PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-04
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19683— BRUCE KARISH
January 25, 2017
Page 3
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with
the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project
would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public
comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole
record before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with
CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning
Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project; and
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning
Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho
Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.

Biological Resources
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 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 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. 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-04
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19683— BRUCE KARISH
January 25, 2017
Page 7
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.
Cultural Resources
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.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-04
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19683— BRUCE KARISH
January 25, 2017
Page 8
• 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.
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 Archaeological Information Center for
permanent archiving.
