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:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917—CASTILLO
August 8, 2018
Page 3
a. That the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans. The application proposes to subdivide the 7.17 acre project
site into 10 parcels for future single-family residential development. The underlying General Plan
designation is Very Low (VL) Residential; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General
Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The project site is vacant and the
proposed land use is consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where the project is located
and the expectations of the community. The zoning of the property is Very Low (VL) Residential
District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The 7.17
acre project site is adjacent to existing residential land uses to the north and east and will obtain
access through the continuation of the existing street network through the extension of Wilshire
Drive and Copley Drive; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project is for
the subdivision of the 7.17 acre site into 10 lots for future residential development. No homes are
proposed in conjunction with this tentative tract map. Mitigation measures described in the Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) will be implemented during the construction and
operation of the project; and
e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
proposed subdivision was designed to meet all applicable development standards outlined in the
Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the design and development standards and
policies of the Planning Commission; and
f. The design of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired by
the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. There are no public easements across 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, City staff prepared an Initial Study (IS) of the potential environmental
effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that IS, City staff determined that, with
the imposition of mitigation measures related to Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality,
Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions,
Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources 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 (MND) was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff
provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The City received comments from the San Bernardino County Department
of Public Works (SBCDPW) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Both
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917—CASTILLO
August 8, 2018
Page 4
agencies raised questions that required further environmental study, and the revision and
recirculation of the IS/MND. The IS/MND was revised significantly as requested and now also
includes revised discussion and additional mitigations related to noise impacts. The IS/MND was
recirculated. No additional comments have been received in response to this recirculated
environmental document; 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 Manager 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.
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 Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

Biological Resources
1) Within 30 days prior to the initiation of groundbreaking activity,
perform a focused trapping survey for the San Bernardino kangaroo
rat (SBKR) following the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) protocol. The SBKR focused trapping survey shall be
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917— CASTILLO
August 8, 2018
Page 7
conducted by a permitted biologist, and the USFWS shall be
consulted for incidental take permitting if SBKR are found on-site.
2) Three days prior to the removal of vegetation or ground-disturbing
activities, a breeding bird survey that is in conformance with the
Migratory Bird Act shall be required to determine whether nesting is
occurring. Occupied nests shall not be disturbed unless a qualified
biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either (a) the
adult birds have not begun egg-laying or incubation; or (b) the
juveniles from the occupied nests are foraging independently and are
capable of independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one
of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300
feet of non-raptor nests, and within 5,000 feet of raptor nests, during
the breeding season to avoid abandonment of the young.
If nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the
establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a
qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary"no construction" area shall
be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined
by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and
all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the
area may resume.
3) Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl
Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning
Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity. The survey
shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The
Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol:
• Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on
Appendix D (Breeding and Non-Breeding Season Surveys and
Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre-
construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If
the pre-construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on
the project site, then no further mitigation is required. If
burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during
the pre-construction survey, measures shall be developed by
the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid
Impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These
measures shall be based on the most current CDFW protocols
and will at minimum include establishment of buffer setbacks
from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground-disturbing
activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after
the pre-construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for
owls.
• During the non-breeding season from September 1 through
January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non-
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917— CASTILLO
August 8, 2018
Page 8
migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre-construction
survey, burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to
exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or
closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist
in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW
guidelines.
• During the avian nesting season from February 1 through
August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall be avoided
through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as
determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no
construction" area would have to be maintained until the nest
has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife
biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have
fledged and have left the nest, construction in the area may
resume.
4) A qualified biologist shall monitor clearing and grubbing activities as
they impact vegetation onsite. A qualified biologist shall inspect
debris piles, pipes, burrows, vegetation, leaf litter piles, and other
potential refugia for sensitive wildlife species prior to initiation of
clearing, grubbing, grading, or any other Project activity that may
injure or kill sensitive wildlife species. If wildlife is discovered, the
qualified biologist shall move it out of harm's way or allow it to move
safely out of the work area prior to initiation of Project activities.
Potential day roosts for pallid bat(e.g., caves, crevices, mines, hollow
trees, buildings, etc.) shall be inspected by a qualified bat biologist
prior to initial ground disturbance. If bats are roosting, a bat exclusion
plan shall be prepared and submitted to CDFW for review prior to
impacts. If a colony is discovered during the breeding season (March-
October), the biologist shall determine appropriate avoidance
measures, including, but not limited to sound walls, buffers, and
Project phasing/timing to prevent disturbance to the colony until all
young are weaned and capable of foraging independently.
Cultural Resources
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to
protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the
archaeologist, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917— CASTILLO
August 8, 2018
Page 9
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of
the area.
• Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2
Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project
effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric
resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological
sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a
park or green space or paying an in-kind mitigation fee.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting
the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures
(i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but
not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the
site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery,
the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and
notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.

