Troyer, AICP, Planning Director BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF DENIAL FOR VARIANCE DRC2007-00396 - JALAL NOORZADY - A denial for the request to reduce the required corner side-yard setback from 27 feet to 16 feet 11 inches for the purpose of building asingle-family residence in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at the southeast cornier of Amethyst Avenue and 19th Street - APN: 0202-111-06. Review History: This Variance request was originally reviewed by the Planning Commission on July 25, 2007. The Planning Commission recommended that the applicant reduce the size of the proposed house and submit the revised drawings to the Design Review Committee for review prior to rescheduling the item for their review. The Design Review Committee reviewed the project on December 18, 2007, and determined that the applicant had made substantive progress in addressing the concerns raised by the Planning Commissioners and that the Variance should be scheduled for Planning Commission review. Staff scheduled the item for the February 13, 2007, Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting, the Planning Commission determined that the applicant needed to make additional changes to make the house more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant stated that he was unwilling to make additional changes and that if the Planning Commission did not approve the request he would appeal their decision to the City Council. The Planning Commission passed a motion to have staff draft a Resolution of Denial for the next Planning Commission meeting. to developing the lot with a house with a maximum width of 19 feet. ANALYSIS: The applicant requested a Variance to reduce the required corner sideyard setback from 27 feet to 16 feet 11 inches for the purpose. of building a .single-family residence on a legal non-conforming 40-foot wide lot within the Low (L) Residential District. The required corner lot width within the Low zoning district is 70 feet. Without approval of the Variance, the applicant would be limited • Staff reviewed the applicant's request and presented those findings to the Planning Commission in Staff Reports dated July 25, 2007, and February 13, 2008. The two reports included descriptions of the site and the surrounding land uses and zoning and made the five findings required to support the Variance ITEM A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2007-00396 - JALAL NOORZADY February 27, 2008 Page 2 request. Staff's support of the Variance was based on the narrowness of the existing lot and the fact that corner lots are subject to an increased sideyard setback requirement. Staff concluded that support of the Variance would not result in the granting of a special privilege and that without the Variance the applicant would be faced with an unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. The Planning Commission reviewed staff's findings and .concurred that there were unique circumstances pertaining to the development of the subject lot. The Commission, though, stated that they could not support the applicarit's request without a reduction in the overall bulk of the proposed house to make it more compatible with the neighboring single-story residences. It was determined that without a reduction in overall bulk of the house, they would be unable to make the Finding #5 (Development Code section 17.04.040-E-1 e), which requires that approval of the Variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvement in the vicinity. The applicant contacted staff the day following the February 13, 2008, Planning Commission meeting, stating that he spoke too quickly and is willing to work with the Commission to make the proposed house more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Staff directed him to write a letter to the Planning Commission stating the above and that it would be up to the Commission whether they would pull the item off of the Consent Calendar and open the item for discussion. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the • City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 5 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15305, which covers minor alterations in land use limitations and includes variances for sideyard setbacks. Because the applicant is only requesting a Variance for the reduction in the required sideyard setback, staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site.

Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby denies the application. 5.

PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA BY: ATTEST: Pam Stewart, Chairman James R. Troyer, AICP, Secretary I, James R. Troyer, AICP, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 27th day of February 2008, by the following vote-to-wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: • • L J A - 4 T H E C I T Y" O F R A N C tt$O ~ C U C A~M O N G A Staff Report DATE: February 27, 2008 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission , FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director BY: Michael Diaz, Senior Planner SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2007-00455 - CORNWALL ASSOCIATES FOR THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST LATTER DAY SAINTS - A request to construct a 16,500 square foot meeting house and associated parking lot on a 5.09-acre site in the Community Facilities District of the Victoria Community Plan, located at the southeast corner of Highland Avenue and Woodruff Place • - APN: 1089-011-06: Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaratioh of environmental impacts for consideration. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Project Description: The Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to construct and operate a church use at the subject site.. A Conditional Use Permit is required for church uses: Daycare, private school education, retail bookstore, or outside playfield uses are not included in this request. The proposed development of the site includes construction of a rectangular shaped meeting house of approximately 16,558 square feet in area and an associated parking lot with 165 (135 required) parking spaces. A storage building.(168 square feet) and a trash enclosure are the other structures proposed for the property. Other on-site improvements include parking lot lighting (on 15-foot high light standards) and drought tolerant landscaping (new trees, shrubs, and groundcovers) around the perimeter of the building and in the parking areas. Multi-trunk Sycamore (Plantanus racemosa), Crape Myrtle, Podocarpus, Magnolia,- Camphor, and Pine trees are proposed. The church site is slightly larger than needed so the eastern third of the site (approximately 1.4 acre) will be left undeveloped and held in reserve until such time the church decides to sell or develop. Until the remaining portion is developed or sold, the area will be planted with low-maintenance landscaping. The new meeting house will be situated at the center of the site oriented in an east-west alignment with the front of the church building facing west towards Woodruff Avenue. The church building will be setback from adjacent residential properties on the south by approximately 250 feet and • approximately 260 to 270 feet from residential properties to the east. The floor plan of the meeting house is roughly divided between a chapel area on one side and a cultural center (e.g., gym) on the other, surrounded by offices, kitchen, smaller meeting rooms, restrooms, etc. All activities occur ITEM B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ' DRC2007-00455 -CORNWALL ASSOCIATES FOR CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST LATTER DAY SAINTS February 27, 2008 Page 2 within the building and no exterior sound system is proposed. A 3-foot high screen wall at the top of the southern slope of the site is proposed to help screen vehicle lights. No security walls, fences, or gates are proposed to enclose the site or parking lot (a 6-foot high solid block wall already exists at the east property line). B. Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning: The project site is located on the southeast corner of Woodruff Avenue and Highland Avenue and is within the Victoria Community Plan (VCP). The site is zoned Community Facilities (CF), which allows church uses with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The surrounding properties are zoned as follows: North - I-210 Freeway separated from the site by Highland Avenue South - Single-Family Residences; Low-Medium (LM) Residential; Victoria Community Plan East - Single-Family Residences; Low-Medium (LM) Residential; Victoria Community Plan West - Neighborhood Shopping Center; Village Commercial (VC) District; Victoria Community Plan C. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) North - I-210 Freeway South - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Neighborhood Commercial D. Site Characteristics: The site is an undeveloped corner lot immediately surrounded by streets on three sides (Highland Avenue, Woodruff Place, and Cdtton Cloud Drive) and adjacent existing single-family homes to the east. The I-210 Freeway is immediately north of Highland Avenue. The adjacent single-family homes to the east are separated from the project site by an existing 6-foot high block wall. The site gradually slopes/drains to the southwest. At the southern boundary, the property significantly slopes downward toward Cotton Cloud Drive. The project site has been previously graded, and has no significant vegetation or existing trees. E. Parking Calculations: Church parking is generally based on the seating capacity of the main worship area (sanctuary) of the building at one space for every four seats. Tlie floor plan of the proposed church indicates a worship area adjacent to amulti-purpose room that can be used for overflow. Based on this configuration the following requirements apply: -. -. r _.~ "~ °.~'' ~;4s§embl ~;4rea. ~fl~~n,.` 1 ~,~ ., ~` ;GodetSfan.`dard,~.,~:a, , ... ~~ `~~~,,~`Suti~Total~s~_w Sanctuary - 271 fixed seats 1 space per 4 fixed seats 68 spaces Multi-Purpose Room - 1 space per 35 square feet of open area 71 spaces A roximatel 2,493 s uare feet Totals aces re wired 139 Totals aces rovided 165 +26 The parking lot will be illuminated by freestanding poles with "box type" light fixtures to cast light downward to the subject site and thereby reduce impacts to adjacent properties. • \I • B-2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2007-00455 -CORNWALL ASSOCIATES for Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints February 27, 2008 • Page 3 ANALYSIS: General: Overall, staff finds the proposed church use at the subject site to be appropriate. The property is 5.09 acres in size, and shaped to more than adequately accommodate the proposed church building, minor accessory structures, and other associated site improvements. The proposed church use is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan which encourages that land uses be distributed to meet local needs and be properly integrated into its surrounding context. The site for the church has long been identified as a specific location for a church use within the Victdria Community Plan. Moreover, the project complies with the Development Code requirements for setbacks; building height, the provision of required on-site parking, and an efficient on-site circulation system. All proposed improvements are more than adequately set back from adjacent residential properties so as to pose minimal to no impact, including proposed use and illumination of the site. Parking lot illumination is provided by freestanding light fixtures designed to prevent light spill onto adjacent properties and includes the installation of a 3-foot high block wall at the top of the existing slope-that faces the Cotton Cloud Drive residents. The architecture of the proposed church building (and minor accessory structures) is appropriate, as it is intended to complement the general "Spanish" architectural theme of existing structures found in the surrounding area. The height of the main building and the tower/spire element comply with Development Code limits and are well integrated into the overall building design. Exterior materials are durable and appropriate for the selected architectural style. • The site is located and served by fully developed public streets of the appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the new use. Moreover, the proposed improvements will not divide an established community or pose adverse impacts to the adjacent neighborhoods/improvements within the surrounding area. Since the project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals. As such, the proposed church improvements will be consistent with the land use policies of the City's General Plan and do not interfere with other policies for environmental protection. As such, no adverse impacts related to the proposed church facility are anticipated. A. Design Review Committee: On December 4, 2007, the Design Review Committee (Stewart, Munoz, Nicholson) found the proposed church site plan and building design to be appropriate, but directed staff to work with the applicant on "master planning" for the undeveloped 1.4 acre portion of the site (east). The Committee asked that this issue be resolved before the item was sent to the full Planning Commission. The applicant was also asked to construct a decorative screen wall (3 to 4 feet in height) on the south side of the property to prevent impacts caused by headlights of parked vehicles facing the southern residences. The applicant has revised the plans accordingly. B. Grading and Technical Review Committees: On December 4, 2007, the Committees reviewed and approved the proposed plans. C. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. The initial study was released for pubic .comment on January 31, 2008. Based on the, findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition • of mitigation measures related to short-term air quality, aesthetics,, noise, hydrology. and water quality, and geology and soils, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment B-3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ' DRC2007-00455 -CORNWALL ASSOCIATES FOR CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST LATTER DAY SAINTS February 27, 2008 Page 4 • period and of the intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project. D. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: On October 23, 2007, a neighborhood meeting was held to discuss the proposed Latter Day Saints Meeting House/Church at Highland Avenue and Woodruff Place at the State Farm Insurance office in the Vineyard Marketplace (more commonly known as the Albertson's Center). The meeting was facilitated by Ken Cornwall, the architect, and Leo Garcia, a representative from the Church. Six residents attended the meeting, most which appeared to live on Cotton Cloud Drive, immediately south of the site. The meeting was cordial and those who attended appeared to have no strong objections or concerns beyond those few identified below. Issues raised by the residents were in regard to impacts on Cotton Club Drive residents from headlights in the parking lot, parking on Cotton Club Drive, and security of the church facility. PUBLIC NOTICE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. A total of 183 notices were mailed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the. Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00455 for the proposed meeting house of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints at the subject site by adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions. • .

