e. The proposed development for the site complies with City Development Code requirements
including setbacks, building height, and the provision of on-site parking; and
f. The project site is surrounded by urbanized land uses not located within any habitat
conservation or natural community plan area. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of
the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not located within an area of sensitive biological resources;
therefore, further development of the site will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or
animals; and
g. On October 23, 2007, the applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting to solicit public
comments. Six members from the public attended.
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. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development
Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed church use and plan for
development of the site is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, which encourages
land uses be distributed to meet local needs and is properly integrated into surrounding context.The site for
the church was identified as a specific location for a church use in the Victoria Community Plan and is
adequate in size to accommodate the use. Moreover, the proposed project is consistent with the design of
the City and complies with the applicable development criteria contained in the Development Code.
b. The proposed church use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity. The area surrounding the church site is developed with urban uses,and the proposed improvements
will not divide an established community or pose adverse impacts to the adjacent
neighborhoods/improvements. Moreover, the project site is not located within any habitat conservation or
natural community plan area;therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of
plants or animals.
C. The proposed church use complies with applicable provisions of the Development Code.
The proposed improvements will comply with City requirements such as setbacks, building height, and
provision of on-site parking. At 5.09 acres, the shape and size of the site is sufficient to more than adequately
accommodate the proposed improvements, including efficient on-site circulation without major difficulties or
risk of over building of the site. Moreover, the site has direct access to fully developed public streets of the
appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the use.
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, 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 the 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.

construction activities,to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them
for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or
significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its
archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological
sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or
focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological heritage.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique
prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEQA guidelines.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the
inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
project area. Submit one copy of the completed report, with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal 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 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 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.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the
summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San
Bernardino County Museum).

on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm
drain system to the maximum extent practical.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to control
on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are
initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall include
the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and
construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in southern
California, and b)An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to
ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of
this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within
a specified time frame.

Project Description: A request to construct a 16,500 square foot meeting house and associated
parking lot on a 5.09-acre site in the Community Facilities District of the Victoria Community Plan.
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 Reportwill 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
