A. Recitals.
1. Rancho Etiwanda 685, LLC filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16306, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On December 11, 2002, and continued to January 8, 2003, the Planning Commission of
the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and
concluded said hearing 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 by the 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 hearing on December 11, 2002, and January 8, 2003, including written and oral staff
reports and public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located north of the Route 210 Freeway, located
at the southeast comer of Day Creek Boulevard and Vintage Drive; and
b. The properties to the north and west of the subject site are vacant. The properties
to the east are developed with single-family homes, and to the south is the westbound off-ramp for
Day Creek Boulevard; and
C. The property has been rough graded and grubbed; and
d. The proposed subdivision falls within the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development
and is designed in substantial compliance with the approved Development Agreement for the
Rancho Etiwanda area; and
e. The proposed subdivision includes lots that meet the minimum 7,200 square foot
area minimum; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-05

f. The proposed subdivision is designed with lots that average over 9,000 square feet
in area, thereby exceeding the minimum lot area of 7,200 square feet; and
g. The proposed subdivision will have gross density of 3.8 dwelling units per acre,
which is consistent with the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development and the Etiwanda North
Specific Plan.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting on December 11, 2002, 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
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(EIR) (State Clearinghouse No.8808291)was prepared
and certified by the County of San Bernardino in June 1991 as a Master EIR for the University/Crest
Planned Development. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a
Master EIR has been certified, no further EIR or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent
projects within the scope of the Master EIR. On October 26, 1999, the City of Rancho Cucamonga
certified a supplement to the EIR(State Clearinghouse No. 98121091) because of a revision to the
University/Crest Planned Development. In August 2001, 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 EIR. Based upon the facts and information contained in the certified
EIR, together with all written and oral reports, this Commission finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment, and concludes as
follows:
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous EIR because of no new significant environmental effects or substantial increase in
the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and
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 EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; and
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 EIR 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 EIR; 2) significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; 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 EIR, 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
