Design Parameters: The subject site is located in Havenview Estates, a gated community of custom homes. Access to the site will be from a arcular dnveway off Bndle Place. The drneway passes a dual set of steps that leads to the front entrance. A 4-foot high decorative wall will be located adjacent to the dnveway and will act as a retaining wall between the house and the dnveway. A 6-foot high split-face block wall will surround the site and will be painted to match the proposed structure. The wall will be reduced to 3-feet in the front yard setback area. There is an existing 15-foot equestrian trail to the west of the property and an access gate will be installed to allow access to the proposed 256 square foot corral in the rear yard. The corral will be located more than 70 feet from adjacent residences. There will be a flat pad area behind the house (15 feet in width) that will allow for a usable rear yard area. The site slopes from the northwest to southeast at a gradient of approximately 10 peroent. The slope will be contained by two 3-foot high retaining walls near the north property Ime and two vanable height (1 to 3-foot) retaining walls on the south property Ime. These walls have been stepped in accordance with the Hillside Development Standards. The three-car garage and basement will be 10 feet below the first floor, resulting in a 5-foot cut of land. This cut is regwred to . allow the bwlding to comply with the 30-foot building envelope regwrement. The 10-foot high stem walls will retain the earth surrounding the basement and garage. These walls will not be wsible from Bndle Place. The proposed two-story house will contain 5,610 square feet of floor area with athree-car garage located below ground level, out of sight from the street. A storage room, workshop, shower, and elevator are located adjacent to the garage. Access to the house from the garage will be from an internal stairway and an elevator. The 4,710 square foot first floor will contain a living room, dining room, family room, game room, a study, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a master bedroom, three bathrooms, and a powder room. The second floor will be 971 square feet and will contain a bonus room and a bathroom. The building footpnnt contains very few straight Imes which helps create visual interest to the outside of the structure. House mass conforms to the bwlding envelope for an uphill lot. The cut of up to 10 feet for the basement garage exceeds 5 vertical feet that requires Planning Commission approval. The design concept of cutting into the slope to 'nestle' the house into the existing grade to reduce effective bulk, minimize visible grading, and allow the home mass to terrace down the slope is encouraged by the Hillside Development Ordinance. This technique has been approved on other homes in Rancho Cucamonga. The extenor of the house will be covered with a plaster finish with twin stairways leading from the dnveway to the front entrance Four cylindncal columns will surround the front entry. Pre-cast tnm will surround several windows faang Bndle Place. A foam fasaa cornice will be located between the extenor walls and the roof. The roof will be covered with charcoal colored concrete tiles. Staff Comments• The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee • discussion. I ~~a DRC COMMENTS DRC2002-01005 -HUNTER March 18, 2003 Page 2 Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The amount of grading for pad area should be limited to the building foundation and a usable rear yard area of 15 feet adjacent to and between the home and top/toe of slope pursuant to Hillside Development Ordinance Section 17.24.070.6.6. The protect exceeds this considerably with up to 40 feet of flat rear yard area. Grading should be redesigned to comply which will eliminate much of the extensive cut in rear yard and sign'rficantty reduce the amount of soil export. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee recommend approval of the protect to the Planning Commission. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman Staff Planner. Rick Fisher The Committee approved the protect with the following condition: The penmeter block wall that is proposed to surround the property shall be compnsed of split-face block and will not be painted. Surface drainage in the rear yard shall be directed away from the proposed house and shall not cross onto surrounding properties.

ANALYSIS: A. Background: On September 25, 2002, the Planning Commission conducted aPre-Application Review Workshop on the proposed eight-building, professional office complex. Overall, the Commission was pleased wdh the octagonal footprint and honeycomb design of the buildings. Although the buildings are wood-frame construction, the Commission indicated that the design of the protect, with a smooth plaster finish, was compatible with the surrounding area and directed the applicant to proceed with the protect. B. General: The protect site is located on the west side of Utica Avenue, approximately 300 feet south of Arrow Route. The project site is located within an Industrial Park District, which staves for high employment density and a high level of architectural quality. Site planning must incorporate elements of a pedestrian-oriented, campus-like setting with intensified landscaping. Paseos, esplanades, and courtyards are highly encouraged The proposed protect has been designed to make optimum use of window exposure for amulti- tenant professional office complex All buildings have significant movement in the wall plane and footprint, thereby providing strong articulation. A vanety of accent features and architectural elements that provide visual interest and relief to the elevations have been utilized, including cornices, accent diamonds, polished granite insets, and foam trim around the windows The project has been designed with an interior courtyard that includes tables, chairs, pathways, and landscaping. The project meets the intent of the Design Gwdelines for the Industrial Park District by providing a high level of architectural quality and a significant outdoor pedestrian feature C Design Review Committee: The site, bwlding elevations, materials, and conceptual landscaping were reviewed on March 4, 2003. The Committee (Stewart and Coleman) recommended approval. D. Grading Review Committee• The project was reviewed by the Grading Committee on March 4, 2003. The Committee recommended approval, with a condition requinng that the trash enclosure be shifted to the north along the westerly property line, and that the retaining wall south of the north property line be shifted southerly, thereby creating a landscape planter The Committee's conditions have been included in the attached Resolution of Approval. E. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on March 5, 2003, and recommended approval subject to the standard conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval V 1~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2002-00929 AND SUBTPM16071 - G & L COMMERCIAL, LLC . April 9, 2003 Page 3 F Environmental Assessment Parts I and II of the Initial Study were completed The site is in an area identified as potential Delhi Sands flower-loving Fly (DSF) habitat. Based on a Habitat Swtabtlity Evaluation, the site did not exhibit features characteristic of a viable habitat. The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (DSF) report indicated that the site is not suitable for supporting an extant DSF population due to the historic agricultural uses and the reoccurring disking activities in the past. Previous disturbance of the site has resulted in the growth of mainly non-native species, and the site is located within an area that is developed or disturbed in all directions. Results of the survey also indicated that no DSF species were observed or recorded during the survey. The report concluded, based on the aforementioned reasons, that the sde does not contain habitat suitable to support or sustain a viable DSF population, and the occurrence potential for DSF is therefore considered low on the site. Therefore, staff determined that the site would presumably remain unsuitable for DSF Staff concluded that the protect could have a sign'rficant adverse environmental impact on short- term air quality during site preparation, such as grading and egwpment exhaust. Mitigation measures wdl be required to reduce impacts to short-term air quality. The mitigation measures wdl 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 Vallev Dady Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners within a 300-foot radws of the project site. RECOMMENDATION• Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts and approve Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16071 and Development Review DRC2002-00929 by the adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with conditions.

Comments: a-d) The 3 OB-acre site is located lust west of Utica Avenue, approximately 300 feet south of Arrow Route. The proposed protect would involve a single lot subdivision and development of an office complex consisting of eight attached buildings around a central courtyard for office condominium purposes. The protect would be developed in accordance with the Development Code, Chapter 17.30 Industnal Park (Subarea 6). Similar developments to the proposed protect exist directly east, south, and west of the site, A vacant lot exists directly north of the site, followed by Arrow Route. The protect would generate increased emissions in the area dunng construction and protect operations Section 5 -Air Quality discusses the emissions generated by the protect, analysis of impacts, and proposed mitigation measures The protect would also increase the noise levels onsrte since it is currently vacant.

Comments• a-b) The proposed project would involve development of eight attached office buildings on a currently vacant 3.08-acre site located west of Uhca Avenue and approximately 300 feet south of Arrow Route. The development would be used for professional office purposes. Although the exact number of employees that would be generated by the project is currently unknown, it is antiapated that approximately 200 to 250 employees would work at the faality. Since the City is considered a housing nch area, the proposed project would increase the number of employees working within the City, and thus improve the City's housing to job ratio. The proposed project is not anticipated to cumulatively exceed the local or regional population projections within the City Development of the project would not create any significant impacts with regards to population growth within the City. c) The project site is currently vacant and was previously graded. Commercial/industnal developments exist to the east beyond Utica Avenue Office developments are located to the south and west directly adjacent to the site. The site directly to the north is vacant and zoned as tdustnal Park. The project would not displace any existing housing since the site is located within an industnal area of the City. vaenaalry ~~ Impea Lw Issues and Supporting Information Sources PaanUBly Unlesa ,nea Significant MNgaeon Spn~Raml No Im ea Inm sled I q 1 a 3.

The Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the sde, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3 9 miles north of the sde. Both these faults are capable of producng a moment magnitude (fuf,,,) 6.0 - 7 0 earthquake. The San Jaanto Fault Zone, capable of producing up to NI,,, 6 9 earthquakes, passes v~nthm 9.1 miles northeast of the site. The San Andreas fault, capable of up to M,,, 8 2 earthquakes, passes vwthin 12.8 miles to the north. These faults discussed are capable of producing intense ground shaking. Adhenng to the Unrform Budding Code would ensure that geologic impacts are less than signrficant. c) Uquefaction occurs when loose saturated cohesion-less sods are subfect 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. Based on ground water depths within the area (approximately 300-350 feet below surface grade), the potential for liquefaction within the protect area is unlikely. The protect site is not located in an area susceptible to ground failure from liquefaction according to the City's General Plan EIR. The nearest area susceptible to liquefaction is located approximately 4 5 miles northwest of the site Adhenng to the Cdy grading standards, and The Uniform Budding Code, would ensure impacts are less than signrficant. d) The site is not located near a body of water According to Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan, the protect sde is not located m close proximity to any areas susceptible to 100-year floodwater inundation. The nearest 100-year flood hazard area is located along Deer Creek, which traverses in a northeasUsouthwest direction approximately 0.6 miles west of the site. Development of the proposed project should not create any impacts with regards to seiche hazards. • e) The site is relatroely flat and has been previously graded Development surrounds the protect site in all directions except to the north, where a vacant lot currently exists This lot to the north is likely to be developed in the future. No landslide or mudflow issues are anticipated with the proposed development. f) The topography would be altered to accommodate the protect because the site is currently vacant and has been previously graded A grading permit would be regwred pnor to any onsite grading. Grading would be done in accordance wdh a grading plan approved by the City Engineer. a,~3~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2002-00929 Page 7 g-h) The protect site is located within the Delhi Fine Sands Association according to Figure V-3 of the City's General Plan and the Sod Survey of San Bernardino County Southwestern Part, California (USDA, Sod Conservation Service, 1980). Delhi sods consist of somewhat excessively drained, nearly levels to strongly sloping sods that formed on alluvial fans in coarse textured, wind re-worked granitic material. This sod type ~s described in detail below. 1. Delhi fine sand sods are characterized as having very slow runoff. These soils have been used for crop irrigation. Their available water capaaty is about 4 to 5 inches. The hazard for sod blowing is moderate, but can be high if soil is unprotected Roots can penetrate to a depth of 60 inches or more. This sod is suitable for development. i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

The protect would involve development of eight attached office buildings with parking areas and landscaping. A drainage system would be constructed to handle the excess storm water flow onsite. Upon completion, the site would generally slope towards the southeast, with drainage channels constructed throughout the parking area to channel the stormwater flows through the site. A drainage system would then extend underneath a proposed sidewalk and connect to the drainage system along Utica Avenue. Additionally, a curb and gutter system would be constructed around the perimeter of the site to prevent stormwater runoff outside of the proposed drainage system. A retammg wall would be constructed along the northern property Ime, and slopes would incline away from the site m all directions beyond the proposed curb and gutter system. • A final grading plan will be prepared m accordance with City standards to show how storm water runoff will be handled both during construction and post-construction Approval of grading plans and conditions applied to the protect by the City Engineer to ensure adequate site drainage would make this impact less than significant. b) Based on Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan, the protect site is outside of the 100-year flood plain. The nearest 100-year flood hazard area exists along Deer Creek, which runs m a northeasUsouthwest direction approximately 0.6 miles west of the site. A curb and gutter system would exist along the perimeter of the protect site, wrath inclining slopes leading away from the site beyond the proposed curb and gutter system In addition, a retammg wall would be constructed along the northern property Ime beyond the inclined grade In addition, an onsite drainage system would channel and concentrate stormwater flow through the site. The proposed protect should not create any flooding hazard impacts with construction of the proposed drainage improvements. f-Q The protect will not interfere with groundwater management practices m the area as the site is not used for groundwater recharge. aalemmny Slgnlficeni I1I100q X666 Information Sources ortin nd Su I Pge,°~eny unles6 Th°^ g pp ssues a $I~ificanl Mng6aon Significant No I d I aied I q 1 q 5.

