Tabe van der Zwaag presented the staff report and a brief PowerPoint presentation demonstrating the various screening/fencing of the applicant's property as well as other adjoining properties along the rail line. He outlined the new condition from the Engineering Department which maps out the payment of fees for undergrounding along Whittram Avenue with respect to the current owned properties and the property that is currently leased by the business. Commissioner Fletcher asked if there is a height restriction for the pile of material; what the provision is for completing the underground improvements and how that will be 'tracked'. He suggested that a 5-year time limit might be easier to track. Mr. Van der Zwaag replied that the height limit is 8 feet at the perimeter wall but increases near the interior; the operation will be brought back for review if there are complaints. Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney responded to the "tracking" issue and said the condition in the resolution essentially does that because it says that condition must be accomplished in 5 years • or sooner if they take ownership of the property. He said it would be grounds for Code Enforcement and/or revocation of their permits if they did not fulfill the condition and then they would have to cease operations. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer said he would track this by putting it on outlook for the next 5 years and that a back-up engineer would also track it. He said the project could also be tagged in Tidemark so that if those APN parcels are opened in tidemark,this requirement will pop up, notifying staff to check on it. Commissioner Fletcher asked if they agree to the condition requiring them to pave the entire site. Mr. van der Zwaag stated they have and there have been complaints about the dust generated by the site to the AQMD. Commissioner Oaxaca confirmed that all 4 site improvements noted would be done concurrently so they are to be complete in 8 months. Mr. van der Zwaag confirmed that the condition requires them to have all the improvements done in 8 months. Chairman Munoz opened the public hearing and invited the applicant forward. George Chiu, 718 West Sixth Street, Upland, representing the applicant, concurred with all the conditions. He thanked staff for working with them for the past year. He thanked Mr. Troyer for allowing them to continue to operate while they were in the review process. • Planning Commission Minutes -2- March 28, 2012 ♦ '1L • Chairman Munoz closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she appreciated the complete report. She said she was at the last DRC meeting to fill-in and was pleased the applicant agrees with what to staff asked to be done. She said everyone did a good job. Commissioner Oaxaca concurred and said they have a satisfactory resolution for both the applicant and the City. He said he looks forward to them completing the improvements and operate the business successfully. Commissioner Wimberly thanked Mr. van der Zwaag and staff, and commended the applicants for their efforts in working with staff and working with them at the DRC and over difficult items. He said that is why we are here. Commissioner Fletcher said it appears all the issues have been hammered out and agreed upon. He said he is happy to see street improvements on Whittram Avenue as the site improvements are good for the site and the community. Chairman Munoz said he appreciated working with the applicants at the DRC and those that filled in for him in his absence. He said he is still concerned about meeting our standards and relaxing those whenever the feeling comes to us. He said he took to heart what Mr. Henderson said at a recent meeting that there is a reason for the standards that are in place. He said it is difficult to be at DRC and uphold a standard that was already relaxed for someone else. He said he does appreciate the work of his colleagues, but is concerned about holding to our standards. He said he would support approval of the application with reservations. • Motion: Moved by Howdyshell, seconded by Wimberly, to adopt the Resolutions of Approval with conditions for Development Design Review DRC201.1-00255 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2011- 00254 and to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: FLETCHER, HOWDYSHELL, MUNOZ, OAXACA, WIMBERLY NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE - carried PUBLIC COMMENTS None COMMISSION BUSINESS AND COMMENTS Commissioner Fletcher said with respect to the discussion tonight, it might be beneficial to have a future workshop to discuss the policy issues. He said there are differences of opinion on standards/policies related to development applications and he said he believes the Commission has some flexibility and he would like the Commission to know what they have to work with. He asked that staff agendize such a workshop. • Chairman Munoz concurred. Planning Commission Minutes -3- March 28, 2012 Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she toured the Santa Barbara development located in Terra Vista. • She said they are for rent-3-story townhomes, nicely appointed, extensive landscaping, clubhouse, pool, and fitness center.

PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP FOR LA/ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILTY PLAN DRC2010-00157-CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGAAND CITY OF ONTARIO-Ajoint workshop from the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Staff and the City of Ontario Planning Staff to present the LA/Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) and Cooperative Agreement for establishing the Ontario International Airport-Inter Agency Collaborative (ONT-IAC). Related Files: Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 18 Text Amendment DRC2010-00685 and Development Code Amendment DRC2010-00984. Donald Granger, Senior Planner, gave a brief introduction regarding the purpose of the workshop. He noted that the airport is an asset and creates business synergy and the plan promotes land use compatibility. He said two main components are airspace protection and air flight notification. He then turned the meeting over to the City of Ontario team consisting of Jerry Blum, Planning Director and Lorena Mejia, Associate Planner. Mr. Blum gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining the process of adopting the plan and explained that the airport creates 55,000 jobs totaling$5.4 billion (1.5 billion devoted to aviation and 3.5 billion which is spent in the local economy). He noted that the airport greatly increases the need for Class A office space. He said the plan has a 20-year horizon and this is why the impacts would extend to Rancho Cucamonga and the other neighboring cities. He said the plan is in conformance with Ontario's new General Plan. In response to Commissioner Fletcher, Mr. Blum noted that it is not likely the capacity cap of 30 million passengers will be exceeded and if it did, it would not occur for many years and at 24 billion, • would require additional runways at a huge cost. i In response to Vice Chairman Howdyshell, Mr. Blum said the Natural Hazard Disclosure that realtors provide to their buyers will now include Air flight notifications. He said following adoption, we must meet the policies of the plan. He noted that the plan only affects new development within the area of • the plan. He said some projects will have to go through a notification process and be submitted for review by the collaborative group such as: General Plan amendments, Specific Plan amendments, annexations, structures that exceed the allowable height, and those that have the potential to create electrical or visual hazards. He said that if other jurisdictions are in a dispute regarding a specific project that does not affect our jurisdiction we would not be brought into the dispute; disputes are dealt with by the mediation board. Mr. Blum emphasized that they critically analyzed time,effort and cost in the development of this process. In response to Commissioner Fletcher, he said all plan amendments would be submitted for review even if they have "no effect" - it would merely be submitted as a general notification of the project. He said their response time is 20 days. He said it is their hope that sending the notification will be part of Rancho's existing process. Mr. Blum added that the committee would only be aware if a specific project was not compliant. He said unlike county commissions, our mediation group will be staffed by people that represent the cities that are most affected. James Troyer, Planning Director, noted that this is already outlined and represented in our 2010 General Plan Update. Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney, asked if they are looking for a specific finding. Mr. Blum said that it need only be found to be in conformance with our General Plan and policies. He said the next step is to move forward with the review of the agreement and then it would proceed to the Commission and for final approval by the City Council. Discussion of this item ended at 8:30 p.m. • B. PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2012-00021 -ZION ENTERPRISES LLC: A request for a Planning Commission Workshop review of a mixed use project comprised of a senior assisted living and dementia care facility, a medical office building, retail and restaurant pads, and a hotel on two parcels of about 301,000 square feet (6.9 acres) in the Mixed Use (MU) District (Subarea 19) located at the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and Civic Center Drive that is part of a retail and residential development generally located on the west side of Haven Avenue between Civic Center Drive and Foothill Boulevard;APN: 0208-331-40 and -47. Related files: Development Review DRCDROO-79 and Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16179 James Troyer, Planning Director gave a brief introduction of the project. He introduced the design team from Zion Enterprises LLC: Brian Hunter (Managing Partner), Charlie Zhang (Owner) and Greg Irwin (Architect). He stated that most of the project is consistent with City policy but that the main policy question for the Commission is about the proposed Senior Assisted Living and Dementia care facility located on the western portion of the site. He said that the applicant has already been notified that a Use Determination would have to be processed to determine if the Senior Assisted Living and Dementia care facility use is similar to a "convalescent facility"which is currently allowed in the Haven Overlay. He said if the applicant was not successful in the Use Determination process, then the applicant would have to file and successfully process a Development Code Amendment for it to be allowed. Linda Daniels,Assistant City Manager, said that the use described as"Convalescent Facility" will be removed/will not be permitted in the Haven Overlay in the proposed Development Code Update that • is currently in process and nearing completion. PC Adjourned Minutes -2- March 28, 2012 Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney said although not completed, the update is coming forward as the draft Code has been released for review. • Vice Chairman Howdyshell confirmed that there is an element of timing. Mr. Hunter introduced Mr. Irwin and Charlie Zhang, of Zion Enterprises (Principal owner/investor) and Ms. Mejia, Associate Planner. He explained that this is essentially the fourth phase of commercial development. He said the facility might employ the PACE program which incorporates skilled nursing during the day. He said part of the senior care facility is beyond the west boundary line of the Haven Overlay and therefore, they believe this to be a transition use as residential uses exist to the west. He said 95% of the assisted living facility lies within the residential area and is fairly far off from the Haven corridor. He said they have support from the neighbors in the form of an amendment to their association document for this proposed use and from the apartment owners. He said it is a mixed use site and putting the hotel, restaurant, retail and senior care together should generate activity. He said the architecture matches the Verona style already used in the existing development. He said there are some things about the plan that staff may want to adjust. He said they believe the parking is adequate using the number 70 as a benchmark number. He said they intend to have a parking study done. He said it is a mixed use site in a village type setting. He said their financing is not an issue, it is in place, they are ready to get it done. Chairman Munoz noted that depending on what they finally bring forward will determine the parking. Mr. Irwin said that with respect to the architecture, his firm substantially does senior housing. He said that it is a transitional use because it is between residential and commercial uses. Mr. Zhang said he is looking for high quality; Victoria Gardens is his model. • Chairman Munoz then asked for comments from the Commission. Commissioner Oaxaca said he likes the layout and arrangement of buildings. He said hewould like to see a parking study as their buildings may have them locked in as to what is available for parking. He said the architecture looks consistent with what is there however it is a highly visible site. He said he is not necessarily opposed to the senior care facility but thought he should have more information about how much of those services we already have in the City. He said with respect to such residents, there is the potential about emergency response vehicles and noise. Commissioner Fletcher stated he supported the idea of a parking study and he did not favor the idea of shared parking. He said he did not think a dementia care facility fits for this site-it is not what the City envisioned for Haven Avenue. He said he also had not favored the residential project to the south. He said it was envisioned as Class A office and the idea was to attract corporate headquarters. He said with respect to the architecture, the hotel building appears monotonous with linear plane windows and needs a lot more design work. He said he was more in tune with the prior project that was approved. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said that because the intersection of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is an important focal point, and traveled extensively, she would like the architecture to be more upscale. She said she is ok with the inn and suites and it could service visiting business people. She said she did not know how many or how much senior care facilities we already have. She said she is more familiar with those existing in the north portion of the city. She said she was not sure this mix of uses is a match. She said she thought this facility should be in an area of lower density with a mix of single-family houses and more open space. She said the connectivity with the development to the north is a challenge with respect to the parking. • PC Adjourned Minutes -3- March 28, 2012 Commissioner Wimberly said that Mr. Hunter specifically noted that the southerly portion of the site has been reserved for a larger office building, but because of the economy, that part of the development is not being brought forward at this time. He said this proposal is not the same level of • product previously proposed but that could make this corner better than what it is. He said parking is a concern and they need to do a traffic/parking study. He said the actual design of the assisted living facility fits but he would like to see more quality. He said the City already has several senior assisted facilities and they blend better than this does. He was curious about the funding sources for the senior facility (private/government). Commissioner Munoz said we welcome restaurants and retail. He said the hotel design needs to be punched up because of the significant location. He read the goals of the Haven Overlay into the record: Encourage long-range master planned development along the Haven Avenue Corridor which enhances Rancho Cucamonga's image providing an intensive, high-quality gateway into the City and by promoting a distinctive, attractive, and pleasant office park atmosphere in a campus-like setting with high prestige identity. He said he did not believe the senior care-dementia facility is in line with the goal statement set for the Haven Overlay. He said that with a convalescent type of facility is the idea that patients will get better and go home but with dementia care it is more of an issue of maintenance and eventually people pass away, they really don't go back home and the ambulances will eventually come. He said the idea for the use should be revisited. He said he likes the architecture on the smaller buildings but the hotel design needs to be punched up. Mr. Irwin commented that his firm has focused on senior housing since 1966. He said the terminology is very different now than it used to be. He said with assisted living, it involves seniors that are 85, and no longer drive. He said seniors want to be in more active, urban places and they want to be involved. Typically they do not put them in quiet neighborhoods any longer. He said this is what the push is in senior housing today. He reemphasized that the line for the Haven Overlay • runs vertically along the westerly portion of the site and that with that in mind, the use conforms to the code because it is a transition use. Commissioner Fletcher reemphasized that he did not feel it was the right place/location for this facility in such close proximity to this corridor. Chairman Munoz said they would not debate that issue, but the Commission is here to provide comments. He said he is looking at the project not with respect to the line but with what is practical. Commissioner Fletcher mentioned that the issue of the line came up with a previous approval (existing residential to the south) and the Commission unanimously did not support that proposal but it was later appealed and approved by the Council. Charlie Zhang asked what this project should be. He said in this economy they can build buildings for corporations but they remain empty-they have had zero success with that. Chairman Munoz said their original proposal is closer to what we want and he suggested the applicants bring other alternatives. Mr. Hunter asked what the next steps are. Mr. Troyer said they would have to file their submittal, get a Use Determination, go to DRC, then to the Planning Commission for approval. He said design and use is discussed at the DRC. He said the decision of the Planning Commission can be appealed to the City Council. • PC Adjourned Minutes -4- March 28, 2012 Mr. Flower said the big issue is the Use Determination. If it is found to not be consistent with the Code then the applicant would need to file for a Code amendment. He said that would go to the • Commission and then the City Council for final approval. He said the new Development Code Update will likely be adopted before that.