Project Description: The Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to construct and operate a church use at the'subject site. A conditional use permit is required for church uses. Daycare, private school education, retail bookstore, or outside playfield uses are not included in this request. • The proposed development of the site inGudes construction of a rectangular shaped meeting house of approximately 16,558 square feet in area and an associated parking lot with 165 (138 required) parking spaces. A storage building (168 square feet) and a trash enclosure are the other structures proposed for the property. Other on-site improvements include parking lot lighting (on 15-foot high light standards) and drought tolerant landscaping (new trees, shrubs, and groundcovers) around the perimeter of the building and in the parking areas. Multi-trunk Sycamore (Plantanus racemosa), Crape Myrtle, Podocarpus, Magnolia, Camphor, and Pine trees are proposed. The church site is slightly larger than needed so the eastern third of the site (approximately 1.4 acre) will be left undeveloped and held in reserve until such time the church decides to sell or develop. Until the remained portion is developed or sold, the area will be planted with low-maintenance landscaping. The new meeting house will be situated at the center of the site oriented in a east-west alignment with the front of the church building facing west towards Woodruff Avenue. The church building will be set back from adjacent residential properties on the south by approximately 250 feet and approximately 260 to 270 feet from residential properties to the east. The-floor plan of the meeting house is roughly divided between a chapel area on one side and a cultural center (e.g., gym) on the other, surrounded by offices, kitchen, smaller meeting rooms, restrooms, etc. All activities will occur within the building and no exterior sound system is proposed. A short (3-foot high) screen wall at the top of the southern slope of the site is proposed to help screen vehiGe lights. No additional security walls/fences/gates are proposed to enclose the site or parking lot (a 6-foot high solid block wall already exists at the east property line). 2.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: () () () (/) a) Have a substantial affect on 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 project site. The site is not within a designated view corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15. b) The project 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 project site is 5.09 acres in overall size and located east of Milliken Avenue at the southwest corner of Highland Avenue and Woodngff Place. The meeting house (church) design is based on the standard design for meeting houses used by the LDS Church throughout the country, which features a cross gabled roof form accented by a prominent square tower and spire element. Building height for the church building is 27 feet, 6 inches high with the tower steeple being a maximum of 50 feet (per Development Code limit). Depending on the location, the exterior finishes are varied to a degree in order to better integrate their structure within a given location. In this case, the proposed exterior materials include a light colored (off-white) stucco wall with terra cotta colored concrete "S" mission tiles that will complement the general "Spanish" architectural theme of the existing shopping center to the west and some of the homes in the area. The west facing facade of the meeting house features a large round topped window element that is repeated in a smaller scale at the cross gable ends/building entries, and on the tower/spire. As standard procedure, the project will be subject to public notice and the City's design review and approval process where the issue of size and design will be addressed. Project plans (including landscape plans) will be modified as directed by the Design Review Committee and/or the Planning Commission before approval will be granted. As such, no specific mitigation for this issue is required. d) The project will involve the installation of light fixtures on the site. The design and placement of light factures will be shown on the Site Plans which require review for consistency with City standards. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the project site. Parking lot lighting is limited to an overall height of 15 feet and requires shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare to adjacent properties. Moreover, a 3-foot high block wall will placed at the top of the existing sloped area at the south side of the property to minimize potential light and glare impacts to the residences oh Cotton Cloud Drive caused by headlights of vehicles in the parking lot. Wdh these standard requirements, potential lighting impact are not considered significant. u l I • B-33 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 • City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 5 Less Than Signifiant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Potentially Signlfiocrt wm, MNgaEOn Than Significant No Im act Inm mtetl Im act Im act 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () () (/) a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance'(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (/) Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, () () () (/) because of 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 site has been previously graded, has no significant vegetation, and is surrounded by existing single-family homes, commercial development, and roadways. 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 major concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Further, two-thirds of the designated 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 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 project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) There are no agriculturally zoned properties within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City. c) The site is located in a fully developed area of the City and the nearest agricultural use is over 1 mile southeast from the project site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. • 3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project: , () () () (/) 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 projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any () () () (/) criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- . attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? 634 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho,Cucamonga Page 6 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g a°"ntially Signifiwrrc w"n MNgaM1On man Significant No Im act Intro atetl Im ac[ ImoacT d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant () () () (/) concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number () () () (/) of people? Comments: a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6), 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 project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty 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 will settle on or near the project site, smaller particles can remain in the atmosphere, increasing panicle levels within the surcounding area. Construction is ari on- going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment wont 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 project-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 mission 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 pertortnance 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 pertornance 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: u B-35 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 • • City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 Less Than Signifiwrrt Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Potentially Signifiwn[ wim Mi69ation Than Significant No Ira aR Inror orated Ira act Ira act 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 accordirig to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occur 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~o emissions. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel-powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6). Based upon the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) model estimates in Table 5.6-4 of the General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), Nitrogen Oxide (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PMto) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project 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 project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: B-36 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page B Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortln Information Sources: PP 9 Palengally signifipm with Mitigation Than Signifiont No Imoact Inco om[etl Im ac[ Im act 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 Overdding 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 project 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, projects 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 SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located adjacent to sensitive receptors: single-family residences are adjacent to the site, and Carlton Lightfoot Elementary and Rancho Cucamonga High School are approximately '/: mile to the southeast. Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels. e) Typically, church uses. do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () () (/) a) Have .a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat or () () () (/) other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? • • • 637 • Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 9 Less Than Signifiant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Foie"tial'Y Signifiant wm, Mitigation Than SignifiraM No Im act Incor m[etl ImaaM Im ac[ c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected () () () (/) .wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (incuding, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Intertere substantially with the movement of any native () () () (/) resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting () () () (/ ) biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat () () () (/) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Comments: u a) The project site has been previously graded, has no significant vegetation, acid is surrounded by existing single-family homes, commercial development, and roadways including the I-210 Freeway that has disrupted the original lay of the land during the construction of these surrounding improvements. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. b) The project site is located in an urban area with'no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the project 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 majority of the surrounding area around the subject site is developed. The I-210 Freeway cuts off any natural wildlife corridors from the north that may have existed. No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There are no existing trees on the site. No adverse impacts are anticipated. The project 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. • 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () () (/) a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance df 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? 638 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 Less Than Signifigirt less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: pp g aptenealry Signifi~an[ wan Miggafion Than Significant No Impact Inromomted Im ac[ Impact 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 site is undeveloped and surrounded by existing commercial and residential development, and public roadways. No pre-existing structures or uses are present on the site. As such, the project will not cause substantial adverse impacts to any historical resources. No mitigation measures are required. b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 1) 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. • Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEf1A guidelines. • Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report, with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial fan. According to the San Bemardino County database, no paleontological sites or. resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or -the sphere-of-influence, including the project 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 • • • 639 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 11 Less Than Signifimnt Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Potantially Significant wrtn Mitigafion Than Significant No Im act Incomoratetl - Imoec[ Im act occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Eichibit 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 submk 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 collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The site has been previously graded, has no significant vegetation, and is surrounded by existing single-family homes, commercial development, and roadways. No known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to suggest the project 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. • B-40 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 12 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP 9 Poensany Significant wan Mi[igafion ma^ Significant No Impact Into omfitl Im act Im act 6.

