A. Recitals.
1. Fairfield Development filed an application for the approval of Development Review
No. 00-67, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of March 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
on that date.
3. All legal 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:

Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.

referenced public hearing on March 28, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the north side of 4th Street west of
Milliken Avenue and the property is bounded by the Empire Lakes golf course to the west and north,
vacant land to the east, and vacant land in the City of Ontario to the south across 4th Street. The
subject site has an approximate street frontage of 850 feet along 4th Street; and
b. Storm drain improvements necessary to accommodate the project are not in excess
of that provided by the master plan of storm drainage; and

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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan.
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the
purpose of the Empire Lakes Subarea 18 Industrial Area Specific Plan in which the site is located.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, the Empire Lakes Subarea 18 Industrial Area Specific Plan, and the
Development Agreements for the subject property recorded in the San Bernardino County Official
Records as Document No. 94432407.
d. The proposed 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.
4. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified as a Master EIR
(SCH#93102055) for the Subarea 18 Specific Plan. The California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Section 21157.1 provides that the preparation and certification of a Master EIR allows for the
limited review of subsequent projects that were described in the Master EIR as being within the
scope of the Master EIR. However, because of the changes that are submitted by this project, an
Addendum was prepared for said project. An Addendum to the Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea
18 Specific Plan final EIR is appropriate documentation because some changes or additions are
necessary to describe the proposed residential project, however none of the conditions described in
the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the attached Addendum based on the
following findings:
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous EIR because of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
severity of previously identified significant effects.
b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken, which will require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects.
C. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was
certified as complete, that shows any of the following: 1)the project will have one or more significant
effects not discussed in the previous EIR; 2) significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; 3) mitigation measures or alternatives
previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or
more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative; or, 4) mitigation measures or alternatives, which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the Final EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on
the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
