum budding envelope of the Hillside Development Ordinance; therefore, a Variance
application was submitted. Staff does not support such a Variance. All buildings are subject
to the 30-foot maximum budding envelope of the Hillside Development Ordinance and
maximum height of the subject zone. The height is particularly troublesome because this
portion of the budding faces directly at the single-famiy residences on Calle Del Prado.
2 Architectural Style -The proposed architectural style is not compatible with, or sensitive to
the ranch style' surrounding single-family residential neighborhood. In particular, the large,
flat wall planes and flat parapet Imes would create too abrupt of a change in the
neighborhood. The Development Code states, "a recognizable design theme shall be
established, which is compatible with surrounding development. Subtle vanations are
encouraged, which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord
in the overall character of the immediate neighborhood It is not intended that one style of

3. Provide more enhancements of north and east elevations of sanctuary including but not
limited to, greater use of tle roof forms and additional building matenals.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the folowing secondary design issues:
1. Incorporate 30-inch by 30-inch pilasters into tubular steel fence consistent with materials
used on the walls and buildings.
2. Proposed parking lot retaining walls shall be constructed with decorative materials.
3. Landscape berming, decorative low walls, shrub hedges, or combination thereof, shall be
provided to screen parking areas from view of Vineyard Avenue.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the applicant revise the project and return for further Design Committee
review.
Design Review Committee Action:
. Members Present Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong
Staff Planner. Kart Coury
The Committee directed the applicant to add the following:
1. The Committee supported the requested 45-foot building height variance and stated that it
would be acceptable based on the reason that the increase height would only apply to a
small portion of the building (at the northwest comer), and the angle of the roof would be
charactenstic with that of a church.
2. The Committee identified that the proposed architectural style of the church may not be
consistent with the surrounding single-family neighbofiood, but felt fiat added stacked
stone elements, variation of the roof file cobr, additional landscaping, and modification of the
building colors would soften the appearance of the building and make it more compatible to
the immediate area.
3. Incorporate a second building material such as bock or cultured stone to add warmth to the
proposed buildings.
4. Darken the proposed roof tie color (at a minimum a shade darker in brown, rather than the
proposed reddish/orenge color).
5. Increase the proposed reveal expansions on building face to minimum of 3 to 4 inches.
6. Incorporate 30-inch by 30-inch pilasters into tubular steel fence consistent with materials
used on the walls and buildings.
7. Proposed parking lot retaining walls shall be constructed with decorative materials.
Incorporate mural type theme on the large wall face surface, particularly at the courtyard
plaza area.

polices adopted by agencies with turisdiction
over the protect
c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the () () () (/)
vicinity
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an () () (/) ( )
established community
Comments:
a-b) In the City of Rancho Cucamonga, churches are permitted in a residential zone
with a Conditional Use Permit The land use designation is Low Density
Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre), which is characteristic of the existing
development surrounding the site
c) Land uses in the surrounding area are designated Low Density Residential
(2-4 dwelling units per acre) Implementation of the proposed protect will build-
out the site over a period of approximately eight years The relationship of
church sites within single-family neighborhoods is common throughout the city
Churches are allowed in any residential land use designation upon review and
approval of a Conditional Use Permit
d) The proposed protect includes elements of the structure that are 45-feet in
height, a variance is requested allow the sanctuary and "cross" tower to be in
excess of the 35-feet height limit of the Low Density Residential District The
granting of a variance for the increased height of the structure will result in
portions of the protect that are at least 10-feet greater height than the
surrounding single-family residences
The Variance also includes two separate retaining walls of up to 15'2" in height
that are proposed in order to terrace the parking lot in the east portion of the
site Due to the north-south fall of the topography, the difference pad elevations
between adtacent properties north and south of the south of the site is as much
as 40-feet The proposed retaining walls run east-west across the interior of the

parking lot, not at the site boundaries, and will therefore have no impact on
adjacent properties
The topography of the site is such that it slopes 25-feet from the north property
line to the south property boundary Due to the unique topographic setting of
the site, the variance for bwlding height and retaining wall height will not result
on a negative aesthetic impact on the surrounding neighborhood

facilities including a sanctuary, fellowship hall, administrative offices, gymnasium
and storage space Build-out of the church will have no impact to population and

a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Alquist-Pnolo Special Studies
Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red
HIII Fault. The Red Hdl Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within Yz mile
southeast of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3Ys miles
northerly. These faults are both capable of producing 6 0 to 7 0 magnitude
earthquakes Also, the San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to
7.5 magnitude earthquakes is approximately 14 miles northeast of the site and the
San Andreas, capable of up to 8 2 magnitude earthquakes, is approximately
15 miles northeast of the site Each of these faults can produce strong ground
shaking The site is otherwise located on stable soils. Adhenng to the Uniform
Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less than signrficant
d) The site is not located near a body of water
e) The site is sloping at approximately 14 percent from east to west The Ramona
Sandy Loam soils have a moderate nsk of erosion where no vegetation is
present The site contains non-native annual grasses that prevent substantial
erosion of the native soils
f) The construction will result in changes in topography by introducing structures,
parking areas and hardscape to the environment The Environmental Impact
Report prepared for the General Plan update indicates that development on
slopes in excess of ten percent could affect the slope, but the degree of impact
is dependent on the intensity of the protect The proposed protect includes
retaining walls to terrace the development across the site Standard erosion
controls measures will be employed dunng construction of the site and
disturbance of the native soils to minimize erosion
g-i) The proposed protect is located on Ramona Sandy Loam, 9 to 15 percent slope
These soils are not considered expansive soils and the potential for subsidence
is minimal There are no unique geologic features on the site

