Commissioner Fletcher said they are good designs and should be attractive. Commissioner Macias concurred.

Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file) Commissioner Fletcher asked for the material samples and asked what type of stucco would be used. Mr. van der Zwaag said it is a standard stucco and apologized for the lack of a materials board. He said the siding will be "hardyboard" with a wood grain finish, Commissioner Fletcher asked if the units on Terra Vista Parkway have garages. Mr. van der Zwaag confirmed they will have garages and parking on street. Chairman Oaxaca opened the Public Hearing and seeing and hearing no comment, closed the Public Hearing. Jonathan Seimsen with Van Daele Homes thanked staff and noted the innovative product. He said they worked hard on the requested items and Mr. van derZwaag did a great job presenting. He confirmed the stucco has a 16120 grit and the Hardyboard will be 4" & 6" size. Chairman Oaxaca asked if the product is "for sale" product. Mr. Seimsen confirmed they are for sale. He noted these same bungalows were built in Brea and were received well. Commissioner Munoz noted the project provides needed additional housing. He said it has a different look and feel and he looks forward to seeing that and how the street frontage plays out. Commissioner Wimberly said it is a very nice product for that location, the architecture is interesting and new. He said the applicant worked well with staff and said he did not think the project would be possible without the requested entitlements.

He said he has no concerns about the parking. He said he is generally a little resistant to street parking but it makes sense at this location. Commissioner Munoz said the project is unique and it will stand out in Terra Vista. He said he had initial concerns about the parking but for that area it should work and it is good to see Terra Vista fill out. Chairman Oaxaca said he is happy to see a combination of amenities, livability and different homes. He said it is innovative and it reaches a demographic and the needs of that generation. He said this is a good place for on -street parking along the frontage of some of the units - he noted the area has evolved.

DISCUSSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION C1. PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2017-00216 — LEWIS MANAGEMENT CORP. — A request for a Pre -Application Review of a proposed mixed use development consisting of 171 multi -family residential units, 27 live/work units, and about 3,600 square feet of commercial floor area on a vacant property consisting of four (4) parcels with a combined area of about 748,000 square feet (17.17 acres) in the Financial (MFC) District, Terra Vista Planned Community, located at the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue; APNs: 1077-421-51, -54, and -55, and 1090-121-28. Mike Smith, Sr. Planner gave the staff report and Powerpoint presentation (copy of file). He suggested the Commission discuss the architecture, building massing/scale and the land use mix. Page 1 of 6 C2—Pgl MAY 109 2017 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Spencer Bogner, Project Manager, gave a presentation summarizing the project. He said some of their goals included minimizing the obstruction of views, working with the grade differences and incorporating the southwest comer that is already developed. He said they sought connectivity with other uses and they used the piazza to solve some concerns and serve as a focal point with unique public spaces and provides a central hub and also invites visitors to the live/work areas, works through grade issues and attracts visitors from restaurants to the south as it would be partially visible from Foothill Boulevard. He said the Piazza is their "big idea "for the project. He said they believe 1 % of renters are self-employed and may utilize the live work units. He said there is a combination of public and private spaces and the pool and spa -deck will be raised. He noted the live/work units are targeted for professions like accountants, artists, and photographers; the space is about 400 square feet, is hilly accessible and have 2-car garages. A sign package application will also be submitted. Paul Anderson/Architect said the architecture is Italian inspired (with piazza) and offers old world charm with a backdrop to public spaces incorporating corbels, hipped roofs, enhanced surrounds, larger windows, bright awnings, arched deck openings, and signage for the live/work units. The Commissioners had the following comments and questions: Commissioner Munoz asked about a crosswalk across Church Street and noted the fast traffic Mike Smith, Senior Planner noted the Traffic Engineer is working on a solution that would not create unnecessary maintenance. Albert Espinoza, Asst. City Engineer suggested a "Hawk" system -a pedestrian hybrid beacon activated system. Commissioner Munoz asked if the pool is private and if the live/work units are all side to side or are some vertical. He also asked if the units to the south near Foothill Boulevard will face the street. He asked if the southeast corner of the site is started yet. Mr. Bogner said they have the work space below with the residence above and the pool is private - residents will be issued a key -fob. He confirmed those units will face the street. Mr. Smith noted that it was discussed the southerly units should not "turn their back" on the street Randall Lewis of the Lewis Companies explained that area will be market driven and a tenant has not been confirmed as yet. Page 2 of 6 C2-Pg2 MAY 10, 2017 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Fletcher questioned the parking and noted the importance of Pad A and if that parking could be used for additional parking and referred to an adequate mix of uses. Mr. Smith said it has 150 stalls and if the proposed building is not too large, some could be used for excess parking. Candyce Burnett, City Planner noted that even though Pad A is `hot a part" we have discussed the edge conditions, how it relates and fits in context and with the project overall. She said the overall site has quite a bit of retail and that was considered. She said the question is did they bring enough of a mix of uses to the inside of the site -did they satisfy that with the live work units and commercial pads. Commissioner Wimberly said integrating it as a whole it works but not if you leave out pieces. Chairman Oaxaca asked about the access points. Mr. Bogner indicated the access points in question are just emergency vehicle access points. Mark Bertone, Project Engineer commented on the significant grade fall north to south on the project site. He said years ago, Church Street was raised 4 feet to help accommodate the 100-year storm basin. John Young commented that he enjoyed the weekly meetings with staff to discuss the project and that they were helpful The Commission offered the following comments Commissioner Munoz said it is an unusual layout, but he likes the Italianate architecture, the mixed use in the interior of the project, the movement, massing and articulation. He said he likes the Piazza idea and said the project gets kudos so far. Commissioner Macias said it is an excellent project so far and "cool". He said he supports the idea of reducing the building mass. He said the commercial pads are dead center on Foothill and therefore the interior of the project may not be visible from Foothill. There will be a dependence upon Pad A and existing retail. He said the applicant should make sure access is obtained to the apartments to the north to help support the businesses in the interior of this development -the commercial traffic is needed to feed into that area. Page 3 of 6 C2-Pg3 MAY 109 2017 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Wimberly agreed that foot traffic is a key component to keep the commercial uses alive. He said massing is important. He said the applicant needs to be sure the development is properly parked as it looks like an issue right now. Commissioner Fletcher said the layout looks cohesive. He said he likes the five/work units but he said the massing along Church and Milliken concerns him. He said he likes all the interior views. He said he wanted to see the street scene. He noted he did not like the Santa Barbara development because of massive white walls. He encouraged tall landscaping to help break it up. Chairman Oaxaca echoed the comment and noted he had the same reaction to Santa Barbara, but once the landscaping matured it became a showpiece -it needed time to get there. He said the Italian architecture is very classic and clean but can tend to look bare and lacking visual interest. He said he is happy to see a focus on pedestrian connectivity and ease of movement through the project. He said it offers a good opportunity to connect with other parts of the community -and for synergy. He said they should look at the options for a pedestrian crossing across Church Street. He said he supports the proportion of live work units -a good mix. D. ADJOURNMENT 9:15 PM I, Lois J.

The City strives to plan and budget for projects that exemplify Rancho Cucamonga's aesthetic standards, particularly in areas of the City that are older and undergoing rehabilitation. Many Beautification projects bring these areas into alignment with the rest of the City. The City adheres to a Xeriscape policy in all of its plant material selection, ensuring current water conservation standards, as well as the adaptability of plants, trees, flowers and shrubs to Southern California's warm and dry climate. This practice helps to reduce ongoing maintenance and irrigation costs. The Beautification Fee Program was discontinued in 2014 and fees are no longer being collected. Current and future projects will utilize these funds until the remaining fund balance has been depleted.

Drainage projects are scheduled and planned due to the availability of funding, safety concerns, new development, and weather/emergency events. In extreme circumstances, inadequate drainage can prevent development from taking place. The City consults with many other agencies when constructing new drainage improvements, including util ity companies, the Cucamonga Valley Water District, the San Bernardino Flood Control District and the Army Corps of Engineers, as needs dictate. Drainage projects are typically funded from Drainage Funds and eligible street funding sources such as Measure I or Gas Tax.

BC3-Pg15 2 Facilities A1 our: Projects that construct new buildings or that either improve, add on to, or renovate existing buildings and ancillary structures are typically classified as Facilities Projects. These projects ultimately result in new structures being added to the City's fixed facility inventory; however, some projects placed in this category are considered capital rehabilitation as they focus on the remodeling or restoration of existing facilities. The majority of these projects are funded via City Reserve funds. Major projects may qualify for state, federal and/or grant funding. Typical operating expenses for facilities include increases in staffing, building and systems maintenance costs, overhead expenses and utilities.

Most of the work will be cosmetic. The redesign will be done in two phases. Phase I will include first floor staff office and area in Circulation, Passport Office and second floor literacy offices. Phase II will include the second floor administration area, staff room and offices. Justification: Existing staff area is over 20 years old and contains all original furniture, with the exception of the chairs. Limited storage space and functional cubicles has led to boxes, carts, and library materials crowding staff areas. Creating a more efficient and ergonomic space will allow for better workflow, better working conditions, as well as more inviting forthe public into admin area.

Construction Start/End: 08/2017-10/2017 Project Status: Design/Construction Department: Community Services/Parks Project Manager: Elisa Cox Description: Project Number: JL Key: 1895 Object: 5650 Cultural Center - Loading Bay ECT LO a a a' a This project involves the design to cover a portion of the Service/Loading Bay at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. Justification: Unlike mast venues who produce theatre productions, the Lewis Family Playhouse was built without a shop space, therefore requiring technical/carpentry staff to work outside in the loading bay when set pieces and prop items need to be built for a production. There is no shelter to protect the staff or the items being constructed from inclement weather. Currently much of the Playhouse's set construction is contracted out to a commercial shop, which increases costs significantly. Having a sheltered area outside of the stage doors would allow the tech staff better working conditions for these construction projects than simply working outside in the often unpleasant or sometimes unsafe elements.

E 9 C3—Pg51 Pa rks Any capital project that is located in, on, or adjacent to a park or community center facility is classified as a Park Project. These include the construction of new park facilities, as well as the expansion or rehabilitation of existing park facilities. Improvements include playing fields, play ground equipment, park landscaping, other miscellaneous recreational amenities, restroom facilities and parking lot improvements. Many of these projects require ongoing maintenance, and all field rehabilitation projects and renovations are performed on an annual or bi-annual basis due to extensive wear from local league play. The majority of Park Projects are funded via the Park Development Fund (120), which is collected via residential development fees (i.e. new single family, town home, condo and senior housing). Some projects qualify for grants and Special District funds.

Design 5tart/End: 07/2017 - 10/2017 Project Status: Environmental/NPDES Department: Community Services Project Manager: Michelle Keith Description: This is to update the conceptual plans for Central Park so the City can continue to pursue funding opportunities for future park development. Given the history of fluctuating economic conditions, redirecting the Central Park Master Plan from large 20 — 30 acre per phase projects into smaller 5 —10 acre phased elements will likely provide more funding opportunities. A new public outreach and design process will create an up-to-date plan to guide staff when funding is identified. This will also fund the required Envrionment Review Report. Justification: There is approximately 70 acres of undeveloped parkland at Central Park.

F5 C3—Pg57 Railroad Crossing Railroad Crossings are extremely expensive and infrequent projects, requiring large funding commitments, lengthy construction schedules and inevitably causing some inconvenience to the local community during the construction period. They are, however, also one of the best ways to ensure the safety of drivers, pedestrians and rail users by providing two separate crossings, thereby minimizing the possibility of train versus automobile, or train versus pedestrian accidents. Railroad Crossings are identified in the City's General Plan document, and they are also frequently illustrated in regional planning documents held by the County of San Bernardino, SANBAG and Caltrans.

Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. BACKGROUND: This item was previously scheduled for a Historic Preservation Commission public hearing on May 10, 2017. On the day of the hearing, the Planning Department received a letter (Exhibit M) from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in response to the project's proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration that was circulated on April 3, 2017. The letter provided comments and recommendations relating to the Biological Resources section of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff requested a continuance to allow the applicant the time to adequately prepare a response to CDFW's comments/recommendations. These comments and recommendations are discussed in further detail within the Environmental Assessment section below. The applicant and the applicant's biologist have since worked with staff and submitted a response that addresses the concerns described in the letter. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission take the following actions: • Recommend the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts. • Approve Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2016-00966. 1-fi[9:(c1:;K1111hi, 10 The related General Plan Amendment DRC2016-00964, Design Review DRC2016-00814, Density Bonus Agreement DRC2017-00156, Variance DRC2017-00032 and Tree Removal Permit will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on the same meeting date.

General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Medium (LM) North - Low Medium (LM) South - Neighborhood Commercial (NC) East - Low Medium (LM) West - Low Medium (LM) & Utility Corridor (UC) D. Site Characteristics: The project site is generally rectangular in shape and is approximately 340 feet from east to west and 600 feet from north to south. The site drains roughly from north to south, with a grade change of approximately 10 feet from the north to south property lines. The site is highly disturbed with a total vegetation cover of approximately 60 percent. There is a large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree located at the southeast corner of the site. A. General: The related projects are for the development of a 140-unit, affordable senior rental housing project on 4 acres of land at the terminus of Firehouse Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard. A large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree located at the southeast corner of the project site was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. Removal of the tree requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation Commission, a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to modify General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the tree from a map illustrating the location of all the historic resources in the City and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965). Staff supports the removal of the tree due to the tree's declining condition. The applicant will plant a 72-inch box size Canyon Live Oak tree to replace the existing tree. B. Certificate of Appropriateness: In 1987 the Historic Preservation Commission recommended the Canyon Live Oak tree be designated as a Historic Landmark. The original application for designation was requested by Rober L. Hickcox, a local resident and noted expert on the history of Etiwanda. At the time of the request, the native oak was 13 feet, 10 inches in circumference at a point of 3 feet above the ground with a spread of 66 feet. This was comparable in size to the large Sycamore in front of the Sycamore Inn and also to the Majestic Oak found in the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont. The experts at the time estimated its age at over 1,00 years. They surmised that because this variety was typically found growing along the edges of the foothills, the seed may have washed from the foothill area to this location during winter rains. The recommendation for designation was approved based upon the age, size and community/cultural significance of the tree. D1—Pg2 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2016-00966 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 3 Development Code Section 17.16.080 (Tree Removal Permit) requires that removal of a tree that was previously designated as a Historic Landmark shall include the approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Certificate of Appropriateness will remove the Historic Landmark designation from the subject Canyon Live Oak tree due to the declining health of the subject tree. A condition of approval has been added requiring the developer to install a plaque commemorating the historic tree. C. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study (IS) 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 Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Agricultural Resources, Cultural Resources, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Noise, 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 and was circulated on April 3, 2017. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration at a Historic Preservation/Planning Commission hearing that was scheduled for May 10 2017. Because of a letter (Exhibit M) received on May 10, 2017 from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the Planning Department requested a continuance to the next Historic Preservation/Planning Commission hearing date of May 24, 2017 to allow the applicant the time to prepare a response to the concerns described in the letter. The applicant and their consultant (LSA) have worked with staff to address CDFW's concerns, which includes the project's potential to impact sensitive species and natural communities. Below is a summary of each of CDFW's concerns, followed by LSA's response to those concerns. CDFW Comment #1. Sensitive Plant and Animal Species: CDFW raised concerns that the Initial Study (IS) identifies several special -status wildlife species with potential to occur on the project site, including Coast horned lizard, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and San Diego desert wood rat, but states that there is a low likelihood for these species to occur due to the habitat conditions on site. The IS further states that no small mammal burrows were observed on site. CDFW is concerned that the IS fails to identify the potential for the Los Angeles pocket mouse (LAPM) to occur onsite, particularly as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has documented the occurrence of LAPM within close proximity to the project site. The IS also identifies special status plant species with potential to occur on the project site, including Parry's spineflower and mesa horkelia. However, despite the identification of suitable vegetation and/or soils, focused botanical surveys of the project area were not completed. Instead, the IS/MND concludes that because the site is disturbed, there is a low likelihood of these species being present. The LSA letter report (page 5) also concludes that "due to the small size of the proposed project site, existing disturbances, and- proximity to surrounding development, impacts to these sensitive species are not considered significant." LSA Response to Comment #1: LSA maintains that the habitat -on site is considered to be of low value for the subject species because the site is small in size (4 acres), has previously been subjected to onsite activities resulting in the degradation of native vegetation diversity and quality, and is isolated from other similar habitats in the region as a result of extensive surrounding D1—Pg3 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2016-00966 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 4 development. Review of historical aerials from as early as 2004 (Google Earth) shows the site has intermittently been subjected to repeated ground disturbance and clearing of vegetation, and is isolated from fluvial events as a result of development and the channelization of Day Creek. As a result, native vegetation diversity has been altered. A re-evaluation of the project site was conducted by LSA Senior Biologist/Botanist, Stanley Spencer on May 12, 2017, between the hour of 8:30 am and 12:30 pm. During the site visit, Mr. Spencer conducted a focused rare plant survey for listed species and bloom periods. No sensitive plant species were observed and considered absent from the project site. Mr. Spencer also searched for sensitive animal species. No sensitive animal species or small mammal burrows were observed. However, because a trapping study and focused survey for other sensitive species (e.g., Coast horned lizard) were not conducted, it is very unlikely that individual sensitive animal species occur on the project site. Although a few individual sensitive animal species are very unlikely to occur on the project site, the project site would not support their long term, continued existence because habitat on site is considered to be of low value for the sensitive species due to the reasons described above and as detailed in the response to the following comment below. Therefore, potential impacts to sensitive animal species are not considered significant under CEQA. CDFW Comment 2. Impacts to Sensitive Natural Communities [Alluvial Fan Sage Scrubl and Lack of City Mitigation Strategy/Conservation Program: The LSA letter report states that the project site supports two primary vegetation communities, one of which includes the presence of scale broom (Lepidospartum squamatum). The letter report, however, incorrectly classifies the community as California buckwheat scrub. Sawyer et al. (2009) has categorized vegetation communities with the presence of >1 % cover of Lepidospartum squamatum as scale broom scrub. Based on the presence of scale broom within the project site the Department has determined that this vegetation community is likely classified as Lepidospartum alliance, and not Buckwheat scrub. Scale broom scrub has an overall rarity ranking of G3 S3, with some associations within the scale broom scrub alliance (i.e., Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub) as rare as G1 S1 .1. The Department considers all associations with state ranks of S1 -S3 to be highly imperiled. Based on cumulative impacts within the immediate vicinity of this project site APN 1089-031-37[10.18 acres], located immediately south is currently under development; and APN 1090-331-05 [31.99 acres] located south of Base Line Road is proposed for development under the City's "Day Creek Square" project [SCH No. 2017051019]), the Department considers the removal of up to 4 acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub to be a significant impact (the LSA letter report fails to quantify the acreage of Lepidospartum alliance). LSA Response to Comment #2: As originally determined during the field visit in October 2016, and subsequently reconfirmed during the May 12, 2017 site revisit, hairy yerba santa (Eriodictyon trichocalyx) and California buckwheat (Edogonum fascicu/atum) are the dominant plant species occurring on the proposed project site. This can be attributed to historical disturbances occurring onsite as well as related to surrounding development, isolation from larger blocks of native habitat, and the lack of active soil transport on the site. Neither of these dominant plant species is intrinsically rare or valuable. D1—Pg4 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2016-00966 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 5 Subsequently, LSA maintains the habitat onsite is best categorized as a monotypic stand of hairy yerba santa and as California buckwheat scrub (Eriogonum fasciculatum Shrubland Alliance). The hairy yerba santa and California buckwheat scrub habitats found on site are not considered suitable for the long term preservation of the non -listed sensitive species discussed in the response to Comment 1 above. Again, the habitat found onsite lacks connectivity with Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region by extensive development, and preservation of the habitat on this site would not contribute to the conservation effort of larger blocks of Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region. Thus impacts to the habitats and any associated special status species potentially present are not considered significant under CEQA. Staff Comments to LSA's Responses: Staff has reviewed LSA's responses to the issued raised by California Department of Fish and Wildlife and their conclusion that the impacts to special status animal species and their habitat are not considered significant under CEQA. Based on this finding, staff concludes that the original determination made in the Initial Study, which was circulated on April 3, 2017, is adequate and that no changes or additional mitigations measures are necessary to address the issues raised by CDFW. CEQA Section 15073.5 (Recirculation of a Negative Declaration Prior to Adoption) states that recirculation of the Initial Study is not required when new information is added to the mitigated negative declaration which merely clarified, amplifies or makes insignificant modifications to the negative declaration. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to the project, the project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the objectives of the Development Code. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed related development under review by the Planning Commission will increase the value of the project site and the City's annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent also will be responsible for paying one- time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services. 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. No correspondence has been received in response to these notices.

BROWN JR., Governor 0s'ar 4, CHARLTON H. BONHAM, Director Subject: Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project State Clearinghouse No. 2017041029 Dear Mr. van der Zwaag: The Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Day Creek Senior Villas Project (project) [State Clearinghouse No. 20170410291, The Department is responding to the IS/MND as a Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources (California Fish and Game Code Sections 711.7 and 1802, and the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA] Guidelines Section 15386), and as a Responsible Agency regarding any discretionary actions (CEQA Guidelines Section 15381), such as the issuance of a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (California Fish and Game Code Sections 1600 et seq.) and/or a California Endangered Species Act (CESA) Permit for Incidental Take of Endangered, Threatened, and/or Candidate species (California Fish and Game Code Sections 2080 and 2080.1). The project proposes the development of a 140-unit multiple -family housing project on four acres located west of Day Creek Boulevard, at the terminus of Firehouse Court in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, County of San Bernardino; within Assessor Parcel Number (APN): 1089-031-36. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Department has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and the habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (i.e., biological resources); and administers the Natural Community Conservation Planning Program (NCCP Program). The Department offers the comments and recommendations presented below to assist the City of Rancho nseming California's Wirdlife Since 1870 EXHIBIT B D1-Pg7 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 2 Cucamonga (City; the CEQA lead agency) in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the project's significant, or potentially significant, impacts on biological resources. Biological Resources and Impacts Following review of the IS and MIND, the Department is concerned by the lack of biological analysis included in the IS, and recommends that the IS and MND be revised to include a thorough and detailed analysis of the project's potential impacts on biological resources, and recirculated for further public review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15073.5. We offer the comments and recommendations presented below to assist the City in adequately identifying and mitigating the project's significant, or potentially significant, impacts on biological resources: Special Status Wildlife Species The IS identifies several special -status wildlife species with potential to occur on the project site, including Coast horned lizard, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and San Diego desert woodrat, but states that there is a low likelihood for these species to occur due to the habitat conditions on site. The IS further states that no small mammal burrows were observed on site. Given that the LSA letter report "Results of Biological Resources Assessment Survey for the Day Creek Villas Affordable Senior Apartments Project (LSA Project No. NCO1601)" dated October 27, 2016, states that the general biological resources survey was conducted for a total period of only 50 minutes (between 11:30 AM and 12:20 PM on October 19, 2016) the Department questions the adequacy of the pedestrian survey and whether the entire project site was appropriately assessed for the presence of sensitive species. The Department is also concerned that the IS fails to identify the potential for Los Angeles pocket mouse (LAPM) to occur onsite, particularly as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has documented the occurrence of LAPM within close proximity to the project site. Given the limited assessment completed onsite, and the documented occurrence of LAPM within close proximity, the Department recommends the completion of focused special -status species surveys, including small mammal trapping surveys. A 50-minute walk -over of a project site does not represent an adequate biological assessment, and the Department is concerned with the City's determination that no focused surveys are warranted. The Department requests that appropriate focused, species -specific surveys be conducted prior to recirculation of the CEQA document, and that the revised and recirculated document include the survey results. The revised document should also contain a thorough and detailed analysis of the project's potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts on biological resources, and appropriately specific, adequate, feasible, and enforceable mitigation measures to reduce the potential impacts to a level that is less than significant. To assist with review, an accompanying map or maps showing the areas of impact and any proposed mitigation locations should also be included. If special -status species are discovered on -site, the Department is available to u n- Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 3 assist the City in identifying appropriate mitigation measures prior to recirculating the CEQA document. Special Status Plant Soecies The IS also identifies special status plant species with potential to occur on the project site, including Parry's spineflower and mesa horkelia. However, despite the identification of suitable vegetation and/or soils, focused botanical surveys of the project area were not completed. Instead, the IS/MND concludes that because the site is disturbed, there is a low likelihood of these species being present. The LSA letter report (page 5) also concludes that "due to the small size of the proposed project site, existing disturbances, and proximity to surrounding development, impacts to these sensitive species are not considered significant." Because the IS/MND fails to fully evaluate the potential presence of these species within the project area, the Department finds the City's aforementioned conclusions to be flawed. Further, mesa horkelia, and Parry's spineflower are listed as California Native Plant Society (CNPS) 1 B.1 species, meaning that they are seriously endangered in California. The CNPS states that CNPS 1 B.1 species "meet the definitions of the California Endangered Species Act of the California Department of Fish and Game Code, and are eligible for state listing. Impacts to these species or their habitat must be analyzed during preparation of environmental documents relating to CEQA, or those considered to be functionally equivalent to CEQA, as they meet the definition of Rare or Endangered under CEQA Guidelines §15125; (c) and/or §15380." In order to provide a complete description of the baseline condition of the project area the Department recommends that focused surveys following the Department's 2009 Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Communities be conducted during the appropriate times of year, and that the results of this assessment be included in the CEQA document prior to adoption of the MND. If special -status plant populations are observed, the MND should include appropriate avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures to address potential impacts. Id1111IMM11OT 17:F1710 The LSA letter report states that the project site supports two primary vegetation communities, one of which includes the presence of scale broom (Lepidospartum squamatum). The letter report, however, incorrectly classifies the community as California buckwheat scrub. Sawyer et al. (2009) has categorized vegetation communities with the presence of >1 % cover of Lepidospartum squamatum as scale broom scrub. Based on the presence of scale broom within the project site the Department has determined that this vegetation community is likely classified as Lepidospartum alliance, and not Buckwheat scrub. Scale broom scrub has an overall rarity ranking of G3 S3, with some associations within the scale broom scrub alliance D1—Pg9 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 4 (i.e., Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub) as rare as G1 S1.1. The Department considers all associations with state ranks of S1-S3 to be highly imperiled. Based on cumulative impacts within the immediate vicinity of this project site (APN 1089-031-37 [10.18 acres], located immediately south is currently under development; and APN 1090-331-05 [31.99 acres] located south of Base Line Road is proposed for development under the City's "Day Creek Square" project [SCH No. 2017051019]), the Department considers the removal of up to 4 acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub to be a significant impact (the LSA letter report fails to quantify the acreage of Lepidospartum alliance). In order to reduce the impacts to alluvial fan scale broom scrub to a level that is less than significant, the Department recommends that the City require the project proponent to purchase, conserve in perpetuity, and enhance/restore similar habitat within the watershed. While the amount (acreage) of habitat that is appropriate will vary based on the location of the proposed mitigation area, the amount and type of enhancement and/or restoration proposed, and whether (a) the project site and (b) the proposed mitigation site is occupied by special -status species, the Department recommends that the mitigation site include no less than twelve acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub. A higher acreage may be warranted if the proposed mitigation site requires little enhancement, is located far away from the project site (i.e., within a separate watershed), is not occupied by or available to special status species, and/or possesses other attributes that diminish its long term conservation value. The Department is available to assist the City in evaluating the proposed mitigation prior to the document's recirculation. Lack of Citv Mitiaation Strategv/Conservation Proqram The Department is concerned by the cumulative impacts to Lepidospartum alliance habitat and associated species assemblages within the City's sphere of influence. Urban development has resulted in alluvial sage scrub to become eliminated or isolated to stands along streams and, outwashes on major alluvial fans throughout much of Rancho Cucamonga. Even degraded or isolated patches of alluvial scrub vegetation still retain a distinct characteristic given their relation to flood -deposited alluvia and the species associated with this habitat type. Multiple species occurrences have been mapped within this habitat type in Rancho Cucamonga using GIS by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The database was initially created to map locations of federally threatened and endangered species which require a survey report under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act. Recently, the database has been expanded to include a few other species of interest, including the Los Angeles pocket mouse, a California Species of Special Concern (CSSC). Section § 15380 of the CEQA Guidelines clearly indicates that species of special concern should be included in an analysis of project impacts. Using the USFWS GIS data, it was determined that since 1997, 19 known LAPM occurrences have been recorded within the Day and Etiwanda Creek watershed between Interstate 10 and D1—Pg10 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 5 Wilson Avenue. Of the 19 sites, 14 have been developed, one (1) is proposed for commercial buildings, and three (3) remain open space but may have various maintenance commitments (e.g. Burlington Northern, Southern California Edison, and San Bernardino County Flood Control District). The MND does not include survey data indicating whether the above -listed species occurs on -site, an analysis of the number of individuals expected to occupy the site, or an estimation of the local and regional population of the species. Focused species - specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable, are required. Please provide a cumulative effects analysis developed as described under CEQA Guidelines § 15130 and if appropriate, a detailed mitigation proposal to offset the temporal, permanent, and cumulative impacts to this species. The Department also recommends expanding the cumulative effects analysis to include impacts to Lepidospartum alliance habitat within the City's sphere of influence. Finally, the Department recommends that the City develop and implement a comprehensive mitigation/conservation strategy as soon as possible to offset the continuing loss of these sensitive public trust resources. Department Conclusions and Further Coordination The Department appreciates the opportunity to comment on the IS/MND for the City Creek Senior Villas Project (SCH No. 2017041029), and we request that the City of Rancho Cucamonga address the Department's comments and concerns prior to adoption of the MND.

CDFW Comment 1. Sensitive Plant and Animal Species. The Initial Study (IS) identifies several special -status wildlife species with potential to occur on the project site, including Coast horned lizard, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and San Diego desert wood rat, but states that there is a low likelihood for these species to occur due to the habitat conditions on site.

LSA maintains that the habitat on site is considered to be of low value for the subject species because the site is small in size (4 acres), has previously been subjected to onsite activities resulting in the degradation of native vegetation diversity and quality, and is isolated from other similar habitats in the region as a result of extensive surrounding development. Review of historical aerials from as early as 2004 (Google Earth) shows the site has intermittently been subjected to repeated ground disturbance and clearing of vegetation, and is isolated from fluvial events as a result of development and the channelization of Day Creek.

Therefore, potential impacts to sensitive animal species are not considered significant under CEQA. Please note, in most cases it is not standard practice to estimate specific numbers of individuals of lower level special -status species in CEQA documents. Such estimates are sometimes, but not always made for listed or endangered species, or some plant populations where it is practical to generate that Information. Furthermore, it is not necessary or particularly helpful to provide such detailed information to decision makers in cases such as this one. The description provided in this case is considered adequate. Existing and developing regional habitat conservation plans including the Upper Santa Ana River Wash Habitat Conservation Plan, North Fontana Interim MSHCP Policy and other local conservation and preservation plans (e.g., City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan) are designed for the long- term conservation of these and other species associated with viable RASS habitat.

Response. As originally determined during the field visit in October 2016, and subsequently reconfirmed during the May 12, 2017 site revisit, hairy yerba santa (Eriodictyon trichocolyx) and California buckwheat (Eriogonum fosciculatum) are the dominant plant species occurring on the proposed project site. This can be attributed to historical disturbances occurring onsite as well as related to surrounding development, isolation from larger blocks of native habitat, and the lack of active soil transport on the site. Neither of these dominant plant species is intrinsically rare or valuable. 5/17f17 iR:\NCO160!\Pesponse rofommenu\Response to CommeMs COFW 05101T ,.OsW 051]1] fmal.doui D1—Pg15 LSA Vegetation mapping concluded that the four acre project site consists of 2.6 acres of California Buckwheat scrub, 0.8 acre of hairy yerba Santa, and a mature canyon live oak occupying 0.12 acre. Individual scalebroom (Lepidospartum squamatum) were noted and mapped on the site during the May 2017 site revisit. scalebroom was associated within the hairy yerba santa vegetation on the project site. Cumulatively, the scalebroom population equates to approximately 0.025 acres, or 0.7% of the vegetative cover onsite. scalebroom cover within the stand of yerba santa is 2.1%. The Scale broom Alliance is described as a vegetation community where "Lepidospartum squamatum is dominant, co -dominant, or conspicuous in the shrub canopy..:..

