A,B,C1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00975, DRC2016-00154 & DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 2 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. A,B,C2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00975, DRC2016-00154 & DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 3 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. A,B,C3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00975, DRC2016-00154 & DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 4 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. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00975, DRC2016-00154 & DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 5 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. A,B,C5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00975, DRC2016-00154 & DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 6 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 A,B,C6 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00975, DRC2016-00154 & DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 7 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.

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 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; and A, B, C 45 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-30 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2015-00976 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 2 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 May 11, 2016 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 corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive; APN: 1089-011-04. 2) Approval of Design Review DRC2015-00975 is contingent upon Planning Commission approval of Variance DRC2016-00154 and Minor Exception DRC2016-00256. 3) All conditions related to Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 shall apply. 4) All stucco shall have a 30/30 sand finish. 5) All decorative trim shall be wood or foam with a smooth or wood grained troweled finish.

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 A,B,C56 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-31 VARIANCE DRC2016-00154 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 2 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. A,B,C57 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-31 VARIANCE DRC2016-00154 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 3 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,B,C58 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-31 VARIANCE DRC2016-00154 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 4 Planning Department 1) Approval is for a Variance to reduce the required front setback from 20 feet to 10 feet and rear setback from 15 feet to 11 feet on Lot #19 and to reduce the required side yard setback from10 feet to 9.73 feet on Lot #31 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 Variance DRC2016-00165 is contingent upon Planning Commission approval of Design Review DRC2016-00975 and Minor Exception DRC2016-00256. 3) All conditions related to Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 shall apply. 4) Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with any sections of the Development Code, State Fire Marshal's regulations, Uniform Building Code, or any other City Ordinances. 6.

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 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 2 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 .: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-32 MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2016-00256 D.R. HORTON May 11, 2016 Page 3 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. 4) Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with any sections of the Development Code, State Fire Marshal's regulations, Uniform Building Code, or any other City Ordinances. 6.