O O O (~) ~, ~ 33 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2002-00929 Page 9 Comments• a) The proposed development of eight attached office buildings on a currently vacant site will increase pollutant levels dunng construction and protect operations. The cntena pollutants screened for included: reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM~o). Air quality impacts caused dunng protect development are discussed in the Construction Emissions section, and long-term operational impacts are discussed in the Operations Emissions section Construction Emissions Dunng grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) would be generated. Since there are existing industnal and office developments surrounding the protect site, and since the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM~o), fugitive dust generated dunng construction would be mitigated by the following measures: 1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agents (approved by Southern California Air t]uality Management District and Regional Water Quality Control Board) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with Southern California Air Quality Management District Rule 403. 2. Utica 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. 3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes. 4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by Southern California Air Quality Management District and 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. Dunng construction, exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and egwpment, and fugitive dust generated by egwpment traveling over exposed surfaces, would increase NO, and PM~o levels in the area. The following mitigation measures would ensure impacts to existing development are at less than significant levels 5. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on low emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel • powered equipment where feasible. B,C3`~ Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 7. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. The proposed protect was screened using the Urban Emission Model 2001 (URBEMIS2001) prepared by Jones & Stokes under the gwdance of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control Distract, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control Distract, and the South Coast Air Quality Management Distract (SCAOMD). The program generates emissions estimates for land use development protects. Though not regwred, construction emissions are screened and quantrfied to document the effectiveness of control measures. Table 1 shows construction emission results before and after the mitigation measures have been implemented.

Based on the URBEMIS2001 results for the proposed protect, the protect would generate approximately 810 trips per day, which should not create a signrficant increase to traffic and congestion m the area. The protect site is located southwest of the Utica Avenue and Arrow Highway intersection, within an mdustnal zoned area of the City. Access to the site would be provided from Utica Avenue located directly east of the site. Arrow Highway is located within close proximity to the north, and provides a mator thoroughfare within the City. The protect would include two separate driveways onto the site, one on the northeast, and the other near the southeast portion of the site. The driveways would traverse the outside perimeter of the proposed mdustnal bwldings through the parking area. b) The proposed protect would include direct access to and from Utica Avenue located directly east of the site Two separate driveways would provide access to the site. one on the northeast, the other on the southeast portion of the site These driveways would be interconnected traversing through the proposed parking areas on the outside of the buildings No hazardous curves or dangerous intersections are anticipated from the proposed protect design. c) The proposed protect would not interfere with access to nearby uses and would provide sufficient emergency access on the site The driveways leading from Utica Avenue would be a minimum of 26 feet wide, allowing adequate space for emergency vehicles access This driveway would continue through the parking area around the perimeter of the proposed bwldmgs d) The proposed development would provide sufficent parking capacity on the site. According to the Part 2 -Protect Summary Table completed for the protect, the protect would regwre a total of 203 parking spaces on the site, and a total of 208 spaces would be provided with the development No impacts regarding insufficient parking are anticipated with the proposed development P~,C~3~' Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 13 e-f) The proposed prolect would involve development of eight office buildings on a currently vacant lot within an industrial zoned area of the City. According to Figure III-13 of the City's General Plan, no regional or multi-purpose trails pass adjacent to the prolect site The nearest multi-purpose trail is located along the Day Creek Channel west of the prolect site. The proposed prolect should not create any impacts to pedestrians or bicyclists that exist in the area, nor would it impact alternative transportation pollees in the area. g) The prolect site is located approximately 2 4 miles north of Ontario Airport, offset north of the flight path and will not be adversely affected by airport actvities. sgnmcem a Issues and Supporting Information Sources. an~e~ ~ Spmfwent Mitpetlan $ipniflcaM No i n loco epee i a i a 7.

This lot is likely to be developed m the future. According to Figure IV-3 of the City's General Plan, the site is located within the Delhi Sods Area Boundary, considered a Sensitive Biological Resource area within the City. The Habitat Suitability Evaluation for the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (Ecological Sciences, November 2002) indicated that the prolect site has previously been disturbed with existing vegetation consisting almost entirely of non-native species. The site has been disked multiple times in the past for fire abatement, and the site appears to have been used historically for agricultural purposes Piles of soils, concrete, and other debris are scattered throughout portions of the site Developed or disturbed areas surround the site in all directions. The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (DSF) report indicated that the site is not suitable for supporting an extant DSF population due to the historic agricultural uses and the reoccurring disking activities in the past Previous disturbance has also resulted in the growth of mainly non-native species, and the site is located within an area that P~, C 3$ Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 14 is developed or disturbed in all directions. Results of the survey also indicated that no DSF species were observed or recorded during the survey. The report concluded based on the aforementioned reasons that the site does not contain habitat suitable to support or sustain a wable DSF population, and the occurrence potential for DSF is therefore considered low on the site. Development of the proposed prolect would not create any impacts to endangered or threatened species or any locally designated communities or species. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. f`` `_J e) The prolect site is currently surrounded the north, where a vacant lot currently the north beyond the adjacent vacant eliminated any wildlife corridors that m unlikely to exist m the future The prof migration corridors by development m all exists.

Similar developments surround the prolect m all directions except to the north, where a vacant lot is currently located The prolect applicant and any future tenants would be required to abide to all applicable local, State, and federal regulations mandating the use and storage of hazardous substances and other mdustnal related materials on the site No signficant impacts related to hazardous substances or the creation of health hazards are anticipated with development of the prolect. b) The proposed prolect is located lust west of Utica Avenue, south of Arrow Route within an mdustnal zoned area. The site is currently vacant, and is surrounded by similar developments m all directions except to the north, where a vacant lot currently exists. Two separate access driveway would lead onto the site directly from Utica Avenue. The proposed development would not interfere with any existing emergency evacuation plans that may exist m the area. e) The site is currently vacant with small amounts of grass and small species located throughout. According to the Uniform Application Form completed for the prolect, approximately 17 percent of the site would be designated for landscaping. Landscaping would consist of various species of trees located throughout the parking areas, and surrounding the proposed office buildings Landscaping would also be included within the proposed courtyard towards the center of the site between the two rows of bwldmgs Additional trees and turf areas would exist along the eastern site boundary along the sidewalk and adjacent to Utica Avenue.

A Public Protection Classification (PPC) is assigned on a scale of one to ten. Class one represents the best public protection, and Class ten indicates less than the minimum recognized protection. The factors that are being used in the PPC rating are based on Alarm and Dispatch (10%), Training (9%), Personnel (15%), Egwpment (26%), and Water supply (40%) Each rC ~~ Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 Fire Distract is evaluated every five years and reported to insurance companies to assess the premiums they charge for property insurance; the better the community's PPC grade, the lower the property insurance premums for the area. According to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Construction Services, the City is currently rated Class three. The closest fire station m proximity to the protect site is located near the intersection of Milliken Avenue and Jersey Boulevard (Station No. 174), located within one-mde southeast of the site. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Distract provides fire protection and emergency medical response services. The proposed professional office development would remain an allowable land for the site according to the City's General Plan. The proposed development would generate between approximately 200-250 employees The City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Distract indicates that for every 1,000 citizens an average of 0.27 firefighters are on-duty (per a conversation with John Thomas, City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Construction Services/Plan Check Manager, January 2003) According to the ISO, a class three rating m California is m the upper 15% of the entire state. Under existing conditions the City Fire Distract would be able to provide adequate fire protection for the proposed protect. Police protection -The City of Ranch Cucamonga contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBSD) and currently has 96 uniformed officers assigned to the City. With an estimated population of 137,000 people, the ratio of officers to citizens is approximately 0.70 per 1,000 residents (per a conversation with Dan Waters, Crime Analyst assigned to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, January 2003). The average response time to an emergency call for service is approximately four minutes; and response times are evaluated on a monthly basis. The Sheriffs Department reviews annually response times, and the ratio of officers to the City's population to determine if more officers are needed to maintain the response time below five minutes. Schools -The protect site is located within the Cucamonga School Distract, which serves the southwest portion of Rancho Cucamonga The distract currently includes two elementary schools and one funior high with a maximum capacity of 2,260 students. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within the Chaffey Joint Unified School District Capacity for the high schools is estimated at 15,485, but total enrollment was tabulated at 19,567 during the year 2001 Portable classrooms are used to alleviate overcrowding problems. Funding is the root of the problem and is being addressed by City and school officals currently requesting State and federal funding One method of meeting the community's needs for schools are school impact fees The fees currently are $1.93 per square foot for residential construction and $ 0.31 per square foot for commercal and industrial developments. The developer would be required to pay these fees prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. Parks -The proposed industrial development should not generate a substantial increase to the number of new employees m the area, and therefore is unlikely to create a significant demand for additional park faclities m the area. The protect site is located in an industrial zoned area, and according to Figure III-10 of the City's General Plan, only two neighborhood parks are located within cone-mde radius of the protect site Impact fees are collected at the time of budding permit issuance P,,c4a Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 18 The new industrial development would therefore not cause a significant impact to existing parks. Public facilities -The City of Rancho Cucamonga staves to maintain apro-active approach to facility maintenance The long-term goals of the City include laying underground conduit within the commercial and industrial portions of the city to provide fiber optic connections for high-speed communications and data links. Protect proponents will be required to pay fair-share fees in order to mamtam City facilities and roads to levels acceptable to the City itself and the citizenry Ppenlwey Irtbeq Laa Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~~~~~ Unieu TMN Sipnlecen~ Mnyetlon SlgiMwn No I n I lee i cc I a 12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies or substantial alterations to the following utd~t~es: a) Power or natural gasp () () (~) ( ) b) Communication systems? () () (~) ( ) c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution () () (~) ( ) facilities? d) Sewer or septic tanks () () (~) ( ) e) Storm water drainage? () () (~) ( ) f) Solid waste disposals () () (~) ( ) g) Local or regional water supplies? () () (~) ( ) Comments: a) Power -The City of Rancho Cucamonga is services by Southern California Edison (SCE), which provides electricity generated by several different sources, including hydroelectric, oil, natural gas, and solar or wind power Most of the City's energy consumption is in the form of heating and cooling, communications, illumination of buildings, and the transportation of people or goods Estimates of future demand for electricity show the City of Rancho Cucamonga would require a 117 percent increase in the amount of electricity currently supplied to the City. To meet these expanding needs, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has designed a variety of measures to support the extension of electrical infrastructure into future developments and to decrease the reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Developers are required to fund improvements for infrastructure elements associated with their proposed development and are required to pay fair share fees for improvements in and around proposed protects In concert with developer fees, the City of Rancho Cucamonga promotes programs to increase energy efficiency, reduce operational energy requirements, and design VtG~`~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2002-00929 Page 19 i energy efficiency into proposed plans. Other goals for energy efficiency include the development of infrastructure for the use of alternatroe fuels, and implementation of efficient technology for industrial businesses. Natural Gas -Southern California Gas Company (the Gas Company) supplies natural gas and services to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The Gas Company is subtect to California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulations, in addition to actions by federal regulatory agencies that could create impacts to natural gas services/supplies within the City According to the City General Plan EIR, the demand for natural gas within the City is approximately 40 7 million therms per year. The anticipated increased demand by 2020 would be approximately 32.9 million therms per year, resulting in an increase of 81 percent. The Gas Company supplies natural gas regionally, and has indicated their ability to expand existing facilities in order to meet the City's growing demands. Additionally, City of Rancho Cucamonga supplies the Gas Company with information regarding population protections and helps coordinate any expansions to ensure adequate gas supplies are available to the City. b) The City regwres that communications facilities be continuously installed to support the increased number of faalities being developed. Underground placement of communications systems is encouraged where it is technically feasible and service quality can be maintained. According to the City's General Plan, communications facilities have increased significantly over the past few years, and should continue to expand with growing need for such services. The City is using "stealth design" techniques, which involves camouflaging the placement of antennas, to preserve the City's aesthetic value. Additionally, the City has adopted a Wireless Communication Ordinance to manage the physical appearance of the communications equipment within the City. The protect would be regwred to abide by all applicable City standards and ordinances regarding communications systems, and therefore no significant communications impacts are anticipated with project development c/d/g)The Cucamonga County Water Distract (CCWD) provides water treatment, storage, and distribution of domestic water to Rancho Cucamonga and portions of the cities of Ontario and Fontana, and a tract in Upland. The current daily water usage in the CCWD service area is 41.7 million gallons per day (mgd) Residential water use amounts to about 60 percent of the total water consumed Landscaping (public and private) is the next largest consumer of water at 20 percent. Under Senate Bill 610 (SB 610), Water Supply Assessments are regwred for protects that exceed the following sizes. 1) residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; 2) shipping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet; 3) commercial office buildings employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet; 4) hotel or motel having more than 500 rooms; 5) industrial, manufacturing, processing plant, or industrial park housing more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or havng more than 650,000 square feet; 6) mixed use protect including one or more of the protects specified above; 7) any other protect that would demand an amount of water egwvalent to or greater than the amount of water regwred by a 500 dwelling unit protect, and 8) any protect that accounts for an al C ~TT • Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 20 increase of 10 percent or more In the number of existing service connections for a public water system. Under SB 221 a Water Supply Assessment Is required when: 1) a project that Is a residential development of more than 500 dwelling units, 2) a prolect that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more In the number of existing service connections for a public water system; and 3) applies to development agreements that include such subdivision. The City Is required to determine If a prolect Is subject to the requirements listed above. If the City determines that a project meets one of the requirements, then a request for a project specific Water Supply Assessment must be submitted to the CCWD The CCWD has 90 days to prepare a detailed Water Supply Assessment for the project. The Assessment requires CCWD Board of Directors approval. r1 LJ The proposed project would include the construction/operation of eight office bwidings totaling 52,614 square feet and Is estimated to employ approximately 200 to 250 employees Based on the proposed use and size, the project does not fall under the requirements of SB 610 and SB 221, and therefore would not require a Water Supply Assessment. The CCWD has an adopted master plan that estimated water demand and supply needs until the year 2030. The CCWD Is responsible for collecting developer fees for the construction and operation of water and wastewater facilities. Proposed water usage and sewer flows would be In accordance with what was determined at the time of the General Plan adoption, and Is not considered signrflcant. e) The project would increase demand upon storm dram systems due to the additional runoff from new hard-scape and rooftops proposed. The development would include a drainage system onsite channeling storm water flow towards the southeast portion of the site and ultimately connecting to existing drainage system along the adjacent street A Final Drainage Plan Is required by the City Engineer to address projected storm flows. Implementation of the approved plan would make this impact less than signrflcant f) Solid waste services are currently supplied by the City's contracted hauler and transported to the Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill In the City of Rialto. San Bernardino County of Public Works, Waste System Division operates the landfill. According to the General Plan EIR, the City generates approximately 270 tons of solid waste per day The EIR indicates that the City would generate an Increase of approximately 236 tons per day by 2020, which accounts for an 87 percent Increase over the existing generated soled waste The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works, Waste System Division does not foresee any significant Impacts resulting from this Increase since landfills within the County would be expanded to meet the growing demands within the area 11 PgeMaly Sgnifirant Issues and Supporting Information Sources Paeme~y i~~ Sptufiranl Mhi9a0on Sipruficent No 1 cl Inm IeE I d I p 13.

