A. Recitals.
1. Richland Ventures, Inc. filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract
Map SUBTT18908 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 23rd day of March, 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application. At the request of Staff,the
review of the application was continued to a date unspecific.
3. On the 28th day of September, 2016, 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.
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 September 28, 2016, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located at the northwest corner of East
Avenue and Wilson Avenue with a linear dimension, from north to south, of approximately 659 feet
and a linear dimension, from east to west of approximately 662 feet and is presently undeveloped;
and
b. With the exception of a residential subdivision to the southwest, the site is
surrounded by vacant land in all directions. The zoning of the subject property and the properties to
the north and west is Low(L) Residential District, while the zoning of the properties to the east and
south is Very Low(VL) Residential District. The project site and all surrounding properties are within
the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP); and

c. The applicant, Richland Ventures, Inc., proposes to subdivide a property of
approximately 10.6 acres into 30 single-family detached lots. The proposed density for the project is
2.83 dwelling units per acre. The maximum density allowed within the Low(L) Residential District,
ENSP, is 4 dwelling units per acre. The average lot area for the project is 10,007 square feet and
the minimum net average for the Low(L) Residential District in the ENSP is 10,000 square feet. The
site layout is consistent with the ENSP development standards such as lot width and depth,
minimum and average lot area, street width, and wall design; and
d. The conceptual grading plan indicates the highest pad elevation is 1,645 feet at the
northwest corner of the site, and lowest pad elevation is 1,635 feet at the southwest corner of the
site. There are 2:1 slopes along the northern and northwestern portion of the site within the rear yard
area of lots 1 thru 13, and at the south and east perimeters of the site along East Avenue and
Wilson Avenue. The slopes along East Avenue and Wilson Avenue will be within a private
landscape easement that will be maintained by a homeowners association created for this
subdivision; and
e. The subdivision will have two points of access, one along the future extension of
Wilson Avenue and one along the future extension of East Avenue. The Engineering Department
has included conditions that require dedication and construction of perimeter streets, including East
Avenue and Wilson Avenue; and
f. The design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the surrounding
residential subdivisions including the adjacent subdivision, of 358 lots on approximately 150.8 acres,
located to the north and west of the subject property that was approved by the City Council on
June 16, 2004 (related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072). The lots within Tract 16072 are
similar in size and layout to the lots of the proposed project; and
g. Per the ENSP, this site is located within the"Upper Etiwanda"neighborhood,which
requires specific site design features. The Upper Etiwanda neighborhood entry monument will be
installed at the northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and East Avenue in accordance with Exhibit
25(A)of the ENSP,which was included as an attachment to the Design Review Comments(Exhibit
E of the staff report). A stone wall 30 inches in height (maximum) with a concrete cap and low
pilaster will be constructed.Also, per the ENSP, a theme wall is required along lots that abut Wilson
Avenue and East Avenue. The theme wall will consist of a concrete block cap with a stucco color
and finish that will match the existing walls in the surrounding area. The stone used in the
monument entry and theme wall columns is Coronado stone.
h. The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC) on
September 15, 2015. No major issues were discussed in the DRC Comments. However,there were
two secondary issues involving landscaping. As a result, conditions are included in the attached
Conditions of Approval that require street trees to be provided that are indicated on the City's
acceptable street tree list, and that require future development of this site to comply with the water
efficient landscaping standards specified in the Development Code Chapter 17.82. The Committee
recommended approval of the project to the Planning Commission; and
i. The project was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) on
September 15, 2015. Preliminary conditions were discussed.The Committee accepted the proposal
and recommended approval; and

