ANALYSIS
A General The protect site is located at the northeast "quadrant" of the Rancho Cucamonga
Corporate Park that is "anchored" by Lowes Home Improvement, a speaalty retail
warehouse Currently, the parcels to the south (Parcels 6, 7, and 8) of the site are
undeveloped Immediately to the west (Parcel 2), a commercial bwlding is under
wnstruction (related file Development Rewew DRC2004-00404) To the east (Parcel 4) is
Carrow's Restaurant At this time, tenants for the bulding are undetermined, however, the
applicant antiapates several retail stores and a restaurant As shown above, the parking
calculations reflect this mix These uses are consistent with this development district, the
proposed budding, and the surrounding industrial or commercal uses The closest residential
development is over 1/4 mile north of the site
Although the master plan does not have an adopted architectural gwdelines and materials
palette, the Planning Commission has stated that the overall quality of architecture for pad
buildings within the master plan should be on par with the Lowes Home Improvement store
The applicant antiapates four tenants for this building with entrances at the south side
Emphasis to the entrances will be provided by two tower elements on the southeast and
southwest corners, and by a large trellis feature between them An additional trellis will be
provided at the west side of the building Parapets of varying heights and horizontal
articulation of the wall planes will provide visual interest All elevations have ledge stone
wainscots and extensive glass (spandrel and vision) Additional accent features that are
included on all elevations include decorative medallions, score lines, and accent arches The
site is designated as a Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area by the Foothill Boulevard-
Histonc Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan The Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66 Visual
Improvement Plan designates a "Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area" along this portion of
Foothill Boulevard, featuring colored pavement emblazoned with the Route 66 logo, special
sidewalk treatment, artwork, and a historic post and cable roadway safety barrier (to
discourage people from crossing Foothill Boulevard) The "Suburban Parkway Enhancement

Area" is limited to a 45-foot stretch that has already been enhanced (except for pavement
emblazoning) by the adjoining Carrow's restaurant, therefore, the proposed protect would be
installing normal parkway improvements
B Grading and Technical Review Committees The Grading Review Committee (Dan James,
Darnel To) reviewed the protect on August 16, 2005 The Grading Review Committee
recommended approval to the Planning Commission Techrncal comments were provided to
the applicant and have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval
C Design Review Committee The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the
protect on August 16, 2005 In response to staffs design review comments (Exhibit H), the
applicant revised the architecture and site layout of the building The Committee requested
additional revisions including the addition of ledge stone to the columns that are located at
the north side of the budding, shade trees at the south and west sides of the building, and a
greater variety and quantity of groundcover and trees throughout the site The applicant
agreed to incorporate staffs recommendations into the protect design The Committee's
comments and conditions have been incorporated into the attached Resolution of Approval
D Environmental Assessment The 135-acre site is within the master-planned Rancho
Cucamonga Corporate Park, a 140-acre commeraal and industrial complex located at the
southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue The design of the protect is in
compliance with the approved Master Plan (DRC99-11 and DRC99-11 MOD) A Mitigated
Negative Declaration was adopted for the original Master Plan in April of 1999
Subsequently, in June of 2000, a Mitigation Morntoring Program was adopted by the Planrnng
Commission, and, in February of 2002, a Negative Declaration was adopted for modification
to the original Master Plan (DRC99-11MOD) and the corresponding parcel map for this site
(SUBTPM15630) The protect will be regwred to implement all pertinent mitigation measures
adopted in the previous Negative Declarations, thereby ensuring that any potential impacts of
the protect will remain less-than-significant Staff is of the opinion that no further
environmental review is necessary because the protect is (1) consistent with the approved
master plan and (2) within in the protect scope of the above-sled, prior Environmental
Assessments
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Development Review DRC2004-01126

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2004-01126 -
PANA iTONI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC - A proposal to construct one single-story retail and
restaurant building with a total floor area of about 7,000 square feet on a parcel of 1.61 acre in the
Industrial Park Distract (Subarea 7), located at the south side of Foothill Boulevard between Milliken
Avenue and Mayten Street - APN~ 0229-011-85 Related file: Pre-Application Review
DRC2004-00426.
Design Parameters: The protect site is located about 340 feet east of the southeast comer of
Foothill Boulevard and Mayten Street on a parcel of 53,500 square feet (about 258 feet vnde by 213
feet deep) The site is designated as a Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area by the Foothill
Boulevard-Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. The Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66
Visual Improvement Plan designates a "Suburban Parkway Enhancement Area" (see attached)
along this portion of Foothill Boulevard, featuring colored pavement emblazoned with the Route 66
logo, speaal sidewalk treatment, artwork, and a historic post and cable roadway safety bamer (to
discourage people from crossing Foothill Boulevard). The "Suburban Parkway EnhancementArea"
is limited to a 45-foot stretch that has already been enhanced (except for pavement emblazoning) by
. the adjoining Carrows restaurant, therefore, the proposed protect would be installing normal
parkway improvements
The properties to the north and south are vacant, the property to the west is undergoing grading for
a future commeraal building (related file DRC2004-00404), and the propertyto the east ~s Carrow's
restaurant The site is part of the Catellus Master Plan that was conceptually approved by the
Planning Commission on April 28, 1999 (related file DR99-11), and includes Lowes home
improvement center, Farmer Boys restaurant, and Carrows restaurant. The existing topography
slopes from about 1,210 feet on the north (street) side of the lot to about 1,201 feet on the south
(interior) side The building pad will be 5 feet below the Foothill Boulevard curb.
An existing, east-west drive aisle along the south side of the site allows vehicular access to other
parts of the commeraal complex. Pedestrian access has also been provided from the southeast
comer of the building directly to a driveway located immediately to the east of the building. The
proposed building will most likely have four tenant spaces The primary entrances to each proposed
tenant space is from the south side of the bwldmg The parking area is situated along the south and
west side of the building and is comprised of 50 parking stalls. Landscape coverage is 26 percent,
the minimum regwrement is 15 percent for this development distract
The proposed building is comprised of architecture that is generally consistent with the surrounding
pad tenants Key features include raised "towers" at all comers of the bwldmg (except the
northwest), arched soffets, columns, and storefront glass The south face of the southeast comer
tower element protects horizontally about 15 feet from the primary south wall plane of the bwldmg.
A 60-foot by 13-foot trellis defines the entrances of the "secondary" tenants, it also serves to casually
link the towerelements at each end Additional features include cornice tram, wainscots, and reveals
on all wall planes similar to those on the Union Bank of California and Carrows restaurant buildings.
The stucco firnsh and color will generally match those buildings.
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to prowde an outline for Committee
discussion.

Major Issues. The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project
1 Incorporate glass along the north elevation facing Foothill Boulevard to mirnmize the expanse
of bare stucco walls The application of glass, which probably will be spandrel (non-vision),
• should be similar to the north elevation of the commercial budding under construction to the
west (related file DRC2004-00404) that employs a least two panels of glass adtacent to each
man door (Exhibit A) An alternative to glass could be murals with a Route 66 theme.
2. Provde a wainscot comprised of cultured stone veneer on all elevations of the building
3. Enhance the entrance of the tenant space at the west end of the building by projecting the
west face of the southwest comer towerelement, and corresponding columns, furtheroutfrom
the primary west wall plane of the bwlding the same as the tower at the southeast comer of
the budding (Exhibit B).
Secondary Issues. Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1 Cultured stone veneer should be applied to the full height of the columns at all tower locations
(Exhibd A)
• 2 Provide an additional trellis element along the west side of the budding (Exhibit B) to match the
one on the south side of the bwlding
3. The foists of all trellises shall be a minimum 4 inches by 12 inches and should have a
maximum spacing of 24 inches on center
4 The retaining wall located along the east side of the protect should be constructed of
decorative block/stone to match the veneer on the bwlding
Policy Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the protect design without discussion
1 Provide decorative accent medallions/quatrefoils at various locations on each elevation of the
building similar to those applied on the Union Bank of California and Carrow's restaurant
bwldings
2 Provide decorative paving in the walkways along the south and west sides of the budding.
3. All roof equipment shall be screened by parapet walls.
4 All trash enclosures should be constructed per the City's design standard for commeraal
projects.
5 In order to provide one tree per 30 linear feet of horizontal building face, prowde additional
5-foot by 5-foot tree wells (Exhibit B).
• Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the proposal subject to •
modifications
submittal of revised plans addressing the above

Members Present Stewart, McPhail, Henderson
Staff Planner Michael Smith
The applicant presented revised plans The Committee recommended approval of the protect to the
Planning Commission subtect to the following
Add ledgestone to the "column" on the north elevation because of its high visibility to Foothill
Boulevard,
Use vanous tree speaes m identified locations, specifically at the south and west sides of the
budding), to avoid interference with the visibility of signs, and
Revise the Landscape Plan to incorporate a greater vanety and quantity of plants and trees
The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff to resolve these issues

BACKGROUND
Project File: Development Review DRC2004-01126
2. Related Files: DR99-11, DRCDR99-11MOD, and SUBTPM15630
3. Description of Protect: DRC2004-01126 - PANATTONI DEVELOPMENT- A request to construct
a single-story budding of about 5,800 square feet that will be comprised of a mix of retail uses on
1 23-acre of vacant land in the Industrial Park Distract, Subarea 7, located at the south side of
Foothill Boulevard about 350 feet east of Mayten Street - APN 0229-011-85 Staff has found the
protect to be within the scope of a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaraticn and Mitigation
Monitoring Program adopted by the Planning Commission on April 28, 1999, and June 28, 2000,
respectively, and a Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning Commission on
February 13, 2002 This protect does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already
considered in the previous Negative Declarations Related Files DR99-11, DRCDR99-11MOD
and SUBTPM15630
The 1 23-acre infili site is within the master-planned Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park, a
140-acre commercial and industrial complex located at the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard
and Milliken Avenue The design of the protect is in compliance with the approved Master Plan
(Development Review DR99-11 and Development Review DRC99-11MOD) A Mitigated Negative
Declaration was adopted for the original Master Plan in April of 1999 Subsequently, in June of
2000, a Mitigation Monitoring Program was adopted by the Planning Commission for the original
Master Plan (DR99-11) In February of 2002, a Negative Declaration was adopted for modification
to the original Master Plan (DRCDR99-11MOD) and the corresponding parcel map for this site and
the surrounding area (SUBTPM15630) The protect will be requred to implement all pertinent
mitigation measures adopted in the previous Negative Declarations, thereby, ensuring that any
potential impacts of the protect will remain less-than-significant
The Master Plan for the 140-acre site includes a Congestion Management Program/Traffic Impact
Analysis (CMPlTIA) The approval of the Master Plan included a Mitigation Monitoring Program,
including mitigation of traffic-related impacts, which apply to all protects within the Master Plan
The proposed protect site is not located within an area known to be potential habitat for the Delhi
Sands flower-loving fly (DSF), and is about 1,500 feet away from any areas that have been
identified as potential habdat far the DSF A portion of the 140-acre Rancho Cucamonga Corporate
Park, approximately 2,000 feet to the west of the protect site, is within potential habitat for the DSF
A Habitat Assessment survey for the DSF was performed for a portion of the Corporate Park
Master Plan (west of Milliken Avenue) known to contain potential habitat The results of the survey
were negative, and the Corporate Park lacks the required Delhi-soils that provide appropriate
habitat for the fly

DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation
(/) I find that although the proposed protect could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects 1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION purs t to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earls or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imp n the oposed protect, nothing furth/er~is regw,r~ed-•