General and Site Characteristics: The applicant is proposing to construct 13 "for sale" residential condominiums. There are no structures on-site that will require demolition, only a section of an old retaining wall will be removed during grading operations. The 2.12 acre site • is comprised of three parcels. East of the project site are two single-family dwelling units; to the south is a commercial shopping center; to the west is the Cucamonga Creek Channel; and to the north is the Pacific Electric Hiking and Biking Trail. ITEMS A & B r PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 • Page 2 The project will consist of 7 two-story units, and 6 one-story units. All units have a two-car garage and private yard area. The architectural theme draws heavily from the Craftsman Bungalow style, utilizing wood siding, battered window surrounds, decorative garage doors and appropriate fenestration selections. Square footages range from 1,269 to 1,955. All elevations exhibit 360 degree architecture. B. Site Planning and Amenities: The project entry point has been designed with decorative concrete and a planter wall that will flank the entrance. All single-story product (units 8-13) have been plotted adjacent to the existing single-family dwelling units in order to preserve privacy and be sensitive to the massing and scale of the adjacent, existing single-story houses. The project includes a tot lot, grass area and barbeque area as amenities, thereby meeting the 3 amenity requirement. The project has a total of 13 open parking stalls, thereby providing a 1:1 unit to guest stall parking ratio. The Development Code requires 1 stall per 4 units; as a result, the project is providing a total of 3 parking spaces per unit (2 car garage plus 1 stall per unit). Direct access to the Pacific Electric Hiking/Biking Trail is not feasible due to grade differences and slope conditions. Residents will be required to access the trail from Carnelian Street. C. Parcel Acquisition History: In 1989, Mr. Johnson Hong for Home and Land LLC acquired the three parcels that comprise the project site from a private party. In January of 2005 the • applicant filed for an entitlement for the 13 residential condominiums. D. Vacation of Carnelian Street: The project site is comprised of three parcels that total 2.12 (gross) acres of land. On January 13, 2010, the Engineering Department recommended that the Planning Commission make a finding through minute action to vacate a portion of unimproved Carnelian Street. right-of-way that is located between the parcels. Utility companies, other agencies and various City departments were notified of the proposed vacation and were asked for comments; no objection to the vacation was received. The vacation is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code because the right-of-way is not required for street, highways and related purposes anymore and will become part of Lot 1 of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510. Section 8334 of the Street and Highways Code states that local agencies may summarily vacate (by resolution) if an excess right-of-way of a street or highway is no longer required for street and highway purposes. On January 13, 2010, the Planning Commission, by minute action, found the vacation of Carnelian Street to be in conformance with the General Plan. On February 17, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 10-027, thereby vacating said portion of Carnelian Street. The opportunity to vacate a portion of Carnelian Street within the project was not unique or a privileged right of the applicant as any applicant or property owner that would have acquired the parcels would have been eligible to file a request to vacate the same portion of Carnelian Street since it is no longer required for street and highway purposes. E. Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510: Concurrent with the Development Review entitlement, the applicant has applied for a subdivision of air space in order to create 13 residential • condominiums. A & B 2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 • HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 Page 3 F. Tree Removal Permit DRC2009-00914: The 2.12 acre site has gentle slopes and will require the removal of 2 trees that are in the way of proposed site improvements. The trees were evaluated by an arborist and none of the trees are considered significant. The development application includes the installation of 70 new trees that will mitigate the loss of the 2 trees as well as provide substantial shade and aesthetic benefit to the project overall. The Tree Removal Permit will be approved administratively by staff following the Commission approval of the associated Development Review (DRC2005-00044) and Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT16510). G. Minor Exception: The project includes an application for a Minor Exception (DRC2009-00913) to allow up to 8-foot wall heights for sound attenuation purposes and 8-foot combination retaining/freestanding wall heights for grade differential purposes. A 6 to 8-foot high split-face wall will be constructed around the perimeter of the project. Since the Development Code places the reviewing authority for Minor Exceptions under the Planning Director, following review and action by the Planning Commission on the Development Review, Tentative Tract Map and Tree Removal Permit, the Planning Director will take action on the associated Minor Exception. H. Grading Review Committee: The request for Development Review DRC2005-00044 and Tentative Tract SUBTT16510 was reviewed by the Grading Committee on March 6, 2012. On March 6, 2012, the Committee recommended approval of the Development Review and • Tentative Tract Map. The Committee's conditions have been included in the attached Draft Resolution of Approval. I. Design Review Committee: The request for Development Review DRC2005-00044 and Tentative Tract SUBTT16510 was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Munoz, Wimberly and Troyer) on March 6, 2012. On March 6, 2012, the Committee recommended approval of the Development Review and Tentative Tract Map. The Committee's conditions have been included in the attached Draft Resolution of Approval. J. Technical Review Committee: The request for Development Review DRC2005-00044 and Tentative Tract SUBTT16510 was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee on March 6, 2012. On March 6, 2012, the Committee recommended approval of the Development Review and Tentative Tract Map. The Committee's conditions have been included in the attached Draft Resolution of Approval. K. Environmental Assessment: Since the project site is located within the vicinity of the Red Hill area, which is known to be historically inhabited by Native Americans, the cultural resources portion of the environmental assessment warrants discussion. There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however, as noted above, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans. In accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Environmental Guidelines and practices, the City contacted the San Bernardino County Museum and requested that a records search be performed in order to ascertain the occurrence potential for archaeological, • historic or cultural resources. Planning staff received correspondence from Ms. Robin Laska, Assistant Coordinator, Archaeological Information Center for San Bernardino County Museum that indicates that no previously inventoried prehistoric, historic archaeological, historic cultural and ethnic resources are known to exist within or adjacent to the project, area. A & B 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 • Page 4 However, there is the occurrence potential for prehistoric and historic archaeological resources to exist within or adjacent to the project area. The correspondence from the San Bernardino County Museum indicates that the potential for the presence of prehistoric and historic archaeological resources is moderate and high, respectively, and potential for historic resources is moderate. The letter additionally states that the site has potential for buried prehistoric and historic archaeological resources associated with the roads and railroad shown on historic maps. In concert with the moderate to high occurrence potential for buried archaeological resource, a formal Cultural Resources Assessment by LSA Associates was performed. LSA Associates conducted a cultural records search, Native American Scoping and Field Survey for the project site to assess the potential for cultural resources greater than 50 years old. The project site has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources, and no previously recorded cultural resources were located within the project boundaries. The nearest cultural resource site is a historical residence and refuse site located approximately 120 feet southeast of the project site, southwest of the intersection of San Bernardino Road and Vineyard Avenue. A large archaeological site was recorded approximately 200 feet west of the project; and the John Rains House is approximately 600 feet northeast of the project, across Vineyard Avenue. LSA Associates conducted a records search at the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center (SBAIC) located in Redlands. Also, the California Historical Resources • Information System cultural resources maps were checked for possible prehistoric and historic resources previously recorded within '/2 mile of the project. Data from the SBAIC indicate that the project has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources and that no cultural resources were located within the project boundaries. The GLO map review did not indicate any former sites or historic buildings within the project boundary and shows the project area as part of the Rancho Cucamonga land grant. A pedestrian survey was also conducted of the project site by a qualified archaeologist. The survey was conducted by walking parallel transects spaced approximate 15 meters apart. Soil profiles were also examined. No cultural resources were observed during the field survey. On January 22, 2009, a letter was sent to Dave Singleton of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) requesting that a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search for the presence of Native American resources in the project vicinity be conducted. In a response letter dated January 23, 2009, the NAHC stated that the search of the SLF did not identify any known Native American resources in the immediate project area; however, the NAHC recommended 9 Native American groups/entities that may have knowledge of cultural resources in or near the project site be contacted. On January 26, 2009, LSA contacted each of these tribes/individuals. Two tribes responded to the requests for information. The Gabriel/Tongva tribe requested Native American monitoring of the site and that the tribe be kept informed on the project. The Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians responded and also requested to be kept informed about the project, and requested a Native American presence during ground disturbing activities. • According to the cultural resources assessment during the field survey, no cultural resources were recorded on the surface; however, ground visibility was approximately 45 percent. Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely A & B 4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 • HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 Page 5 affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. Due to the substantial number of prehistoric and historic sites in the area, the cultural resources report by LSA concludes that there is potential for subsurface resources, and a high potential for historic/prehistoric cultural resources to be identified during earth-disturbing activities. Per the recommendations in the cultural resources assessment, mitigation measures have been included in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist to ensure that impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level, including the requirement to retain a qualified archaeologist during grading operations, to monitor construction activities for any prehistoric archaeological resources, and take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. Further, if cultural resources are found during earthwork activities, the archaeological monitor shall have the authority to contact the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians and the Gabrielino/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians and inform them of the opportunity to monitor the project site during earthwork activity. 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 related to geological and soils, hazardous waste and materials, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, noise and air quality, 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. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS: The applicant and the Planning staff conducted 3 separate neighborhood meetings to present the initial project, answer questions and present revised drawings at neighborhood meetings 2 and 3. As a result of the volume of comments, questions and follow-up that occurred at each meeting, a summary of each meeting and the issues that were raised is indicated below. Neighborhood Meeting #1: The first neighborhood meeting was held on February 23, 2010, at Lions Center West at 6:30 p.m. The meeting lasted approximately 2 hours, and approximately 15-17 residents attended. The residents concerns are summarized, followed by a response from either the Planning staff or the applicant as noted. • Issue: Concern over adequate water supply to serve the project. Staff: CVWD indicates it has adequate water supplies to service the project, and the applicant has obtained a will-serve letter from CVWD. • Issue: Concern over the current amount of abandoned and foreclosed projects. Applicant: The applicant stated affirmatively that the property owner has the financial resources to complete the project. Additionally, since 2010, the City has taken steps to correct the nuisance impacts of foreclosed properties by requiring maintenance. • Issue: The historic bridge provides shelter for homeless and some undesirable uses. • Staff: Staff consulted with the police and the police indicated that the historic bridge does not currently harbor an unusual amount of homeless individuals, crime or nuisance activity. The police indicated that development of the site would probably abate any undesirable activity. A & B 5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 • Page 6 • Issue: The project will not have adequate onsite guest parking. Staff: The Development Code requires guest parking at the following ratio: 1 stall per 4 units. The applicant has provided 10 open parking stalls, exceeding the minimum standard. In addition, all units will have a two-car garage. • Issue: The market is over-saturated with residential condo product, and the City does not need additional condominium product. Staff: It is up to the private side to determine current market conditions and the absorption rate of residential condos. • Issue: Re-locate tot lots and barbeque area. Applicant: The applicant's design team will study the site to see if an alternate area is feasible. • Issue: Consideration should be given to building single-family dwelling units. Staff: The property is zoned Medium Residential, which is designed for multi-family units. In addition, the parcel configuration and surrounding area is better-suited for multi-family dwelling units. • Issue: There will be a loss of privacy from views from second-story condos into existing single-family dwelling units Applicant: The project will have trees planted along the perimeter of the units that are adjacent to the existing single-family dwelling units. In time, the trees will mature and provide an attractive screen. The trees will be planted as closely as good landscape design practices permit. • Issue: Two-story units are not appropriate adjacent to single-story, single-family • residential. Applicant: The design team will study this issue further. Neighborhood Meeting #2: Given the number of issues and concerns raised by the neighbors and surrounding residents, the Planning staff required a second neighborhood meeting be conducted for the applicant to respond to the issues. The second neighborhood meeting was scheduled on 8:30 .m. in the Little Bi July 7, 2010, from 6:30 p.m. to g Horn room at Central Park; 22 residents attended the meeting. The applicant made a presentation to the residents, noting that the following changes to the project had been made: 1. Units 12 and 13, which are closest to the existing single-family dwelling unit, were modified to be single-story product. 