The proposed buildings are architecturally designed with colored stucco and accent colors with trim around the wall of the buildings Windows would exist throughout the building walls The proposed industrial development is consistent with the surrounding land uses and creates no unusual aesthetic impacts in the area. c) The protect would create new light sources, as the site is currently undeveloped. The site is currently surrounded by similar developments in all directions, except to the north where a vacant lot currently exists. This adtacent lot is likely to be developed in the future. The new light and glare caused by the proposed protect would not create signrficant impacts to the area since there are no sensitive receptors (residents) present in close proximity of the site.

V ~ G y-~o • • Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 22 According to a localities database search conducted by the San Bernardino County Museum in February 2000, no paleontological resources have been recorded from the area that is within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the sphere-of-influence. The Historic Preservation Commission recommends resource classifications to the City Council for areas classrfied as either a landmark or point of interest. Pursuant to Section 2.24.090 of the Historic Preservation Ordinance adopted in March 1988, these criteria are considered by the Historic Preservation Commission when determining a resources' significance for the following categories. 1) Landmarks of Historical and Cultural Signrficance; 2) Landmarks of Architectural and Engineering Significance; and 3) Landmarks of Neighborhood and Geographical Significance. According to a record search conducted by the Archeological Information Center at the San Bernardino County Museum on March 6, 2000, 139-acre specific survey reports and five general area overviews are on file for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Based on review of the findings, the City published Historical Landmarks and Points of Interest, which include a detailed listing of cultural resources designated as landmarks and points of interest. The protect site was not listed in the publication Additionally, the site has not been identified in the City's Master Environmental Assessment as containing historic or cultural resources. No impacts to cultural resources are anticipated with development of the proposed protect. ~._.I aao~c~any so~mcem Issues and Supporting Information Sources .n ~ a ~ ~, w ie u an s em ~ i a u,w yea i n i a 15. RECREATION. Would the proposal a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or () () (~) ( ) regional parks or other recreational facilities b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? () () () (~) Comments• a-b) The proposed protect would include development of a courtyard located toward the center of the site between the two rows of buildings Pre-cast tables and benches would be located in three separate areas of the courtyard to provide employees with eating/break areas. Various recreational facilities are available within the City. According to the General Plan EIR, the City has approximately 261 acres of developed parks (excluding trails) Neighborhood parks range in size from 0.5-10 acres, while community parks generally range from 12-44 acres in size The regional and community trail system within the City includes an additional 246 acres of recreational lands Approximately 150 acres of proposed recreational lands exist within the City that have not yet been developed Residents within the City also have limited use of school faalities for various recreational activities and sports leagues through agreements between the certain school districts and surrounding communities. BtC4T Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 23 The City's current goal regarding parks involves designating 5 acres of parkland for every one thousand residents Based on this goal, the City is currently experiencing a defiaency of approximately 118 9 acres of developed parkland The City currently collects three acres of parkland or in-lieu fees for every residential subdivision of 1,000 residences. Some additional sources of funding for parklands include general fund revenues, developer impact fees, State and federal grants, user group contributions, school district toint use contributions, concessions, and encouraging large residential protects to incorporate private recreational facilities beyond the City's requirements. The General Plan EIR indicates the City estimates development of approximately 232 acres of recreational facilities (parks, special use faalities) by 2020, in addition to the currently designated 150 acres of designated area intended for recreational purposes, but not yet developed These areas, when combined with the existing recreational faalities within the City, would total 891 acres Based on the General Plans population protections for 2020, the City would require a total of 781 acres of parkland to meet the City's parkland goat. The proposed protect would generate between approximately 200 to 250 employees, and would be regwred to pay recreational impact fees and/or designate area for parklands. With the General Plan's protection for parklands exceeding demand, the protect would not significantly impact recreational facilities within the City Poteri0elly Signdirant a ` Issues and Supporting Information Sources raanreoy u,~ rw, s~~ficam Murom~o„ sb,ueom r+o i a inco e~eo i a i ea 16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. 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 mator 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 beef, defindnre period of time Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.)

Comments• a) The protect site is currently vacant and has previously been graded Development surrounds the protect site m all directions except to the north, where a vacant lot is currently located Arrow Route is located further to the north beyond this adtacent vacant lot According to the DSF report completed for the protect, the site is not suitable to support or sustain a viable DSF population due to the previous disturbance on the sde and the surrounding development. The site is mainly vegetated by non-native plant species, and development of the protect would not create any impacts to the endangered, threatened, and locally designated speaes that may exist m the area. Existing development surrounding the site have limited the potential for the site develop into a sensitive biological resource area Development of the protect would not create any significant impacts to the wildlife speces or degrade the quality of the environment. b) The Initial Study identifies short-term impacts to air quality with development of the protect Although the proposed protect does not exceed the established SCAOMD threshold levels for any of the pollutants screened during construction, minimal short-term impacts would occur during the development phase of the protect. Since the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM~o), implementation of the air quality mitigation measures presented m this Initial Study would reduce short-term impacts to less than significant levels. As indicated in Table 2 of the URBEMIS2001 model m Section 6, the protect causes no potentially significant long-term air quality impacts to the area. c) The proposed protect is consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan that was adopted along with the certification of a Program EIR, Fmdmgs of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Consideration for signficant adverse environmental effects of build out m the City and sphere of influence The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result m 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 P~,C~"~ Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 25 adopted statements of overriding consideration balanang the benefits of development under the General Plan update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelmes Section 15092 and 15096(h). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that wdl 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 required. d) The proposed professional office complex would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. • ~ ~~ 50 Initial Study for DRC2002-00929 EARLIER ANALYSES City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 26 Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed m an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

Site Characteristics The subject site has been rough graded and is primarily surrounded by vacant land, rough-graded subdivisions and single-family residences To the east are single-family homes and single-family homes under construction. The site is located at the northeast corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Wilson Avenue. The site slopes to the south and no unique physical characteristics are evident on the site. ANALYSIS: A. Background: In June 1991, the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors approved the University/Crest Planned Development in the City's Etiwanda North area. The University/Crest Planned Development entitlements combined two separately owned properties with 1,238 single-family lots, commercial, school, park, and open space. On October 26, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved a revision to the Development Plan, which among other things separated the University (Rancho Etiwanda) portion of the development from the Crest (Rancho Etiwanda Estates) portion. B. General. The current proposal is for a subdivision only, no home plans are yet provided The minimum lot size proposed is 10,000 square feet. The protect exceeds the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development requirement for a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet Street °B° will exceed 600 feet in length; therefore, fire sprinklers are required for all residences. To the north of the cul-de-sac terminus of Street "B" is a secondary access to the Cucamonga County Water District treatment facility C Design Review Committee: The Design Rewew Committee (Tolstoy, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the project on December 17, 2002, and recommended approval of the protect (Exhibit °D") D Grading Review Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the protect begrnning on December 17, 2002 and several other times over the past couple of months After the engineering issues were resolved, the Committee recommended approval of the protect subfect to conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval. E. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Rewew Committee reviewed the project on December 17, 2002. The Committee recommended approval of the protect subiect to conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval F. Environmental Assessment. In June 1991, the San Bernardino Board of Supervisors certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No 88082915) for the University/Crest Planned Development The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a Master EIR has been certified, no further EIR or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Master EIR On October 26, 1999, the City of Rancho Cucamonga certified a supplement to the EIR (State Clearinghouse No 98121091) because of a revision to the Development Plan, which among other things separated the Unversity (Rancho Etiwanda) portion of the protect from the Crest (Rancho Etiwanda Estates) portion The subject tract falls within the . Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development. In August 1999, the City of Rancho Cucamonga prepared an Addendum to address issues assoaated with the adoption of the Rancho Etiwanda Development Agreement The Addendum identified no substantial changes in the project that would require a major revision to the previous EIR. In accordance with Mitigation Measure No. 101 from the Master EIR and supplement to the EIR, a noise study ~a PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT15982 -RANCHO ETIWANDA 685, LLC . April 9, 2003 Page 3 was completed to determine the impact of traffic noise from Day Creek Boulevard. The study recommends constructing a sound wall up to 8.5 feet high along the perimeter of certain lots to mitigate sound levels. A Minor Exception will be required for any walls between 6 and 8 feet high, and a Variance will be regwred for any walls over 8 feet high A second sound study using the SOUND 32 model was completed by Mestre Greve Assocates (October 15, 2002) Consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga's protocol, the SOUND 32 study was evaluated by an independent third party, Marlund Hale, P E., and Ph.D. Mr. Hale's evaluation concurred with the sound analysis and the corresponding sound wall mitigation measures recommended by Mestre Greve Associates Sound walls, in accordance with the sound study's height recommendations, have been included in the protest's Conditions of Approval. The protect will be regwred to implement all pertinent mitigation measures adopted in the Master Environmental Impact Report for the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development as covered by the Environmental Impact Report and Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, as certified by the County of San Bernardino, and Initial Study/Addendum as certified by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Staff is of the opirnon that no further environmental review is necessary because the protect is consistent with the approved Development Agreement for Rancho Etiwanda and within the protect scope of the above-cited, prior Environmental Assessments. CORRESPONDENCE• This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners within a 300-foot radws of the protect site.

Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or zonings () () () (~) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or () () () (~) policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the prolect c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the () () () (~) vianity? d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an () () () (~) established community Comments- a) The site exists within an area currently zoned as Low Residential (2-4 DU/acre), in accordance with the Development Code, Chapter 17 08 Residential Districts, Low Residential District (L). The prolect is a subdivision for developing fifteen (15) single-family detached residential units on a currently vacant 3 92-acre site. The prolect would involve an extension of Berkshire Avenue south to provide access to all the proposed residences. During construction, the prolect would increase the noise level onsite. Once construction is complete, the prolect would generate minimal noise and would not create any signficant impacts to the surrounding community, as the project would be similar to the surrounding land uses Section 10 -Noise discusses the noise level impacts caused by the prolect. The prolect would generate increased emissions in the area during construction and project operations. Section 5 -Air Quality discusses the emissions generated by the prolect, analysis of impacts, and proposed mitigation measures to reduce any impacts. The prolect would remain consistent with the General Plan's land use designation for the area. b) Although the proposed prolect would impact the environment onsite, developments currently surround the prolect site in all directions. The Alta Loma Flood Channel passes directly west of the prolect site, traversing in a north/south direction. The proposed prolect should not create any conflicts with environmental plans or policies in the area as the site is surrounded by development and is consistent with the City's General Plan. c) The prolect would involve a subdivision for development of fifteen (15) single-family residences on a currently vacant 3.92-acre site zoned for residential land uses. .C 3 l Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 Single-family residential developments currently exist directly east, north, and to the west beyond the Alta Loma Flood Channel. To the south is a church that offers a day care facility and Kindergarten school. The protect would not create any impacts and would be compatible with the existing land uses in the area. d) The protect site is currently vacant and the proposed development would not disrupt or divide any existing communities in the surrounding area. The protect could be considered an "in-fill" protect since it would involve adding additional residences on a vacant lot within a generally residential area.

The Red Hill Fault Study Zone, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, which is not a Holocene fault, passes within approximately 0 7 mile southeast of the sde. The Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 1.7 miles north of the site Both these faults are capable of producing a moment magnitude (Mw) 6.0 - 7 0 earthquakes. The San Jacinto Fauft Zone, capable of producing up to M„, 6.7 earthquakes, passes approximately 10.9 miles east of the site. The San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 7.4 earthquakes, passes approximately 11.8 miles to the northeast. These faults discussed are capable of producing intense ground shaking on the subtect site Adhenng to the Unrform Budding Code would ensure that geologic impacts are less than signrficant. 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 Liquefaction is unlikely based on the depth to ground water in the area which ranges from approximately 400 to 450 feet. In addition, the protect site is not within the Red Hill Fault liquefaction area as identrfied in the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan EIR (October 2001). Adhenng to the City grading standards, and the Unrform Budding Code, would ensure that geologic impacts are less than signrficant. d) The site is not located near a body of water According to Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan, the site is not within a 100-year flood plain The nearest 100-year flood hazard inundation area exists along the San Bernardino County Flood Control District -Alta Loma Flood Channel located directly west of the protect site traversing in a north/south direction A 100-year flood hazard inundation area exists southeast of the site along Haven Avenue south of I-210. The protect is not located in a seiche hazard zone. ~J e-f) The site is located in a relatively flat area and the proposed development should not create any impacts with regard to landslides and mudflows in the area. The protect site currently slopes towards the southwest, with a change in elevation of 22 feet from the north portion of the site to the southwest corner of the site ~ 33 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 6 The topography would be altered to accommodate the protect since the site is currently vacant. Grading would be done m accordance with a grading plan approved by the City Engineer. g-h) According to Exhibit V-3 of the City's General Plan, the sod type found onsite is the Hanford Sandy Loam. These sods consist of well drained, nearly level to strongly sloping sods that formed m recent granitic alluvwm on valley floors and alluvial fans. These sods are characterized as moderately rapid permeability, with slow runoff, and a slight hazard for erosion. However, dunng grading the developer would be required to implement Best Management Practices for erosion control. Section 4 below discusses erosion control to be implemented dunng construction of the protect. The proposed development would be requred to meet the current earthquake standards as required by the Unrform Building Code This sod type is swtable for development. The currently vacant site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

The protect would involve the extension of Berkshire Avenue further to the south providing access to all the proposed residences. The street extension would include a drainage system along the street, and a catch basin would be located near the south portion of the cul-de-sac. The catch basin would connect to the Alta Loma drainage channel located directly west of the site. The State of California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity that causes the disturbance of one acre or more. The General Construction permit requires recipients to reduce or eliminate non-storm water discharges into storm water systems, and to develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region has issued an area-wide NPDES Storm Water Permit for the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, and the incorporated cities of San Bernardino County within the Santa Ana Region. The City of Rancho Cucamonga then requires implementation of measures for a protect to comply with the area-wide permit ~~ Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 8 requirements The SWPPP would include Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction of the prolect to pollute surface waters This is a standard condition of approval applicable to this prolect. 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 dunng the rainy season. The following mitigation measure would be implemented to ensure impacts from water runoff and erosion is less than significant: 1. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the applicant shall prepare a SWPPP that identifies BMPs to be implemented during the period the site is under construction. BMPs shall be identified on the grading plans for review and approval by the City Engineer. A final grading plan would be prepared in accordance with City standards to show how storm water runoff would be handled both dunng construction and post- construction. Approval of grading plans and conditions applied to the prolect by the City Engineer to ensure adequate site drainage and adherence to BMPs identified in the SWPPP would make this impact less than significant. b) The prolect would not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the site is not used for groundwater recharge. g-i) Based on Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan, the prolect site is outside of the 100-year flood plain. The nearest 100-year flood hazard inundation area exists along the San Bernardino County Flood Control Distract -Alta Loma Flood Channel located directly west of the prolect site traversing in a north/south direction. A 100-year flood hazard inundation area also exists southeast of the site, along Haven Avenue, south of I-210. The proposed prolect would include development of an onsite drainage system to handle storm water generated by the prolect Onsite storm water would ultimately be discharged into the Alta Loma Flood Channel. The prolect should not expose people or property to any flooding hazards. /) No tsunamis/seiche hazards are anticipated since the prolect is not located near any large water bodies. The site is located within a relatively flat area and is mainly surrounded be development in all directions. No significant mudflow hazards are anticipated with development of the proposed prolect. paenneny Sipnificenl Issues and Supporting Information Sources paemlelly Impact unless Lass Then Sgnificent MiNpetbn Sgnifirant No I ed In reteE I ed I q 5.

A residence exists lust northeast of the protect site on an adtacent lot, lust south of Lemon Avenue, causing the irregular shape of the protect area along the eastern portion. The criteria pollutants screened for included reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates (PM,a). Air quality impacts caused during protect development are discussed in the Construction Emissions section, and long-term operational impacts are discussed in the Operations Emissions section . Construction Emissions Generally, construction of a protect this size would not exceed SCAOMD thresholds during grading activities for PM,o and NOx. During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) would be generated Residential developments exist to the north, east, and west of the protect site. A church, with day care facility and Kindergarten, and vacant lots borders the site to the south The site would create a minimal impact to air quality during construction, with the greatest emissions being released from the construction vehicles onsite. These emissions would remain below the established threshold levels. The proposed protect was screened using the Urban Emission Model 2001 (URBEMIS2001) prepared by Jones & Stokes under the guidance of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) The program generates emissions estimates for the proposed land use development protect Though not required, construction emissions are screened and quantified to document the effectiveness of control measures. Table 1 shows construction emission results before and after the mitigation measures have been implemented. ~~ Irntial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 10 Table 1 URBEMIS2001 Construction Emissions Summary (Pounds oer Dav) Source ROG NO^ CO PM~o Unmet.

The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agents (approved by SCAOMD and RWOCB) daily to reduce PM~o emissions, in accordance with SCAOMD Rule 403. 3. Lemon Avenue and Berkshire 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. 4. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes. 5. 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 PM,o emissions. During construction, exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and egwpment and fugitive dust generated by equipment traveling over exposed surfaces, would increase NO, and PM,o levels in the area The following mitigation measures would ensure impacts to existing residential development are at less than significant levels. • • 6. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on low emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 7. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. ~ 3g Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 11 8. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. Operational Emissions The proposed subdivision would be developed in accordance with the City's designated land use for the site, and would remain consistent with the existing residential community surrounding the site. Air emissions would most likely come from vehicles traveling to and from the protect site, which would occur mainly dunng the morning and evening commuter hours as residence travel to and from their workplace. The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 6'" edition values programmed into the URBEMIS2001 model. In order to reflect the residential nature of the proposed project, the default fleet mix was modified to reflect the vehicle use that would most likely be associated with the residential development. In addition, these emissions are based on the estimated winter season, when household heating would be used more frequently causing an increase to the emissions generated on the site. Emissions assocated with these vehicle taps are listed in Table 2. Table 2 Operations Emissions Pounds er Da Source ROG NO^ CO PM,a Unmet Met Unmet. Mit. Unmet. Mit. Unmet.

Air quality impacts dunng construction would occur, but would remain below the established threshold levels. Operational air quality impacts would be similar to those in the immediate surrounding area, as the protect would be constructed for the same land use. The proposed protect would not create any significant av quality impacts to sensitive receptors in the area. c-d) The development of fifteen (15) single-family residential lots on a currently vacant 3.92-acre site would not create any climatic changes or objectionable odors.

These taps would occur throughout the day, with the greatest number most likely occurnng during the morning and evening hours as residents travel to and from their workplace. The protect site is located lust south of Lemon Avenue, which would provide direct access to the site. The protect would involve the extension of Berkshire Avenue further to the south, which would connect directly with Lemon Avenue. The site is also located in close proximity to Archibald Avenue located to the west, and Hermosa Avenue located to the east, both of which are larger thoroughfares within the City. The protect proponent would be required to construct the necessary street improvements and as contained in the conditions of approval for the protect, pay traffic impact fees as estattlished by the City Council to offset the incremental increase in traffic as a result of the protect. Development of the protect would not create a significant impact to traffic or traffic congestion in the area since the protect would not generate significant amounts of vehicle taps in the area b) Lemon Avenue would connect with Berkshire Avenue to provide access to the site. These two streets would connect by a 'T-shaped" intersection, allowing vehicles to turn from either direction on these streets. The protect would involve extending Berkshire Avenue further south to allow direct and primary access to each of the proposed residences. No dangerous curves or intersection would result with development of the protect. I~ i y0 Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 13 c) Adequate emergency access would be provided to the site with a minimal width of approximately 31 feet on Berkshire Avenue, which would provide direct access to each of the proposed lots on the site. d) The single-family subdivision consisting of fifteen lots would require a total of 30 parking spaces onsite. According to the Residential Protect Summary Table completed for the protect, the protect would provide a total of 30 spaces, therefore meeting the regwred allocated parking for the development. e-f) The subdivsion would not create any hazards or barriers to pedestrians or bicyclists in the area. The project site is located within a residential area, with an existing sidewalk located along Lemon Avenue. Berkshire Avenue would also include a sidewalk along the proposed street extension. According to Exhibit III-7 of the City's General Plan, the nearest bike route to the site is located to the east along Archibald Avenue, and another located along 19'" Street south of the site (Class 2 trails). The protect would not conflict with any alternative transportation policies in the area. g) The protect site is located approximately 5 '/a miles north of Ontario Airport, offset north of the flight path The development should not be dangerous to the residence onsite or Ontario International Airport aircraft. agemely spiaricant Imlmq Lela Issues and Supporting Information Sources: rgenl~ally unle:a rnen Sp~uficent Mlt~lwn Signdmenl Na Im q Intro etetl I q I aq 7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

Trees currently exist throughout the site, mainly concentrated along the eastern and western portions on the site Development currently surrounds the site in all directions, with residential communities located to the east, to the north beyond Lemon Avenue, and to the west beyond the flood control channel A church, with day care facility and Kindergarten school, and some additional vacant lots exist ~yl Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 south of the project site. The protect would be considered an °in-fill" protect to existing residential developments in the area. The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on Figure IV-3, City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. No sensitive biological communities would likely exist on the site in the future with the existing developments surrounding the site. b-c) Trees currently exist throughout the protect site. An arborist report was completed for this protect entitled, Preliminary Arboriculture Report (Knapp Associates, December 2002) that discusses the trees and their condition on the site. There are a total of 16 trees onsite that qualify as heritage trees under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance: two roadside Blue Gum eucalyptus trees and fourteen Coast Live Oak trees. The eucalyptus trees have experienced signficant root and canopy intury, and are unlikely to survive with any further intury. Many of the existing oak trees have been damaged by sod fill, and mechanical trunk and root crown intury. The site has been graded and treated with weed abatement for many years in the past. The arborist report recommends the replacement of most of the trees onsite due to their poor condition. Due to the high cost of relocating any existing healthy oak trees, and the low long-term survival rate of the trees, the arborist report recommends planting new trees onsite with protect development. No significant impacts to locally designated species or communities would result with protect development due to the previous disturbance that has occurred on the site. The following mitigation measure would be incorporated to mitigate for the loss of existing trees onsite: 9. Any existing heritage trees (as identified in the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance) that currently exist onsite and would be removed during project construction will be replaced in areas designated for landscaping or open areas onsite at a ratio of 1 to 1. These trees shall be planted in a manner that best ensures their long-term survival. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site e) The surrounding development has eliminated any wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past Development surrounds the site in all directions, with the Alta Loma Flood Channel located directly west of the site. No impacts are expected with development of the protect.

