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. 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, 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 thatthe 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.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 06-111

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 project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. Pursuant to the requirements of California Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 753.5,the Planning Commission finds, based
on the Initial Study, the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and considering the record as a whole, that
there is no evidence before the City that the proposed project will have the potential for an adverse
effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. The project site is
surrounded by industrial and commercial development, and the site has not been identified as
potential location for habitat that is known to support sensitive biological species. Further, the site
contains no blue line streams. Based on substantial evidence, the Planning Commission hereby
makes a declaration rebutting the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in California
Department of Fish and Game Regulation 753.5 (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations
Code, Section 753.5.)
e. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.
