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,

written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically
finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard

b. The property to the north of the subject site, on the north side of Foothill Boulevard,
is undeveloped and is zoned for commercial uses, the property to the south consists of the 1-15
freeway, the property to the east is undeveloped and is planned for commercial uses, and the
property to the west is an electrical and flood control utility corridor and is being used for plant
nursery storage; and
C. The application proposes the construction of a retail shopping center totaling
315,000 square feet, for uses which are permitted within the Regional Related Office/Commercial
district of the Victoria Community; and,
d. The proposed elevation design of the in-line stores and pad buildings,with roofed
towers, curvilinear parapets, and arched entries, is compatible with the "Route 66"/Winery
architectural styles being promoted along Foothill Boulevard and the Victoria Arbors Master Plan;
and,
e. The parking accommodation that exceeds the City s minimum standards and the
inclusion of planters and trees wells is in compliance with the City's landscaping policies.
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 proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located as an expansion of
the commercial activities, planned and existing along Foothill and Day Creek Boulevards.
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.
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Victoria
Community Plan and the Development Code.
4. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR)was certified October 17, 2001, as the Final EIR
for the 2001 City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act Section 15166 provides that when a Program EIR has been certified,
subsequent activities in the program must be examined in light of the program EIR to determine
whether an additional environmental document must be prepared. If the agency finds that no new
effects could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the agency can approve the
activity as being within the scope of the program EIR. Because the applicant has proposed
modifications to the Master Plan Circulation system, an Addendum to the 2001 General Plan Final
EIR was prepared, and all feasible mitigation measures developed in the Program EIR, have been
incorporated into the project design.
An addendum to the 2001 General Plan Final EIR is appropriate documentation because
some changes or additions are necessary to describe the modification to the Master Plan Circulation
system, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 1 51 62 calling for the
preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The Planning Commission has reviewed and
considered the attached addendum based on the following findings:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-136
DRC2002-00839— FOOTHILL CROSSING, LLC
September 24, 2003
Page 3
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous EIR because of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
severity of previously identified environmental 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 EIR 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 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 that 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 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 recommends approval to the City Council of the application subject to each
and every condition set forth below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.

- MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: Tentative Parcel Map 16033 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2002-00839
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in.the Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the above-listed
project. This program has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted
mitigation measures are implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance.The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management- The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action,what action will be taken and when,and