Comments: • • a) The site is within the Buded/Uncertain Segment of Red Hill Fault as depicted on General Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR. The location of this segment was derived from published fault maps that infer a connection between the Red Hill Fault and the Etiwanda Avenue scarps. However, subsurface explorations and the actual existence of the faun were not found. Because available data cannot support the location or existence of a faun in the area, application of spedfic mitigation measures are limited to critical facilities only (e.g., schools, fire stations, hospitals, dams and flood control structures, and bridges). The Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 2 miles to the north which is capable of producing Mw 6.0 to 7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to M„, 7.5 earthquakes, is approximately 12 miles northeastedy of the eastern city limits and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes is approximately 15 miles northeastedy from the eastern City limits. Each of these faults can produce strong groundshaking. On January 4, 2008, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted the 2007 Califomia Building Code (CBC) which based on the International Building Code (IBC). All architects, engineers and contractors are required to be familiar with and apply the provisions of the new building code • including adherence to enhanced seismic requirements. Adhering to the 2007 Califomia Building Code requirements will ensure that geologic impacts to construdiori are less-than-significant.

The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject 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 project 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~g emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or replanted 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~g 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~g emissions from the site during such episodes. 4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM~g emissions. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated with large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aquifer. The project will be connected to water supply network administered by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) and will not directly withdrawal water from the existing aquifer. The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous area or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General. Plan FEIR Figure 5.1-2. On-site soil type is Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand soil association according to General Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. No adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. On-site soil type is Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand soil association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and General Plan FEIR Exhibit 5.1-3. These soils are typically considered to be permeable, generally well drained, very slow runoff. Potential erosion hazard is slight. No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. 7. HAZARDS AND WASTE MATERIALS.

Comments: a) The project will not involve the transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition that is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than any other in the state. The City has adopted a Standardized Emergency Management System Multi-Hazard Functional Plan to respond to chemical emergencies. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations conceming the storage and handling of hazardous materials andlor waste will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are expelled. • b) The proposed project does not include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels.

The site is approximately 1/2 mile northwest of Rancho Cucamonga High School and 1/8 mile from Kenyon Park. No adverse impacts are anticipated. , d) The proposed site is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site. Recent site inspection did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous materials. No impact. e) The site is not located within an Airport Land Use Plan and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The project site is located approximately 4 1/2 miles north 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. g) The City's Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan, which is updated every two years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District in the event of a disaster. Because the project incudes at least two points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no adverse impacts are anticipated. • h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from awind-driven fire in the Urban Wildland Intertace area found in the northern part of the City according to the Fire District Strategic Plan 2000-2005; however, the proposed project site is not located within a high fire hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-7. u 8.

() () () (/) Comments: a) Water and sewer service is provided by the CVWD. The. project is designed to conned 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 Ad. 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 Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region, administer these permits. Constmdion 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. Pdor to commencement of constmdion of a project, 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, inGuding site dearance and grading: Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to 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. Pertorm inspections of all BMPs. Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES Permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare a SWPPP. To comply wish the NPDES, the construction contractor of the project will be required to prepare a SWPPP during construction activities and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post- • • • B-45 • Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 - ~ Less Than Signifignt Less Issues and Su ortrn Information Sources: PP g Potentially Signifipnt WRh Mitigatlon Than Significant No Im ac[ Inco ore[eE Im act Im ad construction operational management of storm water runoff. 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 incude detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Ndn-structural controls focus orr 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 required to control additional stone water effluent: Construction Activities: • 1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the 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 stone 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 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 pertonned prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site. Post- Construction Operationah. 5) The developer shall prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WOMP) to reduce pollutants after construction entering the stone drain system to the maximum extent practical. 6) 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.

CVWD has adopted a master plan that estimates demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed project 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 project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surtace water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Offical and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, the project will not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered significant. d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building 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. e) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage pattems, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flaws. The project will not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. 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 surtace flows during a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surtace water quality impacts. The site is for new development or significant redevelopment; therefore, is required to comply with the NPDES to minimize water pollution. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 7) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), including a project description and identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. • u • B 47 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 u City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 19 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Potentially significant wan Mitlgaton Than Signifion[ No Im ac[ Incor retell Im act Im ac[ 8) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit. g) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V=S. No adverse impacts are expected. h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expelled. 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 project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected. • j) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site; therefore, impacts from seiche and/or 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 constmcted 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. 9. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? () () () (/) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or () () () (/) regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or () () () (/) natural community conservation plan? Comments: • a) The project site is a corner lot that is surrounded on three sides by public streets and existing development. The proposed church on the subject site will not divide the existing community, but more likely buffer existing residences in the area-from any visual and some noise impacts caused by vehicles on Highland Avenue (frontage road) and the I-210 Freeway to the north. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

