RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Design Review
DRC2015-00975, Variance DRC2016-00154 and Minor Exception DRC2016-00256 through
adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with Conditions.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Project Density: 4.8 Dwelling Units per Acre
North - Single -Family Residential; Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
South - Single -Family Residential; Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
East - Single -Family Residential; Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
West - Kenyon Park; Park
B. General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Low Medium Residential
North - Low Medium Residential
South - Low Medium Residential
East - Low Medium Residential
West - Park
ANALYSIS
A. Project Background: The Planning Commission approved the subdivision of the 6.5 acre
project site into 31 single-family residential lots on March 11, 2015 (SUBTT18508). The
original approval included a General Plan Amendment (DRC2014-00560), a Victoria
Community Plan Amendment (DRC2014-00561) and Variance (DRC2014-01117). The
General Plan Amendment changed the land use designation of the project site from Park (P)
to Low Medium (LM) Residential. The Victoria Community Plan Amendment changed the
zoning designation from School (S) to Low Medium (LM) Residential. The Variance reduced
the required lot depth of Lot #19. The City Council approved the General Plan and Victoria
Community Plan Amendments at the June 3, 2015 City Council meeting.
B. Proiect Proposal: The applicant proposes constructing 31 single-family residences on the 6.5
acre project site, which is located at the southwest corner Kenyon Way and Lark Drive and is
adjacent to Kenyon Park. The site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and
approximately 400 feet from north to south and drains roughly north to south, with a
Community trail running along the south and west property lines.
Three floor plans along with three unique elevations per floor plan are proposed. The
Development Code requires subdivisions with between 21 and 40 residences to provide 5
floorplans and three elevations per floor plan. The Code permits reverse footprints to count as
an additional floorplan. The homes range in size from 2,437 square feet to 2,967 square feet.
The proposed architectural styles are Spanish, Craftsman and Farmhouse. The approved lots
range in size from 5,025 square feet to 11,201 square feet, with an average lot size of 6,774
square feet. Subdivisions with lot sizes averaging less than 7,500 square feet in size are not
required to provide single -story plans. As such, only two-story plans are proposed.

Lot coverage ranges from 30.8 percent to 58.7 percent, below the maximum permitted 60
percent lot coverage. The required front yard setbacks are 20-foot minimum and 25-foot
average; the required side yard setbacks are 5 and 10 feet; and, the required rear yard
setback is 15 feet. Each lot except for Lot #19 and #31 comply with the related development
standards. Lot #19 does not meet either the minimum 20-foot front yard or the 15-foot rear
yard setback requirements. A Variance (DRC2014-01117) for the lot depth of Lot #19 was
reviewed and approved with the original approval of the subdivision. The proposed front yard
setback of Lot #19 is 10 feet and the proposed rear yard setback is 11 feet. Lot #19 is oddly
shaped due to a requirement that there be a larger parkway along Kenyon Way for line -of -site
purposes. Lot #19 is also negatively impacted by a curve in an interior street. These lot
constraints make it difficult to plot one of the proposed floor plans on this lot without approval
of a Variance. Lot #19, however, is 7,819 square feet in size and will provide large rear and
side yard areas. The house plotted on Lot #19 is designed with a side entrance, so the
proposed house plotting places the main entrance facing the public street. Lot #31 requires a
.27-foot reduction in the required 10-foot side yard setback (9.73 foot proposed) due to the
shape of the lot, which narrows slightly towards the rear of the lot.
A Minor Exception (DRC2016-00256) is being requested to increase the permitted wall height
from 6 feet to up to 8 feet, due to an up to 4 foot grade difference between the project site and
Kenyon Park. The increased wall height will be most noticeable on the Kenyon Park side of
the wall. All walls within the project are designed to match the design and color of the existing
walls in the surrounding area.
A Condition of Approval was included with the approved tract map requiring the installation of
a four way stop sign at the corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive. The project includes 3
lettered lots that will be maintained by the Landscape Maintenance District in the area. Lot "A"
was created on the south side of Lark Drive in order to get the intersection of the new project
street and the existing street across Kenyon Way (Lark Drive) to line up. Lots "B" and "C"
were necessary in order to provide line -of -site visibility for the interior streets of the project
where they intersect Kenyon Way, which is curvilinear along the project boundary. The
Engineering Department has agreed to accept dedication and maintenance of these lettered
lots.
C. Variance: The applicant has requested a Variance to reduce the required front and rear
setbacks of Lot #19. The front yard setback is being requested to be reduced from 20 feet to
10 feet and the rear yard setback reduced from 15 feet to 11 feet. Lot #19 was approved with
a reduced lot depth due to a corner cutoff required to provide visibility for oncoming traffic
along Kenyon Way, where it intersects with the intersection of Grimaldi Road.
The Development Code defines lot depth as the horizontal distance between the midpoint of
the front lot line and the midpoint of the rear lot line. The lot is approximately 114 feet deep
along the west property line and approximately 20 feet deep along the east property line. At
the midpoint, the lot is approximately 73 feet deep, 17 feet less than the required 90-foot
minimum lot depth. The applicant is also requesting a minor deviation (.27 foot) from the
required 10 foot setback on Lot #31, due to the lot narrowing from front to back.

