d. The proposed single-family residence is located within the Hillside Overlay District
which requires approval of a Hillside Design Review. The Planning Director may approve a Hillside
Design Review when grading is limited to cut/fill totals below 5 vertical feet and 1,500 cubic yards.
Above this limitation, approval is required by the Planning Commission. In this case the project
proposes up to 12 feet of cut; and
e. The house is architecturally compatible with the neighborhood and conforms to the
Design Guidelines outlined in the Development Code including carrying materials and architectural
features to all elevations. Lot coverage will be approximately 10.5 percent of the developable
portion of the lot,which is below the maximum 25 percent permitted in the Very Low(VL) Residential
District. The applicant will widen Almond Street and install the required Community Trail
improvements; and
f. The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee, Grading Committee,
and Technical Review Committee on March 1, 2011. They recommended approval by the Planning
Commission as presented; and
g. The Trails Advisory Committee(TAC) reviewed the project on March 9,2011. The
TAC recommended approval of the project with the following conditions: 1)that the Community Trail
and public right-of-way have a maximum cross-slope grade of 4 percent or less; and 2) that the
applicant will work with the Engineering Department to rework the trail entrance to the west of the
existing driveway to the applicant's property.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing, and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, the Planning Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
b. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or the
improvements in the vicinity; and
C. The application,which contemplates operation of the proposed use, complies with
each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code.
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, 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, 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, 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