g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater's () () () (/)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? () () () (/)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of () () () (/)
groundwater otherwise available for public
water supplies
Comments:
a) Development of the prolect site is expected to result in decreased absorption
rates, and increased runoff due to the introduction of paved surfaces to the site.
The proposed development on the less than 5-acre site will not require the
preparation of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), since grading
of the site will not exceed 5 acres As a condition of prolect approval however, a
drainage study/plan showing how stormwater runoff will be handled, both during
construction and operation, must be provided to the City Engineer pnor to
issuance of a grading permit Proper grading and drainage control will ensure
this potential impact is less than significant The design of the site will direct
surface water run-off to Vineyard Avenue
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain
c-e) The prolect site is not located near a body of water
f-i) The prolect will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the
area

b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? () (/) () ( )
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, () () () (/)
or cause any change in climate
d) Create obtectionable odors () () () (/)
Comments:
a) The proposed protect was screened using Urban Emission Model 7G
(URBEMIS7G) prepared by Jones 8 Stokes under the guidance of the San
Joaquin Valley Un~ed Air Pollution Control Distnct, the Ventura County Air
Pollution Control Distnct, and the South Coast Air Quality Management Distnct
(SCAQMD) The program generates emissions estimates for land use
development protects The cntena pollutants screened for included reactive
organic gases (ROG), niVous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and
particulates (PM,o) When fugitive dust enters the atmosphere, the larger particles
of dust quickly fall to the ground The smaller particles, however, may remain
suspended for long penods and are referred to as total suspended particulates
(TSP) Within TSP are dust particles that are less than ten microns in diameter and
which are referred to as PM,o Since PM,o is respirateable and can senously
damage the lungs, fugitive dust is a matter of concern
Generally a separate analysis is done for each phase of a protect that is
constructed over a penod of several years However proposed construction
activities within each phase of the proposed protect, emitted only minor amounts of
cntena pollutants. Therefore all phases of the protect were combined to reflect a
worst-case situation As shown in Table 1, if phases 1 through IV were constructed
simultaneously, construction emissions would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
cntena pollutants Construction emissions are screened and quantified to
document the effectiveness of control measures (Table 1) The operational mobile
source emissions were calculated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual 6"' edition values programmed into the URBEMIS7G
model The default fleet mix was modfied to decrease the number of medium to
heavy-duty diesel trucks and increase the number of light passenger vehicles, as
churches generally do not receive large quantities of heavy-duty trucks At protect
buildout, operational emissions do not exceed South Coast Air Quality
Management Distnct (SCAQMD) thresholds of significance (Table 2) However,
since the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and PM,o
mitigation measures will be used to minimize the protect contnbution to regional
emission of cntena pollutants

'The proposed protect does not indude mingatlon measures (i a ,street lights, unbroken walkways, secure bike structure,
or shuttle) to decrease vehiGes tops and increase pedeslnan use Therefore, there is no difference between mitlgated and
unmitlgated emissions Additionally, the proposed church volt not use a significant amount of fuel that would contnbute to
daily air emissions Therefore, statlonary emissions were not measurable
Generally, construction of a pro)ect this size volt not exceed SCAQMD thresholds
dunng grading activities for PM,o and NOx, nor SCAQMD thresholds for developed
condition (operational impacts) for NOx Sensitive receptors in the area include
single-faintly residences surrounding the site During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o)
will be generated However, any impacts to these sensitive receptors from
generation of fugitive dust can be mitigated by the following measures
The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent
(approved by SCAQMD and RWOCB) daily to reduce PM~o emissions,
in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
2. Vineyard Avenue and Calle Del Prado shall be swept according to a
schedule established by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated

with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon
time of year of construction.
3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed
25 mph to minimize PM,g emissions from the site during such

4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAOMD and RWOCB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96
hours or more to reduce PM10 emissions.
b) Dunng construction exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and
equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and egwpment traveling
over exposed surfaces will increase NO. and PM,o levels in the area. Table 1
shows a summary of construction emissions with and without mitigation
measures The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts to sensitive
receptors will be at less than significant levels
5. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment
used on-site based on low emission factors and high~nergy 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 proposed protect is the buildout of the proposed church will result in
approximately 35,000 square-feet of church facilities, including sanctuary,
fellowship hall, classrooms, gymnasium, administrative offices, and storage, and
parking for 234 vehicles The end use of the protect will not generate emissions
that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors

