A. Recitals. 1. Centex Homes filed an application for the issuance of Conditional Use Permit DRC2002-00280, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On January 22, continued to February 26, and continued again to December 10, 2003, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing 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 bythe 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 public hearing on January 22, February 26, and December 10,2003,including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to 13.2 acres of vacant property located on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, approximately 685 feet south of Base Line Road; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is improved with single-family homes (Tracts SUBTT15947 and SUBTT15948), the property to the south consists of vacant property proposed for development(Tract SUBTT16445)and"The Gardens"banquet facility, the property to the east is vacant and under construction with single-family homes (Tract SUBTT16454), and the property to the west is vacant and proposed for development(Victoria Arbors Planned Community- Tract SUBTT15974); and C. The project consists of the subdivision of 47 single-family lots in the Etiwanda Specific Plan area; and d. The lot sizes range from 7,207 to 27,642 square feet, with an average lot size of 10,001 square feet; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-181 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2002-00280—CENTEX HOMES December 10, 2003 Page 2 e. The two lots (Lots 1 and 2) on the east end of the site fall under the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay, which requires a Conditional Use Permit to ensure that development along Etiwanda Avenue meets all Specific Plan and Overlay development standards, and is consistent with the historical character and quality of the street; and f. The two lots fronting Etiwanda Avenue are 21,621(Lot 1)and 27,642(Lot 2)square feet, which is considerably larger than the typical Low-Medium lots in the Etiwanda Specific Plan area; and g. Lots 1 and 2 will accommodate the design of front-on homes along Etiwanda Avenue with access from the side or rear; and h. The subdivision design, lot size, and dimensions are compatible with the Low-Medium District and Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and i. A Tree Removal Permit (DRC2002-00281) has been submitted because development of the site will require the removal, relocation, and replacement of trees on-site; and j. The site will gain access from Etiwanda Avenue and the future Victoria Park Lane through access agreements from William Lyon Company and "Victoria Arbors." 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. 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 Development Code. 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 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-181 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2002-00280—CENTEX HOMES December 10, 2003 Page 3 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 Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(o-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 5.
