f. The project also includes a Minor Exception (DRC2016-00657) to reduce the street side
building setbacks by up to 10 percent, a Minor Exception (DRC2016-00658) to increase the maximum
per wall height by up to 2 feet and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2015-00310) to remove 2 trees.
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 for the project site is Low Medium (LM). The General Plan states that Low Medium (LM) land
use district is characterized by detached and attached housing structures that contain either one or two
individual dwelling units. The project is for the development of 4 buildings made up of 2 units per
building, in accord with the intent of the Low Medium (LM) land use district; and
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 Development Code states that the Low Medium
(LM) District is for the development of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The Low Medium (LM) District
permits the development of multi-family projects. The project is for the development of an 8-unit, multi-
family project on 1.01 acre site, in accord with intent of the Low Medium (LM) District; and
c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The project will be in compliance with the Development Code with approval of the
Minor Exception (DRC2016-00657) to reduce the required street side building setback by 10 percent and
Minor Exception (DRC2016-00658) to increase the maximum permitted wall height by up to 2 feet; and
d. The proposed use, 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. The Initial Study Part II outlines potential environmental impacts related to the project and
identifies project specific mitigation measures that reduce these impacts to less-than-significant.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written
and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission
finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based
upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City 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. During the circulation period for the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND),
staff received correspondence from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for the
project related MND requesting the inclusion of a mitigation measure related to asbestos emissions from
the demolition of the existing on-site structures. In response, staff has modified an existing mitigation
measure to the Initial Study Part II and related CEQA documents to require the project to comply with
SCAQMD Rule 1403 (asbestos emissions from demolition/renovation) for the demolition of on-site
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-08
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2014-00732 — RC1 HOMES, LLC

structures. Section 15073.5(c)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines states that recirculation of the MND is not
required when a mitigation measure replaces with a mitigation measure that is more effective pursuant to
CEQA Section 15074.1. CEQA Section 15074.1(b)(1) and (2) states that prior to adopting a substituted
mitigation measure, 1) a public hearing for the project shall be held, and 2) a written finding shall be
adopted that the new measure is more effective in mitigating potential significant effects and that it in
itself will not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment. In accordance with this
requirement, a public hearing for the project and MND was held on February 8, 2017, and the Planning
Commission finds based on substantial evidence presented at that hearing that the new mitigation
measure is equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and it in itself
will not cause and potentially significant effect on the environment. The modified mitigation measure will
strengthen the Air Quality section of the City's MND by limiting the potential release of asbestos, and will
not cause significant effects on the environment as it will ensure that if asbestos is encountered on the
project it will be properly handled in a manner in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 1403.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.

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 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-08
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2014-00732 — RC1 HOMES, LLC
February 8, 2017
Page 7
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.
3) Replace the western sycamore with the largest available nursery grown
specimen available (typically 24" box).
4) A good faith effort shall be made to relocate the Washington palm on-site. If
determined to be unfeasible, replace with a 15-gallon size tree.
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.
• 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 a 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
Museum.
Geology and Soils
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved
by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,() 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 PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil
off-site. Timing may vary depending upon 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.

West Covina, CA 91791
Project Location(also see attached map): Southwest corner of 6th Street and Hellman Avenue,
(APN: 0210-341-74)
Project Description: A proposed development of an 8-unit, multi-family development on a 1.01
acre site which includes a Minor Exception to reduce the required street side setbacks along 6th
Street and Hellman Avenue and a Minor Exception to increase the west property line wall heights
due to a grade difference and a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of two on-site trees.
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency,has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
(909)477-2847.
NOTICE
The public is invited to comment on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