ANALYSIS:
A. General• To meet the regwrement for at least two primary exterior budding materials, the
applicant has designed the building with smooth concrete and natural stone. All elevations
exhibit 360-degree architecture and wall movement providing relief and visual interest. The
proposed protect on the 316-acre site meets or exceeds all development standards of the
Industrial Park District (Subarea 6). The proposed protect meets or exceeds the number of
parking stalls regwred for the proposed use.
B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the site, budding
elevations, materials, and conceptual landscaping on August 16, 2005, (Exhibit G). The
Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Henderson) recommended approval of the protect as proposed.
C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the protect
August 16, 2005, and recommended approval subfect to the Standard Conditions outlined in the
resolution of approval.
D Environmental Assessment: The applicant completed Part 1 of the Initial Study. City staff
completed Part II and the Environmental Checklist. Staff concluded that the protect could have
significant adverse environmental impacts to short-term air and water quality during site
preparation and construction activities. Short-term impacts to air and water quality would result
from grading, egwpment exhaust, erosion, and water runoff. Mitigation measures will be required
to reduce impacts to short-term air and water quality. The mitigation measures will reduce these
impacts to a less than significant level. If the Commission concurs, then issuance of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration would be in order
RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review
DRC2005-00109 by the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issuance of
a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7 00 p m Louis Le Blanc August 16, 2005
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTAND DEVELOPMENTREVIEW DRC2005-00109-NEWPORT
REAL ESTATE SERVICES - A request to construct atwo-story office bwlding of approximately
25,000 square feet on 3 16 acres in the Haven Avenue Overlay District and Industrial Park District
(Subarea 6), located at southeast comer of Haven Avenue and Arrow Route - APN: 0209-491-01.
Design Parameters• This site has had three previous office budding approvals, all with similar site
plan arrangement of two-story bwldings at the comer with parking behind. Haven Avenue and
Arrow Route are designated as Special t3oulevards by the General Plan and should receive speaal
design, including meandering sidewalks, berms, and informal tree clusters. Along Arrow Route,
meandering sidewalks are not possible because right-tum lane/bus bay and berming may not be
feasible because of the grade differential (the site is feet 3 to 4 feet below the street) The budding
access from both streets is via shared driveways with adjoining twin office bwldings. The applicant
is proposing a 10-car carport in the first parking row on the south side of the budding
The concrete tilt-up budding has extensive blue reflective glass (same as the adjoining budding to
the south), and 12-inch by 12-inch Arizona file veneer as the second primary bwlding material. The
outdoor employee eating area, located at the southeast comerof the building, features an overhead
steel tube and cable trellis.
Staff Comments• The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion
Major Issues None The applicant has worked diligently with staff to address all mator issues
Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1 Provide bus shelter on Arrow Route, outside the public right-of-way, with complimentary
architecture
2 Plant climbing vine, such as wisteria, on the outdoor employee eating area overhead trellis or
plant more canopy trees for shade
3 Carport elevations were not provided The carport should be designed compatible with the
architectural theme of the office budding. Standard metal post and metal roof "flimsy,"
"stick-like" carport designs are not desirable.
4. An unspecified "enhanced paving" at the budding entry is shown on the Conceptual
Landscape Plan. Staff recommends a washed aggregate or sandblasted natural color
concrete finish, or decorative pavers that compliment the earth tones of the building.
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval with the above items as conditions.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: () () () (/)
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, () () () (/)
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual 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 protect site; however, the site is
within a view corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15. The protect has been
designed with building setbacks and landscaping consistent with the General Plan pollees .
and City design standards for Haven Avenue. No impact anticipated
b) The protect site contains no scenic resources and no histonc buildings within a State
Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga.
c) The property is surrounded to the north and south by existing industrial/office buildings
and to the east and west by vacant land The visual quality of the area will not degrade as
a result of this protect. Design review is required prior to approval. City standards require
the developer to underground existing and new utility Imes and facilities to minimize
unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility 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 secunty lighting used in the
immediate vicinity The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on Site Plans,
which require review for consistency with City 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 Pnme Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitonng Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural

c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (/)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance The property is surrounded to the north and south by existing
industrial/office buildings and to the east and west by vacant land 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 Plan Table IV-2 The
mayor 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 farmlands 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
Report (FEIR) identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a sigrnficant
unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding 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) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City
c) The property is surrounded to the north and south by existing industrial/office buildings
and to the east and west by vacant land The nearest agricultural use is more than
1/4 mile south from the project site Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated

Comments:
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6), 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 Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Counal The proposed protect 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
construction 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 protect site,
smaller particles would remain m the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the
surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry m 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 again.
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 m the region. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and egwpment emissions are required
to be assessed by the South Coast Air 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) Atl 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 Rule 403 requirements.
Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul 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 [RWQCB]) daily to reduce
Fine Particulate Matter (PM,g) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD
Rule 403.
7) 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,g emissions.
13) 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-teen construction air
quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section
5 6) Based upon the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) model estimates in
Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases
(ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
significance, therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on
a protect basis to a level less-than-significant The General Plan FEIR identified the
citywide increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a
Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council
In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant
operational vehicle emissions based upon the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table
5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they

cannot be mitigated 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) All 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) All 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.
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 Overriding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would contribute
to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards The General Plan FEIR identified the atywide increase in emissions as a
significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding 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 SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors long-term health care faalities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic
facilities. According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant
impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 The protect site is not located within
1/4 mile of a sensitive receptor Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the
Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan.
e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors No adverse impacts are
anticipated

Comments:
a) The property is located within an area defined as Delhi soils that is assocated with the
Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (DSF). The protect site is surrounded to the north and south
by existing industrial/office buildings and to the east and west by vacant land. The site
has been previously disrupted during rough grading, construction of infrastructure and
surrounding developments/annual disang for weed abatement. A Habitat Suitability
Assessment was prepared by LSA Assocates (Denise D. Woodard, Senior Biologist, LSA,
March i6, 2005) This field survey found that the soils are highly compacted and gravelly
The vegetation on the property consists of sparse non-native grasslands, including
Mediterranean schismus, short-podded mustard, red-stemmed filaree, and Spanish clover
The study concluded that "because the project site is isolated from known occupied DSF
habitat, and does not contain soil or vegetative components of known occupied DSF
habitat, the habitat on the proposed protect site is considered unsuitable for DSF "
b) No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the protect 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 matonty of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting
any wildlife corridors that may have existed. N2ogadverse impacts are anticpated

plans will occur.
5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () () (/)
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a histoncal resource as defined in
§ 15064 5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (/) () ( )
significance of an archeological resource pursuant
to § 15064 5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique () (/) () ( )
paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred () () () (/)
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments•
a) The protect 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 protect site;
however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native
Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 511). 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) If 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. With 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 poin'tI.

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
deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 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 Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2, therefore,
the following mitigation measures shall be implemented
2) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction field survey of the
project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also
provide specific 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:
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. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading
contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor
of the find.
Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County
Museum.

earthquakes, is 10 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong
ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Budding Code wdl ensure that geologic impacts
are less than significant.
b) The proposed protect will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site
soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subfect 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
protect under the 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 mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to
less-than-signficant levels.
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with
SCA~MD 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 soil
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 SCA~MD and RW~CB) 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 agwfer. The protect would not
withdraw water from the existing aquifer. The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous
area or other unstable geologic unit or sod type according to General Plan FEIR Figure
5 1-2 Sod types on-site consist of Delhi Fine Sand Sod association according to General
Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. No adverse impacts are antiapated
d) The malonty of Rancho Cucamonga, including the protect site, is located on alluvial sod
deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on-site
consist of Delhi Fine Sand Sod association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and
General Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. These sods are typically Delhi Fme Sand. No adverse
impacts are anticipated.
e) The protect wdl connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for
wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed.

Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act The
General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial
activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES Permit The State Water
Resource Control Board (SWRCB), through the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board (RWQCB), administers these permits.
Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction Permit include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment Prior to commencement of construction of a protect, a
discharger 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 speafy 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 protect for new development or significent redevelopment requires an
NPDES permit Construction protect proponents are required to prepare a SWPPP To
comply with the NPDES, the construction contractor of the protect will be required to
prepare a 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 Damon Engineering, February 1, 2005,
that identifies BMPs to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded sods, 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 storm 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 Actrvrties
1) Prior to issuance of Grading Permits, the permit applicant shall submit to
Building Official for approval a 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.

2) 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.
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.
5) Granular materials will be used at walkway areas.
Post- Construction Operational
6) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality
Management Plan (WQMP) prepared by Danjon Engineering to reduce
pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum
extent practical.
7) 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 from 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 will not deplete groundwater
supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it 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 will require the grading of the site and excavation, however, would
not affect the existing aquifer, 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 facilities.

construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance
with above noise standards or halted.
•
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment, however, do not address the potential impacts because of the
transport of construction materials and debris The following mitigation measures shall
then be required.
6) 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 within an Airport Land Use Plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport Located approximately 6 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north
of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 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,
through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?

Comments•
a) The protect 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 protect 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 hired from within the City or surrounding communities. No
impacts are anticipated
b) The protect site contains no existing housing units No adverse impact expected
c) The protect site is vacant land. No impacts are anticipated
13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in
substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered governmental
faal~ties, need for new or physically altered governmental
faal~t~es, the construction of which could cause s~gn~ficant
environmental impacts, in order to ma~ntam acceptable
service ratios, response Mmes or other performance () () () (~)

a) Fire protection
b) Police protectton~ O O O (`~)
c) Schools O O O (~)
d) Parks O O O (~)
e) Other public facddies7 O O O (~)
Comments:
a) The site, located at Haven Avenue and Arrow Route, would be served by a fire station
located approximately 1 1/4 mile from the protect site. The protect will not require the
construction of any new faalities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new faalities Standard
Conditions of Approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the
protect so no impacts to fire services will occur. No impacts are anticipated
b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the protect will not change the
pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the protect site is within an area that is regularly patrolled.
c) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Cucamonga School District and the
Chaffey Joint Union High School District The protect will be required to pay School Fees
as prescribed by State law pnor to the issuance of bwlding permits. No impacts are
anticipated

d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located 1/2 mile from the protect site The protect 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 A Standard
Condition of Approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No
impacts are anticipated
e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The protect 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 Cumulative
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 the 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 which a Statement of Overnding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council. The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for
which the EIR was prepared and impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General
Plan, the City has planned a new library within the Victona 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 pro/ect: () () () (/)
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 protect include recreational faalities or () () () (/)
require the construction or expansion of recreational
facilities, which might have an adverse physical
effect on the environment
Comments•
a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The
nearest park is located 1/2 mile from the protect site. This protect is not proposing any
new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of
parks or other recreational facilities. A Standard Condition of Approval will require the
developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated.

a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in
relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of
the street system (i e , result in a substantial
increase in either the number of vehicle taps, the

f) Result in inadequate parking capacity O O O (/)
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs () () () (/)
supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus
turnouts, bicycle racks)?
Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed protect will generate 463 vehicle tnps daily. The
proposed protect includes the development of a 25,500 square foot office building. The
Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that office land use will generate 18 14
average daily taps per each 1,000 square feet. 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 protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the
FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The protect is in an area that is mostly
developed with street improvements existing or included in protect design The protect will
not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or
congestion at intersections. The protect 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 bwlding permits. Fees are
used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No
impacts are anticipated
b) The protect will generate 60 two-way peak hour taps, which is less than 250 two-way peak
hour trips for non-retail or 1,000 two-way peak hour trips for retail land use, therefore, is
below the threshold of the San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) criteria

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE () () () (,~)
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate
important examples of the mator periods of
California history or prehistory
b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (~)
limited, but cumulatively considerable
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the
incremental effects of a protect are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past
protects, the effects of other current protects, and
the effects of probable future protects)
c) Does the protect have environmental effects that will () () () (~)
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly
Comments•
a) The site is 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 the Biological Assessment provided, 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 required to develop
the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001
General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of
Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental
effects of build-out in the City and Sphere of Influence The City made findings that
adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate
resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and
aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these
resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As
such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of
development under the General Plan Update against the significant 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 pedestnan 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 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 m this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels

Project Description: A request to construct atwo-story office budding of approximately 25,000
square feet on 3.16 acres in the Haven Avenue Overlay Distract and Industrial Park District
(Subarea 6).
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 Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the prolect plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated 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 prolect, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the Clty of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-