Staff is in support of granting the Variance for both setback reductions on Lot #19, due to the
odd shape of Lot #19 and the fact that Lot #19 is over 50 percent larger than the minimum
6,000 square foot lot size requirement (for lots over 55 feet wide). Staff also supports the
setback reduction of Lot #31, due to the narrowing of the lot width. The findings of fact below
support the necessary findings, which are required by the City's Development Code:
Fact: Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in a
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Code.
Finding: Without the reduction in the setback requirements, the applicant would be required to
design a unique floor plan for Lots #19 and #31 that meets the required setbacks, which would
place an unnecessary physical hardship on the applicant.
Fact: There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone.
Finding: The project site is adjacent to a wide curve in a public street, Kenyon Way, which
limits vehicular visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of Grimaldi
Road. The visibility issue has been resolved by providing a corner cutoff adjacent to the
subject intersection, which in turn creates a physical limitation on Lot #19 from meeting the
required 90-foot lot depth. Lot #31 narrows from the front to the rear of the lot creating an odd
shaped lot.
Fact: Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive
the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone.
Finding: Without a reduction in the lot setback requirements it would be difficult to develop Lot
#19 and #31 with the proposed floor plans. The reduction in the related setback requirements
will permit the applicant to develop the lots with single-family residences that are of similar
size and design to those in the surrounding area.
Fact: The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone.
Finding: It is common practice to grant Variances for a reduction in a development criteria
where there is a physical limitation restricting compliance with that criteria. In this case, a
corner cutoff was created to provide vehicle visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a
new extension of Grimaldi Road, which restricts Lot #19 from complying with the front and
rear setback requirements. Lot #31 narrows in width from the front to the rear of the lot due to
offsite slopes and a community trail.
Fact: The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

Finding: The Variance will not negatively impact the properties in the surrounding area as Lot
#19 and #31 comply with the lot size requirement of the zoning district and will not be visibly
different from the lots in the surrounding area. Further, the Variance will not adversely impact
the adjacent lots as the setback reductions are adjacent to either the public right-of-way, a
community trail or a City park.
D. Minor Exception: The applicant has requested a Minor Exception (DRC2016-00256) to
increase the maximum permitted wall height from 6 feet to 8 feet related to an up to 2-foot
grade change along the west property line, adjacent to Kenyon Park. Combination wall
heights are calculated by adding'/z the height of the retaining portion of the subject wall to the
free standing portion of the wall. The extra wall height will be most visible on the Kenyon Park
side of the wall. The findings of fact below support the necessary findings, which are required
by the City's Development Code:
Fact: The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific plan
or Development Agreement.
Finding: The proposed increase in the height of the west property line wall is due to a grade
difference between the project site and the adjacent City park (Kenyon Park) and is
consistent with the residential nature of the Low Medium (LM) Development District in which
the site is located. The additional wall height will provide privacy and security to the adjacent
single-family residences.
Fact: The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the
surrounding area.
Finding: The increase in wall height for a portion of the west property line wall on the project
site is compatible with the surrounding land uses, in that the additional wall height will not
negatively impact the residential nature of the subject lots and will be most visible on the park
side of the wall.
Fact: The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to allow
creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions.
Finding: There is up to a 4-foot grade difference between the project site and the City park
(Kenyon Park) to the west. The additional wall height will allow the future home owners to
screen and secure their private yard areas with a 6-foot high wall.
Fact: The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not
be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious properties or
improvements in the vicinity.