Comments:
a) The protect will result in increased vehicle trips compared to the existing vacant
parcel Build-out of the approximately 5-acre site will result up to 35,000 square
feet of church facilities, including sanctuary, fellowship hall, classrooms,
gymnasium, administrative offices, and storage, and parking for 234 vehicles
Build-out of the church will generate 705 lwo-way weekend trips and 105 two-
way weekday trips. Protected traffic trips were calculated using the Institute of
Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook The Congestion
Management Plan (CMP) has established a threshold of 1,000 two-way peak
hour trips Protects exceeding this threshold require a traffic impact analysis
(TIA) Based on the land use and protected two-way taps, the proposed protect
will not regwre a TIA, as traffic associated with church uses is generated during
off-peak hours (weekends and weekday evenings) Build-out of church facilities
at the southeast comer of Vineyard Avenue and Calle Del Prado will not cause a
significant increase in traffic since the level of peak hour trips can be
accommodated using the existing roadway infrastructure
The City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid
by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits Fees are used to fund
roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation In
addition, the protect is required to comply with standard conditions of approval
for provision of adequate ingress/egress from the site Compliance with
conditions of approval will ensure that protect-related trips are less than
significant
b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel and currently has one entry onto Vineyard
Avenue and one entry onto Calle Del Prado Proposed improvements will
include the completion of street improvements along Calle Del Prado and the
Vineyard Avenue frontages Driveways will provide traffic flow through the site
between Vineyard Avenue and Calle Del Prado, so that visitors to the site will
not back up on the street
Access for emergency vehicles is adequate with the provision of a
"hammerhead" turn around (an area of sufficient size to make a three point turn)

(i a fire trucks) will enter the site only fro Vineyard Avenue
e-f) According to the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, Exhibit III-13, the Regional
Multi-Purpose Trail does not cross or occur m the wanity of the site
Implementation of the proposed protect will not be hazardous to pedestrians or
bicyclists nor will it conflict with alternative transportation, such as bus
turnouts/bicycle racks, as there are none adtacent to the site

10. NOISE. Will the proposal result in•
a) Increases in existing noise levels () () (/) ( )
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels () (/) () ()
Comments:
a) Traffic along Vineyard Avenue is the predominant source contributing to the
ambient noise level in the area Sensitive receptors including surrounding
single-family residences will be exposed to elevated noise levels dunng
construction Since the protect is occumng in four phases, only scheduled
construction to occur during a particular phase will occur at a given time.
Therefore elevated noise levels will be short-term and will cease once the
construction of that phase is complete
The following mitigation measures, as required by the Development Code,
would reduce short-term construction-related noise impacts assoaated with the
proposed protect
8. During all project site excavation and grading, the project
contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile,
• with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with the
manufacturers standards.

9. The project contractor shall place all stationary equipment so that
emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the
project site.
10. The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas
that will create the greatest distance between construction related
noise and the noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site,
during all phases of project construction.
11. During all phases of project 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. No construction shall occur on
Sundays and public holidays.
b) The proposed prolect is the master plan for a church, including classrooms and
a new sanctuary, at the southeast comer of Vineyard Avenue and Calle Del
Prado The site is an infill parcel in a residential sector of the City, no significant
noise sources exists, nor will the church faality contnbute to the cause of severe
noise levels in the neighborhood, therefore no mitigation is required.

Schools -Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract
new employees to the area Proposed church facilities will not result in a
significant amount of new employees Employees for similar facilities include a
pastor and an assistant, office staff, and a youth director Employees will likely
be hired from within the community and will not increase the need for schools
Public Faalities -The proposed prolect includes approximately 35,000 square
foot church campus on approximately 5 acres Traffic at build-out (2010) is
expected to generate 705 two-way weekend tnps and 105 two-way weekday

b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic () () () (/ )
effect
c) Create light or glare? () () (/) ( )
Comments:
a-b) In order to integrate the building to the surroundings, the applicant has proposed
a terraced site design. The building will be sufficiently setback from property
lines and curb face of Vineyard Avenue and Calle Del Prado to eliminate
impacts to adtacent properties
The proposed protect includes elements of the structure that are 45-feet in
height, a variance is requested allow the sanctuary and "cross" tower to be in
excess of the 35-feet height limit of the Low Density Residential Distnct. The
granting of a variance for the increased height of the structure will result in
portions of the protect that are at least 10-feet greater height than the
surrounding single-family residences
The Variance also includes two separate retaining walls of up to 15'2" in height
that are proposed in order to terrace the parking lot in the east portion of the
site Due to the north-south fall of the topography, the difference pad elevations
between adtacent properties north and south of the south of the site is as much
as 40-feet The proposed retaining walls run east-west across the intenor of the
parking lot, not at the site boundaries, and will therefore have no impact on
adtacent properties
The topography of the site is such that it slopes 25-feet from the north property
line to the south property boundary Due to the unique topographic setting of
the site, the vanance for building height and retaining wall height will not result
on a negative aesthetic impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
b) The addition of the proposed church facilities and parking will require nighttime
outdoor lighting As a standard condition of development, the applicant will be
required to submit a lighting plan to ensure there are no impacts to sensitive
receptors

