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. That the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in

its frontage on a public street and the evidence of similar uses existing in the immediate area; and
b. That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment,
nor the surrounding properties as evidenced by the existing commercial development and activities in
the immediate area; and
C. That the proposed amendment is in conformance with the existing General Plan
designation General Commercial.
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 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, 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, 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 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

SUBTT17818, and Development Review DRC2005-01084.
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 Planning Director, 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 be taken 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 project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following

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 after
written 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 Department. The Department 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.
9. In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the
monitoring results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to
know whether the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The
monitoring/reporting plan shall conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the
Community Development Director or Planning Director prior to the issuance of building
permits.

SUBTPM17818, and Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-01084
Public Review Period Closes: January 24, 2007
Project Name: Project Applicant: Charles Joseph Associates
10681 Foothill Boulevard, Suite 395
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the southeast comer of Foothill Boulevard
and Rochester Avenue—APN: 0229-021-31 and 32.
Project Description: A request to change the Development District from Industrial Park(Subarea 7)
to General Commercial (to reflect the current General Plan Designation of General Commercial)and
a request to subdivide 12.66 net acres of land into 6 parcels for an office and commercial center
consisting of one bank with drive-thru at 4,500 square feet(Building A), one drive-thru restaurant at
2,430 square feet (Building B), two restaurant Buildings totaling 13,000 square feet (Buildings C
and E), one retail multi-tenant/restaurant building at 5,100 square feet (Building D), and a two-story
39,400 square foot medical office (Building F).
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 Report will 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.
