Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.

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.

PROGRAM
Project File No.: Development Review DRC2002-00318
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 foreach 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:

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