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 speaes, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restnct the

or eliminate important examples of the mayor
periods of California history or prehistory
b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential () () () (/)
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 bnef, definitive penod of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts () () () (/)
that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a protect
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current protects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the protect have () () () (/)
environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The protect site and surrounding area is not within the Ontano Habitat Recovery
Unit for the Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly (DSFLF) as identified within Figure 6
of the US Fish & Wildlife Service Final Recovery Plan for the DSFLF dated
September 14, 1997 The protect site is vacant and contains minimal vegetation
Past grading/weed abatement activities have eliminated vegetation at the site
Property surrounding the site is developed with residential or recreational uses
and does not contain adequate habitat for any endangered or threatened
species Additionally, due to the infill nature of the site it is unlikely that cultural
or historical resources will be discovered

b) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with
development of the project site The short-term impacts will occur due to
proposed construction activities. However, the impacts will cease once
construction activities are completed. Implementation of mitigation measures
presented in this Initial Study and standard Conditions of Approval will reduce
short-term impacts to less than significant
c) The proposed project is consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General
Plan that was recently adopted along with the certification of a Program EIR,
Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Consideration for significant
adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and sphere of influence
The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in
significant adverse effects to air quality, the acoustical environment, library
services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were
adopted for each of these resources, however they would not reduce impacts to
less than sigrnficant levels As such, the City adopted statements of overriding
consideration balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan
update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelines
Section 15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes
by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestnan friendly and
conservation of valuable natural open space.
d) The proposed 32,625 square feet of church faalities, including a sanctuary,
fellowship hall, classrooms, gymnaswm, administrative offices and storage
space will be developed on 4 88 acres of land At build-out the faality will be
completely developed with parking, lighting, and landscaping The proposed

FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN 20&921-36
A Rentals
1 Lifeway Church filed an application for the issuance of Vanance DCR2001-00444, as
descnbed in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subtect Vanance request
is referred to as "the application "
2 On the 24th day of Apnl 2002, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public heanng on the application and conGuded said heanng
on that date
All legal prerequisites pnor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred
B Resolution
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows•
1 This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct
2 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission dunng the above-
referenced public heanng on Apnl 24, 2002, including wntten and oral staff reports, together wrath
public testimony, this Commission hereby speafically finds as follows
a The application applies to Conditional Use Pertnit DRC2001-00439, located on the

e The Hillside Residential Development Regulations regwrement fora 30-foot
maximum building height is intended to minimize adverse impacts on viewsheds and grading, while
allownng for reasonable development of land, and
f The proposed sanctuary structure height is necessary to accommodate proper
mtenor dimensions for aesthetic and acoustical purposes, and
g The proposed walls, consisting of a mawmum 15-foot retaining wall wnthin the east
parking lot, is needed to provide ample on-site parking and adequate drainage for the site, and
h Because the drastic topography of the sde does not equally impact most properties
in the same distract, the granting of the Vanance will not set a precedent, and
i Granting of the Vanance wall not be detnmental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, but conversely, well provide adequate parking and an adequate mtenor environment for
patrons of the church
3 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission dunng the above-
referenced public heanng and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and conGudes as follows
a That stnct or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speGfied regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistentwdh the objectives of
the Development Code, in that the bwldmg height restnctions of the Hillside Development
Regulations, applicable to residential construction, would prevent the church from achieving an
adequate mtenor sanctuary environment
b That there are exceptional or extraordinary Grcumstances 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 distract, in that the site slopes steeply from north to south and is subtect to
speual height restnctions intended for single-family homes.
c That stnct or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprave the applicant of pnvileges entoyed by the owners of other properties in the same distract, in
that there are many other churches with generously sized sanctuanes located insingle-family
distracts
d That the granting of the Vanance wall not constitute a grant of speGal pnvilege
inconsistent wrath the limitations on other properties classified in the same distract, in that it is
common for churches to have sanctuanes with high ceilings, and the applicant has carefully
designed the building to comply wrath all other Hillside Residential standards
e That the granting of the Vanance well not be detnmental to the public health, safety,
or welfare or matenally in~unous to properties or improvements in the wGmty, in that the Vanance
represents the minimum necessary height increase to provide an adequate intenorenwronmentarad
only a portion of the bwldmg height v~nll exceed the height limit

To Whom it May Concern
Our property is adjacent to theproposed Lifeway Chwch on Vineyard and Calle del Prado in
Rancho Cucamonga. We have viewed the plans and spoken with Kart Coury but are unable to
attend the meeting held next week as we will be out of town We have a few concerns we would
hke to be ~eard and addressed
1 What types of trees will be planted along the perimeter by our property We would like to
see sometling that is amadive and provides somewhat of a bamer but doesn't hang over
onto ow side or make too much of a mess
2 We have spoken with the engineering department but still have concerns about the drainage
down the hill onto the street It seems that m heavy ram, the street could become flooded
because of the excess watershed
3 The color of the proposed building seems rather bright. We would prefer to see something
that blinds with the surroundings better- more of an earth tone
4 Forty-five feet lugh, even atjust one end, seems excessivegroen the height of
surroundig homes and the view that it would block Since thirty-five feet is the standard,
why is rt necessary to provide a variance and let them build it so lugh~
We appregiate you addressing these concerns
Sincerely, ,

