A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2005-00106, A REQUEST TO CHANGE
THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO PARK
FOR 3.36 ACRES OF LAND, LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF MADRONE
AVENUE, BETWEEN SANDALWOOD COURT AND RICHWOOD DRIVE, AND
TO CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM GENERAL INDUSTRIAL
(SUBAREA 1) TO MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL (8-14 DWELLING UNITS PER
ACRE) FOR 5.54 ACRES OF LAND, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 9TH
STREET, APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET EAST OF MADRONE AVENUE;/ AND
MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN: 0207-262-18 (PORTION
OF) AND 27.
A. Recitals.
1. Rancho Cucamonga Housing Partners, LP requested a change to the General Plan
land use designations, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,
the subject amendment is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 25th day of May 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application.
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 fads 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 May 25, 2005, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property within the City; and
b. The proposed amendment will not have a significant impact on the
environment; and
C. The proposed amendment is consistent with the land use concept and density
provisions of the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The proposed land use changes will more
effectively implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan, in that they will encourage
orderly development of the site that is generally consistent and compatible with development
surrounding the site. The requested land use changes and associated parcel map enable the
applicant to make more efficient use of land by replacing partially undeveloped land and
non-conforming industrial uses with new residential development and open space for a public
park. The land use changes will result in fewer land use conflicts between commercial/industrial
uses and surrounding residential development. The proposal will eliminate an existing unsightly

and non-conforming industrial use from the north side of 9th Street where the area is largely
developed with residential uses. Moreover, 9th Street serves as a logical dividing line between
residential uses on the north and future 'light industrial' uses anticipated for the south side of
the street. The proposed Medium Residential (8-14 DUs/Acre) land use designation for the
largest parcel will be consistent with the density levels of residential development on nearby
parcels on the north side of 9th Street. Apartments exist to the north, and townhome and
single-family development exist on the west side of Madrone Avenue. Thus, the proposal will
result in a land use pattern that is consistent with the existing land use designations and
development pattern of the area. The reservation of land area for the future development and
use as a public park will address the need for more park space in this area of the community as
identified in the General Plan. When the park is completed, it will further improve and
strengthen the existing residential neighborhood on the north side of 9th Street.
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 land use amendment does not conflict with the Land Use
Policies of the General Plan and will provide for the logical development of the surrounding
area; and
b. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
C. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan.
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 recommends that the City
Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, based upon the findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with
the Califomia 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. The Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies no significant environmental
effect will result if this amendment is approved.
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 or the 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 05-39

presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby recommends approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2005-00106,
as shown in the attached Exhibit A.

during construction activities entering the storm drain system to the
maximum extent practical.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading
Plan, and implemented for the proposed project that identifies
specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the
time of ground disturbing activities are initiated through completion
of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall include the following
measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and
construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced
in southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance
program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does
occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be
corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a

This Mitigation Monitoring Program(MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration 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 betaken and when,and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the

determined by the project planner or responsible City department,to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring afterwritten
notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached
hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division.The Division shall require the
applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee)with the City. These funds
shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and report
on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
