RANCHO •
Date: April 14, 2010 CUCAMONGA
To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
By: • Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner
Subject: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18708 -
TAVA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - A request to subdivide 5.02 gross acres of land into
7 lots in the Very Low Residential District (.1-2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda
Specific Plan, located east of East Avenue and on the south side of Banyan Street-
APN: 0226-102-02. Related File: Minor Exception DRC2009-00652. Staff has prepared
a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Project Density: 1.39 dwelling units per acre.
• B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Vacant Land; Etiwanda Specific Plan, Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units
per acre)
South - Vacant Land; Etiwanda Specific Plan, Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units
per acre)
East - Flood Control Channel; Open Space
West - Vacant Land – Approved 56 Lot Subdivision (SUBTT17651); Etiwanda Specific
Plan, Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)
C. General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)
North - Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)
South - Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)
East - Open Space
West - Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)
D. Site Characteristics: The 5.02-acre site is dominated by sparse native vegetation and
drains roughly from north to south. The same applicant has an approved 56 lot subdivision
(SUBTT17651) to the west with which the project will share a public street. There are
vacant lots to the north and south and San Bernardino Flood Control property to the east.
The properties to the north, south and west are zoned Very Low Residential (VL) (.1-2
dwelling units per acre) and the property to the east is zoned Open Space (OP).
ANALYSIS:
• A. General: The site is within the Very Low Development District of the Etiwanda Specific
Plan (ESP). The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide the site into 7 lots for the
development of single:family homes; however, no housing product is proposed at this
Item A

time. The project is a natural extension of the approved Tentative Tract Map to the west
and meets all required Development Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan:
Required by the ESP Proposed by Applicant
Minimum Net Average Lot Area 25,000 square feet 26,881 square feet
Minimum Net Lot Area 20,000 square feet 26,645 square feet
Lot Width at Front Setback 90 feet 92 feet minimum
Lot Depth 200 feet 291 feet minimum
Minimum Frontage at Front P.L. 40 feet 90 feet minimum
B. Minor Exception: The applicant has requested approval of a Minor Exception for wall
heights up to 8 feet in height, which is above the maximum 6 feet permitted by the
Development Code. The additional wall height is necessary because of the grade
difference between the project site and the vacant lot to the north. The Minor Exception
will be approved separately by the Planning Director as required by the Development
Code.
C. Environmental Mitigation Requirement: A biological survey was prepared (Chambers
Group, December 2009) for the 5.02-acre project site. The study found that historically
the area was subject to flooding by Etiwanda Creek and as a result the dominant
vegetation community was Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub. In recent years,
anthropomorphic changes to the landscape, such as road construction and channelization •
of Etiwanda Creek, have changed the hydrology in the watershed. This change affects
the vegetation communities on the site. The floodplain no longer floods occasionally as it
did in the past (every 5 to 10 years); therefore, the dominant vegetation community onsite
has progressed to a later successional stage of Mixed Chaparral.
Because the site no longer receives the occasional flooding and sediment reworking, the
likelihood for the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat and other species may change over time.
It should be noted, though, that focused studies were performed for the coastal California
Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat on the adjacent property to the west in
2005 and 2007, and neither species was detected at that time. However, based on the
presence of suitable habitat on the site, and the amount of time that has passed since
those surveys were conducted, focused surveys were recommended by the environmental
consultant prior to grading activities.
• Conditions of Approval have been added to the Resolution of Approval requiring the
applicant to perform focused environmental surveys for the coastal California Gnatcatcher
and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat prior to the approval of a rough grading permit. In
the instance that the focused survey finds either the California Gnatcatcher or
San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat on the site, the applicant will be required to fulfill all
mitigation measures recommended by the environmental consultant.
D. Trails Advisory Committee: The project went to the Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) on
August 13, 2008, in order to determine the termination point of the master planned
Community Trail. The choice before the TAC was whether the Community Trail, which is •
planned to run along the south property line of the project to the west, should end at the
14 -A

