A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA,APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT
MAP SUBTT18032,A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION OF 23 SINGLE-FAMILY
LOTS ON 7.74 ACRES OF LAND IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
(2-4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE)OF THE ETIWANDA NORTH SPECIFIC
PLAN, LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF DAY CREEK BOULEVARD,
SOUTH OF VINTAGE DRIVE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - APN: 0225-161-65 and 71.
A. Recitals.
1. Peninsula Retail Partners filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map
No. SUBTT18032, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on December 12, 2007,
and was continued to an unspecified date.
3. The item was re-advertised and on April 9, 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.
4. 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 December 12, 2007, and April 9, 2008, including written and
oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as
follows:
a. The application applies to the property located on the west side of Day Creek
Boulevard, south of Vintage Drive with a street frontage of approximately 510 feet on Saddle Tree
Place and a lot depth of approximately 530 feet and is presently vacant land; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and is zoned Low Residential;
the property to the south is the 1-210 Freeway; the property to the east, across Day Creek
Boulevard, is developed with single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential;the property to
west is developed with single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential; and
C. All lots of the proposed subdivision meet the minimum 7,200 square foot area
minimum; and
d. A sound study was completed in order to assess the sound levels because of the
proximity of the I-210 Freeway and Day Creek Boulevard. The sound study concludes that with the
construction of perimeter walls ranging in height from 5.5 to 9.5 feet, exterior noise levels will be in
compliance with City's Development Code. The sound study additionally recommends that when
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-15
SUBTT18032 — PENINSULA RETAIL PARTNERS, LLC

house product is submitted at future date, a detailed interior noise analysis be completed.
Accordingly, the requirement to install perimeter walls and complete an interior noise analysis upon
the submittal of house product has been included as conditions of approval. Therefore, together
with the conditions applicable thereto, the subdivision will meet the noise requirements of the
Development Code and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
e. The Design Guidelines of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan state that cul-de-sacs
shall not exceed 600 feet in length. The proposed subdivision includes an 890 foot stub street
design; accordingly, the applicant has applied for an "Application for Alternate Method" because of
the subdivision having only one access point in excess of 600 feet. The Fire Construction Services
staff, acting in accordance with Administrative Section of the 2001 California Fire Code,
Section 103.1.2, has placed a condition of approval (FSC-13 Alternate Method) requiring the
installation of fire sprinklers in all homes and garages of the proposed subdivision. This Alternate
Method Approval (fire sprinklers) will provide adequate fire protection in the event of a fire. This
additional fire protection provision is considered standard mitigation measures when two points of
access are not immediately available. Therefore, the proposed subdivision with the stub street will
ultimately provide two points of access for Tentative Tract 18032 and for future residential
development on the adjacent vacant parcel without compromising public safety in the interim period;
and
f. The applicant has obtained a Fire Hydrant Flow Letterfrom the Cucamonga Valley
Water District citing that the normal static operating pressure ranges from 46 pounds per square
inch (p.s.i.) to 36 p.s.i. for this location. At the time the test was performed, the residual water
pressure was 36 p.s.i. A fire flow test was performed on June 14, 2006, with a 4-inch outlet that
yielded 1,873 gallons per minute (g.p.m.). The calculated fire flow at 20 p.s.i. would yield
3,137 g.p.m. Section 4.1 and Table A-III-A-1 of Division III, Fire Protection, Appendix III-A of the
2001 California Fire Code requires a flow rate of 2,000 g.p.m. for single-family dwelling units up to
6,200 square feet. The flow requirement can be reduced up to 50 percent when the building is
provided with an approved automatic sprinkler system(Section 4.1, Exception). Since the proposed
subdivision has been conditioned to provide fire sprinklers on every lot, the fire flow requirement of
2,000 g.p.m. can be reduced to 1,000 g.p.m; at a calculated rate of 3,137 g.p.m. at 20 p.s.i., the
available fire flow rate exceeds 300 percent of the minimum requirement. Therefore,adequate fire
flow is available in order to provide public safety; and
g. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan
FEIR,the project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources. According to Exhibit IV-3 of
the General Plan, the project site is located in an area that has been identified as potential Alluvial
Fan Sage Scrub Habitat,which has been known to support several sensitive species,including,but
not limited to, the California Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat. However, the
project site is fragmented from much larger parcels of land to the north that have been specifically
identified as prime Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat and set aside for open space and conservation
purposes. Further, the City of Rancho Cucamonga, in cooperation with the County of San
Bernardino, has set aside approximately 1,900 acres of land for conservation purposes for Alluvial
Fan Sage Scrub Habitat. An additional 1,000 acres has been proposed for conservation purposes.
Since the project site is small (7.74 acres) and surrounded on all sides by single-family dwelling
units, local roads and a freeway, the parcel does not represent prime Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub
habitat, and,therefore, is not a good or necessary area for conservation. Also,the project site is not
subject to active flooding, which is necessary for Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub to maintain itself. The
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-15