Although scale broom occupies approximately 2% of the vegetation cover within the stand of yerba santa (but not within the buckwheat scrub or the overall vegetation), and alluvial soils are present within the study area, the site is highly disturbed and isolated from the larger, functioning alluvial floodplain. As a result, the site is not a functioning alluvial ecosystem. Further, the lack of alluvial habitat functionality is evident in the overall quality and health of the scale broom observed onsite, as a majority of the plants were found to be in a declining state with dead or dying branches. Subsequently, LSA maintains the habitat onsite is best categorized as a monotypic stand of hairy yerba santa and as California buckwheat scrub (Eriogonum fasciculatum Shrubland Alliance). Due to the reasons discussed above, the hairy yerba santa and California buckwheat scrub habitats found on site are not considered suitable for the long term preservation of the non -listed sensitive species discussed in the response to Comment 1 above. Again, the habitat found onsite lacks connectivity with Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region by extensive development, and preservation of the habitat on this site would not contribute to the conservation effort of larger blocks of Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region. Thus, impacts to the habitats and any associated special status species potentially present, are not considered significant under CECtA. 5/17/17(R:1MCO36011Responu to to Comments COFW 051011 rm,aJ051717 fiml doox( 5 D1—Pg16 RESOLUTION NO. 17-01 A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2016-00966, A REQUEST TO REMOVE AN ON -SITE TREE THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A DESIGNATED LOCAL LANDMARK RELATED TO THE SITE PLAN AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF A 140-UNIT AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON 4 ACRES OF LAND WITHIN THE LOW -MEDIUM (LM) DISTRICT (4 — 8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) OF THE VICTORIA PLANNED COMMUNITY, LOCATED AT THE TERMINUS OF FIREHOUSE COURT AND WEST OF DAY CREEK BOULEVARD; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF — APN: 1089-031-36. A. Recitals. 1. National Community Renaissance of California filed an application for the approval of Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2016-00966, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Certificate of Appropriateness request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of May 2017, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and continued said hearing to May 24, 2017. 3. On May 24, 2017, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted the continued hearing on the application and concluded the hearing on that date. 4. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved bythe Historic Preservation 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 May 10, and May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located at the terminus of Fire House Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard in the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and b. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) District and Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan ; to the north is D1—Pg17 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-01 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2016-00966 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA. MAY 24, 2017 Page 2 the Pacific Electric trail and single-family residences within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and C. The applicant is requesting to develop a 140-unit affordable rental senior housing project on 4 acres of land; and d. A large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree is located at the southeast corner of the site that was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. Removal of the tree requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation Commission, a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to modify General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the tree from a map illustrating the location of all the historic resources in the City and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965); and e. Development Code Section 17.16.080 (Tree Removal Permit) requires that removal of a tree that was previously designated as a Historic Landmark shall include the approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Certificate of Appropriateness will remove the Historic Landmark designation from the subject Canyon Live Oak tree due to the declining health of the subject tree. 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. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a Historic Resource within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act. The subject Historic Resource, a Canyon Live Oak tree, cannot be preserved due to the declining condition of the tree and has been recommend for removal by the applicant's and City's arborists. b. The project is consistent with the purposes of this Chapter. Section 17.18.080 provides for the removal of historic resources where it has been determined that removal is necessary to correct an unsafe or dangerous condition. In this case historic resource, a Canyon Live Oak tree, is in declining health and removal is necessary to correct an unsafe condition. C. The project is consistent with the Secretary's Standards. The project is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards as they are directed to the preservation of historic property. The subject Historic Resource is a Canyon Live Oak tree and would not be covered by the Secretary of the Interior Standards. d. All efforts to restore, rehabilitate, or relocate the resource have been exhausted. The applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved and is recommended for removal and replacement with a large specimen tree of the same species. e. Restoration or rehabilitation would require extensive alterations that would render the resource unworthy of preservation. The subject Canyon Live Oak tree is in declining health and cannot be preserved. D1—Pg18 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-01 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DRC2016-00966 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA. MAY 24, 2017 Page 3 f. Failure to demolish the resource would adversely affect or detract from the character of the neighborhood. The subject Canyon Live Oak tree is in declining health and cannot be preserved. The applicant will plant a large specimen tree of the same species near the location of the existing tree. 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 Historic Preservation Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration 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 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 Historic Preservation 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 Historic Preservation Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Historic Preservation Commission. Based on these findings, the Historic Preservation Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. C. The Historic Preservation 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 Historic Preservation Commission therefore recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Historic Preservation Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the Certificate of Appropriateness application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.

If the pre - construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre -construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid Impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground -disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre -construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls. During the non -breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non- migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre - construction survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines. During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 41. 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 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.

Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. BACKGROUND: This item was previously scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing on May 10, 2017. On the day of the Planning Commission hearing, the Planning Department received a letter (Exhibit M) from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in response to the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration that was circulated on April 3, 2017. The letter provided comments and recommendations relating to the Biological Resources section of the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff requested a continuance to allow the applicant the time to adequately prepare a response to CDFW's comments/recommendations. These comments and recommendations are discussed in further detail within the Environmental Assessment section below. The applicant and the applicant's biologist have since worked with staff and submitted a response that addresses the concerns described in the letter. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission take the following actions: • Recommend the City Council adopt the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts. • Recommend the City Council approve General Plan Amendment DRC2016-00964 and Density Bonus Agreement DRC2017-00156. Approve Design Review DRC2016-00814, Variance DRC2017-00032 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00965.

Proiect Density: 35 dwelling units per acre. B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Pacific Electric Trail & Single -Family Residences; Low (LM) District (8 — 14 dwelling units per acre), Victoria Community Plan South - Approved Commercial Center; Village Commercial (VC) District, Victoria Community Plan East - Single -Family Residences; Low (L) District (8 — 14 dwelling units per acre), Victoria Community plan West - San Bernardino County Flood Control District Maintenance Yard; Low Medium (LM) District (8 —14 dwelling units per acre) & Flood Control/Utility Corridor C. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Medium (LM) North - Low Medium (LM) South - Neighborhood Commercial (NC) East - Low Medium (LM) West - Low Medium (LM) & Utility Corridor (UC) D. Site Characteristics: The project site is generally rectangular in shape and is approximately 340 Feet from east to west and 600 feet from north to south. The site drains roughly from north to south, with a grade change of approximately 10 feet from the north to south property lines. The site is highly disturbed with a total vegetation cover of approximately 60 percent. There is a large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree located at the southeast corner of the site. ANALYSIS: A. Background: In September 2014, the Housing Successor Agency (HAS) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with a developer for the 14 acre site located at the northwest corner of Base Line Road and Day Creek Boulevard. The land transaction provided for the sale of the 14 acre site with the intent that 10 acres would be developed as a neighborhood commercial shopping center currently under construction and 4 acres would be used to develop affordable senior housing. The property includes a recorded covenant that requires it to be built for affordable senior housing purposes. The City, in its capacity as the HAS, desires to convey the property to Community Renaissance of California (Day Creek Senior Housing Partners, LP) for development of a 140-unit, affordable senior housing. The proposed project will consist of 139 affordable senior housing units plus one manager unit. B. General: The applicant is requesting to develop a 140-unit, affordable senior rental housing project on 4 acres of land at the terminus of Firehouse Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village). The project will take vehicle and pedestrian access from Firehouse Court, with a secondary gated Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) provided to the future commercial center to the south. The project will also provide a gated pedestrian connection to the Pacific Electric Trail E1—E5Pg3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA DRC2016-00964, DR DRC2016-00814, DBA DRC2017-00156, VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 & TRPDRC2016-00965 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 4 and a pedestrian connection from Firehouse Court to the new commercial center under construction to the south. C. Zoning: The land use and zoning designation of the project site is Low -Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan, which permits 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The Victoria Community Plan includes a provision permitting the zoning designation to be increased by up to 2 density ranges in order to provide plan flexibility. The project site can thus be increased in density from Low -Medium (LM) District to either Medium (M) District (8 —14 dwelling units per acre) or Medium - High (MH) District (14 — 24 dwelling units per acre). The Victoria Community Plan also provides an incentive to build affordable housing, which awards property owners' one bonus unit in density for every affordable dwelling unit provided. The project will be 100 percent affordable and is thus eligible for a 100 percent increase in the permitted density level, or between 24 to 48 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is 35 dwelling units per acre. D. Affordability. Concessions and Density Bonus Agreement: Development Code Chapter 17.46 (Density Bonuses, Incentives and Concessions) provides incentives for the production of affordable housing, including the opportunity to provide reductions in the related development standards. The applicant can request up to 3 concessions based on the affordability factor of the project. In this case, the applicant is requesting 2 concessions, a reduction in the required number of parking spaces and a reduction in the size of the private recreation areas (decks). Density bonuses and concessions are considered in conjunction with any necessary development entitlements for the project and approved by a Density Bonus Agreement. The designated approving authority for the Density Bonus Agreement is the City Council. The required Regulatory Agreement and Tax Credit restrictions for the project will require affordability covenants for a term of 55-years on 139 of the 140 one and two bedroom units. The affordability restrictions for the 139 units are as follows: 15 units will be available to eligible senior households whose income does not exceed 30% of the area median income; 49 units will be available for those whose income does not exceed 45% of the area median income; 43 units available to those whose income does not exceed 50% of area median income; and 32 units available for those whose income does not exceed 60% of area median income. Below is a summary of the unit breakdown by income restriction and the estimated affordable rent, exclusive of a utility allowance. As a comparison, current market rents in Rancho Cucamonga average $1,350 for a one -bedroom unit and $1,700 for a two -bedroom unit. .. d Income_ - o Offered income Imurri.. monthly rent 30 Percent 15 $15,600 $359 45 Percent 49 $23,400 $539 50 Percent 43 $26,000 $599 60 Percent 1 32 1 $31,200 $719 'Rents are based on one bedroom units.

The proposed project will also include related facilities, such as access to the Pacific Electric Trail, and a community center to benefit and support the residential development. In addition to providing low income, affordable senior housing, the construction of this project will provide additional jobs, encourage new investment, and improve the economic and physical conditions in the city. E. Canyon Live Oak Tree and Tree Removal Permit: The large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree located at the southeast corner of the site was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. Removal of the tree requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation Commission, a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to modify General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the tree from a map illustrating the location of all the historic resources in the City and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965). Staff supports the removal of the tree due to the tree's declining condition. The applicant will plant a 72-inch box size canyon live oak tree to replace the existing tree. F. General Plan Amendment: General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) (Exhibit J) illustrates the location of the Designated Historic Sites in the City including the Canyon Live Oak Tree on the project site. General Plan Amendment DRC2016-00964 will amend General Plan Figure LU- 8 to remove the subject tree from this figure. G. Certificate of Appropriateness: Development Code Section 17.16.080 (Tree Removal Permit) requires that removal of a tree that was previously designated as a Historic Landmark shall include the approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Certificate of Appropriateness will remove the Historic Landmark designation from the subject Canyon Live Oak tree due to the declining health of the subject tree. A condition of approval has been added requiring the developer to install a plaque commemorating the historic tree. H. Design: The proposed development has a Craftsman architectural design theme that includes the use of board and batten siding, stone veneer, wood framed awnings and trellis structures, flat tile roofs and exposed rafter tails. These design elements are carried to each elevation, including the inner courtyard and a small 595 square foot detached maintenance building. The project includes both wall and roof plane articulation along with a wood framed porte-cochere at the main entrance. All of the proposed 140 rental units will be in a single building on 3 floors and are built around a central courtyard. This includes 131 one bedroom units that range in size from 617 to 701 square feet and 9 two bedroom units that are 894 square feet in size. The development includes one unit that will be occupied by the on -site manager. The central courtyard includes a pool and spa, BBQ facilities, a fire pit, along with multiple fire places and lounge areas. A community room, warming area, multi -purpose room and technology areas are provided within the building. Shared laundry facilities are provided on each floor. Development Criteria: The project complies with all development criteria of the Victoria Community Plan and the Development Code, except for the 2 concessions for a reduction in the parking and private open space requirements and a request for a wall height Variance. The minimum side and rear setbacks provided for the carports is 6 feet (5 feet required) and the front E1—E5 Pg5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA DRC2016-00964, DR DRC2016-00814, DBA DRC2017-00156, VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 & TRPDRC2016-00965 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 6 setback is 96 feet (15 feet required). The building height is 39 feet — 4 inches, which is below the permitted 40 feet. Total private and common open space is 40 percent (35 percent required) and the total lot coverage is 24 percent (50 percent maximum). Each unit includes a private deck ranging in size from 81 square feet (upper floor) and 107 square feet (ground floor). The required upper floor deck size is 100 square feet and the required ground floor deck size is 100 square feet. Each deck also includes a 130 cubic foot storage area, greater than the required 125 cubic foot storage area. The applicant is requesting a concession for the deck size deficiency. The project complies with the landscape requirements including the parking lot landscaping and the tree planting requirement (200 trees). The perimeter of the project site includes columnar trees to screen the view of the adjacent maintenance yard. The replacement Canyon Live Oak tree (72- inch box) will be located directly south of the main entrance, creating a focal point and will include a seat wall and the plaque commemorating the historic Canyon Live Oak tree. J. Parking: The project provides 119 parking stalls, 82 of which are in carport stalls and 37 in uncovered stalls. Projects that provide affordable housing units are required to provide 1 parking space for 1 bedroom units and 2 parking spaces for 2 bedroom units, which is inclusive of guest parking. This translates into a parking requirement of 149 parking spaces. The proposed 119 parking spaces is 30 parking spaces below the minimum requirement (a 20 percent reduction). Projects with affordable units may request a parking reduction as an incentive. The applicant has submitted a parking reduction request that includes a case study of 5 affordable senior housing projects managed by the applicant (National CORE). The average parking ratio of the projects studied was 0.92 stalls per unit and the average parking utilization was 63 percent. Additionally, there are a number of transportation options available for seniors in the City that reduce vehicle use. The project site is in close proximity to a transit stop and adjacent to many services, further reducing the parking demand. The applicant is requesting a parking ratio of 0.85 stalls per unit and is confident that the proposed parking ratio will adequately meet the projects parking demand. A 63 percent parking utilization based on the required 149 parking spaces, would be a parking demand of approximately 94 parking spaces, which translates into a parking buffer of approximately 25 parking spaces. K. Variance: The project includes property line walls that are over the 6-foot maximum permitted wall height. The north property line wall includes a retaining wall that ranges in height from 4 to 6 feet topped by a 6-foot high free standing wall, for a calculated height of 8 to 9 feet. Additionally, there is a 2.5-foot retaining wall proposed adjacent to the existing 6-foot high wall between the project site and the adjacent City fire station. In both cases, the additional wall height will only be visible on the applicant's side of the wall. The applicant has submitted a Variance for the additional wall height (DRC2017-00032). The findings of facts below support the necessary findings, which are required by the City's Development Code: Finding: Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in a difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Code. Fact: The increase in wall height is necessary due to a 4 to 6 foot grade change between the project site and the Pacific Electric Tail to the north and due to the necessity for a 2.5 foot retaining wall along the east property line, adjacent to an existing 6 foot high free standing wall. Without the E1—E5 Pg6 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA DRC2016-00964, DR DRC2016-00814, DBA DRC2017-00156, VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 & TRPDRC2016-00965 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 7 Variance, the applicant would be required to step the retaining walls, reducing the developable portion of the lot and the number of units that could be constructed. Finding: There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. Fact: There is an up to 6-foot grade change between the project site and the Pacific Electric Trail to the north which requires the construction of a property line retaining wall. There is also a 2.5 foot grade change along the east property line which requires the placement of a retaining wall directly adjacent to an existing 6 foot high free standing wall. Finding: Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone. Fact: Without an increase in the permitted wall heights, the developable portion of the project site would be reduced in order to step the retaining walls. In turn, reducing the number of units that could be constructed on the site. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Fact: It is common practice to grant a Variance for an increase in property line wall height where there is a grade change between a project site and the adjacent parcels of land. In this case, there is an up to 6 foot grade change along the north property line and 2.5 foot grade change along the east property line. The additional wall height will only be visible on the applicant's side of the wall. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Fact: The increased wall heights will not negatively impact the surrounding property owners as the additional wall height will only be visible on the project site. L. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC) on March 14, 2017. The DRC recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission with the addition of two minor design changes, the addition of trellis structures over select windows and the addition of board and batten siding on the south elevation. The applicant was accepting of the proposed design changes and the attached plan have incorporated these changes. M. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) on March 14, 2017. N. Neighborhood Meeting: On March 1, 2017, a neighborhood meeting was conducted by the applicant at Goldy S. Lewis Community Center (11200 Base Line Road). No residents attended the meeting.

SB18 and AB52 Tribal Consultation: In conformance with California State Bill (SB) 18, on November 9, 2016, staff sent a Tribal Consultation Request of the proposed project to a list of tribal communities provided by the Native American Heritage Commission. A letter dated December 5, 2016, was received by staff from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation requesting that a certified Native American monitor be on -site during any and all ground disturbances. Staff also sent out a Tribal Consultation request in conformance with California Assembly Bill (AB) 52, on February 23, 2017, of the proposed project to the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians and the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians. The City has not been contacted to date in regards to the (AB) 52 notification letter. A Mitigation Measure was added to the Initial Study requiring that a Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation certified Native American be on site during any and all ground disturbances. P. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study (IS) 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 Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Agricultural Resources, Cultural Resources, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Noise, 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 and was circulated on April 3, 2017. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration at a Planning Commission hearing that was scheduled for May 10 2017. Because of a letter (Exhibit M) received on May 10, 2017 from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), staff requested a continuance to the next Planning Commission hearing date of May 24, 2017 to allow the applicant the time to prepare a response to the concerns described in the letter. The applicant and their consultant (LSA) have worked with staff to address CDFW's concerns, which includes the project's potential to impact sensitive species and natural communities. Below is a summary of each of CDFW's concerns, followed by LSA's response to those concerns. CDFW Comment #1. Sensitive Plant and Animal Species: CDFW raised concerns that the Initial Study (IS) identifies several special -status wildlife species with potential to occur on the project site, including Coast horned lizard, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and San Diego desert wood rat, but states that there is a low likelihood for these species to occur due to the habitat conditions on site. The IS further states that no small mammal burrows were observed on site. CDFW is concerned that the IS fails to identify the potential for the Los Angeles pocket mouse (LAPM) to occur onsite, particularly as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has documented the occurrence of LAPM within close proximity to the project site. The IS also identifies special status plant species with potential to occur on the project site, including Parry's spineflower and mesa horkelia. However, despite the identification of suitable vegetation and/or soils, focused botanical surveys of the project area were not completed. Instead, the IS/MND concludes that because the site is disturbed, there is a low likelihood of these species being present. The LSA letter report (page 5) also concludes that "due to the small size of the proposed project site, existing disturbances, and- proximity to surrounding development, impacts to these sensitive species are not considered significant." El—E5 Pg8 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA DRC2016-00964, DR DRC2016-00814, DBA DRC2017-00156, VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 & TRPDRC2016-00965 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 9 LSA Response to Comment #1: LSA maintains that the habitat on site is considered to be of low value for the subject species because the site is small in size (4 acres), has previously been subjected to onsite activities resulting in the degradation of native vegetation diversity and quality, and is isolated from other similar habitats in the region as a result of extensive surrounding development. Review of historical aerials from as early as 2004 (Google Earth) shows the site has intermittently been subjected to repeated ground disturbance and clearing of vegetation, and is isolated from fluvial events as a result of development and the channelization of Day Creek. As a result, native vegetation diversity has been altered. A re-evaluation of the project site was conducted by LSA Senior Biologist/Botanist, Stanley Spencer on May 12, 2017, between the hour of 8:30 am and 12:30 pm. During the site visit, Mr. Spencer conducted a focused rare plant survey for listed species and bloom periods. No sensitive plant species were observed and considered absent from the project site. Mr. Spencer also searched for sensitive animal species. No sensitive animal species or small mammal burrows were observed. However, because a trapping study and focused survey for other sensitive species (e.g., Coast horned lizard) were not conducted, it is very unlikely that individual sensitive animal species occur on the project site. Although a few individual sensitive animal species are very unlikely to occur on the project site, the project site would not support their long term, continued existence because habitat on site is considered to be of low value for the sensitive species due to the reasons described above and as detailed in the response to the following comment below. Therefore, potential impacts to sensitive animal species are not considered significant under CEQA. Lack of City Mitigation Strategy/Conservation Program: The LSA letter report states that the project site supports two primary vegetation communities, one of which includes the presence of scale broom (Lepidospartum squamatum). The letter report, however, incorrectly classifies the community as California buckwheat scrub. Sawyer et al. (2009) has categorized vegetation communities with the presence of >1 % cover of Lepidospartum squamatum as scale broom scrub. Based on the presence of scale broom within the project site the Department has determined that this vegetation community is likely classified as Lepidospartum alliance, and not Buckwheat scrub. Scale broom scrub has an overall rarity ranking of G3 S3, with some associations within the scale broom scrub alliance (i.e., Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub) as rare as G1 S1 .1. The Department considers all associations with state ranks of S1 -S3 to be highly imperiled. Based on cumulative impacts within the immediate vicinity of this project site APN 1089-031-37[10.18 acres], located immediately south is currently under development; and APN 1090-331-05 [31.99 acres] located south of Base Line Road is proposed for development under the City's "Day Creek Square" project [SCH No. 2017051019]), the Department considers the removal of up to 4 acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub to be a significant impact (the LSA letter report fails to quantify the acreage of Lepidospartum alliance). LSA Response to Comment #2: As originally determined during the field visit in October 2016, and subsequently reconfirmed during the May 12, 2017 site revisit, hairy yerba santa (Eriodictyon trichocalyx) and California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) are the dominant plant species occurring on the proposed project site. This can be attributed to historical disturbances occurring onsite as well as related to surrounding development, isolation from larger blocks of native habitat, and the E1—E5 Pg9 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA DRC2016-00964, DR DRC2016-00814, DBA DRC2017-00156, VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 & TRPDRC2016-00965 COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 10 lack of active soil transport on the site. Neither of these dominant plant species is intrinsically rare or valuable. Subsequently, LSA maintains the habitat onsite is best categorized as a monotypic stand of hairy yerba santa and as California buckwheat scrub (Eriogonum fasciculatum Shrubland Alliance). The hairy yerba santa and California buckwheat scrub habitats found on site are not considered suitable for the long term preservation of the non -listed sensitive species discussed in the response to Comment 1 above. Again, the habitat found onsite lacks connectivity with Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region by extensive development, and preservation of the habitat on this site would not contribute to the conservation effort of larger blocks of Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region. Thus, impacts to the habitats and any associated special status species potentially present, are not considered significant under CEQA. Staff Comments to LSA's Responses: Staff has reviewed LSA's responses to the issued raised by California Department of Fish and Wildlife and their conclusion that the impacts to special status animal species and their habitat are not considered significant under CEQA. Based on this finding, staff concludes that the original determination made in the Initial Study, which was circulated on April 3, 2017, is adequate and that no changes or additional mitigations measures are necessary to address the issues raised by CDFW. CEQA Section 15073.5 (Recirculation of a Negative Declaration Prior to Adoption) states that recirculation of the Initial Study is not required when new information is added to the mitigated negative declaration which merely clarified, amplifies or makes insignificant modifications to the negative declaration. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to the project, the project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the objectives of the Development Code. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City's annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent also will be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services. The City will benefit from approval of the project with the following: The additional units will help the City meet its regional housing needs (RHNA) requirements, as identified in the Housing Element of the General Plan by providing additional very low, low, and moderate income housing opportunities in the City. The additional units will address a significant and increasing community need for affordable senior housing. The Housing Element notes significant increases in the number of senior households in the City and the special needs of seniors with regard to living on limited incomes and accommodations for accessibility. An estimated 10% of the City's population is aged 65 or older, and an additional 10% of residents are between the ages of 55-65, indicating that the need for senior housing will only continue to increase with time. In addition, 25% of the senior households in the City are extremely low, very low or low income based on data from HUD.

Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Staff provided a project overview to the Committee. Commissioner Macias asked staff whether each lot provided an adequate area for a horse corral that met the required 70-foot buffer from the neighboring residences. He also stated that he wanted staff to provide the Commissioners with an update at the Planning Commission outlining how the future homeowner would be informed about the maximum permitted lot coverage. Staff informed the Committee that each lot would provide the required horse corral area at the required separation distance from the neighboring residences. The applicant, Bryan Avilla, then provided the Committee with a brief overview on the design of the project site and stated that they would provide the new property owners with a disclosure statement outlining the maximum lot coverage. The meeting was then opened for public comment. Joseph Cowan, president of the Alta Loma Riding Club, asked whether project density was calculated from gross lot size and stated that the Alta Loma Riding Club was concerned the project only provided 1 point of access, that the equestrian trail system did not loop and that the lots that were near maximum lot coverage would not be able to construct a covered corral area. Staff stated that lot coverage was calculated from gross lot size, as required by the Development Code. The applicant stated that the stream bed running through the site limited providing a loop trail and that the property owners of the public street to the east were opposed to a street connection with the project. A second member of the public, Mrs. Judith Brennan, asked whether the project would provide an equestrian connection to Carnelian Street and asked whether a horse trail could be provided adjacent to the east property line, so horses and walkers would not be required to walk in the street. Staff stated that the project would provide 2 equestrian connection points to Carnelian Street and would have the applicant investigate whether it was technically possible to provide an equestrian trail along the east property line. The Committee then recommended that the project move forward to the Trail Advisory Committee for their review and to Planning Commission for final review.

Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. Staff provided a project overview to the Committee and raised 2 design issues regarding adding additional pilasters around the pool areas and wood trellis structures to the front elevation of the carriage unit, which are currently a homebuyer's option. The applicant agreed to add the pilasters around the pool area and wants to leave it up to the homeowners as to whether they wanted to purchase the trellis structure to the front elevation of the carriage unit as an option. They went on to state that at a similar project that they recently constructed, no homeowners selected the trellis structure option. The Commissioners agreed with the applicant that the trellis structures would not be required. The Commissioners recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for final review with the addition of pilasters around the pool area. D. ADJOURNMENT 8:56 P.M.

LL1$: LU-R RECORDING REQUESTED BY, AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Attn: City Clerk With a copy to: Day Creek Senior Housing Partners LP c/o National Community Renaissance 9421 Haven Avenue Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Attn: Chief Financial Officer APNs: 1089-031-36 LINE Exempt from Recording Fees Pursuant to Government Code Section 27383 DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT DRC2017-00156 (SENIOR CITIZENS AFFORDABLE HOUSING) THIS DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is dated as of June 7, 2017 and is entered into by and between DAY CREEK SENIOR HOUSING PARTNERS LP, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the "Developer"), and the CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, a California municipal corporation (the "City"). RECITALS A. California Government Code Section 65915(d) provides that in addition to a density bonus (not applicable here), a city may, by agreement with a developer, grant up to three incentives or concessions that the applicant requests when a developer agrees to construct housing for low income households. B. The City has implemented California Government Code Section 65915(d) by enacting Municipal Code Section 17.46.040B, which subject to certain limitations, contemplate such incentives to encourage development of affordable housing for low income households. C. Developer has requested City to consider the approval of a density bonus agreement which will grant concessions for Developer's development of the real property in City on Exhibit "A" ("Site"). The Site is located within the Victoria Planned Community. D. The Developer proposes to construct a senior housing residential project, consisting of low income units, on the Site. Said project contemplated by Developer will require two incentives/concessions from the residential development standards in the Victoria Planned Community. The Developer is not requesting a density bonus for this project. EXHIBIT K -I- E1—E5 Pg40 E. It is the desire of City to encourage developments designed to provide affordable rental units for senior residents of the City. In furtherance of that desire, the City is hereby willing to grant concessions to Developer as provided by the terms of this Agreement, which is a so-called "density bonus agreement' contemplated and required by Municipal Code Chapter 17.46.040. F. City and Developer have entered into a Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement dated in 2016 which obligates the City to sell the Site to Developer subject to certain conditions, including the condition that a "Development Agreement' be approved by City and executed; however, Developer and City have determined that the only purpose of such condition was to provide for the affordable housing incentives described herein, and that Municipal Code Chapter 17.46 requires a so- called "density bonus agreement' under that Chapter, not a statutory development agreement. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: Definitions. In this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meaning: a. "Affordable Rents" shall mean the total charges for rent, utilities, and related services in an amount not to exceed the amount of rent permitted under California Health and Safety Code Section 50053 and Sections 6910 — 6932 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. b. "Area Median Income" shall mean the median income for households in San Bernardino County, California, as published from time to time by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in a manner consistent with the determination of median gross income under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, and as defined in Title 25, California Code of Regulations, Section 6932. In the event that such income determinations are no longer published by HUD, or are not updated for a period of at least 18 months, the City shall either use the income determinations used by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee or may use income determinations that are reasonably similar with respect to methods of calculation to those previously published by HUD. C. "City" is the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California. d. "Project' is the development approved by City comprised of one hundred and forty (140) apartment units, recreational and common area facilities, parking spaces and other amenities on the Site, all as set forth more fully in the site plan for Environmental Assessment and Design Review DRC2016-00814 submitted by Developer and approved by City. The Project is subject to the conditions of approval which are not changed, altered or modified by this Agreement. e. "Qualified Tenants" shall mean households consisting of a person who is sixty- two (62) years of age or older and any qualified permanent residents under the applicable provisions of California Civil Code Section 51.3 and the federal Fair Housing Act (except to the extent the Project utilizes federal funds whose programs have differing definitions for senior projects in which case those definitions will apply), and whose annual household income does not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Area Median Income. 2. Binding Effect of Agreement. The Developer hereby subjects the Site and development thereon to the covenants, reservations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement in perpetuity. The City and the Developer hereby declare their specific intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be -2- 11231-0001\2050037v4.doc El—E5 Pg41 binding upon the Developer's successors and assigns and successor to any interest in the Project. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereinafter executed, covering or conveying the development or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants, reservations and restrictions expressed in this Agreement, regardless of whether such covenants, reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument. 3. Relationship of Parties. It is understood that the contractual relationship between City and Developer is such that Developer is an independent party and is not the agent of City for any purpose whatsoever. 4. Restrictions on Rental Units: Qualified Tenants. It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that the Project has been specifically designed to meet the unique needs of senior tenants. Except for one (1) manager's unit, the apartment units in the Project shall be rented, occupied, leased or subleased to households which include at least one Qualified Tenant. 5. Rental Requirements: Affordable Rent. One hundred and thirty-nine (139) of the units in the Project, not including the one unit for a resident manager, shall be rented, leased or held available for Qualified Tenants at Affordable Rents. 6. No Conversion. During the term hereof, all residential units in the Project shall remain rental units. During the term hereof, no apartment unit in the Project shall be eligible for conversion from rental units to condominiums, townhomes or any other common interest subdivision without consent of the City Council. On -site Manager. A full-time manager shall be provided on the Project site in the manager's unit. 8. Submission of Materials and Annual Review. Prior to occupancy, Developer shall submit to City tenant selection procedures which shall detail the methods which Developer shall use to advertise the availability of apartments in the Project and screening mechanisms which Developer intends to use to limit the occupancy of the apartments to Qualified Tenants, including the income restrictions on some of the units as set forth in this Agreement. On or before April 15 of each year following the first leasing of any apartment (other than the manager's unit), the Developer, or its representative, shall file a certificate of continuing program compliance with the City.

Mapped soils on the site are Tujunga gravelly loamy sand, 0 to 9 percent slopes and Tujunga loamy sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes (WebSoil Survey). Soils observed on the site appeared consistent with this designation and have a sandy soil substrate, that is punctuated with rock and cobble. The site historically was located within an alluvial fan and the soils on site are remnant of this association with the alluvial fan. The site is highly disturbed and the total vegetation cover is approximately 60 percent. The vegetation on site is dominated by a dense monotypic stand of hairy yerba santa at the southwest portion of the while the remainder of the site is primarily bare ground sparsely vegetated by poor quality California buckwhed scrub interspersed with California sagebrush, shortpod mustard, and telegraph weed. Other plants observed on site include scalebroom, chemise mountain mahogany, Mexican elderberry, wedgeleaf ceanothus and deerweed. A mature canyon live oak tree in declining health is west of Firehouse Court along the southern site boundary.

Description of Project: The project is for the development of a 140-unit multiple -family affordable senior housing project on 4 acres of land west of Day Creek Boulevard, at the terminus of Firehouse Court. The project includes a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to amend General Plan Figure LU-8, which shows the location of historic resources within the City. There is a tree on the project site that was given a Historic Landmark Designation. Removal of the tree also requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation Commission and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965). The project also includes a Density Bonus Agreement (DRC2017-00156) and a Variance (DRC2017-00032) to permit walls over 8 feet in height due to a grade difference between the project site and the adjacent properties. The project site is on one parcel of land; APN: 1089-031-36. 4. Project Sponsor Name and Address: National Community Renaissance of California 9421 Haven Avenue Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 5. General Plan Designation: Low Medium (LM) 6. Zoning: Low Medium 7. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The vacant project site is generally rectangular in shape and drains roughly from north to south, with a grade change of approximately 10 feet from the north to south property lines. The site is highly disturbed with a total vegetation cover of approximately 60 percent. There is a large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree located at the southeast corner of the site that is proposed to be removed because of declining health. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) and Open Space (OS) Districts of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan. The project will take vehicle and pedestrian access from Firehouse Court, with a secondary gated Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) provided to the future commercial center to the south. The project will also provide a gated pedestrian connection to the Pacific Electric Trail and a pedestrian connection from Firehouse Court to the new commercial center under construction to the south. The land use and zoning designation of the project site is Low -Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan. 8.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? () () () (✓) b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but () () () (✓) not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or () () () (✓) quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (✓) ( ) which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Comments: a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. Day Creek Boulevard, which runs approximately 300 feet east of the project site, is a special boulevard and a designated view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6. The development of the project site will not negatively impact the Day Creek Boulevard view corridor. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. c) The vacant site is located west of Day Creek Boulevard at the terminus of Firehouse Court and is characterized by a multi -use trail and residential development to the north, by land under construction with a commercial center to the south, by a City fire station to the east and by a San Bernardino County Flood Control District maintenance yard to the west. On -site vegetation consists of Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub and ruderal vegetation. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of the project as the proposed affordable senior apartment units are designed with a similar architectural theme to the adjacent City fire station and the future commercial center to the south and will become a larger part of the community. The project was reviewed by City's Design Review Committee and is consistent with the Development Code and Victoria Community Plan design guidelines. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No.87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution. d) The project would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on site plans which require review for consistency with City standards that require shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.

Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () (✓) ( ) Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (✓) Williamson Act contract? c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause re -zoning of, () () () (✓ ) forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220 (g), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104 (g))? d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest () () () (✓) land to non -forest use? e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (✓) which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -forest use? Comments: a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located west of Day Creek Boulevard at the terminus of Firehouse Court and is characterized by a multi -use trail and residential development to the north, by land under construction with a commercial center to the south, by a City fire station to the east and by a San Bernardino County Flood Control District maintenance yard to the west. 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 the General Plan and the California Department of Conservation Farmland Map 2010. 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 farmland 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5Pg70 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 6 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP g Potentially Signif ant it n Mitigation Than Significant No Impact I Impact 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 west of Day Creek Boulevard at the terminus of Firehouse Court and is characterized by a multi -use trail and residential development to the north, by land under construction with a commercial center to the south, by a City fire station to the east and by a San Bernardino County Flood Control District maintenance yard to the west. The nearest agricultural use, Joseph Filippi Winery and Vineyards, is less than .5 miles to the east of the project site. The project site does not border this agricultural use and the proposed affordable senior apartment units will not negatively impact the operation of this agricultural use. Furthermore, there are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land. Therefore, there is no potential for conversion of forest land to a non -forest use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 3. AIR QUALITY. 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? c) 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 discussed in subsection b, the project would not exceed any air quality standards and would not interfere with the region's ability 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. b) 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 (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PMio), fine particulate matter less CiS►L:15[1 El—E5Pg71 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 Less Than 5ignifcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wan Tnan Significant Mitigation Significant Ne Impact Incor orated Im act Im act than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and particulate matter (PMto and PM2.5) 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 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. SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within a 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 (FCAA) 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 (PMio), 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. Nonattainment 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 Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast Air Basin is in Non -Attainment Status for Ozone, PM10 and PM2.5. 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 Quality Impact Analysis was prepared by Urban Crossroads (September 30, 2016) that utilizes CaIEEMod (Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Exhaust emissions from construction activities envisioned on site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The use of construction equipment on site would result in localized exhaust emissions; however, as shown in the tables above, the amount will not exceed any threshold of significance. 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. Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed project will result in a maximum of approximately 61.74 Ibs of VOC per day (from table 3-4 above) (combined for all construction sources) during construction. Therefore, this VOC emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 Ibs/day. 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 asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less than significant. Based on the discussion above and with implementation of the following Best Available Control Measures (BACM) identified in the Air Quality Impact Analysis (Urban Crossroads; September 30, 2016) as mitigation measures, short-term, construction impacts will be less -than -significant: Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg74 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Im act Incorporated Impact Im ac1 1) All clearing, grading, earth -moving, or excavation activities shall cease when winds exceed 25mph per SCAQMD guidelines in order to limit fugitive dust emissions. 2) The contractor shall ensure that all disturbed unpaved roads and disturbed areas within the Project are watered at least three (3) times daily during dry weather. Watering, with complete coverage of disturbed areas, shall occur at least three times a day, preferably in the midmorning, afternoon, and after work is done for the day. 3) The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads and Project site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less. Cumulative Impacts: 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. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to be assessed. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G) estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (03), and Particulate Matter (PM2S and PMtg) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less -than -significant. This city-wide increase in emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR. With implementation of the following best practices and mitigation measures from'the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize short-term air quality impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant: 4) 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. 5) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit construction plans to the 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg75 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 11 Less Than Significant Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP 9 Pctentlalty significant With Wigatian Than Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Im act conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning Staff. 6) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 7) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction -grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. 8) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 9) 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. 10) 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. • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. • Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25mph) 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. 11) 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 PMio emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 12) 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 PMto emissions.

The proposed project would result in a net increase in the amount of development in the area; therefore, the proposed project would result in net increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The stationary source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for on -site buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. As shown in the following tables, project implementation will not exceed any significance thresholds. No long-term, operational impacts will occur as a result of the project.

According to SCAQMD LST methodology, LST's would apply to the operational phase of a proposed project, if the project includes stationary sources, or attracts mobile sources that may spend long periods queuing and idling at the site (e.g., transfer facilities and warehouse buildings). The propsed project does not include such uses, and thus, due to Rev 9-16 E1-E5Pg77 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 13 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Into omteE Im act Im at( the lack of significant stationary source emissions, no long-term localized significance threshold analysis is needed. Cumulative Impacts (Long Term/Operational Emissions) The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the potential impacts to air quality based on the future build out of the City. In the long-term, continued development would result in significant operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan FPEIR; therefore, all developments would be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a less -than -significant level. This City-wide increase in emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR. With implementation of the following mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant: 13) Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. 14) Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle services. 15) Schedule truck deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours. 16) Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with automated time clocks or occupant sensors. 17) Landscape with native and/or drought -resistant species to reduce water consumption and to provide passive solar benefits. 18) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure. 19) Comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources PRC-03, and Stationary Sources Operations Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance and ADV-MISC to reduce emissions of restaurant operations. 20) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters. 21) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate thermal pane windows and weatherstripping. 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 Rev 9-16 E1—ES Pg78 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 14 Less Than Signifcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Petentialiy wan Than Significant Mitigation Signifcant No Im act Inver orated Impact Im act a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. With implementation of mitigation measures listed in subsection b) above from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR, which are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts, cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant. 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 following 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 adjacent to the Day Creek Fire Station #173 and within 1/4 mile of single family residences. The Methodology explicitly states that it is possible that a project may have receptors closer than 25 meters. Projects with boundaries located closer than 25 meters to the nearest receptor should use the LSTs for receptors located at 25 meters. Therefore, LSTs for receptors located at 25 meters were utilized in the Air Quality Study (Urban Crossroads; September 30, 2016). As the project is less than 4 acres, the project was modeled after SCAQMD's Summary of a Four Acre Site. As shown in Table 3-6 (Localized Significance Summary Construction), the project does not exceed SCAQMD Localized Thresholds. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under subsection b above and the following mitigation measure will reduce any potential impact to less -than -significant levels. 22) 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. Operational odors (Long-term) are not typically associated with the type of use. Odors from the proposed affordable senior rental housing use would most likely be from activities such as the cooking of food and the disposal of refuse, however, these odors would be minimal and not considered to be significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

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 residential and commercial uses. The site has been previously disrupted during the construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments. 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. A Biological Resources Assessment Survey was conducted on the project site by LSA (October 27, 2016). The assessment found that the study area is highly disturbed and the total vegetation cover is approximately 60 percent. The site, historically, was located within a much larger area of Riversidean Alluvial fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS). However, over time the RAFSS habitat on the site degraded into two primary vegetation communities due to disturbances related to surrounding development, isolation from larger blocks of RAFSS habitat, and the lack of active soil transport on the site. Presently, the vegetation on site is dominated by a dense monotypic stand of hairy yerba santa at the southwest portion of the study area, while the remainder of the site is primarily bare ground sparsely vegetated by California buckwheat scrub interspersed with California sagebrush, shortpod mustard, and telegraph weed. Other plants observed on site include scalebroom, chamise, mountain mahogany, Mexican elderberry, wedgeleaf ceanothus Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg80 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 16 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information S Sources: Potentially wen Than PP g Significant Mitigation Significant No Iraact incorporated Im act Im act and deer week. A mature Canyon live oak tree exists on site, just west of the terminus of Firehouse Court. No drainage features, ponded areas, wetlands, or riparian habitat subject to jurisdiction by the CDFW, USACW and/or RWQCB were found within the project site. Neither a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 and 404 permits nor a CDFW streambed alteration agreement is necessary. The project site is considered unsuitable for the California gnatcatcher, as the site is only 4 acres in size and isolated by surrounding development, and because vegetation on site is highly disturbed and monotypic. The project site is also considered unsuitable habitat for the San Bernardino kangaroo rat (SBKR), which inhabits alluvial fan sage scrub habitats with gravelly and sandy soils of alluvial fans, braded river channels and active channels and terraces. Although alluvial fan scrub is present, it is disturbed by surrounding development and is isolated, there is no longer active soil transport on the site. Therefore, the site is not considered suitable habitat for the SBKR. In addition, no small mammal burrows were observed on site and the project does not occur within SBKR designated critical habitat, which occurs approximately 1.5 miles to the north of the project site and across State Route 210. A suitability survey was conducted for burrowing owls. The project site was determined to not contain suitable habitat for burrowing owls due to tall vegetation present on site and absence of potential nesting sites as described above. No burrowing owls or burrowing owl sites were observed during the habitat assessment survey. A burrowing owl survey is being required prior to ground clearing activities to assure that burrowing owls have not occupied the project site during the intervening time between the submitted study and ground clearing activities. The Biological Resources Assessment Survey (LSA; October27, 2016) concludes that based on the disturbed habitat conditions, the project is not anticipated to result in any impacts to federally or state listed endangered or threatened species or to any non -listed special status species. However, a pre -construction nesting bird survey should be performed 3 days prior to ground moving actives. With the following mitigation measures, any impacts to sensitive species will be less than significant: 1) Three days prior to the removal of vegetation or ground -disturbing activities, a breeding bird survey that is in conformance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act shall be required to determine whether nesting is occurring. Occupied nests shall not be disturbed unless a qualified biologist verifies through non- invasive methods that either (a) the adult birds have not begun egg -laying or incubation; or (b) the juveniles from the occupied nests are foraging independently and are capable of independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300 feet of non -raptor nests, and within 500 feet of raptor nests, during the breeding season to avoid abandonment of young. If nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area shall be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 2) Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the California Department of Fish and Rev 9-16 E1—E5Pg81 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: PP g Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Impact Incorporate Im act Im act Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning Department within 3 days of groundbreaking activity. The survey shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol: Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and Non -breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre -construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre -construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre - construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid Impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum 'include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground -disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 3 days after the pre -construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls. During the non -breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non -migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre -construction survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used .to exclude owls from those burrows.Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines. During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 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 potentially may move through the north/south trending tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence. Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There is a large specimen Canyon live oak tree located at the southeast corner of the site which was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist (Jim Borer, October 10, 2016) and the City's on -staff arborist (Dean Rodia) have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved.

The applicant proposes planting a 70-inch box size Canyon live oak on the site to the west of the existing tree. With the planting of the proposed replacement Canyon live oak tree, the project will be in conformance with the tree preservation ordinance and the impact to the environment will be less than significant with the incorporation of the following mitigation measure: 3) A 70-inch box size Canyon live oak shall be planted on the project site to the west of the existing Canyon live oak tree to be removed. 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 conservationplans will occur. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () () () (✓) significance of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5? b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (✓) () ( ) significance of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? c) Directly or indirectly destroy .a unique paleontological O (✓) O ( ) resource or site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred () () () (✓) outside of formal cemeteries? e) Directly or indirectly affect a Native American tribal () (✓) () ( ) cultural resource: Comments: a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). A Cultural Resources Assessment was performed on the site (LSA; October 2016). The study reviewed the cultural resources records and literature, aerial photographs and historic maps for a 1-mile radius surrounding the project site. The study also included an intensive field survey of the project site. The study concluded that no previously undocumented resources were identified within the project area and no other cultural resources were identified during the field survey. No monitoring or future cultural resource studies are recommended. The study does recommend that in the event that previously undocumented archaeological resources are identified during earthmovind activities, further work in the area should be halted until a professional archaeologist can assess the nature and significance of the finding can be determined. With the mitigation measure included under b) below, any impacts on historic resources will be less than significant. Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg83 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 19 Less Than Signifcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: sgen`tia6i Mitigation Signhan No Im ad Incorporated Impact Im ad b) 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). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. 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. • Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2 Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a park or green space or paying an in -kind mitigation fee. • Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg84 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 20 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP 9 Potentially Significant WIh Mitigation Than Significant No Impact Incur oraad Impact Im act 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 the construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments. 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. e) In conformance with California State Bill (SB) 18, on November 9, 2016 staff sent a Tribal Consultation Request of the proposed project to a list of tribal communities provided by the Native American Heritage Commission. A letter dated December 5, 2016, was received by staff from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation requesting that a certified Native American Monitor be on site during any and all ground disturbances. Staff also sent out a Tribal Consultation request in conformance with California Assembly Bill (AB) 52 on February 23, 2017, of the proposed project to the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians and the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians. The City has not been contacted to date in regards to the (AB) 52 notification letter. With the following mitigation measure, impacts to the cultural resources will be less than significant. 3) A Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation certified Native American Monitor shall be onsite during any and all ground disturbances.

Comments: a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Red Hill Fault, passes within 2 miles north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3.5 miles north of the site. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 14 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 16 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard Conditions 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg86 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 22 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources; Potentially wth Tnan Signifoent Mitigation 'Significant No Impact Incor orates Im act Im act 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 PMfo 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 PMfo 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 PMfo 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 PMfo 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. The site is not within an Earthquake hazard zone or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-2. Soil types on -site consist of Tujunga loamy soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. No adverse impacts are anticipated.. d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on -site consist of Tujunga loamy soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. These soils typically have slow to very slow runoff and have a slight hazard of water erosion. No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. 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? Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg87 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 23 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP 9 Patantially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No IfinDact Incorporated Impact Im act 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. Governor Schwarzenegger 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) 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 6 key GHGs (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)). 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 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (OF) 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 CO2 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 was 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 qualitative analysis (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 pollutants except PM,o, PM2.5, and S02 =W151:] E1—E5 Pg88 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 24 Loss Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wm Than Significant Mitigation Significanl Nc impact Inca oraled Im act Im act which are monitored at the Fontana -Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the project area for CO, NO2, and S02 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly. Project 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. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has not adopted a threshold of significance for GHG emissions. However, a screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year is based upon South Coast Air Quality Management District staffs proposed GHG screening threshold for stationary sources emissions for non -industrial projects, as described in the SCAQMD's Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules and Plans. Project related GHG's would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis by Urban Crossroad dated September 30, 2016, total project related emissions would be 980.70 MTCO2eq/year, as shown in the following table: TABLE 3-1: TOTAL PROJECT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (ANNUAL) Emission Source Emissions (metric tans per year) CO2 CH4 N20 Total CO2E Annual construction related emissions amortized over 30 years 25.2 4.39E-03 25.29 Area 35.98 0.00 6.20E-04 36.23 Energy 209.56 9.09E-03 3.13E-03 210.72 Mobile Sources 627.44 0.02 0 627.89 Waste 13.07 0.77 0 29.30 Water Usage 42.66 0.30 0.01 51.27 Total COTE (All Sources) 980.70 Source: CaIEEMod"' model output, See Appendix 3.1 for detailed model outputs.

Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg89 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 25 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wth Than Significant Mitigation Signifcant No Im act Inco oraled Im ad Im act Cumulative 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, workers 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, Cho, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis conducted by Urban Crossroads (September 30, 2016), no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term construction impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would have less than a significant short-term cumulative impact with implementation of the following enforceable actions, which are included as mitigation measures in accordance with Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR: 1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAQMD 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. 2) The construction contractor shall select construction equipment based on low -emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on the grading plan that ensures all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufactures' specification. 3) Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes. 4) Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or diesel -powered engines where feasible. 5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak -hour traffic. 6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for the construction crew. Cumulative 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg90 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 26 Less Than signihcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially w'h Than Significant Mitigation Significant Im act Incor oratetl Im ad 14J, 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 140 affordable senior apartment units 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 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 including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks. The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the CARB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. The proposed project will incorporate several design features including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks. 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. Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis conducted by Urban Crossroads (September 30, 2016), no significant impacts to GHGs from long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would have less than a significant long-term operational impact with implementation of the following enforceable actions, which are included as mitigation measures in accordance with Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR: 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 develop site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and landscaping. • Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems. • Install light colored "cool" roofs and cool pavements.

Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. Educate employees about reducing waste and about recycling. b) The project involves the development of 140 affordable senior apartment units, which is consistent with the General Plan. 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 diverse opportunities. The proposed project includes water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks and therefore is consistent with the sustainability and climate change policies of the General Plan. The, General Plan Final Program Environmental' Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of GHG's and determined that GHG emissions would be cumulatively considerable, which would be a significant, unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis conducted by Urban Crossroads (September 30, 2016), no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term, construction impacts or long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to GHGs from short-term construction and long-term operational cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. With implementation of the mitigation measures listed in subsection a), less than significant impacts would occur as a result of the project. In addition, the proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by AB 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact.

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 activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through construction activities that 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.

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 1/4 mile of the project site. The project site is located approximately 1.3 miles from the nearest existing or proposed school, Carleton P. Lightfoot Elementary School. No impacts are anticipated. d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site. Recent site inspections did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated. e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1 and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The project site is located approximately 8.5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path and is not within the Airspace Protection Area according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Development. No impact is anticipated. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 and 1/2 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated. g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and evacuation routes to existing development. New development will be located on a site that has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated every 3 years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Because the project includes at least two points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no adverse impacts are anticipated. h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind -driven fires 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, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

() () () (✓) 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.

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 would specify Best Management Practices from contacting storm water and with the from moving off -site into receiving waters. Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that (BMPs) to prevent construction pollutants intent of keeping all products of erosion 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 an SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare an 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 exhibit, prepared by Modole and Associates, Inc. (February 21, 2017), which identifies 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 following mitigation measures are 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 grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg96 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 32 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant Na Impact Incur orated Impact Im act 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. 5) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NO[) 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. Post -Construction Operational: 6) 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. 7) 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 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. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but 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.

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. 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 a 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. 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 a 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. 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 site is for new development; therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. With implementation of the mitigation measures specified under subsection a), less than significant impacts are anticipated. 8) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by Modole and Associates, Inc. (February 21, 2017) to reduce construction pollutants from entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. g) 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. 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. The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system designed to adequately convey floodwaters from a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete -lined channels, and underground storm drains as Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg98 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 34 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP 9 Potentially Significant Wih Mitigation Than Significant No Im acl Incor araletl Im act Im act shown in General Plan Figure PS-6. 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. 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. Would the project. a) Physically divide an established community? () () () (✓) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or () () () (✓) regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan () () () (✓) or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The site is located west of Day Creek Boulevard at the terminus of Firehouse Court and is characterized by a multi -use trail and residential development to the north, by land under construction with a commercial center to the south, by a City fire station to the east and by a San Bernardino County Flood Control District maintenance yard to the west. This project will be of similar design and size the City fire station to the east and the commercial center under construction to the south. The project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is Low Medium (LM) District. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. The project is within the Victoria Community Planned Community which includes a provision that permits an increase in the permitted density by up to 2 density ranges (in this case to either Medium (M) or Medium High (MH) District). The Victoria Community Planned Community also includes a provision to encourage affordable housing by awarding affordable developments with 1 additional unit above the density range for each affordable unit provided. The project is 100 percent affordable and is thus eligible to have a density of up to 48 dwelling units per acres. The proposed density is 35 dwelling units per acre. 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, 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg99 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 35 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wIh Than Signifwnt Mation Significant No Im act Incor oratetl Im act Im act consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan (See full discussion and mitigation measures under Biological Impacts). 11.

Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in () (✓) () ( ) excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive () () () (✓) ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise () () () (✓) levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in () (✓) () ( ) ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, () () () (✓) where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, () () () (✓) would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Comments: a) The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Figure PS-9 at build -out. A noise Impact Analysis was prepared for the project by Urban Crossroads (October 20, 2016). The report includes an on and off -site traffic noise analysis, exterior and interior noise analysis and construction noise and vibration analysis. Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg100 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 36 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP 9 Potengaliy Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No knead Incorporated Im act Im act The off -site traffic noise analysis found that the project would increase traffic on the nearest intersections by less than 50 peak hour trips. As a doubling of traffic volumes would be required to generate a 3 dBA increase in noise levels, the project will have a less than significant impact without mitigation. The on -site traffic noise analysis found that that vehicle noise from Day Creek Boulevard and Base Line Road was the principal source of community noise that will impact the project site. The noise analysis shows that the project will satisfy the City's maximum day and nighttime exterior allowable noise levels without mitigation. The interior noise level analysis found that the units facing Base Line Road and Day Creek Boulevard will require a noise reduction of up to 12.9 dBA and a windows closed condition, requiring a means of mechanical ventilation. In order to meet the City's 45 dBA interior noise standard, the project will need to incorporate a number of noise mitigation measures which are outlined below. The construction noise and vibration analysis found that the unmitigated daytime construction activities would satisfy the City's 65 dBA maximum allowable noise level during normal construction times and no additional mitigation measures are necessary. The vibration impacts due to project construction represent temporary perceptible vibration levels which may cause annoyance in residential areas, however, they do not represent levels capable of causing building damage to nearby residential homes. Further, the impacts at the site of the closest sensitive receivers are unlikely to be sustained during the entire construction period, but will occur rather only during the time that heavy construction equipment is operating adjacent to the project perimeter. Construction at the project site will be restricted to daytime hours consistent with City requirements, thereby eliminating potential vibration impacts during sensitive night time hours. The analysis provides several mitigation measures that are included below to further reduce any potential impacts. The project will have a less than significant impact with the mitigation measures outline below. Exterior., 1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction -related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and 'how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 2) During all project site construction, the construction contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with property operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturers" standards. The construction contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the noise sensitive receptor nearest the project site. 3) 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.

Ceilings shall be well fitted, fully sealed gypsum board of a least a rating of R-19 shall be used in the attic space. 8) Arrangements for any habitable room shall be such that any exterior door or window can be kept closed when the room is in use and sill receive circulated air. A forced air circulation system (e.g. air conditioning) or active ventilation system shall be proved which satisfies the requirement of the Uniform Building Code. 9) Prior to approval of building permits, a letter from an acoustic engineer shall be submitted verifying conformance to the interior noise mitigation measures. 10) Prior to final approval by the Planning Department, an acoustic engineer shall be submitted verifying implementation of the interior mitigation measures. b) The normal operating uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce ground borne vibrations. With the exterior mitigation measures outlined above, the construction related vibration will be less than significant. c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. Because the project will not significantly increase traffic as analyied in Section 16 Transportation/Traffic; it will likely not increase ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project. 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. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: 11) 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. 12) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at the property line. Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as Rev 9-16 Ell—E5 Pg102 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 38 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PP 9 Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Impact Inc.crated Im act Im act specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050. 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. 13) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first phase. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on -site construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be required: 14) 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 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 and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The Project is located approximately 8.5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated. f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. 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 not induce population growth. The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the construction of 140 senior apartments. 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. The density was analyzed as Rev 9-16 E1—E5Pg103 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 39 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wm rnan Sficant Mitigation Signi(cant Na Im act Incor orated Im act Im act 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 significant impacts are anticipated. b) Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. c) 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? () () () d) Parks?e) JV) Other public facilities? Comments: a) The site, located at the north west corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Base Line Road, would be served by Day Creek Fire Station Number 173, which is located directly adjacent to the project site at 12270 Firehouse Court. 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 property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. c) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The project will be required to pay School Fees as prescribed by State law prior to the issuance of building permits. No impacts are anticipated. d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park, Ellena Park, is located 1.2 miles from the project site at 7139 Kenyon Way. 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 Rev 9-16 El—E5 Pg104 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 40 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pplanianv wtn man Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Im as Im act 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. Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. Additionally, the closest public library, the Paul A. Biane Library, recently completed a second floor addition that added 13,500 square feet of specialized programming space. 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, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park, Ellena Park, is located 1.2 miles from the project site at 7139 Kenyon Way. The project is for the development of 140 affordable senior housing units. The project site is zoned Low Medium (LM) District, which is a residential zoning district. The General Plan contemplated the development of residential units at the proposed density on the project site. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. b) See a) response above.

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) A Trip Generation Evaluation (Urban Crossroads; September 26, 2016) was submitted for the project. The trip generation rates used for the evaluation were based on information collected by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), as provided by their Trip Generation manual (9th Edition, 2012). The ITE Senior Housing land use was utilized to determine trip generation rates and peak hour trip generation. The proposed project is anticipated to generate a net total of approximately 482 trips per day with 28 AM peak hour trips and 35 PM peak hour trips.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga does not maintain their own traffic study guidelines and instead defers to the County of San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) traffic study guidelines. The County of San Bernardino CMP requires a traffic study be prepared if a project generates 250 two-way peak hour trips and that expects to add at least 50 peak our trips to a key intersection. As such, no additional analysis is required based on the CMP guidelines, as the project is anticipated to generate fewer than 50 peak hour trips. 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 County of San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) estimates that each senior housing unit will generate 35 two-way peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the 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 8.5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. No impacts are anticipated.

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) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles during construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an inadequate emergency access. No impacts are anticipated. The design of the project includes, or the project will be conditioned to provide, features supporting transportation and vehicle trip reduction including bicycle parking, direct access to the Pacific Electric multi -use trail, sidewalk access to adjacent commercial centers and a bus stop. 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? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm () () () (✓) water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the () () () (✓) project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment () () () (✓) provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition .to the provider's existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted () () () (✓) capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? g) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and () () () (✓) regulations related to solid waste? 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 Rev 9-16 El—E5 Pg108 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 44 Less Than Signircant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than sfgnircant Miligalicn Signirwnt No Im act Inco orates Im act impact 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 CVWD provides water treatment, storage and distribution of domestic water to Rancho Cucamonga and portions of the cities of Ontario and Fontana, and a tract in Upland. The current daily water usage in the CVWD service area is approximately 41.7 million gallons per day (mgd). Residential water use amounts to about 60 percent of the total water consumed. Landscaping (public and private) is the next largest consumer of water at 20 percent. 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 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. Under SB 221, a Water Supply Assessment is required when: 1) A project that is a residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; 2) a project that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of existing service connections for a public water system; and 3) applies to development agreements that Include such subdivision. The City has determined that the proposed project does not meet one of the requirements; therefore, a Water Supply Assessment is not required. As discussed, the project is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this project. No impacts are anticipated. e) 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. No impacts are anticipated. f) Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes the refuse at a permitted landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City's solid waste disposal needs. No impacts are anticipated.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated. 18. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the () () () (✓) quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually () (✓) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a T project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? C) Does the project have environmental effects that will () () () (✓) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Figure RC-4. A Biological Resources Assessment was conducted on the project site by LSA on October 27, 2016. The Biological Resources Assessment finds that the project site is highly disturbed and vegetated by hairy yerba santa, poor quality California buckwheat scrub, ruderal vegetation, and a mature Canyon live oak tree in declining health. Impacts to these vegetation communities is are not considered significant. Indirect impacts to surrounding areas as a result of the project may include, but are not limited to, increased dust, noise, lighting, traffic and storm water runoff. Because of the small scale of the project, substantial indirect impacts are not anticipated. The project site is currently surrounded by existing development. Therefore, significant cumulative effects to biological resources as a result of the proposed project are not anticipated. Based on the disturbed habitat conditions, the project is not anticipated to result in any impact to federally or sate listed as endangered or threatened species or to any non -listed special status species. To assure that the burrowing owl and nesting birds have not inhabited the site after the Biological Resources Assessment, a mitigation measure has been added to the Biological Resources. (Section 4) of this study. b) If the proposed project were approved, 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 Rev 9-16 E1—E5 Pg110 Initial Study for DRC2016-00814 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 46 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. 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 Department is responding to the ISIMND as a Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources (California Fish and Game Code Sections 711.7 and 1802, and the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA] Guidelines Section 15386), and as a Responsible Agency regarding any discretionary actions (CEQA Guidelines Section 15381), such as the issuance of a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (California Fish and Game Code Sections 1600 et seq.) and/or a California Endangered Species Act (CESA) Permit for Incidental Take of Endangered, Threatened, and/or Candidate species (California Fish and Game Code Sections 2080 and 2080.1). The project proposes the development of a 140-unit multiple -family housing project on four acres located west of Day Creek Boulevard, at the terminus of Firehouse Court in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, County of San Bernardino; within Assessor Parcel Number (APN): 1089-031-36. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Department has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and the habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (i.e., biological resources); and administers the Natural Community Conservation Planning Program (NCCP Program). The Department offers the comments and recommendations presented below to assist the City of Rancho iiserving California's Wildlife Since 1870 EXHIBITM E1-ESPg130 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 2 Cucamonga (City; the CEQA lead agency) in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the project's significant, or potentially significant, impacts on biological resources. Biological Resources and Impacts Following review of the IS and MND, the Department is concerned by the lack of biological analysis included in the IS, and recommends that the IS and MND be revised to include a thorough and detailed analysis of the project's potential impacts on biological resources, and recirculated for further public review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15073.5. We offer the comments and recommendations presented below to assist the City in adequately identifying and mitigating the project's significant, or potentially significant, impacts on biological resources: Special Status Wildlife Species The IS identifies several special -status wildlife species with potential to occur on the project site, including Coast horned lizard, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and San Diego desert woodrat, but states that there is a low likelihood for these species to occur due to the habitat conditions on site. The IS further states that no small mammal burrows were observed on site. Given that the LSA letter report "Results of Biological Resources Assessment Survey for the Day Creek Villas Affordable Senior Apartments Project (LSA Project No. NCO1601)" dated October 27, 2016, states that the general biological resources survey was conducted for a total period of only 50 minutes (between 11:30 AM and 12:20 PM on October 19, 2016) the Department questions the adequacy of the pedestrian survey and whether the entire project site was appropriately assessed for the presence of sensitive species. The Department is also concerned that the IS fails to identify the potential for Los Angeles pocket mouse (LAPM) to occur onsite, particularly as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has documented the occurrence of LAPM within close proximity to the project site. Given the limited assessment completed onsite, and the documented occurrence of LAPM within close proximity, the Department recommends the completion of focused special -status species surveys, including small mammal trapping surveys. A 50-minute walk -over of a project site does not represent an adequate biological assessment, and the Department is concerned with the City's determination that no focused surveys are warranted. The Department requests that appropriate focused, species -specific surveys be conducted prior to recirculation of the CEQA document, and that the revised and recirculated document include the survey results. The revised document should also contain a thorough and detailed analysis of the project's potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts on biological resources, and appropriately specific, adequate, feasible, and enforceable mitigation measures to reduce the potential impacts to a level that is less than significant. To assist with review, an accompanying map or maps showing the areas of impact and any proposed mitigation locations should also be included. If special -status species are discovered on -site, the Department is available to El—E5Pg131 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 3 assist the City in identifying appropriate mitigation measures prior to recirculating the CEQA document. Special Status Plant Species The IS also identifies special status plant species with potential to occur on the project site, including Parry's spineflower and mesa horkelia. However, despite the identification of suitable vegetation and/or soils, focused botanical surveys of the project area were not completed. Instead, the IS/MND concludes that because the site is disturbed, there is a low likelihood of these species being present. The LSA letter report (page 5) also concludes that "due to the small size of the proposed project site, existing disturbances, and proximity to surrounding development, impacts to these sensitive species are not considered significant." Because the IS/MND fails to fully evaluate the potential presence of these species within the project area, the Department finds the City's aforementioned conclusions to be flawed. Further, mesa horkelia, and Parry's spineflower are listed as California Native Plant Society (CNPS) 1 B.1 species, meaning that they are seriously endangered in California. The CNPS states that CNPS 1 B.1 species "meet the definitions of the California Endangered Species Act of the California Department of Fish and Game Code, and are eligible for state listing. Impacts to these species or their habitat must be analyzed during preparation of environmental documents relating to CEQA, or those considered to be functionally equivalent to CEQA, as they meet the definition of Rare or Endangered under CEQA Guidelines §15125; (c) and/or §15380." In order to provide a complete description of the baseline condition of the project area the Department recommends that focused surveys following the Department's 2009 Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Communities be conducted during the appropriate times of year, and that the results of this assessment be included in the CEQA document prior to adoption of the MND. If special -status plant populations are observed, the MND should include appropriate avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures to address potential impacts. Alluvial Scrub Habitat The LSA letter report states that the project site supports two primary vegetation communities, one of which includes the presence of scale broom (Lepidospartum squamatum). The letter report, however, incorrectly classifies the community as California buckwheat scrub. Sawyer et al. (2009) has categorized vegetation communities with the presence of >1 % cover of Lepidospartum squamatum as scale broom scrub. Based on the presence of scale broom within the project site the Department has determined that this vegetation community is likely classified as Lepidospartum alliance, and not Buckwheat scrub. Scale broom scrub has an overall rarity ranking of G3 S3, with some associations within the scale broom scrub alliance El—E5 Pg132 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 4 (i.e., Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub) as rare as G1 S1.1. The Department considers all associations with state ranks of S1-S3 to be highly imperiled. Based on cumulative impacts within the immediate vicinity of this project site (APN 1089-031-37 [10.18 acres], located immediately south is currently under development; and APN 1090-331-05 [31.99 acres] located south of Base Line Road is proposed for development under the City's "Day Creek Square" project [SCH No. 20170510191), the Department considers the removal of up to 4 acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub to be a significant impact (the LSA letter report fails to quantify the acreage of Lepidospartum alliance). In order to reduce the impacts to alluvial fan scale broom scrub to a level that is less than significant, the Department recommends that the City require the project proponent to purchase, conserve in perpetuity, and enhance/restore similar habitat within the watershed. While the amount (acreage) of habitat that is appropriate will vary based on the location of the proposed mitigation area, the amount and type of enhancement and/or restoration proposed, and whether (a) the project site and (b) the proposed mitigation site is occupied by special -status species, the Department recommends that the mitigation site include no less than twelve acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub. A higher acreage may be warranted if the proposed mitigation site requires little enhancement, is located far away from the project site (i.e., within a separate watershed), is not occupied by or available to special status species, and/or possesses other attributes that diminish its long term conservation value. The Department is available to assist the City in evaluating the proposed mitigation prior to the document's recirculation. Lack of City Mitigation Strategy/Conservation Program The Department is concerned by the cumulative impacts to Lepidospartum alliance habitat and associated species assemblages within the City's sphere of influence. Urban development has resulted in alluvial sage scrub to become eliminated or isolated to stands along streams and outwashes on major alluvial fans throughout much of Rancho Cucamonga. Even degraded or isolated patches of alluvial scrub vegetation still retain a distinct characteristic given their relation to flood -deposited alluvia and the species associated with this habitat type. Multiple species occurrences have been mapped within this habitat type in Rancho Cucamonga using GIS by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The database was initially created to map locations of federally threatened and endangered species which require a survey report under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act. Recently, the database has been expanded to include a few other species of interest, including the Los Angeles pocket mouse, a California Species of Special Concern (CSSC). Section § 15380 of the CEQA Guidelines clearly indicates that species of special concern should be included in an analysis of project impacts. Using the USFWS GIS data, it was determined that since 1997, 19 known LAPM occurrences have been recorded within the Day and Etiwanda Creek watershed between Interstate 10 and El—E5 Pg133 Mitigated Negative Declaration Day Creek Senior Villas Project SCH No. 2017041029 Page 5 Wilson Avenue. Of the 19 sites, 14 have been developed, one (1) is proposed for commercial buildings, and three (3) remain open space but may have various maintenance commitments (e.g. Burlington Northern, Southern California Edison, and San Bernardino County Flood Control District). The MND does not include survey data indicating whether the above -listed species occurs on -site, an analysis of the number of Individuals expected to occupy the site, or an estimation of the local and regional population of the species. Focused species - specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable, are required. Please provide a cumulative effects analysis developed as described under CEQA Guidelines § 15130 and if appropriate, a detailed mitigation proposal to offset the temporal, permanent, and cumulative impacts to this species. The Department also recommends expanding the cumulative effects analysis to include impacts to Lepidospartum alliance habitat within the City's sphere of influence. Finally, the Department recommends that the City develop and implement a comprehensive mitigation/conservation strategy as soon as possible to offset the continuing loss of these sensitive public trust resources. Department Conclusions and Further Coordination The Department appreciates the opportunity to comment on the IS/MND for the City Creek Senior Villas Project (SCH No. 2017041029), and we request that the City of Rancho Cucamonga address the Department's comments and concerns prior to adoption of the MND.

