PERMIT DRC2016-00007, A REQUEST TO REMOVE 62 TREES FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 182-UNIT MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT (INCLUDING 5 LIVE-WORK UNITS) ON 4.78 ACRES
OF LAND IN THE MIXED USE (MU) DISTRICT, LOCATED AT THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND HERMOSA
AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -
APN: 1077-601-13 AND 1077-601-14.
A. Recitals.
1. The applicant, Charles Joseph Associates, filed an application for the approval of Tree
Removal Permit No. DRC2016-00007, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in
this Resolution, the subject Tree Removal Permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 26th day of October, 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a 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 meeting on October 26, 2016, including written and oral staff reports, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to approximately 4.78 acres of land, basically a
rectangular configuration, located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Hermosa
Avenue and is currently designated Mixed Use; and
b. The project site is approximately 363 feet from east to west and 619 feet from
north to south and the southerly half of the site contains a liquor store (Shop & Go), a motel (Motel
66), and a closed night club (Rock the Keys); the northerly half of the site is vacant; and
c. The property to the north contains single-family homes;to the east is the Villaggio
on Route 66 workforce apartment complex (DRC2006-00633) and an existing vacant
single-family residential house that has been used commercially; to the south is a multi-tenant
office building and restaurant (Kick Back Jacks); and to the west are commercial uses (Xtreme

d. The related Design Review application (DRC2016-00006) is a request to develop
a 182-unit multi-family residential development (including 5 live-work units), located at the
northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Hermosa Avenue; and
e. The trees are not designated as historically significant; and
f. The trees are not noted in any Specific Plan/Community Plan or condition of
approval; and
g. The Arborist Report (Arborist Services, December 2, 2015) evaluated a total of
62 trees on the project site whose location conflicts with project improvements; 3 of these trees
meet the Development Codes criteria for height and trunk dimension to be considered heritage
trees. Most of the 62 trees on-site are in average to below average condition, several are dead,
and the location of all trees conflict with proposed improvements. All 3 trees that meet the height
and dimension criteria for heritage trees (Tree of Heaven) were not planted as part of a project,
but are presumed to be seeded by birds and are considered a weed. The Landscape Plan
demonstrates that the 62 trees removed as part of this project will be replaced with a variety of
36-inch box, 24-inch box, and 15-gallon size trees. Based on Development Code standards for
tree plantings a total of 163 trees are required for the project, and the Landscape Plan proposes
planting trees throughout the project site to address this requirement; and
h. It is necessary to remove the trees in order to construct improvements which
allow economic enjoyment of the property; and
i. There are a variety of existing healthy trees in the neighborhood; the removal
does not affect the established character of the area and the property values; and
j. It is not necessary to remove the trees to construct required improvements within
the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way; and
k. The trees cannot be preserved by pruning and proper maintenance or relocation
rather than removal; and
I. The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource of the City.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above- referenced meeting 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 Tree Removal Permit is consistent with the objectives of the
General Plan. The related mixed use development (Design Review DRC2016-00006) is
consistent with the General Plan Mixed Use land use designation. The removal of the subject
trees is necessary to develop the related 182-unit mixed use development; and
b. The proposed Tree Removal Permit is in accord with the objectives of the
Municipal Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located, which permits the
removal of heritage trees when associated with development of a project site. In this case removal
of the trees is necessary to construct a related 182-unit mixed use development. Additionally, the
Arborist Report submitted for the related project (Arborist Services, December 2, 2015)
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-50
TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2016-00007 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES
October 26, 2016
Page 3
determined that the on-site trees are in poor condition due to their condition, health, and conflict
with proposed improvements; and
c. The proposed Tree Removal Permit is in compliance with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code including replacement of the removed trees with trees of a
species and quantity commensurate with the aesthetic value of the trees to be removed. In this
case, a minimum of 163 trees will be planted as part of the related development, 101 more trees
than those removed; and
d. The proposed Tree Removal Permit, 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 as the 62 on-site trees will be replaced with 163 new
trees throughout the project site.
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; 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 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.
