Gillison, City Manager By: Breanna L. Medina, Emergency Management Coordinator Subject: CONTINUATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 15-093, PROCLAMING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL DROUGHT EMERGENCY UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 8630 AND RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.36 Recommendation Continue Resolution No. 15-093 proclaiming the existence of a Local Drought Emergency under Government Code Section 8630 and Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.36. Background On January 17, 2014, the Governor proclaimed a state of emergency due to current drought conditions. On April 1, 2015, the Governor also issued Executive Order B-29-15 which directed expedited actions to reduce the harmful impacts from water shortages and other impacts of the drought. The Governor's proclamation called upon local water suppliers and municipalities to implement water shortage contingency plans immediately in order to avoid or forestall outright restrictions that could become necessary later in the drought season. In response to these actions, on May 12, 2015 the Cucamonga Valley Water District declared a Stage 6 -Severe Water Emergency in Resolution No. 2015-5-3. Cucamonga Valley Water District has declared a Stage 6 -Severe Water Emergency in order to achieve a 35% reduction in potable water as part of the mandate for a total statewide reduction as outlined by the State Water Resources Control Board. As a customer of the Cucamonga Valley Water District, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will need to enact emergency measures through ordinance and other operational and administrative actions in order to meet these executive orders and mandated conservation numbers. Additionally, the existing drought conditions exacerbate already perilous fire conditions in the northern portions of the wild land urban interface of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and increase the risk of flash floods due to soil conditions. These conditions are likely to be beyond the services, equipment, personnel and fiscal resources of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Continuation of this local drought emergency will allow the Director of Emergency Services (City Manager) to continue to exercise the powers, functions, and duties of the emergency organization of the City prescribed by state law, ordinances, and resolutions existing and passed in conjunction with this emergency.

A. Recitals. 1. Storm Western Development, Inc. filed an application for the approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2013-00961 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject General Plan Amendment request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 12th of August 2015, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on General Plan Amendment DRC2013-00961 and issued Resolution No. 15-60, recommending to the City Council that the General Plan Amendment be approved. 3. On the 21st day of October 2015, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 4. 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 City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Council 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 Council during the above-referenced public hearing on October 21, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the south side of Carnesi Drive and east of Etiwanda Avenue in the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and b. To the north are single-family residences within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; to the south is an existing church within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; to the west is an existing church and single-family residences within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and to the east are single- family residences within the Low (L) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and P375 c. The General Plan land use designation and the Etiwanda Specific Plan zoning designation for the project site is Very Low (VL) Residential; and d. Storm Western Development, Inc. submitted an application for the subdivision of 8.32 acres of land into 17 lots (Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18936). Sixteen lots are for residential purposes, with Lot #17 as the new boundaries for Cross and Crown Lutheran church, which is located on a portion of the project site; and e. Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, which is located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Carnesi Drive, is selling a portion of their property to the applicant, which was originally master-planned for expansion of the church educational program; and f. The project site is vacant with the exception of Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, a perimeter wall along the south side of Carnesi Drive and 50 onsite trees. Staff has determined that the existing wall along the south side of Carnesi Drive was voluntarily constructed by Toll Brothers during the development of the residential subdivision on the north side of Carnesi Drive SUBTT16279. The wall straddles the property line between the project site (Tentative Tract 18936) and the public right-of-way. There is no documentation available showing that there is an easement or other legal agreement that would restrict removal of the wall; and g. The application includes General Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendments to change the land use and zoning designations from Very Low (VL) Residential (.1-2 DU per acre) to Low (L) Residential (2-4 DU per acre) for the 16 residential lots (Lots 1-16). The new boundaries for Cross and Crown Lutheran Church (Lot #17) will remain in the Very Low (VL) General Plan Land Use District and Etiwanda Specific Plan Zoning District. The project also includes applications for a Variance DRC2014-00219 for property line walls that range in height from 6 feet to up to 11 feet along the rear property lines of all 16 residential lots and a Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-00113 to remove up to 50 onsite trees. House product for the lots is not a part of the project scope and will be submitted at a later date; and h. The site is currently zoned Very Low (VL) Residential and is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area. The narrowness of the site precludes developing a double-loaded street