CDFW Comment 1. Sensitive Plant and Animal Species. The Initial Study (IS) identifies several special -status wildlife species with potential to occur on the project site, including Coast horned lizard, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and San Diego desert wood rat, but states that there is a low likelihood for these species to occur due to the habitat conditions on site. The IS further states that no small mammal burrows were observed on site. Given that the LSA letter report "Results of Biological Resources Assessment Survey for the Day Creek Villas Affordable Senior Apartments Project (LSA Project No. NCO1601)"dated October 27, 2016, states that the general biological resources survey was conducted for a total period of only 50 minutes (between 11 :30 AM and 12:20 PM on October 19, 2016) the Department questions the adequacy of the pedestrian survey and whether the entire project site was appropriately assessed for the presence of sensitive species. The Department is also concerned that the IS fails to identify the potential for Los Angeles pocket mouse (LAPM) to occur onsite, particularly as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has documented the occurrence of LAPM within close proximity to the project site. Given the limited assessment completed onsite, and the documented occurrence of LAPM within close proximity, the Department recommends the completion of focused special -status species surveys, including small mammal trapping surveys. A 50-minute walk -over of a project site does not represent an adequate biological assessment, and the Department is concerned with the City's determination that no focused surveys are warranted. The Department requests that appropriate focused, species -specific surveys be conducted prior to recirculation of the CEQA document, and that the revised and recirculated document include the survey results. The revised document should also contain a thorough and detailed analysis of the project's potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts on biological resources, and appropriately specific, adequate, feasible, and enforceable mitigation measures to reduce the potential impacts to a level that is less than significant. To assist with review, an accompanying map or maps showing the areas of impact and any proposed mitigation locations should also be included. If special -status species are discovered on -site, the Department is available to assist the City in identifying appropriate mitigation measures prior to recirculating the CEQA document. venue, Suite 200, Riverside, California 92507 951.781.9310 w .lsa.net EXHIBIT N El—E5Pg135 LSA The IS also identifies special status plant species with potential to occur on the project site, including Parry's spineflower and mesa horkelia. However, despite the identification of suitable vegetation and/or soils, focused botanical surveys of the project area were not completed. Instead, the IS/MND concludes that because the site is disturbed, there is a low likelihood of these species being present. The LSA letter report (page 5) also concludes that "due to the small size of the proposed project site, existing disturbances, and. proximity to surrounding development, impacts to these sensitive species are not considered significant." Because the IS/MND fails to fully evaluate the potential presence of these species within the project area, the Department finds the City's aforementioned conclusions to be flawed. Further, mesa horkelia, and Parry's spineflower are listed as California Native Plant Society (CNPS) 1 B.1 species, meaning that they are seriously endangered in California. The CNPS states that CNPS 1 B.1 species "meet the definitions of the California Endangered Species Act of the California Department of Fish and Game Code, and are eligible for state listing. Impacts to these species or their habitat must be analyzed during preparation of environmental documents relating to CEQA, or those considered to be functionally equivalent to CEQA, as they meet the definition of Rare or Endangered under CEQA Guidelines §15125; (c) and/or §15380." In order to provide a complete description of the baseline condition of the project area the Department recommends that focused surveys following the Department's 2009 Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Communities be conducted during the appropriate times of year, and that the results of this assessment be included in the CEQA document prior to adoption of the MND. If special -status plant populations are observed, the MND should include appropriate avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures to address potential impacts. Response. LSA maintains that the habitat on site is considered to be of low value for the subject species because the site is small in size (4 acres), has previously been subjected to onsite activities resulting in the degradation of native vegetation diversity and quality, and is isolated from other similar habitats in the region as a result of extensive surrounding development. Review of historical aerials from as early as 2004 (Google Earth) shows the site has intermittently been subjected to repeated ground disturbance and clearing of vegetation, and is isolated from fluvial events as a result of development and the channelization of Day Creek. As a result, native vegetation diversity has been altered. A re-evaluation of the project site was conducted by LSA Senior Biologist/Botanist, Stanley Spencer on May 12, 2017 between the hour of 8:30 am and 12:30 pm. During the site visit, Mr. Spencer conducted a focused rare plant survey for listed species and bloom periods. No sensitive plant species were observed and considered absent from the project site. Mr. Spencer also searched for sensitive animal species. No sensitive animal species or small mammal burrows were observed. However, because a trapping study and focused survey for other sensitive species (e.g., Coast horned lizard) were not conducted, a few individual sensitive animal species may occur on the project site. 5/17/17 tR.\WO1W1\Re5ponse W CommenU\Response to mme COFW 05101] revt 051717 Onal.dov) E1—E5Pg136 LSA Although a few individual sensitive animal species may occur on the project site, the project site would not support their long term, continued existence because habitat on site is considered to be of low value for the sensitive species due to the reasons described above and as detailed in the response to the following comment below. Therefore, potential impacts to sensitive animal species are not considered significant under CEQA. Please note, in most cases it is not standard practice to estimate specific numbers of individuals of lower level special -status species in CEQA documents. Such estimates are sometimes, but not always made for listed or endangered species, or some plant populations where it is practical to generate that information. Furthermore, it is not necessary or particularly helpful to provide such detailed information to decision makers in cases such as this one. The description provided in this case is considered adequate. Existing and developing regional habitat conservation plans including the Upper Santa Ana River Wash Habitat Conservation Plan, North Fontana Interim MSHCP Policy and other local conservation and preservation plans (e.g., City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan) are designed for the long- term conservation of these and other species associated with viable RASS habitat. CDFW Comment 2. Impacts to Sensitive Natural Communities [Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub) and Lack of City Mitigation Strategy/Conservation Program. The LSA letter report states that the project site supports two primary vegetation communities, one of which includes the presence of scale broom (Lepidospartum squamatum). The letter report, however, incorrectly classifies the community as California buckwheat scrub. Sawyer et al. (2009) has categorized vegetation communities with the presence of >1 % cover of Lepidospartum squamatum as scale broom scrub. Based on the presence of scale broom within the project site the Department has determined that this vegetation community is likely classified as Lepidospartum alliance, and not Buckwheat scrub. Scale broom scrub has an overall rarity ranking of G3 53, with some associations within the scale broom scrub alliance (i.e., Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub) as rare as G1 S1 .1. The Department considers all associations with state ranks of S1 -S3 to be highly imperiled. Based on cumulative impacts within the immediate vicinity of this project site APN 1089-031-37[10.18 acres), located immediately south is currently under development; and APN 1090-331-05 [31.99 acres] located south of Base Line Road is proposed for development under the City's "Day Creek Square" project [SCH No. 20170510191), the Department considers the removal of up to 4 acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub to be a significant impact (the LSA letter report fails to quantify the acreage of Lepidospartum alliance). In order to reduce the impacts to alluvial fan scale broom scrub to a level that is less than significant, the Department recommends that the City require the project proponent to purchase, conserve in perpetuity, and enhance/restore similar habitat within the watershed. While the amount (acreage) of habitat that is appropriate will vary based on the location of the proposed mitigation area, the amount and type of enhancement and/or restoration proposed, and whether (a) the project site and (b) the proposed mitigation site is occupied by special -status species, the Department recommends that the mitigation site include no less than twelve acres of alluvial fan scale broom scrub. A higher acreage may be warranted if the proposed mitigation site requires little 5/17117(R:\WO1W1\Rezp=w to CommeM%Response to Comments_COFW 051011 reNsed 051I17RnaLdou) E1—E5 Pg137 LSA enhancement, is located far away from the project site (i.e., within a separate watershed), is not occupied by or available to special status species, and/or possesses other attributes that diminish its long term conservation value. The Department is available to assist the City in evaluating the proposed mitigation prior to the document's recirculation. The Department is concerned by the cumulative impacts to Lepidospartum alliance habitat and associated species assemblages within the City's sphere of influence. Urban development has resulted in alluvial sage scrub to become eliminated or isolated to stands along streams and outwashes on major alluvial fans throughout much of Rancho Cucamonga. Even degraded or isolated patches of alluvial scrub vegetation still retain a distinct characteristic given their relation to flood -deposited alluvia and the species associated with this habitat type. Multiple species occurrences have been mapped within this habitat type in Rancho Cucamonga using GIS by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The database was initially created to map locations of federally threatened and endangered species which require a survey report under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act. Recently, the database has been expanded to include a few other species of interest, including the Los Angeles pocket mouse, a California Species of Special Concern (CSSC). Section § 15380 of the CEQA Guidelines clearly indicates that species of special concern should be included in an analysis of project impacts. Using the USFWS GIS data, it was determined that since 1997, 19 known LAPM occurrences have been recorded within the Day and Etiwanda Creek watershed between Interstate 10 and Wilson Avenue. Of the 19 sites, 14 have been developed, one (1) is proposed for commercial buildings, and three (3) remain open space but may have various maintenance commitments (e.g. Burlington Northern, Southern California Edison, and San Bernardino County Flood Control District). The MND does not include survey data indicating whether the above -listed species occurs on -site, an analysis of the number of individuals expected to occupy the site, or an estimation of the local and regional population of the species. Focused species specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable, are required. Please provide a cumulative effects analysis developed as described under CEQA Guidelines§ 15130 and if appropriate, a detailed mitigation proposal to offset the temporal, permanent, and cumulative impacts to this species. The Department also recommends expanding the cumulative effects analysis to include impacts to Lepidospartum alliance habitat within the City's sphere of influence. Finally, the Department recommends that the City develop and implement a comprehensive mitigation/conservation strategy as soon as possible to offset the continuing loss of these sensitive public trust resources. Response. As originally determined during the field visit in October 2016, and subsequently reconfirmed during the May 12, 2017 site revisit, hairy yerba santa (Eriodictyon trichocalyx) and California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) are the dominant plant species occurring on the proposed project site. This can be attributed to historical disturbances occurring onsite as well as related to surrounding development, isolation from larger blocks of native habitat, and the lack of active soil transport on the site. Neither of these dominant plant species is intrinsically rare or valuable. 5117/17 (ftANC01W1\R.W.. t.0 ..nu\R.V.a to Com .e _CDFW_M1017 revised 051]l) finW.tlou) E1—E5Pg138 LSA Vegetation mapping concluded that the four acre project site consists of 2.6 acres of California Buckwheat scrub, 0.8 acre of hairy yerba santa, and a mature canyon live oak occupying 0.12 acre. Individual scalebroom (Lepidospartum squamatum) were noted and mapped on the site during the May 2017 site revisit. Scalebroom was associated within the hairy yerba santa vegetation on the project site. Cumulatively, the Scalebroom population equates to approximately 0.025 acres, or 0.7% of the vegetative cover onsite. Scalebroom cover within the stand of yerba santa is 2.1%. The Scale broom Alliance is described as a vegetation community where "Lepidospartum squamatum is dominant, co -dominant, or conspicuous in the shrub canopy...". Compared to hairy yerba santa and disturbed buckwheat scrub, scale broom is not dominant, co -dominant, or conspicuous in the shrub canopy within the study area, as required by the Scale broom Shrubland Alliance Species Characteristics defined by Sawyer et al. (2009). Additionally, the membership rule for Scale broom scrub (Lepidospartum squamatum) Shrubland Alliance has been defined as vegetation communities with the presence of >1 % cover of Lepidospartum squamatum in alluvial environments. Although scale broom occupies approximately 2% of the vegetation cover within the stand of yerba santa (but not within the buckwheat scrub or the overall vegetation), and alluvial soils are present within the study area, the site is highly disturbed and isolated from the larger, functioning alluvial floodplain. As a result, the site is not a functioning alluvial ecosystem. Further, the lack of alluvial habitat functionality is evident in the overall quality and health of the scale broom observed onsite, as a majority of the plants were found to be in a declining state with dead or dying branches. Subsequently, LSA maintains the habitat onsite is best categorized as a monotypic stand of hairy yerba Santa and as California buckwheat scrub (Eriogonum fosciculatum Shrubland Alliance). Due to the reasons discussed above, the hairy yerba santa and California buckwheat scrub habitats found on site are not considered suitable for the long term preservation of the non -listed sensitive species discussed in the response to Comment 1 above. Again, the habitat found onsite lacks connectivity with Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region by extensive development, and preservation of the habitat on this site would not contribute to the conservation effort of larger blocks of Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat in the region. Thus, impacts to the habitats and any associated special status species potentially present, are not considered significant under CEQA. 5/17/17(RANCOIGW\Me".. to COm .Mn\Rn,.ns<toC...nts_CORV_051017_,erized OS1717 fm.L. ) E1—E5 Pg139 RESOLUTION NO. 17-29 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2016-00964, A REQUEST TO MODIFY GENERAL PLAN FIGURE LU-8 RELATED TO THE REMOVAL OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCE DESIGNATION OF AN ON -SITE TREE RELATED TO THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF A 140-UNIT AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON 4 ACRES OF LAND WITHIN THE LOW -MEDIUM (LM) DISTRICT (4 — 8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) OF THE VICTORIA PLANNED COMMUNITY, LOCATED AT THE TERMINUS OF FIREHOUSE COURT AND WEST OF DAY CREEK BOULEVARD; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF — APN: 1089-031-36.

Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject General Plan Amendment request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and continued the hearing to May 24, 2017. 3. On the 24th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted the hearing on the application and concluded the hearing on that date. 4. 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 May 10 and May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located at the terminus of Fire House Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard in the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and b. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) District and Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan ; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail and single-family residences within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial E1—E5Pg140 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-29 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2016-00964 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA. MAY 24, 2017 Page 2 center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and C. The applicant is requesting to develop a 140-unit affordable rental senior housing project on 4 acres of land; and d. A large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree is located at the southeast corner of the site that was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. Removal of the tree requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation Commission, a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to modify General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the tree from a map illustrating the location of all the historic resources in the City and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965); and e. This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development. The proposed General Plan Amendment will amend General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) to remove a Canyon Live Oak as a Historic Resource. The subject tree was designated a Historic Landmark on October 21,1987. The condition of the tree has since declined to a point where it cannot be preserved; and f. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the General Plan Land Use Element. The subject General Plan Amendment is to amend General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) to remove a Canyon Live Oak as a Historic Resource and will not impact the goals and objectives of the General Plan. g. This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties. The amendment is to remove a tree from General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) that was given Historic Landmark Designation due to decline of the tree. The subject tree will be replaced with a large specimen tree of the same species in close proximity to the location of the existing tree. 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. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in terms of access, size and compatibility with the existing land uses in the surrounding area. The proposed amendment will not change the land use designation of the project site. The subject General Plan Amendment will amend General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) to remove a Canyon Live Oak as a Historic Resource due to the declining health of the tree. b. The proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties. The amendment will not have significant impact on the environment as it is to amend General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) to remove a Canyon Live Oak as a Historic Resource due to the declining health of the tree. A replacement tree of the same species will be planted on the project site to replace the removed tree.

The proposed amendment meets the goals and policies of the General Plan. The amendment will not impact the goals and policies of the General Plan as it is to amend General Plan Figure LU-8 (Historic Resources) to remove a Canyon Live Oak as a Historic Resource due to the decline of the tree. A replacement tree of the same species will be planted on the project site to replace the removed tree. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, togetherwith 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 recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration 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 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 furtherfinds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested General Plan Amendment. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records forthe Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the General Plan Amendment application as shown in Attachment "A" subject to each and every condition set forth below.

The application applies to a property located at the terminus of Fire House Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard in the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and b. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) District and Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire E1—E5 Pg147 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-30 DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT DRC2017-00156 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA. MAY 24, 2017 Page 2 Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail and single-family residences within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and C. The land use and zoning designation of the project site is Low -Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan, which permits 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The Victoria Community Plan includes a provision permitting the zoning designation to be increased by up to 2 density ranges in order to provide plan flexibility. The project site can thus be increased in density from Low -Medium (LM) District to either Medium (M) District (8 — 14 dwelling units per acre) or Medium -High (MH) District (14 — 24 dwelling units per acre). The Victoria Community Plan also provides an incentive to build affordable housing, which awards property owners' one bonus unit in density for every affordable dwelling unit provided. The project will be 100 percent affordable and is thus eligible for a 100 percent increase in the permitted density level, or between 24 to 48 dwelling units per acre; and d. The applicant is requesting to develop a 140-unit affordable rental senior housing project on 4 acres of land. The proposed density is 35 dwelling units per acre. e. Development Code Chapter 17.46 (Density Bonuses, Incentives and Concessions) provides incentives for the production of affordable housing, including the opportunity to provide reductions in the related development standards. The applicant can request up to 3 concessions based on the affordability factor of the project. In this case, the applicant is requesting 2 concessions, a reduction in the required number of parking spaces and a reduction in the size of the private recreation areas (decks). Density bonuses and concessions are considered in conjunction with any necessary development entitlements for the project and approved by a Density Bonus Agreement. The designated approving authority for the Density Bonus Agreement is the City Council. 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. The proposed Density Bonus Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, and general land uses specified in the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plans. The proposed Density Bonus Agreement furthers General Plan Goal HE-2, to provide housing opportunities that meet the needs of all economic segments of the community including very low, low and moderate income households. The proposed affordable senior housing rental units further this goal by providing seniors with affordable housing. Additionally, the Victoria Community Plan includes provisions to permit the project at the proposed residential density; and b. The proposed Density Bonus Agreement is compatible and in conformitywith public convenience, general welfare, and good land use and zoning practice. The project site is well suited for the proposed affordable senior housing rental development. It is located in close proximity to public transportation, a multi -use recreational trail and multiple commercial developments, reducing the need for a personal vehicle and increasing the mobility of the senior population targeted by the development; and C. The proposed Density Bonus Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the City. The proposed affordable senior housing rental units related El—E5 Pg148 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-30 DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT DRC2017-00156 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA. MAY 24, 2017 Page 3 to the Density Bonus Agreement will not negatively impact the City as is in keeping with the surrounding development and will become an integral part of the community. d. The proposed Density Bonus Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values. The proposed affordable senior housing rental development is well suited for the proposed location and complies with the zoning designation and the permitted density of the project site. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration 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 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: (1) 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Density Bonus Agreement. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records forthe Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5. This Commission hereby recommends approval of the Density Bonus Agreement attached hereto as Attachment "A" with the special conditions which follows: 1) The final draft of the Density Bonus Agreement shall be reviewed and accepted by the City Attorney prior to approval by City Council. El—E5 Pg149 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-30 DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT DRC2017-00156 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA. MAY 24, 2017 Page 4 2) Approved is contingent upon City Council adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact for the project and the Mitigation Monitoring Program and all mitigations contained therein. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 24TH DAY OF MAY 2017. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA go ATTEST: Francisco Oaxaca, Chairman Candyce Burnett, Secretary I, Candyce Burnett, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 24th day of May 2017, by the following vote -to -wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: E1—E5 Pg150 RECORDING REQUESTED BY, AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Attn: City Clerk With a copy to: Day Creek Senior Housing Partners LP c/o National Community Renaissance 9421 Haven Avenue Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Attn: Chief Financial Officer APNs: 1089-031-36 ORO Exempt from Recording Fees Pursuant to Government Code Section 27383 DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT DRC2017-00156 (SENIOR CITIZENS AFFORDABLE HOUSING) THIS DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is dated as of June 7, 2017 and is entered into by and between DAY CREEK SENIOR HOUSING PARTNERS LP, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the "Developer"), and the CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, a California municipal corporation (the "City"). RECITALS A. California Govermnent Code Section 65915(d) provides that in addition to a density bonus (not applicable here), a city may, by agreement with a developer, grant up to three incentives or concessions that the applicant requests when a developer agrees to construct housing for low income households. B. The City has implemented California Government Code Section 65915(d) by enacting Municipal Code Section 17.46.040B, which subject to certain limitations, contemplate such incentives to encourage development of affordable housing for low income households. C. Developer has requested City to consider the approval of a density bonus agreement which will grant concessions for Developer's development of the real property in City on Exhibit "A" ("Site"). The Site is located within the Victoria Planned Community. D. The Developer proposes to construct a senior housing residential project, consisting of low income units, on the Site. Said project contemplated by Developer will require two incentives/concessions from the residential development standards in the Victoria Planned Community. The Developer is not requesting a density bonus for this project. ATTACHMENT A -I- E1—E5 Pg151 E. It is the desire of City to encourage developments designed to provide affordable rental units for senior residents of the City. In furtherance of that desire, the City is hereby willing to grant concessions to Developer as provided by the terms of this Agreement, which is a so-called "density bonus agreement' contemplated and required by Municipal Code Chapter 17.46.040. F. City and Developer have entered into a Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement dated in 2016 which obligates the City to sell the Site to Developer subject to certain conditions, including the condition that a "Development Agreement' be approved by City and executed; however, Developer and City have determined that the only purpose of such condition was to provide for the affordable housing incentives described herein, and that Municipal Code Chapter 17.46 requires a so- called "density bonus agreement' under that Chapter, not a statutory development agreement. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: Definitions. In this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meaning: a. "Affordable Rents" shall mean the total charges for rent, utilities, and related services in an amount not to exceed the amount of rent permitted under California Health and Safety Code Section 50053 and Sections 6910 — 6932 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. b. "Area Median Income" shall mean the median income for households in San Bernardino County, California, as published from time to time by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in a manner consistent with the determination of median gross income under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, and as defined in Title 25, California Code of Regulations, Section 6932. In the event that such income determinations are no longer published by HUD, or are not updated for a period of at least 18 months, the City shall either use the income determinations used by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee or may use income determinations that are reasonably similar with respect to methods of calculation to those previously published by HUD. C. "City" is the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California. d. "Project' is the development approved by City comprised of one hundred and forty (140) apartment units, recreational and common area facilities, parking spaces and other amenities on the Site, all as set forth more fully in the site plan for Environmental Assessment and Design Review DRC2016-00814 submitted by Developer and approved by City. The Project is subject to the conditions of approval which are not changed, altered or modified by this Agreement. e. "Qualified Tenants" shall mean households consisting of a person who is sixty- two (62) years of age or older and any qualified permanent residents under the applicable provisions of California Civil Code Section 51.3 and the federal Fair Housing Act (except to the extent the Project utilizes federal funds whose programs have differing definitions for senior projects in which case those definitions will apply), and whose annual household income does not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Area Median Income. 2. Binding Effect of Agreement. The Developer hereby subjects the Site and development thereon to the covenants, reservations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement in perpetuity. The City and the Developer hereby declare their specific intent that the covenants, reservations and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be -2- u231-000i\zo5ao37v4.doo E1—E5 Pg152 binding upon the Developer's successors and assigns and successor to any interest in the Project. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereinafter executed, covering or conveying the development or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants, reservations and restrictions expressed in this Agreement, regardless of whether such covenants, reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other instrument. 3.

Except for one (1) manager's unit, the apartment units in the Project shall be rented, occupied, leased or subleased to households which include at least one Qualified Tenant. 5. Rental Requirements; Affordable Rent. One hundred and thirty-nine (139) of the units in the Project, not including the one unit for a resident manager, shall be rented, leased or held available for Qualified Tenants at Affordable Rents. 6.

Tenant Selection, Contracts and Rules and Regulations. After receipt of applications for income restricted units, Developer shall determine the eligibility of the occupancy under the terms of this Agreement. Verification of tenant income eligibility shall be based on the following information and other information if permitted by the California Tax Allocation Committee for the low income housing tax credit program: a.

By the tenant at the expiration of the term of occupancy or otherwise upon thirty (30) days' written notice; C. By abandonment of the premises by the tenant; or d. By failure of a tenant to execute or renew a lease. -4- 11231-0001\2050037v4.doc E1—ES Pg154 An affordable unit initially occupied by a Qualified Tenant shall be deemed occupied by a Qualified Tenant until such affordable unit is vacated, even if the tenant's household income subsequently increases to an amount that exceeds the maximum allowable income level for its initial income category so long as satisfactory actions are taken to ensure that all vacancies are filled in accordance with this Agreement until the noncompliance is corrected. Upon termination of occupancy of an affordable unit by a tenant, such affordable unit shall be deemed to be continuously occupied by a household of the same income level as the initial income level of the vacating tenant, until such affordable unit is reoccupied, at which time the income character of the affordable unit shall be determined by the income of the incoming tenant. The income of all persons residing in the affordable unit shall be considered for purposes of calculating the applicable income. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, no less than one person per bedroom shall be allowed; no more than two persons shall be permitted to occupy a one bedroom affordable unit; and no more than three persons shall be permitted to occupy a two bedroom affordable unit. Any termination of a tenancy other than those listed above in this Section shall constitute a lawful eviction only if: (i) Developer conduct it in compliance with the provisions of California law and (ii) the lease is terminated then only for material noncompliance with the terms of the applicable rental agreement after written notice and the expiration of a reasonable cure period. 11.

This Agreement may be amended or canceled, in whole or in part, only by mutual written consent of the parties. 18. Event of Default.

Developer Representation Re: Priority; No Waiver of Remedies. Developer represents and warrants that this Agreement, when recorded, is senior and prior to all deeds of trust and other liens, except for liens for property taxes and assessments not yet due. City does not waive any claim of defect in performance by Developer if on periodic review City does not enforce or terminate this Agreement. Nonperformance by Developer shall not be excused because performance by Developer of the obligations herein contained would be unprofitable, difficult or expensive or because of a failure of any third party or entity, other than City. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided for in this Agreement are available to the parties to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach thereof or default hereunder. 21. Rights of Lenders Under this Agreement. Should Developer place or cause to be placed any encumbrance or lien on the Project, or any part thereof, the beneficiary ("Lender") of said encumbrance or lien, including, but not limited to, deeds of trust, shall have the right at any time during the term of this Agreement and the existence of said encumbrance or lien to: a. Do any act or thing required of Developer under this Agreement, and any such act or thing done or performed by Lender shall be as effective as if done by Developer itself; b.

Notices.

A. Recitals. 1. National Community Renaissance of California filed an application for the approval of Design Review DRC2016-00814, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and continued said hearing May 24, 2017. 3. On the 24th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted the public hearing and concluded said hearing on that date. 4. 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 May 10, and May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located at the terminus of Fire House Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard in the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and b. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) District and Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail and single-family residences within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and C. The land use and zoning designation of the project site is Low -Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan, which permits 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The Victoria Community Plan includes a provision permitting the zoning designation to be increased by up to 2 density ranges in order to provide plan flexibility. The project site can thus be increased in density from Low -Medium (LM) District to either Medium (M) District (8 — 14 dwelling units per acre) or Medium -High (MH) District (14— E1—E5 Pg162 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-31 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00814 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 2 24 dwelling units per acre). The Victoria Community Plan also provides an incentive to build affordable housing, which awards property owners' one bonus unit in density for every affordable dwelling unit provided. The project will be 100 percent affordable and is thus eligible for a 100 percent increase in the permitted density level, or between 24 to 48 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is 35 dwelling units per acre. The Development Code awards projects that provide affordable units with up to 3 concessions from the specified development requirements. The applicant is requesting 2 concessions, a reduction in the required number of parking spaces and a reduction in the size of the private recreation areas (decks); and d. The project provides 119 parking stalls, 82 of which are provided in carport stalls and 37 in uncovered stalls. Projects that provide affordable housing units are required to provide 1 parking space for 1 bedroom units and 2 parking spaces for 2 bedroom units, which is inclusive of guest parking. This translates into a parking requirement of 149 parking spaces. The project proposes 119 parking spaces, 30 parking spaces below the minimum requirement (a 20 percent reduction); and e. The project includes property line walls that are over the 6-foot maximum permitted wall height. The north property line wall includes a retaining wall ranging in height from 4 to 6 feet topped by a 6-foot high free standing wall, for a calculated height of 8 to 9 feet. Additionally, there is a 2.5-foot retaining wall proposed adjacent to the existing 6-foot high wall between the project site and the adjacent City fire station. In both cases, the additional wall height will only be visible on the applicant's side of the wall; and f. The large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree located at the southeast corner of the site was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. Removal of the tree requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness (DRC2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation Commission, a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to modify General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the tree from a map illustrating the location of all the historic resources in the City and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965). Staff supports the removal of the tree due to the tree's declining condition. The applicant has agreed to plant a large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree to replace the existing tree. 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. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan Land Use designation of the project site is Low Medium (LM) District. The site is also within the Victoria Community Plan, which includes a provision permitting the zoning designation to be increased by up to 2 density ranges. The Victoria Community Plan also provides an incentive to build affordable housing, which awards property owners' one bonus unit in density for every affordable dwelling unit provided. The project will be 100 percent affordable and is thus eligible for a 100 percent increase in the permitted density level, or between 24 to 48 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is 35 dwelling units per acre, below the maximum permitted 48 dwelling units per acre permitted by the Victoria Community Plan with the provisions outlined above. b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The project site is within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan. As stated above, the Victoria Community Plan permits an increase in density by up to 2 density ranges and provides a separate incentive to provide affordable E1—E5 Pg163 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-31 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00814 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 3 units of 1 unit increase in density for each affordable unit provided. The proposed density is 35 dwelling units per acre. C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The project is in compliance with the provisions of the Development Code and the Victoria Community Plan, except for a request for a wall height Variance (DRC2017-00032) and a request of 2 concessions for a reduction in the required parking and size of the private open space area. Development Code Section 17.46.040 (Density bonuses and Incentives and Concessions Allowed) includes a provision that permits projects that provide affordable units reductions in the development criteria. d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, orwelfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. An environmental review was completed for the project which concluded that with the proposed mitigation measures, the project would have a less than significant impact on the environment. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe 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 recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration 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 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 recommends that the City Council adopt 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.