C. Site Characteristics The site is currently a lemon grove and is relatively flat, typically
draining toward the south Eucalyptus tree windbreaks are near the north, south, and east
boundaries of the property Lemon groves border the site on the west, with asingle-family
residence further to the west. Land to the north and east has been approved for
residential subdivision as Tentative Tracts SUBTT16113 and 16114 respectively,
however, the properties are currently undeveloped.
ANALYSIS.
General: The parcel map proposes subdivision into four lots (three parcels for single-
famdy residential development and one parcel to be dedicated for a fue station) The three
residential lots will take access through the approved subdivision to the north (Exhibit "B").
The protect will construct a striped Class II Bike Lane on the shoulder of East Avenue
The protect is located within the Equestrian/Rural Overlay, hence, is regwred to provide
local feeder trails (private equestrian easements), which provide access to the rear of each
lot. The average lot size is 42,329 square feet and is large enough for horse keeping The
proposed equestrian trail layout includes a local feeder trail to the rear of each residential
lot, as well as along the east and west perimeters of Lots 2 and 4.
The proposed 8,873 square foot, single-story fire station will take access off of East
Avenue and will house four personnel and three engine bays (Exhibit "C"). A small
conference room is provided as a public meeting room. Eight on-site stalls are dedicated
for visitor parking. Drainage is provided within the site The proposed fire station building
will be self suffiaent with independent access, parking, and utility services. Finish
materials for the proposed bwlding exterior include exterior plaster texture, wood
outriggers, posts and fascia, real aver rock wainscot with apre-cast concrete cap, and a
concrete file roof (Exhibit "D°).
The parking regwrements for the fire station were based upon a 24-hour shift consisting of
4 firefighters. The following summarizes parking spaces provided•

D. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study was completed by the applicant.
Staff completed Part II of the Initial Study (Exhibit "J") and the Environmental Checklist
Staff determined that the project could have a significant adverse environmental impact on
short-term air quality during site preparation, such as grading and egwpment exhaust.
Mitigation measures will be regwred to reduce impacts to short-term air quality, biological
resources caused by tree removal, and exposure to hazards because of an above-grade
fueling station The mitigation measures will reduce these impacts to a less than
significant level If the Commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration would be in order
CORRESPONDENCE• This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Dadv
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 600-foot radws of the protect site.

Comments:
a-d) The protect includes the subdivision of a 3 89-acre lot into four, approximately
one-acre lots, and the construction/operation of a 8,873 square-foot fire station on
one of the lots The site is located on the west side of East Avenue approximately
250 feet north of 23i° Street within the Estate Residential Distract (one dwelling unit
or less per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan Construction/operation of a fire
station is permitted in residential distracts upon the granting of a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) Fire stations are allowed with a Conditional Use Permit in residential
zones because of the need to provide fire protection and emergency medical
services, with adequate response times, for the Etiwanda community, which is
predominantly residential The Fire Protection Distnct's Strategic Plan 2000-2005
indicates the need for a new fire station in the north Etiwanda area based upon risk
assessment and the General Plan Standard of Coverage
The proposed fire station will be compatible with existing and proposed residential
development Fire station personnel located within residential areas are sensitive
to adjacent neighbors Operational characteristics as described by the City Fire
Chief include a "red lights on only" policy when leaving the site during nighttime
hours Sirens are generally turned on when engines are a sufficient distance from
the site or if vehicles are on the roadway The similar operational procedures will
be applied during the daytime hours to ensure the school, located on the northeast
corner of Banyan Street and East Avenue, is not disrupted Additionally, proposed
vehicle trips (including calls and visitors) will be similar to vehicle trips generated in
residential development And since adjacent parcels are not being developed
concurrently, future residents will be aware that they are adjacent to a fire station

a-b) A Geotechnical Investigation was prepared for the protect by Leighton and
Associates (October 2001) The following is a summary of the findings presented
in the report
There are no known active or potentially active faults that traverse the site, and the
site is not located within an Algwst-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, however, the site
is located Yz mile from the Red Hill fault (also known as the Etiwanda Avenue
Scarp) which has been shown to be active and may be a splay of the Cucamonga
fault The most likely seismic hazard that could affect the site is ground-shaking
resulting from an earthquake occumng along any major active or potentially active
faults in southern California Regional active and potentially active faults that could
produce the most significant ground-shaking on-site include the Cucamonga, Glen
Helen/Lytle Creek, San Jacnto, San Andreas, Sierra Madre, and San Jose faults
Table 1 identifies the faults, their approximate distance from the site, and the
estimated maximum credible earthquake (MCE)
Fault Name
Distance from Site
miles Estimated Maximum
Earthquake Event (MCE)
Cucamon a 1 7.0
Glen Helen/L le Creek 6 7 0
Red Hill 0 5 6 5
San Jacinto 5 6 7
San Andreas 9 8 25
Sierra Madre 8 7 0
San Jose 8 6 5
The geologist evaluating the protect and protect site used computer models to
analyze the potential impacts of maximum credible earthquake (MCE) events
occurring in the region Based on the analysis, the Cucamonga fault will likely
produce the greatest ground acceleration at the protect site, due to its proximity to
the site, fault type, and maximum earthquake magnitude of Mw 7 0. The conclusion
of the geotechnical study is that the site is expected to experience strong
groundshaking during the design life of the project This same conclusion is
reached for most protects in the City of Rancho Cucamonga and vicinity that so
close to several motor faults
These are not considered to be mitigation measures because they generally apply
to all development protects, except possibly redevelopment of a built site So they
would likely show up in some form or another as notes on the grading plan, or lust
be considered standard grading procedures In an effort to standardize these