Staff Report
DATE: September 28, 2005
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Dan Coleman, Acting Clty Planner
BY: Vance Pomeroy, Contract Planner
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF CITY PLANNER'S DENIAL OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW -
DRC2005-00242 - NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS - A REQUEST TO
CO-LOCATE ON AN EXISTING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON TOWER
NORTH OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND WEST OF DAY CREEK
• BOULEVARD ON LAND ZONED OPEN SPACE - APN: 0227-053-30.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends upholding the decision of the Clty Planner and
denying the appeal of the applicant based on the findings contained in the accompanying draft
resolution.
BACKGROUND• On March 17, 2005, Nextel Communications filed an application requesting a
Minor Development Review for a stealth Wireless Communications Facility at a Southern
California Edison (SCE) four-legged lattice tower close to Foothill Boulevard.
The proposed installation consists of three, four-antenna arrays mounted 40 feet high on the
tower and an equipment enclosure surrounded by a 10-foot high wall under the base of the
tower. The 154-foot tower is approximately 70 feet north of Foothill Boulevard on a SCE
property that abuts the west side of the Day Creek Flood Control Channel. The tower is plainly
visible from Foothill Boulevard, a street that is designated by the General Plan as a Special
Boulevard.
The City Planner reviewed the application, and planning staff met the applicants
representatives at the protect site to discuss solutions to the shortcomings of the proposal. Not
finding adequate resolution, the City Planner determined that the proposal did not meet the
requirements of the Wireless Communications Facilities chapter of the Development Code and
fell short of the City's goals for Foothill Boulevard. The protect was denied by the City Planner
on July 21, 2005. Nextel Communications flied a timely appeal on August 1, 2005.
The applicant's representatives and representatives of SCE met with the City Planner and staff
on August 17, 2005, to further discuss alternative solutions to the Installation and methods
available to meet the requirements of the Development Code. The applicant responded with a
revised proposal on August 31, 2005, with a 6-foot high block wall set approximately 13 feet

from Foothill Boulevard and minimal landscaping. After staff review of this revision, it was
determined that it still falls short of the standards set in the Development Code and the General
Plan.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: "Our community design expectations reflect a critical philosophy
regarding community development: We are in this for the long run, not just what may be
expedient now. Our commitment is not only to the right uses, but to their exceptional quality as
well,° notes our General Plan adopted in 2001. The General Plan recognizes the importance of
Foothill Boulevard, not only as our mafor east-east artery, but Route 66 as a major historical
element; hence, the street was designated as a °Special Boulevard.° Travel routes within our
community are further described by the General Plan as °an important way of expenenang the
City. Roadways m particular are also a means of organizing land uses, welcoming and directing
visitors and establishing a consistent and aesthetically pleasing image through landscape and
streetscape design. The General Plan identrfies several guiding design principles, including the
importance of landscaping "as an important aesthetic and unifying element." Therefore, Foothill
Boulevard was designated as a Speaal Boulevard, which incorporates extensive landscape
setback areas. More specifically, the General Plan policy for travel routes is to °ensure that
streetscape design along roadways creates a strong landscaped edge, provides a coherent
high-quality appearance along each route, and enhances the image of adfacent development.'
More detailed design plans were implemented that address Foothill Boulevard, including the .
Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (now Chapter 17.32 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code). Subarea 4 of the Foothill Boulevard Distract runs along this portion of the street and is
affected by any work conducted at the subject site. Among the objectroes of the Foothill
Boulevard Distract, are the aims both to create a coherent streetscape system that is functional
and attractive and to eliminate visually objectionable views. Most recently, the Foothill
Boulevard Historic Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan was adopted by City Council on January
16, 2002.
Consistent with these goals, staff recommends full frontage improvement of the Edison
transmission corridors, including a screen wall and landscaping. The original and revised
proposals do not provide for suffiaent landscape improvements on the project site and leave the
egwpment shelter exposed to view along Foothill Boulevard. While the revised proposal does
provide some screening, the wall does not provide that screening high enough or long enough
to adequately block the objectionable view. This section of Foothill Boulevard represents a
significant gap in the coherent streetscape called for in the Development Code and General
Plan which is not served by the original or revised proposals.
In addition, the revised proposal does not meet the minimum or average setback regwrements
of 30 feet and 45 feet, respectively, partially caused by SCE's regwrement for a clearance of 50
feet around the tower. The proposed wall is approximately 13 feet from the curb at Foothill
Boulevard. The applicant indicated no desire to apply for a variance for this setback deficiency.
Environmental Assessment: This project, as identified m the accompanying Resolution, is
categorically exempt from the regwrements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
of 1970, as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15303
of the State CEQA Guidelines.

CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public heanng in the Inland Valley Dadv
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners
within a 300-foot radius of the project site.
CONCLUSION: The applicant worked with staff to try to mold a solution for both Nextel and the
City but were unable to find a resolution that met the goals of the City and allow the addition to
the applicant's network.

Dear Miss Mueller.
The Minor Development Review process for the above-described project has been completed. The City
Planner has reviewed your request for compliance with the provisions of the Development Code.
I hereby spec~cally find as follows:
i 1. The application appiles to vacant property that contains an electrical transmission tower within
approximately 65 feet of Foothill Boulevard.
2. The application proposes the installation of three sets of antennas onto an existing electrical
transmission tower.
3. The application proposes the construction of an equipment shelter under the elecVical transmission
tower and enclosed by a 10-foot high wall.
4. The proposed location is inappropriate and injures the physical advantages of the orderly planning of
Foothill Boulevard contrary to Sec. 17.02.010.C RCMC.
5 resource along Foothill iBouleOverd contrarylt Secs 17.16.020 RCMC use and Impairs the natural view
6. The proposed project impairs the aesthetic environment on Foothill Boulevard by blocking views and
introducing an incongruous element prominently to the streetscape. The prominence of the existing
lattice tower is made more intense by the introduction of the equipment shelter under its base.
7. The selected site detracts from the appearance of the City by being located where existing topography,
vegetation, buildings, or other structures provide no screening and where the provision of new
screening will not mitigate the visual impact of the installation because of its close proximity to Foothill
Boulevard (Sec.17.26.030.A RCMC).
8. The equipment is not visually compatible with the surrounding buildings and cannot be screened
sufficiently with landscaping. (Sec.17.26.030.B).
9. Foothill Bouievard is a Special Boulevard per Table III-24 of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan.

provide for design objectives for Foothill Boulevard to provide attractive streetscapes. The proposed
project compromises the attractive appearance of Foothill Boulevard by introducing an incongruous
element
Based upon the specific findings of facts set forth above, I hereby find and conclude as follows:
1. That the proposed project is not consistent with the objectives of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located.
2. That the proposed project together with the conditions applicable thereto, will be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed project is not in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. That the proposed project is not consistent with the General Plan.
The request has been dented. This decision shall be final following a 10-day appeal period beginning with
the date of this letter. Appeals must be filed in writing with the Planning Commission Secretary, state the
reason for the appeal, and be accompanied by a $1,537 appeal fee.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga provides flexible guidelines for the governance of wireless communications
facilities, which recognize the unique characteristics of the City. As this project is a response to a technical
need for the wireless network, it may be appropriate to explore other installation sites away from Foothill
Boulevard that still maintain a high quality appearance and meet the objectives and criteria in Chapter 17.28,
Wireless Communlcatlons Facilities, RCMC.
Please note that following the denial of a Minor Development Review application, no application for the same
or substantially the same project design on the same or substanflaly the same sfte may be filed within one
year of the date of denial (Sec. 17.06.020.G RCMC)
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact project planner, Vance Pomeroy, at
(909) 477-2750, Monday through Thursday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

objectionable wews along Foothill Boulevard "Our community design expectations reflect a critical
philosophy regarding community development. We are in this for the long run, notjustwhat maybe
expedient now Our commitment is not only to the right uses, but to their exceptional quality as well,
says our General Plan adopted in 2001 The General Plan recognizes the importance of Foothill
Boulevard, not only as our major east-east artery but Route 66 as a major historical element; hence,
the street was designated as a special boulevard." The travel routes within our community are
further described by the General Plan as °an important way of experiencing the City.° Roadways in
particular, are also a means of organizing land uses, welcoming and directing visitors, and
establishing a consistent and aesthetically pleasing image through landscape and streetscape
design The General Plan identifies several gwding design principles, including the importance of
landscaping "as an important aesthetic and unifying element." Therefore, Foothill Boulevard was
designated as a special boulevard, which incorporates extenswe landscape setback areas. More
specifically, the General Plan policy for travel routes is to "ensure that streetscape design along
roadways creates a strong landscaped edge, provides a coherent high-quality appearance along
each route, and enhances the image of adjacent development.°
e. More detailed design plans were implemented which addresses Foothill Boulevard,
including the Foothill Boulevard Speafic Plan (now Chapter 17.32 of Rancho Cucamonga Mumapal
Code). Subarea 4 of the Foothill Boulevard Distract runs along this portion of the street and is
affected by any work conducted at the subject site. Among the objectives of the Foothill Boulevard
District are the aims both to create a coherent streetscape system that is functional and attractive,
and to eliminate visually objectionable views. Most recently, the Foothill Boulevard Historic Route 66
Visual Improvement Plan was adopted by City Council on January 16, 2002; and
f. The proposed project does not meet the minimum or average setback requirements
of 30 feet and 45 feet, respectively. The proposed wall is approximately 13 feet from the curb at
Foothill Boulevard; the applicant did not apply for a variance.
12. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. That the proposed project is not consistent with the objectives of the Development
Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
b. That the proposed project together with the conditions applicable thereto, will be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the wcirnty.
c. That the proposed project is not in compliance with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code.
d. That the proposed project is not consistent with the General Plan.
13. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, through 12, above,
this Commission hereby denies the appeal of the applicant and upholds the decision of the City
Planner denying the application.

ANALYSIS'
A General This application is for a new religious assembly campus to be constructed m
phases on a vacant 3 6-acre site at the southwest corner of Banyan Street and Haven
Avenue
Phase 1A is the subtect of an approved Minor Development Review request
(DRC2005-00530) and is for the parking lot only The parking lot is designed to
accommodate the assembly/worship space for either phase at 172 spaces,
Phase 16 is for the two-story multi-purpose budding, which wdl contain worship
space until the development of the next phase,
Phase 2 is the Sanctuary Budding, which is provided especially for worship space; and
Phase 3 is a final one-story multi-purpose budding.
The proposed grading of the property would place the budding pad grades approximately
16 feet below Banyan Avenue, approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the
houses to the west
B. Desion Review Committee The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the
protect on August 2, 2005, and recommended approval subject to the addition of windows
on the easterly elevation of Phase 1 B and a revision m the plant palette for the landscape
plan
C Technical Review Committee The Committees reviewed the project and recommended
approval subtect to the conditions outlined in the attached Draft Resolution of Approval.
D Neiohborhood Meetma A neighborhood meeting was held on January 6, 2005. One
neighbor attended the meeting and expressed some concern over pnvacy and lighting
The applicant was able to address those issues to the neighbor's satisfaction

E Environmental Assessment The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study Staff
completed Part II of the Initial Study in consultation with outside sources and found that
there could be significant adverse environmental impacts on short-term air quality,
hydrology, noise, and cultural resources during the site preparation Mitigation measures
will be required to reduce these impacts to aless-than-significant level The protect will
also have an impact upon biological resources because of the removal of on-site heritage
trees under the previously approved Tree Removal Permit DRC2005-00550 The
Resolution of Approval contains conditions requinng the replacement of the windrow along
the southerly property line as specified in the environmental mitigations If the Planning
Commission concurs, then an issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in
order
F Variance Facts for Findings The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a budding
height greater than 35 feet The Variance has been requested to allow the 58-foot height
assoaated with the roof gables that exceed the 35-foot height limit of the zone (Exhibit E).
The impact of the additional 14 feet 6 inches of height is slightly reduced by the grade of
the budding pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the
west More importantly, the height impact is significantly addressed by plotting the
budding 100 feet away from the nearest home to the west A budding separation of 100
feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected in the Low Residential District If the
church property had been developed with single-family homes, the regwred side yard
. setback would have been 5 feet, therefore, a typical two-story home would have had far
greater casual impact upon its neighbor As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional
height is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet below street The following
are facts to support these findings.
1 Findin ,That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speafied
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code
FacUs The applicant has requested flexibility with the regwred wall height in
order to better provide an attractive architectural design
2 Findin 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 district
FacUs~ The project site is extraordinary because of its relative size in this
neighborhood and the grade differences provided by the site design
3 Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speafied
regulation would deprave the applicant of prmleges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district
FacUs Without the Variance, the project would be depraved of privileges enjoyed
by other owners within the same district in developing single-family
• residences with substantially smaller setbacks The proposed building
height is consistent proportionally with surrounding properties with
consideration to the property size

4 Findm That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of specal
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties or
improvements m the viamty
FacUs. Because the location of the site and its urnque size m the neighborhood
as well as the site design proposed, no special privilege is granted with
the Vanance.
5 Fmdin That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially mlunous to properties or
improvements in the wamty.
FacUs• Granting of the Vanance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or be materially mlurious to properties or improvements
m the vicinity. On the contrary, granting of the variance will provide
substantially more privacy and light and ventilation for the surrounding
single-family uses than the construction of single-family houses on the
subject site
Based on the above analysis, staff believes that there are sufficient facts to support the
findings
CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Vallev Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 300-foot radius of the protect site.
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval through adoption of the attached

