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 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. 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, Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:OOp.m.

the subject tract. Tentative Parcel Map 18196 can satisfy its condition to
install storm drains through the payment of fees. However, those fees do not
cover the interim basin. The developer of Tract 15912 is eligible to request
reimbursement for the proportionate cost of the land and ultimate basin
related facilities (outlet, etc.). They must request said reimbursement within
6 months of the public storm drain facilities being accepted by the City.
Therefore, this development will need to deposit $5,000 per gross acre in
Tentative Parcel Map 18196 with the City for the purpose of reimbursing the
developer of Tract 15912. If reimbursement is not requested within 6 months
of public improvement acceptance, the deposit will be returned to developer
of Tentative Parcel Map 18196.
2) Reimburse adjacent developers for over sizing of interim drainage facilities.
3) The developer shall make a good faith effort to negotiate with the owner of
APN: 0227-12136 an exchange of corner cutoffs dedications on
East Avenue for sidewalk and curb returns on both corners.
4) The developer shall make a good faith effort to negotiate with owner of
APN: 0227-121 36 regarding privately maintained landscaping and irrigation
along their side yard on Street "A." Improvements are to be installed to the
street curb. Plans for these areas will be reviewed and approved by the
Planning Department, with exception to street trees. If the owner is not
willing to negotiate said improvements, install rockscape on the parkway, per
City Standards.
5) A Lot Line Adjustment for the excess 3 feet on Street "A" shall be approved
and recorded prior to final map recordation.

If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal PD B Review of report A/D 4
fossils) are encountered before or during grading,
the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate
measures to protect or preserve them for study.
The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific recommendations
regarding further mitigation measures (i.e.,
paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate.
Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the
program must include, but not be limited to, the
following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and PD B Review of report A/D 4
equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with
minimal construction delay,to the site full-time during
the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared BO B/C Review of report AID 4
or graded,divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere
until the monitor has completed salvage. If
construction personnel make the discovery, the
grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