2. The applicant increased the guest parking from 10 stalls to 13 stalls, which is 1:1 ratio of unit to guest stall, far exceeding the Development Code's requirements. Following the applicant's presentation, several residents reiterated the following concerns: • Two story-product is not a good fit, and single-story product should be considered in order to be compatible and ensure the privacy of the adjacent single-story, single-family dwelling units. • More parking stalls are still needed. • The tot lot and barbeque area should be re-located. • • The project is an economic risk in this current market and residents do not want an abandoned project as a result of insufficient capital. A & B 6 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 • HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 Page 7 Residents also raised the following new issues. Following are the issues and a response from either staff or the applicant: • Issue: The applicant should consider eliminating one unit in order to create more parking. Applicant: The project has a 1:1 unit to guest parking ratio, and the project density is at 8 units to the acre, which is at the lowest end of the permitted density range (8-11 units/acre). • Issue: Utilize dense landscape to provide a buffer around the perimeter adjacent to the single-family dwelling units. Applicant: The project perimeter will be planted with trees that will form a screen as the trees mature. • Issue: The existing, concrete bridge under the Pacific Electric Trail should be sealed off from both sides and filled with dirt. Staff: The existing concrete bridge is a historic structure and filling it with dirt at this time is not permitted. • Issue: The project contains the vacation of Carnelian Street. The residents requested the history on the vacation of this street within the project, and if the developer benefitted directly from the vacation. Staff: Please refer to the detailed discussion in this Staff Report labeled Vacation of Carnelian Street. • • Issue: The developer should provide a direct link from the project to the Pacific Electric Trail. Staff: The elevation of the Pacific Electric Trail and slopes, which are greater than 1:1, do not permit a direct connection to the trail. The Engineering Department will not approve a direct connection because of the steep grades and unsafe conditions. Neighborhood Meeting #3: As a result of the lengthy discussions and input from the residents at the second neighborhood meeting, a third neighborhood meeting was held on January 11, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Lions Center East. At the third neighborhood meeting the applicant made a Powerpoint Presentation highlighting the following revision to the project: 1. Units 8-13 are single-story units in order to mimic the scale of the adjacent single-family dwelling units. The project will be comprised of 7 two-story units and 6 one-story units. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Based upon input from the residents and property owners, the applicant has made the following 2 significant revisions to the project: 1) the 13-unit project was modified from all two-story product to nearly a 50/50 mix of one-story (units 8-13) and two-story product, with all of the single-story product plotted nearest the existing single-story, single-family dwelling units that front on San Bernardino Road; and 2) the guest parking has been increased from 10 stalls to 13 stalls, a 1:1 stall to unit ratio. Where changes to the project were not viable, the applicant outlined the reasons behind the market-based decision or the project design. Planning staff answered as many questions from the residents as possible regarding site development requirements for multi-family projects and the rationale behind • these requirements. One resident noted that the nearby Red Hill area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans, and asked several detailed questions regarding the possibility of archaeological resources being located, excavation and earthwork procedures and mitigation measures that would be included to ensure the collection of archaeological resources. Planning staff discussed in detail the CEQA process with the resident, the cultural resources study that was A & B 7 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510 HOME AND LAND, LLC April 11, 2012 • Page 8 conducted and the corresponding mitigation measures. A detailed summary of the occurrence potential for archeological resources is located above in the Environmental Assessment Section of this Staff Report. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts and approve Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510, Development Review DRC2005-00044 through the adoption of the attached Resolutions with conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044 - HOME & LAND LLC - The design review of building elevations and detailed Site Plan for 13 condominium units on 2.12 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre), located on the north side of San Bernardino Road, west of Vineyard Avenue - APN: 0207-091-56 and 57 and 0207-101-48. Related files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510, Minor Exception DRC2009-00913, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2009-00914. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Project Site and Surrounding Environs: The site is located at the westerly terminus of San Bernardino Road and is characterized by commercial development to the south and multi-family dwelling units, single-family residential dwelling units to the east, the Cucamonga Creek concrete channel to the west, • and the Pacific Electric Hiking/Biking Trail to the north. To the south, across San Bernardino Road, is a neighborhood shopping center, with Albertsons as the anchor store. To the east, immediately adjacent to the project site, are two single-family dwelling units. Background: The proposed project has generated a substantial amount of public comment and inquiries from the residents in the surrounding area. As a result of the public interest and per Planning Commission policy direction, the applicant has conducted three neighborhood meetings to elicit feedback, present drawings, conduct a Powerpoint presentation, and explain the design concept. As a result of the neighborhood meetings, the applicant has made the following two major revisions to the project: 1) the 13-unit project was modified from all two-story product to nearly a 50/50 mix of one-story (Units 8 to 13) and two-story product (Units 1 to 7), with all of the single-story product plotted nearest the existing single-story, single-family dwelling units that front on San Bernardino Road; and 2) the guest parking has been increased from 10 stalls to 13 stalls, a 1:1 stall to unit ratio. Carnelian Street Vacation: The project site is comprised of three parcels that total 2.12 (gross) acres of land. On January 13, 2010, the Engineering Department recommended that the Planning Commission make a finding through minute action to vacate a portion of unimproved Carnelian Street right-of-way that is located between the parcels. Utility companies, other agencies, and various City departments were notified of the proposed vacation and were asked for comments; no objections to the vacations were received. The vacation is consistent with the General Plan and Development Code because the right-of-way is not required for street, highways, and related purposes anymore and will become part of Lot of A of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510. Section 8334 of the Street and Highways Code states that local agencies may summarily vacate (by resolution) if an excess right-of-way of a street or highway is no longer required for street and highway purposes. On February 17, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 10-027, thereby vacating said portion of Carnelian Street. • EXHIBIT G A & B 21 DRC ACTION AGENDA • SUBTT16510 AND DRC2005-00044 — HOME & LAND LLC March 6, 2012 Page 2 Design Parameters and Architectural Theme: The applicant is proposing to construct 13 residential condominiums for sale. There are no structures on-site that will require demolition, only a section of a retaining wall. The 2.12-acre site is comprised of three parcels. As noted above, east of the project site are two single-family dwelling units; to the south is a commercial shopping center; to the west is the Cucamonga Creek Channel; and to the north is the Pacific Electric Hiking and Biking Trail. The 2.12-acre site has gentle slopes and will require the removal of two trees that are in the way of proposed site improvements. None of the trees proposed for removal are considered significant by the consulting arbonst. The project will consist of 7, two-story units and 6, one-story units. All units have a two-car garage and private yard area. The architectural theme draws heavily from the Craftsman Bungalow style, utilizing wood siding, battered window surrounds, decorative garage doors, and appropriate fenestration selections. Square footages range from 1,269 to 1,955. All elevations exhibit a 360-degree architecture. Minor Exception: The project includes an application for a Minor Exception (DRC2009-00913) to allow up to 8-foot wall heights for sound attenuation purposes and 8-foot combination retaining/freestanding wall heights for grade differential purposes. A 6 to 8-foot high split-face wall will be constructed around the perimeter of the project. Site Planning and Amenities: The project entry point has been designed with a planter wall that will flank the entrance. All single-story product (Units 8 to 13) has been plotted adjacent to the existing • single-family dwelling units in order to preserve privacy and be sensitive to the massing and scale of the adjacent existing single-story houses. . The project includes a tot lot, grass area, and barbeque area as amenities, thereby meeting the three amenity requirement. The project has a total of 13 open parking stalls, thereby providing a 1:1 unit to guest stall parking ratio. The Development Code requires one stall per 4 units; as a result, the project is providing a total of 3 parking spaces per unit (2 car garage plus one stall per unit). Direct access to the Pacific Electric Hiking/Biking Trail is not feasible because of grade differences and slope conditions. Residents will be required to access the trail from Carnelian Street. Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510: Concurrent with the Development Review entitlement, the applicant has applied for a subdivision of air space in order to create 13 residential condominiums. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. No Major Issues. The applicant has worked diligently with staff to resolve all Major Issues. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Battered pilasters with decorative cap should be utilized along the perimeter walls for the San Bernardino Road and Vineyard Avenue street frontages at the ends of the walls and where the walls change in direction. Battered pilasters should also be used at the planter wall that fronts San Bernardino Road. • A & B22 • DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT16510 AND DRC2005-00044 — HOME & LAND LLC March 6, 2012 Page 3 Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. No wood fencing is allowed. Construct block walls between the homes (i.e. along interior side and rear property line) for permanence, durability, and design consistency. 2. Access gates to rear yards should be constructed of a material more durable than wood. Acceptable materials include, but are not limited to, wrought iron and PVC. 3. All interior private yard slopes are required to be landscaped with ground cover, shrubs, and one tree per 150 square feet of area. Staff Recommendation: With the Secondary Issue resolved to the satisfaction of the Committee, staff recommends that the Design Review recommend approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16510 and Development Review DRC2005-00044 to the Planning Commission. Design Review Committee Action: The Design Review Committee reviewed and approved the project with the following condition: 1. Battered pilasters with decorative cap shall be utilized along the perimeter walls for the San Bernardino Road and Vineyard Avenue street frontages at the ends of the walls and where the walls change in direction. Battered pilasters shall also be used at the planter wall that fronts San Bernardino Road. Members Present: Howdyshell, Wimberly, Troyer Staff Planner: Donald Granger • A & B23 • Feburary 23, 2010 The meeting was held in February 23, 2010 at Lion Park West Community Center. Charles Liu, project coordinator of Home and Land LLC, Chieh Yeh, the project architect, and Jack Lee, the project's engineering consultant represented Home and Land LLC. at the meeting. Mr. Donald Granger, the project's planner presented at the meeting, 17 residents attended the meeting. Some of the concerns raised by the residents were the city is in heavy drought, will the project have a detrimental impact to the city's water supply? The team's answer for that question was that the project has already acquired a will-serve letter from the Rancho Cucamonga Water District. Another question brought up by a resident was he knows that the project located on foothill blvd. within close proximity to this project, is currently suspended from any construction due to lack of funding. The resident thus questioned how Home and Land LLC can ensured to have sufficient fund to complete this project during this economic depression. The team's answer was that our project is much smaller in scale compared to the foothill project, in addition, we have multiple owners and a reliable source of loan to ensure this project can be built out according to plan. One of the resident also asked if the project has provided enough parking spaces for the future residents. The team responded that the proposed project's parking to unit ratio is10 spaces to 13 units, this number is considered very high compared to any condominium project here in the region. Another resident who lives next door to the project felt that the second-story units located directly adjacent to his house have invaded his privacy. The team's answer to that question was we felt that the project has provided adequate distance between the proposed units and its immediate • neighbor's backyard. Another question from the resident was that the proposed project does not fit the characters of the existing building fabric. The team's respond to that concern was that the proposed design has already considered the existing building character of the neighborhood, the style that we proposed at the meeting was generated through several rounds of discussions and revisions with city's planning department. Another question asked by a resident was how would community members access the recreational trail located north of the project site. The answer to that question was since Home and Land LLC does not own the land that is currently used to accessing the trail, so we do not have any authority to take on any action with the use of that strip of land. One resident commented on once the project is completed, the space that is underneath the trail bridge would become a dead space. She is afraid that the space would become a potential place for illegal activities. The team's answer to her concern was the reason that the project is completely sealed off from the bridge was asked by the city's engineering department due to safety concern, and whether or not the bridge is sealed off from the other side is out of our control. • EXHIBIT H A & B24 July 7, 2010 On July 7`h, 2010, the second neighborhood meeting was held at Central Park Center. • Charles Liu, the project coordinator of Home and Land LLC. and Chieh Yeh, the project's architect attended the meeting for Home and Land. Mr.'Donald Granger, the project planner as well as 22 community members also attended the meeting. Based on the comments gathered from the previous meeting held on February 23rd 2010, the team decided to revise the proposed design according to some of the comments made by the general public. Regarding to one of the comments made by an adjacent neighbor about privacy issue, the new design replaced the two units closest to his house from two-stories to single-story. Another comment addressed by the new design was that some of the residents felt the project does not provided adequate parking spaces, the team decided to increase parking from the previous 10 spaces to 13 spaces, this change allowed the proposed project to have a parking to unit ratio of 1:1, which is considered to be very high in any condominium development. The team presented the revised design to the residents. The comments received from the residents were similar to the previous meeting. Some of the residents commented that the privacy concern is still there, they felt that the other two-story units that still remaining on the site are still invading the surrounding neighbor's privacy. Comments also made on the new parking spaces, some residents felt that the parking spaces are still insufficient considering there are no extra parking spaces available on San Bernardino Rd. Other comments made were some residents questioning the financial capability of Home and Land, whether or not the company can build this project according to the plan. Other comments were what to do with the space underneath the bridge and the existing connection to the trail. The team again addressed the issue that • because Home and Land does not own any property outside of the project site, therefore, the company does not have any jurisdiction on those lands. Mr. Donald Granger then addressed some of the concerns about the trail and the space underneath the bridge from the city's perspective. • A & B25 Mr 51 ENVIRONMENTAL r: INFORMATION FORM 'fir 1 • (Part I - Initial Study) Crty of Rancho Cucamonga (Please type or print clearly using ink.

