conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting 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 meeting on May 13, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to approximately 2.25 acres of land, basically a
rectangular configuration, located on the west side of Archibald Avenue, south of Base Line Road.
Said property is currently designated as Low Residential; and
b. The project site is approximately 612 feet from east to west and 160 feet from
north to south and is presently improved with a single-family residence; and
C. The project was designed to be architecturally compatible with the design of the
existing Villa Pacifica complex and also provides a direct vehicle and pedestrian connection
between the two related projects. The design of the proposed building has similar building
massing and architectural features (i.e., stucco exterior, tile roof, balconies, etc.). The revised
architecture includes a stacked stone wainscot and architectural reveals; and
d. The properties to the north of the subject site are designated High Residential
and developed with an existing senior housing apartment complex (Villa Pacifica) and Office and

developed with the Archibald Library. The properties to the west are designated Low Residential
and are developed with single-family residences. The property to the south is designated Low
Residential and is developed with the First Baptist Church of Rancho Cucamonga; and
e. The related General Plan Land Use Map Amendment DRC2014-00546 proposes
to amend the land use designation from Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) to High
Residential (24-30 dwelling units per acre); and
f. The related Zoning Map Amendment DRC2014-00547 proposes to amend the
land use district from the Low (L) Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) to the High (H)
Residential (24-30 dwelling units per acre) and Senior Housing Overlay Zoning District (SH); and
g. The related Tree Removal Permit DRC2015-00275, which proposes the removal
of 14 trees whose location conflicts with proposed improvements, including 3 heritage trees
including 1 Coast Live Oak and 2 Cork Oak trees. The 3 heritage trees will be replaced in kind
with a minimum of three 24-inch box size trees; and
h. The related Minor Exception DRC2014-00713, a request to increase the wall
height of a combination retaining and garden wall height from 6 feet to 8 feet along the west and
south property line. The increased wall height is necessary due to grade differences between the
project site and adjacent properties to maintain a minimum 6 foot high perimeter garden wall; and
i. The proposed project meets or exceeds all Development Code standards. As
conditioned, the proposed senior apartment complex will meet all applicable Development Code
standards for multiple family residential development.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting 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 proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and

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 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 recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
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; 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 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.