west property line off the subject site, to become a local feeder trail, or should end at the
east property line of the project.
The TAC recommended that the Community Trail continue to the east property line of the
site and then turn northward along the site's east property line, to eventually connect to the
future Banyan Street Community Trail. The TAC required that the applicant provide
12 feet of the required 20-foot trail easement, with the property owner to the south
providing the other 8 feet. The applicant has proposed providing 15 feet of the trail, with
the property owner to the south providing the remaining 5 feet, when that site is eventually
developed. The TAC also required that the applicant provide the full width of the proposed
Community Trail along the site's east property line and to provide a corner cutoff for
maintenance vehicle access.
It should be noted that motorized vehicle access to the Community Trails is limited to City
maintenance vehicles. The future homeowners of the lots will only be permitted to access
their rear yards with motorized vehicles from the public street that runs along the front of
their lots and not from the Community Trail.
E. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 16, 2009.
Notification of the meeting was sent to all property owners within 660 feet of the site.
Because of the limited number of property owners adjacent to the site, and the outreach
• provided by the applicant prior to the meeting, there were no attendees at the meeting.
F. Design Review Committee: On March 16, 2010, the Design Review Committee (Munoz,
Wimberly, and Troyer) reviewed the project and recommended approval.
G. Technical Review and Grading Committees: The Technical and Grading Committees
reviewed the project on March 16, 2010, and recommended approval subject to minor
changes and the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution of Approval.
H. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the 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 related
to aesthetics, air quality, hazards and waste materials, biological resources, land use and
planning, cultural resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, noise and
public services, 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, the City staff provided public notice of the public
comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A
Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and
compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
• within a 660-foot radius of the project site.

ACTION: The Committee recommended that the applicant redesign the proposed
7-lot subdivision in order to incorporate 20-foot wide Community Trials adjacent to
the south and east property lines of the site. The applicant will be required to
provide 12 feet of the Community Trail along the south property line, with the
remaining 8 feet provided by the property owner to the south when that site is
developed.
The applicant agreed to redesign the east property line Community Trail to
eliminate the drainage channel that was originally planned to run adjacent to the
• east side of the trail. Additionally,the applicant agreed to provide a corner cutoff
at the southeast corner of Lot 7 and a vehicle turnaround at the northeast corner

of Lot 7. The Committee agreed to allow the applicant to place a manhole cover
(with decomposed granite glued to the cover) within the trail easement as the
Cucamonga Water District found all other placement locations unacceptable.
Staff was directed to work with the applicant to provide direction on the location
of a drive access to the future trail from the public street for trail maintenance
purposes.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? () ( ) () (/)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ( ) ( ) ( ) (V)
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
• 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 site is located east of East Avenue and on the south side of Banyan Street within the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and is characterized by vacant residentially zoned land to the north,
south, and west and by a flood control channel to the east. The visual quality of the area will
not degrade as a result of this project. Design review is required prior to approval. City
standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and facilities to
minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance
with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution.
d) The project would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on site plans
which require review for consistency with City standards that requires shielding, diffusing, or
indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of
illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.
2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
to non-agricultural use?
• b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)

c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, () () () V)
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion
of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance. The site is located east of East Avenue and on the south side of Banyan Street
within the Etiwanda Specific Plan and is characterized by vacant residentially zoned land to
the north, south, and west and by a flood control channel to the east. There are
approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which approximately 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 farmland parcels are small,.ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic
viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the
General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan 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 is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City.
c) The site is located east of East Avenue and on the south side of Banyan Street within the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and is characterized by vacant residentially zoned land to the north,
south, and west and by a flood control channel to the east. The nearest agricultural use is
more than 1/4 mile west 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 O (✓) O ()
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?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant () (✓) () ()

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 would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain
in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an
on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment
work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. They then transfer
to a different site where the process begins 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
shalt provide evidence that low-emission mobile construction
equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and
found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform
to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District(SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff.
3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards
noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied
either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray.
4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in
SCAQMD Rule 1108.
5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402
and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following
provisions:
• Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through
seeding and watering.

• Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
• Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to
erosion over extended periods of time.
• Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed
excavated soil during and after the end of work periods.
• Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local
ordinances and use sound engineering practices.
• Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if
silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs
as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon 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 PM10 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 PM10 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 on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 5.6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nox,
ROG, and PM10 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 on 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:

10) All residential structures shall be required to incorporate high
efficiency/low polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and
water heaters.
11) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to
incorporate thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR identified
the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for
which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council.
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.
a) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects
of pollution than* the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as
• sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers,
convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care
centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential
to create significant impacts if they are located within one-fourth mile of sensitive
receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401.
According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if
they are located within one-fourth mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within
one-fourth mile of a sensitive receptor: two public schools and single-family
residences. 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.
b) Typically, the uses proposed 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 () V) O ()
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

