ANALYSIS:
A General: This project includes three components. The first is an amendment of Section
17.16 030 the Utility Corridor District use regulations to allow public storage faalities,
including outdoor RV parking in the Utility Corridor District with a conditional use permit. The
second component consists of plans for a public storage facility on 5 38 acres in the Utility
Corridor District, along with outdoor RV parking, six storage buildings totaling 71,175 square
feet, and a management office of approximately 1,430 square feet, located on the north side
of Base Line Road, east of Day Creek Flood Control Channel within the SCE power line
corridor. The third component, which does not regwre Planning Commission action, is the
processing of a Memorandum of Agreement between SCE and the City for the master
planning of future public recreation use and private commercial use of fee owned SCE
propefies vnthin the City.
Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-01130• The architectural plans submitted are of a high
quality design which meets the Citys design gwdelines and applicable General Plan Policies.
The architecture design is Mediterranean with a strong tower element at the main entrance
Budding materials include decorative cornice, stucco walls, ledger stone wainscot, and
decorative block perimeter walls consistent with the adjacent Victoria Planned Community
Development Code Amendment DRC2003-01144 This Amendment would amend the
Development Code to allow, subject to a conditional use permit, public storage faalities,
including outdoor RV pariang in the Utility Corridor District This amendment is similar to the
re ulations that already exist for other locations in the Industrial zoned areas that are

B Desion Review Committee• The Committee recommended approval at its March 1, 2005,
meeting
C. Technical Review Committee. The Committee recommended approval with conditions.
D Environmental Assessment• Staff has prepared an Initial Study and has recommended a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration Development of
the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly The Irntial Study identifies construction-related
emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. Proposed mitigation
measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air
quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed
The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of
people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will
ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels in connection with the approval of the
component of this project which is the subject of the approval of the Conditional Use Permd
and by the imposition of site-specific mitigation measures on future applications for self
storage facilities in the Utility Corridor District
FACTS FOR FINDING• See attached Resolutions for applicable findings
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within
a 300-foot radws of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the Negative
Declaration and approve the attached Resolutions approving Conditional Use Permit
DRC2003-01130 and recommending that the City Council approve Development Code
Amendment DRC2003-01144 and adopt the Negative Declaration. Final approval of the
Conditional Use Permit is contingent upon City Council approval of the Development Code
Amendment.

Re: Power Storage Rancho Cucamonga, LLC
Project No: 01-260
We would like to request your approval of a Conditional Use Permit, for the proposed 72,843
square feet sell storage faality consisting of a 71,408 square feet of self-storage, 1,435 square
feet management office, and outdoor RV parking spaces.
eS e
The site is on the northerly side of Baseline Road between the streets Rochester Avenue and
Day Creek Blvd. The western property line lies 30 feet east of the easement for the Day Creek
Channel. Currently, the site is being used as a nursery with no permanent structures. The
existing sheds are dated and have no foundations.
The site topography is relatively flat, and it falls from the north to the south at approximately 2.5
%. The site currently drains to Baseline Road .
Benefit to the Community
The project objective is to provide a quality self storage facility that will better serve the needs
of the community. The demographics of the tenant profile for this inGude local business
professionals who usually store records and office equipment, home based businesses, and
households within the community.
Self storage projects have proven to be excellent neighbors both for commercial and residential
neighbors alike. It requires minimum city services from water, sewer, police and fire
departments. It adds minimum traffic to the neighborhood as most storage tenants visit their
unit during off-peak hours and on weekends. It also bungs to the city a much needed tax base.
Minimum Traffic Impact
According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), self-storage generates the lowest
level of traffic commercial, retail, office or industrial land uses.
Self-storage peak hours vehicle tnp rate is 0.17 trips/1,000 SF to 0.258 trips/1,000 SF. For this
project this data translates to 11.5 to 17.5 vehicle tnps at peak hour use periods. This happens
usually in the mornings during the week. The average traffic generated (14.5 peak hour vehiGe
trips) during a nine hour weekend business day would total less than 130 trips/day with four
employees. .
~-~-c a a
Building Design
The new budding addition with its traditional California architecture will greatly enhance the
overall character of the facility, bunging a much needed improvement to the Baseline Road
sVeet scape.
The building is well articulated. Its design incorporates various roof heights and masses,
projections and recessed wall planes. Further interest is created through the use of different
budding materials, such as stucco and mission file roofing, and architectural details and colors.
The state-0f-the-art design Hell elevate the standards for new development in the area and
serve as a catalyst for other quality developments.
Operation
Current operation hours will be kept. The office will typically be open from Sam to 6pm from
Monday to Sunday.
There will be 2 to 4 employees working at the site. Two employees will work at the facility during
business hours, occupying the office at all times from opening to closing.
SecuritX Svstem
The new self-storage addition will boast a new state-of the-art security system with individual
door alarms, security cameras, and an infrared alarm system. The site will also have a new
computerized gate system.
Summary
The proposed Power Storage facility will be a modem aesthetically pleasing project with state-
of-the art security systems. It will be a major benefit to the community with minimum impact to
existing public utilities, seances and traffic.
Conclusion
We respectfully submit the proposed addition for your review and request your approval of a
Conditional Use Permit .