The VCP established the Community Facilities land use category to provide locations for uses that would support the community inGuding public parks, playground, and open spaces. Conditionally permitted uses for the CF district include private schools, churches, child care centers, etc. Although the General Plan .designates the site as Low-Medium (4-8 dwelling units per acre) Residential, church uses are also allowed with a conditional use permit. At 5.09 acres in overall size, the subject site is large enough to accommodate the church use ss proposed. The proposed church use does not include a daycare center or parochial school, thereby, minimizing any potential adverse impacts to the surrounding area. Moreover, the project site is a corner lot which is surrounded on three sides by public streets. The development of the proposed church on the subject site will likely buffer the existing residences from both Highland Avenue (frontage road) and the I-210 Freeway to the north. As such, the existing church and proposed improvements will be consistent with the land use policies of the City's General Plan and do not intertere with other policies for environmental protection. As such, no adverse impacts related to the proposed improvement to the church facility are anticipated. c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not located within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, • development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. 10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: () () () (/) a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important () () () (/) mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? , Comments: a) The site is not designated as a State Aggregate Resources Area according to the City General Plan, Figure IV-1 and Table IV-1; therefore, there is no impact. b) The site is not designated by the General Plan, Figure IV-1 and Table IV-1, as a valuable mineral resource recovery site; therefore, there is no impact. 11. NOISE. Would the project result in: () () () (/) a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of -other agencies?

Comments: u a) Church uses do not typically create noise impacts, particularly when all activities are held indoors and the use does not included daycare, private school, or outdoor sports activities such as proposed request. The proposed church design also includes an indoor multipurpose space dedicated to recreational uses for its members. Outdoor play areas at this location are not prgvided. Automobile noise in the parking lots will be low compared to noise caused by the existing freeway and traffic on the adjacent streets. Any transient noises caused by engines starting, tire squeaking, and the closing of doors are of very short duration and likely less significant than the noises created everyday at the nearby neighborhood shopping center across the street. Moreover, the church building and adjacent parking areas are significant distance from any adjacent residential uses. However, the church is located approximately 85 feet south of the I-210 freeway right-of-way and is surrounded on three sides by public streets. Although existing background noise levels created by the freeway will exceed any noise coritribution the new church is likely to create, the applicant will be required to prepare a noise study before building permits are issued to demonstrate that interior noise levels can be mitigated to a minimum reduction of 20 dBA below the 65dBA exterior noise standard, or 45 dBA. Further, the constmction of a relatively large building on the site may help to visually and sonically buffer the surcounding residential uses from the freeway. To ensure that the subject use complies noise requirements the following mitigation measure is proposed: • 1) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the Planning Director and Building Official for review and approval, an Acoustical Analysis prepared by a licensed acoustical engineer, to demonstrate how the church building will achieve a minimum reduction of 20 dBA below the 65dBA exterior noise standard, or 45 dBA. b) Church uses 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. Existing ambient (background) noise levels are created by the I-210 freeway. Activities at the church are very B ~50 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 22 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Potentially Significant wan Mi[igaEOn Than Significant No Im ac[ Into ratetl Im ct Im act limited and even more so after 10 p.m. Any noise contribution the new church is likely to create will not have a significant impact on the existing ambient noise levels in the area. d) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.7) indicates that during a constructioh phase, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and constriction equipment will generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-tern noise impacts: 2) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. 3) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specifed in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property line. The developer shall hire a consultant to pertorm 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. 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 measure 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. The site is located approximately 4 1/2 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated. 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)? • • • B -51 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 • City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 23 Less Than Signlfiran[ Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Pie"Bally SignificarR wm~ MNgaEOn '"'" Signfimn[ No Imoact Inc"morated Im ac[ Imoact b) Displace- substantial numbers of existing housing, () () () (/) necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the () () () (/) construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Comments a) The proposed church use is intended to draw congregants from the immediate area that is largely developed with single- and multi-family uses and as such will not induce population growth. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. No impacts are anticipated. b) The project site contains no existing housing units. No adverse impact expelled. c) The project site does not contain any housing units nor will result in the displacement of any person. No impacts are anticipated. u 13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered govemmental facilities, need for new or physically altered govemmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other perfomtance objectives for any of the public services: () () () (/) a) Fire protection? b) Police protection? () () () (/) c) Schools? O O U (/) d) Parks? O O O (/) e) Other public facilities? (). () () (/) Comments: a) The site is located approximately 1/8 mite east of Milliken Avenue and is served by Fire Station 5, which is located on Banyan Street (west of Milliken Avenue), approximately 3/4 mile to the north. The type of project will not cause a decline in service nor requires the construction of new fire facilities or the alteration of existing facilities to serve the project. Standard conditions of approval from the 2007 California Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project so no impacts to fire services will occur. No impacts are anticipated. b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change the nature or pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not result in an increase in property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. • c) The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the project area. 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 significant.

