Tentative Tract Map No. 16605, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Tentative Tract Map Time Extension request is referred to as "the

approving Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605 subject to specific conditions and time limits.
3. On March 23, 2016, the Planning Commission adopted its Resolution No. 16-16,

4. On April 26, 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.
5. 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 substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing on April 26, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to 4 parcels with a combined area of approximately 21.0
acres located on the north side of Foothill Boulevard, between Red Hill Country Club Drive and
the Pacific Electric Trail, and is presently vacant; and
b. The project site is located in the Mixed Use (MU) District; and
c. The property to the north contains condominiums and single-family homes in the
Medium (M) Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) and Low (L) Residential District (2-
4 dwelling units per acre), the property to the south contains office, commercial, and

condominiums uses in the Mixed Use (MU) District and Medium (M) Residential District (8-14
dwelling units per acre), the property to the east contains Route 66 Trailhead and condominiums
in the Medium (M) Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre), and the property to the west
contains the Sycamore Inn Restaurant and other commercial land uses in the Mixed Use (MU)
District; and
d. This application is a request to extend the approval period of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16605 for one (1) additional year. Upon the initial approval of SUBTT16605 on
April 12, 2006, the approval period was for a duration of 3 years and was set to expire on
April 12, 2009. Subsequently, this map was subject to one (1) discretionary time extension
granted by the Planning Commission and several automatic time extensions granted through
Senate Bill 1185 and Assembly Bills 333, 208, and 116. The most recent time extension occurred
on March 23, 2016 when the Planning Commission approved Time Extension DRC2015-01110
extending the approval period for 1-year to April 12, 2017; and
e. Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605 contemplated the subdivision of the subject
parcel into eight (8) lots for condominium purposes (206 units). The applicant does not intend to
construct the homes at this time; and
f. The subdivision of the project site conforms to all applicable development
standards applicable to property in the Mixed Use (MU) District. The Development Code does not
identify minimum lot area, minimum lot width, or minimum lot depth requirements; and
g. The subdivision of the project site for residential condominium purposes (and its
eventual development) does not conflict with the Land Use policies of the General Plan, and will
provide for development within the Mixed Use (MU) District in a manner consistent with the
General Plan.
h. The entitlement applications related to the Tentative Tract Map (Design Review
DRC2003-00637, Variance DRC2005-01061, and Minor Development Review DRC2004-00826)
expired on April 6, 2011. No time extensions for these applications were requested nor could
they be granted as the option to extend the approval period for these types of applications was
not available prior to 2012; and
i. All future development of the site will require the review and approval of
entitlement applications (i.e., Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, etc.), and will be subject to
Planning Commission and/or City Council review and approval.
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 previously approved Tentative Tract Map for residential condominium
purposes and the associated Time Extension for the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the
City's current General Plan, specific plans, ordinances, plans, codes, and policies since all future
development of the site will require the review and approval of entitlement applications (i.e.,
Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, etc.), and will be subject to Planning Commission and/or
City Council review and approval. The proposed Time Extension for the Tentative Tract Map to
subdivide the property into eight (8) parcels and is consistent with the development district of the
project site; and

b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed
subdivision. The surrounding property to the north is developed with condominiums and single-
family homes, the property to the south contains office, commercial, and condominiums uses, the
property to the east contains Route 66 Trailhead and condominiums, and the property to the west
contains the Sycamore Inn Restaurant and other commercial land uses; and
c. The proposed subdivision, 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 proposed project is to subdivide the property into eight (8)
parcels — no development of the site is proposed; and
d. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed subdivision meets all standards outlined in the Development
Code and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and
the City; and
e. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local
ordinance. State law allows for one (1) year time extensions.
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 adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in April 12, 2006 in
connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is
required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i)
substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the
environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project
was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new
important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously
considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different
mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts; and
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the DRC2017-00249, that
substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred
which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The previous project contemplated the subdivision of the project site for
the development of a 206-unit condominium project and the Time Extension for Tentative Tract
Map SUBTT16605 is consistent with that approval. Staff further finds that the project will not have
one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not
have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation
measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant.
There are no new effects from the subdivision of the property that were not discussed or analyzed
or evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration; and

c. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant
to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Time Extension DRC2017-00249.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above,
this Commission hereby grants a time extension for:
