Highland Avenue right-of-way, the property to the south consists of a single-family residential
neighborhood and church site, the property to the east is a single-family residential neighborhood
and partially vacant, and the property to the west is a single-family residential neighborhood and a

a. The proposed single-family residential project is consistent with the objectives of
the General Plan as the site is designated Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre); and
b. The proposed residential use is in accord with the objectives of the Development
Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan and the purposes of the district in which the site is located as the
properties are within the Very Low Residential District (.1-2 dwelling units per acre); and
C. The proposed residential use is in compliance with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan by fulfilling the development
standards of said regulations; 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 as the project is in compliance with the findings of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration that was issued for Tentative Tract 16279.
4. Environmental review was completed with the tract and original development review for
this site, and approved by the Planning Commission on June 12, 2002. The California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been
adopted, no further environmental review is required for subsequent projects within the scope of the
Mitigated Negative Declaration. The proposed project of 79 single-family residences is within the
scope of the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration. Based upon the facts and information contained
in the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration,together with written and oral staff reports, the Planning
Commission finds that there are no substantial changes in the project or the site and its surrounding
conditions that would require revision to the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. All
environmental mitigation measures from the previously approved tract and development review shall
apply to this project.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application, including house products, wall and fence plan,
conceptual grading, and conceptual landscaping, subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference:

of the homes throughout the project and to avoid monotony. In
the situation where adjacent homes are of the same house plan
type; these two homes shall be designed with differing
architectural styles. Before repeating the same house plan with
the same architecture, there must be at least a three house
separation."
With each submittal for a lot plotting approval, the developer shall
provide an updated "House Plotting Matrix" that will provide a running
count and summary of the house product approvals to show compliance
with the house plotting criteria and development standards including
setbacks, coverage, etc. Conformance with Development Code