1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: () () () (/)
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, () () () (/)
but not limited to, trees, rods outcroppings, and
historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing casual character () () () (`~)
or quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (/) ( )
which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?
Comments•
a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within a
caeca corridor according to General Plan 6rhibit III-15
b) The protect site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic
Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga
c) The sde is located on the north side of Base Line Road, east of Day Creek Flood Control
Channel within the Edison power line corridor and is characterized by a mix of residential,
utility, and institutional development to the north, south, east, and west. The visual quality of
the area will not degrade as a result of this protect. Design review is regwred prior to
approval. City standards regwre the developer to underground existing and new utility lines
and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utildy enclosures
in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said
Resolution. ~,
d) The protect would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vianity. The design and placement of light fixtures v~nll be shown on Site Plans
which requue rewew for consistency wdh Cdy standards that requires shielding, diffusing, or
Indirect lighting to avoid glare Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of
illumination to within the protect site. The impact is not considered significant.
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () (/) ( )
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Mondonng Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural
use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or () () () (/)
a Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes m the existing environment, () () () (/)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments•
a) The sde is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statevde
Importance The site is located on approximately 6.48 acres of land and is characterized by
~~C ~ 3

Page 4
utility corridor development to the north and south, institutional use to the east, and flood
control channel to the west. There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands,
Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, of which about one-third is either developed or committed to development
according to General Pian Table IV-2. The major concentrations of designated farmlands are
located in the southern and eastern portions of our City that is characterized by existing and
planned development Further, two-thirds of the designated farmland parcels are small,
ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful, therefore, they are
not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General
Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) identified the conversion of farmlands to
urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Ovemding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Councl The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City.
c) The site is located on approximately 6 48 acres of land and is characterized by utility corridor
development, and to utility corcidor development to the north and south, institutional use to
the east, and Flood control channel to the west The nearest agricultural use is more than
mile east from the protect site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALfrY. Would the project: () () () (/)
a) Conflict with or obsWct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any av quality standard or contribute () (/) () ( )
substantially to an existing or protected air quality
violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase () () () (~)
of any criteria pollutant for which the protect region
is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or
State ambient air quality standard (inGuding
releasing emissions that exceed quantitative
thresholds for ozone precursors?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant () (/) () ( )
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial () () () (/)
number of people?
Comments•
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 8), continued development will contribute to the
pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a
significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overciding Considerations
was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the
General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
b) During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty
consWction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions
In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities
While most of the dust would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain
in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area Construction is an
on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area Construction workers and equipment

work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. They then transfer
to a different site where the process begins agam. Therefore, the emissions associated with
construction activities are not new to the Rancho Cucamonga area and they would not violate
an air quality standard or worsen the existing air quality in the region. Nevertheless, fugitive
dust and equpment emissions are regwred to be assessed by the South Coast Av Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) on a protect-specific basis. Therefore, the following
mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so
as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the
construction site for City verification.
2) Prior to the issuance of any Grading Permits, the developer shall submit
construction plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected
equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that
low-emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use
was investigated and found to be Infeasible for the project. Contractors shall
also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff.
3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted In
SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or
high-volume, low-pressure spray.
4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule
1108.
5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.
Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil
during and after the end of work periods.
Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances
and use sound engineering practices.
Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt Is
carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
•
Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rula 403 requirements.
Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haui trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWG1C6]) dally to reduce
Fine Particulate Matter (PM~o) emissions, In accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
13a-C ~5

