d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety,welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with 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 adopted a Negative Declaration on
January 6, 2010, in connection with the County's approval of Rancho Cucamonga Sheriffs
Department Substation and Property Transfer (Exhibit A). 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 DRC2008-00481 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 previous Negative
Declaration. The project is a joint project between the County and the City to provide public safety
services to the northern portion of the City and the unincorporated areas along the foothills and the
project site and architectural design are consistent with the County's prior analysis. Staff further
finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
Negative Declaration, 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 project site and architectural design are consistent with the County's prior
analysis. There have not been any significant changes in the surrounding area subsequent to the
County's environmental action.
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 in
connection with the City's consideration of the Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19087 and
Development Design Review DRC2008-00481.
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.