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2004-01058 -
SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH - A request to construct a new 78,140 square
foot church sanctuary and related faalities, to be constructed in phases, on 3.8 acres of land in the
Low Residential Distnct (2-4 dwelling units per acre)", located at the southwest comer of Haven
Avenue and Banyan Street-APN: 0201-821-51. Related Fde. Variance DRC2005-00278.
VARIANCE DRC2005-00278 -SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH -A requestto
allow height of 58 feet in lieu of the maximum allowed of 35 feet in conjunction with construction ofa
new 78,140 square foot church sanctuary and related facilities on 3.8 acres of land in the Low
Residential Distnct (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue
and Banyan Street-APN• 0201-821-51. Related Fde: Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-01058.
Design Parameters: This application is for a new religious assembly campus to be constructed in '
phases on a vacant 3.6-acre site at the southwest corner of Banyan Street and Haven Avenue:
Phase 1A is the subtect of a current Minor Development Review request (DRC2005-00530)
and is for the parking lot only. The parking lot ~s designed to accommodate the
assembly/worship space for either phase at 172 spaces;
• Phase 1 B is for thetwo-story multi-purpose building, which will contain worship space until the
development of the next phase;
• Phase 2 is the Sanctuary Budding, which is provided especially for worship space;
• Phase 3 is a final one-story multi-purpose building.
The proposed grading of the property would place the building pad grades approximately 16 feet
below Banyan Avenue, approximately 3 to 8 feet below the rear yards of the houses to the west
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Architecture -Allowing religious assembly as a conditional use in almost all zones allows great
flexibility for such uses to find appropriate sites and to integrate the uses in different places in
the community, while on the other hand, allowing for acase-by-case review to assure that the
use is compatible with the neighborhood both operationally and physically. In review of the
architectural design aspects of the project, the architecture is ostensibly patterned after the
gables of the existing church building, across Banyan Street, that echo the peaks of the San
Gabriels beyond However, the steep roof pitches on a budding of this scale present a
massive structure in this largely single-family residential neighborhood. A Variance has been •
requested to allow the 49-foot, 6-inch height associated with the roof gables that exceeds the
35-foot height limit of the zone (see attached). The impact of the additional 14 feet, 6 inches
of height is slightly reduced by the grade of the budding pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet below
p~Ea~

the rear yards of the houses to the west. More importantly, the height impact is significantly
addressed by plotting the building 100 feet away from nearest home to the west. A budding
separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected in the Low Residential
Distract If the church property had been developed with single-family homes, the required side
yard setback would have been 5 feet; therefore, a typical 2-story home would have had far
greater visual impact upon its neighbor. As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional height
is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet below street
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. There will be no crosswalks across Banyan Street between the existing church location and
the subject property other than the one at the comer of Haven Avenue, and there are no
entrances on the north (Banyan Street) side of the proposed new structure, however, some
concern remains for pedestrian safety at the driveways which match up from the existing
parking lot to the new parking lot
Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. The parking lot landscaping requirements of Sec. 17.12 030.A.11 are for "at least one
15-gallon minimum size tree foreach three parking stalls "There appears to be enough trees
on the site, but the minimum number of trees from this calculation must be placed in the
. parking area rather than at any place on the development site. Dimension for verification.
2. The parking lot screening requirements of Sec. 17.12 030.A.10, RCMC are required for
screening regardless of whetherthe stalls point out toward the street The requirement allows
for alternate and combinations of screening matenals, including berths and planting. See the
code section to determine which will work best for this situation.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Design Review Committee continue this item to
allow the applicant the opportunity address the concerns of the Committee.

Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present. McPhail, Stewart, Coleman
Staff Planner. Vance Pomeroy
The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to the following:
1. Add windows to the lwo flanking masses on the east elevation of Phase 1 B.
2. Revise the Landscape Plan:
a. Match the plant palette with the north side of Banyan Avenue;
• b. Increase the variety of shrub types away from the ubiquitous ones (Rhaphiolepis, etc.)
shown on the plan;
c. Re-consider the use of both the Lombardy Poplar trees (invasive roots and high water
need) and the Chinese Wistena ground coverwith substituting more appropriate species
for their application. D £ ~ oZ

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the prolect
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? () () () (~)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but () () () (~)
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual 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 prolect site. The site is not within
a view corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15.
b) The prolect 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 site is located at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street and is
characterized by single-family residential development to the north, east, and west with
multiple family residential development to the south. The visual quality of the area will not
degrade as a result of this prolect In review of the architectural design aspects of the
prolect, the architecture is ostensibly patterned after the gables of the existing church
building, across Banyan Street, that echo the peaks of the San Gabriels beyond.
However, the steep roof pitches on a bwiding of this scale present a massive structure in
this largely single-family residential neighborhood. A Variance has been requested to
allow the 49-foot 6-inch height associated with the roof gables, which exceeds the 35-foot
height limit of the zone (see attached) The impact of the additional 14 feet 6 inches of
height is slightly reduced by the grade of the building pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet
below the rear yards of the houses to the west More importantly, the height impact is
significantly addressed by plotting the building 100 feet away from nearest home to the
west. A building separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected in
the Low Residential District If the church property had been developed with single-family
homes, the required side yard setback would have been 5 feet, therefore, a typical 2-story
home would have had a far greater visual impact upon its neighbor As viewed from
Banyan Street, the additional height is completely offset by the pad grade lowered 16 feet
below the street
City standards require the developer to underground the existing and new utility lines and
facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in
accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No 87-96, unless exempted by said
Resolution
d) The prolect would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity The design and placement of the light fixtures will be shown on the
Site Plans which require review for consistency with City 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 prolect site The impact is not considered significant
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the pro/ect~
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () (~) ( )
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural uses
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (~)
Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (~)
which, due to their location or nature, could result m
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural uses
Comments•
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance. The site is at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Banyan
Street and is characterized bysingle-family residential development to the north, east, and
west with multiple family residential development to the south 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 Plan Table IV-2. The motor
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 farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and then
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 Overriding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council The proposed prolect 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 at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street and is
characterized by single-family residential development to the north, east and west with
multiple family residential development to the south The nearest agricultural use is more
than 0 5 mile northwest from the prolect site Therefore, no adverse impacts are
anticipated.
3. AIR DUALITY. Would the pro/ech
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the () () () (~)
applicable air quality plan
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute () (/) () ( )
substantially to an existing or protected air quality
violation?

Comments:
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6), 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 Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council The proposed protect 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
construction 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 protect 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 again
Therefore, the emissions associated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho
Cucamonga area and would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing air
quality in the region Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to
be assessed by the South Coast Air 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. The 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 protect. 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.
Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul 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 [RWC!CB]) daily to
reduce Fine Particulate Matter (PMig) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD
Rule 403.
7) 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~p 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.
• 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
carved over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of
construction.
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 on the Urban Emissions Model estimates in Table 5 6-4 of the General
Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Fine Particulate

Matter (PM,p) would exceed SCAOMD thresholds for significance, therefore, would all be
cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a protect basis to a level
less-than-significant The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions
as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council
In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant
operational vehicle emissions based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G)
estimates in Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, therefore, would all be cumulatively
significant if they cannot be mitigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-significant
The following mitigation measures shall be implemented
10) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
11) 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 citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council.
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would 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 and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding 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 SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors. long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic
facilities According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant
impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 According to the SCAOMD, protects
have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of
sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule
1401 The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impact to
less-than-significant levels

Comments•
a) The protect site is located m an area developed with residential uses. The site has been
previously disrupted during construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments
and annual discing for weed abatement According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3 and
Section 5 3 of the General Plan FEIR, the protect site is not within an area of sensitive
biological resources, therefore, development wdl not adversely affect rare or endangered
species of plants or animals because of the fact that the protect is surrounded by
urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan
b) The protect site is located in an urban area with no natural communities No riparian
habitat exists on-site, meaning the protect wdl not have any impacts.
c) No wetland habitat is present on-site As a result, protect implementation would have no
impact on these resources.
d) The matority of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting
any wildlife corridors that may have existed No adverse impacts are anticipated

the following mitigation measure is followed
1) A Tree Removal Permit was previously approved by the City Planner to
remove the Eucalyptus windrow. The windrow must be replaced in no less
than 5-gallon m size and no further apart khan 8 feet on center along the
southerly property line.
f) The protect site is not located within a conservation area according to the General Plan,
Open Space and Conservation Plan, Exhibit IV-4 No conflicts with habitat conservation
plans will occur

Comments•
a) The protect 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 protect site;
however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native
Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 511). 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) If 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. With 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.

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
deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the
Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last °Ice Age° and the
appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils The site
has been rough graded, hence, there is little likelihood that any paleontological resources
are present The protect site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit
V-2, therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered
before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific 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:
• 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. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading
contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor
of the find.
• Prepare, Identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the
summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San
Bernardino County Museum).
. • Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer the
collected specimens with a copy of the repoR to the San Bernardino
County Museum.

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 origin and disposition
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097 98. As adherence to State regulations
is required for all development, no mitigation Is required in the unlikely event human
remains are discovered on-site No adverse Impacts are anticipated.

earthquakes, is over 5 miles northeasterly of the site Each of these faults can produce
strong ground shaking Adhering to the Uniform Bwlding Code will ensure that geologic
impacts are less-than-significant
The proposed protect will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site
soils The Rancho Cucamonga area is subtect to strong Santa Ana wind conditions
during 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
protect under the 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 mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to
less-than-significant levels
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved
by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,B 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,B emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil
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,a 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 98 hours or
more to reduce PM,B emissions.
b) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated
with large decreases or withdrawals of water from the agwfer The protect would not
withdraw water from the existing aquifer The site is not within a geotechmcal 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 Green field Sandy Loam Soil assocation according to
General Pian FEIR Exhibit 5 1-3 No adverse impacts are anticipated
c) The malonty of Rancho Cucamonga, including the protect site, is located on alluvial sod
deposits These types of soils are not considered to be expansive Sod types on-site
consist of Green field Sandy Loam Soil association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3
and General Plan FEIR Exhibit 51-3 These soils are typically stable No adverse
impacts are anticipated
d) The protect will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for
wastewater disposal No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (riVWD).
Protect 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 Permit treats any construction activity over t acre as an industrial
activity, regwring 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 permit Include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment Prior to commencement of construction of a protect, a
discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General
Permit The General permit regwres all dischargers to comply with the following during
construction activities, Including site clearance and grading.
Develop and Implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SW PPP) 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

1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to
Budding Official 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.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in 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.
4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be perrormed
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.
5) Follow other specific BMPs from the revised Water l]uality Management Plan

6) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the WQMP prepared by
Associated Engineers, Inc. on October 5, 2004, to reduce pollutants after
construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent
practical.
7) 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 from ground
water in the Cucamonga and Chino Basins CVWD has adopted a Master Plan that
estimates demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed protect will not deplete
groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it 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 will require the grading of the site and excavation,
however, would not affect the existing aquifer, 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
facilities
c) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site, however, the protect will not alter the course of any stream or river
All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities that have been designed to
handle the flows The protect design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to
prevent erosion A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official
and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits Therefore, the pro/ect will not
result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site The impact is not considered
significant
d) The pro/ect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape

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 Official
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 anticipated

f) Grading activities associated with 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 with the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution The following
mitigation measures shall be implemented.
8) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City
Engineer for approval of a WOMP, 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 WOMP 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.
g) Prior to Issuance of grading or paving permits, 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 (l.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number)
shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES
General Construction Permit.
g) The protect site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General
Plan Exhibit V-5 No adverse impacts are expected.
h) The protect site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General
Plan Exhibit V-5 No adverse impacts are expected.
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 local drainage flows This existing
system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds,
concrete-lined channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Exhibit
V-6. The protect site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to
General Plan Exhibit V-5 No adverse impacts are expected
L
~) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the protect site, therefore impacts from
seiche and tsunami are not anticipated. 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 City

miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the
protect expose people residing or working in the
protect area to excessive noise levels
f) For a protect within the vicinity of a private avstrip, () () () (/)
would the protect expose people residing or working in
the protect area to excessive noise levels
Comments:
a) The protect site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Exhibit V-13 at build-out The proposed use is not identified as a Noise
Sensitive Receptor in the General Plan In a letter of March 7, 2005, consultants McKay
Conant Brook Inc ,report on their acoustical analysis of the protect Based on review of
the protect plans and noise level measurements in the field, the engineers concluded that
the sounds levels (59d6(A)) produced by traffic along Haven Avenue and CA-210
Freeway comply with the 60-CNEL limit set by the City Rancho Cucamonga
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 activihes will not significantly increase traffic, hence are not anticipated to
increase the ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the protect.
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, will
generate noise exceeding City 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

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.
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
Building Official. 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 well reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment, however, do not address the potential impacts because of the
transport of construction materials and debris The following mitigation measures shall
then be required.
4) 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 within an Airport Land Use Plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport Located approximately 5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north
of the flight path. No impact is anticipated

Comments•
a) The site, located at Haven Avenue and Banyan Street would be served by a fire station
located approximately 85 mile from the prolect site 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 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 required as the addition of the prolect will not change
the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the prolect site is within an area that is regularly patrolled.
c) The Alta Loma School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the
prolect area Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed
development A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the
School Impact Fees With this standard mitigation, impacts to the School Districts are not
considered signihcant
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The
nearest park is located 1 mile from the prolect site. 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. A standard
condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No
impacts are anticipated.
e) The proposed prolect will utilize existing public facilities The site is in 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 Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services.

