Rancho Cucamonga conducted a 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 January 28, 2015, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a property located on the east side of Madrone Avenue
between Arrow Route and 9th Street in the Medium (M) Development District;
b. The project site is approximately 350 feet from north to south and 369 feet from
east to west and is comprised of three parcels;
C. The site is relatively flat and contains 26 trees; nine (9) were determined in the
arborist report(Andresen, September 2014)to be heritage tress, as classified by the Development
Code. The location and condition of the trees prevent them from being incorporated into the new
project, and all the existing trees will be removed. The Landscape Plan includes the planting of 153
new trees, mitigating the loss of the removed trees;

e. The project complies with all related development criteria of the Medium (M)
Development District including project density, building design, setbacks, parking, private and
common open space areas, landscape coverage, and recreation facilities.
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 proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan in
that the project site is residentially zoned and is being subdivided for residential purposes. The
project site is being developed with 31 detached condominiums with a project density of 10.3
dwelling units per acre, within the permitted density range of 8 to 14 units per acre.
b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located in that the proposed parcels are being
subdivided for residential purposes and will be of similar size and density to those in the surrounding
area.
C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code including project density, setbacks, parking, private and common open
space areas and recreation facilities.
d. That the proposed design, 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 in that the lots will be used for residential development in accord with
the Medium (M) development district and will provide adequate parking and recreational facilities.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Negative Declaration,
together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the
application,the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will
have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Negative Declaration based upon the
findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQK) 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 further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Design Review entitlement.