Finding: It is common practice to approve Minor Exceptions for wall height when there is a
grade difference between adjacent lots. In this case there is a up to a 4-foot grade difference
between the project site and the adjacent City park (Kenyon Park).
E. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting on March 29, 2016,
with approximately 10 residents in attendance. The main topics of discussion were traffic
concerns at the Kenyon Way/Lark Drive intersection, a timeline for starting construction of the
homes, the proposed prices of the homes and how to get on a waiting list for the homes. The
applicant informed the attendees that the original subdivision included a requirement to install
a 4-way stop at the Kenyon Way/Lark Drive intersection, that construction is anticipated to
commence this summer (2016), that pricing has not been finalized and that the latest sales
information can be found on DR Hortons website. The residents were satisfied with the
answers provided.
F. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(Fletcher, Granger) on March 15, 2016. The Committee recommended that the project be
forwarded to the Planning Commission with the applicant agreeing that 25 percent of the
residences would be constructed with the optional California rooms, which are shown on the
plans, that a 30/30 sand finish stucco will be used on all residences and that all decorative
trim will either be wood or foam with a smooth or wood grained troweled finish. The applicant
agreed to make all the recommended changes and the Resolution of Approval for the Design
Review includes Conditions of Approval requiring each of these design features.
G. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Committee on March
15, 2016. The Committee approved the project as presented.
H. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")
and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on
June, 3, 2015 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 and
Victoria Community Plan Amendment DRC2014-00561. 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.
Staff has evaluated Design Review DRC2015-00975 and concludes 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 project is for the Design Review of the house product on the previously
approved 31 lot subdivision. 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. The

scope of the project has not changed in a manner that would negatively impact the original
environmental review or that would require additional mitigation measures. The approved 31
lot tentative tract map contemplated the ultimate development of 31 single-family residents
and the proposed Design Review is consistent with the approved map. The Variance and
Minor Exception will not create impacts that were not contemplated or will create impacts
requiring additional mitigation measures. The circumstances surrounding the project have not
changed. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
concur with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required in
connection with the City's consideration of Design Review DRC2015-00975, Variance
DRC2016-00154 and Minor Exception DRC2016-00256.

RESOLUTION NO. 16-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW
DRC2015-00975, A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN AND ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW OF 31 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ON 6.5 ACRES OF LAND
IN THE LOW MEDIUM (LM) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (4-8 DWELLING
UNITS PERACRE) OF THE VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN LOCATED ON
THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF KENYON WAYAND LARK DRIVE; AND
MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF—APN: 1089-011-04.
A. Recitals.
1. D.R. Horton filed an application for the approval of Design Review DRC2015-00975 as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review
request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of May 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 public hearing on May 11, 2016, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest corner of Kenyon
Way and Lark Drive in the Low Medium (LM) Zoning District; and
b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north
to south; and
C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium
(LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and
d. The applicant proposes constructing 31 single-family residences on the 6.5 acre
project site; and
e. Three floor plans along with three unique elevations per floor plan are proposed.
The Development Code requires subdivisions with between 21 and 40 residences to provide 5

f. A Variance (DRC2016-00154) is included requesting setback reductions for Lot
#19 and #31: and
g. A Minor Exception (DRC2016-00256) is being requested to increase the property
line wall heights up to 8 feet adjacent to Kenyon Park; and
h. The project includes 3 lettered lots that will be maintained by the Landscape
Maintenance District in the area. Lot "A" is on the south side of Lark Drive and was created in order
to permit the intersection of the new project street and Lark Drive to line up. Lots "B" and "C" were
created in order to provide line -of -site visibility for the project's interior streets where they intersect
with Kenyon Way, which is curvilinear along the project boundary. The Engineering Department has
agreed to accept dedication and maintenance of the lettered lots.
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 proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The project is for the
design review of 31 single-family lots on a previously subdivided project site. The proposed use and
density are consistent with the General Plan.
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located. The project is for the Design Review of 31 single-
family residences on a previously subdivided project site. The use and density are consistent with
the Development Code and the Victoria Community Plan.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The project is for the Design Review of 31 single-family residences on a
previously subdivided project site. The project complies with all requirements of the Development
Code and the Victoria Community Plan except that a Variance (DRC2016-00154) for a reduction in
the setback requirement is being requested for Lot #19 and #31 and a Minor Exception (DRC2016-
00256) to allow increased wall heights due to a grade difference between the project site and the
adjacent City Park.
d. The proposed use, 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 environmental report written for the subdivision (SUBTT18508) of
the project site outlines potential environmental impacts related to the project and identifies project
specific mitigation measures that reduce these impacts to less -than -significant.
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 June, 3, 2015 in connection
with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 and Victoria Community Plan
Amendment DRC2014-00561. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-30
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00975
D.R. HORTON