Most of the City's energy consumption takes the form of heating and cooling, communications, illumination of buildings, and the transportation of people or goods. Estimates of the future demand for electnaty show the City of Rancho Cucamonga will require a 117% increase in the amount of electnaty currently supplied to the City • To meet these expanding needs, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has designed a variety of measures to support the extension of electrical infrastructure into future developments and to decrease the reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Developers are regwred to fund improvements for infrastructure elements associated with their proposed development and are required to pay fair share fees for improvements in and around proposed projects In concert with developer fees, the City of Rancho Cucamonga promotes programs to increase energy efficiency, reduce operational energy requirements, and design energy efficiency into proposed plans Other goals for energy efficiency include the development of infrastructure for the use of alternative fuels, and implementation of efficient technology for industrial businesses. The proposed protect would not impact SCE's or the City's ability to provide long- term electrical energy supplies and would be regwred to comply with the City's energy conservation programs. c) The protect site is located on the Day Creek alluvial fan, an area classified as a Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ-2). An MRZ-2 zone contains deposits of known value and marketability. However, the State Geologist has determined that the area is not a Designated Area of available resources due to urbanization The protect does not have the potential to impact a mineral resource that would be of future value to the region or the State t ~~ Initial Study for SUBTT16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 16 PotenlNry S~piMCe~n Issues and Supporting Information Sources: sa a Uryatl Lps ~ ~r ar Mum ~ No 1 tl I IeE I tl I tl 9.

No hazardous substances should be stored onsite other than household cleaning products and the subdivision would not create any risks associated with hazardous material explosion or substance release since it would be developed into a residential tract. The proposed development would not create any potential health hazard for the future residents on the property or the surrounding community. b) The proposed development should not interfere with any existing emergency response or evacuation plan. Access to the site would be provided from Berkshire Avenue, which would extend through the center of the site and connect with Lemon Avenue located to the north. Berkshire Avenue would form a cul-de-sac near the south portion of the site, ending lust north of the residences at the south portion of the site. The prolect would cause no interference to the existing roads or emergency accesses in the area. e) The proposed development involves removing existing onsite vegetation. The site is currently vegetated with trees and other vegetation Landscaping would be placed onsite and maintained in accordance with the City's landscaping requirements as specified in the General Plan and Development Code. The proposed residential prolect would not create any impacts with regards to flammable vegetation onsite.

The protect would involve a fifteen (15)-lot subdivision, which would be used to construct one single-family residence on each lot The construction phase of the proposed protect would most likely generate the greatest noise level impacts, which should remain insignificant. Residences surround the site to the east, north, and west beyond the drainage channel. An existing church, with day care facility and Kindergarten school, and some vacant areas borders the site to the south. The protect would be consistent with the General Plan's land use designation for the site and the surrounding land uses During construction, the contractor would adhere to applicable City Noise Ordinance requirements regarding hours for construction. No significant noise level impacts would result with development of the protect. u b) The proposed protect would ultimately result in the development of fifteen (15) residences on a currently vacant 3.92-acre site within a residbntially zoned area.

() () (~) ( ) e) Other governmental services? () () () (~) Comments• a-e) Fire Protection -The Insurance Services Office, Inc (ISO) collects information on a community's public fire protection and analyzes the data using their Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) A Public Protection Classification (PPC) is assigned on a scale of one to ten. Class one represents the best public protection, r- Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 18 and Class ten indicates less than the minimum recognized protection The factors that are being used in the PPC rating are based on Alarm and Dispatch (10%), Training (9%), Personnel (15%), Equipment (26%), and Water supply (40%). Each Fire District is evaluated every five years and reported to insurance companies to assess the premwms they charge for property insurance; the better the community's PPC grade, the lower the property insurance premiums for the area. According to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Construction Services, the City is currently rated Class three. The proposed protect site is located in a high probability, low consequence fire risk area according to the General Plan. The nearest fire station in proximity to the protect site is located west of the Archibald Avenue and 19"' Street intersection (Station No. 171), within 3/a -mde southwest of the site. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Distract provides fire protection and emergency medical response services. Development of the proposed frfteen residences would not generate a significant amount of new people to the area. The City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire District indicates that for every 1,000 atizens an average of 0.27 firefighters are on-duty (per a conversation with John Thomas, City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Construction Services/Plan Check Manager, January 2003). According to the ISO, a class three rating in California is in the upper 15% of the entire state. Under existing conditions the City Fire Distract would be able to provide adequate fire protection for the proposed protect Police protection -The City of Ranch Cucamonga contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBSD) and currently has 96 uniformed officers assigned to the City. With an estimated population of 137,000 people, the ratio of officers to residence is approximately 0 70 per 1,000 (per a conversation with Dan Waters, Crame Analyst assigned to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, January 2003). The average response time to an emergency call for service is approximately four minutes; and response times are evaluated on a monthly basis. The Sheriffs Department reviews annually response times, and the ratio of officers to the City's population to determine if more officers are needed to maintain the response time below five minutes. Schools -The protect site is located within the Alta Loma School District, which serves the northwest portion of Rancho Cucamonga. The Alta Loma School District contains eight elementary schools and two tumor highs, with a total capacity of 5,182 students. High schools in the City are provided by the Chaffey Joint Undied School Distract. Capaaty for the high schools is estimated at 15,485; but total enrollment was tabulated at 19,567 during the year 2001. Portable classrooms are used to alleviate overcrowding problems Funding is the root of the problem and is being addressed by City and school officials currently requesting State and federal funding One method of meeting the community's needs for schools are school impact fees The fees currently are $1 93 per square foot for residential construction and $ 0 31 per square foot for commercial and industrial developments. The developer would be required to pay these fees prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy Parks -The proposed residential protect would not generate a significant increase in the number of residence living in the area, and would therefore not have a significant impact on the park factlities in the area The protect site is located in an r~ C_.I G ~~ Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 ~ J City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 19 residentially zoned area, and according to Figure III-10 of the City's General Plan, and existing neighborhood park exists within 3/a-mile southeast of the site, and a community park and neighborhood park are proposed for development northeast of the site The new residential development would therefore not cause any signrficant impacts to existing parks. Public facilities -The City of Rancho Cucamonga staves to maintain apro-active approach to facility maintenance. The long-term goals of the City include laying underground condwt within the commercial and industrial portions of the city to provide fiber optic connections for high-speed communications and data links.

Most of the City's energy consumption is in the form of heating and cooling, communications, illumination of buildings, and the transportation of people or goods. Estimates of future demand for electricity show the City of Rancho Cucamonga would require a 117 percent increase in the amount of electricity currently supplied to the City. To meet these expanding needs, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has designed a variety of measures to support the extension of electrical infrastructure into future . developments and to decrease the reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Developers are required to fund improvements for infrastructure elements associated with their proposed development and are required to pay fair share fees for improvements in and around proposed protects. ~~7 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 20 In concert with developer fees, the City of Rancho Cucamonga promotes programs to increase energy efficiency, reduce operational energy requirements, and incorporate energy efficiency into the design plans. Other goals for energy effiaency include the development of infrastructure for the use of alternatroe fuels, and implementation of efficient technology for mdustnal businesses. Natural Gas -Southern California Gas Company (the Gas Company) supplies natural gas and services to the City of Rancho Cucamonga The Gas Company is subtect to California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulations, in addition to actions by federal regulatory agencies that could create impacts to natural gas services/supplies within the City According to the City General Plan EIR, the demand for natural gas within the City is approximately 40.7 million therms per year. The anticipated increased demand by 2020 would be approximately 32.9 million therms per year,.resulting in an increase of 81 percent. The Gas Company supplies natural gas regionally, and has indicated their ability to expand existing faalities in order to meet the City's growing demands Additionally, City of Rancho Cucamonga supplies the Gas Company with information regarding population protections and helps coordinate any expansions to ensure adequate gas supplies are available to the City. b) The City requires that communications facilities be continuously installed to support the increased number of facilities being developed Underground placement of communications systems is encouraged where il is technically feasible and service • quality can be maintained. According to the City's General Plan, communications facilities have increased significantly over the past few years, and should continue to expand with growing need for such services. The City is using "stealth design" techniques, which involves camouflaging the placement of antennas, to preserve the City's aesthetic value. Additionally, the City has adopted a Wireless Communication Ordinance to manage the physical appearance of the communications equipment within the City. The protect would be regwred to abide by all applicable City standards and ordinances regarding communications systems, and therefore no significant communications impacts are anticipated with protect development. Gd/g)The Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD) provides water treatment, storage, and distribution of domestic water to Rancho Cucamonga and portions of the cities of Ontario and Fontana, and a tract in Upland. The current daily water usage in the CCWD service area is 41 7 million gallons per day (mgd). Residential water use amounts to about 60 percent of the total water consumed. Landscaping (public and private) is the next largest consumer of water at 20 percent Under Senate Bill 610 (SB 610), Water Supply Assessments are regwred for protects that exceed the following sizes 1) residential development of more than 500 dwelling units, 2) shipping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet; 3) commercial office buildings employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet, 4) hotel or motel having more than 500 rooms, 5) mdustnal, manufacturing, . processing plant, or mdustnal park housing more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet; 6) mixed use protect including one or more of the protects specified above; 7) any other protect ~yg Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 21 that would demand an amount of water equivalent to or greater than the amount of water required by a 500 dwelling umt protect, and 8) any protect that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of existing service connections for a public water system. Under SB 221 a Water Supply Assessment is required when: 1) a protect that is a residential development of more than 500 dwelling units, 2) a protect that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of existing service connections for a public water system; and 3) applies to development agreements that include such subdivision. The City is required to determine if a protect is subject to the requirements listed above. If the City determines that a project meets one of the requirements, then a request for a protect specific Water Supply Assessment must be submitted to the CCWD. The CCWD has 90 days to prepare a detailed Water Supply Assessment for the protect. The Assessment requires CCWD Board of Directors approval. The proposed protect would involve the subdivision of fifteen lots, which would be developed with single-family residences on each lot The proposed protect would be constructed in a residentially zoned area with existing residences adjacent the site. Based on the proposed use and size, the protect does not fall under the requirements of SB 610 and SB 221, and therefore would not require a Water Supply Assessment The CCWD has an adopted master plan that estimated water demand and supply needs until the year 2030. The CCWD is responsible for . collecting developer fees for the construction and operation of water and wastewater faalities. Proposed water usage and sewer flows would be in accordance with what was determined at the time of the General Plan adoption, and is not considered signrficant. e) The protect would increase demand upon storm dram systems due to the additional runoff from new hardscape and rooftops proposed. The development would include a drainage system onsite channeling storm water flow towards the southwest portion of the site where it would connect with the Alta Loma Drainage Channel located directly west of the site. Final Drainage Plan is regwred by the City Engineer to address protected storm flows Implementation of the approved plan would make this impact less than significant. f) Solid waste services are currently supplied by the City's contracted hauler and transported to the Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill in the City of Rialto. San Bernardino County of Public Works, Waste System Division operates the landfill. According to the General Plan EIR, the City generates approximately 270 tons of solid waste per day. The EIR indicates that the City would generate an increase of approximately 236 tons per day by 2020, which accounts for an 87 percent increase over the existing generated solid waste. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works, Waste System Division does not foresee any significant impacts resulting from this increase since landfills within the County would be expanded to meet the growing demands within the area. ~ yq Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 22 PalenWYy sremrrem Issues and Supporting Information Sources I'ot~tmur ~n~ Sign~ficonl A4lgeoon Sigufiunl No I p I teO I p I d 13.