City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 6
T) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to .
all Inactive construction areas that remain Inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM~o emissions.
8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative
fuel-powered equipment where feasible.
9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction grading plans Include
a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not In use.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air
quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section
5.6). Based upon the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMISTG) model estimates in
Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactivg Organic Gases
(ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
significance, therefore, would all be cumulatively significant d they cannot be mitigated
on a project basis to a level less-than-significant The General Plan FEIR identified the
citywide increase m emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a
Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Counal
In the long-tens, development consistent with the General Plan would result in
signdcant operational vehicle emissions based upon the URBEMISTG model
estimates in Table 5.6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, therefore, would all be cumulatively
significant rf they cannot be mtigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-significant
The following mitigation measures shall be implemented
10) All industrial and commercial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks shall •
not be left Idling for prolonged periods (I.e., in excess of 10 minutes).
11) Ail industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking for
vanpools.
12) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be
required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas.
13) Atl industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be
required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink schedule to
the extent reasonably feasible.
14) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to Incorporate
high-efficiencyflow-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
15) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to Incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR
identified the atywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a Statement of Ovenidng Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would contnbute to
the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State
standards The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a
significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overnding Considerations was

ultimately adopted by the City Council. The protect proposed is consistent with the General
Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and Impacts evaluated.
d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors long-term health care facilites, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities.
According to the SCAt]MD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they
are located within '/. mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants
identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. According to the SCAQMD, protects have the potential to
create significent impacts d they are located within '/. mile of sensitive receptors and would
emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located
within '/. mile from the nearest sensitive receptor: single-faintly residences to the west and
north. The mdigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impacts to a level of
less-than-significent.
e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create obtectionable odors. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.

abatement According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5 3 of the General Plan .
FEIR, the prolect site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore,
development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals
because of the fact that the prolect is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent
with the General Plan Land Use Plan.
b) The prolect site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat
exists on-site, meaning the prolect will not have any impacts.
c) No wetland habitat is present on-site As a result, project implementation would have no
Impact on these resources
d) The malonty of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any
wildlife corridors that may have existed No adverse impacts are anticipated
e) There are two heritage trees near the southeast corner of the prolect site IThcanthas filed

plans will occur.
5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project () () () (/)
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resource as defined in
§ 15084 51
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (/) () ( )
significance of an archaeological resource

interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2 24 (Historic Preservation) There will be no impact.
b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however,
the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans
according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11). Construction activity, particularly
grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and
potential archaeological resources. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
1) N any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during
grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor
construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them
for study. Wlth the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga will:

• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or
significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its
archaeological value.
Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological
sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or
focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological heritage.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse project effects on significant, Important, and unique
prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEQA guidelines.
Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the
Inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an
alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or
resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the sphere-of-
influence, including the protect site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for
paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposded during the
wetter climate that prevatled 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of
the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modem man occurred,
may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The protect site is underlain by Quatemary
alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2, therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be
implemented:
2) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstructlon field survey of the
project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also
provide speciflic recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e.,
paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring Is appropriate, the program must Include, but not be limited to, the
following measures:
M
Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid
removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time
during the interval of earth~disturbing activities.
Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert
earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed
salvage. H construction personnel make the discovery, the grading
contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor
of the find.
Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to the San Bernardino
County Museum.
d) The proposed protect is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The
project site has already been disrupted by previous use as a Nursery, and construction of
infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual discmg for weed abatement No known
religious or sacred sites exist within the protect area. No evidence is in place to suggest the
protect site has been used for human burials. The California Health and Safety Code
(Section 7050 5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further disturbance
shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of ongin and disposition

pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097 98 As adherence to State regulations is
regwred for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains
are discovered on-site. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
g, GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial
adverse effects, including the nsk of loss, injury, or
death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as
delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo

