HERMOSA AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - APN: 1077-601-02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 11, 13, AND 14.
A. Recitals.
1. Rancho Workforce Housing filed an application for General Plan Amendment
DRC2006-00635 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject General Plan Amendment is referred to as "the application."
2. On January 23 and continued to February 13, 2008,the Planning Commission of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded
said hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on January 23 and February 13, 2008, including written and oral
staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to approximately 17 acres of land, basically a rectangular
configuration, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard between Center Avenue and
Hermosa Avenue, and is presently improved with existing commercial (The Whole Enchilada,
Espinoza Tire, Route 66 Memories, Twins Club, Shop & Go) and residential (single-family and
apartment) land uses, agricultural uses, and vacant land. Said property is currently designated as
General Commercial; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated Low Residential and is
developed with existing single-family residences; the property to the west is designated General
Commercial and Low Residential and is developed with existing commercial and residential uses;
the property to the east is designated General Commercial and Industrial Park and is developed with
an automotive service station and industrial uses; and the property to the south is designated

d. This Amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element;
and
e. This Amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent
properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding
properties.
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 terms of access, size, and compatibility with existing land use in the surrounding area, and the
proposed project master plan complies with current development code standards regulating building
setback, building height, parking and landscaping; and
b. That the proposed Amendment would not have significant impacts on the
environment nor the surrounding properties, the proposed project was designed to be sensitive to
existing adjacent land uses, and the project Environmental Impact Report was prepared to address
and mitigate potential environmental impacts; and
C. That the proposed Amendment is in conformance with the General Plan.
4. The Planning Commission makes the following findings under the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act:
a. Among the applications for the Rancho Workforce Housing Project, the Planning
Commission is not the decision-making body for, and is only the advisory body to, the City Council
for the General Plan Amendment DRC2006-00635 and the Development District Amendment
DRC2006-00634. For purposes of making its recommendations on these applications,the Planning
Commission has received and reviewed the Final Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") for the
Rancho Workforce Housing Project along with the oral and written testimony received thereon
during the hearing prior to any action on the Project. Based on that review, the Planning
Commission hereby recommends that the City Council certify that the FEIR was completed pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code§21000, et seq. ("CEQA"), and
the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, 14 California Code of Regulations §15000, et
seq. (the "Guidelines") and that it adequately addresses the impacts and provides for appropriate
mitigation measures for General Plan Amendment DRC2006-0635, the Development District
Amendment DRC2006-00634, and Development Review DRC2006-00633, and all other approvals
necessary to carry out the Rancho Workforce Housing Project. The Planning Commission further
recommends that the City Council find that that the modifications to the FEIR that have been made
since circulation of the DEIR, do not constitute the addition of new significant information to the
FEIR within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5.
b. The Planning Commission finds that based on the FEIR, additional public
comments, and the written and oral staff report, and Exhibit A to this Resolution,that the Project will
not cause significant environmental impacts except with respect to interior noise level impacts,
short-term construction noise impacts, long-term operational noise impacts, cumulative noise
impacts, and traffic impacts with regard to opening year 2009 with commercial conditions, residential
conditions, and entire project (commercial and residential) conditions. With respect to all of these
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-04
DRC2006-00635— RANCHO WORKFORCE HOUSING
February 13, 2008
Page 3
potentially significant impacted areas and resources, the FEIR identifies feasible mitigation
measures for each impact that reduce the level of impact to less than significant.
C. In response to each significant impact identified in the FEIR, and listed in Section
4.b. of this Resolution, changes or alterations are hereby required in, or incorporated into the
Project, which avoid the impacts identified. The specific changes and alterations required are
contained in Appendix F of the FEIR, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The
mitigation measures set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring Program, contained in Appendix F of the
FEIR, avoid or substantially lessen the potential significant impacts of the Project as explained in
Exhibit A to this Resolution. The Planning Commission finds that the mitigation measures and
Mitigation Monitoring Program will avoid or mitigate all significant environmental effects of the
Project.
d. The Planning Commission finds that the FEIR describes a reasonable range of
alternatives to the Project that might fulfill the basic objectives of the Project. These alternatives
include the required no project alternative,the reduced intensity alternative,the all residential portion
of the project alternative, and the off-site location alternative. For the reasons explained in Exhibit A.
the alternatives identified in the FEIR are not feasible because they would not achieve the basic
objectives of the Project or would do so only to a much lesser degree, and therefore leave
unaddressed significant social and economic goals the Project was designed to achieve, and are
thus infeasible due to social and economic considerations, and/or they are infeasible because they
would not eliminate the significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed Project.
Accordingly, and for the reasons set forth herein, the Planning Commission finds that each of the
alternatives is determined to be infeasible.
e. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigation Monitoring Program has
been completed in compliance with CEQA. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the
City Council adopt each of the mitigation measures set forth in the FEIR and incorporate those
measures into the Project. The Planning Commission also recommends that the City Council adopt
the"Mitigation Monitoring Program"contained in Appendix F of the FEIR and incorporated herein by
reference. The Mitigation Monitoring Program will be used to monitor compliance with the mitigation
measures and conditions that have been adopted or made a condition of Project approval.
f. The custodian of records for the FEIR, the 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.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraph 4 above, this
Commission hereby recommends approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2006-00635, in
accordance with the attached Draft City Council Resolution including Exhibits A and B and in
accordance with the condition listed below:

agents, officers, or employees, for any Court costs and attorney's
fees which the City, its agents, officers, or employees may be
required by a court to pay as a result of such action. The City may,
at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense
of any such action but such participation shall not relieve applicant
of his obligations under this condition.