Interior
House product is not proposed at this time as the applicant only proposes
to subdivide the project site for future residential development. An analysis
of interior noise levels generated by external sources will be required with
any proposal to construct all 10 houses within the project or with any
proposal to construct each house within the project (e.g., proposals for
single-lot development that are submitted individually). This noise analysis
will be required to determine and discuss the mitigation measures
necessary to attenuate, control, and maintain interior noise levels to 45
CNEL or less. Once these mitigation measures have been determined, the
project proponent for the house product will be required to implement them.
3) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction-related
noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and
approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction
equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated
during construction.
4) During all project site excavation and grading, the project contractors
shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly
operating and maintained mufflers consistent with the manufacturers'
standards.
5) The project contractor shall place all stationary construction
equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive
receptors nearest the project site.
6) The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas
that will create the greatest distance between construction-related
noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site
during all project construction.
7) The construction contractor shall obtain the City's approval for its haul
plan, with the planned haul truck routes avoiding residential areas to
the extent feasible.

8) The construction contractor shall change the timing and/or sequence
of the noisiest construction operations to avoid sensitive times of the
day.
9) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of
8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any
time on Sunday or a national holiday.
10) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards
specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at
the property line. Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly
noise level monitoring as specified in Development Code Section
17.66.050. Monitoring at other times may be required by the Building
Official. Said consultant shall report their findings to the Building
Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the above
standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Building
Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction
activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with
above noise standards or halted.
11) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of
8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any
time on Sunday or a national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks
used for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and
from the construction site), then the developer shall prepare a noise
mitigation plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes and
include appropriate noise mitigation measures.To the extent feasible,
the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses
or residential dwellings.
Tribal Cultural Resources
1) The applicant shall contact the SMBMI to discuss Tribal Monitoring of
the project during all ground disturbing activities, and any trenching
below the initial grade level, to ensure that cultural resources that may
be encountered during ground disturbances are protected and
preserved for study. The monitor(s) must be approved by the Tribal
Representatives and will be present on-site during ground disturbing
activities. The Native American Monitor(s) will complete monitoring
logs on a daily basis. The logs will provide descriptions of the daily
activities, including construction activities, locations, soil, and any
cultural materials identified. In addition,the monitor(s)will be required
to provide insurance certificates, including liability insurance, for any
archaeological resource(s) encountered during grading and
excavation activities pertinent to the provisions outlined in the
California Environmental Quality Act, California Public Resources
Code Division 13, and Section 21083.2 (a) through (k). The on-site
monitoring shall end when the project site grading and excavation
activities are completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and
monitor have indicated that the site has a low potential for
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917— CASTILLO