A. Recitals. 1. National Community Renaissance of California filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2017-00032, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and continued said hearing to May 24, 2017. 3. On the 24th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted the public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 4. 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 May 10, and May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located at the terminus of Fire House Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard in the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and b. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) District and Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail and single-family residences within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and C. The subject wall height Variance (DRC2017-00032) is related to the development of a 140-unit affordable rental senior housing project (DRC2016-00814) on 4 acres of land; and E1—E5 Pg186 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-32 VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 2 d. The project complies with all development criteria of the Victoria Community Plan and the Development Code, except for the 2 concessions for a reduction in the parking and private open space requirements and a request for a wall height Variance; and e. The project includes property line walls that are over the 6-foot maximum permitted wall height. The north property line wall includes a retaining wall ranging in height from 4 to 6 feet topped by a 6-foot high free standing wall, for a calculated height of 8 to 9 feet. Additionally, there is a 2.5-foot retaining wall proposed adjacent to the existing 6-foot high wall between the project site and the adjacent City fire station. In both cases, the additional wall height will only be visible on the applicant's side of the wall. 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. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in a difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Code. The increase in wall height is necessary due to a 4 to 6-foot grade change between the project site and the Pacific Electric Tail to the north and due to the necessity for a 2.5-foot retaining wall along the east property line, adjacent to an existing 6-foot high free standing wall. Without the Variance, the applicant would be required to step the retaining walls, reducing the developable portion of the lot and the number of units that could be constructed. b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. There is an up to 6-foot grade change between the project site and the Pacific Electric Trail to the north which require the construction of a property line retaining wall. There is also a 2.5-foot grade change along the east property line which requires the placement of a retaining wall directly adjacent to an existing 6-foot high free standing wall. C. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone. Without an increase in the permitted wall heights, the developable portion of the project site would be reduced in order to step the retaining walls. In turn, reducing the number of units that could be constructed on the site. d. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. It is common practice to grant a Variance for an increase in property line wall height where there is a grade change between a project site and the adjacent parcels of land. In this case, there is an up to 6-foot grade change along the north property line and 2.5-foot grade change along the east property line. The additional wall height will only be visible on the applicant's side of the wall. e. The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The increased wall heights will not negatively impact the surrounding property owners as the additional wall height will only be visible on the project site.

Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe 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 recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQX) 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 projectwould 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. G. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the Variance application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for Variance DRC2017-00032, to construct a combination wall with a calculated height of up to 9 feet along the north property line and up to 8 feet along the east property line for a site located the terminus of Firehouse Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard. —APN: 1089-031-36. 2) Approval for Variance DRC2017-00032 is contingent upon Planning Commission approval of Design Review DRC2016-00814 and City Council approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2016-00964 and El—E5Pg188 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-32 VARIANCE DRC2017-00032 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA May 24, 2017 Page 4 Density Bonus Agreement DRC2017-00156 and the Historic Preservation Commission approval of Certificate of Appropriateness DRC2016-00966. 3) Approval is contingent upon City Council adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact for the project and the Mitigation Monitoring Program and all mitigations contained therein. 4) Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with any sections of the Development Code, State Fire Marshal's regulations, Uniform Building Code, or any other City Ordinances. 5) The applicant shall agree to defend at his sole expense any action brought against the City, its -agents, officers, or employees, because of the issuance of such approval, or in the alternative, to relinquish such approval.

A. Recitals. 1. National Community Renaissance of California filed an application for the approval of Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00965 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tree Removal Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and continued said hearing to May 24, 2017. 3. On the 24th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted the public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 4. 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 May 10,and May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located at the terminus of Fire House Court and west of Day Creek Boulevard in the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and a. To the west of the project site is a maintenance yard operated by the San Bernardino County Flood Control District within the Low Medium (LM) District and Flood Control/Utility Corridor (FC/UC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the east is Day Creek Fire Station #173, within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; to the north is the Pacific Electric trail and single-family residences within the Low Medium (LM) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and, to the south is land that is under construction with a new commercial center (Day Creek Village) within the Village Commercial (VC) District of the Victoria Community Plan; and b. A large specimen Canyon Live Oak tree is located at the southeast corner of the site that was given a Historic Landmark Designation by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. Removal of the tree requires approval of a Certificate of Appropripljergs 9Vf2016-00966) by the Historic Preservation PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-33 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2016-00965 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA MAY 24, 2017 Page 2 Commission, a General Plan Amendment (DRC2016-00964) to modify General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the tree from a map illustrating the location of all the historic resources in the City and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2016-00965); and C. The project includes General Plan Amendment DRC2016-00964 will amend General Plan Figure LU-8 to remove the subject Canyon Live Oak tree from this figure. 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. The removal of the tree is necessary due to the condition of the tree related to disease, danger of collapse, proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility services. The applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved due to the declining health of the tree. b. The removal of the tree is necessary in order to construct improvements which will allow economic enjoyment of the property. The Tree Removal Permit is related to the development of a 140 unit affordable senior rental housing development on the project site. The subject tree is being removed due to the declining health of the tree. C. The removal of the tree will not negatively impact the neighborhood, the established character of the area and property values. The subject tree is being removed due to the health of the tree. Removal will not negatively impact the neighborhood as the tree will be replaced with a large specimen tree of the same species near the location of the tree being removed. d. The removal of the tree is necessary to construct required improvements within the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way. The removal of the subject tree is not necessary to construct public improvements. The trees is being removed due to the declining health of the tree. e. The trees cannot be preserved through pruning and proper maintenance or relocation. The arborist report submitted for the project (Borer: October 10, 2016) states that the subject tree is in systematic decline and shows numerous significant structural defects and recommends removal of the tree. f. The tree does not constitute a significant natural resource in the city. The subject tree was designated a Historic Landmark by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist (Jim Borer) and the City's on -staff arborist (Dean Rodia) have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. g. Removal of the tree is not restricted by a Specific Plan, Community Plan or condition of approval. Because the subject tree was designated a Historic Landmark by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 21, 1987, its removal requires the approval of a Certificate of Appropriations, a Tree Removal Permit as well as a General Plan Amendment. The health of this tree has since declined to a point where the applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. h. Every effort has been made to incorporate the trees into the design of the project and the only appropriate alternative is the removal of the tree. The subject tree is in decline and applicant's arborist and the City's on -staff arborist have concluded that the tree cannot be preserved. E1—E5 Pg211 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-33 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2016-00965 NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA MAY 24, 2017 Page 3 i. The removal of the tree 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. The project site is in an area with a large number of mature trees. With replacement of the subject tree with a large specimen tree of the same species, the long term aesthetic impact will be minimal. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQK) 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 recommends that the City Council adopt 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5.

Three days prior to the removal of vegetation or ground -disturbing activities, a breeding bird survey that is in conformance with the Migratory Bird Act shall be required to determine whether nesting is occurring. Occupied nests shall not be disturbed unless a qualified biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either (a) the adult birds have not begun egg -laying or incubation; or (b) the juveniles from the occupied nests are foraging independently and are capable of independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300 feet of non -raptor nests, and within 500 feet of raptor nests, during the breeding season to avoid abandonment of the young. If nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area shall be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist.

The survey shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol: Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and Non -breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre- construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre - construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre -construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid Impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground -disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre -construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls. During the non -breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non- migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre - construction survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines. During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 41.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission take the following actions: Approve Design Review DRC2016-00417 and Uniform Sign Program DRC2016-01036 through the adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Malachite Avenue. The overall site is approximately 15,726 square feet (0.37 acres) in area. The project site is generally of a square shape and about 140 feet (east -west) by 115 feet (north -south). The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1,206 feet and E7—E8 Pg 1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00417 AND UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM DRC2016-01036 — ROGER WONG MAY 24, 2017 Page 2 1,200 feet, respectively. The project site is developed with a convenience store (Kwik Stop Market). The store is within a building that was a service station that ceased operations several years ago. The land uses on the surrounding properties, and General Plan and zoning designations of those properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Convenience Store General Commercial Commercial Office (CO) District* North Automotive Repair Mixed Use Community Commercial (CC) and Restaurant District* South Commercial Office Commercial Commercial Office (CO) BuildingGeneral District* East Commercial Office General Commercial Commercial Office (CO) Building District* West Commercial Retail Mixed Use Community Commercial (CC) Center District* *Foothill Boulevard Overlay District FBOD PROJECT BACKGROUND: A Pre -Application Review workshop was held to discuss this project with the Planning Commission on March 9, 2016 (related file: Pre -Application Review DRC2015-00444). The applicant desired feedback on the proposed modern architectural design of the building since it is unlike the surrounding areas. The outcome of the workshop was generally favorable. The Commission informed the applicant that varied architectural themes and styles were encouraged and that the modern architecture could be compatible with the surrounding buildings. The applicant was directed to revise the architecture of the building to reflect a higher quality of standards including wall plan articulation, variation in the building materials and colors, aesthetic focal points and decorative materials on the fagade of the elevations. ANALYSIS: A. Architecture and Site Planning: The applicant proposes to demolish the existing building and remove all of the existing improvements (with the exception of existing walls along the south and east property lines), and construct a two-story commercial/office building with an overall floor area of 4,250 square feet. It will consist of four tenant spaces ranging from 713 square feet to 1,711 square feet. Three of these tenant spaces will be on the first floor while the fourth, and largest tenant space (with a floor area of 1,711 square feet) will be on the second floor. Access to the second floor will be via two stairways at the southwest and northeast corners of the building. The stairway at the northeast corner of the building will lead to an open deck on the second floor. There will be one point of vehicle access located at the northeast corner of the site off of Foothill Boulevard. The project provides 32.6 percent landscaping, greater than the 15 percent required. The project also complies with the height limitations and setback requirements. The proposed building will be of a modern design with a form and massing that is similar to the proposal that was reviewed by the Planning Commission during the Pre -Application Review workshop. It will have wood framed construction. The exterior walls will be a combination of composite metal cladding, corrugated steel, and two-tone stucco finish (gray E7—E8 Pg2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00417 AND UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM DRC2016-01036 — ROGER WONG MAY 24, 2017 Page 3 and tan). There will be glazing on all elevations. The majority of the glazing will be on the east and north elevations. Detail features include metal awnings with metal hardware, and metal parapet caps. The mullions at all windows will be brushed extruded aluminum. The building has several vertical projections along the wall planes and a tower element at the northwest corner to create visual interest. Due to the aforementioned deck on the second floor, the north wall elevation on the second floor is set back further than that of the first floor on the north elevation. This reduces the visual mass of the building as seen from Foothill Boulevard. The building is plotted on the west side of the project site with the parking area to the east of the building. Pedestrian access to the building will be through entrances located on the east side of the building. There will be a plaza/employee break area of 757 square feet at the north side of the building with tables and chairs, shaded by several large shade trees. Roof -mounted equipment will be screened by the parapet which is at least 3.5 feet in height. B. Parking: Per Section 17.64 of the Development Code, the parking requirements for the project is 17 parking spaces calculated at one (1) parking space per 250 square feet of building floor area. The project will have 17 parking spaces including one (1) ADA compliant parking space. C. Floor Area Ratio (FAR): The proposed building will have a floor area of 4,250 square feet. The project site has an area of approximately 15,726 square feet. The calculated FAR for the project will be approximately 27 percent. Per Chapter 2, Figure LU-2 Land Use Plan of the General Plan, the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the General Commercial land use category is 35 percent. D. Uniform Sign Program DRC2016-01036: The applicant has submitted a Uniform Sign Program for the project in order to provide a cohesive sign architecture for the four tenant spaces. The tenants will be allowed to have wall signs on the north, east and west elevations. No monument signs are proposed. The sign program specifies that each tenant will be allowed to have two wall signs. The signs will be constructed of non -illuminated foam and acrylic letters. The Development Code recommends that wall signs have a maximum letter height of 18 inches. The sign program restricts letter height to a maximum of18 inches with logos limited to a height of 30 inches. Colors are required to be compatible with the building background colors and will be subject to approval by the landlord. The size and height of the letters, and the number of wall signs allowed per tenant meets Development Code standards. These requirements are similar to other previously approved Uniform Sign Programs that govern surrounding commercial properties. E. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved by the Technical Review Committee on May 2, 2017. The Committee accepted the proposal as submitted and recommend approval to the Planning Commission. Their conditions of approval are included in the Resolution and attached Standard Conditions. F. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee (Wimberly, Macias, and Granger) on May 2, 2017. The Committee recommended approval of the project to the Planning Commission subject to the applicant completing Staff's recommended revisions. Their conditions of approval are included in the Resolution and attached Standard Conditions. Since the Design Review Committee E7—E8 Pg3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00417 AND UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM DRC2016-01036 — ROGER WONG MAY 24, 2017 Page 4 meeting, the applicant has made the requested changes which included some additional architectural embellishments and the addition of a large shade tree over the employee break area. G. Environmental Assessment: Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically 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 on no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City's annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent also will be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services. The new building and tenants will contribute to the commercial and office environment of Foothill Boulevard. The project will increase employment in the area. The added commercial and office tenant space will result in a positive fiscal impact for the City directly through increased sales tax revenue, and increase revenue indirectly due to new employees' and customers' patronage of local businesses. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to the application, the proposed development is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, including those that apply to development of in -fill property and revitalization of older commercial sites located along Foothill Boulevard, and the commercial land use objectives of the Development Code. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular page legal advertisement 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. To date, no comments have been received regarding the project notifications.

STAFF REPORT ���`J��_ ` PUNNING Dl;eur;alr:N'r RANCHO DATE: March 9, 2016 CUCAMONGA TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Candyce Burnett, Planning Director BY: Nikki Cavazos, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2015-00444 — CIVIC DESIGN GROUP FOR ROGER WONG: A request for a Planning Commission Workshop review of the conceptual site plan and architecture for a proposed commercial/office building on a parcel of 0.37 acres within the Commercial/Office (CO) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District (FBOD), located at 9533 Foothill Boulevard; APN: 0208-261-14, GENERAL: A. Pre -Application Review Process: The Pre -Application Review process is intended to promote quality development and to facilitate the development review process. Although a Pre -Application Review is not required, it allows an applicant to present schematic designs to the Planning Commission during the early stages of concept plan preparation prior to the formal application and to receive broad, general comments and direction from the Planning Commission. The meeting is not a forum for debate and no formal decision or vote is made. After the meeting, staff prepares general minutes of the meeting that are sent to the applicant. B. Site Description: The project site is located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Malachite Avenue. The overall site is approximately 16,158 square feet (0.37 acres) in area. To the west of the project site, across Malachite Avenue, is a commercial retail center. To the south and the east there are commercial office buildings. To the north of the project site, across Foothill Boulevard, are a variety of commercial uses including an automotive repair/service station, and a restaurant (Alberto's). The project site is developed with a convenience store (Kwik Stop Market). The store is within a building that was a service station that ceased operations several years ago. C. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: Project Site — Convenience Store; Commercial Office (CO) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District (FBOD) North - Automotive repair/service station and restaurant; Community Commercial (CC) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District (FBOD) South - Commercial Office Building; Commercial Office (CO) Overlay District (FBOD) East - Commercial Office Building; Commercial Office (CO) Overlay District (FBOD) West - Commercial Center; Community Commercial (CC) Overlay District (FBOD) D.

Proiect Description: The applicant proposes to construct a two-story commercial/office building with an overall floor area of 4,250 square feet. It will consist of four tenant spaces ranging from 653 square feet to 1,353 square feet. Three of these tenant spaces will be on the first floor while the fourth, and largest tenant space (with a floor area of 1,353 square feet) will be on the second floor. Access to the second floor will be via an interior stairway - elevator access is not provided. ANALYSIS: A. General Plan and Zoning: The applicant contemplates commercial and office uses within the building. Per Table 17.30.030-1 of the Development Code, these types of uses are classified as Office, Business and Professional, and are permitted within the Commercial/Office (CO) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District (FBOD) (Exhibit F). B. Land Use Compatibility: The site is surrounded by commercial offices to the east and to the south and general commercial to the north and the west (Exhibit B). The proposed commercial office uses are similar to the surrounding uses and are expected to have operating characteristics that will have a minimal impact, e.g., noise and traffic impacts are expected to be low. Therefore, staff believes that the building and its uses would be generally compatible with the surrounding commercial and office developments. The most significant impact will likely be related to the availability of parking. Per Table 17.64.050-1 of the Development Code, the required parking for office uses is based on a ratio of 1 parking space for every 250 square feet. The building is proposed to be 4,250 square feet which would require 17 parking stalls. The applicant is providing 17 parking stalls. C. Site Layout and Technical Characteristics: The design guidelines and policies established by the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission stress the importance of having the buildings dominate the project site. Historically, when the opportunity is available to do so, i.e., when there are no significant site and/or vehicle circulation constraints, both the Committee and the Commission favor having the buildings close to the street. This, in turn, results in a parking area that is either behind the buildings relative to the street or in a less prominent area of the site. Ideally, the building should be plotted on the north side of the property along Foothill Boulevard. However, due to property size and vehicle access constraints, the applicant is proposing the building to be plotted to on the west side of the property along Malachite Avenue with the entrance on the east side of the building. The massing of the building will be compatible with the property to the south which is also a two story office building. The buildings to the east, west and north are one-story buildings. The building height will be 30 feet to the top of the structure. The proposed building setback at the west property line, facing Malachite Avenue, is approximately 35 feet while at the north property line, facing Foothill Boulevard, is approximately 45 feet. The applicant has proposed a modem style of architecture which has an "industrial' feel. The building elevations are proposed in ho finich=d with two different colors of fiber panels Item A —2 E7—E8Pg32 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP STAFF REPORT PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2015-00444—CIVIC DESIGN GROUP FOR ROGER WONG March 9, 2016 Page 3 with a satin finish. Stainless steel or metallic enamel silver steel canopies are also proposed on the north, east and west elevations. Glazing is proposed on all elevations and vines are proposed along the elevation facing Malachite Avenue. The parking lot layout of the proposed project minimizes the effects of vehicles on the neighboring developments. Currently three driveways exist on this property but all three are proposed to be demolished and only one driveway is proposed on the property. The driveway is proposed to be accessed off of Foothill Boulevard. A total of 4,911 square feet (30% of the parcel) of landscaping is proposed to meet landscaping standards per City requirements. D. Design and Technical Comments: The applicant is advised that design and technical comments will be provided following the submittal of a formal Development Review application. Staff recommends that the project incorporate the following: The applicant is proposing a modern architectural design (Exhibit D). Varied architectural themes and styles are encouraged and Staff believes a building with modern architecture can be compatible with the surrounding buildings. However, the architecture of the building should be revised to reflect the high quality standards of the City. In order to soften the industrial appearance of the building while emphasizing its commercial office character, enhance the architecture of the building to include, for example, a) wall plane articulation along Malachite Avenue, b) variation in the building materials and colors, c) building elementsifeatures that provide aesthetic focal points, and d) decorative materials on the fagade of the elevations. 2. The applicant is advised that architectural features and details shall be present on all elevations, i.e. 360-degree architecture is per the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission policy. E. Formal Application Submittal Requirements: The applicant will be required to apply for a Development Review. The following applications/documents (and associated fees) will be required at the time of formal submittal: 1.

The Development Code, Section 17.74, requires that a Uniform Sign Program be established for all new multi -tenant shopping centers, office parks, and other multi -tenant, mixed -use, or otherwise integrated developments of three (3) or more separate tenants/uses that share buildings, public spaces, landscape, and/or parking facilities. The proposed USP contains provisions that regulate permanent building signage for each individual tenant as well as permanent monument signage for property identification. The USP allows for a maximum of one non -illuminated wall sign per elevation but in no instance will more than two wall signs be allowed. The size and height of the letters, and the number of wall signs allowed per tenant comply with the technical standards described in the Development Code and are consistent with other previously approved Uniform Sign Programs; and h. These signs are typical for office buildings; and I. The potential size, location, and placement of the signs will be integrated and compatible with the architecture of the buildings and the site; and j. The related. Design Review DRC2016-00417 proposes one (1) multi -tenant building, with a floor area of approximately 4,250 square feet, on a parcel of 0.37 acres in the Commercial Office (CO) District. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -referenced 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. The proposed Uniform Sign Program is consistent with the development standards for signs as provided in Chapter 17.74 (Sign Regulations for Private Property); and b. The design, location, and scale of proposed signs for the integrated development are in keeping with the architectural character of the development. 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff reviewed environmental studies to determine the potential environmental effects of Development Review DRC2016-00417— the primary development project with which this Uniform Sign Program is associated. Based on these environmental studies, Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as a Class 32 (CEQA Guidelines Section 15332) exemption, which covers in -fill development on no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. 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 below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for the establishment of a Uniform Sign Program in conjunction with the development of one multi -tenant building totaling 4,250 square feet of building area - APN: 0208-261-14.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Project Density: Floor Area Ratio - 44.9 percent (0.449) B. Site Characteristics: The project site is comprised of five (5) vacant parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The site is approximately 585 feet (east to west) by approximately 869 feet (north to south). This site once contained an office building and parking lot that was part of a large industrial complex occupied by General Dynamics. The building has since been removed and the parking lot and on -site landscape have not been maintained. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for, the project site and the surrounding properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant/Abandoned Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Parking Lot Lakes Specific Plan) North Multi -tenant Office Mixed Use Planning, Area 4 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) Vintage Apartments and Ontario Center Urban Residential District South Camden Landmark (City of Ontario) (Ontario Center Specific Apartments Plan — Cit of Ontario East Multi -tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) West Undeveloped Vineyard Industrial Park Industrial Park (IP) District E10-12 P2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2016-00931, DRC2016-00670 AND DRC2016-00671 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 3 C.

General: The applicant, on behalf of IDS Real Estate Group, proposes to construct an industrial logistics building with a floor area of 232,058 square feet. The building will consist of two (2) office areas (26,700 square feet) and a warehouse area (205,358 square feet). The offices will be located at the southwest and northeast corners of the building. The dock loading area, with 33 dock doors, will be located along the west side of the building. There will be a trailer storage area with 34 trailer parking spaces located adjacent to the loading dock. The dock and trailer storage areas will be screened from the streets and neighboring properties by a concrete tilt -up wall of 8 feet in height that will be architecturally compatible with the proposed building. There will be an employee break area located near each office. Each will be a minimum of 500 square feet in area, as required by the Development Code. Landscape coverage is 11.5 percent (59,428 square feet). Access to the site will be provided via two (2) driveways along Utica Avenue and one (1) driveway along 4th Street. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt -up construction and will contain a combination of blue reflective vision and spandrel glazing, clear anodized mullions and metal canopies (Exhibit E). The south elevation, which will be visible along 4th Street, contains a significant amount of glazing. Downspouts will not be visible from the exterior on any elevation of the building as they will be routed through the interior of the building. The building will have a height of 40 feet and 3 inches. The exterior of the building will be painted a combination of various shades of white and gray. Empire Lakes Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931: The Empire Lakes Specific Plan (ELSP) consists of eleven (11) "Planning Areas". The project site is located within Planning Area 5 (Exhibit P). The maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) permitted in this Planning Area is 35 percent (0.35) (Exhibit L). Based on the subject parcel's area of 515,690 square feet, the maximum floor area of the proposed industrial building would be 180,491 square feet. The proposed building has a floor area of 232,058 square feet that will result in a FAR of 44.9 percent (0.45). The Specific Plan as implemented has been developed over time with E10-12 P3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2016-00931, DRC2016-00670 AND DRC2016-00671 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 4 office developments where a FAR of 35 percent (0.35) was appropriate because the footprint allowed for required parking to support the office land uses. Reducing the floor area of the building to comply with the current maximum FAR is uneconomical for the applicant's client. Furthermore, it is impractical as this results in leaving the subject property relatively unusable for any other purpose besides parking and landscaping, which is not necessary to support an industrial use. To resolve this, the applicant proposes to amend the ELSP to increase the FAR to 50 percent (0.50)(Exhibit M). Although this increase is greater than the amount the applicant currently needs, this will ensure that the building, once constructed, will continue to conform with the ELSP if future tenant(s) of the building need the flexibility to expand and/or create additional interior office area should their operation(s) require it. Furthermore, the increase in the FAR would establish consistency with the maximum FAR permitted in the General Industrial (GI) and Industrial Park (IP) Districts which both have maximum FARs of 60 percent (0.60). It would also allow the subject property to be developed similarly to the adjacent property located to the west across Utica Avenue. The proposed amendment would apply only to Planning Area 5 of the ELSP. The FAR of all other Planning Areas within ELSP would be unchanged. C. Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00671: As noted in the attached Arborist Report, prepared by Steve Andresen Arborist Services on August 1, 2016, the site contains one hundred twenty eight (128) trees, four (4) of which were determined are heritage trees. Per the report, "The property on inspection was a parking lot with the mature trees growing in the strip planting areas at the borders of the property, and planters in the parking areas. The location looked to have been empty for some time with cracked asphalt, broken planters, weeds and all irrigation turned off or removed. Many trees are in a stressed condition due to lack of irrigation water and maintenance. Trees have been cut down and vandalized." Due to the current condition of the existing trees and their conflict with the subject development, the applicant proposes to remove all trees from the site. The conceptual landscape plan (Exhibit 1) submitted with the application indicates the applicant will be replacing the trees with one hundred ninety six (196) new trees throughout the parking lot, site perimeter and along the proposed building. D. Neighborhood Meeting: On January 9, 2017, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting at The Courtyard by Marriott located at 11525 Mission Vista Drive (Exhibit N). All property owners within 660 feet of the subject property were notified. Attendees included the applicant, architect, contractor and project planner. No members of the public attended the meeting. E. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Wimberly, Macias, and Granger) on January 17, 2017. The main issue raised by staff involved the building's lack of a second primary building material. Per Section 17.122.030 (D)(1)(b) of the Development Code, a minimum of two primary building materials shall be used. Staff discussed this issue with the applicant prior to the Design Review Committee meeting. In response, the applicant revised the building elevations to include sandblasted concrete as a second primary building material. The Design Review Committee accepted E10-12 P4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2016-00931, DRC2016-00670 AND DRC2016-00671 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 5 the proposal as presented with this revision. The Committee also agreed with Staff's remaining policy issues, which are discussed in Exhibit O, and recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for their review. Their conditions of approval are included in the attached Resolution. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee on January 17, 2017. No issues were raised. The Committee recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission. Their conditions of approval are included in the attached Resolution. G. SB18 and AB52 Tribal Consultation: Senate Bill 18 (SB18) requires that the City send project notification to California tribal communities when a project proposes a General Plan or Specific Plan Amendment. California Assembly Bill 52 (AB52) requires that the City send project notification to interested California tribal communities when a project requires an Environmental Impact Report, Mitigated Negative Declaration or Negative Declaration. In accordance with SB18 and AB52, on January 12, 2017, notifications were sent to Native American communities who were on the list of communities provided by the Native American Heritage Commission (per SB18) or requested to be notified (per AB52) to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as a result of the project. The City was contacted via email on January 25, 2017, by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) who stated a records check of the ACBCI cultural registry revealed that this project is not located within the Tribe's Traditional Use Area (TUA). Therefore, the ACBCI tribe deferred to the other tribes in the area and concluded their consultation efforts. The City was also contacted via email on March 7, 2017, by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) who requested that a Cultural Resource Assessment be sent over to their Cultural Resources Management Department for further review in order to determine whether the tribe will pursue further consultation. SMBMI also requested to review the draft mitigation measures relating to cultural and tribal cultural resources. On March 29, 2017, staff forwarded the Cultural Resource Assessment, prepared by Psomas in July of 2016, as well as the draft mitigation measures relating to tribalcultural resources to the SMBMI for review. On April 6, 2017, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians forwarded their comments, which included minor additional text to the draft mitigations and concluded their input on this project. Their comments were incorporated into the mitigation measures. No other contact was made by any of the other tribes that were notified. H. Environmental Assessment: 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 (Exhibit Q). Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality. Noise and Tribal Cultural Resources, 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. E10-12 P5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2016-00931, DRC2016-00670 AND DRC2016-00671 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2617 Page 6 FISCAL IMPACT: The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City's annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent also will be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation, services. The project will also create temporary jobs during the construction of the site and permanent jobs during the operation of the site. The number of permanent jobs that, the project will generate in unknown at this time as the tenant has not yet been determined. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: MID AND LONG RANGE PLANNING One of the City's Council goals is ,to revitalize underutilized areas and enhance industrial land uses. The proposed industrial building will in -fill a vacant, underutilized site and enhance the existing industrial area located north and east of the site. Approval of the proposed building will permit the area to develop as a General Industrial (GI) District as specified in the General Plan and Development Code. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing with a large 1/8th page legal advertisement, on April 20, 2017, 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. To date, staff has received one email on April 24, 2017, from Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. regarding the placement of the trash bins. Staff answered their questions to their satisfaction. No other comments have been received in response to the notifications.

Andresen August 1, 2016 Page 1 SCOPE OF WORK: The scope of this assignment is to give a comprehensive overall report of the existing mature trees using guidelines established by the International Society of Arboriculture and the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: • On -site visit and inspection of one hundred twenty eight (128) existing mature trees located at Fourth Street and Utica Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California • The criteria is established by the City of Ranch Cucamonga as per the tree removal permit application. • Identify the tree common name and botanical name. • Provide general specifications: caliper, approximate height and width. ■ Provide comments as to current health and condition of each tree surveyed. ■ Trees numbered using aluminum tree tags. E10-12 P36 4th & Utica Prepared by Steve F. Andresen August 1, 2016 Page 2 FINDINGS: On July 16, 2016, inspections were conducted to survey the location and condition of the existing trees on the property located at the corner of Fourth Street and Utica Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The property on inspection was a parking lot with the mature trees growing in the strip planting areas at the borders of the property, and planters in the parking areas. The location looked to have been empty for some time with cracked asphalt, broken planters, weeds and all irrigation turned off or removed. Many trees are in a stressed condition due to lack of irrigation water and maintenance. Trees have been cut down and vandalized. Note: There are four (4) heritage trees located on the property measuring Twenty (20) Inches or greater in caliper width. These heritage trees are marked on the attached tree.survey. CONCLUSION: Due to the site conditions many trees are stressed and in poor condition compared to the average maintained landscape trees. Carrot Wood Trees, Liquidambar are the two species showing the most decline. The Canary pines and African sumac onsite have withstood the site conditions because they are better at with standing draught conditions. Below is an overview of main landscape trees onsite and their general condition and health. E10-12 P37 4th & Utica Prepared by Steve F. Andresen August 1, 2016 Page 3 Canary Island Pine - Pinus canariensis There are forty (40) Pines onsite in good to average condition. This pine is native to the Canary Islands and once established is very drought tolerant. These pines are showing very little stress at the time of inspection and have endured the dry unmaintained site conditions. African Sumac - Rhus lancea There are thirty (30) Sumac onsite in average condition for the species. This also a drought tolerant tree that can withstand very low soil moisture once established. The Sumacs are growing along the border of the property next door so they may be receiving incremental watering from that properties irrigation system. Carrot Wood - Cupaniopsis anacardioides There are twenty six (26) Carrot Wood trees onsite in varying condition and healthy. Carrot Woods are native to Australia and when established are drought tolerant and will grow in almost and soil condition. The majority of trees are stressed with die back due to the site drought conditions. Several have been cut down midway up the trunk with an axe. The reason for this happening is not known other than vandalism. The trees have regrown from being cut down with mass sucker growth to form a large upright bush. Several of these were not counted in the report as they are past any type of reconstruction that would make a proper structured tree. Other trees on site are Ornamental Pear, Crepe Myrtle and Liquidambar in small numbers. Their current condition and health grade will be listed on the attached spread sheet contained in this report. Pursuant to the City of Rancho Cucamonga's criteria as outlined in Chapter 17.16.080 of the development code, the attached spread sheet made part of this report hereto, identifies each tree and provides specifications such as height, width, and trunk caliper. A letter grading system is sued to describe tree current health and aesthetic quality as well as comments as necessary. E10-12 P38 4th & Utica Prepared by Steve F. Andresen August 1, 2016 Page 4 LETTTER GRADE LEGEND: • "A" - Outstanding condition: Trees with an "A" grade will have excellent trunk and branch structure, vigorous new growth and healthy leaf color. • "B" - Good condition: Trees with a "B" grade will have good trunk and branch structure with some slight defects that will not adversely affect the tree long term condition. Leaf color and general health are good. • "C" - Average condition: Most trees growing in a landscape setting will be in average condition. Trees may have branching and trunk defects from improper pruning and maintenance. In general letter "C" grade trees are healthy and will continue to grow in the landscape. "D" - Below average condition: Tree with a "D" grade will have poor trunk and branch structure, limb and leaf die back with stunted growth and overall plant stress. • "E" - Severe decline that should be removed: look healthy from a distance but will have defects warranting removal. Some grade "E" trees may major trunk or structural E10-12 P39 Tree Survey E10-12 P40 6 ai ti o ai `0 `0 `0 0 0 `0 o `O u `0 0 u `o u `o u `o 0 `O 0 `0 u `o u o `o u u `o 0 `o 0 `0 u 0 0,2 0 0 o o `0 `0 0 , `O C C C C C c C C C C C C C C C c C co c O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O 0= 0 O O O O O �0 ~0 O 0 0 0 0 O O 0 O O 0, 0 m 'E 'E "E m 'E 'E 'E 'E 'E 'E 'E m 'E uu r .E 'E 'E 'E 'E ,E 0 O O O O O O O O O O O G O O O O O a O N C C C C C C C C C c c C C C C C C C 00 c wO O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O 0) O C C C C C c c c c C C C C C c C C C C O O O O O 0 O O O O 0 O O O O O O 0 N O _O V C O C O C O C O C O C O C O C O C O C O C O C 0 C 0 C O C O C O C O C 00 C O u U U U u u U U u U U u u u u U U U > U a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a m Q a 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o c. o 0 0 O o O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O m a. a, a. m a a. a, OO O O 0 0 O O O O O O O O 0 0 O 0 6 d d d d 0�>l O > > > > > > > > > > > > > Q Q Q Q Q ¢ Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q H t Q W W ¢ r w S U W. �o x a U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U u w � O ¢ � O Q g U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U xU' � N W V U z 0 N H W CI Q h O W LL y CJ V vJ .O Q h V y Q `O V vJ V h O = w�j W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z 4 Z a a a a n. a a a o. d a d a d a o. d a FL a Z O ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ DOC ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ O ❑ Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z ° 5¢ Q J 5 5 3 5 C y N y y y y N y y y y y y y y y y y y y V Q Q Q Q Q Z Z Z Z Z Q Z Q Z < Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Z Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U C C C C C C C C U N al m N N N N m a1 N N N N al a) al 41 al a) W y O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O 0 y C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 o u u u u 0 0 u u o u u u u u u u 0 u u u u 0 0 c 'a c c c c c c c 'a c c c 'a c 'a c c c c S c d �c is h= d a a a a a a 'a 'a 'a a a E10-12 P41 m 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 U U U U U U U Qj U U U U U U O O O O O O O 9 O O C O O O O c C C c C c c a C C C c c C c 0 0 0 0 O O O U o N O O O 0 0 0 O O O O O O O a O U O O O O O E E E E E E 'E _ E P E o E E 'E E o o o 0 0 0 O >0 o '" o U 0 0 0 0 y c c E c c c c o c 0 c 0 c c c c 0 m W O O O O O O O 'O Q O O O O O O O O O 6 c C c c c c c C 30 c -0 C c G C O O O O O O O O O LY O O O O U `O 50 C CC O O N C N N N N O 0 0 00 O N 'O O O O O 0 c c c C U U U U U U V U O U U U D c 0 a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 m 0 0 0 m 0 0� a 0 0 a O o 0 0 0 0 0 0 x O C O O O O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a a 0 o a 0 0 0 0 m m m 0 `0 `0 `m `0 m m s `0 `m t `m `v m `m n n n n a n a > > > > > > > ._ > 0 > 0 > > > > O O O Q Q Q Q Q Q Q N Q ❑ Q Z Q 6 Q Q � w W � � X 8 r S U W W p r z U U U U U U U U ❑ U U ❑ U U U U ❑ ❑ O ❑ U < a p a< U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ x l7 � N W W d S V] P Q U d — N v ci r cdd U p y.w u' N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N L N H_ w V d w W vNj v�j h h fN'l h v1 � d N h O h h N N N n S w W W W w W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W Z z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z.

