d. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element;
and
e. This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent
properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding

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 the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in
terns of access, size, and compatibility with existing land use in the surrounding area as evidenced
by its size exceeding minimum size requirements for the land use designation, and the evidence of
similar uses existing in the immediate area; and
b. That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the
environment nor the surrounding properties as evidenced by the existing single-family development
activities in the immediate area; and
C. That the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan, which
contains provisions for Low Residential land use designations.
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 recommends adoption of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration and the Monitoring Program, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, based upon the findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project,which are listed
below.
Mitigated Measures
Water
1) The project shall comply with the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board's requirements relating to the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and applicable
Best Management Practices.

2) The project's drainage improvements shall be designed in
accordance with City regulations and standards.
Air Quality
1) Throughout grading and construction activities, the project
contractor shall implement the following:
a) The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing
agent(approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB)daily to reduce
PM10 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
b) Perimeter streets shall be swept according to a schedule
established by the City to reduce PM10 emissions
associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may
vary depending upon time of year of construction.
c) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds
exceed 25 mph to minimize PM10 emissions from the site
during such episodes.
d) 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.
e) Select the construction equipment used on-site based on
low-emission factors and high-energy efficiency and
ensures the construction grading plans include a statement
that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained
in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
f) Utilize electric or clean alternative fuel-powered equipment
where feasible.
g) Ensure that construction grading plans include a statement
that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
h) The wheels of vehicles leaving the construction site shall
be washed.
Noise
1) During project site excavation and grading, the contractor shall
implement the following:
a) Equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with
properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with
manufacturers' standards.

b) Place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted
noise is directed away from sensitive receptors to the
southeast of the site.
c) Locate equipment staging in areas that will create the
greatest distance between construction related noise
sources and noise sensitive receptors to the southeast of
the site during all project construction.
d) Limit all construction related activities that would result in
high noise levels between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:00
p.m. Monday through Saturday, unless such construction
activities do not result in noise levels exceeding 45 dBA at
residences to the southeast of the site. No construction
shall be allowed on Sundays and public holidays.
C. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c)of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the
proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources orthe habitat upon
which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning
Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of
adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,

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 21051.6 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.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management-The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, 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
