LLC.

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 substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing on June 13, 2018, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to 7 parcels of approximately 150.79 acres located at the
northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Wilson Avenue; and
b. The project is adjacent to the south and west by single-family residences and is
adjacent to the north and east by vacant undeveloped land; and
c. The zoning of the subject property is Very-Low Residential District and Low
Residential District. The zoning of the properties to the north and west are within the Low
Residential District. The Zoning of the property to the east is within the Very-Low Residential District.
The Zoning of the properties to the south are within the Very-Low Residential District. The subject
property and properties to the north, east and west are within the North Etiwanda Specific Plan. The
properties to the south are within the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
d. The previously approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 complies with the
density requirements specified within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP). The ENSP
requires the density within any residential district to be determined through the residential land
development/design review process and public hearings as described in the Development Code
in order to ensure compatibility with adjacent residential developments; existing or proposed.
The Tentative Tract Map includes 358 lots for single-family residential development and is
consistent with the existing residential development to the west and northwest as well as the
previously approved subdivisions to the north and southeast. The northern portion of
SUBTT16072 includes 167 lots on 56.61 acres with a density of 2.95 dwelling units per acre.
The southern portion of the project includes 191 lots on 65.71 acres at a density of 2.92 dwelling
units per acre. The combined net density of the project is 2.93 dwelling units per acre.The gross
density of the project is 2.38 dwelling units per acre; and
e. The previously approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 is consistent with
the density provisions of the General Plan Land Use Designations of Low Residential (2-4
dwelling units per acre) and Very Low Residential (1-2 dwelling units per acre) as averaged
across the project site (as described in subsection e. above). Furthermore, development across
the entire project results in less development than what would otherwise be allowed under the
General Plan based on the permitted densities; and
f. The extension of the Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 approval will not cause
significant inconsistencies with the current General Plan, specific plans, ordinances, plans, codes,
and policies; and
g. The extension of the Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 approval is not likely to
cause public health and safety problems; and
h. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local ordinance.
This application involves the fifth 1-year time extension. Section 16.16.170.0 of the Municipal Code,
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.18-24
TIME EXTENSION DRC2018-00319 - GOLDEN MEADOWLAND, LLC. AND RANCH HAVEN,
LLC.

Time Limit of Extension, allows for up to five time-extensions to be granted in 12-month increments.
This will be the final extension of time that can be granted for the subject tentative tract map.
3. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all
written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on June 16, 2004 in
connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required
in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial
changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment;
(ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts;or(iii) new important information
shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv)
additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures
can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the time extension request,that
substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred
which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previously certified EIR.
The proposal only involves a request to extend the approval period of a previously approved
Tentative Tract Map. The proposal does not involve any changes or modifications to the design of
the previously approved subdivision. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previously certified EIR, not have more severe effects than
previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce
the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. A memorandum was submitted by the
applicant's biologist, on June 5, 2017, stating the site conditions remain consistent with previous site
assessments. The letter also concludes, based on observations made in our recent site visit, no
substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts and no new important
information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered,and
that, no additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation
measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
c. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record,the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the time extension.