Range of square footage is the product of probable upper and threshold of intensity range multiplied by the number of acres,and rounded to the whole number.
'Target intensity is the probable level of development.
3 Non-residential FAR Range:lower number is the probable FAR on average,but in some cases it may be lower. Higher number is the maximum FAR for any specific project.
4 Mixed Use allows both residential and non-residential uses. Table III-1a reflects the residential potential;Table III-1b indicates non-residential potential.
5 Dwelling units,not square footage. Open space is the only non-residential category that permits residential units. Numbers of units are maximum yield based on a target of 62.5%of the range. The Open
Space designation within the City area is applied only to existing golf courses. Residential potential is therefore considered zero.

use adjacent arterial highways to move to other portions of
the mixed-use development.
8. Exhibit considerable flexibility in design in achieving
maximum site potential and sensitivity to adjacent uses.
9. Apply CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design) principles to provide both the reality and
perception of public safety.
10. Provide a unique and engaging experience for both
residents and visitors, similar to those often found in older
cities:
Each application of the Mixed-Use designation on the Land
Use Plan has a specific intent. Therefore, the guidance for
each one is tailored to that area. A land use table is provided
for each mixed-use designation to establish the uses to be
permitted and the general area to be devoted to each use.
Flexibility is provided in the ranges to permit combinations of
uses at a variety of overall intensities. Unless otherwise
specified, the most intensive combination is the most
desirable. The ten areas designated for Mixed-Use
development under these provisions of the General Plan are:
1. The Regional Center area, bounded by Foothill Boulevard,
Base Line Road, 1-15 and the Day Creek Flood Control
Channel;
2 A "Town Center' node at the southwest corner of Haven
Avenue and Foothill Boulevard;
3. The north side of Foothill Boulevard between Archibald
and Hellman;
4. The western entrance to the City along Foothill Boulevard
in the area generally know as Bear Gulch;
5. The Terra Vista Mixed Use Area, located along Milliken
Avenue and Foothill Boulevard; and
6. The Industrial Area Specific Plan, Subarea 18, generally
located west of Milliken Avenue, south of the railroad
tracks, north of 4th Street, and east of Utica Avenue
7. The Foothill Boulevard — Cucamonga Channel Area, located at the base of"Red
Hill," located near the Historic Route 66 Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue.
8. This Historic Alta Loma —Amethyst Site, on the east side of Amethyst Street
between the neighborhood elementary school and the original commercial center.
9. The Haven and Church site, located on the south side of Church Avenue, between
Center and Haven Avenues. Once the location of a San Bernardino County Flood
Control District retention basin, the site was declared surplus because of drainage
improvements within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and became available for
private development.
10. The Foothill Boulevard site, located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard,
between Hermosa Avenue and Center Avenue, south of the residences on
Stafford Street.
EXHIBIT B-2
2.5.3.6 Mixed Use (Probable FAR of 0.40 and
Maximum FAR of 1.0)
The purpose of the Mixed-Use designation in the General Plan
is to stimulate and guide development in special opportunity
areas where land use change is desired. Mixed Use
development may occur in two ways: 1) as a combination of
uses in a single development project on a single parcel of
land; or 2) as a combination of uses on multiple parcels within
a specified district of the City. In either case, the intent is to
achieve a complete integration of the uses and their support
functions into a common concept.
The effect of mixed-use development in the ten opportunity
areas in which it is applied is to create special urban places
within the general suburban pattern of single uses somewhat
isolated from each other. While such a mixture would not be
feasible over extensive portions of the City, it can be desirable
within limited, focused areas.
The expectations commonly required of mixed use
developments through site planning, design, and use
configuration is that they:
1. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian movement into
and within the site.
2. Provide uses that are interconnected rather than being
rigidly separated.
3. Include uses that are highly urban in character, with
generally higher intensities of use than in surrounding
areas.
4. Contain usable public open space that is highly accessible
and convenient to residents and visitors.
5. Express a common design theme that may be carried out
by architectural styles, landscaping and lighting treatment,
street improvements and street furniture, or other means of
unifying the development. This does not precluded an
eclectic mix of architectural styles; only that the
development be tied together in its physical form by some
means.
6. Involve a variety of scales and spaces to provide interest
and diversity in the environment being created.
7. Include an integrated circulation system of arterial access,
internal circulation, parking facilities, pedestrian pathways,
bicycle routes, transit stops (where applicable), and related
signage. It is intended that movement within the entire
opportunity area be feasible on site without being forced to

2.5.5.7 Foothill Boulevard-Cucamonga Channel
Site
This 7.24-acre site is significant within Subarea 1 of the
Foothill Boulevard Districts. At the southern base of"Red Hill,"
the site is strategically located near the northwest corner
Historic Route 66 Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue.
Like other newly designated Mixed Use districts, this site
presents an opportunity to expand commercial office activity,
while providing an opportunity for new multi-family
development in the City. The following table specifies the
uses and range of development that is anticipated to bring
positive aspects to revitalize the area.

2.5.5.9 Haven, and Church Site
This 14.77-acre site is located on the south side of Church
Avenue, between Center and Haven Avenues. Once the location
of a San Bernardino County Flood Control District retention basin,
the site was declared surplus because of drainage improvements
within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and became available for
private development. The site represents a transition area
