3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of
the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:

b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant land; the property to the south
consists of single-family residential;the property to the east is vacant land; and the property to the west is
under construction with single-family residential; 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, togetherwith all 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 certified an Environmental Impact Report(EIR)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 SUBTT16227. 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 severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial
changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that
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 does not raise or
create new environmental impacts not already considered in the Environmental Impact Reportforthe tract
map.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuantto CEQA
in connection with the City's consideration of the development review application.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this
Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

FS-3 as amended by RCFPD Ordinance FD46, RCFPD Standard 47-1, and the 2007 CBC
Chapter 7A requirements apply to the development of the site, the construction of the
buildings and the landscaping.. These development codes provide standards regulating:
a. Fire resistive roof assemblies
b. Vegetation Management
c. Fire District access roadways.
d. Ignition resistant construction and protection of openings.
e. Fire sprinkler systems
f. Fire protection water supply & Fire flow criteria
The approved fire protection plans (FPP) and documentation must be recorded with San
Bernardino County prior to release of building permits. Proof of the recording must be provided
to FCS. NOTE: The FPP must be submitted to Fire Construction Services for review and
approval prior to the submittal of architectural drawings to the building department for the

rocks.
c. Conducting a fire watch for a minimum of one-hour following the cessation of
operations each day.
d. For welding, cutting or grinding work, clear away all combustible material from the area
around such operation for a minimum distance of 10-feet. A "hot-work" permit must be
obtained from Fire Construction Services prior to cutting, welding or grinding work.
e. Maintain one serviceable round point shovel with an overall length of not less than
forty-six (46) inches and one five (5) gallon backpack water pump-type fire extinguisher
