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