Comments:
a &b)The project site is surrounded by vacant residentially zoned land to the north, south, and west
and by a flood control channel to the east. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and
Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is within an area of sensitive biological
resources; therefore, development may adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants
or animals.
b) A biological survey was prepared (Chambers Group, December 2009) of the 5.02-acre
project site. The study found that historically the area was subject to flooding by
Etiwanda Creek and as a result the dominant vegetation community was Riversidean Alluvial
Fan Sage Scrub. In recent years, anthropomorphic changes to the landscape, such as road
construction and channelization of Etiwanda Creek, have changed the hydrology in the
watershed. This change affected the vegetation communities on the subject site. The
floodplain no longer floods occasionally (every 5 to 10 years); therefore, the dominant
vegetation community onsite has progressed to a later successional stage of mixed

Chaparral. Because the site no longer receives the occasional flooding and sediment
reworking, the- likelihood for the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat and other species may
change over time. It should be noted, though, that focused studies were performed for the
coastal California gnatcatcher and San Bernardino.Kangaroo Rat on the adjacent property to
the west in 2005 and 2007, and neither species was detected at the time. However, based
on the presence of suitable habitat on the site, and the amount of time that has passed since
those surveys were conducted, focused surveys are recommended prior to grading activities.
The following mitigation measures are recommended to reduce any potential impacts from
the development of the site to less-than-significant:
1) Prior to issuance of clearing and grubbing, grading or building
permits, the applicant shall perform focused surveys for the
California Gnatcatcher and San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat.
2) In the instance that the focused survey finds either the
California Gnatcatcher or San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat, the
applicant 'shall be required to fulfill all mitigation measures
recommended by their environmental consultant.
3) If mitigation measures are recommended by the environmental
consultant, the applicant shall complete said mitigations to the
satisfaction of the Planning Director prior to the issuance of clearing
and grubbing, grading or building permits.
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 has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any
wildlife corridors that may have existed. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) There are no heritage trees on the project site; therefore, the proposed project is not in
conflict with any local ordinance.
f) 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 ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)
of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance ( ) (/) ( ) ( )
of an archeological resource pursuant to§ 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ( ) (/) ( ) ( )

Comments:
a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation), There will be no impact.
b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however,
the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans
according to the General Plan FEIR(Section 5.11). Construction activity, particularly grading,
soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential
archaeological resources. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
1) 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 archaeological heritage of
the area.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend Conditions of
Approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant,
important, and unique prehistoric resources, following
appropriate CEQA Guidelines.
• Prepare a Technical Resources Management report, documenting
the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino .County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an
alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or
resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the
Sphere-of-Influence, including the 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 modern man
occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by
Quatemary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2; therefore, the following mitigation
measures shall be implemented:
1) If any paleontological resource (i.e., plant, or animal fossils) are •
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The

paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures
(i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but
not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
'documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository(i.e., San Bernardino County Museum).
•. Submit summary report to 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
project site has already been disrupted by construction of infrastructure and surrounding
developments. 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.
6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial
adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death
involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓)

e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of O O 'O (✓)
septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems
where sewers are not available for the disposal of
wastewater?
Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site, and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the
Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the
General Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR. The Red Hill Fault,
passes within .75 mile northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately
1.7 mile north. These faults are both capable of producing MW 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the •
San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to MW 7.5 earthquakes is 4 miles northeasterly of the
site and the San Andreas, capable of up to M, 8.2 earthquakes,.is 6 miles northeasterly of the
site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building
Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less-than-significant.
b) The proposed project will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site
soils. 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.,o emissions,
in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought
resistant landscaping as soon as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule
established by the City to reduce PM.,o emissions associated with
vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon
time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed
25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such
episodes. •.

4) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall
be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for
96 hours or more to reduce PM1p 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 would not withdraw
•
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. Soil types
on-site consist of 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. Soil types on-site consist
of Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand Soil association according to General Plan Exhibit V-3 and

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD). The
project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The State of California is
authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The General
Construction 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, administers these permits.
Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a 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, including site clearance and grading:
• Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would •
specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction pollutants
from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from
moving off-site into receiving waters.

• Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.
• Perform inspections of all BMPs.
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A
construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES
permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP). To comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor
will be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) during
construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post-construction
operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP,
prepared by MDS Consulting on October 5, 2008, that identifies Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the drainage
system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads, and other impermeable surfaces
must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and
non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant
levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural
controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing Erosion
and Sediment Control Plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed by any
businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices, such as periodic parking lot
sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system.
The following mitigation measures would be required to control additional storm 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 storm drain system to the
maximum extent practical.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the
Grading Plan, and implemented for the proposed project that
identifies specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion
from the time ground disturbing activities are initiated through
completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall include the
following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading
and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods
experienced in southern California, and b) An inspection and
maintenance program shall be included to ensure that any erosion
which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project
will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within
a specified time frame.
• 3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel.
dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from
the site when there is rainfall or other runoff.

4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be
performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to
control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from
the site.
Post- Construction Operational:
5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the
Water Quality Management Plan prepared by MDS Consulting on
October 5, 2008, to reduce pollutants after construction entering the
storm 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.
b) According to CVWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided from ground water in
the Cucamonga and Chino Basins. CVWD has adopted a Master Plan that estimates
demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed 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 approximately 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 surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site; however, the project will not alter the course of any 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 Official and City
Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the project will not result in
substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site. The impact is not considered significant.
d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new building and hardscape proposed
on a 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 patterns, and the rate and •
amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new building and hardscape proposed

been designed to handle the flows. The project will not result in substantial additional
sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the --
Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase
in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are anticipated.
f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase
in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus
resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is for new development or significant
redevelopment; therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The following mitigation measures
shall be implemented:
1) 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.
2) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, applicant shall obtain
a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General
Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources
Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (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-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan
Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to convey a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and
provides an integrated approach for regional and 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 tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep
• eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams.
Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the
level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams
and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City.

Comments:
a) The site is located east of East Avenue and on the south s`de of Banyan Street within the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and is characterized by vacant residentially zoned land to the north,
south, and west and by a flood control channel to the east. This project will be of similar
design and size to the future residential development to'the north, south, and west. The
project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
b) The P roject site land use designation is Very Low Residential. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental
protection. As such, no impacts 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 within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development could
adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals. The mitigation measures
listed in Section 4 Biological, will reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels.

Comments:
a) The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to
General Plan Exhibit V-13. A Noise Study was required and prepared by
Vista Environmental on February 10, 2010. The project site is primarily impacted by noise
from the 210 Freeway, which is located approximately 1,000 feet to the south of the project.
The future residential units will also experience background noise impacts from the
15 freeway, Banyan Street, and from the internal roadways of the proposed projects to the
south and west.
The results of the exterior noise analysis found that all the lots are expected to exceed the
60dBA Ldn exterior noise standard, with exterior noise levels ranging from 60.1 dBA Ldn to
65 dBA Ldn. With the proposed mitigation measure No. 1 incorporated into the proposed
project, the future levels will be in conformance with the City's exterior noise standard. It
should be noted that the City requires 6-foot high solid block walls along the side and rear
property lines (behind the required front yard setback) of all new residential developments.
This standard requirement meets or exceeds the mitigation measure outlined in the
noise study.
• The results of the interior noise analysis found that the future homes on all the lots would
exceed the City's 45 dBA interior noise standard in a windows open condition. With windows
closed, all the interior noise levels would be at or below the required interior noise standard.

Comments:
a) The site, located on Banyan Street, east of East Avenue, would be served by Fire Station
No. 176 located approximately one-half mile from the project site. 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 facilities. Standard
Conditions of Approval from the Uniform 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
pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial 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. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development.
A Standard Condition of Approval will require the developer to pay the School Impact Fees.
With this standard mitigation, impacts to the school districts are not considered significant.

d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
• nearest park is located one-fourth mile from the project site. 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 facilities. A Standard
Condition of Approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts
are anticipated.
• e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The 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 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 built a new library within
the Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square feet, which is
in excess of the projected need of 15,500 square feet at build-out of the City.
• 14. RECREATION. Would the project:
a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional ( ) ( ) ( ) (/)
parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial
physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be
accelerated?
b) Does the 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, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park, Etiwanda Creek Park, is located one-fourth mile from the project site. This
project is not proposing any new housing or large employment generator that would cause an
increase in the use of parks or other recreational facilities. A Standard Condition of Approval
will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated.
b) See a) response above.

