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 recommends the City Council
adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's
local CEQA Guidelines, the 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 there was 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 there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission therefore is forwarding the
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration to the City Council for their final consideration as the
adoption will reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on their
initial findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends adoption of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration by the City Council.
C. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration
and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council'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.
d. 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 City Council
therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby recommends approval of Victoria Arbors Master Plan Amendment
DRC2007-00047 by adoption of the attached City Council Ordinance, as shown in the attached