FEIR identified the cumulative impact on library services as a significant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for
which the 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 protected need of
15,500 square feet at build-out of the City
14. RECREATION. Would the pro/ect

Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed protect will generate 602 average daily vehicle trips. The
proposed protect includes the development of a 78,140 square foot church. The Rancho
Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each thousand square foot will generate 7 7 trips
daily. 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 protect is
consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
The protect is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or
included in protect design The protect will not create a substantial increase in the number
of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The protect 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 Permits Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support
adequate traffic circulation No impacts are anticipated
b) The 78,140 square foot protect will generate 50 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) criteria for requiring a traffic impact
analysis The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each thousand square
feet will generate 5.28 two-way peak hour trips daily The protect is in an area that is
mostly developed with all street improvements existing The protect will not negatively
impact the level of service standards on adtacent arterials The protect 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 5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns No impacts are anticipated
d) The protect is in an area that is mostly developed The protect will be required to provide
street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. The
protect 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 protect will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles 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 protect will be conditioned to provide, features
supporting transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e g ,bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool
parking, etc ).

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) 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 mafor penods of California history or
prehistory?
b) .Does the protect have impacts that are indwidually () () () (/)
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
protect are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past protects, the effects of other
current protects, and the effects of probable future
protects)
c) Does the protect have environmental effects that will () () () (/)
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly
Comments•
a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the Cdy
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 speaes would inhabit the site.
b) Ii the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop
the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Pian The 2001
General Pian was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of
Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental
effects of bwld-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence The City made findings that
adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate
resources, prime farmland, 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 Clty adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balanang the benefits of
development under the General Pian Update against the signlilcant 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 With these findings and the Statement
of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is
regwred
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 identifies
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as hawng 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

and Banyan Street - APN. 0201-821-51.
Project Description: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2004-01058 -SHEPHERD OF THE
HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH - A request to construct a new 78,140 square foot church sanctuary
and related facilities, to be constructed m phases, on 3.8 acres of land m the Low Residential Distnct
(2-4 dwelimg units per acre). -
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 Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
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 Mitigated 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 proiect, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is 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 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax

. RESOLUTION NO 05-94
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
DRC2005-00278 TO ALLOW A BUILDING HEIGHT OF 58 FEET IN LIEU
OF THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED HEIGHT OF 35 FEET IN CONJUNCTION
WITH CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 78,140 SQUARE FOOT CHURCH
SANCTUARY AND RELATED FACILITIES ON 3 8 ACRES OF LAND IN
THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (2-4 DWELLING UNITS PERACRE),
LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HAVEN AVENUE AND
BANYAN STREET, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -
APN. 0201-821-51.
A. Recitals.
1. Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church filed an application for the issuance of Vanance
DRC2005-00278 as described in the title of this Resolution in contunction with Conditional Use
Permit DRC2004-01058. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subtect Vanance request is referred to
as "the application "
2 On the 28th day of September 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
on that date
3. All legal preregwsites pnor to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows•
1. This Commission hereby speafically finds that all of the facts set forth m the
Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearng on September 28, 2005, including wntten and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby speafically finds as follows•
a. The application applies to property located at the southwest comer of Haven
Avenue and Banyan Street with a street frontage of approximately 420 feet and lot depth of
approximately 375 feet, and is presently unimproved, and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is a religious assembly, the property to
the south consists of multiple-family residential, and the properties to the east and west are
single-family residential, and
c. The Variance has been requested to allow the 58-foot height associated with the
roof gables that exceed the 35-foot height limit of the zone. The impact of the additional 14 feet,
6 inches of height is slightly reduced by the grade of the building pad of approximately 3 to 8 feet
below the rear yards of the houses to the west. More importantly, the height impact is significantly
addressed by plotting the building 100 feet away from nearest home to the west. A budding
separation of 100 feet is ten times the 10 feet of separation expected m the Low Residential Distnct.
If the church property had been developed with single-family homes, the required side yard setback
would have been 5 feet, therefore, atypicaltwo-story home would have had far greater visual impact
upon its neighbor As viewed from Banyan Street, the additional height is completely offset by the
pad grade lowered 16 feet below the street.

3 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. Finding: That strict or literat interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship inconsistentwith the obtectives
of the Development Code.
FacUs The applicant has requested flexibility with the required wall
height in order to better provide an attractive architectural
design.
b. Findin That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved orto the intended
use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same district.
Facts: __ The project site is extraordinary because of its relative size in
this neighborhood and the grade differences provided by the
site design.
Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges
enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district
FacUs. Without the Variance, the project would be deprived of
privileges entoyed by other owners within the same district in
developing single-family residences with substantially smaller
setbacks. The proposed building height is consistent
proportionally withsurrouriding properties with consideration to
the property size.
d. Finding: That the granting of the Vanance will not constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
properties or improvements in the vanity.
FacUs. Because the location of the site and its unique size in the
neighborhood as well as the site design proposed, no special
privilege is granted with.the Vanance.
e Findin That the granting of the Vanance will not be detnmental to the
public health, safety, or welfare or materially intunous to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
FacUs. Granting of the Variance will not be detnmental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or be materially intunous to properties
or improvements in the vicinity On the contrary, granting of the
Vanance will provide substantially more privacy and light and
ventilation for the surrounding single-family uses than the
construction of single-family houses on the subtect site.

BACKGROUND: The original facility was constructed m 1916 as a public school. Several
bwldings were added to the site before the public school closed m 1958. In 1978 the property
was purchased and renovated for the operation of Willows School until it closed in
November 1981. On September 22, 1982, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit 82-19 for a garden office complex and preschool on the site. Since a school previously
operated on the site, a preschool was allowed on the site. The remaining four buildings were
used for the garden office complex. On May 9, 1984, the Planning Commission approved
Conditional Use Permit 84-07 allowing the conversion of one of the office buildings into a
church. On June 27, 2000, the City Planner approved the conversion of the site into Harvard
Place, a private elementary school that coexisted with the existing Montessori preschool.
On September 26, 2000, the City Planner approved Conditional Use Permit 00-29 for Advocate
Schools (now Keystone Education) located at 10287 25th Street. The approval was for up to
40 special education students. Keystone Education quickly outgrew that location, prompting the
school to relocate to a larger facility. On September 24, 2002, the City Planner approved
Conditional Use Permit application DRC2002-00610 to allow Keystone Education Schools to
locate to its current location. Currently, the school employs 46 teachers and staff and has
approximately 99 students and is fully operational with classroom, offices, and a cafeteria.
~~
This item was continued from the August 24, 2005, meeting to the September 28, 2005,
meeting to allow the Design Review Committee to review the proposal.

ANALYSIS'
A. General The applicant proposes to construct two temporary modular buildings to
accommodate the existing students for a four year, two-month time frame. The two, 1,440
square foot modulars will have two classrooms, an office, and a break room for
employees The long-term plan for the Keystone Education School is to occupy the
existing 5,644 square foot Montesson preschool (the tenant is leasing the building from
Keystone Education Schools) upon expiration of the lease on October 13, 2009 Per the
Development Code, the modulars must be removed within 5 years or upon completion of
permanent facility, whichever comes first The temporary modulars will be removed from
the site within thirty days of occupancy of the Keystone Education into the Montessori
School Budding.
Students are enrolled with Keystone Education by their respective school distract because
they have learning challenges, autism, and various physical, emotional, and mental
disabilities Keystone Education meets these needs by providing speaal instruction in a
structured, individualized environment. Keystone Education serves to prepare the
students for the eventual return to public school.
The applicant's hours of operation will continue to be 6 30 a m to 6 00 p m for the faality
and 7 30 a m and 4 30 p m for the school, Monday through Fnday. The school will also
continue to operate on a year round basis July through June for a regular school year and
extended school year programs Special events will continue to be held occasionally in
the evenings.
B Land Use Compatibility The premise of all Conditional Use Permit reviews is to ensure
the compatibility of adtacent uses and separation of potential nuisance activities Potential
land use compatibility issues may arse from the installation of the temporary modulars
and related outdoor activities As shown on the attached Site Utilization Map, the
temporary modulars will be located on the north portion of the site close to single-family
homes (Exhibit B) Development Code section 17 30 080E 5 allows properties abutting
the residential areas in industnal zones to have a minimum 45-foot budding setback from
the property line.
Although the temporary modulars will meet the required 45-foot minimum setback and
outdoor activities are limited to school hours, staff has concerns about adequate noise
attenuation and the safety of the students and the residential occupants. Presently, a
6-foot chain link fence is located along the northern property Ime, however, the dilapidated
condition of the fence coupled with the proposed location of school buildings will not
adequately address staffs concern To address this issue, staff requests that the Planning
Commission consider the applicant to install a 6-foot block wall along the northem
property line
. C Parking' The Development Code requires a total of 40 parking spaces on-site, including
the existing classrooms and Montesson preschool In addition, one space is required for
each additional van used for transportation. All students are transported daily to and from
F3

