A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING STREET NAME CHANGE
DRC2002-00338 TO RENAME PORTIONS OF THE EXISTING KLUSMAN
AVENUE TO TOLSTOY RANCH ROAD FOR THAT EXISTING PORTION OF
KLUSMAN AVENUE AT THE WESTERLY END OF WHIRLAWAY STREET,
LOCATED NORTH OF HILLSIDE ROAD AND WEST OF ARCHIBALD AVENUE,
AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF
A. Recitals.
1. The design and ultimate development of portions of Klusman Avenue make it necessary to
affect a Street Name Change forthe existing portion of Klusman Avenue at the westerly end of Whirlaway
Street, located north of Hillside Road and west of Archibald Avenue. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Street Name Change is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 22nd day of May 2002, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing for the above-mentioned street rename proposal, Street Name
Change DRC2002-00338, pursuant to the City Municipal Code, Chapter 12.12.
3. The Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division prepared a report that addressed the justification for
the change, recommended a street naming plan, provided a replacement name,and discussed the impacts
of the recommended change.
4. 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 May 22, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, together with public
testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The City's Street Naming Ordinance establishes that"given or surnames of persons living
or dead, except for pioneer family names, historic persons, etc"are unacceptable." This specifically does
not allow for the use of given or surnames, but the exception would allow for the use of a name associated
with a historic landmark, the Demens-Tolstoy House.
b. Any diagonal street with a generally straight alignment which does not conform basically to
a grid pattern shall be designated "Road." The existing portion of Klusman Avenue conforms to a grid
pattern, but its southerly extension (through Tract 16262, DRC2001-00584) has an angular alignment and,
therefore the street rename should be designated a "Road."
C. The use of historically significant place and family names is expressly encouraged by the
Street Naming Ordinance. The proposed street name(Tolstoy Ranch Road)was selected because of its
historical tie to the Demens-Tolstoy House.

d. That the proposed change is deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety,

Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)of the State CEQA