Comments: a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located at the westerly terminus of San Bernardino Road and is characterized by commercial development to the south, residential dwelling units to the east, the Cucamonga Creek concrete channel to the west, and the Pacific Electric Trail to the north. There are approximately 209 acres of Farmland of Local Importance, Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance • within the City of Rancho Cucamonga according to General Plan Table RC-2. Concentrations of Important Farmland are sparsely located in the southern and eastern parts of the City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Farmland in the southern portion of the City is characterized by industrial, residential, and commercial land uses, and Farmland in the eastern portion of the City is within the Etiwanda area and planned for development. Further, a large number of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan FPEIR identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City. C) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that is zoned as forest land or timberland. Therefore, no impacts would occur related to the conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. No mitigation is required. d) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land or timberland. Therefore, no impacts would occur related of the loss or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. • e) The site is located at the westerly terminus of San Bernardino Road and is characterized by commercial development to the south, residential dwelling units to the east, the Cucamonga Creek concrete channel to the west, and the Pacific Electric Trail to the north.

Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? G) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) • concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) number of people? Comments: a) As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.3), the proposed project would not interfere with the ability of the region to comply with Federal and State air quality standards for Criterion 1 Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations (local air quality impacts) or Criterion 2 Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP (consistency with the 2003 AQMP). Therefore, the project is consistent with the 2003 AQMP and is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. 11b) Air Quality Analysis Both the State of California and the Federal government have established health-based ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants. These pollutants include ozone (03), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (Nc2), sulfur dioxide (S02), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less Particulate Matter (PM,o), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PMZ,S) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PMZ.S) are considered regional pollutants while the others have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (1-12S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a reasonable margin of safety. The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under • the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage Rev. 11/2010 A & B 41 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 7 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: potentially Win Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Im acl Incor oratetl Im act Impaq transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this include motor vehicles at an intersection, a mall, and on highways. The SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within the jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from motor vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB). The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions from the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air pollution problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion (increasing temperature with increasing altitude). this inversion (coupled with low wind speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the ground. Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970, the EPA established national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants: ozone (03), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (S02), and lead. Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or • "non-attainment" depending on whether the regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Non-attainment areas have additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) responsible for ensuring the compliance of the Basin with the CAA. The South Coast Air Basin is in Non-Attainment Status for Ozone, PM,o and Plvi Specific criteria for determining whether the potential air quality impacts of a project are significant are set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The criteria include daily emissions thresholds, compliance with State and national air quality standards, and consistency with the current AQMP. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an air impact study was prepared by LSA Associates (January 2011) that utilizes the Urban Emissions Model URBEMIS 2007 Version 9.2.4 methodology and CEQA Air Quality Handbook, April 1993 to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds (Table F), long-term operational emissions (Table G), operation emissions for localized significant thresholds (Table H). Modeled air quality levels are based upon the default Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation factor (ITE Trip Generation Rate Manual, 7th Edition) included in the URBEMIS 2007 model (California Air Resources Board). The air quality study was prepared in conformance with appropriate standards, utilizing procedures and methodologies in the SCAQMD California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Air Quality Handbook. Short-Term Construction Emissions and Short Term Construction Emissions with Localized Significant Thresholds, Long-Term Operational Emissions and Operation Emissions for Localized Significant Thresholds are shown in Tables F, G and H respectively. Tables F, G and H indicate that all emission levels are below significant thresholds. • Rev. 11/2010 A & B42 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 8 L...Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than PP g Significant Mitigation slghtrcant No Impact Incorporated Impact Im act Table F: Short-Term Construction Emissions (with LST thresholds) Pollutant Emissions (Ibs/day) Phase CO ROCs NOx S02 PMtg I PM2,5 CO2 Mass Grading 15 3.4 28 0.0013 2.5 1.5 2,400 Fine Grading 15 3.4 28 0.0013 2.5 1.5 2,400 Trenching 9.7 2.4 20 0.0013 1 0.92 1,800 Paving 9.4 2.4 14 0.0026 1.2 1.1 1,200 Building 6.5 1.5 11 0.0018 0.69 0.63 1,100 Coating 0.067 1.3 0.004 0.000077 0.0006 0.0003 7 SCAQMD Thresholds 550 75 100 150 150 55 Significant Emissions?

LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project that will not cause or contribute to exceeding one of the most stringent Federal or State ambient air quality standards at the nearest receptor. LSTs are set based on ambient concentrations in the project area and the distance to the closest sensitive receptors. Localized construction impacts were not analyzed in the City's General Plan EIR. The URBEMIS 2007 focused air quality impact study by LSA Associates (January 2011) includes a localized analysis. Local construction emissions are shown above in Table F, and long-term operational impacts and long-term operational using the localized thresholds are shown in Tables G and H, respectively. As Tables F and H illustrate, the emissions associated with the construction and operation of the project are below the localized significant thresholds.

The project is expected to create daily construction emissions that are less than the daily emissions thresholds established by the SCAQMD. In summary, the construction and operational emissions of the project are below regional and localized significance thresholds for construction and operational impacts for criteria pollutants as indicated in Tables F, G, and H. The full text and citation of the URBEMIS 2007 focused air quality study can be referenced at the end of the Initial Study Part II. Fugitive Dust Fugitive dust emissions are generally emissions associated with land clearing and exposure of soils to the air and wind, and cut-and-fill grading operations. Dust generated during construction varies substantially on a project-by project basis, depending on the level of activity, the specific operation, and weather conditions at the time of construction. Construction emissions can vary greatly depending on the level of activity, the specific operations taking place, the equipment being operated, local soils, weather conditions and other factors. The proposed project will be required to comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 to control fugitive dust. Architectural Coatings • Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCs and are part of the 03 precursors. There will be residential building proposed for the project. Based on the Rev. 11/2010 A & B44 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 10 ess Than • Significant Leas Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Fmenliaoy wuh Than PP 9 Signifcanl Mtigavon Significant No th,p Impact Incomoraletl Impacl Imoaq proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed buildings will result in approximately 32 lbs. of VOC per day during the coating phase. The emissions would occur after grading activities, near the end of the construction period. Therefore, this VOC emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 Ibs/day. Emissions associated with architectural coatings could be reduced by using pre-coated/natural-colored building materials, using water-based or low-VOC coating, and using coating transfer or spray equipment with high transfer efficiency. For example, a high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) spray method is a coating application system operated at air pressure between 0.1 and 10 pounds per square inch gauge (psig), with 65 percent transfer efficiency. Manual applications such as paintbrush, and roller trowel, spatula, dauber, rag, or sponge have 100 percent transfer efficiency. Odors Heavy-duty equipment in the project area during construction would emit odors. However, the construction activity would cease to occur after individual construction is completed. No other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project, and no mitigation measures are required. In compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 the proposed uses are not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. Therefore, objectionable odors posing a health risk to potential on-site and existing off-site uses would not occur as a result of the proposed project. • Naturally Occurring Asbestos The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County, and it is not among the counties that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition, there has been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the potential risk for naturally occurring asbestors (NOA) during project construction is small and less-than-significant. CO Hot Spot Analysis Typically, high carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations are associated with roadways or intersections operating at unacceptable levels of service or with extremely high traffic volumes. The project would generate up to 90 vehicle trips, and when distributed to adjacent street segments and intersections, project-related vehicle trips would be small compared to the existing and future traffic volumes in the project vicinity. Ambient CO concentrations in the project vicinity are low compared to both the 1-hour and 8-hour State CO standards. Ambient CO levels monitored at the Upland Station, the closest station with complete monitored CO data, showed a highest recorded 1-hour concentration of 2.4 ppm (State standard is 20 ppm) and a highest 8-hour concentration of 1.6 ppm (State standard is 9 ppm). Because of the small number of project-related trips in the project vicinity, the proposed project would contribute at most a 0.1 ppm increase in the 1-hour and 8-hour CO concentrations at the intersections in the project vicinity. No CO exceedance would occur as a result of the proposed project. Because no CO hot spots would occur, the proposed project would not have a significant impact on local air quality for CO and no mitigation is required. • Rev. 11/2010 A & B45 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 11 • Less Than Sghft.ht Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than PP 9 Sitmp..ti Incorporated Sgnp.d pa Im acl Inca oratetl Imoad impact 2010 General Plan FPEIR Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation Measures Short-Term (Construction) Emissions: Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. They then transfer to a different site where the process begins again. Therefore, the emissions associated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho Cucamonga area and would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing air quality in the region. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a project-specific basis; as indicated in Tables F, G and H above, all are below significant thresholds. Even though the construction emissions will be less than regional and localized standards, the project will be conditioned to implement the following mitigation measures in order to comply with the City's General Plan FPEIR and to further reduce actual emissions: • 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any Grading Permits, the developer shall submit construction plans to City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD) as well as City Planning Staff. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions: • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and • watering. • Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.

Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. • Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. • Reduce traffic speeds on all unpaved roads to 15 mph or less. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB]) daily to . reduce PM10 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,o emissions. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. 10) Projects shall be developed under the adopted 2010 General Plan Update implementing the following measures, derived from the SCAQMD's AQMP, where feasible, in order to reduce criteria air pollutant emissions, primarily related to vehicular travel and energy. Potential measures for consideration in future projects include: • Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. • Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle services. • Schedule truck deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours. • Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with automated time clocks or occupant sensors. • Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water • consumption and to provide passive solar benefits.

Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS 2007) estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (03), and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance; therefore, all would be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. Long-Term (Operational) Emissions: In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS 2007 model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan FPEIR; therefore, all would be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. Even though the project's operational emissions will be less than regional and localized standards, the project will be conditioned to implement the following mitigation measures in order to comply with the City's General Plan FPEIR and to further reduce actual emissions: 11) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-efficiencyllow-po[luting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water • heaters. 12) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate thermal pane windows and weather-stripping. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.3). C) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 4.3), continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. See also discussion and mitigation measures under b) above. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the fallowing as sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within 1/4 mile of a sensitive receptor(existing residences). Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Rancho Cucamonga General 2010 Plan. During construction, there is the • possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under b) above and the following mitigation measure will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels. Rev. 11/2010 A & B48 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 14 Less Than • Significant Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Min Than PP 9 SgnKcant Mitigation Sgndicant No M act Incur orated Impact Impact 13). All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445, Wood Burning Devices. Rule 445 was adopted in March 2008 to reduce emissions of PM2.5 and precludes the installation of indoor or outdoor wood burning devices (i.e. fireplaces/hearths) in new development on or after March 9, 2009. e) Construction odors (short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use, including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and would dissipate rapidly. Operation Odors (long-term) are typically not associated with the type of use (residential units). Common odors from residential uses would be cooking and gardening, which are of no impact. Local odors from the proposed residential condos would be similar to adjacent residential uses and would not be considered significant. Further, residential condominium units typically do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish • and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? C) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Comments: • a) The project site is located in an area developed with commercial uses to the south and residential uses to the east. The site has been previously disrupted during construction of Rev. 11/2010 A & B49 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 15 • Less Than Signficenl Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than PP 9 signf itra Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Inn ad infrastructure (retaining wall for drainage purposes). According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the project will not have any impacts. C) No wetland habitat is present on-site. As a result, project implementation would have no impact on these resources. d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous natural open space areas. Wildlife may potentially move through the north/south trending tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere-of-Influence (SOI). The City is required to acquire and/or protect open space areas that provide strategic wildlife corridors to vital habitat areas. Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There are two trees on-site (Iron Bark Eucalyptus) that qualify as Heritage trees that are proposed for removal. The two trees are proposed to be removed with the project as they • are in conflict with various site improvements. The applicant has submitted an application for a Tree Removal Permit and the trees were evaluated by an arborist. The arborist determined that the trees are in fair condition and have been topped in previous years. The overall health of both trees is fair. Neither one of the trees is a prime specimen or represents a rare species that warrants relocation. With the planting of the required trees by the Development Code throughout the project at a ratio of 45 trees per acre (1.66-acre site), the removal of two trees that are in conflict with required improvements is considered to be a less-than-significant impact. Therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with any local ordinance. f) Neither the City nor the SOI are within an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved State Habitat Conservation Plan area. The project site is not located within a local conservation area according to the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Figure RC-1. No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES.

In accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Environmental Guidelines and practices, the City contacted the San Bernardino County Museum and requested that a records search be performed in order to ascertain the occurrence potential for archaeological, historic or cultural resources. Planning staff received correspondence from Ms. Robin Laska, Assistant Coordinator, Archaeological Information Center for San Bernardino County Museum that indicates that no previously inventoried prehistoric, historic archaeological, historic cultural and ethnic resources are known to exist within or adjacent to the project area. However, there is the occurrence potential for prehistoric and historic archaeological resources to exist within or adjacent to the project area. The correspondence from the San Bernardino County Museum indicates that the potential for the presence of prehistoric and historic archaeological resources is moderate and high, respectively, and potential for historic resources is moderate. The letter additionally states that the site has potential for buried prehistoric and historic archaeological resources associated with the roads and railroad shown on historic maps. In concert with the • moderate to high occurrence potential for buried archaeological resource, a formal Cultural Resources Assessment by LSA Associates (January 2011) was performed. LSA Associates conducted a cultural records search, Native American Scoping and field survey for project site to assess the potential for cultural resources greater than 50 years old. The project site has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources, and no previously recorded cultural resources were located within the project boundaries. The nearest cultural resource site is a historical residence and refuse site located approximately 120 feet southeast of the project site, southwest of the intersection of San Bernardino Road and Vineyard Avenue. A large archaeological site was recorded approximately 200 feet west of the project; and the John Rains House is approximately 600 feet northeast of the project, across Vineyard Avenue. LSA associates conducted a records search at the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center (SBAIC) located in Redlands. Also, the California Historical Resources Information System cultural resources maps were checked for possible prehistoric and historic resources previously recorded within 1/2 mile of the project. Data from the SBAIC indicates that the project has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources and that no cultural resources were located within the project boundaries. The GLO map review did not indicate any former sites or historic buildings within the project boundary and shows the project area as part of the Rancho Cucamonga land grant. A pedestrian survery was also conducted of the project site by a qualified archaeologist. The survey was conducted by walking parallel transects spaced approximate 15 meters apart. Soil profiles were also examined. No cultural resources were observed during the Feld survey. • On January 22, 2009, a letter was sent to Dave Singleton of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) requesting that a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search for the presence Rev. 11/2010 A & B 51 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 17 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Sgn @Kant Mitigation Sgn9cant No Un act Incorporated Impact Impact of Native American resources in the project vicinity be conducted. In a response letter dated January 23, 2009, the NAHC stated that the search of the SLF did not identify any known Native American resources in the immediate project area; however, the NAHC recommended nine Native American groups/entities that may have knowledge of cultural resources in or near the project site be contacted. On January 26, 2009, LSA contacted each of these tribes/individuals. Two tribes responded to the requests for information. The Gabriel/Tongva tribe requested Native American monitoring of the site and that the tribe be kept informed on the project. The Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians responded and also requested to be kept informed about the project and requested a Native American presence during ground disturbing activities. According to the cultural resources assessment, during the field survey no cultural resources were recorded on the surface; however, ground visibility was approximately 45 percent. Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. Because of the substantial number of prehistoric and historic sites in the area, the cultural resources report by LSA concludes that there is potential for subsurface resources, and a high potential for historic/prehistoric cultural resources to be identified . during earth-disturbing activities. Per the recommendations in the cultural resources assessment, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented and will reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level: • 1) During grading operations, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities for any prehistoric archaeological resources, and take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The archaeological monitor shall have the authority to temporarily divert construction traffic to assess the significance of cultural resources, if found, and make recommendations to the City. As discussed on Page 6 and in Appendix B for the Cultural Resources Assessment by LSA Associates dated January 11, 2011, if cultural resources are found during earthwork activities, the archaeological monitor shall have the authority to contact the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians and the GabrielinolTongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians and inform them of the opportunity to monitor the project site during earthwork activity. 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. • Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of the area. • Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources,following appropriate CEQA guidelines. • • Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area.

C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial fan. According to the research performed at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the Sphere-of-Influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per the Public Safety Element of the General Plan, therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 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. d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The project site has already been disrupted by previous earthmoving activities (LSA Cultural Resources Assessment [January 2011]). No known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are discovered on-site. No • adverse impacts are anticipated.

Comments: a) The project site is located at the border of the Special Studies Zone for the Red Hill Fault and is possibly located within the buried/uncertain segment of the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2 and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. Although the fault is not zoned under the State of California Alquist-Priolo act, based upon current information within the City's General Plan, a geotechnical report for the Red Hill Fault was prepared for the project site by Cal Land Engineering, Inc./Quartech Consultants (January 2006). The report concluded that setbacks that would impact the footprint of the structures are not necessary. Published geologic maps suggest that the Red Hill fault is buried beneath the site. The purpose of the report was to ascertain if an active trace of the Red Hill fault crosses the subject site. The report notes that "seismic refraction lines did not show any noticeable off- set to the depths explored. Therefore, based on the findings of this investigation and the • continuous stratigraphy within the trenches we are not recommending any setbacks that would impact the footprint of the proposed structure." The report further states that the site "lacks evidence to support the presence of Holocene faulting within the exposed trenches at the site, and no landforms or geomorphic features of active faulting were observed to Rev. 11/2010 A & B54 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 20 Lasa Than • Sghd..nt Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially WO Than PP g Sgndicant Mllgation Signdkant No Impact Incorporated impact Impact traverse or project towards the subject site." Since the report was completed in 2006, the geotechnical engineer for the report submitted an updated letter(March 23, 2011) stating that the site lacks evidence to support the presence of Holocene faulting within excavated trenches, and the consulting geotechnical engineer does not recommend any setbacks that would impact the footprint of the proposed structures. As discussed above, published geologic maps suggest that the Red Hill fault is buried beneath the site, although trenching at the site did not produce evidence of Holocene faulting. The Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3.5 miles north of the project site. These faults are both capable of producing M,., 6.0 — 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto Fault, capable of producing up to Mµ,7.5 earthquakes is 9.5 miles northeasterly of the site, and the San Andreas Fault, capable of up to M„,8.2 earthquakes, is approximately 12 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are less-than-significant. b) The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within a designated Soil Erosion Control Area, Exhibit 4.7-4 of the General Plan FPEIR. The proposed project will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of • dust control; however, development of this project under the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM1g emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible. 2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM1g emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off- site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PMig emissions from the site during such episodes. 4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PMIg emissions. C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.7) indicates that there is a potential for the hillside areas at the northern end of the City and in the SOI for slope failure, landslides, and/or erosion. Areas subject to slope instability contain slopes of 30 percent or greater. Landslides may be induced by seismic activity, rain, or construction. The City Hillside Development Regulations prohibits the development within slopes of 30 percent or greater and limit the number of units that could be constructed within the Hillside Residential and • Very Low Density Residential designations in the Hillside areas.

Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) Regulations and Significance The Federal government began studying the phenomenon of global warming as early as 1979 with the National Climate Protection Act (92 Stat. 601). In June of 2005, the Governor's Office established California's Green House Gas (GHG) emissions reduction target in Executive Order (EO) S-3-05. The EO created goals to reduce (GHG) emissions • for the State of California to 2000 levels by 2010; GHG emissions reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; and GHG emissions reduced to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Additionally, on December 7, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Rev. 11/2010 A & B56 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 22 aaa rna • SignRcan, Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: amen,aiiy wnn rnan PP 9 SgnRirant Mitigation Sgnilianl No lm0em Inco ratetl Im act Im act issued findings regarding GHGs under rule 202(a) of the Clean Air Act: (1) that GHGs endanger human health; and (2) that this will be the first steps to regulating GHGs through the Federal Clean Air Act. The USEPA defines six key GHGs (carbon dioxide [COZ], methane [CHaj, nitrous oxide [NZOj, hydroflourocarbons [HFCs], perflourocarbons [PFCsj, and sulfur hexafluoride [SFJ The combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to GHG pollution. The western states, including Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, already experience hotter, drier climates. California is a substantial contributor of GHGs and is expected to see an increase of three to four degrees Fahrenheit (°F) over.the next century. Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in 1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of COZ equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main strategies for meeting the 2020 deadline. Significant progress can be made toward the 2020 goal through existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. Other solutions would include improving the State's infrastructure and transitioning to cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. The ARB estimates that 38 percent of the State's GHG emissions in 2004 was from • transportation sources followed by electricity generation (both in-State and out-of-State) at 28 percent and industrial at 20 percent. Residential and commercial activities account for 9 percent, agricultural uses at 6 percent, high global warming potential gases at 3 percent, and recycling and waste at 1 percent. It is not anticipated that any single development project would have a substantial effect on global climate change but that GHG emissions from the project would combine with emissions across California, the United States, and the world to cumulatively contribute to global climate change. Therefore, consistent with the ARB's Climate Change Scoping Plan, the proposed project evaluated for consistency with the Early Action Measures (Scoping Plan is a recommendation until adopted through normal rulemaking). The proposed project is assessed by determining its consistency with the 37 Recommended Actions identified by ARB. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 97 and CEQA, the project has been analyzed based on a performance based standard (CEQA 15064.4). Additionally, the ARB was directed through SB 375 to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved within the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035. SCAQMD and ARB maintain ambient air quality monitoring stations in the Basin. The stations closest to the project site are the Upland station and the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The Upland station monitors all criteria pollutant except PM,o, PM2.5, and SOz which are monitored at the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the project area for CO, NOZ, and SO2 is consistently below the relevant State and federal standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM,o, and PM2.5 levels all exceed State and federal standards regularly. • Rev. 11/2010 A & B57 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 23 • Less man Sipff.nt Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potontialq WRh Then PP g ma ouce Signtticanl Wigatlon Sgndicent No Im act Incorporated Im act Impact Proiect-Related Sources of GHG's Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered to have a significant effect on air quality if, the project would violate any ambient air quality standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead Agency. Global Warming/Global Climate Change Global climate change is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans with other significant changes in climate in recent decades. Climate change refers to any change in measures of weather (temperature, precipitation or wind) lasting for an extended period (decades or longer). The prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. The increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary causes of the human-induced • component of warming. CO2 and GHGs are released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, etc., and lead to an increase in the GHG effect. The observed warming effect associated with the presence of GHGs in the atmosphere (from either natural or human sources) is often referred to as the greenhouse effect. Although there are currently no adopted regulations to combat global climate change on a national level, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the EPA has the authority to regulate CO2 emissions under the CAA. The EPA is finalizing the first-ever national GHG emission standards under the CAA. GHGs are present in the atmosphere naturally, released by natural sources, or formed from secondary reactions taking place in the atmosphere. They include carbon dioxide (CO2). methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (NZO), Hydrofluorcarbons (HFCs), Perfluorcarbons (PFCs) and Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6). In the last 200 years, substantial quantities of GHGs have been released into the atmosphere. These extra emissions are increasing GHG concentrations in the atmosphere, enhancing the natural greenhouse effect, which is believed to be causing climate change/global warming. While man-made GHGs include CO2, methane and nitrous oxide, some (like HFCs, PFCs and SF6) are completely new to the atmosphere. These gases vary considerably in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), which is a concept developed to compare the ability of each GHG to trap heat in the atmosphere relative to another gas. The GWP of each gas is measured relative to COZ, the most abundant GHG. The Earth maintains a natural carbon balance, and when concentrations of CO2 are upset, the system gradually returns to its natural state through natural processes. Natural removal processes, such as photosynthesis by land and ocean-dwelling plant species, cannot keep pace with the extra input of CO2 from human activities. This is resulting in a build-up of CO2 gas. California is the second largest emitter of GHG in the United States, surpassed only by • Texas. GHG emissions from anthropogenic (human) activities represent 84 percent of the California's total GHG emissions. California's transportation sector is the single largest Rev. 11/2010 A & B58 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 24 Less Than • Sgnftant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentally wth Than Si9ndicant Mrtgation Sgndicanl No Impact Incogwratad Im ad Im act source of GHG emissions. Electricity generation was California's second largest category of GHG emissions. Assembly Bill (AB 32), the Global Warming Solutions Act, was passed by the California State Legislature on August 31, 2006. AB 32 requires that the State's global warming emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In June of 2005, the Governor's Office established California's GHG emissions reduction targets in Executive Order S-3-05. The Executive Order establishes the following goals: GHG emissions should be reduced to 2000 levels by 2010; GHG emissions should be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; and GHG emissions should be reduced to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. To address GHG emission and global climate change in General Plans and CEQA documents, Senate Bill 97 requires the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop CEQA guidelines on how to address global warming emissions and mitigate project-specific GHG. The Governor's Office of Planning and Research prepared, developed and transmitted these guidelines in May of 2009, and the Resources Agency certified and adopted them on December 30, 2009, The Guidelines became effective on March 18, 2010. SB 375, which was signed into law on October 1, 2008, provides emissions-reduction goals around which regions can plan, integrating disjointed planning activities, and provides incentives for local governments and developers to follow new conscientiously planned growth patterns. SB 375 enhances ARB's ability to reach AB 32 goals by • directing ARB to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved from the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035. ARB will also work with California's 18 metropolitan planning organizations to reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMTs) by working towards a sustainable community strategy by reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled. Currently, neither CEQA statues, OPR guidelines nor the draft proposed changes to CEQA Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the lead agency. On December 5, 2008, SCAQMD adopted an interim GHG threshold of significance for projects where it is the Lead Agency using a tiered approach for determining significance. The tiered approach consists of 5 levels of evaluation, with each project progressing through each tier until it qualifies for an exemption or meets the stated compliance threshold. The proposed project was evaluated for GHG emissions based on the following two inquiries: 1) would implementation of the project hinder attainment of the . State's goals of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, as stated in the Global Warming Solutions Act; and 2) would the incremental contribution of the project of GHGs be a cumulatively considerable contribution to GCC?. Table I indicates project greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, electricity production (includes water related energy use), natural gas combustion and energy related use for solid waste disposal. Total annual emissions for the project are 230 metric tons per year (mty), with vehicle trips comprising 155 metric tons (70 percent) of the total COZa emissions of the project. As shown in Table I, the total GHG emissions of 230 tons per year (tpy) is lower than the SCAQMD interim tiered GHG emissions threshold for residential projects of 3,500 tpy of CO2a, and would be below the 25,000 mty CO2e for residual emissions. When analyzed, project-related CO2 emissions and their contribution • to global climate change impacts in the State of California are less-than-significant and I less than cumulatively considerable because 1) the project's impacts alone and at a Rev. 11/2010 A & B59 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBM6510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 25 • Than Less Less wnl Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Wdh Than PP 9 Signdicanl Mbpaon Sgnftant No Impact Incorporated Itn act Im act cumulative level would not cause or significantly contribute to global climate change; and 2) adherence to mitigation measures listed below and the 2010 California Building Code (updated Title 24 Standards) will ensure compliance with reduction goals identified in AB 32.

Based on the Air Quality Analysis prepared by LSA Associates (January 2011), the project would result in the following emissions include carbon dioxide [CO21, methane [CH4], nitrous oxide [N201, and carbon dioxide equivalents. As seen in Table I Page 40 from the GHG analysis prepared by LSA Associates, the proposed project would result in a total of 160 MTCO2eq/yr from construction activities and 71 MTCO2eq/yr for area and stationary sources (electricity generation, natural gas combustion and solid waste disposal) and 160 MTCO2eq/yr for mobile sources (70 percent of projects total CO2a emissions). Total project related direct operation emission would result in 230 MTCO2eq/yr. Short-Term (Construction) GHG Emissions - The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.5) indicates that GHG emissions result from construction activities associated with diesel-powered construction equipment and other combustion sources (i.e. generators, worker vehicles, material delivery, etc.). The GHG emitted by construction equipment is primarily carbon dioxide (CO2). The highest levels of construction related GHG's occur during site preparation including demolition, grading and excavation. Construction related GHG's are also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction workers traveling to the job site. Exhaust emissions from construction activities would vary each day with the changes in construction activity on site. The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates GHG's such as CO2, CH,, and N20. CH, is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAWMD Rule 403 regarding fugitive • dust including treating the site with water or other soil-stabilizing agent twice daily or replanting disturbed areas as quickly as possible.

Long-Term (Operational) GHG's Emissions - The primary source of GHG emissions generated by the proposed project would be from motor vehicles, combustion of natural gas for space and water heating, as well as off-site GHG emissions from generation of electricity consumed by the proposed land use development over a long term. CEQA requires the Lead Agency to review the project for "adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure," to determine potential impacts of GHG's. Therefore, the project has been analyzed based on methodologies and information available to the City • at the time this document was prepared. Estimates are based on past performance and represent a scenario that is a worst case with the understanding that technology changes may reduce GHG emissions in the future. To date, there is no established quantified GHG emission threshold. The project involves the construction of 13 residential condominiums and, therefore, would result in an increase in the net increases of both stationary and mobile source emissions. The majority of energy consumption typically occurs during project operation (more than 80 percent operation and less than 20 percent during construction activities). The proposed project will incorporate several design features that are consistent with the California Office of the Attorney General's recommended measures to reduce GHG emissions. Please see list of Strategies and Project Compliance Measures below. The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the CARIB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. Strategies and Project Compliance Measures: Strategy: Energy Efficiency Measures Compliance Measure: The project will comply with updated Title 24 Standards, including 201 CA Building Code Strategy: Water Conservation and Efficiency Measures Compliance Measure: The project will comply with Minimization Measure GCC-1 Strategy: Solid Waste Reduction Measures • Compliance Measure: The project will comply with Minimization Measure GCC-1 Rev. 11/2010 A & B 61 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 27 • Less Than S,gndicant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: sgni em Mitgattiion s¢e�ant No Impact Incorpotratecl Iri Im ecl Strategy: Transportation and Motor Vehicle Measures Compliance Measure: Not applicable.

Strategy: Measures to Reduce High Global Warming Potential (GWP) Gases Compliance Measure: New products used on the project site would comply with ARB rules and regulations Additionally, the City is participating in the development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) with SANBAG for the San Bernardino County area pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 375. The long term operation emissions of the project will contribute to area pollutants but will not exceed any of the SCAQMD's thresholds. The proposed project would have less than a significant long term impact with the following mitigation measures: 7) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource • efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) materials. 8) Design all buildings to exceed California Building Code Title 24 energy standard including but not limited to any combination of: • Increased insulation • Limit air leakage through the structure • Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances • Landscape and developed site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and landscaping • Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems • Install light colored "cool" roofs and cool pavements • Install solar or light emitting diodes (LED's) for outdoor lighting. 9) Prepare a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the project and include the following; • Install water efficient landscapes and irrigation systems and devices in • compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Ordinance 823). Rev. 1112010 A & B62 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 28 Lass Than • Significant lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than PP 9 Significant Mitigalion Significant No Impact Ihoorponi Im ecl Impact • Use reclaimed water for landscaping within the project if available and/or install the infrastructure to deliver and use reclaimed water. • Design building to be water efficient by installing water efficient fixtures and appliances including low flow faucets, dual flush toilets and waterless urinals/water heaters. • Design irrigation to control runoff and to remove water to non-vegetated surfaces. 10) Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste. Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. The proposed project would result in a total of 71 MTCOZeq/yr for area and stationary sources (electricity generation, natural gas combustion and solid waste disposal) and 160 MTCOZeq/yr for mobile sources. The proposed project will result in 230 MTCO2eq/yr (total project emissions) of operational related emission without reduction from the project design features. AB 32 requires the reduction of GHG emissions to 1990 levels, which would require a minimum 28.5 percent reduction in "business as usual" GHG emissions for the entire state. b) The project proposes the construction of 13 residential condominium units. Other than the • regulations and requirements discussed under a) above, no other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update includes adopted policies and Standard Conditions that respond to the Attorney General and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). The General Plan policies and Standard Conditions guide infill and sustainable development reliant on pedestrian connections, re-use and rehabilitation of existing structures, link transportation opportunities, promote development that is sensitive to natural resources and incentivizes denser mixed use projects that maximizes divers opportunities. The proposed project includes water efficient landscaping that will meet City's water efficient Ordinance requirements (Ordinance 823 [AB18811) Additionally, the project will be required to comply with the California Green Building Code and Title 24, which will contribute to the reduction of GHGs; therefore, the project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly (AB) 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact. 8. HAZARDS AND WASTE MATERIALS. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of • hazardous materials into the environment?

Comments: a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and maintenance or activities that utilize paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers and motor oil. Additionally, construction activities would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease, and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are expected. b) The proposed project does not include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition that is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division, which is more comprehensive than any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials or volatile fuels will reduce the potential for significant • impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated. C) There are no schools located within 114 mile of the project site. The project site is located approximately 1/2 mile form the nearest school, an elementary school. Typically, the uses Rev. 11/2010 A & B64 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 30 Lass han • SignRicant T Lees Issues and Supporting Information Sources: amemiagy wnn Tan Slgnficant Miligat.n Signdicant No "p-1 Incorporated Impact Im pact proposed do not create objectionable odors.

The project site is not on the list of identified hazardous sites listed on Page 4.8-18 of the 2010 General Plan EIR. Further, recent site inspection did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated. e) The site is located within the LA/ONT Airport Influence Area (AIA), according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Although the project site is located within the LA/ONT AIA, the site is not located within a building height restriction area, according to Map 2-4 of the LA/ONT ALUCP that was adopted in March of 2011 by the City of Ontario. The site is subject is to building heights allowed under the standard FAA notification. The proposed project involves two-story residential condos, which are well under the FAA height limit for the project site as calculated under FAA Part 77. The project will be conditioned to notify buyers through a real estate transaction disclosure that the site is located in the LA/ONT Airport Influence Area. The site is over 2 miles from the noise and safety impact zones from airport operations at LA/ONT Airport. The impact to residential condos is considered less-than-significant from being located in the Airport Influence Area, as the site will not be affected by aircraft noise levels that exceed allowable levels or be within an area of potential safety impacts as indentified in the • LA/ONT ALUCP Maps 2-2 and 2-3. The following mitigation measure will be implemented: 1) The developer shall notify buyers through a real estate transaction disclosure that the site is located in the LA/ONT Airport Influence Area and that review of the LA/ONT ALUCP is available at the City of Ontario and City of Rancho Cucamonga. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 3.5 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. Development within the City of Rancho Cucamonga will not impact aircraft operations at Cable Airport, nor will aircraft operations at Cable impact affect development within Rancho Cucamonga. No impact is anticipated. g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and evacuation routes to the existing development. The new development will be located on a site that has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Since the project has one point of access, the Fire District is requiring that all condo units be constructed with fire sprinklers. Fire Sprinklers will be required as part of the Fire District's Standard Conditions. No adverse impacts are anticipated. h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from a wind-driven fire in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the proposed project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone • according to General Plan Figure PS-1.

( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD). The project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The State of California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES permit. The State Water • Resource Control Board (SWRCB) through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region, administers these permits. Rev. 11/2010 A & B66 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 32 Less Then • SignLCam Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: S,nff.xN wnh Than pp 9 Slgndicam MdRetion SgnMkenl No t act Incoraoratatl Im ecl knaap Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Permit, The General permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during construction activities, including site clearance and grading: • Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from moving off-site into receiving waters. • Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other waters of the nation. • Perform inspections of all BMPs. Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). To comply with the NPDES, the project construction contractor will be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) • during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post- construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP, prepared by (CAL LAND ENGINEERING, INC./November 2009), which identifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the drainage system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads and other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices, such as periodic parking lot sweeping, can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system. The impact is considered less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures would be required to control additional storm water effluent: Construction Activities: 1) Prior to issuance of Grading Permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the Building Official for approval, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities • are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of Rev. 11/2010 A & B67 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT'16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 33 • Lass Than Sipnilicanl less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than PP 9 Sigmlkant Milipalion Signdkanl No Impact Inca ra.d Impact Impact grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. 3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there is rainfall or other runoff. 4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site. Post- Construction Operational. 5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by (CAL LAND ENGINEERING, INC./November 2011) to reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. • 6) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of Grading Permits. b) According to Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD), approximately 35 percent of the City's water is currently provided from water supplies coming from the underlying Chino and Cucamonga Groundwater Basins. CVWD complies with its prescriptive water rights as managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster and will not deplete the local groundwater resource. The proposed project will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Figure RC-3. The development of the site will require the grading of the site and excavation; however, would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 300 to 470 feet below the ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.9), continued development citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact. CVWD has plans to meet this increased need to the year 2030. No impacts are anticipated. C) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, the project will not • result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered significant. Rev. 11/2010 A & B68 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 34 Less Than • SRnd.ant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wm Than PP 9 Signdkant MAgation Sgndrant No In = Incof2arated bn act 4noact d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river.

A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on-or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. e) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project will not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The project site is for new development (residential condos); therefore, it is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The • following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 7) Prior to issuance of Building Permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Building Official for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), including a project description and identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. 8) Prior to issuance of Grading or Paving Permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit. g) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. Additionally, the project will be required to construct required storm drain facilities or payment of fees for storm drain system improvements. No adverse impacts are expected. h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected. i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system • designed to adequately convey floodwaters from a 100-year storm event.

No adverse impacts are expected. j) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site; therefore impacts from seiche and tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City. 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING.

C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The site is located just west of Vineyard Avenue, on the north side of San Bernardino Road. The project area is characterized by commercial development to the south and single-family residential development to the east. To the west is the Cucamonga Creek channel, and to the north is the Pacific Electric Trail right-of-way that is presently being improved with a walking/hiking/bike trail. This project will provide a transition of density between the commercial development to the south and the single-family residential houses within Red Hill. The size, location, and shape of the parcel make it an ideal candidate for an infill, residential condo project. The project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is Medium Residential. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, SCAG's Compass Blueprint, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.10 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, the proposed residential condo development will not adversely affect rare or endangered • species of plants or animals since the project is surrounded by suburbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan.

Comments: a) The predominant rating scales for human communities in the State of California are the Leq and the Community Noise Level Equivalent (CNEL) or the day-night average level (Ldn) based on A-weighted decibels. CNEL is the time varying noise over a 24-hour period, with a 5-dBA weighting factor applied to the hourly Leq for noises occurring form 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (defined as relaxation hours) and 10-dBA weighting factor applied to noise occurring form 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. (defined as sleeping hours). Ldn is similar to CNEL scale, but.without the adjustment for events occurring during the evening hours. CNEL and Ldn are within 1 dBA of each other and are normally exchangeable. For Rev. 11/2010 A & B 71 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 37 • Less Than Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Y si wfihant man Polentiall Significant Mitigation Signifiwm ryp Impact Incorycraled Impact Impact Purposes of evaluating the impacts of sound on the proposed project, the Ldn noise scale for long-term noise impact assessment will be used. 60 dBA/Ldn is the City's exterior noise standard, and 45 dBA/Ldn is the City's interior standard. The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Figure PS-9 and within an area that will exceed City standards as projected in 2030, according to Figure PS-10. Because the project is subject to the noise levels from traffic on Vineyard Avenue that exceed the City's exterior standard of 60 dBA from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 45 dBA standard from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., an Exterior Noise Analysis was prepared by LSA Associates (January 2011). The sound study indicates that 60 dBA noise contours are projected to reach 267 feet from the centerline of Vineyard Avenue. The FHWA highway traffic noise prediction model was used to evaluate highway traffic-related noise conditions along Vineyard Avenue in the project vicinity. The noise impact analysis was conducted using the traffic volumes predicted for 2020 conditions on Vineyard Avenue adjacent to the project site. The sound study indicates that the closet units to Vineyard Avenue, Units 713 and 8C, would be exposed to sound levels of 68 dBA from traffic on Vineyard Avenue. The mitigation measures below will reduce the sound levels for the exterior areas (patios) to 60 dBA, thereby meeting the City's standard. Standard construction practices will provide 25 dBA of sound attenuation; therefore the units will meet City's 45 dBA interior noise • level (68 dBA—25dBA = 43 dBA). Mitigation measures listed below would reduce exterior and interior noise levels to less- than-significant levels: Exterior: - 1) An 8- foot high concrete masonry unit perimeter wall shall be constructed on the eastern perimeter of the project adjacent to units 713 and 8C, and a minimum 5-foot high concrete masonry unit wall shall be constructed around the remainder of the project perimeter in order to reduce exterior sound levels to 65 dBA/Ldn or lower. The sound walls shall be constructed in accordance with Figure 3 of the Noise Impact Analysis (January 2011) prepared by LSA Associates. Interior: 1) An air-conditioning system is required for the following dwelling units: 513, 6AV, 78, 8C, 9C 10D and 11E. b) Residential condos normally do not induce ground borne vibrations. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. The proposed residential condos will not significantly increase traffic; hence the residential condos are not anticipated to increase the ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the • project. Rev. 11/2010 A & 872 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 38 Lass Than • Spndlh Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pclanlu y ndc man Slgnftanl Mdigalion Sgnrticanl No Im act Inco eteE M act M act d) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will generate noise exceeding City standards. Further, the sound study by LSA Associates (January 2011) identifies construction related noise impacts as a potential adverse impact that requires mitigation. The study states that construction noise levels may range up to 91dBA at the closest residences adjacent to the property site for very limited times when construction occurs near the project's boundary. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts to a less-than-significant level: 1) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. 2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property line. Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be reduced in'intensity to a level of compliance • with above noise standards or halted. 3) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first phase. 4) During all project site excavation and grading on site, the project contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturer's standards. 5) The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the project site. 6) The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and noise sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction. 7) During all project site construction, the construction contractor shall limit all construction-related activities that would result in high noise levels to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site construction equipment; however, do not address the potential impacts because of the transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be required: 8) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and • 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a Rev. 11/2010 A & B73 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 39 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PoteWolly with Than Signlficanl Mitigation Significant No ImpaCl IncofOOfaled tmpant Imp.' national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. e) The LA/ONT Airport is located approximately 3.25 miles to the southeast. The site is located within the Airport Influence Area of the LA/ONT Airport. With regard to aircraft noise impacts, the jet landing patterns at LA/ONT Airport are oriented east to west. Occasional noise from aircraft operations can be heard in southern areas of the City; however, the project site is not located in the southern area of the City. The project site is located at the northern boundary of the Airport Influence Area, thereby making exposure to aircraft noise of less-than-significant to no impact (Map 2-1 of the LA/ONT ALUCP). Further, the impact to residential condos is considered less-than-significant from being located in the Airport Influence Area, as the site will not be affected by aircraft noise levels that exceed allowable levels as indentifed in the LA/ONT ALUCP Map 2-3. No impact is anticipated. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 3.5 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. Development within the City of Rancho Cucamonga will not impact aircraft operations at Cable Airport, nor will aircraft operations at Cable impact affect development within Rancho Cucamonga. • No noise impacts from operations at Cable Airport will impact the project. No impact is anticipated. 13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? C) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Comments: a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the construction of 13 multiple family homes. Although the project will increase the population growth in the area there will be a less-than-significant impact as the project is consistent with the underlying Zoning and General Plan Designation which density and was analyzed as part of the build out in the General Plan FPEIR. Construction activities at the site will be short- term and will not attract new employees to the area. No impacts are anticipated. b) The project site is currently vacant; no existing dwelling units will be demolished to accommodate the proposed project. Because the property is vacant there will be no • displacement of housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. Rev. 11/2010 A & B74 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 40 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Wtn Than pp g significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incomorated Impact Impact C) The project site is currently vacant; no existing dwelling units will be demolished to accommodate the proposed project. Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. 14. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? b) Police protection? C) Schools? O O O (1) d) Parks? O O O (1) e) Other public facilities? O O O (1/) Comments: a) The site, located at the terminus of San Bernardino Road just west of Vineyard Avenue, • would be served by a fire station located approximately 1 mile from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project to lessen the future demand and impacts to fire services. No impacts are anticipated. b) The increase in residential units may lead to an increase in calls for service. Although there may be an increase in calls, additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in the property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. C) The Central School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the project area. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the school impact fees. With this standard mitigation, impacts to the school districts are not considered significant. d) The site is in a developed area within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is located 1 mile from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities, alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the • construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities.

According to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.14), there will be a projected increase in library space demand but with the implementation of standard conditions the increase in Library Services would be mitigated to less-than-significant impact. Additionally, the Paul A. Blare Library has an additional 14,000 square foot shell of vacant library space that is planned for future Library use. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. 15. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Comments: • a) The site is in a developed area within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is located 1 mile from the project site. This project consists of 13 residential condo units. The project will include a small tot lot and barbeque area, thereby mitigating the impacts to nearby public parks. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. The impact is considered less-than-significant to public parks and public recreational facilities. b) The site is in a developed area within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

The project will include a small tot lot and barbeque area, thereby mitigating the impacts to nearby public parks. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. The environmental impact to construct the small tot lot and barbeque area is minimal and considered less-than-significant; the air quality study prepared for the project includes an operational analysis for the site and concludes that all impacts can mitigated to a level less-than-significant. • Rev. 11/2010 A & B76 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 42 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than pp g Significant Mitigation Significant No Imoact Incorcorated Imoacl Imoacl 16. TRANSPORTATIONITRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation, including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including, but not limited to, intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) program, including, but not limited to a level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that result in substantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) • (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? Comments: a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 76 average daily trips. The proposed project includes the development of 13 residential condominium units. The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each residential condo will generate 5.86 average daily trips. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16), continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in project design. The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development Fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of Building Permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts are anticipated. b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each residential condo unit will • generate .56 two-way peak hour trips daily, for a total of 7.28 two-way peak hour trips for the 13-unit project. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Rev. 11/2010 A & B77 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 43 • Less Than Less cant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: g.tentially With Than pp 9 Significant Mitigaton Significant No Impact Incorporate, Impact Impact Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted Transportation Development Fee prior to issuance of building permit. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials. The project will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts are anticipated. C) Located approximately 3.25 northeasterly of the LA/ONT Airport, the site is off-set north of the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. The project is located within the Airspace Protection Area according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Development within this protection area will comply with FAR Part 77 regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. The construction of two-story residential condominium units will not impact existing air traffic patterns or operations at LA/ONT Airport. No impacts are anticipated. d) The project is in an area that is mostly developed. The project will be required to provide • street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. The project design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections or farming uses. The project will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. No impacts are anticipated. e) Although the project only has one point of access, the applicant has applied for and received approval for Alternate Method from the Fire Construction Services Division of Building and Safety. The Alternate Method requires that every unit be constructed with fire sprinklers. With the Alternate Method and compliance with Fire Codes, no adverse impacts are anticipated. No impacts are anticipated. f) Where required by the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code, the design of the project includes, or the project will be conditioned to provide, features supporting transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e.g., bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc.). The project does not conflict with any adopted alternative transportation plan. The project is located in very close proximity (less than 1/4 mile away from nearest connection point) to the Pacific Electric Walking and Bicycle Trail, which will facilitate alternative transportation uses and trip reduction. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in the construction of new water or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause • significant environmental effects?

