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 meeting on August 27, 2003 including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds and concludes as follows:
a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and
b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code; and
d. That the proposed design, 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. 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
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
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the
proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources orthe habitat upon
which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated
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.

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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-120

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.
• Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological
heritage.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of
approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant,
important, and unique prehistoric resources, following appropriate
CEQA guidelines.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting
the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report,
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
