DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) OF THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN; AND
MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF—APN: 225-381-06 AND 07.
A. Recitals.
1. JEC Enterprises, Inc. filed an application for the approval of Design Review DRC2014-
00168 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design
Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 25th 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 25, 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 southwest corner of East Avenue
and Chickasaw Road in the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and-
b. The 3.83 acre project site generally drains from north to south and is approximately
625 feet from east to west and 245 feet from north to south; and
C. To the north, east and west are single-family residences within the Very Low (VL)
Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (residences to the east were under construction at the
time of this report). To the south is the 210 Freeway; and
d. The applicant is requesting architectural and site plan review of 7 single-family
residences. The project is designed to comply with all related development criteria for the Very Low
(VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the street side yard setback for the
residence on Lot #7 and the necessity for a 16-foot tall sound wall along the south property line
adjacent to the 210 Freeway right-of-way; and
e. There is an approximate 40-foot encroachment into a portion of Lot#7 along the east
property line by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans. This encroachment makes it difficult to develop Lot

Page 2
#7 without the approval of a Variance. The applicant is requesting a 7-foot reduction in the required 25-
foot street side yard setback; and
f. The lots range in size from 23,870 to 25,959 square feet and the units range in size
from 3,503 to 3,804 square feet. Each plan is single-story with lot coverage ranging from 18.24 to
22.84 percent, below the maximum 25 percent permitted lot coverage; and
g. Horse corrals are plotted on each lot which comply with the required 70-foot
separation distance from the residences on the adjacent lots. A 15-foot wide equestrian trail will be
constructed along the south property line of the project site which connects to an existing equestrian
trail along the west property line; and
h. There will be a 16-foot tall sound wall on the south side of the equestrian trail and a 6-
foot tall garden wall on the north side of the equestrian trail, each of which will be constructed of split
face block where these walls either face the equestrian trail or are visible from public view. A view
obscuring wrought iron gate will be included on each lot to access and maintain the equestrian trail;
and
i. Lot#1 includes a triangular piece of land that is separated from the remainder of the
lot by the equestrian trail. The future homeowner of Lot#1 will be responsible for the maintenance of
this area. A gate has been added to access and secure this area from the equestrian trail; and
j. The project includes two floor plans with three different architectural styles per floor
plan including Spanish, Tuscan and country. Each architectural style includes multiple design elements
that emphasize and enhance the overall design theme including stone veneer, wrought iron and wood
siding. Each plan includes roof and wall plane articulation along with 3 color schemes to provide visual
interest; and
k. The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 require that the applicant plant a
eucalyptus windrow along the equestrian trail, on the north side of the wall dividing the yard area from
the equestrian trail. The project site is in a high fire hazard area as determined by the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Department (RCFPD), which requires that the spacing between the trees be
increased to reduce the potential fire hazard. The Landscape plan shows the required trees at the
spacing (30 foot on center) approved by the RCFPD; and
I. The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 also include a requirement to
construct a 16-foot tall sound wall along the Caltrans right-of-way. The wall will be maintained by the
individual property owners with Caltrans managing graffiti removal and landscape maintenance along
their right-of-way.
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 developed with 7 detached single-family residences
in accord with the .1-2 dwelling unit density range permitted within the Very Low (VL) Development
District.
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 residential development
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-22
DRC2014-00168 - JEC ENTERPRISES, INC.
March 25, 2015
Page 3
is a permitted use within the Very Low(VL) Residential District and is being developed at 1.8 dwelling
units per acre, below the maximum permitted 2 dwelling units per acre.
C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan including project density, setbacks,and design
guidelines. The project, though, requires the approval of two separate Variances. The first(DRC2014-
00403)for a corner side yard setback reduction from 25 feet to 18 feet due to an encroachment into the
project site by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans; and, the second (DRC2015-00103), to construct a
16-foot sound wall to attenuate traffic noise from the adjacent 210 Freeway;
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 developed with single-family residences in accord with the Very Low
(VL) Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and will be of a similar design and density to
those in the surrounding neighborhood.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written
and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this
application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on December
13, 2006 in connection with the City's approval of SUBTT18034. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with
subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i)substantial changes are proposed to
the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have
occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or
more severe environmental impacts; or(iii) new important information shows the project will have new
or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now
feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce
impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2014-
00168, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not
occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous
Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original project was for the subdivision of 3.83 acres of land into 7
lots for the development of single-family residences. The subject project is for the design review of the
7 single-family residences proposed for the approved lots with no change to the approved tentative
tract map. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed
in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed,
and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project
to a level of less than significant, as the project layout and design have not changed since the original
environmental determination. All applicable mitigation measures in the adopted MND will apply to this
project.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the current application.
