APN: 0226-081-17.
A. Recitals.
1. Jonathan C. Curtis filed an application for the approval of Tentative Parcel
Map SUBTPM19367, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Tentative Parcel Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On October 10, 2012, 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 on October 10, 2012 , 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 on the west side of
Wardman Bullock Road, with a street frontage of a puzzle-shaped lot of approximately 90 feet on
Wardman Bullock Road and a lot depth at its longest point of approximately 663 feet, and presently
has one single-family residence with a majority of the land vacant; and
b. The property to the east, across Wardman Bullock Road of the subject site is
developed with single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to the south is
partially developed with a single-family residence and is zoned Very-Low Residential;the property to
the west is vacant and just beyond is a flood control basin and zoned Very-Low Residential then
west of that is zoned Flood Control, respectively; and the property to the north is undeveloped and is
zoned Very-Low Residential; and
C. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity as the subdivision meets all the Development Code requirements; and

d. The proposed subdivision falls within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan and is
designed in compliance with the approved Development Standards for that Plan; and
e. All parcels of the proposed subdivision meet the minimum net average of
25,000 square foot of lot area; and
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. That the tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development
Code, and all applicable specific plans by meeting all the applicable minimum requirements of each
of the documents; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans as the map complies with the
minimum dimensions and sizes of the district in which it is located; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed as it is located
in a residentially zoned district; 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 as a majority of the parcel has
already been graded and improved; and
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems as it
involves the division of one parcel into three at the end of an improved private street; and
f. The design of the tentative parcel 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. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15315(Minor Land Division) because the subdivision is fewer than four parcels, it conforms
with the General Plan and zoning, no variance or exceptions are required, all services and access to
the proposed parcels are available, the parcel was not involved in a division in the past two years,
and the parcel does not have any slopes greater than 20 percent. In addition,there is no substantial
evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its
own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
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.

residual pressure of 20-pounds per square inch. This requirement is made in accordance with Fire
Code Appendix B, as adopted by the Fire District Ordinances. The Fire flow has been established
in the approved FPP
2. Public fire hydrants located within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project may be used to provide