The nearest park is Kenyon Park, located approximately 1/8 mile to the south of the project site. As a church use which draws its congregants from surounding area, its congregants already have access to and utilize existing public facilities and services, so that the project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing park facilities to accommodate the use. No, will the use cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new park 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, curently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project 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 public facilities. Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.9.9), the projected increase in library space under the General Plan will not meet the projected demand. The General Plan 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 project 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 projected need of 15,500 square feet at build-out of the City. 14. RECREATION. Would fhe project: () () () (/) a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facilRy would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities 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 of the City, curently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The proposed church includes indoor multipurpose space dedicated to recreational uses for its members. Outdoor play areas at this location are not provided as the church conducts any outdoor uses in one its larger facilities within its church structure nearby on Etiwanda Avenue. Although Kenyon Park is located approximately 1/8 mile away from the subject site, the church does not plan to formally utilize the park as part of its operations or ministry. Moreover, this project does not create the need for housing 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. b) See a) response above. • • • B ~53 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 • • City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 25 ' ~ - Less Than Significana Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP. 9 I=otenfially Signifiant wan Mitiga0on rnan Significant No ' Im act Inmrpomted Impact ImpaC 15.• TRANSPORTATIONlTRAFFIC. Would the project: () () {) (/) 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 trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of () () () (/) service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either () () () (/) an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that result insubstantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards because of a design () () () (/) feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? () () () (/) f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? () () () (/) g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs () () () (/) supporting alternative transportation {e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? Comments: a) The church use generates approximately 127 average daily vehicle trips (ADT) when services are held. Church services are held on Sundays mornings and perhaps afternoons if a second congregation is added. During the week small special group meetings (e.g., Boy Scouts, youth group, administration, etc.) use the church classrooms and multipurpose room. As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.5), continued development will contribute to the traffic Toad in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is consistent-with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The project is in an area that is developed with existing street improvements or included in the project design to accommodate the traffic generated by the use. Moreover, the project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide any 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 significant impacts are antiapated. b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that the above described uses will generate the following worst case peak hour trips: Church use - 7.48 peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bemardino County voters passed the Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho • Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees. As a result, the San Bemardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This project will be required, as a conditioq of approval, to pay the adopted B ~54 Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 26 Less Than Signifiant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g PoterNally Sipn~fi®nt wm, MN9anon rnan Significant No m eLl RICO IBSCd mpa4S m aCl transportation development fee prior to issuance of building permits. The project is in an area that is developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials. The project will be required to provide missing or deficient street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts are anticipated. c) Located approximately 4 miles north 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 project is in an area that is entirely developed. The project will be required to provide any street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site as required by the City Engineer. The project design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections or fanning uses. The project will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. No impacts are anticipated. e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehiGes and will, therefore, not create an inadequate emergency access. No impacts are anticipated. f) The project is designed to provide adequate on-site parking in compliance with the applicable requirements as set forth in the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code for church uses (public assembly). Church parking is generally based on the seating capacity of the main worship (sanctuary) of the building at one space for every four seats. The floor plan of the proposed church indicates a worship area adjacent to a multipurpose room that can be used for overFlow seating or special occasions. Based on this configuration the following requirements apply: •. •.

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 major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually () () () (/) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project 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 City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3. Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species inhabit the site. b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant is 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 will 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 (CEOA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use B ~57 • Initial Study for DRC2007-00455 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 29 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortm Information Sources: PP g Potentially Signifipnt WRh Mitiga9on Than Signifipn[ No Im act Incomom[etl Impact Im ac[ projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. Wrth these findings and.the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required. c) Development of the site will 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 will further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality will be short-term and cease once construction activities are completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures cohtained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels. • • EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effeds have been adequately analyzed in an eadier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. • B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on February 27, 2008, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to the undeveloped property located at the southeast corner of Highland Avenue and Woodruff Place, with a street frontage of approximately 360 feet along Cotton Cloud Drive, 335 feet along Woodruff Place, and 445 feet along Highland Avenue; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is Highland Avenue and the I-210 Freeway; the property to the south across Cotton Cloud Drive consists ofsingle-family residences; the property to the east adjacent to the site are single-family residences; and the property to the west consists of a neighborhood shopping center (Vineyard Marketplace); and c. The property is roughly square in shape, 5.09 acres in size, and adequate to accommodate the proposed improvements including the provision of required on-site parking and internal vehicular circulation; and • d. Church uses are allowed in the Community Facilities District and residential zones subjectto the approval of a conditional use permit for which the applicant has applied; B -61 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-09 DRC2007-00455 - CORNW ELL ASSOCIATES FOR CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST LATTER DAY SAINTS February 27, 2008 • Page 2 e. The proposed development for the site complies with City Development Code requirements including setbacks, building height, and the provision of on-site parking; and f. The project site is surrounded by urbanized land uses not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not located within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, further development of the site will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals; and g. On October 23, 2007, the applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting to solicit public comments. Six members from the public attended. 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. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed church use and plan for development of the site is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which encourages land uses be distributed to meet local needs and is properly integrated into surrounding context. The site for the church was identified as a specific location for a church use in the Victoria Community Plan and is adequate in size to accommodate the use. Moreover, the proposed project is consistent with the design of the City and complies with the applicable development criteria contained in the Development Code. • b. The proposed church use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The area surrounding the church site is developed with urban uses, and the proposed improvements will not divide an established community or pose adverse impacts to the adjacent neighborhoods/improvements. Moreover, the project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area; therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals. c. The proposed church use complies with applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed improvements will comply with City requirements such as setbacks, building height, and provision of on-site parking. At 5.09 acres, the shape and size of the site is sufficient to more than adequately accommodate the proposed improvements, including efficient on-site circulation without major difficulties or risk of over building of the site. Moreover, the site has direct access to fully developed public streets of the appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the use. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation • measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. B ~62 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-09 DRC2007-00455 - CORNW ELL ASSOCIATES FOR CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST LATTER DAY SAINTS February 27, 2008 • Page 3 b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared incompliance with CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of_ mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration. c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during the project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5.

