Page 3
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; and
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; and
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; and
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 on 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

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 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 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.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-22
SUBTT19968 —GFR HOMES
April 27, 2016
Page 7
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.
3) Plant 5-gallon size eucalyptus trees in the rear yard off all 11
residential lots in a windrow along the rear property line at 8 feet on
center. Adequate provisions for deep irrigation of the trees shall be
shown on the Landscape Plans submitted with the Design Review
application for the future residences on the lots.
4) All trees located on the future lot for the Ernst Mueller House, except
those associated with the Tree Removal Permit and evaluated under
the project Arborist Report, shall remain in place and shall be
protected in place during all construction activities. Construction
barriers, situated outside of the drip line for all trees, shall be installed
prior to the issuance of grading permits for the project.
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:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-22

April 27, 2016
Page 8
• 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 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) 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).