j. On October 26, 2016, a neighborhood meeting was conducted by the applicant at
the nearby Summit Intermediate School. The intent of this meeting was to invite property owners
within a 660 foot radius of the project boundaries for input relating to the project. There were a total
of three attendees, in addition to the applicant, project Engineer, and Planning Department staff.
During the meeting,the applicant presented the tentative tract map and conceptual grading plan for
the proposed project. No concerns or major issues were brought up.
k. On November 9, 2015, per AB 52, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians and the
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians were notified of the project. The purpose of that notice was to
determine if either tribe desired consultation to discuss the proposal. Staff received a series of
correspondences via letters and email from both Tribes. Per a letter dated December 7, 2015, the
Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians indicated that the tribe does not have any specific concerns
regarding known cultural resources in the specific area that the project encompasses. They also
went on to request that the approved Native American Monitors be present during any future ground
disturbing proceedings, including survey and archaeological testing, associated with this project. On
November 17, 2015, staff received a response email from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians,
requesting to review a Cultural Resource Assessment(CRA)for the site. After reviewing the CRA,
the San Manuel Band requested to know why the issue of potential for subsurface cultural deposits
was not specifically addressed. According to the CRA and Paleontological Review conducted by
FirstCarbon Solutions on September 5, 2014, no archaeological or historical cultural resources were
found, and the proposed project is expected to have no impacts on any archaeological or historic
resources. Per the Cultural Resources Assessment, the recommendations section addresses the
potential for subsurface archaeological materials based on the results of the records search (2
records were searched) and pedestrian survey. Based on the records search and site surveys,
FirstCarbon Solutions has determined the project to have a low potential for encountering buried
prehistoric resources as none have been previously recorded within the project nor within a mile
radius. The exact text from the study discussing this matter is as follows:
No historic or prehistoric resources were found during the course of the pedestrian survey.
Ground visibility was approximately 75 percent, and the ground surfaces were exposed between
natural vegetation cover. No resources have been recorded within the project area. FCS has
assessed the effects of the proposed development on any local cultural resources. The results of
the assessment indicate that the proposed project is expected to have no impacts on any
archaeological or historic resources. Based on the results of the record searches and pedestrian
survey, FCS considers the project area to have low sensitivity for prehistoric and historic resources,
and archaeological monitoring is not recommended.
Although mitigation measures are included that require an archaeologist to be retained to monitor
the initial grading in areas, it is not guaranteed that monitoring of the site will continue beyond the
initial grading of the site. Therefore, in an effort to reduce the direct and indirect impacts that this
project could have on Native American tribal cultural resources to a"less than significant"status, a
mitigation measure is included that requires the applicant to contact the San Manuel Band of
Mission Indians to discuss monitoring of the project to ensure that cultural resources that may be
encountered during ground disturbances are protected and preserved for study. This mitigation
requires the applicant to submit the results of this consultation to the City prior to issuance of permits
for grading of the site.
The Initial Study for this project was circulated on February 18, 2016. The Planning Department
received comments from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.The comments include revisions
to the Cultural Resources mitigations numbers 2, 4 and 7 in the Initial Study Parts II and III. The
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18908— RICHLAND VENTURES, INC.
September 28, 2016
Page 4
comments received will not remove or change the intent of the previously proposed mitigations, but
will ultimately make the mitigations stronger and more specific. Staff has since updated the
mitigations in the Cultural Resources section of the Initial Study Parts II and III and the Resolution to
reflect the comments received; and
I. The Planning Department previously prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration
that was circulated on February 18, 2016. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public
comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration at a Planning
Commission hearing that was scheduled for March 23, 2016. On March 22, 2016, the Planning
Department received a letter from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW),
specifically involving the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat and Coastal California Gnatcatcher, Los
Angeles and San Diego Pocket Mouse, Listed and Sensitive Plant Species, Nesting Bird and
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Habitat Conservation, Lake and Streambed Alteration Program, and
Cumulative Impacts to the Etiwanda Alluvial Fan. Staff requested a continuance to allow the
applicant the time to adequately prepare a response to CDFW's comments/recommendations.The
applicant and the applicant's biologist have since worked with Staff and submitted a response that
addresses the concerns described in the letter.
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
Etiwanda North Specific Plan.The proposal involves a subdivision for residential development within
the Low(L) Residential Zoning District of the ENSP and the Low Residential General Plan land use
designation. The maximum density within this zone and General Plan land use designation is 4
dwelling units per acre. The proposed subdivision involves a density of 2.83 dwelling units per acre;
and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General
Plan, Development Code, and Etiwanda North Specific Plan. The project involves a request to
subdivide a 10.6 acre site into 30 lots for future residential development. The minimum lot size is
10,007 square feet and the minimum net average for the Low(L) Residential District in the ENSP is
10,000 square feet. The project site layout is also consistent with the ENSP development standards
such as lot width and depth, street width, and wall design; and
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. Currently the
site is undeveloped. The project involves grading of the site to comply with the City requirements
and to be consistent with previously approved tract maps within the vicinity of the subject property;
and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat.An initial study was prepared for
the project that includes mitigation measures to reduce any potential impacts to humans or wildlife to
less than significant; and
e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
proposed project involves a residential subdivision. The included mitigation measures, along with
the future single-family residential use, will not cause serious public health problems; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18908— RICHLAND VENTURES, INC.
September 28, 2016
Page 5
f. 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 project incorporates two points of access, one along Wilson Avenue and one along
the future extension of East Avenue. East Avenue is currently not improved north of Wilson Avenue,
along the east side of the project site. The Engineering Department has included conditions that
require dedication and construction of perimeter streets, including East Avenue and Wilson Avenue.
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, 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.
e. Based on comments received from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians,
mitigation measures relating to Cultural Resources were modified. Consistent with CEQA section
15074.1, City staff determined that the new measures are equivalent or more effective in mitigating
or avoiding potential significant effects and that it in itself will not cause any potentially significant
effect on the environment.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48