The building will be setback 38 feet from the curb face on 19th Street, 20 feet from the existing residences to the west, and 141 feet from the existing residences to the. south. Access to the site will be from 19th Street by a 26-foot wide driveway located on the east side of the building. The play area for the preschool will be located on the west side of the building. The building has a maximum height of 26 feet, which is a good fit for the surrounding single-story homes. The applicant has included aline-of-site drawing from 19th Street to demonstrate that all the roof top equipment will be hidden from public view by the rbof parapet. This project requires a wall height variance along the west and south property lines of the site, which if approved, would allow the new walls to replace the current collection of retaining walls. and wood fences. B. Site Characteristics: The project site is located on the south side of 19th Street and west of Beryl Street. The vacant 1.67-acre site is approximately 200 feet wide and 320 feet deep. It is bordered by existing residential development on the west and south and by a proposed single-family subdivision to the east (DRC2006-00892 and SUBTT17769). There are existing multi-family dwellings to the north across 19th Street. The site generally drains north to south; however, the applicant has entered into an agreement with the neighboring property owners to the east to direct drain across their site to accommodate the new development. • C.

Development Code Compliance: The project complies with the Development Code requirements for setbacks, building height, the provision for required on-site parking, and an efficient on-site circulation system. A Variance is required to construct the south and west property line walls (see Item K below). The site is located on and served by a fully developed public street of the appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the proposed use. C. Use Description and Hours of Operation: Religious services will take place on Friday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 12:00 midnight and on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Religious classes will take place on Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with a maximum of 50 students in attendance. The sanctuary includes amulti-purpose room which will be sectioned off during religious services and will be used to serve meals and for special events. A maximum of 6 staff members will be on-site weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., exclusive of the staff for the preschool. The preschool will operate from Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with approximately 45 students and 10 staff members. Throughout the year there will be a number of special events including religious holidays, weddings, and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. D. Parking Calculations: Development Code Section 17.12.040(B)(5)(g), requires one parking stall for every 4 fixed seats in the sanctuary. The project proposes 63 parking spaces. The applicant proposes seating for 160 persons in the sanctuary. The sanctuary is separated from the multi-purpose room by folding doors. A Condition of Approval has been added to the Resolution of Approval limiting maximum occupancy to 252 persons (63 parking spaces x 4 fixed seats = 252 persons). Development Code Section 17.12.040(B)(7)(a) requires one parking space per staff member and one parking space for every 5 students for the preschool. The preschool is proposed to have 10 staff members and 45 students, which requires nineteen parking spaces. The sanctuary related activities will take place during the evenings and on weekends, while the preschool will operate Monday through Friday during the day. The parking calculation below is based on the proposed seating arrangement, the parking requirement for the day care facility, and the assumption that the two uses will noYtake place at the same time: •. •. .~u n ~!

Compatibility with Surroundings: Overall, staff finds that the synagogue and preschool are appropriate uses for the proposed location. Each of the uses are consistent with the goals +• and objectives of the General Plan, which encourages that land uses be distributed to meet local needs and be properly integrated into its surrounding context. Staff has a C& D- 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00641 - WLC ARCHITECTS February 27, 2008 • Page 4 minor concern regarding the proximity of the outdoor play area and the existing single- family residences to the west. A Condition of Approval has been added to the Resolution of Approval requiring that fast growing vegetation be planted along the west property line adjacent to the outdoor play area. This condition, and the fact that the outdoor play area is at a lower grade than the existing residences, should help mitigate this issue. Additionally, a 6-foot high block wall will be required along the boundary of the site and parking lot illumination will be required to be designed to prevent light from spilling onto the adjacent properties. F. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee reviewed the project on January 15, 2007. Overall, the Committee supported the design of the proposed synagogue. Commissioner Stewart asked about the proximity of the proposed outdoor recreation area on the east side of the proposed building and the potential impact to the neighboring residences to the west. The project planner indicated that the neighbors did not raise any concerns during the two neighborhood meetings and that the properties would be separated by a solid block retaining wall over 6 feet in height. Planning Department representative Michael Diaz, Senior Planner, asked the applicant to consider using a dense hedge instead of trees against the wall to help prevent any future issue. Mr. Diaz also asked the applicant to work with staff to identify high quality exterior materials and design details to ensure that the building would be an architectural success. The applicant agreed and stated that they intend to use Jerusalem limestone for the stone veneer element. Commissioner Stewart asked that the landscaping be increased around the site. The applicant agreed to work on these items and the Committee recommended that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final action. • G. Grading Review Committee: The Grading Review Committee reviewed the project on January 15, 2008, and approved the project with added conditions. H. Technical Review Committee: The Grading Review Committee reviewed the project on January 15, 2008, and approved the project with added conditions. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant held two neighborhood meetings, one on June 4, 2006, and one on October 4, 2008. The project planner attended the October meeting and counted nine members of the public in attendance. The neighbors were overall excepting of the project but had questions regarding drainage, property line walls, hours of operation, and whether the facility would be rented out for outside use. The applicant answered each of the questions to the satisfaction of those in attendance' J. Tree Removal Permit: The development of the site will require the removal of 7 trees (DRC2007-00555). The applicant has submitted an Arborist Report reviewing the condition of the trees dated February 4, 2007. The report recommends that tree protection fencing be installed to protect one off-site tree that is directly adjacent to the east property line (Tree A). All of the on-site trees are in direct conflict with the proposed improvements for the site and will need to be removed. A Condition of Approval has been added requiring the protection of Tree A as outlined in the Arborist Report. The Landscape Plan proposes planting approximately 75 new trees on the.site which should adequately mitigate the removal of the 7 existing trees. K. Variance: The applicant is requesting to construct property line walls that vary from 6 feet • to just over 8 feet in height, which is above the maximum 6 feet permitted in the City. The additional wall height is necessary because of the grade difference between the subject C& D- 4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00641 - WLC ARCHITECTS ~- February 27, 2008 • Page 5 site and the existing single-family residences to the south and west. The applicant has agreed to make agood=faith-effort to replace the existing retaining walls and wood fences with new combination walls. FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The. purpose of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict application of the development standards when special circumstances pertaining to the property such as size, shape, topography, or location deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same district. In order to grant a request for a Variance, the Planning Commission must make a series of findings. Generally, these findings focus on unique or special circumstances applicable to a specific property. Following are facts to support the necessary findings: Finding: That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objective of this Code. Fact: The City has a policy of discouraging the placement of new walls .directly adjacent to existing walls. It is also City policy to have 6-foot high solid block walls at the perimeter of residential developments. There is a grade difference between the proposed project and the existing single-family residences to the south and west that make the replacement of the existing combination retaining walls and wood fences impossible without the existing residences having walls that are less than 6 feet high as measured from their side of the wall, which would be a physical hardship for the existing property owners. 2. Finding: That there .are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. Fact: The Development ' Code permits maximum 6-foot high walls between residentially zoned properties. There is an approximately 4-foot grade difference between the applicant's property and the existing single-family residences to the south and west. Without the Variance, the property line walls would only be 4 feet high as measured on the neighboring property owners' side of the wall. This would preclude the neighboring property owners from securing their lots or from screening their lots from the applicant's proposed development. 3. Finding: 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 same zone. Fact: Six-foot high property line walls are required. between newly developed residentially zoned properties to separate the neighboring side and rear yard areas. The existing grade difference along the south and west property lines of the site would result in property line wall heights, as measured from the ,• neighboring property owners side of the wall, of approximately 4 feet, which is C&D- 5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00641 - WLC ARCHITECTS February 27, 2008 is Page 6 2 feet less than the common wall height on similarly zoned properties in the surrounding area. 4. Finding:. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Fact: The proposed additional wall height will allow the applicant to construct a single property line wall to replace the existing series of retaining walls topped by 6-foot high fences, that currently separate the existing single-family residences and the applicant's property. The additional wall height will allow the neighboring property owner to have walls with a height of 6 feet, as measured from their side of the walls, which is consistent with the surrounding properties. 5. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements. in the vicinity.