Initial Studies, we have chosen to treat them as standard regwrements rather than
special mdigation
The geotechnicai investigation included a senes of recommendations that, when
implemented, wdl reduce the potential for significant impacts to occur These
include, but are not limited to properly preparing the site to remove all vegetation
and debris pnor to grading to remove all organic material from the site,
overexcavating and recompacting site sod to create a uniform response to the
applied loads, and reinforcing footings during construction These and other
recommendations made in the geotechnical study, in contunction to regwrements
of the Uniform Budding Code will ensure that impacts associated with severe
ground-shaking wdl be less than significant
c) Liquefaction occurs when loose saturated cohesion-less sods are subtect to ground
shaking dunng an earthquake of large magnitude Additionally, liquefaction may occur
when the water table is less than 40 feet below ground surface The geologists
evaluating the protect site conGuded that based on their investigation, shallow
groundwater levels have not been encountered historically near the site. In addition,
Figure 51-2 of the General Plan EIR identifies only a few isolated areas in the City
where liquefaction could occur These areas are located in the southeast portion of
the City near Red Hdl
d) A seiche is an osallation of water in a lake, reservoir, etc The protect site is not
located near a body of water The nearest bodies of water are the Cucamonga
County Water District (CCWD) reservoir located approximately'/. mde southwest of
the site and the East Etiwanda Creek located approximately'/, of a mile northeast
of the site Given the distance and confinement of these water bodies,
development of the protect site will not expose people or structures to any potential
seiche impacts The site is not within a 100-year flood plain as shown on Exhibit V-
5 of the City's General Plan
e) The site is relatively flat and is not located in an area prone to landslides or
mudflows
f) Site topography wdl be slightly altered by grading to accommodate the protect
The geotechnical investigation included a senes of recommendations that, when
implemented, wdl reduce the potential for significant impacts to occur These
include, but are not limited to properly preparing the site to remove all vegetation
and debris pnor to grading to remove all organic material from the site,
overexcavating and recompacting site soil to create a uniform response to the
applied loads, and reinforcng footings during construction These and other
recommendations made in the geotechnical study, in contunction to requirements
of the Uniform Bwlding Code will ensure that impacts assocated with severe
groundshaking wdl be less than significant
The potential for erosion to occur on-site during grading and site preparation can
be minimized by applying best management practices (BMPs) such as applying
water to the site to reduce wind erosion, and staging sand bags or hay bales in
strategic location on-site to reduce runoff dunng the rainy season Section 4 -

Comments:
a) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate
and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape and
rooftop proposed on the currently vacant site The protect is the development of
approximately one acre with a fire station and assoaated parking lot The site will
be graded to accommodate runoff into the nearest storm drain and will not cause
an adverse impact Grading and development plans, including a drainage plan
must be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of grading permits
Therefore, this potential impact is less than significant

b) Based on Exhibit V-5 of the City's General Pian, the protect site is outside of the
100-year flood plain
c-e) The prolect site is not located near a body of water The nearest bodies of water
are the Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD) reservoir located approximately
Y, mile southwest of the site and the East Etiwanda Creek located approximately
'/. mile northeast of the site The East Etiwanda Creek contains water intermittently
generally during heavy storm events As a standard condition of development, the
applicant is required to provide a drainage study depicting how storm water run-off
will be conveyed both during grading and construction, and once the site is
developed and operating, prior to issuance of grading permits
f-Q The prolect will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as
the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