15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in () O () (✓)
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 O O O (✓)
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
results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature () () '\ () (✓)
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g.,farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? () () () (✓)
0 Result in inadequate parking capacity? ✓ •
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs () () () (✓)
supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts,
bicycle racks)?
Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 91 vehicle trips daily. The proposed
project includes the development of 7 single-family residences. The Rancho Cucamonga
Traffic Model estimates that each single-family residence will generate 13 trips daily. As
noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.5), continued development will contribute to the
traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is consistent with the
General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The project is in an
area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in project design.
The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume
or congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street
improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City
roadway standards. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development Fee
that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to
fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts
are anticipated.
b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each single-family residence will
generate1 two-way peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino 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 Bernardino County

Congestion Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic
Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This project will be required, as a Condition of
•
Approval, to pay the adopted transportation development fee prior to issuance of building
permit. The project is in an area that is mostly 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 street improvements (curb, gutter, and
sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts are anticipated.
c) Located approximately 6.5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the
flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. No impacts are anticipated.
d) The project is in an area that is mostly developed. The project will be required to provide
street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. The
project design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections, or farming
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 vehicles and will therefore
not create an inadequate emergency access. In order to meet Rancho Cucamonga Fire
Protection Districts (RCFPD)two points of access requirement, the applicant and the RCFPD
• have entered into an agreement, which states that the proposed project cannot be developed
until (1) a second point of access is constructed on the adjacent property per RCFPD
Standards and (2) a Fire Protection Plan is prepared, plan checked and approved. No
impacts are anticipated.
f) The project design has adequate parking in compliance with standards of the Rancho
Cucamonga Development Code and will therefore not create an inadequate parking capacity.
No impacts are anticipated.
g) The project design includes, or the project will be conditioned to provide, features supporting
transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e.g., bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc.).

Comments:
a) The proposed.project is served by the Cucamonga Valley Water District sewer system, which
has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located
within Rancho Cucamonga. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa
Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are
anticipated.
b) The proposed project is served by the Cucamonga Valley Water District sewer system, which •
has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located
within Rancho Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which are at
capacity. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated.
c) 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. The impact is not considered
significant.
d) The project is served by the Cucamonga Valley Water District water system. There is
currently a sufficient water supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this
project. No impacts are anticipated.
e) The proposed project is served by the Cucamonga Valley Water District sewer system, which
has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant, located

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality () (1) () ()
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 O O O (• )
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 O (✓) O ()
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
• either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the
project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development may
adversely affect.rare or endangered species of plants or animals..
A biological survey was prepared (Chambers Group, December 2009) of the 5.02-acre
project site. The study found that historically the area was subject to flooding by the
Etiwanda Creek and as a result the dominant vegetation community was Riversidean Alluvial
Fan.Sage Scrub.. In recent years, anthropomorphic changes to the landscape, such as road
construction and channelization of the Etiwanda Creek have changed the hydrology in the
watershed. This change affected the vegetation communities on.the. subject site. The
floodplain no longer floods occasionally (every 5 to 10 years); therefore, the dominant
vegetation community onsite has progressed to a later successional stage of mixed
Chaparral. Because the site no longer receives the occasional flooding and sediment
reworking, the likelihood for the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat and other species may
change over time. It should be noted, though, that focused studies were performed for the
coastal California Gnatcatcher and San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat on the adjacent property to
the west in 2005 and 2007, and neither species was detected at the time. However, based on
the presence of suitable habitat on the site, and the amount of time that has passed since
those surveys were conducted, focused surveys are recommended prior to grading activities.
Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are. at
less-than-significant levels.'
b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the
• site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2001 General
Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a
Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of
build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the
Rev. 3113/07
)4--103
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
SUBTT18708 Page 30
General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime
farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, aesthetics and visual
resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they
would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a
Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the
General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by
developing mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable
natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no
further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required.
c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact.
Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts
resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities
were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with
the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this
Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program BIR, or other CEQA process, one

��a PROGRAM
Project File No.: Tentative Tract SUBTT18708
This Mitigation Monitoring Program(MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
III3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action,what action will be taken and when, and .
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18708
Public Review Period Closes: April 14, 2010
Project Name: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18708
Project Applicant: Mr. Scott Allen (TAVA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY)
Project Location(also see attached map): Located east of East Avenue and on the south side of
Banyan Street, within the Etiwanda Specific Plan - APN: 0226-102-02.
Project Description: A request to subdivide 5.02-gross acres of land into 7 lots in the Very Low
Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre).
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency,has conducted an
• Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
. Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive(909)477-2750 or Fax(909)477-2847.

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, the 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, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
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 in compliance 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 project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
