Cultural Resources
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or 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 Cityto 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 about the 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.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils)are encountered
before or during grading,the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation
measures(i.e., paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be
limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the
rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site
full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, 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).

(SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities
entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical.
2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in grading plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to
control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities
are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall
include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of
grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods
experienced in southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance
program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either
on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a
remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.

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.: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2008-00185
Public Review Period Closes: November 12, 2008
Project Name: Project Applicant: Charles Joseph Associates
Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the northwest corner of 6th Street and
Rochester Avenue -APN: 0229-262-01 and 31.
Project Description: A proposal to construct an industrial building of about 118,000 square feet on
two vacant parcels of about 252,000 square feet (5.8 acres) in the General Industrial (GI) District,
Subarea 13.
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 Report will 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 Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