Comments•
a) No known faults pass through the site and R is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is d in the
Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General
Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR The Red Hill Fault, passes within

Each of these faults can produce strong groundshaking Adhering to the Undorn Bwiding Code
will ensure that geologic impacts are less-than-significant
The proposed project will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site
sods The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions dunng
September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems.
Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting
in temporary problems of dust control, however, development of this project under fhe
General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads,
buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigabon
measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels:
[3.FC SO

1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and RWoC6) daily to reduce PM~o emissions, in accordance with
SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as
possible
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by
the City to reduce PM~o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soli off-
site. Timing may vary depending upon the 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 SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to
all Inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM~o emissions.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated with
large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aquifer The protect would not withdraw
water from the existing agwfer The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous area or other
unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FEIR Figure 5 1-2. Soil types
on-site consist of TvC Soil association according to General Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. No
adverse Impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD).
Project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The State of California
is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The General
Construction Perind Ueats any construction activity over 1 acre as an indusVial actroity,
requving a permit under the State's General NPDES permit The State Water Resource
Control Board (SWRCB) through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa
Ana Region, administers these permits.
Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction perimt include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
sign cant redevelopment Prior to commencement of construction of a protect, a discharger
13~-C53
Initial Study for

City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 14
must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Permit. The
General permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during construction
activities, including site clearance and grading:
Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would
specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction pollutants
from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from
moving off-site into receiving waters.
Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.
Perform Inspections of all BMPs
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction protect discharges A
construction pro/ect for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES
permit Construction protect proponents are regwred to prepare an SWPPP. To comply with
the NPDES, the construction contractor of the protect will be requved to prepare an SWPPP
during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post-
construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a
WQMP, prepared by RMA on February 21, 2005, that identifies Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the drainage
system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads, and other impermeable surfaces
must be controlled through an on-site drainage system BMPs include both structural and
non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage stone water pollutant
levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural
controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing Erosion
and Sediment Control Plans, and various business plans that must be developed by any .
businesses that store and use hazardous materials Practices, such as periodic parking lot
sweeping, can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system
The following mitigation measures would be regwred to control additional storm water
effluent.
Construction Activities:
~. Prior to Issuance of Grading Permits, the permit applicant shall submit to
Building ONiclal for approval, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
specifically Identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on-
site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain
system to the maximum extent practical.
y, An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, Included in the Grading Plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to control
on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are
initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall Include
the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and
construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in southern
California, and b) An Inspection and maintenance program shall be Included to
ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of
this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program
within a specified time frame.
3. During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must
be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there is
rainfall or other runoff.
~-~cs y-

4. During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed
prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to
prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site.
Post- Construction Operational•
5. The developer shall Implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality
Management Plan (WQMP) prepared by RMA on February 21, 2005, to reduce
pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum
extent practical.
g, Landscaping Plans shall Include provisions for controlling and minimizing the
use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored
and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable
growth. Plans for these areas, Including monitoring provisions for a minimum of
two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the
Issuance of Grading Permits.
b) According to CVWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided ftom ground water in
the Cucamonga and Chino Basins CVWD has adopted a master plan that estimates
demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed prolect vinll not deplete groundwater
supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because d is not within an area designated as a
recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Exhibit IV-2. The
development of the site wtll regwre the grading of the site and excavation, however, would
. not affect the existing agwfer, estimated to be about 288 to 470 feet below the ground
surface As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.9), continued development citywide
will Increase water needs and is a significant impact; however, CVWD has plans to meet this
increased need through the construction of future water faalities.
c) The project vmll cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site, however, the project will not alter the course of any sVeam or rNer. All
runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle
the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscepe areas to prevent
erosion A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Budding Official and City
Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, the project will not result in
substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered signfiicant.
d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscepe
proposed on a sde, however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All
runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle
the flows A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Offiaal and City
Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will
not result in flooding on- or off-site No impacts are anticpated.
e) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new bwlding and hardscape
proposed on a site; however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities,
which have been designed to handle the flows The project will not result In substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the
. Building Offiaal and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permts Therefore, increase
in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site No impacts are anticipated
f) Grading activities associated wdh the construction period could result in a temporary increase
in the amount of suspended solids in surface Flows during a concurrent storm event, thus

resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is for new development or significant
redevelopment, therefore, is regwred to comply wdh the NPDES to minimize water pollution
The following mitigation measures shall be implemented.
7, Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City
Engineer for approval of a WQMP, Including a project description and Identifying
BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system
to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall Identify the structural and
non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development
and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004.
8. Prior to issuance of Grading or Paving Permits, the applicant shall obtain a
Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm
Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this
has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Dischargers Identification Number)
shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES
General Construction Permit.
g) No housing units are proposed with this project No adverse impacts are expected.
h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan
Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected
i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to convey a 100-year storm event The system is substantially improved and
provides an integrated approach for regional and Iccal drainage flows This existing system
includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined
channels, and underground storm drams as shown in General Plan Exhibit V-6. The project
site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5.
No adverse impacts are expected.
J) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site, therefore, impacts from seiche
and tsunami are not antiapated The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep
eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams.
Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the
level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams
and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the Cdy.

f) For a protect within the vicinity of a private airstrip, O O O (~)
would the project expose people residing or
working in the protect area to excessive noise
levels9
Comments:
a) The project sde is wthin an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Exhibit V-13 at bwld-out because of traffic noise along Base Lrne Road,
however, the proposed public storage use would not prowde long-term exposure to noise
levels. No adverse impact is expected.
b) The uses associated with this type of protect normally do not induce ground borne vibrations.
As such, no impacts are anticipated.
c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic The proposed
activities will not significantly increase traffic, hence, are not anticipated to increase the
ambient noise levels within the wanity of the project.
d) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 7) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, wdl
generate noise exceeding Cdy standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate
the short-term noise impacts.
1) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday.
2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified In
Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property line. The
developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as
specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may
be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their findings to
the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the above
standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Planning Department.
If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be
reduced in Intensity to a level of compliance with above noise standards or
halted.
3) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible In first phase.
The preceding mitigation measures wdl reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction egwpment; however, do not address the potential impacts because of the
transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall
then be required:
4i Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30
a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national
holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily
trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall
prepare a Noise Mitigation Plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes. To
the extent feasible, the Plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive
land uses or residential dwellings.

e) The site is not located withm an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport The site is located approximately 3 miles northerly of the Ontario fUrport and is offset
north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 %: miles to the west of
the City's westerly limits No impact is anticipated.
12. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project () () () (~)
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area,
either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example,
throw h extension of roads or other infrastructure 7
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, () () () (~)
necessitating the construction of replacement
housin elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, () () () (~)
necessitating the construction of replacement
housin elsewhere
Comments:
a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population
growth. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area. Once constructed, the proposed project will have a limited number of
employees; hence, will not create a demand for additional housing as a majority of the
employees will likely be hued from within the City or surrounding communities. No impacts
are antiapated
b) The protect slte contains no existing housing units No adverse impact expected.
c) The protect site is vacant land. No impacts are anticpated.
13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result /n
substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physcally altered govemmental
facilities, need for new or physically altered govemmental
facildies, the construction of which could cause significant

Comments:
a) The site is located on the north side of Base Line Road, east of Day Creek Flood Control
Channel within the Edison power line corridor, would be served by a fire station located
approximately'/: mile from the protect site The protect wtll not regwre the construction of
any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of
service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of

approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the prolect so no
impacts to fire services will occur. No impacts are anticipated.
b) Additional police protection is not regwred as the addition of the project will not change the
pattern of uses wthin the surrounding area and will not have a substantial rncrease in
property to be patrolled as the prolect site is within an area that is regularly patrolled
c) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Etiwanda School District and the
Chaffey Joint Union High School District The prolect will be required to pay School Fees as
prescribed by State law prior to the issuance of budding permits No impacts are anticipated.
d) The site is rn a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The
nearest park is located '/, mile from the prolect site. The prolect will not requre the
construction of any new faalities or alteration of any existing faalities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities No impacts are
anticipated.
e) The proposed prolect will utilize existing public facilities. The site is m a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The prolect will ,not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities Cumulatroe
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According
to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9 9), the protected increase in library space under fhe
General Plan will not meet the protected demand. The General Plan FEIR identified the
cumulative impact on library services as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for whrch a
Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Counal. The
proposed prolect is consistent with the General Plan for which the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) was prepared and impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General Plan,
the City has planned a new library within the Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of
approximately 22,000 square feet, which is in excess of the projected need of 15,500 square
feet at build-out of the City
14. RECREATION. Would the project: () () () (~)
a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and
regional parks or other recreational facilities such
that substantial physical deterioration of the facility
would occur or be accelerated
b) Does the prolect include recreational faalities or () () () (~)
regwre the construction or expansion of
recreational faalities, which might have an adverse

Comments•
a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park, Ellena Park, is located .47 mile from the protect site. This project is not
proposing any new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase rn
the use of parks or other recreational facildies. No impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a) The proposed project includes the development of outdoor RV parking, six storage buildings
totaling 71,175 square feet, and a management office of approximately 1,430 square feet.
The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that the total uses will generate 48 trips
datly. As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 5), continued development will
contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated
The prolect is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or
included in project design. The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of
vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The prolect site will be required to
provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site
per City roadway standards. In addition, the City has established a Transportation
Development Fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building pennds.
Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic
crculation. No impacts are anticpated.

b) The prolect will generate 12 two-way peak hour trips, which is less than 250 two-way peak
hour trips for non-retail; therefore, is below the threshold of the San Bernardino Congestion
Management Plan (CMP) cnteria for regwring a traffic impact analysis The project is in an
area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The prolect will not
negatively impact the level of service standards on adjacent artenals The project will be
required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage
of the site No impacts are anticipated.
c) Located approximately 3 miles northerly of the Ontario Avport, the site is offset north of the
flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. No impacts are anticipated
d) The project is in an area that is mostly developed The project will be requred to provide
street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. The
prolect design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections or farming uses

The protect will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design
feature. No impacts are anticipated.
e) The project wdl be designed to provide access for all emergency vehiGes and will, therefore,
not create an inadequate emergency access No impacts are anticipated
f) The protect design has adequate parking in compliance with standards of the Rancho
Cucamonga Development Code and will, therefore, not create an inadequate parking
capacity No impacts are anticipated.
g) The protect design includes, or the project will be conditioned to provde, features supporting
transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e g., bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc.).

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE () () () (,~)
a) Does the project have the potenbal to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habdat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major periods
of California histo or rehisto
b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually O O O (~)
limited, but cumulabvely considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the
incremental effects of a protect are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and
the effects of robable future ro ects T
c) Does the protect have environmental effects that () () () (~)
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
bein s, either directl or indirectl 7
Comments:
a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City of
Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3. Additionally, the area surrounding the site is
developed. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any
endangered or rare species would inhabit the site.
b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be regwred to develop the
site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2001 General
Plan was adopted along wdh the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-
out inthe City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General
Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, av
quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources.
Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not
P~1-C l03
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DRC2003-01130 Page 24
reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan
Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelines Section
15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing
mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open
space With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further
discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required.
c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study ident~es
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact
Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts
resulting from av quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities
were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with
the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial
Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CECA process, one
or more effects have been adequately analyzed m an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section
15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within the scope of and adequately
analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects

FINDING •
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
^ The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the protect may have a significant
effect on the environment.
® The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but.
(1) Revisions in the protect plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the effects or
mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the protect as revised may have a
significant effect on the envvonment
If adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report w111 not be required.
Reasons to support this finding are included in the attached Initial Study. The project file and all
related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department at
10500 Crvic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-2847.

