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 impacts of the
project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
implementation of mitigation measures,there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have any significant impacts 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; and
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 implementation of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have any significant impacts 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; and
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; and

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).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy to the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.
