A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW
DRC2016-00814, A REQUEST FOR 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
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—
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-31

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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-31
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00814
NATIONAL COMMUNITY RENAISANCE OF CALIFORNIA

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, or welfare, 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,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: (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.

30. 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.
31. 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.
32. 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
the time of year of construction.
33. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM10
emissions from the site during such episodes.
34. 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.
35. 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.
36. 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.
37. Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes.
38. Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or diesel-powered engines
where feasible.

39. 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.
Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction
in the area may resume.

40. 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.
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.