assessment for the application, the City Counal finds that there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference,
based upon the findings as follows•
a That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA gwdelmes
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent~udgment of the City Counal; and, further, this City Counal has

regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the protect is approved, all significant effects will be
reduced to a less than significant level by imposition of mitigation measures on the component
of the project that involves development approval for a public storage use on a specific site and
by the imposition of site speafic mitigation measures as applications for self-storage faalities
are approved in the future
c Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the City Council finds as follows• In considering the record as a whole, the Initial
Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed
protect will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat upon
which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the City
Counal during the public hearing, the City Council hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse
effect as set forth in Section 753 5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00078 - CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA/SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON - Consideration of a
Memorandum of Understanding for the use of Southern California Edison Utility
Corridors for recreational trail use and some commercial/industrial uses in selected
areas as allowed by the General Plan.
BACKGROUND For several years the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Southern California
Edison (SCE) have been engaged in discussions regarding SCE's desire to develop right of
ways under ownership or turisdiction of SCE, located within the corporate limits of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga In addition, the City has planned for the use of portions of the SCE right
of ways as community trails, parks, and/or ancillary recreation related uses through the adopted
General Plan As a result, SCE and the City have developed the attached "Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) Concerning the Development of Southern California Edison Right of
Ways." Attached to that document is a Master Plan that depicts SCE's nght of ways and the
land uses which the City and SCE desire to develop and use on said right of ways
ANALYSIS
A. General The City has reviewed the proposed uses depicted on the attached Master Plan
and has determined that the proposed uses are, in general, contextually appropriate to the
location where each use is proposed
Each of the proposed land uses depicted on the Master Plan, however, are subtect to
review and approval actions including but not limited to, general plan amendments, zone
changes, conditional use permits, development review permits, parcel maps, and building
and fire plan checks, depending upon the nature of the proposed land use and its location
in the City
The City and SCE recognize that should the SCE right of ways be developed according to
the land use depicted on the Master Plan, the development must occur in an organized
manner, and the projects must be consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and all other applicable regulations and policies

Concerning the Development of Southern California Edison Right of Ways within
the Corporate Limits and Sphere of Influence of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga
The City of Rancho Cucamonga (°City') and Southern California Edison (°SCE°) for several
years have been engaged in discussions regarding the desire of SCE to develop Right of Ways
under ownership or iurisdiction of SCE located within the corporate limits of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. In addition the City has planned for the use of portions of the SCE Right of Ways
as community trails, parks, and/or anallary recreation related uses through the adopted General
Plan. As a result SCE and the City have developed the attached "City of Rancho Cucamonga -
SCE MOU -Master Plan° ("Master Plan') of SCE's Right of Ways dated 2005,
and attached hereto as Exhibit A, which depicts SCE's Right of Ways and the land uses which
the City and SCE desire to develop and use on said Right of Ways.
The City has reviewed the proposed uses depicted on the Master Plan and has determined that
the proposed uses are, in general, contextually appropnate to the location where each use is
proposed.
Each of the proposed land uses depicted on the Master Plan, however, are subject to review
and approval actions including but not limited to, general plan amendments, zone changes,
conditional use permits, development review permits, parcel maps, and building and fire plan
checks, depending upon the nature of the proposed land use and ds location in the City.
The City and SCE recognize that should the SCE Right of Ways be developed according to the
land use depicted on the Master Plan, the development must occur in an organized fashion, and
the projects must be consistent wdh the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and all other
applicable regulations and policies.
After considering the community planning issues associated with the development of SCE Right
of Ways within the City the following understanding and considerations have been determined:
1. The Land Uses depicted on the Master Pian dated 2005 are, in
general, contextually appropriate to the location where each use is proposed.
2. Each development project proposed by SCE will be subject to, and consistent with the
City's General Plan, Deveiopment Code, and all other applicable regulations and
policies.
3. Implementation of the City's Master Plan of Trails as depicted on the Master Plan dated
2005 are, in general, conceptually appropriate for use Hnthin the
portions of SCE Right of Ways where each use is proposed.
4. Implementation of each City Recreation Faalities and/or ancillary use(s) shall be
subject to SCE's review and approval of individual License Agreements, which includes
the operating requirements and limitations of SCE.
