REVIEW DRC2003-00191, A DESIGN REVIEW OF BUILDING ELEVATIONS
AND DETAILED SITE PLAN FOR 38 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS OF TRACT
16370 IN THE AMENDED TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 15974 WITHIN THE
VICTORIA ARBORS MASTER PLAN IN THE VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN,
GENERALLY EAST OF DAY CREEK BOULEVARD AND GENERALLY
NORTH OF CHURCH STREET AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF -APN: 0227-161-46.
A. Recitals.
1. US Home filed an application for the approval of Development Review DRC2003-00191,
as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development
Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 27th day of August 2003, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting 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 meeting on August 27, 2003, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The properties to the north and east of the project site are vacant and the future
Victoria Park Lane. Church Street and vacant land is generally to the south and vacant land is west
of the site.
b. 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; and
C. The project design is consistent with the Victoria Arbors Master Plan and the
following goals and policies:
i) The proposed residential uses are compatible to adjacent single-family uses
as opposed to more intense multi-family uses.
ii) The proposed infill project would create opportunities of a population that
reflect income, age, occupation, race, ethnic background lifestyle, values, interest, and religion may
interact, exchange ideas, and realize common goals,that are similar to the existing neighborhood to
the west.

iii) The proposed use is in close proximity of a transportation network that is
consistent with community goals. The project would eventually be a part of infill single-family
residences within proximity to the 1-15 Freeway to the east via Base Line Road and Foothill
Boulevard, and the 210 Freeway to the north via Day Creek Boulevard.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,this
Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. That the project is consistent with the General Plan and the Victoria Arbors Master
Plan; and
b. That the design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General
Plan, and the Victoria Arbors Master Plan; and
C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. That the design of the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. That the project is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and
f. That the design of the project will not conflict with any easement acquired by the
public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision.
4. An Environmental Impact Report(State Clearinghouse No. 8808291)was prepared and
certified by the City Council as a Master Environmental Impact Report for the Victoria Arbors Master
Plan. The California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) provides that once a Master Environmental
Impact Report has been certified, no further Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration is
required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Master Environmental Impact Report. On
July 7, 1999, the City Council certified a supplement to the Environmental Impact Report (State
Clearinghouse No. 98041137). Based upon the facts and information contained in the certified
Environmental Impact Report, together with all written and oral reports, the Planning Commission
finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the
environment.
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous Environmental Impact Report because of no new significant environmental effects or
substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects.
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 Environmental
Impact Report because of the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
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 Environmental
Impact Report was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: 1) the project will have

DRC2003-00191 — US HOME

Page 3
one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Environmental Impact Report; 2)
significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous
Environmental Impact Report; 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
Environmental Impact Report, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
