Permit, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 25th day of April 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a meeting to consider the application and concluded said meeting on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.

A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing April 25, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The 11.7 acre site is located at the northeast corner of Arrow Route and
Baker Avenue in the Medium (M) Residential Development District; and
b. North of the site are two mobile home parks within the Low-Medium (LM) Residential
Development District; to the south is a mix of single-family and multi-family residences within the
Medium (M) Residential Development District; to the east are multi-family residences within the
Medium (M) Residential Development District; and, to the west is a mix of single-family and
multi-family residences within the Medium (M) Residential Development District; and
C. The site has regularly been cleared of vegetation and generally drains from north to
south. There is an existing drainage facility on the property to the east that facilitates surface flows
from one of the mobile home parks to the north and will be removed with the proposed development.
One of the mobile home parks to the north has an access easement across the project site to provide
vehicular access to Baker Avenue. This easement will be preserved with an automatic gate between
the two developments. There are 11 trees on the site that conflict with the proposed development and
will need to be removed; and
d. The project includes the development of 94 detached, two-story residences on
individual lots. There will be 86 zero lot line homes and 8 center plot homes; and

e. There are approximately 11 trees on the site. The applicant has submitted an
Arborist Report (Professional Design Associates — April 22, 2011) which concludes that the trees will
be in conflict with the proposed development and will need to be removed. The project will be
required to comply with the Development Code's tree planting requirement and plant at least 149
trees on-site.
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 proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and
any applicable specific plans; and
b. The proposed design or improvements are 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 project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and
avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The project is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-17

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.

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.