Comments: a) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 and RP-4 treatment plants. The RP-1 • capacity is sufficient to exceed the additional development within the western and southern areas of the City. The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of 28 mgd, which is considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in wastewater generation for buildout of the General Plan. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated. b) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated. C) All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of Grading Permits. The impact is not considered significant. d) The project is served by the CVWD water system. Under Senate Bill 610 (SB 610), Water Supply Assessments are required for projects that exceed the following sizes: 1) Residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; 2) shipping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet; 3) commercial office buildings employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet; 4) hotel or motel having more than 500 rooms; 5) industrial, manufacturing, processing plant, or industrial park housing more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet; 6) mixed use project including one or more of the projects specified above; 7) any other project that would demand an amount of water equivalent to or greater than the amount of water Rev. 11/2010 A & B79 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 45 • Lass Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than PP 9 Signifcant Mitigation Si No Impact Incorporated Im act Im ad required by a 500-dwelling unit project; and 8) any project that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of existing service connections for a public water system.

Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site. There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6). In accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Environmental Guidelines and practices, the City contacted the San Bernardino County Museum and requested that a records search be performed in order to ascertain the occurrence potential for archaeological, historic or cultural resources. Planning staff received correspondence from Ms. Robin Laska, Assistant Coordinator, Archaeological Information Center for San Bernardino County Museum that indicates that no previously inventoried prehistoric, historic archaeological, historic cultural and ethnic resources are known to exist within or adjacent to the project area. However, there is the occurrence potential for prehistoric and historic archaeological resources to exist within or adjacent to the project area. The correspondence from the San Bernardino County Museum indicates that the potential for the presence of prehistoric and historic archaeological resources is moderate and high, respectively, and potential for historic resources is moderate. The letter additionally states that the site has potential for buried prehistoric and historic archaeological resources associated with the roads and railroad • shown on historic maps. In concert with the moderate to high occurrence potential for buried archaeological resource, a formal Cultural Resources Assessment by LSA Associates (January 2011)was performed. LSA Associates conducted a cultural records search, Native American Scoping and field survey for project site to assess the potential for cultural resources greater than 50 years old. The project site has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources, and no previously recorded cultural resources were located within the project boundaries. The nearest cultural resource site is a historical residence and refuse site located approximately 120 feet southeast of the project site, southwest of the intersection of San Bernardino Road and Vineyard Avenue. A large archaeological site was recorded approximately 200 feet west of the project; and the John Rains House is approximately 600 feet northeast of the project, across Vineyard Avenue. LSA associates conducted a records search at the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center (SBAIC) located in Redlands. Also, the California Historical Resources Information System cultural resources maps were checked for possible prehistoric and historic resources previously recorded within 1/2 mile of the project. Data from the SBAIC indicate that the project has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources and that no cultural resources were located within the project boundaries. The GLO map review did not indicate any former sites or historic buildings within the project boundary and shows the project area as part of the Rancho Cucamonga land grant. A pedestrian survey was also conducted of the project site by a qualified archaeologist. The survey was conducted by walking parallel transects spaced approximate 15 meters apart. Soil profiles were also examined. No cultural resources were observed during the • field survey.

In a response letter dated January 23, 2009, the NAHC stated that the search of the SLF did not identify any known Native American resources in the immediate project area; however, the NAHC recommended nine Native American groups/entities that may have knowledge of cultural resources in or near the project site be contacted. On January 26, 2009, LSA contacted each of these tribes/individuals. Two tribes responded to the requests for information. The Gabriel/Tongva tribe requested Native American monitoring of the site and that the tribe be kept informed on the project. The Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians responded also and requested to be kept informed about the project, requested a Native American presence during ground disturbing activities. According to the cultural resources assessment, during the field survey no cultural resources were recorded on the surface; however, ground visibility was approximately 45 percent. Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. Because of the substantial number of prehistoric and historic sites in the area, the cultural resources report by LSA concludes that there is potential for subsurface resources, and a high potential for historic/prehistoric cultural resources to be identified during earth- disturbing activities. Per the recommendations in the cultural resources assessment, the mitigation measures listed under the Cultural Resources section shall be implemented • and will reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2010 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change and Mineral Resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required. C) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of • people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels. Rev. 11/2010 A & B82 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 48 According to the cultural resources assessment, during the field survey no cultural • resources were recorded on the surface, however, ground visibility was approximately 45 percent. Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. Because of the substantial number of prehistoric and historic sites in the area, the cultural resources report,by LSA concludes that there is potential for subsurface resources, and a high potential for historic/prehistoric cultural resources to be identified during earth-disturbing activities. Per the recommendations in the cultural resources assessment, the mitigation measures listed under the Cultural Resources section shall be implemented and will reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier PEIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. The following earlier analyses were utilized in completing this Initial Study and are available for review in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Planning Division offices, 10500 Civic Center Drive: (✓) General Plan FPEIR (SCH#2000061027, Certified May 19, 2010) (✓) General Plan FEIR (SCH#2000061027, Certified October 17, 2001) • (✓) Master Environmental Assessment for the 1989 General Plan Update (SCH #88020115, certified January 4, 1989) (✓) Air Quality Analysis, URBEMIS 2007 Methodology LSA Associates, January 2011 (✓) Correspondence from San Bernardino County Museum November 6, 2008 (✓) Cultural Resources Assessment LSA Associates, February January 2011 (✓) Earthquake Fault Investigation of the Red Hill Fault Cal Land Engineering, Inc/Quartech Consultants January 2006 (✓) Letter from Cal Land Engineering Letter dated March 23, 2011 (✓) Water Quality Management Plan Cal Land Engineering, Inc., November 2011 (✓) Noise Impact Analysis LSA Associates, January 2011 • Rev. 1112010 A & B83 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 Page 49 • APPLICANT CERTIFICATION I certify that I am the applicant for the project described in this Initial Study.

Applicant's Signature: Date: Print Name and Title: \ < t /940 • • Rev. 11/2010 A & B84 Y City of Rancho Cucamonga - - MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM Project File No.: SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913, and DRC2009-00914 This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code). Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements: 1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project. 2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. 3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring • progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those responsible for the program. Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department. Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. 1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant. 2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached hereto. This procedure designates who will take action,what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address: City of Rancho Cucamonga - Lead Agency Planning Department 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 A & B85 Mitigation Monitoring Program SUBTT16510, DRC2005-00044, DRC2009-00913,AND DRC2009-00914—HOME AND LAND LLC Page 2 • 3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staffs is needed, as determined by the project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner. 4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of development. 5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP Reporting Form. 6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions. An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel. 7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented. • 8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department. The Department shall require the applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee) with the City. These funds shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and report on the mitigation measure for the required period of time. 9. In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or Planning Director prior to the issuance of building permits. • A & B86 U .

On the 11th day of April 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider 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 April 11, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to vacant property located on the north side of San Bernardino Road, west of Vineyard Avenue and with a street frontage of approximately 200 feet on San Bernardino Road, and b. The property is approximately 2.12 acres (gross) in size and contains no structures, and an antiquated combination retaining and drainage wall that is no longer necessary because of the existing drainage infrastructure that has been constructed to handle runoff flows; and C. The property to the northwest of the subject site contains single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to the south is developed with a commercial shopping center and is zoned Community Commercial; the property to the west contains the concrete-lined, Cucamonga Creek flood control channel and is zoned Flood Control; the properties to the east • contain two single-family dwelling units and are zoned Medium Residential; and A & 13100 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-13 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044 — HOME AND LAND LLC April 11, 2012 Page 2 d. The applicant has concurrently applied for a Tentative Tract Map to develop the • project site with 13 residential condominiums (SUBTT16510)and a Tree Removal Permit to remove 2 trees on the site (DRC2009-00914); and e. The project has been designed with both single-story and two-story product, thereby offering a diversity of housing product for different lifestyles and needs; and f. On February 17, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 10-027, thereby vacating said portion of Carnelian Street; and g. The project design meets or exceeds the Site Development Standards for projects within the Medium Residential District; and h. There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site, and adequate mitigation is included in the mitigation measures should archaeological resources be discovered during earthwork operations; and i.

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 by . providing an infill residential development that utilizes both single-story and two-story product, thereby being sensitive to the massing and scale of existing residential housing stock; and b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located because the project includes residential condominiums, a permitted use of the Medium Residential District; and C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code by meeting or exceeding the Development Standards for multi-family product for setbacks, building separations, height and design of the project; and d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated 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 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 A & B101 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-13 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2005-00044 — HOME AND LAND LLC April 11, 2012 Page 3 • 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. 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 adopts 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 decision 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. 5.

A. Recitals. 1. Home and Land LLC filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map No. SUBTT16510, 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 April 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly 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 April 11, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to 2.12 acres (gross) of vacant property located on the north side of San Bernardino Road, west of Vineyard Avenue, a with a street frontage of approximately 200 feet on San Bernardino Road; and b. The property to the northwest of the subject site is contains single-family residences and is zoned Low Residential;the property to the south is developed with a commercial shopping center and is zoned Community Commercial; the property to the west contains the concrete-lined, Cucamonga Creek flood control channel and is zoned Flood Control; the properties to the east contain two single-family dwelling units and are zoned Medium; and C. The application proposes the subdivision of air space for residential condominium purposes; and d. The application, in conjunction with Development Review DRC2005-00044, • proposes the development of 13 residential condominiums; and A & 8134 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.12-14 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510— HOME AND LAND LLC April 11, 2012 Page 2 e. The condominium subdivision will allow ownership of individual units and provide a • type of housing product for a segment of the residential market. f. The subdivision, together with the recommended conditions of approval, complies with all minimum development standards for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. 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 tentative tract is within the Medium Residential District, which permits the construction of residential condominium units, a land use consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans since the Medium Residential District permits the construction of multi-family dwelling units; and C. The 2.12 acres site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed, a 13 unit residential condominium project; and d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat because the environmental analysis includes all appropriate studies, including an air quality analysis and cultural resources report, along with associated mitigation measures that will mitigate all potential impacts to less than • significant; and e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems because the environmental analysis for the tentative tract concludes that all environmental impacts can be mitigated to a level of less than significant with adherence to mitigation measures contained in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist; and f. The project site used to contain an unimproved right-of-way for Carnelian Street that was determined to be no longer needed for street and highway purposes. Utility companies, other agencies and various City departments were notified by the Engineering Division of the proposed street vacation and were asked for comments; no objection to the vacation was received. On January 13, 2010, the Planning Commission, by minute action, found the vacation of Carnelian Street to be in conformance with the General Plan; and on February 17, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 10-027, thereby vacating said portion of Carnelian Street; therefore all prerequisites for the necessary street vacation for the tentative tract have occurred and 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. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated 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 Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: • A & B135 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.12-14 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT16510— HOME AND LAND LLC April 11, 2012 Page 3 • 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 adopts 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 therefore adopts 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 decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

With 13 units,there will be a minimum of 26 vehicles(2 per unit). The overflow vehicles will have to park on the street,which is narrow. Large trucks use San Bernardino Road to deliver to Albertson Grocery store. The two or three story height will block the view to the mountains, Red Hill,toward the south (all around) and make it a closed in looking area. The open space in that area makes it relaxed and not confined. The units will be looking down on the existing homes in that area. Who is going to want to buy a unit with the bike trail right in their backyard and looking right into their windows and down in their yards.