proposed subdivision will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals
because of its fragmentation and lack of connectivity to other prime parcels that have been set aside
for conservation purposes; and
h. The proposed subdivision (Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18032) is bordered to the
west by Tract 14522 and to the north, across Vintage Drive, by Tract 14493-1. Both of these
subdivisions received Tentative Map approvals in the County of San Bernardino, and after the
Rancho Etiwanda area was annexed into the City and a Development Agreement was executed,
both maps received final approval from the City of Rancho Cucamonga and were recorded in 2002.
Since the project site is surrounded by subdivisions that were not processed under the City of
Rancho Cucamonga's Development Review process that would have required master planning,the
City has been processing subsequent projects in the Day Creek Neighborhood under the goals and
objectives of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan,the Development Code, and the City's General Plan
balancing the objectives of these documents, while being guided by existing infrastructure
(circulation, drainage facilities). The proposed subdivision is consistent with the surrounding area
with regard to density, circulation, and lot plotting; and
i. The proposed subdivision falls within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, and the
Design Guidelines state that two points of access shall be provided for all residential projects. The
Etiwanda North Specific Plan, under Development Regulations, also discusses the importance of
master planning in order to discourage piecemeal development. The proposed subdivision is
adjacent to a vacant 3.6-acre parcel that is under different ownership,and the proposed subdivision
includes a master plan with a stub street design and a conceptual 12-lot layout for the 3.6-acre
parcel. With the master plan and development of the adjacent 3.6 acre at a future date, both the
proposed subdivision and the adjacent parcel will ultimately have two points of access that will
provide a logical circulation pattern that would be sought after if the project site and the adjacent
parcel were to be subdivided at one time.Therefore, with due consideration given to the benefits of
master planning and the requirement of two points of access, the proposed subdivision, with the
stub street design and master plan, will ultimately fulfill the two points of access requirement in a
manner that balances several Design Guidelines and incorporates good planning practices without
being detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity; and
j. The Design Guidelines of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan state that two points of
access shall be provided for all residential developments. Although the proposed subdivision will
not meet this design guideline at the onset, the proposed subdivision with its master-planned stub
street connection provides the best approach to community design and master planning for the
following reasons: 1) Ultimately,when the parcel to the north undergoes development in the future,
the proposed subdivision includes a stub street that will provide two points of access for enhanced
fire safety and optimum circulation for a portion of the existing subdivision to the west and for any
future subdivision on the adjacent partial to the north;2)The proposed layout incorporates a master
plan concept that logically incorporates the adjacent vacant parcel,thereby, meeting the goals and
objectives of the Development Code and the Etiwanda North Specific Plan; 3) The proposed
subdivision makes good land planning sense and will minimize the amount of four-way local to local
intersections on an adjacent local street; 4)the proposed lot layout of the subdivision and the master
plan for the vacant parcel to the north reflects a circulation pattern that would be sought after if the
entire 11.3 acre area were being subdivided;5)the density of the proposed subdivision is 2.97 units
to the acre; the density of the 12-lot master plan for the adjacent parcel is 3.31 units to the acre,
thereby, providing a development density ratio at the upper end of the allowable range for the vacant
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-15

Page 4
parcel; and 6) the condition to provide fire sprinklers for all homes on every lot as an Alternate
Method will provide adequate fire suppression in the event of a fire. Therefore, the proposed
subdivision and the accompanying master plan effectively harmonize and balance the multiple
Design Guidelines of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan.
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 Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the General Plan, Development
Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The Tentative Tract Map is not likely to cause serious public health problems;and
f. The design of the Tentative Tract Map will not conflict with any easement acquired
by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision.
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, 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 furtherfinds
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.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-15

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.

during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor 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 aboutthe archaeological heritage of
the area.
• 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.

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 TRACT MAP SUBTT18032 AND VARIANCE DRC2007-00097
Public Review Period Closes: April 9, 2008
Project Name: Project Applicant: Peninsula Retail Partners, LLC
Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the west side of Day Creek Boulevard,
south of Vintage Drive - APN: 0225-161-65 and 71.
Project Description: A residential subdivision of 23 single-family lots on 7.74 acres of land in the
Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan; and a
request to allow up to 10.5-foot perimeter wall heights for sound attenuation purposes for Lots 1-6
and to allow up to 7.5-foot combination retaining/freestanding side yard wall heights for grade
differential purposes for Lots 1-6 of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18032,where a maximum 6-foot wall
height is permitted.
This project was originally scheduled for Planning Commission review on December 12, 2007.
Planning staff received written correspondence from SCAQMD requiring URBEMIS 2007 air quality
study. An URBEMIS 2007 study has been prepared.
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
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 ' ' ated Negative Declaration during the review
period.
