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 objectives of the General Plan by
providing a variety of housing units that are compatible with the surrounding area; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located by adhering to all setback, height, and density
regulations that govern the area where these homes are being constructed; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code in that single-family residences are an approved use within the Very Low
Residential District of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan; and
d. 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.
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, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in January.9, 2013, in
connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18741. 'Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required
in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial
changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment;
(ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts;or(iii)new important information
shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv)
additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures
can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Development Review,that
substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred
which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The development review proposes the construction of 53 single-family
residences'as evaluated in the previous initial study. Staff further finds that the project will not have
one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not
have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation
measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-significant.
The proposed construction of the single-family residences meets the requirements of the
development code and specific plan in which the project site is located.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the Development Review.