school via a fleet of vans, hence, the parking demand is low. With approximately 90
spaces provided, staff does not anticipate any parking conflicts to arise as a result of the
proposed use (Exhibit E).
D. Design Review Committee. The Design Review Committee (McPhail and Coleman)
reviewed the site and architecture plans on September 6, 2005, and the protect was
recommended for approval subiect to staff recommendations and conditions, particularly
the construction of the 6-foot block wall along the northerly property line as a buffer to the
nearby residences. The Committee recommended that the new wall be located only in the
area of the proposed modulars and associated playground, not the entire length of
property bne.
E. Environmental Assessment: The application is exempt per Section 15303 of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public heanng in the Inland Vallev Dadv
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 300-foot radws of the protect site. On August 1, 2005, staff received an m-person
inquiry regarding the nature of the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional
Use Permit DRC2005-00439 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7.30 p.m. Rozalynne Thompson September 6, 2005
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2005-00439 -KEYSTONE NPS, LLC - A request to install two
temporary modular classroom buildings for an existing school on 4.39 acres of land m the General
Industrial District (Subarea 4), located at 8968 Archibald Avenue - APN: 0209-171-15.
Design Parameters: The protect site is a 4.38-acre, rectangular-shaped parcel with five existing
bwldings that range in size from approximately 2,000 square feet to 5,644 square feet. Four
bwldings are grouped together on the eastern half of the site. The fifth budding is near the center of
the site. Single-family residences and atree-lined alley to the north, Archibald Avenue to the east, a
self-storage to the south, and a concrete manufacturing company to the west bound the project site.
Keystone School proposes to place two temporary modular buildings on the site to accommodate
existing students for approximatelyfour years and two months. The two 1,440 square foot modulars
will have two classrooms, an office, and a break room for employees. Keystone School's long-tens
plan is to occupy the existing 5,644 square toot Montessori preschool (the tenant is leasing the
budding from Keystone School) upon expiration of the lease on October 13, 2009. Six months prior
to the expiration of the lease with the Montessori school, an architect and contractor will be retained
for the expansion of relocation into the existing Montessori school. The temporary modulars will be
removed from the site within thirty days of Keystone School's occupancy of the Montessori school's
building.
The body and trim of the proposed modulars will match the earthtone color palette of the existing
buildings. Moreover, decorative pillars will be added to the fagade of the exteriorto match those on
the existing buildings.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this protect:
Protect Siting and Land Use CompatibiliM. As shown on the attached Site Utilization Map, the
temporary modulars will be located on the north portion of the site close to the single-family homes.
Development Code section 17.30.080 E.5 regwres that properties abutting residential areas in
industrial zones must be setback a minimum of 45 feet from the property line.
Although the temporary modulars will meet the required 45-foot minimum setback and outdoor
activities are limited to school hours, staff has concerns about adequate noise attenuation and the
safety of the students and privacy of adtacent residential occupants. The existing 6-foot chain link
fence is in a dilapidated condition and will not adequately address staff's concems. To address this
issue, staff requests that the Design Review Committee consider requiring the applicant to install a
6-foot block wall along the northern property line as a permanent improvement to separate the uses.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the project with the above listed conditions.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2004-00379 -FAMOUS DAVES RESTAURANT-A requestto
develop a 5,888 square foot Famous Dave's Restaurant, with a bar on 1.67 acres of land within
General Industrial District (Subarea 12), located on the north side of 4th Street, east of Pittsburgh
Avenue - APN: 0229-263-48. Related Fdes: Conditional Use Permit DRC2003-00770 and
Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16300.
Design Parameters:
The site is a part of the recently approved master plan DRC2003-00770 for three 4-story hotels:
Courtyard by Marriott; Hilton Garden Inn; and a Hilton Homewood Suftes. There are four restaurant
building pads (which will come under a separate entitlement), which will front along 4th Street and
total 22,111 square feet.
This 6,196 square foot project is the second restaurant to request a Conddonal Use Pennitto allow
a Bar and design review of the prolect. The elevations of the building are not richly designed and
could use significant improvement. The architectural materials consist of siding, a small amount of
• stonework, pftch metal seamed roofs, and a main entryway (which fronts 4th Street).
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project. The applicant has not sufficiently addressed staffs earlier recommendations.
The following are some further recommendations that would give the project a enhanced look:
1 previous y appAoved master plan, rCondittonal aUse Pehrmi nDRC2003-00770SIg Spe ~c
recommendations include:
Add a significant amount of stonework on all sides of the building (do not just add a
wainscot). Be very creative and "liberal" with the amount.
The north side of the building needs to mimic the south elevation along with
enhancements that should be on the south elevation.
If two customer °Take OuY windows are provided on the east elevation, why is there not
a sidewalk in front of them? If these are not customer order/pick-up windows, then
delete all 'Take OuY signs.
2. Landscaping -Staff recommends the following revisions:
Provide trees and shrubs around all four sides of the building. The proposed plan is
completely devoid of anything but ground cover in this area. Box size trees should be
provided at least at one tree per 30 linear feet of building elevation.
Provide combination of berms and continuous shrub row to screen parking areas from
public view.
Plant material should be selected that accents architecture, provides shade forcers, and
to create a natural foundational design element that °anchors° building to the site. Be
~~/~ /creative and design a pleasant, inviting environment.
~ ~ ~q
DRC AGENDA
DRC2004-00379 -FAMOUS DAVES RESTAURANT
July 6, 2004
Page 2
Provide accent trees along both sides of pedestrian connection to hotels.
Plan should identify specific tree species for various uses.
3, Site Plan -Staff recommends the following revisions:
Provide truck unloading zone (outside of drive aisles)
Patio dining area should be wrapped around to the front
Provide outdoor plaza area with public art or point of interest on the front of the building
area. This will create a gathering place for customers, as they wart to be seated. Also,
provide ample outside bench seating for customers waning for tables (the covered porch
west of entry is suggested).
4. Noise Attenuation -Provide noise study and design elements to mitigate traffic noise for the
outdoor patio dining area that is subject to noise levels exceeding City standards of 60/65dBA
(nighUday). For example, clear Lexan panels (similar to those at Romano's Macaroni Grill
Restaurant). Likewise, replace open metal railing surrounding patio wlth solid stonewall.
Second_ ary issues: The following broad design issues wdl be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Signs -Identify type and materials of two proposed wall signs. Are they individual channelized
letters with internal illumination?
2. Provide bicycle rack.
3. Parapets are to be high enough so as to screen all roof-mounted equipment
4. Transformers should be screened by decorative wall material which matches the architectural
material of the bwlding with landscaping in front of the screen wall.
5. All freestanding lighting standards (this includes outdoor furniture, trash receptacles, and
such) should be the same as the light standards for the entire master planed project.
Policv Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
f thhs perpmit pnroceuss.sAll signage~fm ssbenin conformance w th the Cipty Sign Ordinancepart of
2. No exterior downspouts are to be visible on any of the buildings.
3, Landscaping should surround the trash enclosures.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends redesign of the project and return at the discretion of
the Committee as either a consent or full Rem.

At the meeting, the applicant presented revised elevation that showed additional stonework. The
Committee was disappointed in the changes and recommended that the following should be added
to the project:
a) Roof material should match what was approved in the master plan for the three hotel
buildings. Metal roof material may be considered only if it is used sparingy and is not the
dominant element of the building.
b) More stone materials should be applied to all four sides of the building in addition to what
the architect had proposed.
c) Dormers and other similar type of architectural elements should be added to provide
interest and variation to the roof.
d) The blank wall at the north side of east elevation needs additional architectural
elements.
e) The landscaping plan need more variety of plant material. What was submitted appears
to be insufficient.
~ ~ f) Consider adding trelliswork in the outdoor patio area as well as expanding the patio area
to the south elevation.
g) A plaza and waiting area should be redesigned with more landscaping, benches, and
other aesthetic amenities that would be in the spirit of the approved master plan.
h) Address all the identified Secondary and Policy Issues.
The Committee directed the applicant to work with staff and bang the project back to the Committee
for review.

A COMPLETE SET OF PLANS WILL BE PROVIDED AT DESIGN REVIEW MEETING.
The Design Review Committee directed the applicant to go back and address the outstanding
elevation major issues with staff. The applicant has adequately redesigned the building with the
following items:
The paint scheme has been toned down with more subtle hue colors that are not too bright
and distracting.
2. A substantial amount of stone material has been on all sides four of the budding.
3. The primary entrance faces 4th Street and the central pitched/timbered gable has been
significantly raised and widened over the doorway. In addition, a commeraal like chimney
element is recessed behind the entry covered with stone to help add a focal point to the
entryway.
4. Additional windows, awning and a more diversified and eclectic paint scheme have been
added to create stronger contrast.
Staff Recommendation• The only additional recommendation that staff would require, would be to
increase the height of the stone base by at least three more feet on all side of the building.
Attachments: Reductions of elevations

Buffalo Avenue, and fronts along 4th Street -APN 0229-263-49 thru 53. Related Flle: Tentative
Parcel Map SUBTPM16926
Design Parameters• The site is surrounded by vacant land and Industnal/office uses to the north and
the Costco and Wicks furniture retail complex to the east across Buffalo Avenue To the west,
across Richmond Place Avenue, is the Tharaldson Hotel with related restaurant and retail pad
protect DRC2003-00770 To the south, across 4th Street is the Ontario Mills. The street frontages
of the site are fully improved with curb and gutter. The land division is for financing purposes and is
in conformance with City regulations.
The pro/ect is an infill protect The proposed protect Is planned for a large inline retail building
(Building 1) totaling 84,230 square feet There are four retail buildings (Buildings 2-4), including one
building intended for a bank with a dnve-thru, designed to front along 4th Street. The four retail
buildings range from 5,600 square feet to 5,800 square feet Two of the buildings (Buildings 2 and
3) are anchored at the southwest comer of 4th Street and Richmond Place. A diagonal onented
landscape/hardscape plaza that has a large fountain at its terminus, which is visible at the 4th Street
and Richmond Place intersection, bisects these buildings.
All of the buildings are richly designed with a modern theme, which has a subtle industrial design,
that is indicative of this area The buildings are concrete tilt-ups with strong vertical and honzontal
interplay along the facades. There is also ledge/stackstone that is on towers and freestanding
concrete tilt-ups walls on the primary retail building. The applicant proposes blue reflective glazing
and amulti-color scheme of grays, light brown, and light earth tone green to add contrast to the
buildings.
Staff Comments:
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this protect•
Site Plan
The pnmary access into the protect is off of 4th Street, and "Lighthouse Monument" towers
that are 12 feet high flank this entry Because of the large size, scale, and mass of the protect,
these monument towers should be at least 20 feet in height' Additionally, these towers
should have stone material instead of the proposed integral colored concrete.
~ To provide a perspective. The entry tower elements at "Town Square" at the southwest comer of Haven Avenue and
Foothill Boulevard are 17 feet high

The trellised pedestrian pathway that is submitted from the primary retail Building 1 to Building
4 should also be extended to connect the other buildings. This extension should be the same
design material and concept as the proposed trellised pedestrian pathway
3 The site plan and landscape plans need to depict landscape planters surrounding the trash
enclosures with the exception of the gate access side
4 The decorative paving at the primary entrance off of 4th street should be extended along the
entire landscape median.
5 The dnve-thru for Building 5 should be extended back 10 feet to the east so as to not conflict
with the adjacent on site two-way dnve aisle.
Budding Elevations:
Budding 1.
a. Additional stonework should be designed on the entire front portions of the building that
are proposed with the square reveal theme. Stonework should be added on the sides of
the building of the three windows with the metal canopy overhang element The
stonework at the rear of the budding should be raised to the next reveal level
b. To be in concert with the two matching tower elements, the central tower like element
should have reflective glazing similar to the two towers
c. On the rear elevation, the roll up doors should have windows and metal trellis work over
them as the applicant has proposed on the intenor roll-up doors
d The comice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the
entire budding.
Budding 2 and 3•
a. Additional stonework should be designed on the entire towerelements thatare proposed
to be painted yellow. Stonework should be added on the sides of the building of the
beige colored window portions
b The top section of the tower element should be widened so as to appear as not a tack
on design.
The cornice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the
entire budding.
Budding 4
a Additional stonework should be designed on the entire proposed brown painted tower
On the south elevation, stonework should be raised to the next reveal line. A stonework
wainscot should be added on the west and east elevations.
On the west elevation, windows should be added on the yellow colored section

c The cornice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the
entire budding.
Buddmg 5'
a Stonework should be installed on the entue gray colored window elements
b. A decorative 3-foot high planter should be installed between the support columns of the
dnve-thru overhang
c. The cornice treatment that is on the tower elements should be wrapped around the
entire bwlding
Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues
a. Provide material boards ofwhat materials will be used forthe circulardesign elements thatare
shown on the interior drive aisles.
b. Provide more trees along the north property line to help screen this protect from a future
protect to the north.
c The southeast corner of the protect (4th Street and Buffalo Avenue) should be enhanced to
better reflect what is proposed at the 4th Street and Richmond Place intersection.
d Plant trees along both sides of the sidewalk, parking space, between trellises, to provide Code
compliance and additional shade to the parking lot
e The covered trellis bases should be covered with stonework
f. All decorative bollards should be illuminated and provided along pedestrian pathways.
Policv Issues. The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the protect design without discussion•
1 Provide decorative pavement at all dnve entry throats (outside the public right-of-way).
2 Decorative pavement used in common pathways should extend across driveways for
continwty and to alert motorists.
3 Trash receptacles must be decorative to match the architecture of the protect
4 Outdoor dining patios for restaurants along 4th Street wdl regwre a noise study and
appropriate sound attenuation barriers, such as Lexan panels.
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the protect is revised per the above
recommendations and return to the Design Review Committee as a full item