Page 3
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.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2015-
00975, 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 project is for the design review of the house product on the
previously approved 31 lot subdivision. 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. The approved 31 lot
tentative tract map contemplated the ultimate development of 31 single-family residents and the
proposed Design Review is consistent with the approved map. The Variance and Minor Exception
will not create impacts that were not contemplated or will create impacts requiring additional
mitigation measures. The circumstances surrounding the project have not changed. The proposed
Design Review of the 31 residences on the project site is in keeping with the scope and intent of the
original environmental review.
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 Design Review DRC2015-00975 and the
related entitlements.
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 attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) Approval is for the site plan and design review of 31 single-family
residences on the previously subdivided project site located northwest

ACRES OF LAND IN THE LOW MEDIUM (LM) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (4-

1089-011-04.
A. Recitals.
1. D.R. Horton filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2016-00154 as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request
is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of May 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 public hearing on May 11, 2016, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest corner of Kenyon
Way and Lark Drive in the Low Medium (LM) Zoning District; and
b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north
to south; and
C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium
(LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and
project site; and
The applicant proposes constructing 31 single-family residences on the 6.5 acre

e. The project includes a Variance (DRC2016-00154) to reduce the required front and
rear setbacks of Lot #19. The front yard setback is being requested to be reduced from 20 feet to 10
feet and the rear yard setback reduced from 15 feet to 11 feet. The depth of Lot #19 is reduced by a
corner cutoff required to provide visibility for oncoming traffic along Kenyon Way, where it intersects
with a new extension of Grimaldi Road.
The Development Code defines lot depth as the horizontal distance between the midpoint of the
front lot line and the midpoint of the rear lot line. The lot is approximately 114 feet deep along the
west property line and approximately 20 feet deep along the east property line. At the midpoint, the
lot is approximately 73 feet deep, 17 feet less than the required 90-foot minimum lot depth. The
applicant is also requesting a minor deviation (.27 foot) from the required 10-foot setback on Lot#31
due to the lot narrowing from front to back.
Staff is in support of granting the Variance for each of the setback reductions due to the odd shape
of Lot #19 and the fact that Lot #19 is over 50 percent larger than the minimum 6,000 square foot lot
size requirement (for lots over 55 feet wide). Staff also supports the setback reduction of Lot #31
due to the narrowing of the lot width from front to back.
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. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
result in a difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Code.
Without the reduction in the setback requirements, the applicant would be required to design a
unique floor plan for Lots #19 and #31 that meets the required setbacks, which would place an
unnecessary physical hardship on the applicant.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone. The project site is adjacent to a wide curve in a public street, Kenyon
Way, which limits vehicular visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of
Grimaldi Road. The visibility issue has been resolved by providing a corner cutoff adjacent to the
subject intersection, which in turn creates a physical limitation on Lot #19 from meeting the required
90-foot lot depth. Lot #31 narrows from the front to the rear of the lot creating an odd shaped lot.
C. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone.
Without a reduction in the lot setback requirements it would be difficult to develop Lot#19 and #31.
The reduction in the related setback requirements will permit the applicant to develop the lots with
single-family residences that are of similar size and design to those in the surrounding area.
d. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. It is common
practice to grant Variances for a reduction in a development criteria where there is a physical
limitation restricting compliance with that criteria. In this case, a corner cutoff was created to provide
vehicle visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of Grimaldi Road, which
restricts Lot #19 from complying with the front and rear setback requirements. Lot #31 narrows in
width from the front to the rear of the lot due to offsite slopes and a community trail.