The prolect site, and the surrounding area are zoned for residential land uses. Archibald Avenue, which is located west of the site, is designated as a Special Boulevard within the City. Additionally, 19"' Street is within a City designated view corridor south of the site. The proposed residences that would eventually be developed onsite would remain consistent with the surrounding residences and would need to be consistent with the City's Development Code Standards, and should therefore not create any significant aesthetical impacts. c) The prolect would create new light sources, as the site is currently undeveloped. The proposed light generated by the prolect would be similar to the existing light sources of the surrounding residences Additionally, the prolect would include development of block wall and fences around the lots that would reduce light impacts off site.

() () () (~) d) Have the potential to cause a physical change, () () () (~) which would affect unique ethnic cultural values e) Restrict existing religious or sacred uses within () () () (~) the potential impact area ~J ~~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 23 • Comments• a-e) The Rancho Cucamonga area is underlain by sheared and deformed, high-grade metamorphic rocks and unconsolidated Quaternary sediments. The metamorphics, which have no paleontologic potential, occur in the northern area of relatively high relief. In the southern area, they are covered by alluvium derived from the erosion of the San Gabriel Mountains. Most alluvial deposits are non-fossiliferous, rendering these sediments with low potential for containing paleontologic resources. According to a localities database search conducted by the San Bernardino County Museum in February 2000, no paleontological resources have been recorded from the area that is within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the sphere-of-influence. The Historic Preservation Commission recommends resource classifications to the City Council for areas classified as either a landmark or point of interest. Pursuant to Section 2.24.090 of the Historic Preservation Ordinance adopted in March 1988, these criteria are considered by the Historic Preservation Commission when determining a resources' significance for the following categories. 1) Landmarks of Historical and Cultural Significance; 2) Landmarks of Architectural and Engineering Significance; and 3) Landmarks of Neighborhood and Geographical Significance According to a record search conducted by the Archeological Information Center at the San Bernardino County Museum on March 6, 2000, 139-acre specific survey reports and five general area overviews are on file for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Based on review of the findings, the City published Historical Landmarks and Points of Interest, which include a detailed listing of cultural resources designated as landmarks and points of interest. The protect site was not listed in the publication. Additionally, the site has not been identified in the City's Master Environmental Assessment as containing historic or cultural resources. No impacts to cultural resources are anticipated with development of the proposed protect. paenmoy Sgnlficent Impel Lees Issues and Supporting Information Sources paentmuy unless rose Spndiceni Mitigetlon SIP,Ificant No 1 a Ingo ted I a I a 15. RECREATION. Would the proposal• a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or () () (~) ( ) regional parks or other recreational facilities b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? () () () (~) Comments- a-b) The proposed protect would generate additional people living in the area with development of fifteen residences on the currently vacant site. A neighborhood park is currently located southeast of the site within 3/a-mile, and according to the City's General Plan an additional neighborhood park and community park are planned for development northeast of the site. ,C~) Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 24 Various recreational facilities are available within the City. According to the General Plan EIR, the City has approximately 261 acres of developed parks (excluding trails). Neighborhood parks range in size from 0 5-10 acres, while community parks generally range from 12-44 acres in size. The regional and community trail system within the City includes an additional 248 acres of recreational lands. Approximately 150 acres of proposed recreational lands exist within the City that have not yet been developed. Residents within the City also have limited use of school facilities for various recreational activities and sports leagues through agreements between the certain school districts and surrounding communities. The City's current goal regarding parks involves designating 5 acres of parkland for every one thousand residents. Based on this goal, the City is currently experiencing a deficiency of approximately 118.9 acres of developed parkland. The City currently collects three acres of parkland or in-lieu fees for every residential subdivision of 1,000 residences Some additional sources of funding for parklands include general fund revenues, developer impact fees, State and federal grants, user group contributions, school district toint use contributions, concessions, and encouraging large residential protects to incorporate private recreational facilities beyond the City's requirements. The General Plan EIR indicates the City estimates development of approximately 232 acres of recreational facilities (parks, special use facilities) by 2020, in addition to the currently designated 150 acres of designated area intended for recreational purposes, but not yet developed. These areas, when combined with the existing recreational facilities within the City, would total 891 acres. Based on the General Plans population protections for 2020, the City would require a total of 781 acres of parkland to meet the City's parkland goal. The protect would involve the subdivision of fifteen lots to develop singe-family residences, and would be regwred to pay recreational impact fees and/or designate area for parklands. With the General Plan's protection for parklands exceeding demand, the protect would not significantly impact recreational facilities within the City. vm~cmiy Srynifimnl Issues and Supporting Information Sources: rw~~e~n u^~ ~ Si9^~rant AUbgeban Sl~~fxent No i n ~nco cea i n i 16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. 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 mator periods of California history or prehistory • C~ L ~~ Initial Study for SUBTT 16431 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 25 a~~~ s~~~ Impaq Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources• Pa~nlbly wla~ roan SI~IIflC9n1 AGbpatian Spnficanl No I h Into atetl 1 d I q b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential () () (~) ( ) to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-tens 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 protects, the effects of other current protects, and the effects of probable future protects.) 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 proposed protect would involve a residential subdivision of frfteen lots for single-family residences on the currently vacant lot. Existing residential units are located to the east, north, and to the west beyond the existing flood control channel. A church, with day care and Kindergarten school, and some vacant area borders the site directly to the south The site is currently vegetated mainly with insignificant amounts of grass, shrub, and tree species According to the arbonst report completed for the proposed protect, many of the existing trees onsite (several eucalyptus and oak trees) are in poor condition and not recommended for preservation. The arborist report recommends replanting new trees on the site with development of the proposed protect. No significant impacts to vegetation of wildlife communities in the area would result with development of the proposed protect The site is not designated as an historic area and development of the site would not impact the cultural resources within the city. b) The Initial Study identifies short-term impacts to air quality with development of the protect However, these short-term impacts would occur due to proposed construction activities and do not exceed established thresholds Implementation of the air quality mitigation measures presented in Section 5 of this Initial Study would reduce short-term impacts to less than significant levels during the construction phase of the protect. . As indicated in Table 2 of the URBEMIS20o1 model in Section 6, the project causes no potentially significant long-term air quality impacts to the area. The protect would remain consistent with the residential land uses in the surrounding area Abiding to ~' sl3 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 26 the proposed mitigation measures further reduces any air quality impacts caused by the protect. 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 Overnding Consideration for signrficant adverse environmental effects of build out m the City and sphere of influence. The City made fmdmgs that adoption of the General Plan would result m signrficant 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 signrficant levels. As such, the City adopted statements of overnding consideration balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan update against the signrficant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines 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. Wrth these fmdmgs and statements of overriding consideration, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulatnre impacts is required. d) The proposed residential development would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The protect would result m impacts to the environment, but these impacts are considered minimal. r- ~~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT 16431 Page 27 EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

Barbara Watson, Planning Alde SUBJECT: VARIANCE DRC2003-00126 - SHIPPS/APODACA - A request to reduce the required lot width for a corner lot from 70 to 60 feet In the Low Residential Dlstnct (2-4 dwelling unds per acre), located at 8368 Arrow Route - APN. 0207-182-14. Related Flle: Lot-Line Adjustment SUBLLA 540 ANALYSIS: A. Backoround. The applicants, property owners of 8368 and 8380 Arrow Route, are requesting a Variance to reduce the required corner lot width from 70 to 60 feet at 8368 Arrow Route. The reason for the Variance is that a block wall constructed in 1965 for the easterly adjacent property (8380 Arrow Route), encroached 5 feet into the protect site (8368 Arrow Route). According to the applicants, in 1965 when the property of 8380 Arrow was sold, the realtor in charge was supposed to have handled the legalities of moving the lot Ilne. Recently, the current owners checked with county records and found no record of the Lot Line Adfustment B Slte Characteristics and Surroundino Land Use: The project site is a corner property The lot dimensions are 65 by 130 feet with a lot size of approximately 8,450 square feet, and contains asingle-family residence. Lots surrounding the project site are In the same zoning district and the predominant lot dimensions are 60 by 135 feet. C Code Compliance• According to the Development Code, Table 17 08 0406 the required minimum corner lot width for the Low Residential District is 70 feet Currently, the protect site has a width of 65 feet. With the Variance request, the lot width for this corner lot will be reduced from 70 to 60 feet. Except for the corner lot width, all other development standards such as lot depth, lot coverage, lot size and setbacks are still in compliance with current codes . FACTS FOR FINDINGS• The purpose of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict application of development standards when special circumstances pertaining to the property such as size, shape, topography, or location deprive a property of privileges enjoyed by other ITEM F PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00126 - SHIPPS/APODADA April 9, 2003 Page 2 properties in the vicinity and in the same distract. In considering a request for a Vanance, there are findings under State Law that must be substantiated by fact in order to approve the request The following are facts to support the findings: A. That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. Because the wall has existed between the two properties since1965, demolishing the wall and reconstructing it along the current property line would result in unnecessary physical hardship for the two properties. B. That 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 distract. The wall was bwlt in 1965, which encroached 5 feet into 8368 Arrow Route This situation is unique and does not generally apply to other properties in the same distract The Varance and Lot Line Adjustment will update the records of what already exists in physical form. C That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprave the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone. The predominant lot width in the adjacent neighborhoods is 60 feet The strict interpretation or enforcement of the lot width would deprave the applicant of privileges enjoyed by owners of adjacent properties. D. That the granting of the Vanance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same distract The predominant lot width in the adjacent neighborhoods is 60 feet The granting of this Variance would not constitute a granting of specal privilege inconsistent with the properties in the surrounding area. E. That 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 vianity. This reduction of lot width will not negatively affect nearby properties or improvements nor will it negatively affect the public health, safety or welfare CORRESPONDENCE.

In 1965, Edith Shipps' parenffi, Bernard and Belvia Bateman, agreed to gNe 5 feet of their property (207-182-14) on the east aide to the owners of the property (207-182-13), Bradley and Gloria Ness. In exchange, the Nesses agreed to construct and pay for a block wall separating the two properties at the new property Ime The reattor who sold the property to the Nesses, Ray Ferguson, was to handle the legalities tt was presumed that he did. Just recently, we the present owners (Apodacas and Edith Shipps), checked with County Records for information on the transfer of property. No record of the transfer was found We have contracted wdh Goodman S Assoaates, evil engineers, to assist us m obtaining a lot Ime adjustment to legally record the agreement that was made in 1965. We understand that the sty ~s concerned with our request due to the "new" lot widths. Although we understand the sty's concerns, we respectfully request that the sty reconsider our request based on the following factors' 1 The Verbal Agreement that was made m 1985 2 The ensuing thirty-eight years of usage of the property as d is 3 The mutual agreement by both present owners for the Lot Lme Adjustment CJ In Gosmg, we want to thank you m advance for reconsidenng our request and know that we can find a solution that rs agreeable to the property owners and the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

The existing block wall, driveway and landscape improvements were completed on the basis of this verbal agreement which took place before Rancho Cucamonga became a City. There are no proposed alterations to any of the existing improvements nor is there a need for any. All existing setbacks will remain the same. Existing lot widths in the immediate adjacent neighborhoods vary from as small as 45' up to about 65', with many being 60' or smaller. Based on the above, there is not an issue of compatibility with surrounding development, for these lots are consistent with the variations that currently exist. The application is simply to make the "paper" dimensions match the actual dimensions on the properties GOODMAN 8 ASSOCIATES _~ Dou as L G dman u~ Z 2079 Sky View Drive • Colton, Ca 92324 • (909) 824-2775 • FAX (909) 824-2807 email • dougQa goodman-assoc.com RESOLUTION NO 03-63 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE NO DRC2003-00126, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED LOT WIDTH FOR A CORNER LOT FROM 70 TO 60 FEET IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, LOCATED AT 8368 ARROW ROUTE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN. 0207-182-14 A Recitals 1.