SUBJECT: Results of a Habitat Suitability Evaluation, 133.0-acre Site, San Bernardino County,
California
Dear Carl:
This letter report presents findings of a reconnaissance-level survey conducted to generally evaluate the
suitability of a ±33.0-acre site to support the federally-listed endangered Delhi Sands Oower-loving fly
(Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdomina/~s-herein DSF),
introduction .
The subiect ±33 0-acre site is regionally located in the Clty of Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino
County, Califomia (P/ate 1). Specifically, the pro/ed site Is located north o/ 4'" Street, south of Mission
Park Drive, east of Pittsburgh Avenue, and west of Buffalo Avenue (Plate 2). Projects proposed in the
area that contain potentially suitable habitat to support sensitive biological resources such as the DSF
must demonstrate to reviewing agencies that potential protect-related Impacts to sensitive biological
resources are avoided or minimized. In order to meet the envlronmenlal documentation and review
requirements, potentially occumng sensitive biological resources must be addressed to demonstrate the
applicant's conformance to California Environmental Ouallty Act (CEOA) and the federal Endangered
Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. As such, this report is Intended to provide biological Information
to the applicant In support of the environmental review process.
As a federally listed endangered species, the DSF is protected under the Ad. As such, federal law
prohibits 'take' of Ilsted species. The term `take` means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture or collect, or attempt to engage in any such conduct. In some cases, habitat modification
can constitute prohibitive `take'. The Service routinely reviews environmental documentation for proposed
development projects in the area, and as such, would recommend that any impacts to sensitive biological
resources be adequately addressed and mitigated pursuant to the Act and CEQA. Due to the Inherent
limitations of unseasonal or habitat-based data, definitive conclusions regarding the actual presence or
absence of DSF cannot be made in this analysis Accordingly, this report is intended to provide the
applicant with general Information relative to the potential occurrence of DSF based solely on the nature
of habitat present.
Species Overview
The Service Ilsted the DSF as an endangered species on September 23, 1993 This species Is only
known to occur in association with Delhi sand deposits (USFWS 1997), primarily on twelve disjunct sites
within a radius of about eight miles In the cities of Colton, Rialto, and Fontana in southwestern San •
Bernardino and northwestern Riverside counties However, recent survey data (1997-02) Indicates that
DSF occur in low numbers in sub-optimal habitat conditions The DSF Is restricted to the Colton Dunes,
which covers approximately 40 square miles. More than 95 percent of the formerly known habitat has

been converted to human uses or severely affected by human activities, rendering it apparently
unsuitable for occupation by the species (Smith 1993, USFWS 1997 in Kingsley 1996). There is
presently an estimated 1,200 acres of habitat that can support this species (USFWS 1997) However, it is
unclear what properties and specific criteria were considered when the Service developed this estimate.
General Habitat Characteristics
Areas wntaining sandy substrates with a sparse covet of perennial shrubs and other vegetation
constitute the primary habitat requirements for Rhaphromrdas flies (USFWS 1997). Potential habitat for
the DSF is typically defined as areas composed of sandy soil (Delhi series) in open areas commonly
dominated by California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), California Croton (Croton caldomica), and
telegraph weed (Heterotheca grandrllora). Annual bur-sage (Ambrosia acanthicarpa), Rancher's fireweed
(Amsinckra menziesiQ, autumn vinegar weed (Lessrngia glandulilera), sapphire eriasWm (Enastrum
sapphirinum), primrose (Oenothere sp ), and Thurber's buckwheat (Enogonum thurben) are also
commonly present at occupied DSF sites. In addition, insect indicator species such as Apiocera and
Nemomydas are also typically associated with ocwpied DSF habitat. It is also important to note that the
presence or absence of indicator species does not determine presence/absence of DSF. Rather, these
indicator speaes exhibit a strong correlation to habitats occupied by DSF. A gradient of habitat suitability
exists for DSF, wmposed of varying degrees of both natural and artificial conditions.
DSF Recovery Unlts/Proposed Core Reserves
Subregional areas encompassing smaller areas known to be inhabited by the DSF or encompassing
areas that contain restorable habitat for the DSF have been grouped into three Recovery Units (RUs) by
the Service based on geographic proximity, similarity of habitat, and potential genetic exchange (USFWS
1997) The subject site is located within an area designated as the Ontario RU. The Ontario RU
historically contained the largest block of the Colton Dunes, however, most lands in this RU have been
converted to agriculture, or developed for commercial and residential projects (USFWS 1997). The
Ontario RU contains several areas that currently support DSF, and additional areas have been proposed
for restoration in the DSF Recovery Plan. DSF will continue to exist in the Ontario RU only with land
conservation, a cessation of current habitat-degrading land management practices and recreational uses,
and/or a restoration or natural reversion of ecologically damaged lands back to an ecological community
typical of Delh1 sands formations. History of other DSF wlony sites indicates that disturbed (by grading,
agriculture, etc.) Delhi sands formations may, over a few years, revert back (through erosion, fossorial
animal activity, and natural vegetative succession) to conditions capable of supporting DSF populations
and other ecological components typical of Delhi sands formations. Variables such as the length, width,
and structural characteristics of dispersal corridors have not been fully identfed
Additional data will be needed on reproduction and mortality rates, dispersal, and habitat variables before
further refinement of RU boundaries, development of alternative RU preserve designs, and analyses of
population can be made (USFWS 1997). Until such data is obtained, the highest priority will be to protect
existing populations of the DSF (USFWS 1997). To achieve downlisting, areas containing occupied
and/or restorable habitat and dispersal corridors need to be evaluated relative to the extent of distribution
patterns necessary to support secure populations. Sites to be protected should be selected based on
habitat needs of adults and larvae, and willingness of landowners to participate in recovery efforts
(USFWS 1997). Several 'Core Reserve Areas' have been initially identified by the Service, but to our
knowledge, the actual extent of the proposed reserve areas have not been finalized. Occupied and/or
potentially restorable habitat in the RUs includes only those areas that, at a minimum, contain Delhi
Series soils. Further, RUs do not include residential and commercial development, or areas that have
been otherwise permanently altered by human actions (USFWS 1997).
Development in the region has been cumulatively reducing the amount of open areas Such conversions
have been and will continue to lead to the permanent loss of the amount of land available for DSF. When
viewed individually, it may be possible for each protect to mitigate potential project-specific impacts
through the implementation of habitat replacement programs and the requirements of the regulatory
processes to which each project may be subject (e g , CEQA) Cumulative impacts are expected to be
addressed through participation and implementation of the Valley Wide Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (as outlined in the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Service,

other resource agencies, and local junsdictions). Additionally, regional and/or subregional DSF habitat
conservation plans curently proposed for the area would also be expected to address this issue. We
understand that the City of Ontario (City) is currently negotiating with the Service to develop a mutually
acceptable process for implementing portions of the DSF Recovery Plan developed by the Service. We
further understand that it is the intent of the City to continue to accommodate essential DSF habitat in
their long-range development plans.
Focused DSF Survey Guidelines
The Service prepared Presence/Absence Survey Guidelines for the DSF in December 1996. In general,
the guidelines maintain that in order to more fully determine the presence or absence of DSF such that
the results are acceptable to the Service, a survey following these gwdelmes must be conducted. The
current gwdelmes (2003) regwre that surveys be conducted in all areas containing Delhi sands twice
weekly (two days per week) dunng the single annual flight penod from July 15 to September 20.
However, at the discretion of the Servwe, survey guidelines may be modified depending upon individual
site circumstances (e g ,highly disturbed or degraded sites that don't support constituent elements cf
potential DSF habitat).
Methodo/ogy
Literature Search
Documentation pertinent to the biological resources in the vicinity of the site was reviewed and analyzed.
Information reviewed included: (1) the Federal Register listing package for the federally listed endangered
DSF; (2) literature pertaining to habitat regwrements of sensitive species potentially occurring on the
project site, (3) the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB 2003) information regarding sensdwe
speaes potentially occurring on the prolect site in a computer report format for the Guasb USGS 7.5-
minute quadrangle map, and (4) review of available reports from the general vicinity of the prolect site.
Habitat-Suitability Analysis
Ecological Sciences, Inc. biologists conducted a reconnaissance-level field survey on the subject site to
evaluate potential habitat for DSF on September 8, 2003. Ecological Scences, Inc. biologists have
observed numerous DSF in the field since 1995, and have extensive experience conducting both focused
surveys and habitat assessments for this sensitive taxon Ecological Sciences, Inc. is well versed with the
biotic characteristics of a range of habitats occupied by DSF, as well as other sensitive wildlife species
potentially occurring in the area.
The site was examined on foot by walking a serves of meandering transects across the subject property.
As mentioned, the pnmary objective of the one-day field visit was to generally evaluate the site's potential
to support DSF. Dominant plant species and other habitat charactenstics present at the site were
identified to assess the overall habitat value
Ex/sting Site Condit/ons
The site is characterized as highly disturbed vacant land (separated by Richmond Place) that supports a
relatively uniform coverage of non-native ruderal (weedy) plant species. The westem portion of the srte
was recently exposed to weed abatement activities, which has removed a majonty of standing vegetation.
Pnor to disking, the sde likely supported a dense coverage of vegetation as evidenced by the present of
extensive vegetation debris. The eastern portion of the site supports a dense coverage of vegetation,
similar in composition as the westem portion pdor to disking The site does not support native vegetation
communities due to exposure to retuning surface disturbances Visible surface soils varied from
compacted to unconsolidated, with some gravel assimilated in portions of the site. Vegetative coverage
was estimated at about 85 to 100 percent The vast majonty (t95%) of the total vegetative cover is
compdsed of invasive, ruderal speaes. P/ales 3a-3b illustrate existing sde conditions at the time of the
September 2003 survey.

. Vegetation
Ruderal introduced plant species present on site included remnant cultivated grape (Vitus vrnrlera), npgut
grass (Bromus d~andrus), foxtad chess (Bromus madrrtensrs ssp. rubens), ripgut grass (Bromus drandrus),
Mediterranean grass (Schrsmus barbatus), filaree (Erodium crcutanum), mustard (Brassrca and/or
Hrrschfeld~a spp ), Spanish clover (Lotus purshranus), pigweed (Chenopodrum sp.), Russian thistle
(Salsola tragus), horehound (Marrubrum vulgare), star thistle (Centaurea solstrtralis), and vetch
(Astragalus sp ). Non-native grasses and weedy herbs constitute approximately 95 percent of the total
on-site vegetative cover.
Native plant species such as California buckwheat, slender buckwheat (Enogonum graci/e), Rancher's
fireweed, telegraph weed, and western ragweed (Ambrosia psrlostachya) occur sporadically on the site.
Several of these species are often wnsidered "indicators' of potential DSF habitat although their
presence does not indicate DSF presence.
Wildlife
No DSF indicator insect species were observed during the brief survey effort conducted m September
2003 Bird speaes observed during the survey included American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos). Reptile
species recorded included side-blotched lizard (tile stansbunana). Mammal species directly observed, or
of which sign was detected, included California ground sgwrtel (Spermophrlus beecheyi).
Soil Conservatlon Map Revlew
A review of soil maps prepared for the area by the U S Department of Agriculture (1980) indicate that the
subject site is entirely located within an area mapped as Delhi fine sand (Db).
Surtounding Land Use
• The subject property is located in a commercial area of the City. The site is mostly encompassed by
existing development Commercial development is located to the south and east. A small vacant lot is
located to the north followed by commercial development; and a vacant lot followed by a vineyard
(proposed for wmmercial development) is located to the west. The adjacent vacant lots are similar in
composition as the subject lot
Dlscussfon
DSF have relatively narrow habdat regwrements that are determined by appropriate plant species and
open sand as defining characteristic (Kingsley 1996) The presence of Delhi sods appears to be the
most determinative factor of whether an area can provide swtable DSF habitat. Delhl sands constitute the
primary component o- a complex ecosystem. A variety of microhabdat characteristic generally constitute
potential DSF habitat (e g , Delhi soils, vegetation composition, soil chemistry, topography, percent
vegetative cover, frequency of non-native plant species, exposure to disturbances, etc.). However, it rs
widely acknowledged that a gradient of habitat suitability exists for DSF, composed of varying degrees of
natural and artificial conditions. Comprehensive DSF population data is generally lacking and key factors
regulating DSF populations have not been fully identified As such, whether thls taxon would persist over
a long-term basis in less than ideal wnditions is currently unknown.
While the aforementioned microhabdat conditions are considered optimaVessential to support DSF, DSF
sometimes occur in areas not typically considered swtable for this taxon. Although individual DSF have
been recorded from sites supporting mostly ruderal, non-native vegetation, most known DSF-occupied
sites contain areas, or are adjacent to areas, of relatively undisturbed exposed patches of friable, sandy
sods in assoaation with native plant speaes History of DSF colony sites indicates that previously
disturbed (by grading, agriculture, etc) Delhi sands formations may revert over a few years (through
erosion, aeolian processes, fossonal animal actwiry, and natural vegetative succession) back to
•

