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 as conditions of approval.

MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: SUBTT16332
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.
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 for processing the project. Reports will be available from the City upon
request at the following address:

3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staff's is
needed,as determined by the project planner or responsible City department,to monitor
specific mitigation activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project
planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date,
the completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form.
After each measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the
specific phase of development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be
signed off as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the
bottom of the MMP Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or
additions. An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or
responsible City department and a copy provided to the appropriate design,
construction, or operational personnel.
7. The project planner,or responsible City department, has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after
written notification has been issued. The project planner, or responsible City
department,also has the authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with
a mitigation measure attached hereto is not occurring. The project planner, or
responsible City department, has the authority to hold issuance of a business license
until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation measures) that require monitoring after project completion
shall be the responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department. The
Department shall require the applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of
guarantee) with the City. These funds shall be used by the City to retain consultants
and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and report on the mitigation measure for the
required period of time.
9. In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring,the applicant shall provide the
City with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the
monitoring results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual
qualified to know whether the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The
monitoring/reporting plan shall conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the
City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits.
