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 September 8, 2004, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the northwest comer of Day Creek
Boulevard and Banyan Street with a street frontage of approximately 289 feet along Day Creek

b. The property to the north of the subject site is developed with single-family
residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to the south is vacant with an approved
entitlement for single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to the east is
developed with single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to west is
developed with single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential; and
C. The project site has a density of 3.42 dwelling units to the acre,which is within the
permitted density range of the Low Residential District; and
d. The applicant conducted one neighborhood meeting to inform surrounding
neighborhood residents of the proposed project and to obtain their feedback; and

e. The project falls within the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development,which included
a conceptual layout for a 15 lot single-family development at this location; and
f. The project meets or exceeds all applicable technical requirements and design
.guidelines of the Rancho Etiwanda Development Agreement No. CO 00-088 and the Development
Code.
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. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and
b. The proposed use is in accordance with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; and
d. 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.
4. An Environmental Impact Report(State Clearinghouse No. 8808291)was prepared and
certified by the County of San Bernardino as a Master Environmental Impact Report for the
University/Crest Planned Development in July 1991. 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 October 26, 1999, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga certified a supplement to the Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse
No. 98121091) because of a revision to the University/Crest Planned Development. In August 2001,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga prepared an Addendum to address issues associated with the
adoption of the Rancho Etiwanda Development Agreement. The Addendum identified no substantial
changes in the project that would require a major revision to the previous Environmental Impact
Report. 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 and
concludes as follows:
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; and
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; and
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-104

Impact Report 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 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.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below
and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