Comments•
a-b) The proposed project was screened using the Urban Emission Model 7G
(URBEMIS7G) prepared by Jones & Stokes under the guidance of the San Joaquin
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control Distnct, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control
Distnct, and the South Coast Air Quality Management Distnct (SCAOMD) The
program generates emissions estimates for land use development projects The
criteria pollutants screened for inGuded reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides
(NO,), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM,o) Two of these, ROG and NOx,
are ozone precursors Though not required, construction emissions are screened and
quantified to document the effectiveness of control measures (Table 1) The
operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the Institute of Traffic
Engineers (ITE) Tnp Generation Manual 6~' edition values programmed into the
URBEMIS7G model The project construction and operational emissions do not
exceed SCAOMD thresholds of significance (Tables 1 and 2) However, since the
South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended
particulates (PM,o) mitigation measures will be used to minimize the prolect
contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants
Generally, construction of a prolect this size will not exceed SCAOMD thresholds for
PM,o and NO, dunng grading activities, nor SCAQMD thresholds for developed

conditions (operational impacts) for NOx Table 1 shows protect impacts before and
after mitigation measures have been implemented Since the site is small, grading
activities will likely be completed in less than a day and will not generate significant
amounts of dust emissions However, a lemon grove is currently present onsite and
will need to be cleared This activity will likely take a few days and will generate dust
from removal of stumps Since there is a single-family residence located
approximately 220 feet west of the protect site, and since the South Coast Air Basin is
in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM,o) the following
measures shall be implemented
1. East Avenue shall be swept according to a schedule established by the
City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-
site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction.
2. Grading and clearing operations shall be suspended when wind speeds
exceed 25 miles per hour (mph) to minimize PM,o emissions from the site
during such episodes.
3. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAOMD and the Regional Water
Quality Control Board) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas
that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,o emissions.

As shown in Table 2, proposed operation activities at the site are significantly below
SCAQMD thresholds Trips associated with the fire station will be minimal as the
station will employee a total of rnne firefighters with faalities to include an additional
three upon build-out of the area The station will have a maximum shift of three
firefighters per eight-hour period The protected call volume for the station will be
between three to five calls per day Based on three shifts per day, three firefighters
per shift, three to five calls per day, and approximately four visitors per day, the
station will generate between 32 and 36 trips per day Mobile emissions associated
with these vehicle taps is well below SCAQMD thresholds and therefore the impact
is less than significant

Comments:
a) Trips associated with the fire station will be minimal. The Fire Department will staff
the station with nine firefighters in three shifts per day The protected call volume for
the station is between three to five calls per day Based on three shifts per day,
three firefighters per shift, three to five calls per day, and approximately four visitors
per day, the station will generate between 32 and 36 trips per day The impact from
the addition of these vehicle taps is considered less than significant
b-d) Access to the site will be provided by a proposed 35-foot driveway from East
Avenue Employees, visitors, and engines returning from a call will enter from this
driveway Visitors will proceed to the visitor parking area located along the north
side of the building (approximately 32 feet from the driveway entrance) Employees
and engines will proceed around the back of the building, along the west boundary
of the site to employee parking at the southwest corner of the site and to the
apparatus room at the southeast corner of the site, respectively Roll up doors will
be provided on both the front and rear of the apparatus room to enable engines to
easily enter and exit the site The proposed design will allow full access without
impeding through traffic on East Avenue as engines will have a direct route to the
apparatus room and will not have to back up into the site
Based on scheduled development to occur in the area north of Banyan Street along
East Avenue (the fire station and Tract Maps 16113, 16114 and 16115) the City
proposes to widen and make necessary improvements along East Avenue from

Comments:
a) The site consists of approximately one-acre of a 3 89-acre site, which consists of a
citrus grove and single family residence The portion of the site that will be
developed with the fire station is currently vacant Portions of the larger site and
adtacent parcels to the west and south are under citrus cultivation The site and
surrounding area is largely vacant with the exception of asingle-family residence
that occurs approximately 220 feet west of the fire station site The area occurs
outside the Delhi sands flower-loving fly Recovery Unit areas designated by the US
Fish and Wildlife Service as well as outside the areas mapped as supporting Delhi
sods on the US Soil Conservation Service soils maps for the area.
According to the Phase I Site Assessment completed for the protect, the site has
been a lemon grove since at least 1938 In addition to lemon trees, the site
includes eucalyptus windrows around the perimeter of the property and some
additional ornamental vegetation No natural habitat remains on-site
b-c) There are presently onsite 47 Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Blue Gum trees
planted in windrows near the north, south and east boundaries In December 2001,
Knapp Associates prepared a Preliminary Arboricultural Report for the site The
report concluded that of the 47 Blue Gum trees present onsite, most were not
suitable for retaining, and were recommended for removal and replacement The

Comments:
a/d) In August 2001, MGE Engineering, Inc performed a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment for the protect site The protect site consists of an approximate one-
acre portion of a larger 3 89-acre parcel of land Based on review of aerial
photographs for the area, the site has been a afros grove since at least 1938 An
interview with the owner of the property indicated that no water wells, underground
storage tanks, sumps, ponds, etc were ever located on the property No on-site
pestiade fabrication or storage areas were identified In the absence of such
issues, lemon grove usage typically does not pose a sigrnficant environmental
impact Additionally, during an on-site inspection, no hazardous materials storage
or usage was noted No evidence of improper hazardous was disposal was
observed, and no stained or discolored drains, catch basins, drip pads, or sumps
were observed Therefore, development of the site wdl be exposed people or the
environment to existing sources of hazardous materials
The proposed fire station includes an above-grade fueling station The applicant
will obtain appropriate permits from both the County of San Bernardino Hazardous
Material Division and the South Coast Air Quality Management District prior to
occupancy of the fire station
7. All appropriate permits will be obtained prior to certificate of occupancy
and must be documented in a Business Emergency/Contingency Plan to
be approved by the City Emergency Services Office. These safety
measures will mitigate this potentially significant impact to less than

