e. The project design is consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the Basic
Development Standards therein, including, but not limited to, the following goals and policies:
i) Create opportunities wherein a population diverse in terms of income, age,
occupation, race, ethnic background, lifestyle, values, interests, and religion may interact,exchange
ideas, and realize common goals. (Project would create single-family detached homes with differing
price ranges adjacent to other single-family detached homes and multiple family attached homes.)
ii) Encourage opportunities to mix different, but compatible, land uses and
activities. (Project would add single-family detached residences adjacent to proposed multiple family
attached residences. Residential land uses are considered compatible as opposed to more intense
commercial uses.)
iii) Organize land uses to avoid creating nuisances among adjacent land uses.
(Consistent with the City's General Plan intent for Low-Medium Residential District, this project will
result in an orderly transition in density from the Medium Residential District to the northeast adjacent
to the 1-15 Freeway.)
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing 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 tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,and any
applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General
Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and
f. The design of the tentative tract 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. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-118

Page 3
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.
C. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the

1) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction field survey
of the project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further
mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be
appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program
must include, but not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay,to the
site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery,
the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and
notify the monitor of the find.
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.
2) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