with lots that meet the 200-foot lot depth requirement. The applicant has requested to change the zoning designation to Low (L) Residential, which requires 100-foot lot depths. The existing single-family residences to the east were developed prior to City’s incorporation and are within the Low (L) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing lots to the east average approximately 7,500 square feet in size, below the 15,000 square foot average lot size required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing single-family residences to the north are with the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and average approximately 25,000 square feet in size, in conformance with the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing lots to the west were developed prior to City’s incorporation and are within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and average approximately 16,000 square feet in size, below the 25,000 square foot average lot size required by the Etiwanda Specific plan; and i. The proposed lots comply with the 80-foot lot width and 100-foot lot depth requirements of the Etiwanda Specific Plan for the Low (L) Zoning District. The lots range in size from 11,597 to 19,938 square feet with an average lot size of 15,010 square feet, which exceeds the required 15,000 square foot average lot size. These lot sizes will permit for the creation of a double- loaded new street that provides a density transition from the existing smaller lot (7,500 square foot P376 lots) development to the east and the existing larger lot (25,000 square foot lots) development to the north. The proposed lots will also be compatible with the existing lots to the west, along Etiwanda Avenue, which average approximately 16,000 square feet in size; and j. The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan land use designation and the Etiwanda Specific Plan zoning designation from Very Low (VL) Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre) to Low (L) Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre). The lot sizes will allow for the creation of a double-loaded new street that provides a density transition from the existing smaller lot (7,500 square foot lots) development to the east and the existing larger lot (25,000 square foot lots) development to the north. The proposed lots will also be compatible with the existing lots to the west, along Etiwanda Avenue, which range in size from 15,000 and 16,000 square feet; and k. The project is designed to conform to all related development criteria for the Low (L) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the necessity of up to 11-foot tall walls. In conjunction with the application, the applicant has submitted a Variance application DRC2014- 00219 requesting to increase the maximum wall heights along the rear property line of all 16 residential lots from the permitted 6 feet to up to 11 feet in height for drainage purposes; and l. This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development. The proposed General Plan Amendment will change the Land Use Designation of the project site from Very Low (VL) to Low (L) Residential. The project site will act as a transition in density between the existing pre-incorporation non-conforming lot to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger conforming lots to the north (25,000 square foot lots). The new lots will be of similar size to the pre-incorporation non-conforming lots to the west (16,000 square foot lots). General Plan Policy LU-2.4 states that the “General Plan encourages the development of vacant residential lots where they are largely surrounded by other residential development to maximize efficient use of existing infrastructure and to meet housing demand;” and m. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the General Plan Land Use Element. General Plan Land Use Policy LU-2.5 encourages the development of land constrained by challenging parcel sizes and dimensions. If the project site was developed in adherence to the current land use designation (Very Low (VL) Residential - 25,000 square foot lots), the lot configuration dictates the creation of lots that are approximately 50 percent deeper and 30 percent larger in size than that required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit a transition in density between the smaller pre-incorporation non-conforming lots to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger conforming lots (25,000 square foot lots) to the north. The new lots will be of similar size to the pre-incorporation non-conforming lots immediately to the west (16,000 square foot lots); and n. This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit for the development of single-family residential lots that will act as a transition in density between the smaller lots (7,500 square foot lots) to the east and the larger lot (25,000 square foot lots) to the north. The project will connect to the existing roadway network and become a part of the larger community. The main environmental impact created by the project will be a minor increase in traffic. The increased traffic due to the General Plan Amendment is expected to add less than 100 trips per day to Carnesi Drive. The City’s Traffic Engineer has reviewed the traffic evaluation submitted for the project (Trames Solutions, Inc., P377 August, 2014) and concurs with the study conclusions that the project contribution to the number of vehicle trips along Carnesi Drive will have a minimal impact on the nearest intersections. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in terms of access, size and compatibility with the existing land uses in the surrounding area. The project site will be developed with single-family lots and is surrounded by residential development to the north, east and west and will be accessed by an adjacent public street and will connect to existing utility services. The proposed change in land use and zoning designation from Very Low (VL) Residential to Low (L) Residential will create a transition in density between the smaller lot residential development to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger lot residential development to the north (25,000 square foot lots). Under the current Very Low (VL) zoning classification (25,000 square foot lots), the narrowness of the project site dictates that the lots can only be plotted on one side of the new street. These lots would be approximately 50 percent deeper and 30 percent larger than required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan for the Very Low (VL) zoning designation and more than twice as large as the existing lots to the east, within the Low (L) zoning designation. For this reason, the proposed land use and zoning change to Low (L) Residential is appropriate. b. The proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties. The proposed General Plan Amendment will change in the land use designation of the project site from Very Low (VL) Residential to Low (L) Residential and will act as a transition in density between the smaller lot homes to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger lot homes to the north (15,000 square foot lots). The project site will connect to the existing roadway system and utility infrastructure. House product for the proposed lots was not submitted for review at this time. When house product is submitted, it will be reviewed for compliance with the design criteria outlined in the Etiwanda Specific Plan and Development Code and will require Design Review Committee review and Planning Commission approval. Staff has prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental impacts related to the project and determined that with the implementation of mitigation measures the project will not have a significant impact on the environment. c. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. The project site is surrounded by residential development to the north, east and west and will act as a transition in density between the smaller lot homes to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger lot homes to the north (25,000 square foot lots). To the east are single-family residences developed on approximately 16,000 square foot lots. The proposed subdivision will be developed in conformance with the Low (L) Residential development criteria of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for wall heights in excess of 6 feet necessary for drainage purposes. The project site will connect to an existing public street and will become part of the larger community. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the P378 findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the 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, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and b. The City Council has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the comments received from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) 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. During the Public Comment Period, staff received comments from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) regarding the potential for the project site to be a habitat for the Burrowing Owl and Western Yellow Bat. To address CDFW comments, two additional mitigation measures were added to Initial Study Parts II and III. The City Council further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on these findings, the City Council hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and c. The City Council 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 the mitigation measures during project implementation. The City Council therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project; and 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 City Council’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. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Council hereby adopts General Plan Amendment DRC2013-00961, as depicted in Attachment A, attached hereto. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 21ST DAY OF OCTOBER 2015.

Storm Western Development, Inc. submitted an application for the subdivision of 8.32 acres of land into 17 lots (Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18936). Sixteen lots are for residential purposes, with Lot #17 as the new boundaries for Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, which is located on a portion of the project site; and e. Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, which is located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Carnesi Drive, is selling a portion of their property to the applicant, which was originally master-planned for expansion of the church educational program; and f. The project site is vacant with the exception of Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, a perimeter wall along the south side of Carnesi Drive and 50 onsite trees. Staff has determined that the existing wall along the south side of Carnesi Drive was voluntarily constructed by the Toll Brothers during the development of the residential subdivision on the north side of Carnesi Drive (SUBTT16279). The wall straddles the property line between the project site (Tentative Tract 18936) and the public right-of-way. There is no documentation available showing that there is an easement or other legal agreement that would restrict removal of the wall; and g. The application includes General Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendments to change the land use and zoning designations from Very Low (VL) Residential (.1-2 DU per acre) to Low (L) Residential (2-4 DU per acre) for the 16 residential lots (Lots 1-16). The new boundaries for Cross and Crown Lutheran Church (Lot #17) will remain in the Very Low (VL) General Plan Land Use District and Etiwanda Specific Plan Zoning District. The project also includes applications for a Variance DRC2014-00219 for property line walls that range in height from 6 feet to up to 11 feet along the rear property lines of all 16 residential lots and a Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-00113 to remove up to 50 onsite trees. House product for the lots is not a part of the project scope and will be submitted at a later date; and h. The site is currently zoned Very Low (VL) Residential and is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area. The narrowness of the site precludes developing a double-loaded street with lots that meet the 200-foot lot depth requirement. The applicant has requested to change the zoning designation to Low (L) Residential, which requires 100-foot lot depths. The existing single-family residences to the east were developed prior to City’s incorporation and are within the Low (L) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing lots to the east average approximately 7,500 square feet in size, below the 