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 related to, for example, Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological
Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Waste Materials, Noise,
Transportation/Traffic, 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 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-14
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00466— OAKMONT INDUSTRIAL GROUP
February 22, 2017
Page 7
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
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.
• 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
Archeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects
on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, including
but not limited to, avoiding archeological sites, capping or covering
site 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) Conduct Archaeological Sensitivity Training for Construction Personnel.

archaeologist would follow in conducting a salvage investigation if one is
necessary.
3) Cease Ground-Disturbing Activities and Implement Treatment Plan if
Archaeological Resources Are Encountered. In the event that
archaeological resources are unearthed during ground-disturbing
activities, ground-disturbing activities shall be halted or diverted away
from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer
area of at least 50 feet shall be established around the find where
construction activities shall not be allowed to continue until a qualified
archaeologist has examined the newly discovered artifact(s) and has
evaluated the area of the find.Work shall be allowed to continue outside
of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by project
construction activities shall be evaluated by a qualified professional
archaeologist,who meets the U.S.Secretary of the Interior's Professional
Qualifications and Standards. Should the newly discovered artifacts be
determined to be prehistoric, Native American Tribes/Individuals should
be contacted and consulted and Native American construction monitoring
should be initiated. The Applicant and City shall coordinate with the
archaeologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan for the resources.
The plan may include implementation of archaeological data recovery
excavations to address treatment of the resource along with subsequent
laboratory processing and analysis.
4) Monitor Construction Excavations for Archeological Resources in
Younger Alluvial Sediments. The Applicant shall retain a qualified
archaeological monitor,who will work under the direction and guidance of
a qualified professional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Secretary of

archaeological monitor shall be present during all construction
excavations (e.g., grading, trenching, or clearing/grubbing) into non-fill
younger Pleistocene alluvial sediments. Multiple earth-moving
construction activities may require multiple archaeological monitors.The
frequency of monitoring shall be based on the rate of excavation and
grading activities, proximity to known archaeological resources, the
materials being excavated(native versus artificial fill soils),and the depth
of excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of archaeological
resources encountered. Full-time monitoring can be reduced to part-time
inspections if determined adequate by the project archaeologist.
5) Prepare Report Upon Completion of Monitoring Services. The
archaeological monitor, under the direction of a qualified professional
archaeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional
Qualifications and Standards, shall prepare a final report at the
conclusion of archaeological monitoring. The report shall be submitted to
the Applicant,the South Central Costal Information Center,the City,and
representatives of other appropriate or concerned agencies to signify the
satisfactory completion of the project and required mitigation measures.
The report shall include a description of resources unearthed, if any,
evaluation of the resources with respect to the California Register and
CEQA, and treatment of the resources.

6) 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 to the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.

Avenue, south of Arrow Route—APNs: 0229-171-01 and 0229-181-03 and 11
Project Description: A proposal to construct 1 concrete tilt-up warehouse building totaling
approximately 215,600 square feet (9.5 acres) which is currently developed with small temporary
structures, partially paved and used as a storage yard
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.
