A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING TREE REMOVAL
PERMIT DRC2018-00460, A REQUEST TO REMOVE 58 TREES FROM
AN EXISTING VACANT SITE TOTALING 1.21 ACRES OF LAND
RELATED TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF A 10,763-SQUARE
FOOT CHILD CARE FACILITY WITH OUTDOOR PLAY AREAS,
LOCATED IN THE VILLAGE COMMERCIAL (VC) DISTRICT, VICTORIA
PLANNED COMMUNITY, AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ATWOOD
STREET AND VICTORIA PARK LANE; APN: 1089-581-09.
A. Recitals.
1. The applicant, Kiddie Academy, filed an application for Tree Removal Permit
DRC2018-00460, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Tree Removal Permit is referred to as "the application."
2. On July 25, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during
the above-referenced public hearing on July 25, 2018, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located within the City; and
b. The application applies to approximately 1.21 acres of land located south of
Atwood Street and west of Victoria Park Lane and is currently designated Village Commercial
(VC) of the Victoria Planned Community; and
c. The property to the south contains a shopping center and is located in the Village
Commercial (VC) District, and the property to the west contains an apartment complex located in
the Village Commercial (VC) District, and the property to the north contains a condominium
complex located in the Medium-High (MH) Residential District, and the property to the east
contains single-family homes and an undeveloped lot located in the Low-Medium (LM) Residential
District; and
d. The proposed onsite improvements consist of a 10,763-square foot child care
facility and accompanying outdoor play and entertainment areas. The project will also make

modifications to an existing 70-stall parking lot to improve circulation and to allow it to achieve
compliance with ADA requirements; and
e. The proposed removal of 58 trees is to accommodate development onsite,
including upgrading of the parking lot to be in compliance with ADA requirements. A total of 33
trees will be planted to meet the required parking lot and site tree requirements. Overall, the site
will have 25 fewer trees than existing.
f. The proposed project meets or exceeds all Development Code standards. The
site also meets all applicable Village Commercial (VC) standards for commercial development as
established per the Victoria Community Plan.
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, and the findings outlined from Section 17.16.080, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows:
a. For a development project, every effort has been made to incorporate the tree(s)
into the design of the project and the only appropriate alternative is the removal of the tree. The
proposed development will retain 30 trees onsite, including a eucalyptus windrow consisting of 15
trees along the north property line. Per the Arborist Report, removal of the remaining 58 trees is
necessary to accommodate development and to configure the site to meet ADA standards.
b. For requests not associated with a development project, the tree presents a
threat to public health and safety and must be removed. The trees are currently associated with
a Design Review application (Design Review DRC2017-00889), and the trees are not currently a
threat to public health and/or safety. However, the Tree Removal Permit request is part of the
proposed development of the site, which includes a Design Review application (DRC2017-00889)
and a Conditional Use Permit application (DRC2017-00890). Per the Arborist Report, removal of
the remaining 58 trees is necessary to accommodate development and to configure the site to
meet ADA standards.
c. The removal of the trees will not have a negative impact on the health, safety, or
viability of surrounding trees, nor will it negatively impact the aesthetics or general welfare of the
surrounding area. An Arborist Report prepared for the site determined that none of the trees were
ecologically dependent on one another. The proposed project will also retain 30 trees onsite,
including a eucalyptus windrow consisting of 15 trees along the north property line. An additional
33 trees will be planted to meet the required parking lot and site tree requirements. The
combination of existing and proposed trees will maintain adequate landscaping onsite. The
additional trees will mitigate any potential impacts that may occur with the proposed Tree Removal
Permit request and preserve the aesthetics and general welfare of the surrounding area.
4. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, which covers in-fill development. The proposed Design
Review is for a 10,763-square foot child care facility on a project site of no more than 5 acres and
substantially surrounded by urban uses. A Biological Habitat Assessment Report (Golden State
Land & Tree Assessment, March 2018) concluded that the project site has no value as a habitat
for endangered, rare or threatened species. An Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study(Birdseye
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.18-47
TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2018-00460 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

Page 3
Planning Group, February 2018) concluded that the project would not exceed the applicable
Southern California Air Quality Management District's threshold for air quality and greenhouse
gas emissions during construction or operational activity. A Trip Generation Memorandum (Mizuta
Traffic Consulting, December 201*7) forecasted that traffic volumes will result in lower traffic
volumes than projections based on standard ITE trip generation rates. City Engineering staff
reviewed the memorandum and concluded that the project would likely not significantly impact
nearby intersections and roadways. An Acoustical Evaluation (Noise Engineers, April 2018)
concluded that the project's noise contribution to adjacent roadways would be less than significant
and that the on-site operation noises levels will not exceed 65 dBA during the hours of 10:00 p.m.
to 7:00 a.m. and 70 dBA during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. when measured at the
adjacent property line. A Conceptual Water Quality Management Plan was submitted and
reviewed by the City's grading engineer. The City's grading engineer approved the conceptual
design and will review the final design when grading plans are submitted. Therefore, it can be
seen that the proposed facility will have no potential for resulting in significant effect or physical
change to the environment.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 25TH DAY OF JULY 2018.

CODE — Prior to the issuance of any building permit the applicant shall comply with Section
5.106.10 (Grading and paving) of the current adopted California Green Building Standards Code:
Construction plans shall indicate how site grading or a drainage system will manage all surface
water flows to keep water from entering buildings. Examples of methods to manage surface water
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Swales.
2. Water collection and disposal systems.
3. French drains.
4. Water retention gardens.
5. Other water measures which keep surface water away from buildings and aid in groundwater
recharge.
Exception: Additions and alterations not altering the drainage path.
33. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the precise grading and drainage plan shall follow the format
provided in the City of Rancho Cucamonga handout"Information for Grading Plans and Permit".
34. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant shall show on the site plan and the permitted
grading plan set for non-residential projects the designated parking for clean air vehicles per the
current adopted California Green Building Standards Code, section 5.106.5.2.
35. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for non-residential projects the applicant shall show on the
electrical plans and the permitted grading plan set the location for a future installation of an Electric
Vehicle (EV) charging station/parking area per the current adopted California Green Building
Standards Code, section 5.106.5.3.