15,000 square foot average lot size required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing single-family residences to the north are with the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and average approximately 25,000 square feet in size, in conformance with the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The existing lots to the west were developed prior to City’s incorporation and are within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and average approximately 16,000 square feet in size, below the 25,000 square foot average lot size required by the Etiwanda Specific plan; and i. The proposed lots comply with the 80-foot lot width and 100-foot lot depth requirements of the Etiwanda Specific Plan for the Low (L) Zoning District. The lots range in size from 11,597 to 19,938 square feet with an average lot size of 15,010 square feet, which exceeds the required 15,000 square foot average lot size. These lot sizes will permit for the creation of a double- loaded new street that provides a density transition from the existing smaller lot (7,500 square foot lots) development to the east and the existing larger lot (25,000 square foot lots) development to the north. The proposed lots will also be compatible with the existing lots to the west, along Etiwanda Avenue, which average approximately 16,000 square feet in size; and P383 j. The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan land use designation and the Etiwanda Specific Plan zoning designation from Very Low (VL) Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre) to Low (L) Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre). The lots will allow for the creation of a double-loaded new street that provides a density transition from the existing smaller lot (7,500 square foot lots) development to the east and the existing larger lot (25,000 square foot lots) development to the north. The proposed lots will also be compatible with the existing lots to the west, along Etiwanda Avenue, which range in size from 15,000 and 16,000 square feet; and k. The project is designed to conform to all related development criteria for the Low (L) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the necessity of up to 11-foot tall walls. In conjunction with the related applications, the applicant has also submitted a Variance application (DRC2014-00219) requesting to increase the maximum wall heights along the rear property line of all 16 residential lots from the permitted 6 feet to up to 11 feet in height for drainage purposes. SECTION 3: Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for the development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development. As a Land Use Policy, the General Plan states that new development should be accommodated in a manner that integrates it into the physical structure of the City, is a logical extension of existing infrastructure improvements and there are adequate public services available to serve the development. The proposed zoning amendment will implement the Land Use Policies outlined above and will not be inconsistent with the density or quality of existing development within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area and the City. b. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which in turn are consistent with and implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. These goals include promoting the economical and efficient use of land, promoting design and construction techniques that are responsive to the environment, and promoting development compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed zoning amendment will result in development that is consistent with these goals and objectives and will be indistinguishable in overall quality and design from existing development in the surrounding area. c. The proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed zoning amendment will act as a transition in density between the smaller lot homes to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger lot homes to the north (25,000 square foot lots). The lots will be of similar size to the existing residential lots to the east. The minor increase in density will not increase traffic in a manner that is beyond what the roads were designed to accommodate or overwhelm the existing public facilities in the surrounding area; and d. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. The General Plan states that the Low (L) land use designation is characterized by detached, low density single- family residential units on individual lots forming a cohesive neighborhood, with private yards and private parking with a density range of 2 to 4 dwelling units per acre. The related subdivision (SUBTT18936) of the project site has a proposed density of 2.43 units per acre. The proposed zoning amendment will be fully compliant with the General Plan; and P384 e. In conjunction with the approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2013-00961, the proposed Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment will be consistent with the objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The project site is being subdivided for the development of single-family residences with a density of 2.43 dwelling units per acre and an average lot size of 15,010 square feet, in excess of the required 15,000-square foot average lot size. The project site will act as a transition in density between the smaller lot homes to the east (7,500 square foot lots) and the larger lot homes to the north (25,000 square foot lots). The lots will be of similar size to the existing residential lots to the west and will become an integral part of the surrounding area. SECTION 4: Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the 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, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. b. The City Council has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the comments received from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) 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. During the Public Comment Period, staff received comments from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) regarding the potential for the project site to be a habitat for the Burrowing Owl and Western Yellow Bat. To address CDFW comments, two additional mitigation measures were added to Initial Study Parts II and III. The City Council