The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The Variance will not negatively
impact the properties in the surrounding area as Lot #19 and #31 comply with the lot size
requirement of the zoning district and will not be visibly different from the lots in the surrounding
area. Further, the Variance will not adversely impact the adjacent lots as the setback reductions are
adjacent to either the public right-of-way, a community trail or a City park.
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 on June, 3, 2015 in connection
with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 and Victoria Community Plan
Amendment DRC2014-00561. 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: (1) 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.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2015-
00975, 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 project is for the design review of the house product on the
previously approved 31 lot subdivision. 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. The approved 31 lot
tentative tract map contemplated the ultimate development of 31 single-family residences and the
proposed Design Review is consistent with the approved map. The Variance and Minor Exception
will not create impacts that were not contemplated or will create impacts requiring additional
mitigation measures. The circumstances surrounding the project have not changed. The proposed
Design Review of the 31 residences on the project site is in keeping with the scope and intent of the
original environmental review.
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 Design Review DRC2015-00975 and the
related entitlements.
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 attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING MINOR EXCEPTION
DRC2016-00256, A REQUEST TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM WALL
HEIGHT UP TO 8 FEET DUE TO A GRADE DIFFERENCE RELATED TO
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00975 FOR THE SITE PLAN AND
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF 31 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ON 6.5
ACRES OF LAND IN THE LOW MEDIUM (LM) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (4-
8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) OF THE VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN
LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF KENYON WAY AND
LARK DRIVE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF —APN:
1089-011-04.
A. Recitals.
1. D.R. Horton filed an application for the approval of Minor Exception DRC2016-00256 as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Minor Exception
request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of May 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 public hearing on May 11, 2016, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest corner of Kenyon
Way and Lark Drive in the Low Medium (LM) Zoning District; and
b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north
to south; and
C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium
(LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and
d. The applicant proposes constructing 31 single-family residences on the 6.5 acre
project site; and
e. The project includes a Minor Exception (DRC2016-00256) requestto increasethe
maximum permitted wall height from 6 feet to 8 feet related to an up to 4-foot grade change along
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-32
MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2016-00256

the west property line, adjacent to Kenyon Park. Combination wall heights are calculated by adding
% the height of the retaining portion of the subject wall to the free standing portion of the wall. The
extra wall height will be most visible on the Kenyon Park side of the wall.
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 Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific
plan or Development Agreement. The proposed increase in the height of the west property line wall
is due to a grade difference between the project site and the adjacent City park (Kenyon Park) and
is consistent with the residential nature of the Low Medium (LM) Development District in which the
site is located. The additional wall height will provide privacy and security to the adjacent single-
family residences.
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in
the surrounding area. The increase in wall height for a portion of the west property line wall on the
project site is compatible with the surrounding land uses in that the additional wall height will not
negatively impact the residential nature of the subject lots and will be most visible on the park side of
the wall.
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. There is an up to 4-foot grade difference between the subject
lot and the neighboring lot to the west. The additional wall height will allow the future home owners
to screen and secure their private yard areas with a 6-foot high wall.
d. The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious properties or improvements in
the vicinity. It is common practice to approve Minor Exceptions for wall height when there is a grade
difference between adjacent lots. In this case there is an up to 4-foot grade difference between the
project site and the adjacent City park (Kenyon Park).
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 June, 3, 2015 in connection
with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 and Victoria Community Plan
Amendment DRC2014-00561. 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.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2015-
00975, that substantial changes to the project orthe 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 project is for the design review of the house product on the
previously approved 31 lot subdivision. 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. The approved 31 lot
tentative tract map contemplated the ultimate development of 31 single-family residents and the
proposed Design Review is consistent with the approved map. The Variance and Minor Exception
will not create impacts that were not contemplated or will create impacts requiring additional
mitigation measures. The circumstances surrounding the project have not changed. The proposed
design review of the 31 residences on the project site is in keeping with the scope and intent of the
original environmental review.
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 Design Review DRC2015-00975 and the
related entitlements.
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 attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) Approval is for a Minor Exception to increase the permitted wall height up
to 8 feet adjacent to Kenyon Park related to the design review of 31 single-
family residences on the previously subdivided project site located
northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive; APN: 1089-011-04.
2) Approval of Minor Exception DRC2016-00256 is contingent upon Planning
Commission approval of Design Review DRC2016-00975 and Variance
DRC2016-00154.
3) All conditions related to Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 shall apply.
