A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING CERTIFICATION
OF FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PREPARED FOR GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENT 83-01B AND FOR THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN
TO THE CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, a draft Environmental Impact Report was prepared to address
the potential environmental effects of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and
associated General Plan Amendment 83-01B; and,
WHEREAS, the draft EIR has undergone the required public review
period; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held several duly advertised
public hearings; and,
WHEREAS, all comments from responding agencies and interested
individuals have been carefully considered.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga does hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS
• 1. The final Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, and State and local EIR
guidelines.
2. The final Environmental Impact Report contains
appropriate measures to mitigate potential
environmental impacts, and adequately addresses all
reasonable environmental concerns generated by the
project.
SECTION 2: RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above findings, the Planning Commission
recommends to the City Council that the final
Environmental Impact Report be certified for adequacy,
and that the City Council adopt the following statement
of overriding considerations:
"Future development proposals submitted under the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and associated General Plan
Amendment 83-01B have the potential for creating some
significant environmental effects which cannot be fully
mitigated. These effects, identified in the final EIR,
are the unavoidable result of development taking place in
•
a largely undeveloped community.
. Resolution No. 83-25

•
However, the degree of these impacts is being mitigated
to the fullest extent feasible through the measures
incorporated into the EIR and the draft Specific Plan.
The Etiwanda Specific Plan itself is a measure to
mitigate potential adverse impacts of development on the
existing community which would otherwise occur without a
planned and comprehensive approach. The draft Specific
Plan contains provisions tailored to the community of
Etiwanda and is meant to replace existing City-wide
zoning regulations that could cause damage to Etiwanda's
unique qualities and community traits.
Consequently, the adoption of the Etiwanda Specific Plan
and General Plan Amendment 83-01B will result in
potential environmental effects that are substantially
less significant in scope and extent than those effects
which would otherwise occur under current General Plan
and zoning regulations."
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 17th DAY OF FEBRUARY, 1983.