further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on these findings, the City Council hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and c. The City Council 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 the mitigation measures during project implementation. The City Council therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project; and d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission’s recommendation 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. P385 SECTION 5: The Etiwanda Specific Plan is hereby amended to change the project site land use district from Very Low (L) Residential to Very Low (VL) Residential, in words and figures, as shown in Attachment A. SECTION 6: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is, for any reason, deemed or held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or preempted by legislative enactment, such decision or legislation shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or words thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, clauses, phrases, or words might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional or preempted by subsequent legislation. SECTION 7: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published within 15 days after its passage at least once in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Ontario, California, and circulated in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Neighborhood Meeting #2 The applicant held a second neighborhood meeting on June 19,2014 at 6:00 p.m.at Etiwanda Gardens, with approximately 100 persons in attendance. The developer presented an updated layout which created a cul-de-sac off of Carnesi Drive with an Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA)gate. The Toll Brothers residents remained in opposition to the new layout,not wanting any portion of the wall removed in order to provide access to Carnesi Drive The residents insisted that access should be taken from Etiwanda Avenue through the church property The church members in attendance raised concerns that accessing the site through the church parking lot would potentially encumber their future expansion plans Design Review Committee Meeting #2 The updated project (Layout #2)was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on March 31,2015 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was attended by approximately 50 community members from Cross and Crown Lutheran Church and residents from the surrounding neighborhood The church members were generally in favor of the modified project layout presented by the applicant Residents living north of the project site expressed opposition to the project layout and submitted a petition signed by 86 residents.Their concerns included removal of a portion of a wall along the south side of Carnesi Drive,vehicle traffic and a perceived loss of property value due to the proposed smaller lot sizes The Committee stated that the proposed layout was a good compromise taking the neighbors concerns into consideration.The Committee recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for their review Planning Commission Workshop The applicant held a Planning Commission Workshop in the Tri -Communities Room of City Hall on August 27,2014 at 8:20 p.m. The applicant outlined the advantages and disadvantages of 4 potential layouts of the project site and how they arrived at their decision to move forward with Layout #2,which takes access from Carnesi Drive with a cul-de-sac The Commissioners commented that while the original layout had many positive features,Layout #2 addressed many of the concerns raised by the neighboring property owners The Commission observed that Layout #3,which was designed to meet the current Very Low (VL)zoning requirements,required the removal of more linear feet of wall along Carnesi Drive,created lots that were approximately 30 percent larger and 50 percent deeper than the lots to the north and eliminated the opportunity for an emergency vehicle access gate to provide a secondary access point to the existing development to the east The Commissioners commented that Layout #4,which takes access from Etiwanda Avenue through the church parking lot with a double cul-de-sac,created an awkward street layout with multiple flag lots and greatly encumbered any future expansion of the church Zoning Conforming Layout Seven (7) lots Complies with Very Low (VL)

Council approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2013-00961 and Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment DRC2013-00962 •Approximately 30 persons commented on the project •The positive comments were related to the applicant’s willingness to make changes to the originally proposed site layout to accommodate concerns raised by the neighboring property owners •The concerns raised were related to opposition to the zone change and the new project street taking access from Carnesi Drive which requires removal of a portion of an existing wall •These residents continue to request access be taken from Etiwanda Avenue through the church parking lot General Plan Consistency •General Plan Land Use Policy LU-2.4 encourages the development of vacant residential lots where they are largely surrounded by other residential development to maximize the efficient use of the existing infrastructure and to meet the housing demand •General Plan Land Use Policy LU-2.5 encourages the development of land constrained by challenging parcel sizes and dimensions •The proposed amendment advances the goals of the General Plan to develop land with challenging parcel sizes and dimension,to create compatible development consistent with land patterns of adjacent developments and to provide an adequate number of housing units to meet the housing demand Neighborhood Compatibility •If developed under the current standards,the narrowness of the project site would dictate the creation of lots that are much deeper and larger than required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. •The project as proposed will provide for a visually appealing street scene with houses plotted on both sides of the new public street •The proposed amendments will provide a logical transition between the smaller lots to the east and larger lots to the north •The new lots will have a similar appearance to the lots to the north,the main difference being lot depth,as the lots on average are only 10 feet narrower than those to the north
