Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project.
Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, the City staff determined that, with the imposition of
mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant
effect on the environment. Based on that determination,a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared.
Thereafter,the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before
it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii)that,
based on the imposition of mitigation measures,there is no substantial evidence that the project will have
a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these
findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with the' mitigation
measures during implementation of the project. The Planning Commission therefore adopts the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project.

FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency,has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Reportwill not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive(909)477-2750 or Fax(909)477-2847.
