RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING TENTATIVE
PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19557,A PROPOSAL TO SUBDIVIDE A PARCEL
OF 42,150 SQUARE FEET INTO THREE(3)PARCELS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THREE (3) SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL HOMES WITHIN THE LOW (L) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
LOCATED AT 9757 LIBERTY STREET, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0201-251-56.
A. Recitals.
1. W&W Land Design Consultants filed an application for the approval of Tentative Parcel
Map SUBTPM19557, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,the
subject Tentative Tract Map 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 duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
on that date.
3. 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, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 42,150 square foot parcel located within the residential
neighborhood at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Lemon Avenue at 9757 Liberty
Street. The dimensions of the parcel are 130.99 feet from east to west and 334 feet from north to
south. The site contains an unoccupied single-family residence. There are a combination of wood
fences and block walls along the east, west and south perimeters of the site. Street improvements
along the north end of the property consist of street, curb and gutter, cobble parkway, sidewalk and
an existing driveway. The site is generally level with an elevation change of about 16 feet between
the northwest and southeast corners of the property; and
b. The site is located within the Low-Residential (L) District. The surrounding
properties to the north, south, east and west are developed with single-family homes and are also
located within the Low-Residential (L) District; and
c. The project proposes to subdivide the subject property into three (3) parcels and
construct one single-family house on each lot; and

d. The subdivision will result in a generally conventional lot(Lot 1)with two(2)flag lots
(Lots 2 and 3) behind it(as seen from the street). The conventional lot will have an area of 11,492
square feet while the two flag lots will have areas of 13,303 square feet and 17,355 square feet
(Lots 2 and 3, respectively). Lot 1 has a width of 91 feet and a depth of 134 feet. The "buildable"
part of Lot 2 has a depth of 110 feet and a width of 100 feet while that of Lot 3 has a depth of 130.99
feet and a width of 100 feet.To allow vehicular and pedestrian access to Liberty Street,the flag lots
will be connected to it by separate"poles", i.e. elongated sections of each lot. The poles for Lots 2
and 3 will be 20-foot wide by 110.4-foot long and 20-foot wide by 211-foot long, respectively; and
e. The project also involves the construction of one 2-story house on each lot(Minor
Design Review DRC2014-00700); and
f. A neighborhood meeting was conducted to gather input and comments from the
owners of the surrounding properties within 660 feet of the project site. This meeting was held at
Vineyard Junior High at 6440 Mayberry Avenue on January 18,2017. Several property owners from
the surrounding community attended. Although none of them had any specific objections to the
project,there were questions and concerns relating to the placement and design of 2-story homes,
the timing of development, as well as the demolition of the existing house onsite. Staff indicated to
the residents that the questions and concerns addressed at the neighborhood meeting would be
taken into consideration moving forward; and
g. The Design and Technical Review Committees reviewed the proposal on
April 18, 2017. No issues were identified at either meeting and both Committees accepted the
proposal as submitted and forwarded the project to the Planning Commission for review and action;
and
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. That the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,and
any applicable specific plans. The General Plan encourages the facilitation of sustainable and
attractive infill development that compliments surrounding neighborhoods.The project will meet this
goal as the property is surrounded by single-family residences and will be complimentary to the
neighborhood. The project is also in compliance with the Development Code as it meets the
required development standards, including minimum lot dimensions and minimum and average lot
area; and
b. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The subject
site currently contains street improvements along the north end of the property consisting of street,
curb and gutter, cobble parkway, sidewalk and an existing driveway; and
c. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The site was previously
developed and contains a single-family home and is located within an urbanized area of the City,
surrounded by single-family homes along the north,south,east and west.The proposed subdivision
will comply with the City's General Plan Land Use designation and is not anticipated to negatively
impact the environment; and

d. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems.The project
involves the subdivision of a single parcel into three parcels for the construction of three single-
family homes. The subdivision will comply with the City's density requirements specified within the
Development Code and is not anticipated to cause serious public health problems; and
e. The design of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired by the
public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. The adjacent properties to the west, south and east are single-family homes and to the
north is public right-of-way. The proposed project will not conflict with any easements.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under Classes 3 and 15 exemptions under State CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and 15315 (Minor
Subdivisions) because the project involves the construction of three(3) single-family houses and a
subdivision of one (1) parcel into three (3) parcels, respectively.. There is no substantial evidence
that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