Related Files: Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931. Design Parameters: The project site is comprised of five (5) vacant parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The site is approximately 585 feet (east to west) by approximately 869 feet (north to south). The site is vacant and is bound on the east, north and northwest by office development that occupy businesses such as Inland Empire Health Plan, CUNA Brokerage Services, and CorVel Corporation. To the west of the site, across Utica Avenue, is an undeveloped vineyard. To the south and southwest of the site, across 4th Street within the City of Ontario, are two apartment complexes (Vintage Apartments and Camden Landmark Apartments). This site once contained an industrial building and parking lot that was part of a large industrial complex occupied by General Dynamics. The building has since been removed and the parking lot and on -site landscape have not been maintained. The zoning of the abutting properties to the north is Planning Area IV and east Planning Area V within the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. The zoning of the properties to the west is Industrial Park (IP) District. The zoning of the property to the south is Urban Residential District (Ontario Center Specific Plan), which is within thejurisdiction of the City of Ontario. The applicant proposes to construct an industrial logistics building with a floor area of 232,058 square feet. The building will consist of two (2) office areas (26,700 square feet) and a warehouse area (205,358 square feet). The offices will be located at the southwest and northeast corners of the building. The dock loading area, with 33 dock doors, will be located along the west side of the building. There will be a trailer storage area with 34 trailer parking spaces located adjacent to the loading dock. The dock and trailer storage areas will be screened by a concrete tilt -up wall of 8 feet in height that will be architecturally compatible to the proposed building. There will be two (2) employee break area located near each office. Each will be a minimum of 500 square feet in area, as required by the Development Code. The building is required to have 179 passenger vehicle parking stalls; 255 parking stalls will be provided. Landscape coverage is 11.5 percent (59,428 square feet). Access to the site will be provided via three (3) driveways, two along Utica Avenue and one along 4th Street. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt -up construction and will contain a combination of blue reflective vision and spandrel glazing, clear anodized mullions and metal canopies. The south elevation, which will be visible along 4th Street, contains a significant amount of glazing. Downspouts will not be visible from the exterior on any elevation of the building as they will be routed through the interior of the building. The building will have a height of 40 feet and 3 inches. The exterior of the building will be painted a combination of various shades of white and gray. It should be noted that the applicant is also proposing to amend the Empire Lakes Specific Plan (ELSP) to increase the maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) within Planning Area 5. Currently, the ELSP limits the maximum FAR at .35. The project contains an FAR of .449 (232,058 square feet / 515,690 square feet). This component of the entitlement application will require a recommendation be made by the Planning Commission, with review and final action by the City Council. E10-12 P64 DRC COMMENTS DRC2016-00670 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES January 17, 2017 Page 2 Staff Comments: Overall, staff is supportive of the design of the project. Because of the site's adjacency to existing office development to the east, north and northwest, as well as the site's proximity to 4th Street and the Haven Avenue Overlay, staff concludes that there is a need to put special attention on the architecture of the proposed building. This feedback was provided to the applicant following the initial submittal of the application. Since then, the applicant revised the elevations and resubmitted the current design of the building. Staff notes that the applicant has made significant improvements to the building's design, particularly along 4th Street. With the exception of the current FAR requirements discussed in the ELSP, the project is in compliance with all other development standards, including setbacks, parking and building height. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. None. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Although staff is supportive of the design of the building, the Empire Lakes Specific Plan and Development Code require the building to have a minimum of two primary building materials. Acceptable materials include concrete, sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick, granite, or similar materials. Aside from the concrete tilt up panels, all other proposed materials qualify as secondary building materials (i.e., glass, metal awnings). Therefore, to meet this requirement, staff recommends providing textured concrete along various sections of the building. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: All Double Detector Checks (DDC) and Fire Department Connections (FDC) required and/or proposed shall be installed at locations that are not within direct view or line -of -sight of the main entrance. The specific locations of each DDC and FDC shall require the review and approval of the Planning Department and Fire Construction Services/Fire Department. All Double Detector Checks (DDC) and Fire Department Connections (FDC) shall be screened behind a 4-foot high block wall. These walls shall be constructed of similar material used on -site to match the building. 2. All ground -mounted equipment, including utility boxes, transformers, and back -flow devices, shall be surrounded by a minimum of two rows of shrubs spaced a minimum of 18 inches on - center. All ground -mounted equipment shall be painted dark green except as directed otherwise by the Fire Department. 3. The employee break area shall have an overhead trellis with cross members spaced no more than 18 inches on center with minimum dimensions of 4 inches by 12 inches. Each support column shall have a decorative base that incorporates the architectural design and finishes/trim used on the building. The trellis shall be painted to match the building, and tables, chairs/benches, and waste receptacles shall be provided. E10-12 P65 DRC COMMENTS DRC2016-00670 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES January 17, 2017 Page 3 4. All wrought iron fences and sliding gates shall be painted black or similarly dark color. 5. All walls, including retaining walls, exposed to public view shall be constructed of decorative masonry blocks, i.e. slump stone, split -face, or have a decorative finish such as stucco textured to match a concrete tilt up wall. Staff Recommendation: With the Secondary Issue addressed to the satisfaction of the Committee, staff recommends that the Committee recommend approval of the project and forward it to the Planning Commission for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: The Committee briefly discussed the project and staffs comments regarding two primary building materials. Staff explained that the applicant has been working with staff to provide the required second primary building material. A copy of the architectural elevations were provided to the Committee showing the placement of the material. The committee recommended approval with no additional issues and forwarded to Planning Commission.

The site is located at the northeast corner of 41h Street and Utica Avenue. The proposed project is a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics 'building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres) which currently contains remnants of an abandoned parking lot and a vacant pad. The surrounding properties are characterized by multi - tenant office buildings to the north and east, an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) to the south within the City of Ontario and vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time to the west. 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 the General Plan and the California Department of Conservation Farmland Map 2010, 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 farmland 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. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to agricultural resources caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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 northeast corner of 41h Street and Utica Avenue.

There are no agricultural uses within one mile of the project site. Furthermore, there are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land. Therefore, there is no potential for conversion of forest land to a non -forest use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to agricultural resources caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 3. AIR QUALITY. 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? c) 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 discussed in subsection b, the project would not exceed any air quality standards and would not interfere with the region's ability 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. No impacts anticipated.

When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to air quality caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. b) 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 (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PMlo), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and particulate matter (PMio and PM2.5) 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 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. SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within a 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 (FCAA) 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 (PMio), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), 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. Nonattainment 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 Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast Air Basin is in Non -Attainment Status for Ozone, PMIo and PM2.5. Specific criteria for determining whether the potential air quality significant are set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality include daily emissions thresholds, compliance with State impacts of a project are Handbook.

As prescribed by SCAQMD, an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment (July 14, 2016) was prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. that utilizes CALEEMOD (Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to air quality caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. Short Term (Construction): Project Emissions and Impacts The project proposes to develop a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised building on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). Approximately two- thirds of the project site contains an abandoned parking lot and approximately one-third of the site contains an undeveloped gravel pad with non-native ruderal plant species including grasses, landscaping trees and shrubs, which will be removed for development of the proposed project. The potential emissions associated with construction of the project are described in the following sections.

Exhaust emissions from construction activities envisioned on site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The use of construction equipment on site would result in localized exhaust emissions; however, as shown in the tables above, the amount will not exceed any threshold of significance. 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.

There is one industrial building proposed for the site. Per the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. dated July 14, 2016, it is estimated that the proposed project will result in a maximum of approximately 53.95 Ibs of VOC per day (combined for all construction sources) during construction. Therefore, this VOC emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 Ibs/day. 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 asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less than significant. Based on the discussion above and with implementation of the following Best Available Control Measures (BACM) identified in the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment (RK Engineering Group, Inc./July 14, 2016) as mitigation measures, short-term, construction impacts will be less -than -significant: 1) All clearing, grading, earth -moving, or excavation activities shall cease when winds exceed 25mph per SCAQMD guidelines in order to limit fugitive dust emissions. 2) The contractor shall ensure that all disturbed unpaved roads and disturbed areas within the Project are watered at least three (3) times daily during dry weather. Watering, with complete coverage of disturbed areas, shall occur at least three times a day, preferably in the midmorning, afternoon, and after work is done for the day. 3) The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads and Project site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less. 4) The project shall limit the daily disturbance area to 5 acres or less during grading. 5) The project shall comply with SCAQMD Rule 403.

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. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to be assessed. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G) estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (03), and Particulate Matter (PM2.e and PM10) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less -than -significant. This city-wide increase in emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR. With implementation of the following best practices and mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize short-term air quality impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant: 6) 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. 7) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit construction plans to the 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. 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) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108.

Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high -volume, low-pressure spray. 12) 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. • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. • Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25mph) in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 requirements. • Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 13) 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 PMio emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 14) 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 PM10 emissions. Project Long Term (Operational) Emissions and Impacts Long-term air pollutant emissions are those associated with stationary sources and mobile sources involving any project -related changes. The proposed project would result in a net increase in the amount of development in the area; therefore, the proposed project would result in net increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The stationary source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for on -site buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. As shown in the following tables, project implementation will not exceed any significance thresholds. No long-term, operational impacts will occur as a result of the project.

This City-wide increase in emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR. With implementation of the following mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant: 15) Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle services. 16) Schedule truck deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours. 17) Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with automated time clocks or occupant sensors. 18) Landscape with native and/or drought -resistant species to reduce water consumption and to provide passive solar benefits. 19) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure. 20) Comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources PRC-03, and Stationary Sources Operations Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance and ADV-MISC to reduce emissions of restaurant operations. 21) All industrial and commercial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks shall not be left idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes). 22) All industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking for vanpools. 23) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas. 24) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink schedule to the extent reasonably feasible. 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.

Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to air quality caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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 following 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 0.25 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within '/< mile of the following sensitive receptors: Vintage Apartments and Camden Landmark Apartments located south of the projects site within the City of Ontario and The Reserve at Empire Lakes Apartments located east of the project site within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Per the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. on July 14, 2016, The ongoing operation of the proposed project would generate toxic air contaminant emissions from diesel truck emissions created by the ongoing operation of the proposed project. The Health Risk Assessment goes on to indicate, All offsite diesel emissions concentrations were found to be below the 10.0 in a million cancer risk threshold discussed above in Section 5.1.5 for all age groups examined. Therefore, no significant long-term impacts would occur from the operation of diesel trucks on the project site. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan.

Comments: a) The project site is located at the northeast corner of 41h Street and Utica Avenue. The proposed project is a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). According to a Habitat Suitability Evaluation prepared Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P101 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 18 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Signifiant Wthon Mitigati Than Significant No tm act Incorporated Impact Im act by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016, The study area is characterized as a highly degraded and disturbed former commercial site dominated by non-native ruderal plant species (grasses, forbs, landscaping trees and shrubs). Debris in the form of soil/asphalt and other trash dumping is present on site. The western portion of the site is an abandoned concrete parking lot. The eastern portion of the site consists of gravels and non-native grassland (mowed/disced). The surrounding properties are characterized by multitenant office buildings surrounded by a parking lot adjacent to the north and east, an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) to the south, across 4th Street, within the City of Ontario and vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time, across Utica Avenue, to the west. The subject property is also adjacent to two improved streets; Utica Avenue to the west, and 4M Street to the south. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is within the Delhi Soils Area Boundary, which is an area of sensitive biological resources. Per the Habitat Suitability Evaluation prepared by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016, A review of soil maps prepared for the area by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS 2016) indicate that the subject site is located within an area mapped as containing Delhi fine sand (Db) and Hilmar coarse sandy loam HaC). However, various long-standing anthropogenic site disturbances have significantly altered the site's surface soil characteristics from those more typical undisturbed Delhi series soils. A general surface soils analysis was conducted due to the close association of Delhi Sands Flower -loving Fly (DSFF) to mostly open, sandy friable soils. Most of the on -site soils are covered with concrete and gravels. According, soil conditions are not consistent with potential DSFF habitat. Ecological Sciences, Inc. then states Based on the result of the evaluation, existing conditions present at the site are not consistent with those known or expected to support DSFF. No exposed natural or semi -natural open areas with unconsolidated wind -worked granitic soils or dunes are present. Exposure to historic and recurring substrate disturbances have substantial negative effects on potential DSFF habitat and may also prevent potentially suitable DSFF microhabitat soil conditions from developing. Substrate conditions are not consistent with those most often correlated with potential DSFF habitat. Although a few native plant species are present that are often associated with potential DSFF habitat, the context in which these species occur (e.g., scattered within highly disturbed site conditions) does not constitute a native plant community most commonly associated with potential DSFF habitat. There is no connectivity to the subject site from the nearest known (to us) DSFF population (3.4 miles southeast of the site) due to the presence of existing commercial development that entirely surrounds the site. While this species likely has the capability of dispersing over relatively large distances of seemingly unsuitable habitats under certain circumstances, it would be reasonable to assume (based on our current knowledge of the species) that the likelihood of DSFF dispersing to the subject site from the nearest known off -site occupied site would not be expected despite the fact that variables such as the length, width, and structural characteristics of dispersal corridors are not fully understood. Accordingly, the subject site would not be considered a viable property for preservation or restoration due to its geographic location and current/surrounding land uses which have fragmented potential DSFF habitat in the area.

The underlying soil environment appears to be the most definitive factor of whether an area could potentially support DSFF. Quality of Delhi soils present within the study area was rated for its potential to support DSFF. The area mapped as Delhi soils was visually inspected and rated based on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best quality and most suitable habitat in the permitted biologist's judgment: 1. Soils dominated by heavy deposits of alluvial material including coarse sands and gravels with little or no Delhi sands and evidence of soil compaction. Unsuitable. 2. Delhi sands are present but the soil characteristics include a predominance of alluvial materials (Tujunga Soils). Very Low Quality. 3. Although not clean, sufficient Delhi sands are present to prevent soil compaction. Some sandy soils exposed on the surface due to fossorial animal activity. Low Quality. 4. Abundant clean Delhi sands with little or no alluvial material or Tujunga soils present. Moderate. Low vegetative cover. Evidence of moderate degree of fossorial animal activity by vertebrates and invertebrates. Moderate Quality 5. Sand dune habitat with clean Delhi sands. High abundance of exposed sands on the soil surface. Low vegetative cover. Evidence (soil surface often gives under foot) of high degree of fossorial animal activity by vertebrates and invertebrates. High Quality Based on the above ratings and existing site conditions, the site would be considered Unsuitable for DSFF. In view of the site's highly degraded condition, exposure to long standing disturbances, and analyses of correlative habitat information from a wide range (e.g., relatively disturbed to more natural habitats) of occupied DSFF habitats in the region, the +/--11.86-acre site does not contain habitat suitable to support or sustain a DSFF population. It would be contrary to expectation that the FINS would require a focused protocol survey on such a degraded site. No mitigation is required for less than significant impacts under CEQA. The Habitat Suitability Evaluation was forwarded to the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) on October 19, 2016, in order to determine whether the USFWS concurred with the findings and opinion of the Delhi Sands Flower -loving Fly permitted biologist. According to an email response received from Amanda Swaller with USFWS on November 30, 2016, Based on our review of the assessment and site photos you provided and of digital imagery and other information in our files, we concur with the assessment's determination that the site is unsuitable for DSF (FWS-SB-13B0402-17CPA0032). Therefore, no further analysis was determined to be necessary and no impacts to the Delhi Sands Flower -loving Fly are anticipated. According to the Habitat Suitability Evaluation prepared by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016, No direct observations or burrowing owl (BUOIM signs (burrows, feathers, pellets, fecal material, prey remains, etc.) were recorded during the BUOIN habitat assessment. Bird species observed included those that are accustomed to nearby human presence such as common raven (Corvus corax), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), rock dove (Columba livia), and house sparrow (Passer domesticus).

Although the BUOW is well known to occur in certain disturbed situations, the BUOW generally prefers moderately to heavily grazed grasslands for nesting and roosting and generally avoids sites where recurring site disturbances occlude or collapse potential nesting refugia and reduce small mammal colonies. Monitoring of the site and adjacent areas during peak BUOW activity times did not reveal any indication that this species was present or utilizing the site for foraging purposes. The occurrence potential for BUOW would therefore be considered low. Based on the information provided above from the site survey, there is a low potential for the BUOW to occur onsite. Although no direct observations or Burrowing Owl signs (burrows, feathers, pellets, fecal material, prey remains, etc.) were observed during the 2016 field survey, there is potential for ground, tree, and shrub -nesting birds to establish nests on the Project Site in the future. Mitigation Measures listed below are included to reduce impacts to migratory songbirds and other potentially sensitive biological resources to less than significant levels. 1) Three days prior to the removal of vegetation or ground -disturbing activities, a breeding bird survey that is in conformance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act shall be required to determine whether nesting is occurring. Occupied nests shall not be disturbed unless a qualified biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either (a) the adult birds have not begun egg -laying or incubation; or (b) the juveniles from the occupied nests are foraging independently and are capable of independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300 feet of non -raptor nests, and within 5,000 feet of raptor nests, during the breeding season to avoid abandonment of young. If nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area shall be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 2) Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity. The survey shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol: Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and Non -breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre -construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre -construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre -construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid Impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P104 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 21 Less Than 71PS19M1Pnt Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: entially wth Than nifcant Mitigation Si Incor crated Im act Im act measures shall be based on the most current CDFW protocols and will at minimum include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground -disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre -construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls. During the non -breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non -migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre -construction survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines. During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. The Habitat Suitability Evaluation goes on to indicate that the existing degraded condition of the site is the direct consequence of long-standing use of the site for commercial activities resulting in low biological diversity (e.g., dominance of non-native species), absence of special -status plant communities, and low potential for special -status species to utilize or reside on site. Construction activities would not be expected to directly impact federal- or state -listed threatened or endangered species, jeopardize the continued existence of listed species (or special -status species), nor directly impact designated critical habitat. Site development would also not be expected to substantially alter the diversity of plants or wildlife in the area because of current degraded site conditions. The loss of these habitats would not be expected to substantially affect special -status resources or cause a population of plant or wildlife species to drop below self-sustaining levels. Therefore, it is anticipated that other than the potential impacts to migratory birds and burrowing owls, which mitigation measures are provided for above, the proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identifiedas 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.

When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to candidate, sensitive, or special status species caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities and no riparian habitat exists on -site due to the on -site and surrounding improvements and characteristics as described in 4.a above. As a result, project implementation would have no impact on these resources.

When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to federally protected wetlands caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous natural open space areas. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south trending tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence. The project site is located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue within an existing office and industrial area that is largely developed. The surrounding properties are characterized by multitenant office buildings surrounded by a parking lot adjacent to the north and east, an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) to the south, across 4th Street, within the City of Ontario and vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time, across Utica Avenue, to the west. The subject property is also adjacent to two improved streets; Utica Avenue to the west, and 4th Street to the south. Due to the site configuration, it is not anticipated that the project will create impacts to migratory wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursery sites. However, the project does involve the removal of one hundred twenty eight (128) existing mature trees. Therefore, there may be direct impacts to migratory bird species nesting in these trees at the time of construction. Because of this, mitigation measures are provided in section 4.a) above which will reduce the impact to less -than -significant. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. e) According to an Arborist Report prepared by Steve F. Andresen on August 1, 2016, an on - site visit and inspection of one hundred twenty eight (128) existing mature trees located at 41h Street and Utica Avenue was conducted. Based on this review, there were a total of four (4) heritage trees located on the property measuring twenty inches or greater in Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P106 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 23 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Panifi aly With man Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inw cratetl Im ad Im act caliper width. All four heritage trees were determined to be Canary Island Pine trees and were determined to be in average to good health without irrigation or care. Heritage trees are subject to the City's tree preservation requirements as described in Section 17.80.050 of the Development Code. Heritage trees are defined in the Development Code as trees that meet several criteria including the following: all eucalyptus windrows [and] any tree in excess of thirty feet (30) in height and having a single trunk diameter at breast height (DBH) of twenty inches (20') or more as measured four and a half feet (4.5) from ground level and warrant consideration for preservation or relocation. The applicant proposes to remove all of these trees (Related file: Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-00845) and, therefore, project implementation will result in the removal of the heritage trees. The following mitigation measure shall reduce the impact to less -than -significant. 3) Each tree that is removed shall be replaced with a new tree, on a one-to-one basis, of a minimum 15-gallon size. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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.

Comments: a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). Therefore, there will be no impact. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan.

Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during all initial ground disturbing activities, including grubbing, tree removal, demolition, grading, trenching, excavation and planting, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist meeting the Secretary of Interior's Professional Qualification Standards (SOI), to monitor construction activities, and to take appropriate measures to avoid, minimize, or substantially reduce project - related impacts. With the assistance of the qualified 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 • Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2 Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a park or green space or paying an in -kind mitigation fee. • Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving and Tribe(s) culturally affiliated with the geographic location of the project site. • In the event Native American cultural resources are discovered during project activities, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will retain a Native American monitor from a tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated to assist the SOI-qualified archaeologist. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan.

When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to archeological resources caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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.

The project site has already been disrupted by the construction of onsite and adjacent infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual discing for weed abatement. 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 7050.50) 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. In any event, the mitigation measure listed below will further reduce potential impacts caused by disturbance any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries. 3) In accordance with State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.50 subdivision (c), the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Applicant shall immediately notify the County Coroner and no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner has 24 hours to notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC shall then identify the person(s) thought to be the Most Likely Descendent (MILD). After the MILD has inspected the remains and the site, they have 48 hours to recommend to the landowner the treatment or disposition, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated funerary objects. Upon the reburial of the human remains, the MILD shall file a record of the reburial with the NAHC and the project archaeologist shall file a record of the reburial with the CHRIS-SCCIC. If the NAHC is unable to identify a MILD, or the MILD identified fails to make a recommendation, or the landowner rejects the recommendation of the MILD and the mediation provided for in Subdivision (k) of Section 5097.94, if invoked, fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner, the landowner or his or her authorized representative shall inter the human remains and items associated with Native American human remains with appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further and future subsurface disturbance.

Comments: a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Red Hill Fault, passes within 2.9 miles north of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault 'Zone lies approximately 5.9 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is about 18 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is about 20 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard Conditions will ensure that geologic impacts are less -than -significant.

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 generate 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 PM10 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 Pli 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 PM10 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 PM10 emissions.

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. The site is not within an Earthquake hazard zone or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-2. Soil types on -site consist of Delhi fine sand (Db) and Hilmar coarse sandy loam (HaC) according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3 and a Habitat Suitability Analysis conducted by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016.

Additionally, on December 7, 2009 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) 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 6 key GHGs (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)). 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 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (OF) 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 CO2 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 was 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 qualitative analysis (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 pollutants except PM1o, PM2.6, and SO2 which are monitored at the Fontana -Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PMto, and PM2.6 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly.

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. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has not adopted a threshold of significance for GHG emissions. However, a screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year is based upon South Coast Air Quality Management District staff's proposed GHG screening threshold for stationary sources emissions for non -industrial projects, as described in the SCAQMD's Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules and Plans. Project related GHG's would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment prepared by RK Engineering on July 14, 2016, total project related emissions would be 2,527.26 MTCO2eq/year, as shown in the following table: Unmitigated Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions During Operation u V tin. issionSource .Emissioris(M)CW Area Source 0.02 Energy Source 263.55 Mobile Source 1873.67 Waste 100.75 Water 271.39 Subtotal (Operation) 2509.38 Subtotal Construction (averaged over 30 years) 17.88 Total Annual Emissions 2,527.26 CAP Screening Threshold 31000 Exceeds Screening Threshold?

Cumulative 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, workers 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, Cho, and,N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment prepared by RK Engineering on July 14, 2016, no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term construction impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. In any event, the mitigation measures from the General Plan Update FPEIR that are listed below will further reduce impacts caused by Short Term (Construction) GHG Emissions: 1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAQMD 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. 2) The construction contractor shall select construction equipment based on low -emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on the grading plan that ensures all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufactures' specification. 3) Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes. 4) Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or diesel -powered engines where feasible. 5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak -hour traffic. 6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for the construction crew. Cumulative Lonq 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.

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 a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres) 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 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 emission including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, bike racks, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks. The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the CARB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. The proposed project will incorporate several design features including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks. 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. Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment prepared by RK Engineering on July 14, 2016, no significant impacts to GHGs from long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. In any event, the mitigation measures from the General Plan Update FPEIR that are listed below will further reduce impacts caused by Long Term (Operational) GHG Emissions: 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.

Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. Educate employees about reducing waste and about recycling. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) generated by Greenhouse Gas Emissions by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. b) The project involves the construction of a 232,058 square foot logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised building on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres), which is consistent with the General Plan. 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 diverse opportunities. The proposed project includes water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks and therefore is consistent with the sustainability and climate change policies of the General Plan.

A Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment prepared by RK Engineering on July 14, 2016, no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term, construction impacts or long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to GHGs from short-term construction and long-term operational cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. With implementation of the mitigation measures listed in subsection a), less than significant impacts would occur as a result of the project. In addition, the proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by AB 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) created by conflicts with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 8.

() (j () (✓) 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. 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) to 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.

A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare an 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 Alta Civil Design in October, 2016, which identifies 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 following mitigation measures are 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 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. 5) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NCI) 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 Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P124 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 41 Less Than SigniFlcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pelenliaoy wm man Significant Miggalicn Significant No Impactt Inmr orateE Im act Im act Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit.

Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to water quality standards or waste discharge requirements caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. b) According to 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. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but 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.

The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system designed to adequately convey floodwaters from a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete -lined channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Figure PS-6.

Comments: a) The project site is located on the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue; approximately 0.25 mile east of Haven Avenue. There are some on -site, street -facing improvements along the overall street frontage of the project site including landscape, trees and an abandoned parking lot. There are no buildings on -site; it is currently vacant. The property is bound on the north and east by several parcels that are developed with multitenant office buildings that contain sufficient parking lot and landscape improvements. To the south, across 41h Street, is the Camden Landmark Apartment complex within the City of Ontario. To the west, across Utica Avenue, is vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time. The site will be developed with an industrial building that will be similar to the newer buildings in the industrial areas of the City. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. The project is located within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, which allows for industrial development. The proposal is for the construction a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined Area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The site will be developed with an industrial building that will be similar to the newer buildings in the industrial areas of the City. The minimum building, parking lot, and wall setbacks; dock and storage area screening; and landscape coverage are consistent with the Development Code and the General Plan. However, the current maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) (FAR) required within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan is 0.35. The project involves the construction of an industrial development with an FAR of 0.45. In addition to the Design Review for the proposed development of the site, the applicant is also proposing to amend the Empire Lakes Specific Plan to increase the maximum allowable FAR within Planning Area 5 from 0.35 to 0.50. The proposed change is consistent with the allowable standards within the immediate vicinity and therefore impacts are anticipated. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to any land use plan, policy, or regulation caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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 located within the Delhi Soils Area Boundary and is therefore within an area of sensitive biological resources. The applicant submitted a Habitat Suitability Evaluation prepared by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016. The study analyzed the site suitability to support the federally -listed endangered Delhi Sands flower -loving fly (DSFF). Per the evaluation, A review of soil maps prepared for the area by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS 2016) indicate that the subject site is located within an area mapped as containing Delhi fine sand (Db) and Hilmar coarse sandy loam HaC). However, various long-standing anthropogenic site disturbances have significantly altered the site's surface soil characteristics from those more typical undisturbed Delhi series soils. A general surface soils analysis was conducted due to the close association of DSFF to mostly open, sandy friable soils. Most of the on -site soils are covered with concrete and gravels. According; soil conditions are not consistent with potential DSFF habitat.

No exposed natural or semi -natural open areas with unconsolidated wind -worked granitic soils or dunes are present. Exposure to historic and recurring substrate disturbances have substantial negative effects on potential DSFF habitat and may also prevent potentially suitable DSFF microhabitat soil conditions from developing. Substrate conditions are not consistent with those most often correlated with potential DSFF habitat. Although a few native plant species are present that are often associated with potential DSFF habitat, the context in which these species occur (e.g., scattered within highly disturbed site conditions) does not constitute a native plant community most commonly associated with potential DSFF habitat. There is no connectivity to the subject site from the nearest known (to us) DSFF population (3.4 miles southeast of the site) due to the presence of existing commercial development that entirely surrounds the site. While this species likely has the capability of dispersing over relatively large distances of seemingly unsuitable habitats under certain circumstances, it would be reasonable to assume (based on our current knowledge of the species) that the likelihood of DSFF dispersing to the subject site from the nearest known off -site occupied site would not be expected despite the fact that variables such as the length, width, and structural characteristics of dispersal corridors are not fully understood. Accordingly, the subject site would not be considered a viable property for preservation or restoration due to its geographic location and current/surrounding land uses which have fragmented potential DSFF habitat in the area. Under current conditions, the site would be considered prohibitive to DSSF occupation. The underlying soil environment appears to be the most definitive factor of whether an area could potentially support DSFF. Quality of Delhi soils present within the study area was rated for its potential to support DSFF. The area mapped as Delhi soils was visually inspected and rated based on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best quality and most suitable habitat in the permitted biologist's judgment: 6. Soils dominated by heavy deposits of alluvial material including coarse sands and gravels with little or no Delhi sands and evidence of soil compaction. Unsuitable. 7. Delhi sands are present but the soil characteristics include a predominance of alluvial materials (Tujunga Soils). Very Low Quality. 8. Although not clean, sufficient Delhi sands are present to prevent soil compaction. Some sandy soils exposed on the surface due to fossorial animal activity. Low Quality. 9. Abundant clean Delhi sands with little or no alluvial material or Tujunga soils present. Moderate. Low vegetative cover. Evidence of moderate degree of fossorial animal activity by vertebrates and invertebrates. Moderate Quality 10. Sand dune habitat with clean Delhi sands. High abundance of exposed sands on the soil surface. Low vegetative cover. Evidence (soil surface often gives under foot) of high degree of fossorial animal activity by vertebrates and invertebrates. High Quality Based on the above ratings and existing site conditions, the site would be considered Unsuitable for DSFF. In view of the site's highly degraded condition, exposure to long Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P130 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 47 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially wit' Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inca orated Impact impact standing disturbances, and analyses of correlative habitat information from a wide range (e.g., relatively disturbed to more natural habitats) of occupied DSFF habitats in the region, the +/--11.86-acre site does not contain habitat suitable to support or sustain a DSFF population. It would be contrary to expectation that the FWS would require a focused protocol survey on such a degraded site. No mitigation is required for less than significant impacts under CEQA. The Habitat Suitability Evaluation was forwarded to the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) on October 19, 2016, in order to determine whether the USFWS concurred with the findings and opinion of the Delhi Sands Flower -loving Fly permitted biologist. According to an email response received from Amanda Swaller with USFWS on November 30, 2016, Based on our review of the assessment and site photos you provided and of digital imagery and other information in our files, we concur with the assessment's determination that the site is unsuitable for DSF (FWS-SB-13B0402-17CPA0032). Therefore, no further analysis was determined to be necessary and no impacts are anticipated. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to any conservation plan caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 11.

NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in () (✓) 0 ( ) excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive () () () (✓) ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise () () () (✓) levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in () (✓) () ( ) ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, () () () (✓) where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, () () () (✓) would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Comments: a) The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Figure PS-9 at build -out. The project site is located at the northeast corner of 41h Street and Utica Avenue approximately %< mile east of Haven Avenue. The project involves a proposal to construct a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205.358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised building on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined Area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres) which currently contains an abandoned parking lot and a vacant pad. The street frontage along 4th Street is about 600 feet and along Utica Avenue is 880 feet. There are no buildings onsite; the site is currently vacant. The property is bound on the north and east by several parcels that are developed with multitenant office buildings containing parking and landscape improvements. To the south, across 4th Street, is the Camden Landmark Apartment complex within the City of Ontario. To the west, across Utica Avenue, is vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time. A noise study was prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. on July 13, 2016, in which short term as well as long term noise impacts were analyzed. Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P132 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 49 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pptentially Wally Than Significant Mitigation Signifcant No Impact Incorporated Im act Im act Construction Noise Levels The study includes data compiled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding noise generating characteristics of typical construction activities (Table 6). The noise levels would diminish rapidly with distance from the construction site at a rate of 6 dBA per doubling of distance. For example, a noise level of 86 dBA measured 50 feet from the noise source would reduce to 80 dBA at 100 feet. At 200 feet from the noise source the noise level would be reduced to 74 dBA. Contractors are required to comply with the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Noise Ordinance during construction as described in Appendix A. The City has an exemption for noise created during construction. Also, construction is limited to certain hours of the day. The project will not have a significant impact to the adjacent land uses, based on the City's noise ordinance. Operational Noise Levels Upon completion of the construction of the project, noise from the site will most likely be generated by truck traffic and dock area activities — all other activities will be conducted within the buildings. The dock area will be screened from the street by a concrete tilt -up wall of a minimum 8 feet in height. There are no sensitive receptors immediately adjacent to the project site. The nearest noise sensitive area is an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) located to the south of the project site, on the opposite side of 4th Street, in the City of Ontario. The nearest apartment unit/building is about 170 feet from the perimeter of the project. According to the Noise Study, the largest increase in noise levels is along Utica Avenue between 6th and 4th Street, where an increase of up to 0.8 dBA is predicted for the Existing With Project scenario. A noise level increase of 3 dBA or more is perceptible to the human ear and would be considered significant. All other roadways in the project area would have a traffic noise increase of 0.1 dBA or less. All nearby land uses would experience a nominal increase in ambient noise as it relates to traffic. Therefore, the project would have a less than significant impact to roadway noise and no mitigation measures on off -site noise -sensitive land uses are required. In addition to the anticipated off -site traffic noise impacts, the Noise Study also analyzes the on -site traffic noise impacts that will be generated by the proposed project. Sensitive receptors that may be affected by the proposed operational noise include surrounding residential to the south of the project site. The worst -case transportation and stationary noise was modeled utilizing the SoundPLAN model. Noise sources associated with the proposed parking areas, idling trucks, loading and unloading activities were assumed to occur at all hours of the day. Noise would be generated by the trucks' diesel engines, exhaust systems, braking, and forklifts. Exhibit D in the Noise Study evaluated the future operational noise levels at the sensitive receptors. Based on this, future operational noise levels are expected to range from 33.2 to 50.9 dBA. The operational noise level is below the City's most strict nighttime 60 dBA limit and is therefore consistent with the City's Noise Element and Municipal Code. The project's Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) at the nearest sensitive receptors will range between 52 and 57 dBA CNEL, which is consistent with the City's General Plan and would therefore be considered less than significant with Mitigation, Furthermore, the study analyzed future interior noise impacts. Based on the data provided in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Protective Noise Levels (EPA 550/9-79- 100, Nov 1979), standard homes in Southern California provide at least 12 dBA of noise exterior to interior noise attenuation with windows open and 20 dBA with windows closed.

With the windows open, residences would need to be exposed to a worst -case noise level of 56 dBA CNEL (45 dBA + 12 dBA = 57 dBA) to exceed the interior noise standard of 45 dBA CNEL with windows open. Based on the discussion above, the closest residences (located south of 4th Street) would be exposed to noise levels of 65 dBA CNEL with windows closed. Therefore, based upon standard home construction assembly design, the interior noise level within the residences would be 45 dBA CNEL and would not exceed the City's interior noise limit. The project would have a less than significant impact. Therefore, based on the information provided in the Noise Study, the proposed project would not expose people to or generate noise levels in excess of the standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. In any event, the mitigation measures listed below will further reduce exterior and interior noise levels: 1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction -related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 2) Business operations shall maintain a noise level at 60dB or less during the hours of 10:00 p.m, until 7:00 a.m. No loading and unloading activities including opening, closing, or other handling of boxes, crates, containers, building materials, garbage cans, or other similar objects between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in a manner which would cause a noise disturbance to residential areas. 3) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction -related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 4) Business operations shall maintain a noise level at 60dB or less during the hours of 10 p.m. until 7 p.m. No loading and unloading activities including opening, closing, or other handling of boxes, crates, containers, building materials, garbage cans, or other similar objects between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 p.m. in a manner which would cause a noise disturbance to residential areas. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) due to noise caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. b) The proposed industrial buildings are to be constructed as speculative with no definitive users at this time. The City's Development Code requires that all industrial uses be Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P134 Initial'Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 51 Leas Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially cam Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incor arateE Impact Impact conducted within an enclosed building; hence, no adverse operational impact to nearby commercial and residential uses is expected. However, at the time of occupancy the Planning Department will review each Business License for each tenant to determine the potential impacts to the surrounding residential uses. There are no sensitive receptors immediately adjacent to the project site. The nearest noise sensitive area is an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) located to the south of the project site, on the opposite side of 4th Street, in the City of Ontario. The nearest apartment unitibuilding is about 170 feet from the perimeter of the project. Per the Noise Study prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. on July 13, 2016, Construction activities can produce vibration that may be felt by adjacent land uses. The construction of the proposed project would not require the use of equipment such as pile drivers, which are known to generate substantial construction vibration levels. The primary source vibration during construction may be from a bull dozer. A small dozer has a vibration impact of 0.003 inches per second PPV at 25 feet. The distance of the construction equipment will be further that 25 feet from any existing building. It is anticipated that no significant vibration impact will occur to any adjacent buildings due to the distance of construction equipment from the buildings. The project is not anticipated to have a vibration impact and is considered not significant. In any event, the measures listed under 12A will further reduce exterior and interior noise levels to less -than -significant levels. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) due to vibrations caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. Noise from the site will most likely be generated by truck traffic and dock area activities — all other activities will be conducted within the buildings. The dock area will be screened from the street by a concrete tilt -up wall of a minimum 8 feet in height. There are no sensitive receptors immediately adjacent to the project site. The nearest noise sensitive area is an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) located to the south of the project site, on the opposite side of 4th Street, in the City of Ontario. The nearest apartment unit/building is about 170 feet from the perimeter of the project. Per the Noise Study, the largest increase in noise levels is along Utica Avenue between 61h and 41h Street, where an increase of up to 0.8 d8A is predicted for the Existing With Project scenario. A noise level increase of 3 d8A or more is perceptible to the human ear and would be considered significant. All other roadways in the project area would have a traffic noise increase of 0.1 d8A or less. All nearby land uses would experience a nominal increase in ambient noise as it relates to traffic. Therefore, the project would have a less than significant impact to roadway noise and no mitigation measures on off --site noise -sensitive land uses are required. In any event, the measures listed in 12.a will mitigate the permanent long-term noise impacts to a level of less than significant. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan.

The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: 1) Construction cannot take place between the hours of 8:00 PM and 7:00 AM 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 17.66.060, as measured at the property line. Developer shall hire.a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050. 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) Stationary construction noise sources such as generators or pumps should be located at least 300 feet from sensitive land uses, as feasible. 4) Construction staging areas should be located as far from noise sensitive land uses as feasible. 5) During construction, the contractor shall ensure all construction equipment is equipped with appropriate noise attenuating devices. 6) Idling equipment shall be turned off when not in use. 7) Equipment shall be maintained so that vehicles and their loads are secured from rattling and banging. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on -site construction equipment but 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 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a 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 and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haulroutes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings.

When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) due to substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. e) The site is located within an airport land use plan and is within 2 miles of a public airport. The Project is located approximately 1.5 miles northeasterly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path and is within the CNEL noise contour. The applicant has submitted a Noise Study, prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. on July 13, 2016. which analyzed airport source noise impacts. Per the study, The project site is located 1.42 miles north of the Ontario International Airport. The project site is located outside the confluence of 60 d8A noise contour and therefore the impact is less than significant. No mitigation is required. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) due to excessive noise levels generated by airports in the vicinity of those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. 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 not induce population growth. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. Once constructed, the proposed project will have a limited number of employees; hence, will not create a demand for additional housing as a majority of the employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. No significant impacts are anticipated.

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. Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. 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. Biane 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.

TRANS PORTATIONITRAFFIC. 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) The proposed project involves the construction of a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 'square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres) which currently contains remnants of an abandoned parking lot and a vacant pad located within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue - APN: 0210-082-78, 79, 84, 89 & 90. Based on a Trip Generation Analysis prepared by Translutions, Inc. on June 21, 2016, the project is forecast to generate 41 PCE trips during the a.m. peak hour, 46 PCE trips during the p.m. peak hour, and 624 daily PCE 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 minor street improvements 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 Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P141 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 58 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potential' wIn Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Im act Incorporated Impact Impact established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits.

Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to the performance of the transportation/traffic circulation system caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. b) Based on a Trip Generation Analysis prepared by Translutions, Inc. on June 21, 2016, the project is forecast to generate 41 PCE trips during the a.m. peak hour, 46 PCE trips during the p.m. peak hour, and 624 daily PCE trips. Since the trip generation of the project is less than 50 trips during any peak hour, it is our professional opinion that a traffic study should not be required and that the project impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. In November 2004. San Bernardino County voters passed the 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.

TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of () () () (✓) Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)? b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its () (✓) () ( ) discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe? Comments: a) The project site is located at the northeast corner of 41h Street and Utica Avenue. The proposed project is a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics building containing 26,500 square feet of office space and 205,358 square feet dedicated to the warehousing use on a property comprised on a property comprised of five (5) parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). According to a Habitat Suitability Evaluation submitted by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016, The study area is characterized as a highly degraded and disturbed former commercial site dominated by non-native ruderal plant species (grasses, forbs, landscaping trees and shrubs). Debris in the form of soil/asphalt and other trash dumping is present on site. The western portion of the site is an abandoned concrete parking lot. The eastern portion of the site consists of gravels and non-native grassland (mowed/disced). The surrounding properties are characterized by multitenant office buildings surrounded by a parking lot adjacent to the north and east, an apartment complex (Camden Landmark Apartments) to the south, across 41h Street, within the City of Ontario and vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time, across Utica Avenue, to the west. The subject property is also adjacent to two improved streets; Utica Avenue to the west, and 4th Street to the south. A Cultural Resource Assessment was prepared by Psomas in July of 2016. The study was conducted to determine the potential for adverse impacts to any cultural resources that would result from the project. According to the study, the results of the records search indicate that the property has not been the subject of an archaeological investigation, nor have any cultural resources been recorded on or within % mile of the property. The paleontological records search revealed that no previously recorded vertebrate paleontology fossil sites are present on or near the property. The field survey did not result in the discovery of any cultural resources. Furthermore, the project site is not listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k). Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Additionally, in accordance with SB18 and AB52, on January 12, 2017, Native American communities including, San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, Ramona Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians, Morongo Band of Mission Indians, Los Coyotes Band of Mission Indians, Gabrieleno-Tongva Tribe, Gabrieleno-Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council, Gabrieleno-Tongva Nation, Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/Kizh Nation, Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians, Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, Augustine Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, San Fernando Band of Mission Indians, Santa Rosa Band of Mission Indians and Serrano Nation of Mission Indians were contacted to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as a result of the project. The City was contacted via email on January 25, 2017, by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians who stated a records check of the ACBCI cultural registry revealed that this project is not located within the Tribe's Traditional Use Area (TUA). Therefore, we defer to the other tribes in the area. This letter shall conclude our consultation efforts. The City was also contacted via email on March 7, 2017, by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians who requested that a Cultural Resource Assessment be sent over to their Cultural Resources Management Department for further review in order to determine whether the Tribe will pursue further consultation. The Tribe also requested to review the draft mitigation measures relating to cultural and tribal cultural resources. On April 6, 2017. the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians forwarded their comments relating to the draft mitigations and concluded their input on this project. No other contact was made by any of the other Tribes listed above. Although the Cultural Resource Assessment did not indicate that cultural resources were reordered within a % mile radius of the site and the field survey did not result in the discovery of any cultural resources, it is still possible that a tribal cultural resource could be discovered during the grading and construction of the site. With the following mitigation measure, which was provided in the Cultural Resource Assessment and reviewed by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indian's Cultural Resources Management Department, impacts to the tribal cultural resources will be less than significant. 1) In the event that cultural resources are inadvertently unearthed during excavation and grading activities, the Contractor shall immediately cease all Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P145 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 62 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incor osinetl Impact Im aG earth -disturbing activities within a 100-foot radius of the area of discovery. The Property Owner/Developer shall retain a qualified Archaeologist (Project Archaeologist), subject to approval by the City of Rancho Cucamonga, to evaluate the significance of the find and to determine an appropriate course of action, this will include preparation of a treatment plan and/or Discovery and Monitoring Plan, of which shall be provided to the tribe for review and comment. All artifacts except for human remains and related grave goods or sacred objects belong to the Property Owner. All artifacts discovered at the development site shall be inventoried and analyzed by the Project Archaeologist. If any artifacts of Native American origin are discovered, the Property Owner/Developer and Project Archaeologist shall notify the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department and the appropriate local Native American tribe identified by the Native American Heritage Commission. The significance of Native American resources shall be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and shall consider the religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the tribe. All items found, in association with Native American human remains shall be considered grave goods or sacred in origin and subject to special handling. Native American artifacts that cannot be avoided or relocated at the project site shall be prepared in a manner for curation and the Project Archaeologist shall deliver the materials to an accredited curation facility approved by the City of Rancho Cucamonga within a reasonable amount of time. Non -Native American artifacts shall be inventoried, assessed, and analyzed for cultural affiliation, personal affiliation (prior ownership), function, and temporal placement. Subsequent to analysis and reporting, these artifacts shall be subjected to curation or returned to the Property Owner/Developer, as deemed appropriate. Once ground -altering activities have ceased or the Project Archaeologist determines that monitoring activities are no longer necessary, monitoring activities may be discontinued following notification to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department. A report of findings, including an itemized inventory of recovered artifacts, shall be prepared upon completion of the steps outlined above. The report shall include a discussion of the significance of all recovered artifacts. The report and inventory, when submitted to the City of Rancho.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the () (✓) () ( ) quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually () () () (✓) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects that will () (✓) () ( ) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: a) The project site is located on the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue, approximately % mile east of Haven Avenue. The project site consists of five (5) parcels, and when combined, are approximately 520 feet (east to west) by 860 feet (north to south) with a combined area of about 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The frontage of three of the parcels (APNs: 0210-082-78, 89 & 90) along Utica Avenue contains street improvements, including paving, curb and gutter. The frontage of three of the parcels (APNs: 0210-082-78, 79 & 84) along 4th Street contains street improvements, including Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P149 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 66 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Im act In<o c2tetl Im act Im act paving, curb, gutter and sidewalk. There are onsite, street -facing improvements along the overall street frontage of the project site including landscape, trees and an abandoned parking lot. There are no buildings onsite; it is currently vacant. The property is bound on the north and east by several parcels that are developed with multitenant office buildings containing parking and landscape improvements. To the south, across 4th Street, is the Camden Landmark Apartment complex within the City of Ontario. To the west, across Utica Avenue, is vacant property that appears to have been used as a vineyard and has been inactive for an uncertain amount of time. According to the Habitat Suitability Evaluation submitted by Ecological Sciences, Inc. on September 21, 2016, the subject site was surveyed and ultimately characterized as a highly degraded and disturbed former commercial site dominated by non-native ruderal plant species (grasses, forbs, landscaping trees and shrubs). Debris in the form of soil/asphalt and other trash dumping is present on site. The western portion of the site is an abandoned concrete parking lot. The eastern portion of the site consists of gravels and non-native grassland (mowed/disced). Based on the site's current condition and the existing adjacent development, it is not anticipated that the proposed project would degrade the quality of the environment or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Based on the Habitat Suitability Evaluation discussed above in the Biological Resources section, the site was analyzed to determine whether it is suitable for various species, such as Delhi Sands Flower -loving Fly and Burrowing Owl. The evaluation also discussed the habitat observed during a site survey. Ultimately, the biologist determined that the proposed industrial project would not be expected to degrade the quality of the environment, to substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Mitigation measures were added in the Biological Resources section that would reduce any potential impacts to migratory birds and Burrowing Owls to less than significant levels. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to biological and cultural resources caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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 Rev 3-1-16 E10-12 P150 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Design Review DRC2016-00670 and Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 Page 67 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. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the cumulative impacts (if any) caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Study and Health Risk Assessment (RK Engineering Group, Inc./July 14, 2016) that utilizes CALEEMOD (Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions for Regional and localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As stated in the Air Quality Section, proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission. levels to less than significant levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less -than -significant levels. Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 will increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.35 to 0.50 within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. Adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within Planning Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City, the impact (if any) to human beings, either directly or indirectly, caused by those projects will be evaluated and, if necessary, the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented.

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 betaken 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 E10-12 P173 Mitigation Monitoring Program Project 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 bythe project planner or responsible City department and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel. 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 afterwritten 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. E10-12 P174 RESOLUTION NO. 17-49 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2016-00931 TO AMEND THE EMPIRE LAKES SPECIFIC PLAN TO INCREASE THE ALLOWABLE FAR FROM .35 TO .5 WITHIN AREA 5 OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION A 232,058 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE LOGISTICS AND OFFICE BUILDING ON A PROPERTY COMPRISED OF FIVE (5) PARCELS WITH A COMBINED AREA 515,690 SQUARE FEET (11.84 ACRES) WHICH CURRENTLY CONTAINS REMNANTS OF AN ABANDONED PARKING LOT AND A VACANT PAD LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 4TH STREET AND UTICA AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF. A. Recitals. 1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application on behalf of IDS Real Estate Group for Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Specific Plan Amendment is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 24th day of May, 2017, 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 May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a 515,690 square foot site located within the City at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue in Area 5 of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan; and b. The site is bound on the east, north and northwest by office development. To the west of the site, across Utica Avenue, is an undeveloped vineyard. To the south and southwest of the site, across 4th Street within the City of Ontario, are two apartment complexes (Vintage Apartments and Camden Landmark Apartments). The zoning of the abutting properties to the north is Planning Area IV and east Planning Area V within the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. The zoning of the properties to the west is Industrial Park (IP) District. The zoning of the property to the south is Urban Residential District (Ontario Center Specific Plan), which is within thejurisdiction of the City of Ontario; and E10-12 P175 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-49 SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2016-00931 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 2 C. This subject vacant property once contained an office building and parking lot that was part of a large industrial complex occupied by General Dynamics. The building has since been removed and the parking lot and on -site landscape have not been maintained; and d. The project involves a proposal to construct a 232,058 square foot warehouse logistics and office building (Design Review DRC2016-00670) and a proposal to remove four (4) existing heritage trees on the subject property (Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00671); and e. The Empire Lakes Specific Plan (ELSP) consists of eleven (11) "Planning Areas'. The project site is located within Planning Area 5. The maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) permitted in this Planning Area is 35 percent (0.35). Based on the subject parcel's area of 515,690 square feet, the maximum floor area of the proposed industrial building would be 180,491 square feet. The proposed building has a floor area of 232,058 square feet that will result in a FAR of 44.9 percent (0.45); and f. The Specific Plan as implemented has been developed over time with office developments where a FAR of 35 percent (0.35) was appropriate because the footprint allowed for required parking to support the office land uses. Reducing the floor area of the building to comply with the current maximum FAR is uneconomical for the applicant's client. Furthermore, it is impractical as this results in leaving the subject property relatively unusable for any other purpose besides parking and landscaping, which is not necessary to support an industrial use; and g. The applicant is proposing to amend the ELSP to increase the FAR to 50 percent (0.50). Although this increase is greater than the amount the applicant currently needs, this will ensure that the building, once constructed, will continue to conform with the ELSP if future tenant(s) of the building need the flexibility to expand and/or create additional interior office area should their operation(s) require it; and h. The increase in the FAR would establish consistency with the maximum FAR permitted in the General Industrial (GI) and Industrial Park (IP) Districts which both have maximum FARs of 60 percent (0.60). It would also allow the subject property to be developed similarly to the adjacent property located to the west across Utica Avenue. The proposed amendment would apply only to Planning Area 5 of the ELSP. The FAR of all other Planning Areas within ELSP would be unchanged. 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. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs. General Plan Policy LU-3.7 encourages new development projects to build on vacant infill sites within a built -out area, and/or redevelop previously developed properties that are underutilized. The proposed industrial development is consistent with the intent of the General Plan and proposed Empire Lakes Specific Plan Amendment; and b. The land use and development regulations within the Specific Plan are comparable in breadth and depth to similar zoning regulations contained in this Title. The current zoning regulations for the adjacent property to the west, which is located within the Industrial Park (IP) E10-12 P176 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-49 SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT DRC2016-00931 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 3 District, allows for a maximum FAR of 0.60. Therefore, the proposed Floor Area Ratio of 0.50 forthe project is compatible with the land use regulations of the adjacent zoning district; and c. The administration and permit processes within the Specific Plan are consistent with the administration and permit processes of the Development Code. The amendment to the Empire Lakes Specific Plan will not change the process in which development is processed and will therefore be consistent with the administration and permit processed prescribed within the Development Code. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessmentfor the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidencethatthe 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 ("CEQX) 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 Manager 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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby recommends approval of Empire Lakes Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931 as shown in Attachment A.

A. Recitals. 1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application on behalf of IDS Real Estate Group for the approval of Design Review DRC2016-00670, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 24th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced meeting on May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Utica Avenue; and b. The project site is comprised of five (5) vacant parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The site is approximately 585 feet (east to west) by approximately 869 feet (north to south); and C. This site once contained an office building and parking lot that was part of a large industrial complex occupied by General Dynamics. The building has since been removed and the parking lot and on -site landscape have not been maintained. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for the project site and the surrounding properties are as follows: E10-12 P180 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-50 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 2 Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant/Abandoned Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Parking Lot Lakes Specific Plan) North Multi -tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 4 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) Vintage Apartments and Ontario Center Urban Residential District South Camden Landmark (City of Ontario) (Ontario Center Specific Apartments Plan=LgIly of Ontario East Multi -tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) West Undeveloped Vineyard Industrial Park Industrial Park (IP) District d. The applicant proposes to construct an industrial logistics building with a floor area of 232,058 square feet. The building will consist of two (2) office areas (26,700 square feet) and a warehouse area (205,358 square feet); and e. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt -up construction and will contain a combination of blue reflective vision and spandrel glazing, clear anodized mullions and metal canopies. The south elevation, which will be visible along 4th Street, contains a significant amount of glazing. Downspouts will not be visible from the exterior on any elevation of the building as they will be routed through the interior of the building. The building will have a height of 40 feet and 3 inches. The exterior of the building will be painted a combination of various shades of white and gray; and f. The parking requirement for the project, based on the proposed mix of office and warehouse floor areas for the proposed industrial building, is 179 parking stalls; the project will have 255 parking stalls. The trailer parking requirement, based on a ratio of one stall per dock door, is 33 trailer parking stalls; the project will have 34 trailer parking stalls; and g. This application is in conjunction with a proposal to amend the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 5 (Specific Plan Amendment DRC2016-00931), to increase the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to 50 percent. Currently, per Section 5.4 (Development Standards) of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Table 5-6 (Development Standards Summary), the maximum FAR in Planning Area 5 is 35 percent. However, the total building floor area for the project will be 232,058 square feet, which will create an FAR of 44.9 percent; and h. A tree removal permit (Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00671) is also proposed in conjunction with this application for the removal of one hundred twenty eight (128) trees, four (4) of which are determined to be heritage trees. The project includes the installation of one hundred ninety six (196) trees throughout the project site; and I. On January 9, 2017, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 11525 Mission Vista. All property owners within 660 feet of the subject property were notified. Attendees included the applicant, architect, contractor and project planner. No comments were received from the public at this meeting; and E10-12 P181 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-50 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 3 j. The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on January 17, 2017. The main issue raised by staff involved the building's lack of a second primary building material. Per Section 17.122.030 (D)(1)(b) of the Development Code, a minimum of two primary building materials shall be used. The Committee agreed with Staffs position regarding the materials and policy issues, which are discussed in Exhibit L and recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for their review; and k. A Technical Review Committee meeting was scheduled on January 17, 2017. No issues were raised. The Committee recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission; and I. Per AB52 and SB18, on January 12, 2017, notifications were sent to Native American communities to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as a result of the project. Comments received by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, which included minor additional text to the draft mitigations, were incorporated into the mitigation measures. No other comments were received by any of the other tribes listed above. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan. The proposal is to construct one (1) industrial office/wholesale, storage and distribution warehouse building of 232,058 square feet. The underlying General Plan designation is Mixed Use, which encourages creative and imaginative employment -generating designs. Although the project does not yet involve a specific tenant, the project does involve the construction of a well -designed employment generating industrial development; and b. The proposed project is in accord with the objectives of the Specific Plan and the purposes of the Planning Area in which the site is located. The proposed project involves the construction of an industrial building that will be used for office/wholesale, storage and distribution warehouse purposes. The Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 5, states office and wholesale, storage and distribution warehouse uses are permitted by right; and c. The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Specific Plan, with the exception of the requirement for FloorArea Ratio, for which the applicant has submitted a Specific Plan Amendment. Otherwise the project is in compliance with the required development standards and design guidelines including, but not limited to, setbacks, parking, building height, screening and architecture; and d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity as all activities will take place within an enclosed building and/or screened area and will comply with all related local, State and Federal requirements. 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 assessmentfor the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project E10-12 P182 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-50 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00670 -CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 4 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 ("CEQK) 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 Manager 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. 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 attached Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. 6.

Recitals 1. Charles Joseph Associates filed an application on behalf of IDS Real Estate Group for the approval of Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00671, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tree Removal Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 24th day of May 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced meeting on May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the northeast corner of4th Street and Utica Avenue; and b. The project site is comprised of five (5) vacant parcels with a combined area of 515,690 square feet (11.84 acres). The site is approximately 585 feet (east to west) by approximately 869 feet (north to south); and C. This site once contained an office building and parking lot that was part of a large industrial complex occupied by General Dynamics. The building has since been removed and the parking lot and on -site landscape have not been maintained. The existing land uses on, and General Plan land use and zoning designations for the project site and the surrounding properties are as follows: E10-12 P198 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-51 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2016-00671 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 2 Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant/Abandoned Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Parking Lot Lakes Specific Plan) North Multi -tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 4 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) Vintage Apartments and Ontario Center Urban Residential District South Camden Landmark (City of Ontario) (Ontario Center Specific Apartments Plan — City of Ontario East Multi -tenant Office Mixed Use Planning Area 5 (Empire Developments Lakes Specific Plan) West Undeveloped Vineyard Industrial Park Industrial Park (IP) District The trees are not designated as historically significant; and e. The trees are not noted in a Specific Plan, Community Plan or conditions of approval. The four (4) heritage trees slated for removal are not protected by the Empire Lakes Specific Plan or condition of approval; and f. The applicant has submitted an arborist report assessing the health of the individual trees. The report observes that the site contains a total of one hundred twenty eight (128) existing mature trees, four (4) of which are deemed to be heritage. Many of the trees were determined to be in stressed condition due to lack of irrigation water and maintenance. Additionally, the site contains trees that have been vandalized and cut down; and g. It is necessary to remove the trees in order to construct improvements which allow economic enjoyment of the property. The four (4) heritage trees on the project site are in conflict with the proposed industrial development on the project site; and h. There are one hundred twenty eight (128) existing mature trees onsite, four (4) of which are deemed to be heritage; the removal will not affect the established character of the area and the property values as the proposed industrial development includes the installation of one hundred ninety six (196) trees; and i. It is necessary to remove the trees to construct required improvements within the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way. The removal of the subject trees are necessary to construct public improvements and private infrastructure on the project site; and j. The trees cannot be preserved by pruning and proper maintenance or relocation as the location of the existing trees onsite is in direct conflict with the proposed development; and k. The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource of the city. The trees slated for removal do not constitute a significant natural resource as the trees in the surrounding area are not dependent for their survival or are they significant because of their size, species, location or aesthetic qualities. E10-12 P199 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-51 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2016-00671 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR IDS REAL ESTATE GROUP May 24, 2017 Page 3 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. 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 trees. However, the proposed project will involve the replacement of the trees that are proposed to be removed at an approximate ratio of 1:1.5. Therefore, the project will contain a substantially larger amount of trees upon completion; and b. 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. The trees slated for removal do not constitute a significant natural resource as the trees in the surrounding area are not dependent for their survival or are they significant because of their size, species, location or aesthetic qualities. 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 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.

Printed: 5l16/2017 www.CilyofRC.us Page13 of 13 E10-12 P214 REPORT DATE: May 24, 2017 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Candyce Burnett, City Plann(�D INITIATED BY: Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2017-00177 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA — A request to amend Titles 2, 3 and 17 of the Municipal Code to enact requirements and standards for art in public places. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA section 15601(b)(3). This item will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the following recommendation to the City Council: Approval of Municipal Code Amendment DRC2017-00177 BACKGROUND: On March 22, 2017, a public hearing was scheduled to present to the Planning Commission a Development Code Amendment that outlined requirements and standards for public art for new development. Prior to the public hearing, staff received several letters from the development community regarding the proposed ordinance. Staff asked that the item be rescheduled to allow time to meet with the interested parties to discuss any concerns or issues they may have. Since March 22, staff has met with representatives of the Building Industry Association and their member builders, the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce, National Association for Industrial and Office Parks (NAIOP) and The Lewis Group to listen to their concerns and share the City's vision for creative placemaking. As a result of the conversations and input provided by these stakeholder groups, a new ordinance has been drafted that provides additional clarity on the requirements and exceptions for public art and addresses many of their concerns. ANALYSIS: Purpose Rancho Cucamonga has a very comprehensive review process with the goal of obtaining the highest quality design. Community design is integral to balancing aesthetic qualities and functionality for all land uses. Such balance is necessary to maintain and enhance a community that is highly enjoyable for living, working and recreation. In Rancho Cucamonga, a strong emphasis on community design has allowed the City to achieve a particular identity that is E13—Pg1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00177 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA May 24, 2017 Page 2 recognized throughout the region and reflected the highest assessed values in San Bernardino County (Source: San Bernardino County Assessor Annual Report 2014-2015). While building design has always been important to the look and feel of the community, the development of Victoria Gardens in the early 2000's demonstrated how high quality building design, coupled with inviting public spaces creates a more vibrant social and cultural atmosphere. Victoria Gardens created a sense of place; a unique mix of assets that created a place not just to shop and eat, but to engage and connect with others in a safe, inviting environment. This is frequently referred to as creative placemaking. Creative placemaking is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that leverages the arts, design and other creative disciplines to build vibrant, distinctive and sustainable communities and economies. Creative placemaking is intentional — it involves intentional actions to engage artists, designers and other creative people to make place -based improvements to enhance the social and civic fabric of the community. The goal of the proposed amendment is to foster the development of creative placemaking within public spaces to encourage better community. Art is a tool to draw people to these public spaces for dialogue, education and enjoyment, community problem solving, enhancement of the physical environment and celebration of public space. Qualifying Proiects The proposed ordinance applies to new residential, commercial, office and industrial projects that meet specific criteria. All new residential projects that propose more than four (4) dwelling units with a project density of four dwelling units per acre or greater will be subject to these requirements. Projects with income restricted affordable housing units have been exempted to encourage the development of affordable housing. Remodeling of residential structures are also exempt from the proposed amendment. New commercial, office, or industrial development projects will be subject to the proposed amendment if the building valuation exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000). Exterior remodels to existing commercial, office, or industrial development are subject to the ordinance if the building valuation exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000). Interior remodels (tenant improvements) are exempt from the proposed amendment. One of the concerns we heard from the stakeholders was how the proposed amendment would apply to projects currently under review. The Development Code sets clear standards under Article I, Section 17.02.020 A that projects deemed complete by the effective date of any new amendment are exempt from any new standards or requirements set forth by the new amendment (Exhibit A). Determining Value of Required Art The proposed ordinance sets a minimum threshold for the value of the art to be included in the project. Many ordinances staff researched placed a percentage calculation, typically one percent, of the building valuation of the project. Staff created a fee model calculation based on one percent of building valuation for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial projects currently under E13—Pg2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00177 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA May 24, 2017 Page 3 review and determined that the dollar amount for many projects at 1 % was higher than desired. Staff looked to other methods to calculate the value of art required and determined the following: Residential Developments: $750 per unit Commercial, Office, or Industrial Developments: $1 per square foot Mixed use projects that include multiple types of development (i.e. residential and commercial) will have each component calculated individually to determine the total required art value for the project. Exhibit B provides examples of existing projects under review or recently entitled with the proposed required art value. Preferred or Required Art The proposed amendment does not favor any type of art or specific artists. The proposed ordinance is intentionally designed to allow the project developer and artist to design a work that meets their mutual satisfaction. It is the City's goal to see art in a variety of forms and has included in the proposed amendment are only minimal design standards; that the piece be complimentary to the development, that the piece be durable and lasting, and that there is a plaque identifying the artist, name of the piece and date of installation. The proposed amendment allows the integration of art into already required features and amenities. Examples include bike racks, shade structures, bus shelters or trash receptacles. The goal is to use art to create a sense of place and generate interest and activity in the spaces where they are located. Completion of Art Installation The proposed amendment requires that art be installed prior to final inspection or occupancy. We received concern from stakeholders that if the project was a larger, phased project, how would the amendment allow for a partial use of the project site if the art was not going to be installed until a later phase of the project. To address this, additional clarification has been added that allows staff to consider phasing plans for art installations as a condition or project approval or accept bonds or other surety to secure completion of the art work as part of the project. Options In Lieu of Installing Art While it is the City's desire to see art as an anchor for creative placemaking in new developments, should applicants choose not to include required art, they have two options: one, donate art work that meets or exceeds the required minimum art value or pay an in -lieu fee equal to the required minimum art value for the project. Public Art Committee The proposed amendment establishes a public art committee to advise the Council regarding the selection, purchase, placement and maintenance of art installed by the City or on City property and expenditures of any in -lieu fees or endowments collected. The Public Art Committee will not review art installations on private property. Art installed as a component of a project will be E13—Pg3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00177 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA May 24, 2017 Page 4 reviewed through the standard development review process without additional review by the committee. Public Fundraisina for Art The proposed amendment does not exempt new public facilities from the development of art and the City strongly believes that it is important to "set the example" and initiate creative placemaking with the development of art at new public facilities. We are also pursuing a public fundraising effort to raise funds to support creative placemaking efforts at new and existing public facilities. Environmental Assessment The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed Code Amendment does not propose any physical change to the environment itself but instead revises existing land use regulations to require certain development projects that require discretionary review to include publicly accessible art and creates a process for administering a public art program. Pursuant to CEQA, the City will review the potential significant impacts of all development applications that are subject to the public art requirement and any discretionary action by the City to install public art pursuant to this Code Amendment. Therefore, this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. ;l& _1X1 /17_[W1F The development of a public art program is expected to increase City expenses in staff time and resources to include review of public art on private and City developments. Fees collected by developments choosing the in -lieu option will be used to fund art installations within publicly owned property. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: This meets General Plan Land Use Goal LU-14: Support public art as an important amenity of a beautiful City. It also meets City Council Goal Al to develop a public art ordinance and funding mechanism to support art within publicly accessible spaces. CORRESPONDENCE: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65090, this item was advertised 13 days in advance as a public hearing (1/8 page ad) in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper.

