will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt the
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 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 furtherfinds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings,the Planning Commission hereby recommends the
City Council adopt 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 the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission
recommends the City Council adopt 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 recommendation is based is the Planning Manager 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 Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth

Biological Resources
1) If vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or any other construction
related activity is to occur during the avian nesting season (February 1
through August 31), a preconstruction nesting survey shall be
conducted prior to initiation of construction. If nests are discovered,
they should be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer
setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist and consistent
with CDFW protocols. The temporary "no construction" area would
have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as
determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is
complete and all nestlings have fledged and left the nest, then
construction in the area could resume. If initial ground disturbing
activities or site clearing is proposed to occur outside of the nesting
season (September 1 through January 31), then a preconstruction
survey would not be required and construction could commence
unimpeded.

the Development Code for new residential development.
Cultural Resources
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 14-25

the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e.,
paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited
to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.
