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.: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18819, Design Review DRC2011-00629, Variance
DRC2011-00383, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2011-00638.
Public Review Period Closes: December 14, 2011
Project Name: Project Applicant: Water Mill Homes
Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue
and Victoria Street. APN: 1089-081-16, 17, 20, and 21.
Project Description: The proposed subdivision of 10.6 acres into 17 lots including the design
review of 16 homes; a request to reduce the minimum average lot size and the minimum lot dept
requirement for 1 lot associated with the project and a request to remove 63 heritage trees on the
project site found within the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
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 Reportwill 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.