Public art in transit -oriented developments presents a valuable marketing opportunity, both for public agencies and private developers. Dollar for dollar, investments in public art may provide the highest financial returns of any funds committed to an aspect of a transit project. A pair of painted murals, designed by environmental artist April Greiman. A A A The intangible benefits of public art —aesthetic beauty, cultural interpretation, education, inspiration, and general improvement of the urban environment —are well-known. But because these are considered "soft" benefits, they are sometimes dismissed as a low priority, especially during challenging economic times. However, experiences in Los Angeles show that public art can be a source of publicity and cash income, as well as beauty. Wilshire Vermont Station, a mixed -use, urban infill development in a downtown neighborhood known as Koreatown, has 449 apartments above 30,000 square feet (2,800 sq m) of ground -floor retail space. Twenty percent of the apartments are reserved for low-income renters. Located in the heart of a dense and diverse mixed -income neighborhood, the development occupies land owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of Los Angeles County. A busy two -level subway station operates underthe site. Because the project is largely residential, it was not subject to the city of Los Angeles's requirement that 1 percent of project cost for commercial development be committed to public art. Nonetheless, Urban Partners LLC, a Los Angeles —based developer of transit -oriented and urban infill real estate, chose to install a pair of 70-foot-high (21 m) painted murals, designed by environmental artist April Greiman, who was introduced to the firm by the developer's art consultant, Merry Norris. The murals were installed at the prominent intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, adjacent to the subway portal. The art program cost $75,000 to design and install, out of a total project cost of more than $125 million. EXHIBIT C E13—Pg10 From this relatively modest investment in public art the project received more publicity, more public recognition, and more leasing interest than from any other element of the entire budget. The murals became a marketing bonanza. When they were completed, the murals were featured in several half -page, full -color photographs in the Los Angeles Times. Coverage was provided on the front page of the papers local news and culture sections rather than in the real estate or business sections. This allowed the publicity to reach a more exclusive, cultured audience, elevating the project's reputation as a work of art not mere commerce. This front-page coverage constituted essentially free advertising, and it created a marketing aura that the developer could not have purchased at any price. Subsequently, images of the murals have been printed in dozens of publications, including newspapers and national and local business magazines. The images are routinely used by the local transit agency as emblems of the entire transit system, and the site is frequently host to press events and photo shoots. For example, the mayor of Los Angeles often uses the murals as a backdrop during televised announcements. The private marketing benefits, in real -dollar terms, of this modest public art investment are almost inestimably high. The continuing visibility, publicity, and brand identification that public art provided for the project were purchased for less than one -tenth of 1 percent of the project's total cost. Using neon- and argon -filled tubes, artist Keith Sonnier created an art installation at the District 7 headquarters of the California Department of Transportation in downtown Los Angeles that abstractly resembles the tail lights of cars. The District 7 headquarters of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), at a nearby site in downtown Los Angeles, moved forward under a very tight budget. Nonetheless, it included a state -mandated commitment of 1 percent of the project budget for public art. Urban Partners LLC, also the project developer, introduced Thom Mayne of Morphosis, the building's architect, to nationally known artist Keith Sonnier, with instructions to integrate the art program into the building design itself. Doug Christmas of Ace Gallery in Los Angeles assisted with artist selection. With a $2 million budget, and using neon- and argon -filled tubes that abstractly resemble the tail lights of cars, the art installation provides a colorful and changeable display in the building's otherwise limited color palette. Cooperation between architect and artist was seamless, resulting in a successful fusion of public art and architecture. Caltrans officials, however, originally were skeptical of this use of funds. To their surprise, the neon installation became a sensation. The illuminated entry element now vividly identifies the building in the government center of Los Angeles. The building is now used frequently as a backdrop for feature films, television shows, and commercials, and has been displayed prominently in print publications around the world. Caltrans receives a substantial, ongoing income stream by licensing the entry plaza as a backdrop for still photography and TV/film. E13—Pgl1 Raising an institutional structure to the level of global artistry —and creating an unexpected revenue stream for local government — demonstrates clearly the economic benefits of public art. In this case, the benefits are public as well as private, providing income to Caltrans. Investments in public art are not just for cultural or aesthetic purposes; they also can have a positive bottom -line economic impact, with material financial benefits to their owners. Good art is good business. SHUlY COMMENTS Loading next post.. Copyright ® 2010.2017 Urban Land Institute (ULI). All rights reserved. Use of this webshe constitutes acceptance of our Terms of Use.

Creative placemaking takes that concept further, with the placemaking effort led by arts and cultural considerations that help shape not only the physical character of a place, but also its social character. As Anne Markusen and Ann Gadwa Nicodemus wrote in "Creative Placemaking," a 2010 paper for the National Endowment for the Arts, "Creative placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired" Creative placemaking, done well, can deliver high value to its stakeholders, including the community, developers, and public and private partners. The distinguishing features of creative placemaking and the attributes present in a well -executed project are evident in three very different real estate developments: a transit -oriented, mixed -use development project in the once -quiet community of Brookland in Washington, D.C.; the redevelopment of a blighted building in the changing Tenderloin community in San Francisco; and a neighborhood revitalization effort in Mill Hill in Macon, Georgia. Monroe Street Market, Washington, D.C. EXHIBIT D E13—Pg13 One and two -bedroom apartments are available in the Portland Flats building, a component or Monroe Street Market in Washington, D C. (O The aonuto Group) Monroe Street Market transformed Catholic University of America's South Campus and the surrounding Brookiand neighborhood in the northeast quadrant of Washington- Monroe Street Market comprises a sprawling five -block complex, just three miles (5 km) from the U.S. Capitol and adjacent to a Metrorail station and bus lines.

An important component of the development is the inclusion of 27 affordable artists' studios totaling 15,000 square feet (1,400 sq m) on the ground floor of two of its three residential buildings. The Art Walk between the buildings features a 1,000- square-foot (93 sq m) public square with a fountain and a 70-foot-tall (21 m) clock tower at one end, and a 3,000-square-foot (280 sq m) community arts center at the other, both serving as focal points for the complex where special events are held and residents can gather. Abdo Development, based in Washington, D.C., and the Bozzuto Group, based in Greenbelt, Maryland, assembled a diverse team of partners to implement their plans. The project has been under construction since 2011, artist occupancy began in 2013, and the last phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in 2017. Catholic University owns the site, which provides an entrance point to its South Campus; CulturalDC, a nonprofit organization that provides creative placemaking services primarily to real estate developers and property owners, helped design and activate the artists' studios; and Dance Place, a nonprofit dance company that has been anchored in the community for decades, provides ongoing dance programs in the development's Edgewood Community Arts Center and the Art Walk and plaza. Programming includes Third Thursday open artists' studios, Saturday farmers markets, free weekend dance performances, and free public fitness classes at the Edgewood center on Saturdays. The Monroe Street Market design team improved waikability, traffic patterns, and pedestrian crossings along Michigan Avenue and Monroe Street, making the area more pedestrian friendly. Residential amenities include a health club, swimming pool, and yoga center, plus easy access to the nearby Metropolitan Branch bike trail. E13—Pg14 A view or Monroe Street Market from the Metro station. (m The Bozzuto Group) The development has expanded the availability of local retail options, enabling more money to stay in the community. The art features attract visitors and tourists, who also contribute to the local economy. As a central gathering place, Monroe Street Market has helped unify the Brookland community. This year, ULI Washington recognized the project with an Award for Excellence in Mixed -Use Development. The Hall, San Francisco The Hall is the temporary activation of a warehouse building that had been blighted and vacant for seven years before Developers/Partners Tidewater Capital, a San Francisco —based investment and development firm, and War Horse, a Baltimore - based development firm, purchased the property in 2013. The building is located in the Tenderloin, a San Francisco neighborhood that has long faced many social challenges such as drugs, unemployment, crime, and poverty. The Hall, an experiment being conducted in 4,000 square feet (372 sq m) of temporary retail space, is focused on community engagement and urban revitalization while the development team seeks entitlements to redevelop the site to provide 186 units of rental housing above 10,000 square feet (929 sq m) of retail space. The future development is planned to include a mix of market - rate and affordable housing and is expected to break ground next year. The interim use consists of six food stalls placed in a food -hall setting and run by local entrepreneurs —all former food -truck vendors. There also is a bar, plus events programming aimed at promoting positive change in the community. The Hall is more than a culinary arts initiative. The space serves as a gathering place —a clubhouse of sorts. It was built with the intention of fostering connection among members of the community by creating a space to convene, break bread, and share experiences. Since opening in October 2014, the Hall has served more than 4,000 meals a week, been the site of more than 90 community events, and donated more than $35,000 to local nonprofit groups. Last year, it began serving monthly community breakfasts, open to all, during which the development team provides updates on the broader project, seeking input from stakeholders while also discussing such community topics as public safety, small business development, housing affordability, and arts in the community. Further, in an effort to address neighborhood unemployment, the Hall organized and sponsored two job fairs to help match employers with neighborhood job seekers. The Hall is a finalist for ULI's 2016 Global Awards for Excellence. An aerial view or Monroe Street Market. (® The Bozzuto Group) Mill Hill East Macon Arts Village, Macon, Georgia Mill Hill is located in the Fort Hawkins neighborhood, known as the birthplace of Macon. Once a village for people working at a local cotton mill, the neighborhood is composed of properties that are now 46 percent vacant and blighted, according to a study by the Macon -Bibb County Urban Development Authority (UDA). Although the area is now disconnected from the economic drivers around it —residents are not employed at the local hospital or nearby tourist attractions —the strategic plan for Macon's urban core lays out hope that the new community arts center and artist housing being developed there will help transform the area into an economically and culturally thriving community. Ell 3—Pg15 The new Gateway Park, being developed by the Macon Arts Alliance, Macon -Bibb County UDA, and other partners, will connect the community to nearby tourism assets, such as the Macon Centreplex, the Marriott Macon City Center, and the Ocmulgee National Monument, which honors 17,000 years of documented human habitation in the area. The Ocmulgee mounds were built 1,000 years ago by Native Americans during the Mississippian Period and are on the former landof the Muscogee Nation. Vacant mill houses will be transformed into affordable artist live/work housing —seven units in the first phase, each providing 900 square feet (84 sq m) of space for one occupant —helping reduce blight and becoming a hub for economic activity. The Bibb Mill Auditorium, built in 1920 and now being renovated, will be reborn as the Mill Hill Community Arts Center. The future arts center received a new roof this year, paid for with an anonymous $211,000 gift. With the building stabilized, restoration continues through an $813,000 investment by the Macon -Bibb County government. During planning, the project was supported by the White House's Strong Cities, Strong Communities Initiative and an Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The steering committee includes prominent organizations, such as the Regency Hospital Company, the Macon Coliseum Hospital System, the Macon Arts Alliance, and the Knight Foundation, as well as the mayor of Macon -Bibb County. The project team worked with the community to identify its unique assets. It discovered that many residents like to cook, so a culinary school is part of the redevelopment plan. The goal is to attract new residents and businesses to the area, helping the local economy grow while affordable homes are retained for those who have long resided there and helped create this distinctive place. Four Essential Tasks In research for their paper on creative placemaking, Markusen and Nicodemus, spent six months surveying successful projects, identifying ingredients of success as well as common challenges. Their case studies cover many types of communities, from older industrial inner cities to younger, lower -density cities, and from rural towns to Native American reservations. This work and their later reflections highlight four essential tasks for those seeking to carry out successful creative placemaking projects. • Build cross -sector partnerships. The Monroe Street Market's public, private, and community partners —including Abdo Development, the Bozzuto Group, Catholic University, CulturalDC, Dance Place, artists, and others —were vital contributors to the drive to unify the community and promote its economy through the arts. Similarly, the Mill Hill East Macon Arts Village has a team of many players at the local and national levels who have helped the project build momentum. • Mine community assets and honor the uniqueness of place. The Hall creates a physical sense of place in what was once a vacant building, serving as a gathering space in the geographic middle of different communities, providing a place for fostering and strengthening relationships within a challenged neighborhood. The Mill Hill East Macon Arts Village promises to be a shining reminder of the birthplace of its city, Macon, while bolstering its residents and the local economy. Both teams worked with assets already present in the community. • Explore creative financing. Money can come from unforeseen places, such as the $211,000 gift to replace the roof on the Bibb Mill Auditorium. Stakeholders can use leverage or find partners to help share the cost of the project, as was done when Macon -Bibb County contributed $813,000 to complete construction of the auditorium and NEA's Our Town grant provided seed funding. • Seek equity and inclusiveness in project implementation. Some thought leaders acknowledge that creative placemaking, though intended to be an equalizer among people, has at times had the reverse effect, leading to the displacement of residents as investments boost the local economy and make areas unaffordable for some people. Mill Hill, for example, is starting with a goal of achieving equity and inclusiveness, a strategy likely to cultivate community pride and uplift not only in the local community, but also in Macon at large. The Hall employs innovative community engagement through its weekly breakfasts and sponsored job fairs, which directly address neighborhood unemployment, as well as, indirectly, related issues, including crime and drug use. Benefits of Placemaking Through creative placemaking, communities have the opportunity to become healthier places to live and work. Research has shown a strong connection between art and cultural assets in a community and social outcomes, including improvements in health, social connections, safety, housing burden, and economic well-being. Local governments also receive benefits such as increased tax revenues, job growth, and reduced public safety risks. In addition, there are benefits for real estate development professionals —developers, architects, planners, and others —who take measured risks and create groundbreaking projects, as J.C. Nichols did in Kansas City, Missouri, with his Country Club Plaza (est. 1922) and Abdo and Bozzuto did in the nation's capital nearly 90 years later with their Monroe Street Market. A recent focus group with developers, architects, planners, artists, and nonprofit arts organizations, convened by ULI Washington, highlighted potential benefits of creative placemaking for real estate developers. They include: Lower development costs. "Time is money," said one focus group participant. Community engagement and buy -in, often critical to project success, can be costly to obtain. Gaining early community buy -in and support hastens zoning approvals and E13—Pg16 progress on other aspects of the development cycle. The focus group recommended early engagement of artists and other members of the creative class for help in creating a sense of place showcasing existing community assets. Higher project value. Uniqueness of place helps establish premium value for a project. For example, "expect to gain 5 percent additional rent when you put a grocery store on the ground floor of a new residential building' one focus group participant said. Similarly, Monroe Street Market's unique Art Walk, artists' studios, and other factors, including innovative mixed -use project design, elevated the value of the residential units in the complex, helping investors realize a higher return. Enhanced branding and market recognition. Just as Nichols received national and international recognition for Country Club Plaza —greatly enhancing his brand beyond Kansas City and Missouri —innovative art, culture, and design features can open doors and create opportunities that far exceed the outcomes of budgeted marketing activities. High potential value can be realized from placemaking led by innovative art, culture, and design, and implemented effectively and employing lessons learned and best practices. The community, government, developers, and other public and private partners all stand to benefit. While creative placemaking can be applied to projects large and small and across multiple land uses and real estate disciplines —housing, mixed use, transportation, and infrastructure —possibly the greatest opportunities can be found in communities in need of revitalization. A focus of ULI over the next two years, funded by a $250,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation, is to raise awareness of creative placemaking as an important component of building healthy places and to provide tools to assist in implementation of creative placemaking in real estate development projects. ULI's vision is that over time, increased use of creative placemaking will improve living conditions for tow -income and other vulnerable populations living along commercial corridors and in neglected communities. The Institute's work is intended to be scalable and should be useful regardless of project size or income level in target communities.

Rose is founder and president of the Jonathan Rose Companies, a multidisciplinary real estate development, planning, and investment firm. In his new book, Rose uses a metaphor from classical music to explain how cities can achieve harmony among competing needs and interests. The title refers to The Well -Tempered Clavier, two series of preludes and fugues completed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1722 and 174Z which Rose says were composed to prove that a new system of tuning notes, called tempering, should replace a system that had been used for 2,000 years. Through tempering, Rose writes, keys were tuned in a way that sounded pleasant when more than one key was played together. This tuning system allowed Bach's music to flow across keys in ways that no one had explored before, Rose writes. "It is a model of the task we have today in designing and reshaping our cities." Having completed $1.8 billion of work, the Rose Companies is a firm focused on working with cities and nonprofit entities to build affordable and mixed -income housing, as well as cultural, health, and educational infrastructure. In 2005, the firm launched the nation's first green transit -oriented acquisition and redevelopment fund, and in 2073 the fiirm's Via Verde housing development in New York City won a ULI Global Award for Excellence. Entwinement The Fitness of the City (®Rick xnief/Cal Web) Text Size: A A A Kenneth Burke, one of the most important American literary theorists of the 20th century, wrote that "people may be unfitted by being fit in an unfit fitness." The current state of many of our cities is an unfit fitness. They may be sufficiently adapted for short-term growth, but they lack the adaptive capacity to thrive in the high -stress environment of the future. They are fitted to unfitness. And that is because they do not understand their true purpose. E13—Pg17 A view or Monroe Street Market from the Metro station.

(� Bnnshore Development) Creative placemaking, an innovation that involves bringing art and culture in tandem with design to the beginning of a real estate development project, is gaining momentum around the globe, from small rural communities to large urban areas. South Carolinas 2017 Rural Summit, for example, sponsored by the state's department of commerce and held in March, included a presentation and panel on creative placemaking for summit participants, who included council members, city administrators, planners, and others hungry for knowledge about how creative placemaking strategies can be used to revitalize their communities. Of the 11 ULI 2016 Global Awards for Excellence recipients, four projects were selected largely because of creative placemaking features that contributed to their success. They were Wynwood Walls in Miami; the Strand American Conservatory Theater (ACT) in San Francisco; Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio; and Daniels Spectrum in Toronto. Daniels Spectrum, for example, a community cultural hub and part of one of the largest urban revitalization initiatives in Toronto, is a multifaceted community event, studio, and performance space with accompanying office space that offers a place for local artists, musicians, and businesses to congregate and formulate new ideas. it has hosted over 800 events and attracted more than 150,000 visitors, contributing to the economic vibrancy of the Regent Park community.

(Both award -winning projects are profiled in this issue, beginning on page 174.) Grassroots community initiatives like Project Row Houses in Houston transformed 22 crime -plagued "shotgun" houses in the city's oldest African American neighborhood into a thriving complex that has grown to 40 properties and provides space for housing, exhibitions, and other creative enterprises. Similarly, Dorchester Art+ Housing Collaborative on Chicago's south side transformed a blighted townhome development into 32 mixed -income artist housing units (12 public housing,11 affordable, and nine market -rate) and offers a community center for residents. It is a part of the cultural renaissance of the Greater Grand Crossing community spearheaded by artist Theaster Gates and the Rebuild Foundation, in partnership with Brinshore Development. The Dorchester An ♦ Housing Collaborative in Chicago includes a community center rorresidents. (A annshore Development) These projects have a common theme of leading with art and culture and realizing outcomes that uplift and enliven, attract and connect people, promote health, and catalyze economic development. Implementing creative placemaking successfully, with measurable positive outcomes, can be realized by using best practices, gleaned from lessons learned on many projects over a long time. During the discovery phase of a two-year creative placemaking project funded by the Kresge Foundation, as part of ULI's Building Healthy Places Initiative, our research has identified ten best practices for project success. Begin with the end in mind. Envision what you would like to see —such as artfully designed buildings, an inclusive community, gathering places that promote health —but also what you do not want to see, such as displacement of existing residents, lack of diversity, or exclusionary housing. Be clear about motivation and goals, then engage the right players to think outside of the box to achieve those goals. Set no limits on the possibilities for combining art and culture with the built environment. For example, New York City's Sugar Hill Children's Museum in Harlem broke with convention by being the first art museum in an affordable housing complex. Bring in artists and the community early. Timing is everything. Art and culture need to be central to the project's design. Early engagement of these essential resources will facilitate a project that is well designed and inclusive and that meets the needs of the larger community. In 2015, ArtPlace America awarded six organizations in cities spanning the United States $3 million each to demonstrate the impact of early engagement of arts and culture in community development. Each organization will receive the $3 million over a three-year period. ArtPlace engaged PolicyLink to work with them to identify and share insights and best practices with the goal to make the grant recipients' social, physical, and economic placemaking strategies more inclusive. "Mine" local art and cultural assets. Understand what jewels exist in the community. Creative placemaking works best when it is used to amplify local community assets, fostering a sense of pride. Learn about the community's history and aspirations. Practice radical listening —meaning, keep a laser focus on one of author Stephen Covey's "seven habits:" seek first to understand. For instance, the Mill Hill arts village in Macon, Georgia, learned after its cultural -asset mapping that many residents like to cook. So, its new art center in the renovated auditorium will have a culinary art school. E13—Pg19 Engage local artists. Find and recruit artists in the local community, including visual artists, performing artists, poets, writers, musicians, designers, chefs, and other creative types. Engaging local artists will help build buy -in. It is hoped there will be no need to find talent elsewhere. The Macon Arts Alliance learned this hard lesson after bringing artists from outside the state to Mill Hill for an art initiative. It created an atmosphere of distrust, leading the alliance to rescind its action and rebuild the relationship. Consult local arts organizations and local and state government art councils to find local artists. For example, in the Washington, D.C., metro area, the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) is a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting the careers of artists and boasts a membership of thousands of local artists. Local art councils include the District of Columbia Commission on Arts and Humanities, the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County (Maryland), and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Understand and articulate stakeholder benefits. Explore how art and culture can contribute to both the social and economic vitality of a project. Be prepared to discuss benefits from various points of view. Focus on community -driven outcomes and what is meaningful to locals, but also focus on the hard facts needed to sell the project to private -sector investors and others. For example, the community may be interested in the project's impact on reducing crime or providing more activities for youth and seniors, while developers may need to quantify the project's impact on accelerating lease -ups or reducing project costs. Form cross -sector partnerships, including artists, community members, and public- and private -sector organizations. Having local community organizations engaged is key along with the involvement of local government, philanthropy, and other nonprofit partners. The Mill Hill Arts project had a variety of local, state, and federal partners, including the Macon Arts Alliance, the Urban Development Authority, Macon —Bibb County, local hospitals, the White House Strong Cities Strong Communities initiative, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Knight Foundation, and others. Identify the critical skills needed to deliver on project goals and outcomes. In addition to the skills provided by designers, architects, and artists, what other skills are needed? Collaboration is critical to the success of a project. Identify which skills are needed, match needs to the people within the group who have the necessary skills, and identify gaps that need to be met by recruiting new team members with new skills. Also make teams intergenerational by including youth and senior members. Your project team should reflect the inclusive nature of the project vision and goals. Look for early wins to generate excitement, visibility, and buy -in. For example, use pop -ups to draw people in and community gatherings to gain engagement. A good example is the Hall in the Tenderloin community of San Francisco. This pop-up culinary art project provides stalls for six food vendors, a bar, and free meeting space for local nonprofit groups, while the developer awaits entitlement to build a mixed -use retail and residential project with affordable housing on that site. Maintain a long view. Don't stop when the goals of the built environment are met. Consider programming that keeps the community engaged and the place alive and exciting. Monroe Street Market in Northeast Washington, D.C., a $250 million mixed - use transit -oriented development, engaged a nonprofit arts organization, CulturalDC, to manage its arts walk and relationship with artists in its 27 affordable artist studios on the ground floor of two buildings in its complex. CulturalDC, with local nonprofit Dance Place, supports Third Thursdays open artists' studios, dance, and other programs on an ongoing basis. Pursue creative financing. Where there is a will, there is a way. Money can come from unforeseen, unexpected places. Bethlehem Steel Stacks, the site of a former steel mill in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, transformed into a sprawling art center, was funded through revenues from the local casino, which is also on the site of the old mill. Funding for the Harlem Sugar Hill affordable housing and museum complex in this New York City neighborhood was pieced together from 13 funding sources, including private lenders, philanthropy, low-income housing tax credits, HOME funds, and new markets tax credits. If your vision is the right one, for the right reasons, with appropriate stakeholder benefits, the money will come. Persevere. Creative placemaking strategies have been used successfully across many dimensions in the built environment. Housing and public spaces have been highlighted here, but creative placemaking can also be applied to transportation, health, infrastructure, and environmental systems. All stakeholders —community residents and businesses, government, developers, and other partners — stand to benefit. Creative placemaking strategies, when properly applied, can help differentiate a real estate development project, as ULI's Global Awards for Excellence program demonstrates, while simultaneously addressing social, economic, environmental, and other challenges. Many examples of successful creative placemaking initiatives exist, but there also are examples of failed ones or ones that have fallen short of meeting intended goals or outcomes. Using best practices has proved to differentiate the most successful projects, and has helped revitalize and foster healthy, sustainable communities. This is certainly a gain not only for affected communities, but also for everyone. Indeed, it is a gain for the greater global community of which we are all a part.

S1 IOW COMMENTS E13—Pg20 RESOLUTION NO.17-48 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2017-00177, TO ENACT REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC ART A. Recitals 1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has prepared Municipal Code Amendment DRC2017- 00177, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as "the application." 2. On May 24, 2017, 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 May 24, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. General Plan Land Use Goal LU-14 identifies supporting public art as an important amenity of a beautiful city; and b. The General Plan Implementation Plan identified General Plan Land Use Goal LU-14 as a priority 3 (important) implementation action; and C. City Council Goal Al directs staff to develop a public art ordinance and funding mechanism to support art within publicly accessible spaces; and d. Rancho Cucamonga has a very comprehensive review process with the goal of obtaining the highest quality design; and e. Creative placemaking is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that leverages the arts, design and other creative disciplines to build vibrant, distinctive and sustainable communities and economies; and f. The goal of the proposed amendment is to foster the development of creative placemaking within public spaces to encourage better community; and E13—Pg21 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-48 MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2017-00177- CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA May 24, 2017 Page 2 g. Art is a tool to draw people to these public spaces for dialogue, education and enjoyment, community problem solving, enhancement of the physical environment and celebration of public space. 3. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed Code Amendment does not propose any physical change to the environment itself but instead revises existing land use regulations to require certain development projects that require discretionary review to include publicly accessible art and creates a process for administering a public art program. Pursuant to CEQA, the City will review the potential significant impacts of all development applications that are subject to the public art requirement and any discretionary action by the City to install public art pursuant to this Code Amendment. Therefore, this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Municipal Code Amendment DRC2017-00177 as indicated in Attachment A incorporated herein by this reference. 5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 24TH DAY OF MAY 2017. PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 93 ATTEST: Francisco Oaxaca, Chairman Candyce Burnett, Secretary I, Candyce Burnett, Secretary of the Planning Commission for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 24th day of May 2017, by the following vote -to -wit: E13—Pg22 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-48 MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2017-00177- CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA May 24, 2017 Page 3 AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: E13—Pg23 key component of the revitalization of a desolate part of San Francisco, and is expected to attract over 100,000 visitors in its first year of operation. (Both award -winning projects are profiled in this issue, beginning on page 174.) Grassroots community initiatives like Project Row Houses in Houston transformed 22 crime -plagued "shotgun" houses in the city's oldest African American neighborhood into a thriving complex that has grown to 40 properties and provides space for housing, exhibitions, and other creative enterprises. Similarly, Dorchester Art+ Housing Collaborative on Chicago's south side transformed a blighted townhome development into 32 mixed -income artist housing units (12 public housing,11 affordable, and nine market -rate) and offers a community center for residents. It is a part of the cultural renaissance of the Greater Grand Crossing community spearheaded by artist Theaster Gates and the Rebuild Foundation, in partnership with Brinshore Development. The Dorchester An ♦ Housing Collaborative in Chicago includes a community center rorresidents. (A annshore Development) These projects have a common theme of leading with art and culture and realizing outcomes that uplift and enliven, attract and connect people, promote health, and catalyze economic development. Implementing creative placemaking successfully, with measurable positive outcomes, can be realized by using best practices, gleaned from lessons learned on many projects over a long time. During the discovery phase of a two-year creative placemaking project funded by the Kresge Foundation, as part of ULI's Building Healthy Places Initiative, our research has identified ten best practices for project success. Begin with the end in mind. Envision what you would like to see —such as artfully designed buildings, an inclusive community, gathering places that promote health —but also what you do not want to see, such as displacement of existing residents, lack of diversity, or exclusionary housing. Be clear about motivation and goals, then engage the right players to think outside of the box to achieve those goals. Set no limits on the possibilities for combining art and culture with the built environment. For example, New York City's Sugar Hill Children's Museum in Harlem broke with convention by being the first art museum in an affordable housing complex. Bring in artists and the community early. Timing is everything. Art and culture need to be central to the project's design. Early engagement of these essential resources will facilitate a project that is well designed and inclusive and that meets the needs of the larger community. In 2015, ArtPlace America awarded six organizations in cities spanning the United States $3 million each to demonstrate the impact of early engagement of arts and culture in community development. Each organization will receive the $3 million over a three-year period. ArtPlace engaged PolicyLink to work with them to identify and share insights and best practices with the goal to make the grant recipients' social, physical, and economic placemaking strategies more inclusive. "Mine" local art and cultural assets. Understand what jewels exist in the community. Creative placemaking works best when it is used to amplify local community assets, fostering a sense of pride. Learn about the community's history and aspirations. Practice radical listening —meaning, keep a laser focus on one of author Stephen Covey's "seven habits:" seek first to understand. For instance, the Mill Hill arts village in Macon, Georgia, learned after its cultural -asset mapping that many residents like to cook. So, its new art center in the renovated auditorium will have a culinary art school. E13—Pg19 Engage local artists. Find and recruit artists in the local community, including visual artists, performing artists, poets, writers, musicians, designers, chefs, and other creative types. Engaging local artists will help build buy -in. It is hoped there will be no need to find talent elsewhere. The Macon Arts Alliance learned this hard lesson after bringing artists from outside the state to Mill Hill for an art initiative. It created an atmosphere of distrust, leading the alliance to rescind its action and rebuild the relationship. Consult local arts organizations and local and state government art councils to find local artists. For example, in the Washington, D.C., metro area, the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) is a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting the careers of artists and boasts a membership of thousands of local artists. Local art councils include the District of Columbia Commission on Arts and Humanities, the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County (Maryland), and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Understand and articulate stakeholder benefits. Explore how art and culture can contribute to both the social and economic vitality of a project.
