3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting 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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; and
d. The proposed 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.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all the
written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors certified an Environmental
Impact Report in June 1991, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was certified by the
County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors in October 1999, and an Initial Study Addendum
was certified by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in connection with the approval of Tentative Tract
Map 16227. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or
Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same
project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more sever
impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under
which the project was previously reviewed the indicates new or more severe environmental impacts;
or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than
previously considered; or(iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or
different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the development review
application, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project
have not occurred, which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the
previously certified EIR. The proposed development does not raise or create new environmental
impacts not already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the tract map. Staff further
finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previously
certified EIR, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different
mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-
significant. The proposed development review application does not raise or create new
environmental impacts not already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the tract map.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 08-26

RE: DRC2008-00064–55 Home Design Submittal - Tract 16227-1
Dear John:
As discussed in our meeting on March 27, 2008, Meritage Homes is proposing that in
lieu of having to provide 360 degree fire-resistive building materials on all of the
proposed 55 lots to meet the new fire regulations the City will be adopting, our homes
would be designed with the following:
1. Automatic residential fire sprinkler system (including attic & garage
areas)
2. Windows that comply with Chapter 7A of the 2007 C.B.C.
3. Low-profile attic vents that integrate 118 " wire mesh screen
4. Eave construction that incorporates solid blocking that separates the eave
from the roof construction
Woodley Architectural Group has provided the attached letter and cut sheets,
which outline in more detail what we are proposing.
After your review of our proposal, please verify in writing that the City of Rancho
Cucamonga would accept these mitigation measures so that we may incorporate these
details on the construction drawings.
Thank you. wog— o0 90'8

eave vents are not to be used with the new product as not to create areas for
burning embers to enter the attic space. The attic vents shall be installed in a
"high and low" pattern and orientated away from any delineated "fire corridors"

We believe that with the addition of the construction techniques listed above
the new homes shall be protected ago' st possible fire conditions.