f. According to CEQA section 15073.5(c), recirculation of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration is not required under the following circumstances: (1)Mitigation measures are replaced
with equal or more effective measures pursuant to Section 15074.1; (2) New project revisions are
added in response to written or verbal comments on the project's effects identified in the proposed
negative declaration which are not new avoidable significant effects; (3) Measures or conditions of
project approval are added after circulation of the negative declaration which are not required by
CEQA,which do not create new significant environmental effects and are not necessary to mitigate
an avoidable significant effect; and (4) New information is added to the negative declaration which
merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to the negative declaration.
There were a total of three mitigation measures that were modified (Mitigation Measures 2,4 and 9)
that made the mitigation equally or more effective. This includes strengthening the required
mitigation land from 1:1 to 3:1 and specifically defining the location of the land to be preserved in
perpetuity as being habitat within the Day Creek area of the Etiwanda Fan along the northern
boundary of the 175-acre conservation area for Tentative Tract 16072. The modification also adds
approximately 1 acre of riparian habitat within the 27.4 acres of habitat discussed above. No new
project revisions were added in response to the concerns. The design of the proposed subdivision
remains the same as prior to receiving the comments that were submitted by CDFW. No new
measures were added in response to the concerns. As previously stated, only existing measures
were replaced with equal or more effective measures. Lastly, the only new information that was
added to the negative declaration was for clarification purposes. This includes explanation of the
appropriateness of measures for impacts to wildlife, clarification of the site's lack of threatened or
endangered sensitive plant species, as well as discussion about the cumulative impacts to Alluvial
Fan habitat. Therefore, recirculation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is not required.
CEQA section 15074.1 requires that prior to deleting and substituting a mitigation measure,the lead
agency shall hold a public hearing on the matter, and adopt a written finding that the new measure is
equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it in itself
will not cause any potentially significant effects on the environment. Consistent with this section, City
staff determined that the new measures presented and discussed in this report relating to Biological
Resources are equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and
that it in itself will not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment. A Mitigation
Monitoring Program was also prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the
mitigation measures for the project.
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 in the
attached Conditions of Approval and the Mitigation Measures listed below.
Environmental Mitigation
Air Quality
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so
as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the

7) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
• Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
• Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
• Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.
• Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil
during and after the end of work periods.
• Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances
and use sound engineering practices.
• Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is
carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
• Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements.
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
8) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board(RWQCB))daily to reduce
PMK( emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
9) 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 PM,() emissions.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48

10) Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water
consumption and to provide passive solar benefits.
11) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to
comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure.
12) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-
efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters.
13) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
14) All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply with South
Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445,Wood Burning Devices. Rule
445 was adopted in March 2008 to reduce emissions of PM2 5 and precludes
the installation of indoor or outdoor wood burning devices (i.e.
fireplaces/hearths) in new development on or after March 9, 2009.
Biological Resources
1) If vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or any other construction related activity
is to occur during the avian nesting season (February 1 through August 31), a
preconstruction nesting survey shall be conducted and submitted to the
Planning Department for review and acceptance prior to initiation of
construction. If nests are discovered, they should be avoided through
establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified
wildlife biologist and consistent with CDFW protocols. 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 left the nest, then construction in
the area could resume. A biologist should be present on-site to monitor
vegetation removal activities to ensure that any nests not detected during the
initial survey are not disturbed. If initial ground disturbing activities or site
clearing is proposed to occur outside of the nesting season (September 1
through January 31), then a pre-construction survey would not be required and
construction could commence unimpeded.
2) Mitigation for the removal of white sage scrub on-site is required—preservation
in perpetuity of 27.4 acres of habitat within APN 1087-051-02 in the Day Creek
area of the Etiwanda Fan along the northern boundary of the 175-acre
conservation area for Tentative Tract 16072 (a 3:1 mitigation ratio). If this
mitigation measure is implemented, adverse effects to WSS habitat would be
less than significant. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall
provide documentation to the Planning Department that the property has been
deeded to an approved conservation entity and a conservation easement or
declaration of restricted covenants has been placed over the property.
3) Since there is habitat at the Site suitable to support special status plant species,
including one endangered species and several CRPR 1 B and 2 plants,focused
surveys shall be conducted prior to issuance of a grading permit, during the
appropriate blooming periods for the subject species, in order to document the
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18908— RICHLAND VENTURES, INC.
September 28, 2016
Page 9
presence or absence of those species at the Project Site. The survey shall be
conducted by a qualified biologist using methodology based on the most current
CDFW and CNPS rare plant survey protocols. The biologist shall identify all
occurrences of sensitive species and shall consult with CDFW and USFWS,as
appropriate depending on species status, to develop and execute a mitigation
plan to relocate plants, gather seeds from the plants, and distribute to a suitable
conserved habitat area.
4) To offset the loss of Los Angeles Pocket Mouse on the property from
development, the Project applicant will preserve 27.4 acres of habitat that is
adjacent to occupied LAPM habitat as identified in Biological Resource
Mitigation Measure 2.
5) The following measures are required to minimize indirect impacts to vegetation
in the vicinity of the project site:
• Dust control measures designed to minimize effects to vegetation in the
vicinity should be implemented.
• Native plants should be used to the greatest extent feasible in landscaped
areas. Many invasive non-native horticultural species can spread readily
into natural areas and the local watershed. Landscaping should not include
invasive plants identified by the California Invasive Plant Council(Cal-IPC).
6) No SBKR were detected on-site. The loss of SBKR critical habitat is not
expected to compromise the long-term survival of the species; therefore, no
mitigation measures for impacts to SBKR critical habitat are proposed.
However, since there are impacts proposed to on-site WOUS regulated under
the jurisdiction of the Corps, it is expected that the Corps will be required to
consult with USFWS under Section 7 of the FESA.
7) Ten days prior to ground clearing activities, a breeding bird survey that is in
conformance with the Migratory Bird Act shall be required to determine whether
nesting is occurring. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, this survey shall be
submitted to the City for review and acceptance. 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.
8) Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18908 — RICHLAND VENTURES, INC.
September 28, 2016
Page 10
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.
9) Prior to approval by the City of any grading and/or construction permits, the
Project applicant shall consult with the Corps to obtain a Jurisdictional
Determination and, if necessary, acquire required permit authorizations from the
regulatory agencies.These authorizations will include, but are not limited to,the
following:
• CWA Section 404 Permit from the Corps (Nationwide Permit 29 for
Residential Developments may be applicable)
• CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification from RWQCB, and
• California Fish and Game Code Section 1602 Streambed Alteration
Agreement from CDFW.
In addition to obtaining authorizations from regulatory agencies,the Project will
preserve in perpetuity approximately 1 acre of riparian habitat within the 27.4
acres of habitat identified in Biological Resource Mitigation Measure 2.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48

Additionally, a FESA Section 7 Consultation between the Corps and USFWS
will be required. Copies of any correspondence and/or permit authorizations
received shall be submitted to the City for review and record.
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 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

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 Museum.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18908
Public Review Period Closes: September 28, 2016
Project Name: Project Applicant: John H. Schafer
Project Location (also see attached map): The site is within the Low(L)Residential District in the
Etiwanda North Specific Plan located at the northwest corner of East Avenue and Wilson Avenue;
APN: 1087-081-25.
Project Description: The proposed project is a subdivision of a property of approximately 10.6
acres into 30 single-family detached lots for the future construction of 30 single-family residences.
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
