REVIEW DRC2001-00317, THE DESIGN REVIEW OF 172 SINGLE-FAMILY
LOTS FOR TENTATIVE TRACTS 14497, 14498, AND 15838 ON 52.44
ACRES OF LAND IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (2-4 DWELLING
UNITS PER ACRE) OF THE ETIWANDA NORTH SPECIFIC PLAN IN THE
RANCHO ETIWANDA PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DAY CREEK BOULEVARD AND WILSON
AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF —APN: 225-
101-31, 45 AND A OF PORTION 43.
A. Recitals.
1. Standard Pacific Homes filed an application for the approval of Development Review
DRC2001-00317, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 27th day of February 2002, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting 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 bythe 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 meeting on February 27, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the southeast comer of Day Creek
Boulevard and Wilson Avenue and is presently vacant; and
b. The properties to the north, south, and west of the subject site are vacant. The
property to the east are existing single-family homes and Utility Corridor; and
C. The property has been rough graded; and
d. The project consists of Tract(s) 14497, 14498 and 15838; and
e. The project falls within the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting 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; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 02-30

b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; and
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(State Clearinghouse No. 8808291)was prepared and
certified by the County of San Bernardino as a Master Environmental Impact Report for the
University/Crest Planned Development. The California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)provides
that once a Master Environmental Impact Report has been certified, no further Environmental Impact
Report or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Master
Environmental Impact Report. On October 26, 1999, the County of San Bernardino Board of
Supervisors certified a supplement to the Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse
No. 98121091) because of a revision to the University/Crest Planned Development. In August of
1999, the City of Rancho Cucamonga prepared an Addendum to address issues associated with
adoption of the Rancho Etiwanda Development Agreement. The Addendum identified no substantial
changes in the project that would require a major revision to the previous Environmental Impact
Report. Based upon the facts and information contained in the certified Environmental Impact
Report, together with all written and oral reports, the Planning Commission finds that there is no
substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment.
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous Environmental Impact Report because of no new significant environmental effects or
substantial increase in the severity of the 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 Environmental
Impact Report 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 Environmental
Impact Report 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 Environmental Impact Report; 2)
significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous
Environmental Impact Report; 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
Environmental Impact Report, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
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
and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference:
