LARK DRIVE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF —APN:
1089-011-04.
A. Recitals.
1. Caldwell Land Solutions filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT18508 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,the subject
Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of March 2015, the Planning Commission of the City of
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 March 11,2015, 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 northwest corner of Kenyon
Way and Lark Drive in the School (S) Zoning District; and
b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north
to south; and
C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium
(LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and
d. The General Plan land use designation is Park (P) and the Victoria Community
Plan zoning designation is School (S). The City has no plans to develop the site as a park and the
school district has determined that the site is not needed as a school site; and

f. The project is designed to conform to all related development criteria for the Low
Medium(M)Development District of the Victoria Community Plan,except for the depth of Lot#19. In
conjunction with Tentative Tract SUBTT18508, the applicant has submitted a Variance application
(DRC2014-01117) requesting a reduction in the lot depth requirement; and
g. The Victoria Community Plan requires a minimum lot width of 50 feet and minimum
lot size of 5,000 square feet. The Community plan also requires that lots 55 feet wide or greater
have a lot size of 6,000 square feet to provide variety. The project complies with each of these
requirements; and
h. The smallest lot size in the development is 5,025 square feet and the largest lot
size is 11,210 square feet, with an average lot size of 6,807 square feet, exceeding the 5,500
square foot average lot size requirement; and
i. The project includes 3 lettered lots that will be maintained by the Landscape
Maintenance District in the area. Lot"A" is on the south side of Lark Drive and was created in order
to permit the intersection of the new project street and Lark Drive to line up. Lots"B" and "C"were
created in order to provide line-of-site visibility for the project's interior streets where they intersect
with Kenyon Way,which is curvilinear along the project boundary.The Engineering Department has
agreed to accept dedication and maintenance of the lettered lots.
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 tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,and any
applicable specific plans in that as part of this application there is also a related General Plan
Amendment (DRC2014-00560) and Victoria Community Plan Amendment (DRC2014-00561)
changing the land use and zoning designations of the General Plan and Victoria Community Plan to
Low Medium(LM)Residential.The project is designed to comply with all of the development criteria
for the Low Medium (LM) Development District of the Victoria Community Plan, except for the lot
depth of Lot#19. A Variance application (DRC2014-01117)for the reduction of lot depth for this lot
is included as part of the requested entitlements. The project will have a density of 4.7 dwelling
units per acre, within the permitted density range of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
b. In conjunction with the approval of the General Plan Amendment and Victoria
Community Plan Amendment, the design or improvements of the tentative tract will be consistent
with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans with approval the
approval of the related General Plan Amendment (DRC2014-00560), Victoria Community Plan
(DRC2014-00561) and Variance (DRC2014-01117). The project site is being subdivided for
residential purposes and will be of similar size and density to the single-family residential
development in the surrounding area.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed in that the
project is designed to conform to all of the related development criteria of the Low Medium (LM)
Development District of the Victoria Community Plan, except for the lot depth of Lot#19 and the
corresponding Variance application for lot depth.The project site is surrounded by similar residential
development to the north, south and east, is accessed by an adjacent public street and will connect
to existing utility services.

d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat in that the Initial Study prepared
for the project includes mitigation measures that reduce any potential impacts to humans or wildlife
to less than significant;
e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the
lots are being subdivided for residential purposes and will not include the use of hazardous
materials that would cause public health problems;
f. The design of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired by the
public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision as the subject property does not contain any easements that would limit access to or
use of the project site.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessmentfor
the application,the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence thatthe project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration 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 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 recommends the
City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Tentative
Tract entitlement.
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 therefore
recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
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.