c) The proposed above-ground fueling station will expose employees to vapors
containing benzene, a known carcinogen However, due to current state-of-the-art
equipment, these exposures fall below significant thresholds set by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), therefore this is a less than significant impact
e) The Etiwanda area of the City is relatively undeveloped and is subject to
occasional wildfires The Etiwanda area and the entire area north of the City limits
are more susceptible to fires than other areas in the City due to the presence of
fire-prone vegetation, less convenient access by fire fighting equipment, lack of
water service and inadequate water pressure Development of the proposed
project will provide a fire station in the vicinity The development will also remove
vegetation from the site and extend water service These improvements will reduce
fire hazards within the area

b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels () () (~) ( )
Comments:
a-b) The project is the subdivision of a 3 89-acre parcel into four separate parcels and
the development of an 8,873 square-foot fire station Fire station personnel located
within residential areas are sensitive to adjacent neighbors Operational
characteristics as described by the City Fire Chief include a "red lights on only"
policy when leaving the site during nighttime hours Sirens are generally turned on
when engines are a sufficient distance from the site or if vehicles are on the
roadway Given the number the employees (9 to 12), projected call volume (3 to 5
calls per day), operating procedures, and general distance to potential future
homes, the proposed project will not expose people to severe noise levels

Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection -The proposed protect is the construction/operation of an 8,873
square-foot fire station The station will provide fire protection for the northeastern
most portion of Etiwanda The area is developing with residential neighborhoods
east, northeast and north of the site Road improvements in the area, including the
paving of the northern portion of East Avenue and the construction of streets along
East Avenue leading into the proposed development, will be of appropriate widths
to allow emergency access to proposed residential development
Police Protection -Police Protection for the area is provided under a contract with
the County Sheriffs Department The proposed fire station will include standard
security devices such as onsite lighting, and locks on all windows and doors
Schools -Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract
new employees to the area The development of the site will include an 8,873
square-foot fire station The station will house nine firefighters with facilities to add
an additional three firefighters upon build-out of the area The addition of these
employees will not impact existing schools as the amount of total firefighters is
small and will likely to be hired from within the City or surrounding communities

a) Potential to degrade: Does the protect 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
penods of California history or prehistory
b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential () () (~) ( )
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 bnef, definitive penod of time
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the protect have impacts that () () (~) ()
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a protect
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past protects, the effects of
other current protects, and the effects of
probable future protects )
d) Substantial adverse: Does the protect have () Q () (~ )
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly
Comments•
a) The site is devoid of structures and contains an existing lemon grove Adjacent
parcels to the west and south also contain lemon groves The site and surrounding
area is largely vacant with the exception of a single-family residence that occurs
approximately 220 feet west of the protect site The site and surrounding area
occurs outside the Delhi sands flower-loving fly Recovery Unit areas designated by

the US Fish and Wildlife Service as well as outside the areas mapped as supporting
Delhi soils on the US Soil Conservation Service soils maps for the area
The site has been a lemon grove since at least 1938 In addition to lemon trees, the
site includes eucalyptus windrows around the perimeter of the property and some
additional ornamental vegetation No natural habitat remains on-site
An existing lemon grove is present onsite Also present onsite are 47 Eucalyptus
(Eucalyptus globulus), Blue Gum trees planted in windrows near the north, south
and east boundaries In December 2001, Knapp Assoaates prepared a Preliminary
Arboncultural Report for the site The report concluded that of the 47 Blue Gum
trees present onsite, most were not suitable for retaining, and were recommended
for removal and replacement The applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit
and wdl pay appropriate fees prior to removal The preliminary landscape plan for
the site indicates that 52 trees will be planted onsite Since the trees will be
replaced the impact is considered less than significant
The site is on an alluvial fan, an environment not generally assoaated with
paleontologic resources As the site is relatively small, and has been previously
disturbed by agricultural actrnties, the likelihood of affecting historical or cultural
resources is minimal and impacts are not considered significant
u
b) The Initial Study did not identify any significant short-term impacts with development
of the protect site
c) The proposed protect is consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General
Plan that was recently adopted along with the certification of a Program EIR,
Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Consideration for significant
adverse environmental effects of bwld-out in the City and sphere of influence The
City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant
adverse effects to air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and
aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of
these resources, however they would not reduce impacts to less than significant
levels As such, the City adopted statements of overriding consideration balanang
the benefits of development under the General Plan update against the significant
unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)
These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects
that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space
With these findings and statements of overriding consideration, no further
discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is regwred
d) Development of a new fire station would not cause substantial adverse effects on
humans, either directly or indirectly The Initial Study identified construction-related
emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact However,
proposed mitigation measures will reduce impacts to less than significant
Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality are short-term and wdl cease once
construction actmties are completed