BACKGROUND The Clty Counal approved the master plan for the Vlctona Gardens Regional Center In February of 2002, and entered Into a development agreement with the developer The development agreement and master plan established a wide array of specialized development critena for the regional center necessary to accommodate the unique nature of the development At that time it was unknown how high parking lot and on site street light poles would need to be The Planning Commission approved the development review for the first phase of the Victoria Gardens Regional Center on November 13, 2002 The developer had proposed parking lot and Internal pnvate street light standards as high as 30 feet This Is in excess of the 15-foot height limitation established by the Development Code and therefore this aspect of the protect was not approved Finally, on March 26, 2003, the developer brought the matter of light pole height back before the Commisslon for discussion The Commission agreed that Increased light pole height In certain key areas would be acceptable. REQUEST The developer proposes that all parking lots around the perimeter of the mall well have parking lot light standards of 30 feet In height and that pnvate street lights around the penmeter of the site range in height from 27 feet down to 15 feet The central "core" of the mall, where pedestrian activity Is strongest (including the two parking "enclaves" south of North Main Street to the east and west of the Town Green) will have very decorative 15-foot high lights The Intent Is to establish a visual hierarchy of Ilght pole heights to clearly delineate the perimeter or edge of the site and then transition down to the lower 15-foot standards for the core of the protect This is similar to the effect of ringing the perimeter with tall palm trees The hierarchy would also follow the progression of the site entry experience from vehicular to pedestnan The • developer Intends to ornament the light poles with banners and perhaps the Victoria Gardens logo for visual interest and parking IoUstreet identification ITEM G PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT DA01-02 -FOREST CITY DEVELOPMENT Apnl 9, 2003 • Page 2 At the March 26, 2003, meeting, the Planning Commission expressed concern for the potential glare impact upon multi-family residences planned along the northern edge of the regional center and the single-family homes planned north of Church Street Thirty-foot high parking lot light poles in the northeastern quadrant of the regional center (in the vienity of the cinema) indeed could cause substantial glare and visual intrusion for these residential areas The applicant agreed to work with staff towards minimizing glare and visual impact from lighting in this vienity upon the residential development to the north. An additional concern is excessive tree pruning The City's existing 15-foot height limd for parking lot light poles was developed in the 1980s to cause the light source to be set below the level of tree canopies thereby allaying the need for tree pruning to let suffiaent light upon the ground surface Use of 30-foot high light poles may regwre specialized additional lighting such as illuminated bollards or other lower light sources to sufficiently light the parking and street areas. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. The Development Agreement does not include speealized standards for light pole heights and therefore current Development Code requirements prevail The following text (in bold) is recommended to be added to the existing Development Agreement to allow higher light poles• SECTION III PROJECT DEVELOPMENT B Rules, Regulations and Offieal Pollees "4. "Height Limits for Parking Lot Light Poles. As an exception to the Applicable Rules as specified in this Agreement, parking lot light poles (standards) may be constructed to the following overall heights as measured from the bottom of the pedestal or pole base to the top of the light box: (1) To an overall height of 30 feet in parking lot areas not otherwise specified in this Section 111.6.4. (2) To an overall height of 27 feet along the private entrance streets designated on Exhibit "61" attached hereto leading into parking lot areas from public roadways (along entrance magazines). (3) To an overall height of 15 feet within parking areas north of North Main Street, unless a greater height is agreed to between the Office of the City Planner and Developer, which height shall maintain the human scale of the lights in those areas and minimize glare and visual disturbance to the multi-family development planned on the south side of Church Street and the single-family development planned on the north side of Church Street. Decorative features such as finials may exceed the height limits specified in this paragraph (B)(4), subject to review and approval of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review Committee. • ~~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT DA01-02 -FOREST CITY DEVELOPMENT April 9, 2003 Page 3 If Developer finds that tree pruning is necessary to allow sufficient light to be cast upon the ground surface in any area, the pruning shall be carried out in a manner that does not leave the tree in an unnatural or severe appearance inconsistent with normal horticultural practices and landscaping requirements pursuant to the Master Plan and Applicable Rules. Examples of pruning inconsistent with this requirement include shearing and undertrimming; but crown thinning, cleaning and raising are acceptable as normal horticultural practices." Environmental Assessment: On February 20, 2002, the City Council adopted a Protect Environmental Impact Report as environmental clearance for the various agreements and entitlements associated with the Victoria Gardens Regional Center. The current Development Agreement Amendment is consistent with the scope of work and type of development analyzed by the protect Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Furthermore, there have been no changes in the arcumstances surrounding the protect nor has new information surfaced to indicate that the protect will have substantial environmental impacts beyond those discussed m the EIR The Development Code establishes clear performance standards for lighting in commeraal areas to ensure compatibility.

Coury, Assoaate Planner SUBJECT: VARIANCE DRC2003-00256 - NORTHTOWN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - A request to reduce the required corner side yard setback from 27 to 13 feet and to increase the wall height up to 10 feet for sound attenuation along the south, east, and west property boundary to allow for the construction of asingle-family residence in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) within the Northtown area for property located at the southwest comer of Main Street and Hermosa Avenue - APN: 0209-085-i6. Related Fdes: Development Review DRC2002-00951 and Variance DRC2002-00950. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A Project Backaround• Northtown Housing Development Corporation will develop the fourth phase of their affordable in-fill housing program which consists of 9single-family homes. The subject parcel is one of these homes. Phase 4 was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on March 12, 2003 The proposed variance is to allow for the development of a single-family residence B Site Characteristics: The subject parcel is located adjoining the Metrolink railroad. The site is currently vacant and has vegetation of varying types such as shrubs and grasses. The lot is relatively flat with a slight grade from north to south. ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required comer side yard setback from 27 feet to 13 feet. Additionally, the applicant requests an increase in wall height up to 10 feet for sound attenuation along the south, east, and west property lines A Side Yard Setback. The parcel's corner side yard frontage is Hermosa Avenue. The Development Code requires corner side yard setbacks at a minimum of 27 feet as measured from curb face The applicant proposes a setback of 13 feet (requesting a reduction of 14 feet) The parcel is a legal lot of record. The parcel is 49 98 feet wide, which is 20 feet narrower than the required 70-foot requred for corner lots in the Low Residential District It is this great degree of non-conformity that results in the need for a variance. The lot is further constrained by access limitations along Hermosa Avenue; hence, the preferred driveway access is from Main Street Minimum driveway width dictates the positioning of any home on this lot. The Development Code requires a minimum 5-foot interior side yard setback, however, the driveway location necessitates a 12-foot setback To impose the required ITEM H PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2003-00256 - NORTHTOWN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION April 9, 2003 Page 2 setback on the idenYrfied tot would place an unnecessary hardship on the property, regwnng a very narrow and difficult budding footprint width of 17 98 feet for development (Exhibit °B°). Research and a field survey indicates that many of the lots in the area, particularly on the south side of Feron Boulevard, have a variety of standard and substandard lot sizes, lot widths, and side yard setbacks. As a single story home, the proposed reduction m setback would not create a large budding mass along the street. The proposed development would be consistent with the immediate area. B. Increased Wall Height: The site is subject to excessive noise from the Metrolmk railroad tracks located to the south. A noise study (Gordon Bracken & Associates -February 13, 2003) was prepared for the project that recommends a sound wall up to 10 feet m height along the south, east and west property boundary as mitigation. Since the Cdy's maximum permitted wall height is 6 feet, the Variance application is necessary. Staff is of the opinion that the location of the sde adjacent to the Metrolmk railroad track and the resultant need for noise mitigation justifies issuance of the requested variance. Exposure of the site to excessive railroad track noise constdutes an exceptional arcumstance, as the vast majority of land within the Low Residential Distract is not exposed to such excessive noise These areas can be developed m conformance with the allowed density range without sacnfiang substantial land area to mitigate noise. The increased wall height will not be detrimental to public health and safety or materially injurious to surrounding property. The intent is to prowde necessary noise mitigation for the future residents, and to prowde a safe and enjoyable liwng space. The applicant is proposing to develop a portion of Phase 4 of the Northtown Housing Development Corporation affordable housing m-fill program. The requested variance enables development consistent with the goal of the project, to construct affordable single-family homes to prowde needed housing m the commurnty. Approval of the variance would neither grant special pnwleges nor be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare to properties or improvements m the same wcmity or zone. Strict compliance with the subject development cntena would pose an unnecessary hardship for the applicant, thereby denying him the ability to develop affordable housing for the commurnty. CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Vallev Dailv Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners within a 300-foot radws of the project site.

Comments• a) The proposed protect was designed m accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code, Chapter 17.30 Industnal Distracts, guidelines for development m Subarea 14 Currently the northern portion of the site contains an existing 150,020 square foot warehouse faelity for the Heritage Bag Company (constructed m 1996) The Hentage Bag Company is proposing an additional 128,594 square foot warehouse on the southern portion of the site, which currently contains a grape vineyard and an existing drive from Fourth Street to the northern portion of the site. The proposed addtion would be connected to the existing warehouse by a 243-foot long by 23-foot wide corzidor (approximately 6,062 square feet). The proposed protect also includes the addition of railroad spur track to the existing rail spur onsite b) Although the proposed protect would alter the environment onsite, the site has been previously graded and is currently surrounded by development No conflicts with any applicable environmental plans or pollees would result with development of the protect because the site is zoned for urban uses and is surrounded be development. CJ c) The site is zoned General Industnal and allows for manufacturing and warehousing activities The proposed addition would be compatible with existing land uses within the wenity as the area is designated General Industnal and is surrounded by industrial development d) The site is located within an Industnal developed area including warehousing and manufacturing facilities, therefore the protect would not resuR in a physical division of an established community. z°a3 Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 4 ~~r Issues and Supporting Information Sources. vm.~mur u SlPtlficant Wtlpatlon 9pNOrant NO I b I I 2.

Gg) According to the General Plan EIR, there are three types of ground failure that could occur within the City. liquefaction, differential compaction, and subsidence . Liquefaction occurs when loose saturated cohesion-less sods are subtect to ground shaking during an earthquake of large magnitude Additionally, liquefaction may occur when the water table is less than 40 feet below ground surface Based on ground water depths within the area (an average of 400 to 500 feet below ground surface, the potential for liquefaction within the project area is unlikely In adddion, Figure 5 1-2 of the General Plan EIR ident~es only a few isolated areas in the City where liquefaction could occur. These areas are logted in the southwest portion of the City near Red Hdl Differential Compaction is the tenn used to describe areas prone to different rates of surface settling, with or Hnthout seismic shaking, which are underlain by sediments that differ laterally in composition or degree of existing compaction The General Plan EIR identfied the former marsh areas of Red Hill as the only area within the City limits that is likely subject to this potential hazard. Subsidence is a general lowering of elevation that may result from withdrawal of fluids from the ground or movement in the earth's crust Widespread subsidence, on the order of one to two feet, due to groundwater withdrawal has been predicted for the southern part of the City However, there are no known indications that this is occumng, and since the protect site is located along the eastern boundary of the City, it is not expected to be subject to subsidence d) A seiche is an oscillation of water in a lake, reservoir or other water body The protect site is not located near a body of water Therefore development of the site would 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) According to the General Plan EIR, the only portions of the City that are subtect to potential landslides or slope failure are in the northwest corner of the City and the foothills north of the City limits These areas have some slopes steeper than z~as Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 6 25 percent, and include Red Hdl, the bluffs along upper Cucamonga Creek, and the foothills at the north edge of the City The possibility of a landslide in one of the canyons resulting in a damaging mudflow is remote because thick soils have not accumulated in the canyons The project site is not subject to landslides or mudflows as it occurs within the eastern portion of the Cdy, in an area that is relatively flat f/h) Soil type onsite and in the vicinity is Delhi Sands. These sods are excessively- drained, nearly level to strongly sloping sods formed on alluvial fans incoarse- textured, wind-re-worked granitic matenal. Runoff is very slow, and hazard of sod blowing is generally moderate. This sods type is adequate for development and should create no signficant impacts to the proposed project The site contains no unique geologic or physical features. r 1 L_J vaeetleuy SIpiYB®nt Irryea Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources Paentlefir ureese 7nan SIp,Yfi®nl Mltlpetlon SlpYll®nt No i a i tee I a I a 4.