conditions capable of supporting DSF populations However, these natural processes are dependent .
upon a cessation of disturbance-related land uses, which prevent the natural reestablishment of a more
characteristic Delhi sand community more often associated with potential DSF habitat.
The site is not located adjacent to an area known to support DSF In addition, there is no apparent
connectivity to the subiect site from the nearest known DSF population (generally t3 0 miles to the south)
due to existing development that has long since fragmented potential DSF habitat in the area. While this
species likely has the capability of dispersing over relatively large distances of seemingly unswtable
habitats under certain arcumslances, it would be reasonable to assume based on the highly fragmented
nature of habitats in the site vicinity and our current knowledge of the speces that the likelihood of DSF
dispersing to the study area from any known occupied sites would be considered low.
Conclusion
Based on results of the 2003 habitat suitability evaluation, existing conditions at the subject t33 0-acre
site are not consistent with those expected to support an extant DSF population in the region. Although
several indicator plant species were recorded on the site, indicator plant species also occur on highly
disturbed/degraded properties that do not support potential DSF habitat Moreover, the context in which
these native plant species occur (e.g., overgrown with a dense coverage of non-native grasses and forts)
does not constitute a substantive native Delhi soils plant community. Consequently, the site does not
support an archetypical vegetation community more characteristically assoaated with potential DSF
habitat. No significant areas of the site support exposed natural or semi-natural open areas that support
unconsolidated wind-worked granitic sods or dunes The site is also not located adiacent to areas known
to support DSF.
The presence of dense, non-native vegetation and exposure to long-standing substrate disturbances
(e g , disking and mowing) result in negative impacts to potential DSF habitat, and may also prevent
potentially suitable DSF microhabitat soil conditions from developing in a manner particularly supportive .
of DSF. The underlying sod environment appears to be the most definitive factor of whether an area could
support DSF. Disruption of soil integnty provides opportunities for invasive vegetation to dominate the
site Absent a cessation of disturbance-related activities and restoration of ecologically damaged lands
back to a community typical of Delhi sands formations, the establishment of a more charactenstc Delhi
sand community (more commonly associated with potential DSF habitat) would likely be prevented. The
subject site is also not located in a geographic area likely considered essential to preserve for long-tens
DSF conservation because of the absence of, and connectivity to, adtacent habitats considered suitable
to support DSF. Accordingly, the occurence potential for DSF on the subfect site would generally be
considered low.
While existing site conditions do not appear to be particulady supportive of DSF as described, in order to
make more definitive wnclusions relative to DSF presence or absence, the Service routinely requests the
performance of focused DSF surveys following Service guidelines depending upon individual site
conditions. During the environmental review process, recommendations to perform focused DSF surveys
are evaluated by reviewing agencies on a case-by-case basis. However, in view of the site's existing
disturbed and isolated condition, dense coverage of invasive vegetation, exposure to recuring surface
disturbances, and analyses of correlative habitat information from a wide range (e g ,relatively disturbed
to more natural habitats) of occupied DSF habitats in the region, the t33 0-acre site does not likely
contain habitat suitable to support or sustain a viable DSF population.

Comments:
a) The site is designated as Prime Farmland and is located on the northwest corner of
Buffalo Avenue and 4th Street. The site is surrounded by vacant land and industriaVoffice
uses to the north, Costco and Wickes furniture retail complex to the east across Buffalo
Avenue. To the west, across Richmond Place Avenue, is the Tharaldson Hotel with
related restaurant and retail pads protect DRC2003-00770 To the south, across 4th
Street, is the Ontario Mills The street frontages of the site are fully improved with curb
and gutter. The land division is for tinancing purposes and is in conformance with City
regulations 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
Plan Table IV-2 The mator concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the
southern and eastern portions of the City that is characterized by existing and planned
development Further, two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging
from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubttul, 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
overriding conditions was ultimately adopted by the City Council The proposed protect 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

3. AIR QUALITY. Would the prolech
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the () () () (/)
applicable air quality plan
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute () (/) () ( )
substantially to an existing or protected av 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 (including releasing
emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors
d) Expose sensitive receptors to 'substantial pollutant () () () (/)
concentrations?
e) Create obtectionable odors affecting a substantial () () () (/)
number of people?
Comments
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6), continued development wail 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 Overriding Conditions
was ultimately adopted by the City Counal The proposed protect 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
construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate
emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated dunng grading and
construction activities While most of the dust would settle on or near the protect site,
smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the
surrounding area Constructidn is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area.
Construction workers and egwpment work and operate at one development site until then
tasks are complete They then transfer to a different site where the process begins again
Therefore, the emissions assoaated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho
Cucamonga area and would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing av
quality in the region Nevertheless, fugitive dust and egwpment emissions are required to
be assessed by the South Coast Au Quality Management Distract (SCAQMD) on a protect-
specific basis Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to
reduce impacts to less-than-sigmficant levels•
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition
so as to reduce operational emissions. 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, developer shall submit
construction plans to City denoting the proposed schedule and protected

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.
J
• 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 Rule 403 requirements.
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul 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 (RWQCB) daily to reduce
(PMip) emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWOCB) shall be applied
to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PMip emissions.
8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel
powered equipment where feasible.
g) 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 (URBEMIS7G) estimates in Table
5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG),
and Fine Particulate Matter (PMig) would exceed SCAOMD thresholds for significance,
therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a protect
basis to a level less than-significant The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide
increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement
of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council
In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant
operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in
Table 5 6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, therefore, all would be cumulatively significant rf
they cannot be mitigated on a protect basis to a level less-than-sigmficant. The following
mitigation measures shall be implemented:
t) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
2) 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
idenuhed the citywide increase in operational emissions as a sigmficant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a statement of overriding conditions was ultimately adopted by
the Cdy Council.
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would 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 and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding 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 SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic
facilities According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant
impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 The protect site is located more than 3/4
mile from the nearest sensitive receptor Empire Lakes Goif Course and 1 3/4 mile from
the nearest school Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create obtectionable odors No adverse impacts are
anticipated

plans will occur.
5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the pro/ect
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () () () (/)
significance of a historical resource as defined in
§ 15064 5~
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (/) () ( )
significance of an archeological resource pursuant to
§ 15064 5~
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological () (/) () ( )
resource or site or unique geologic feature
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred () () () (/)
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
a) The protect 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 archeological sites or resources recorded on the protect site,
however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native
Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 511). 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) If 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. With 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.

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
deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the
Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last °Ice Age" and the
appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils The
protect site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2; therefore,
the following mitigation measures shall be implemented.
t-._J
2) It any paleontological resource (i e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered
before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific 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:
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse protect effects on significant, important, and unique
prehistoric resources, following appropriate California Environmental
Gluality Act (CE~A) 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.
• 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. If 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 the
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
protect site has already been disrupted by construction of infrastructure and surrounding
developments/annual discing for weed abatement No known religious or sacred sites
exist within the protect area No adverse impacts are anticipated

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CCWD)
and will not affect water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. Protect is
designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems
b) According to CCWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided from
ground water in the Cucamonga and Chino Basins CCWD has adopted a master plan
that estimates demand needs until the year 2030 The proposed protect will not deplete
groundwater supplies, nor will it Interfere with recharge because it 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 will require the grading of the site and
excavation; however, would not affect the existing aquifer, 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 wilt increase water needs and is a significant impact,
however, CCWD has plans to meet this increased need through the construction of future
water facilities The following mitigation measure shall be implemented.
1) Structures to retain precipitation and runoff on-site shall be Integrated into the
design of the project where appropriate. Measures that may be used to
minimize runoff and to enhance infiltration include Dutch drains, precast
concrete lattice blocks and bricks, terraces, diversions, runoff spreaders,
seepage pits, and recharge basins.
c) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site, however, the protect 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 The protect design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to
prevent erosion A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official
and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits The following mitigation
measures shall be implemented to reduce levels to less-than-significant levels:

Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary
increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface slows during a concurrent storm
event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts The site is not more than 1 acre;
therefore, is required to comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) to minimize water pollution. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall
be implemented to reduce levels to less-than-significant levels
3) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City
Engineer for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WOMP), including
a project description and identifying BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce
pollutants into the storm dram system to the maximum extent practicable.

Comments:
a) The protect site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Exhibit V-13 at build-out Noise levels will not exceed 65dBA within 315 feet
and 60dBA within 680 feet of the centerline of 4th Street The General Plan states that
new construction should only be undertaken after a detailed analysis of the noise
reduction requirements is made and needed noise insulation features included in design.
Conventional construction, but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air
conditioning will normally suffice. The outdoor pool, located on the south side of the hotel,
will benefit from sound attenuation afforded by the three-story hotel budding A noise
study should be prepared prior to issuance of Building Permits. The General Plan FEIR
(Section 5.7) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site stationary sources,
heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will generate noise
exceeding City standards, however, there are no sensitive receptors nearby. The
following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce levels to
less-than-significant levels
1. An acoustical report shall be submitted for City Planner review and approval,
prior to the Issuance of building permits. The final report shall discuss the
level of interior noise attenuation to below 60 CNEL, the building materials
and construction techniques provided, and if appropriate, verify the
adequacy of the mitigation measures. The building plans will be checked for
conformance with the mitigation measures contained in the final report.

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 protect so no impacts to fire services will occur No impacts are anticipated
b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the protect will not change
the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the protect site is within an area that is regularly patrolled
c) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Cucamonga School District and
the Chaffey Joint Union High School District The protect will be required to pay School
Fees as prescribed by State law, prior to the issuance of Building Permits No impacts
are anticipated.
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The
nearest park is located 2 miles from the protect site The protect 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 A standard
condition of approval will require the developer to pay park development fees. No impacts
are anticipated.
e) The proposed protect will utilize existing public facilities The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga The protect 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 Cumulative
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 the General Plan will not meet the protected demand The General Plan
FEIR identdied the cumulative impact on library services as a significant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Conditions was ultimately adopted by
the City Council. The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the
EIR was prepared and impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General Plan, the

Comments:
a) The protect Includes 110,650 square feet of general commercial that will generate 4,990
average daily vehicle trips A 5,600 square foot bank will generate 1,064 average dally
trips A 7,820 square foot restaurant will generate an additional 748 average daily trips;
therefore, the entire protect will generate a total 6,802 average vehicle trips. 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 protect Is consistent with the General
Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and Impacts evaluated The protect Is in an area
that Is mostly developed with street Improvements existing or included in protect design.
The protect will not create a substantial Increase in the number of vehicle taps, traffic
volume or congestion at Intersections The protect site will be required to provide street
Improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per Clty
roadway standards In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development
fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of Building Permits Fees are
used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No
impacts are anticipated
b) The protect includes 110,650 square feet of general commercial that will generate 115
morning two-way peak hour trips and 399 evening two-way peak hour trips (restaurant -
152 25, retail - 31 92), which is less than 1,000 two-way peak hour trips for retail,
therefore It is below the threshold of the San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan
(CMP) criteria for requiring a traffic impact analysis The protect is In an area that is
mostly developed with all street Improvements existing. The protect will not negatively
Impact the level of service standards on adtacent arterials The protect 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 Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. No impacts are anticipated.
d) The protect is In an area that is mostly developed. The protect will be required to provide
street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site The
protect 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 protect will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles 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 antlclpated.
g) The protect design Includes, or the protect will be conditioned to provide, features
supporting transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e g ,bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool
parking, etc.)

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) 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 seH-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) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (/)
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (°Cumulatively
considerable° means that the incremental effects of a
protect are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past protects, the effects of other
current protects, and the effects of probable future
protects)
c) Does the protect have environmental effects, which () () () (/)
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly?
Comments•
a) Ecological Sciences prepared a Delhi Sands Flower-loving fly habdat survey. No Delhi
Sands Flower-loving flies were observed on or near the site during the 2003 survey. Two
consecutive years of negative surveys are required by the U S Fish and Wtldlife Service
to establish absence of the species According to these criteria, absence of the species
has been established at the protect site 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 required to develop
the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001
General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of
Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental
effects of buildout in the City and Sphere-of-Influence The City made findings that
adoption of the General Plan would result m significant adverse effects to aggregate
H~q

resources, pnme farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and
aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these
resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As
such, the City adopted 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
requved.
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 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 wdl ensure impacts are at less-than-signficant
levels.
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) The effects identified above for this protect were within the scope of and adequately
analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects
were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. The following earlier analyses

and fronts along 4th Street - APN. 0229-263-49 thru 53.
Project Description: A request to subdivide 18.27 acres into 9 parcels and a request to develop a
118,470 square foot retail center in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 12).
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 Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
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 Mitigated 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 environment.
If adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The Tactual and analytical basis for this finding is 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 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-

This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use m implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration fortheabove-listed protect. This program
has been prepared m compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the protect.
2 A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action wtll be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance wdl be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the protect The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The protect
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