The applicant has Munoz, Stewart, Diaz Tabe van der Zwaag E C & D- 12 DRC ACTION AGENDA 2006-00641 - WLC ARCHITECTS January 15, 2008 Page 2 Overall, the Committee supported the design of the proposed synagogue. Commissioner Stewart asked about the proximity of the proposed outdoor recreation area on the east side of the proposed building and the potential impact to the neighboring residences to the west. Project planner, Tabe van der Zwaag, indicated that during neighborhood meetings, no concern from the residents had been raised, and that the properties would be separated by a solid block retaining wall over 6 feet in height. Planning Department representative Michael Diaz, Senior Planner, asked the applicant to consider using a dense hedge instead of trees against the wall to help prevent any future issue. Mr. Diaz also asked the applicant to work with staff to identify high quality exterior materials and design details to ensure the building would be an architectural success. The applicant agreed and stated that they intend to use Jerusalem limestone for the stone veneer element. Commissioner Stewart asked that the landscaping be increased around the site. The applicant agreed to work on these items and the Committee recommended that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final action. • • ~J C&D- 13 RESOLUTION NO. 08-10 ,•-,. • A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00641, A'REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A 16,000 SQUARE FOOT SYNAGOGUE AND PRESCHOOL ON 1.67 NET ACRE OF LAND IN THE LOW (L) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 19TH STREET AND WEST OF BERYL STREET; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF-APN: 0202-461-61.

The additional wall height is necessary because of the grade difference between the applicant's site and the existing single-family residences to the south and west. The applicant has agreed to make a good-faith-effort to replace the existing retaining walls and wood fences with new combination walls. C&D-36 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-11 VARIANCE DRC2007-00553 - WLC ARCHITECTS, INC. February 27, 2008 Page 2 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. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified: regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. In that, the City has a policy of discouraging the placement of new walls directly adjacent to existing walls. It is also City policy to have 6-foot high solid block walls at the perimeter of residential developments. There is a grade difference between the proposed project and the existing single-family residences to the south and west that make the replacement of the existing combination retaining walls and wood fences impossible without the existing residences having walls that are less than 6 feet high as measured from their side of the wall, which would be a physical hardship for the existing property owners. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. In that, the Development Code permits maximum 6-foot high walls between residentially zoned properties. There is approximately a 4-foot grade difference between the applicant's property and the existing single-family residences to the south and west. Without the Variance, the property line walls would only be 4 feet high as measured on the neighboring property owners' side of the wall. This would preclude the neighboring property owners from securing their lots or from screening their lots from the applicant's proposed development. • c. 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. In that, 6-foot high property line walls are required between newly developed residentially zoned properties. The existing grade difference along the south and west property lines would result in property line walls with a height, as measured from the neighboring property owner's side of the wall, of approximately 4 feet, which is 2 feet less than is common on similarly zoned properties in the surrounding area. d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. In that, the proposed additional wall height will allow the applicant to construct a single property line wall to replace the existing series of retaining walls topped by 6-foot high fences that currently separate the existing single-family residences and the applicant's property. The additional wall height will allow the neighboring property owners to have walls with a height of 6 feet as measured from their side of the walls, which is consistent with the surrounding properties e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. In that, the applicant proposes constructing property line walls that will have a maximum height of 6 feet as viewed from the adjacent property owners' side of the wall, which is the maximum permitted in the residential zoning district in which the site is located. The additional wall height will only be visible on the applicant's side of the wall. 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA • Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, which covers in-fill developments which meet the following criteria: 1) they are C & D- 37 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-11 VARIANCE DRC2007-00553 - WLC ARCHITECTS, INC. February 27, 2008 Page 3 • consistent with the General Plan; 2) they are of less than 5 acres; 3) they have no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; 4) will not have significant effect on the environment (traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality); and, 5) the site is adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Having determined that the project meets all the above limitations, staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below. Planning Department 1) Approval is for the increase in the maximum height of property line walls to a maximum calculated height of 9 feet. 2) All walls constructed on-site shall be finished in a decorative manner to complement or match the finish of the main building on the site. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 27TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2008.
