A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA,APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT
MAP 18744,A REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE 8.85 GROSS ACRES OF LAND
INTO 30 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
(2 TO 4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) OF THE ETIWANDA NORTH
SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SR-210
FREEWAY WEST BOUND OFF RAMPAT DAY CREEK BOULEVARDAND
THE WEST SIDE OF STABLE FALLS AVENUE,AND MAKING FINDINGS
IN SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0225-161-19, 32, 33, AND 34.
A. Recitals.
1. FB Holdings, LLC filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT18744, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,the subject
Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 24th day of February 2010, and continued to March 10, 2010, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
application and concluded said hearing on that date.
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:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing February 24, 2010, and continued to March 10, 2010, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically
finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located north of the SR-210 Freeway
westbound off ramp at Day Creek Boulevard and the west side of Stable Falls Avenue, with an
approximate street frontage of 400 feet and lot depth of 660 feet and is presently vacant. The site
generally slopes from north to south with alluvial fan sage brush as the predominant vegetation type;
and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is developed with single-family
residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to the south is the SR-210 Freeway; the
property to the east is developed with single-family residences and is zoned Very Low Residential;
the property to west is partially developed with a single-family residence and is zoned
Low Residential; and
C. The project design meets all required Development Standards of the
Etiwanda North Specific Plan; and
d. The site has been evaluated for the occurrence potential of sensitive habitat and
protected species. The applicant's environmental consultant recommends that the loss of alluvial
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10-10
SUBTT18744 — FB HOLDINGS, LLC
March 10, 2010
Page 2
fan scrub habitat on the site be mitigated at a rate of 50 percent of the alluvial fan sage scrub habitat
that will be lost when the site is graded for development. This translates into 2.9 acres of mitigation
land (5.8 acres of alluvial fan sage scrub on the site X .5). The level of required mitigation was
reduced to less than 1:1 because of the isolation of the project site from other areas containing high
value habitat in the City; and
e. The applicant has proposed to install fire sprinklers in the homes because the
street length exceeds 600 feet, which will satisfy the requirements of the Fire Code since there will
be no secondary access until the adjoining vacant property to the west is developed.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract map is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The tentative tract map is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and
f. The design of the tentative tract map will not conflict with any easement acquired by
the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration,together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment 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 adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
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, 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,with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be 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;
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10-10
SUBTT18744— FB HOLDINGS, LLC
March 10, 2010
Page 3
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect 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.
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.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission'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.

PROGRAM
Project File No.: SUBTT18744 and DRC2009-00029
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code). .
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance.The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP.The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached

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
