MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM18046 and Development Review DRC2006-00438
Public Review Period Closes: March 28, 2007
Project Name: Project Applicant: Cynthia Bell(for Michael Chai)
Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard
and Elm Avenue - APN: 0208-961-05, 06, and 07.
Project Description: A request to subdivide a property comprised of 3 parcels into 7 parcels;and a
review of a proposed master-planned retail and office complex with a combined floor area of about
88,000 square feet comprised of two 2-story office buildings of 25,200 square feet (each), three
single-story retail buildings of 21,749 square feet (combined), two single-story restaurant pad
buildings of 11,000 square feet(combined), and a bank of 5,000 square feet on 7 parcels(combined
area = 8.4 acres) in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7).
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.
NOTICE
The public is invited to comment on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