The General Construction permit requires recipients to reduce or eliminate non-storm water discharges into storm water systems, and to develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWOCB), Santa Ana Region has issued an area-wide NPDES Storm Water Permit for the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, and the incorporated cities of San Bernardino County within the Santa Ana Region The City of Rancho Cucamonga then requires implementation of measures for a project to comply with the area-wide permit requirements The SWPPP would include Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction of the protect to pollute surface waters This is a standard . condition of approval applicable to this protect Best Management Practices 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 dunng the rainy season ~~/ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2002-00921 Page 8 • The following mitigation measure would be implemented to ensure impacts from water runoff and erosion are less than significant 1. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the applicant shall identify Best Management Practices to be implemented during the period the site is under construction. Best Management Practices shall be identified on the grading plans for review and approval by the City Engineer. A final grading plan would be prepared in accordance with City standards and show how storm water runoff would be handled both dunng construction and post- construction Approval of grading plans and conditions applied to the prolect by the City Engineer to ensure adequate site drainage and adherence to Best Management Practices identified in the SWPPP would make this impact less than signficent b) The prolect would not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the site is not used for groundwater recharge d/g )The proposed prolect is the addition to an existing warehouse. The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain, nor is it located near a large body of water or along a hillside Therefore impacts from a flood, seiche, tsunami or mudflow are not anticipated. e) As a standard condition of prolect approval, the applicant must prepare a preliminary drainage study showing how stormwater runoff would be conveyed A final report must be submitted pnor to issuance of grading permits or final map recordation Potentlelly SIp,IflfB,H Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~+~r ~ $igrvfie3nl Mitl~tlan 9gNfirant No I d In tetl 1 I 5.

The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board) daily to reduce PM,a emissions, in accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 403. 3. Santa Anita Avenue and Fourth Street 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. 4. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes. ~a9 Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 5. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by South Coast Air Quality Management District 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. 6. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on low emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment would be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications. 7. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 8. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews would shut off equipment when not in use. As shown in Table 2, additional operations actiwties at the site would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds. Using the ITE Tnp Generation Manual 6'" edition values, the URBEMIS 2001 model estimates vehicle trips associated with a designated land use. The proposed protect includes a 134,656 square foot addition to an existing 150,020 square-foot warehouse on a 17-acre site. The ITE associates a trip rate for specific land uses and their size. Based on the combined square footages of the existing 150,020 square foot warehouse and the proposed 134,656 square foot warehouse, the protect would have a trip rate of 4.91 taps per 1,000 square feet. Based on the existing and proposed square footage, the protect would generate approximately 1,398 taps per day.

The prolect site is located within the southem-central portion of the City. According to Exhibit IV-3 "Sensitive Biological Resources," the only sensitive/endangered species of concern within this area is the Delhi Sands Flower-loving fly The site is within the Ontario 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. In November 2002, URS Corporation performed a Habitat Assessment for the southem-most portion (nine acres) of the site Based on descriptions of DSFLF occupied habitat, the species requires open areas with sod comprised of Delhi series sands and certain plant species According to the survey, the site does not exhibit these characteristics Although Delhi Series sands are found onsite, the soil surtace is either paved or developed with an active vineyard that receives mechanical and chemical disturbances (e g foot traffic, herbicides, and pestiades) The survey site also lacks the necessary "open" space and vegetation typically associated with DSFLF habitat In addition, the survey site is completely surrounding on all sides by industrial buildings, isolating the site from open space i LJ Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 Cary of Rancho Cucamonga Page 13 Therefore, based on the lack of necessary habitat as well as isolation from potential DSFLF habitats, the likelihood of this site supporting the DSFLF is very low b-c) The southern-most portion of the site proposed for expansion includes an existing vineyard Existing trees along the southern and eastern border will remain in place The proposed landscape plan includes additional trees within the new parking lot and within the slope area between the existing and proposed budding d) There is no npanan or wetland habitat on-site. e) Industnal development in the vicinity of the site has eliminated any wildlife comdors that may have occurred in the past. • Pammuy sl~fi®m Impaa Lwa Issues and Supporting Information Sources aan,uauy uolm m~~ $1QlYfifBlll INOpatlm S~gNfiamt No I a I ua I a I a 8.

(ISO) collects information on a community's public fire protection and analyzes the data using their Fve Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) They then assign a Public Protection Classification (PPC) on a scale from one to ten Class one represents the best public protection, and Class ten indicates less than the minimum recognized protection. Each Fire District is evaluated every fwe years and is reported to insurance companies as a factor in setting the premwms they charge for property insurance, the better the community's PPC grade, the lower the premwms for property insurance. According to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Construction Services, the City is rated a Class Three According to the ISO, a class three rating in California is in the upper 15 percent of the entire state. The protect site is located at 12320 4th Street and is served by Fire Station #174, located 1 5 miles northwest of the site. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District provides fire protection and emergency medical response services The proposed addition would require approximately four new employees. The City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire District indicates that for every 1,000 atizens an average of 0.27 firefighters are on-duty (conversation with John Thomas, City of Rancho Cucamonga Fire Construction Serv~ces/Plan Check Manager, January 2003] The proposed addition would have a minimum impact on the City's current ratio of firefighters to citizens Under existing conditions, the City Fire District would be able to provide adequate fire protection for the proposed addition and the impact would be less than significant ~-1 ~_J b) Police Protection -The City of Ranch Cucamonga contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBSD) and currently has 96 uniformed officers assigned to the City With an estimated population of 137,000 people, the ratio of officers to atizens is approximately 0 70 per 1,000 residents (conversation Z'35 Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 16 wdh Dan Waters, Cnme Analyst assigned to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, January 2003) The average response time to an emergency call for service is approximately four minutes, response times are evaluated on a monthly basis The Sherrffs Department rewews annually response times, and the ratio of officers to the City's population to determine if more officers are needed to keep the response time below five minutes The proposed project's addition of four new employees would not result in a demand for additional officers to maintain the City's current level of service. The impact is considered less than signrficant c) Schools - The proposed project would require an additional four full-time employees. These employees would not have a sign cant impact on schools as they will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. d) Public faalities -The proposed project would generate additional truck traffic in the vianity The applicant of this project would pay afair-share of the cost of local road improvements, through the City's Transportation Development Fee eaemm~y s~nm,t Issues and Supporting Information Sources valen0a0y u~ess mien Slpnfimnt Mitlpetlan SlpMfioent No ~ C In tea ~ C ~ d 12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies or substantial alterations to the following utdd~es: a) Power or natural gas?

Additionally, City of Rancho Cucamonga supplies The Gas Company with information regarding population protections and helps coordinate any expansions to ensure adequate gas supplies are available to the City. The proposed protect's impacts to natural gas supplies are considered less than sign'rficant. b) The proposed project includes a 134,656 square-foot addition to an existing 150, 070 square foot industrial bulding. The proposed protect will utilize existing communication systems at the site. r~ \J c-d) The Cucamonga County Water District ("D~stnct") is an independent speaal district that provides sewer collection, water treatment and distribution services to 152,000 customers in the aty of Rancho Cucamonga, portions of the cities of Ontario, Fontana, and Upland, and a portion of the unincorporated area of the County. The Distract funds water and sewer system capital improvements primarily through developer fees ("Development Capaaty Charges") (developer fees) for the right to connect to the District's systems. The amount of the charge is based on the size of meter installed for a new customer (Cucamonga County Water Distract LAFCO Sphere/Serwce Review Report, September, 2002). The protect applicant will be regwred to pay fees for service to the Cucamonga County Water Distract The impact to the District's water treatment and distribution system is determined to be less than signficant. e) The protect will increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape proposed on-site. An existing 33-inch storm drain is located near the eastern border of the site, and an existing 3 5-foot wide concrete Swale would be extended from the existing budding Extension of existing and proposed drainage systems onsite would make this impact less than significant. f) Solid waste collection and disposal services are currently supplied by the City's contracted hauler and transported to the Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill in the City of Rialto The proposed protect includes a 128,594 square foot addition with a 6,062 square foot ramp connecting the proposed building to the existing building, for a total of 134,656 square feet. The proposed addition would be used for storage and would regwre an addition of four employees. Based on the proposed use, the protect will not generate a significant amount of solid waste. C~ g) The Cucamonga County Water Distract (CCWD) provides water treatment, storage, and distribution of domestic water to Rancho Cucamonga and portion of the Cities of Ontario, Fontana, and a tract in Upland The proposed protect would include the construction/operation of a 134,656 square foot addition to an existing 150,020 square foot building. Since the addition would be used for storage, operational activities would not regwre a significant amount of water. The CCWD is responsible for collecting developer fees for the construction and operation of water and wastewater facilities. 13 ~- Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 18 Pol.~ly Issues and Supporting Information Sources• Paenumy u ~ ,`"rid, SipNficanl MOpaOm 9ptlficanl No 1 I b I I 13.

In the southern area, they are covered by alluvwm derived from the erosion of the San Gabriel Mountains Most alluvial deposits are nonfossdiferous, rendering these sediments a very low paleontologic potential overall. According to a localities database search conducted by the San Bernardino County Museum in February 2000, no paleonotologic resources have been recorded from within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the sphere-of-influence. The Historic Preservation Commission recommends resource classifications to the City Council for areas classified as either a landmark or a point of interest. Pursuant to Section 2.24 090 of the Historic Preservation Ordinance adopted in March 1988, adopted criteria are considered by the Historic Preservation Commission when determining a resources' signdicance according to the following categories: 1) Land marks of Historical and Cultural Significance, 2) Landmarks of Architectural and Engineering Significance; and 3) Landmarks of Neighborhood and Geographical Significance According to a record search conducted by the Archeological Information Center at the San Bernardino County Museum on March 6, 2000, 139- acre specrficsurvey reports and five general area overviews are on file for the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. 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 restnct the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major penods of California history or prehistory's b) Short term: Does the project 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 project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past protects, 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) Sensitive biological resources are habitats or individual species that have special recognition by federal, state, or local conservation agencies and are categorized as either endangered, threatened, or rare The project site is located within the southern-central portion of the City According to Exhibit IV-3 "Sensitive Biological Resources," the only sensitive/endangered species of concern within this area is the Delhi Sands Flower-loving fly The site is within the Ontario 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 • • T/~ Initial Study for DRC2002-00921 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 21 In November 2002, URS Corporation performed a Habitat Assessment for the southern-most portion (9 acres) of the site. Based on descriptions of DSFLF occupied habitat, the speces regwres open areas with soil comprised of Delhi series sands and certain plant species According to the survey, the site does not exhibit these characteristics. Although Delhi Series sands are found onsite, the sod surface is either paved or developed with a vineyard that receives mechanical and chemical disturbances (e.g. foot traffic, herbicides, and pestiades). The survey site also tacks the necessary "open" space and vegetation typically associated with DSFLF habitat. In addition, the survey site is completely surrounding on all sides by industrial buildings, isolating the site from other open space. Therefore, based on the lack of necessary habitat as well as isolation from other potential DSFLF habitats, the likelihood of this site supporting the SDFLF is very low. ~J b) The applicant must prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for submittal to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) as grading actiwties would exceed one acre. The protect would also require a General Construction Activity Storm Water Runoff Permit from the SWRCB. Both the SWRCB and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) would requre the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to control the discharge of pollutants and sediments into streets and/or stormwater 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 during the rainy season Mitigation measures presented within this Irntial Study would ensure impacts are less than signficant. c) If the proposed land use development is adopted, then the applicant would be requred to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The General Plan 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 bwldout 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 signficant levels As such, the City adopted statements of overriding consideration balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan update against the signfficant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that would be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space Wdh these findings and statements of overriding consideration, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required d) A 134,656 square-foot addition to an existing 150,020 square foot warehouse would not cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly The initial study did not identify any impacts that would have a potentially significant affect to the environment.