Page 16
archeological resources. The applicant shall submit the results of
these consultations to the City prior to issuance of grading permits for
the project site.
2) In the event that human remains or funerary objects are encountered
during any activities associated with the project, work in the
immediate vicinity(within a 100-foot buffer of the find)shall cease and
the County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and
Safety Code§7050.5,and that code shall be enforced for the duration
of the project.
Prior to the start of ground disturbing activities, the land owner shall
arrange a designated site location within the footprint of the project
for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or ceremonial
objects. Any discoveries of human skeletal material shall be
immediately reported to the County Coroner. The monitor will then
notify the Qualified Archaeologist and the construction manager who
will call the coroner. Work will continue to be diverted while the
coroner determines whether the remains are Native American. The
discovery is to be kept confidential and secure to prevent any further
disturbance. If Native American, the coroner will notify the NAHC as
mandated by state law who will then appoint a Most Likely
Descendent. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be
fully documented and recovered on the same day, the remains will be
covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can be moved by
heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the
remains. If this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard
should be posted outside of working hours. The Tribe(s) will make
every effort to recommend diverting the project and keeping the
remains in situ and protected. If the project cannot be diverted, it may
be determined that burials will be removed. The Tribe(s) will work
closely with the Qualified Archaeologist to ensure that the excavation
is treated carefully, ethically, and respectfully. If data recovery is
approved by the Tribe(s), documentation shall be taken which
includes at a minimum detailed descriptive notes and sketches.
Additional types of documentation shall be approved by the Tribe(s)
for data recovery purposes. Cremations will either be removed in bulk
or by means as necessary to ensure completely recovery of all
material. If the discovery of human remains includes 4 or more
burials, the location is considered a cemetery and a separate
treatment plan shall be created. The project applicant shall consult
with the Tribe(s) regarding avoidance of all cemetery sites. Once
complete, a final report of all activities are to be submitted to the
NAHC. The Tribe(s) do NOT authorize any scientific study or the
utilization of any invasive diagnostics on human remains.
3) In the event that Native American cultural resources are discovered
during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find
(within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist
meeting Secretary of Interior standards, shall be hired to assess the
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-48
SUBTT19917—CASTILLO
August 8, 2018
Page 17
find. Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered
area may continue during this assessment period. The archaeologist
shall contact the SMBMI for input regarding the preservation,
retention and final disposition of any discovered cultural resources.
The archaeologist shall prepare a mitigation plan and technical
resources management report, which shall document the inventory,
evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project
area.Additionally, the SMBMI will be contacted if any such find occurs
and be provided information and permitted/invited to perform a site
visit when the archaeologist makes his/her assessment, so as to
provide Tribal input.
All archaeological resources unearthed by project construction
activities shall be evaluated by the Qualified Archaeologist and Native
Monitor. If the resources are Native American in origin, the Tribe(s)
shall coordinate with the landowner regarding treatment and curation
of these resources. Typically, the Tribe(s) will request reburial or
preservation for educational purposes. If a resource is determined by
the Qualified Archaeologist to constitute a "historical resource"
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a) or has a "unique
archaeological resource"pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21083.2(g), the Qualified Archaeologist shall coordinate with the
applicant and the City to develop a formal treatment plan that would
serve to reduce impacts to the resources. The treatment plan
established for the resources shall be in accordance with CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.5(f) for historical resources and Public
Resources Code Sections 21083.2(b) for unique archaeological
resources. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred
manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment
may include implementation of archaeological data recovery
excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory
processing and analysis. Any historic archaeological material that is
not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit
institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the San
Bernardino County Museum, if such an institution agrees to accept
the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, they
shall be donated to a local school or historical society in the area for
educational purposes.
4) In the event that significant Native American historical resources, as
defined by CEQA(as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance
cannot be ensured, an SOI-qualified archaeologist shall be retained
to develop a cultural resources Treatment Plan, as well as a
Discovery and Monitoring Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided
to the SMBMI for review and comment.
All in-field investigations, assessments, and/or data recovery enacted
pursuant to the finalized Treatment Plan shall be monitored by a
SMBMI Tribal Participant(s).

The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with
the SMBMI on the disposition and treatment of any artifacts or other
cultural materials encountered during the project.
5) Non-Native American artifacts shall be inventoried, assessed, and
analyzed for cultural affiliation, personal affiliation (prior ownership),
function, and temporal placement. Subsequent to analysis and
reporting, these artifacts shall be subjected to curation or returned to
the Property Owner/Developer, as deemed appropriate.
Once ground-altering activities have ceased or the Project
Archaeologist determines that monitoring activities are no longer
necessary, monitoring activities may be discontinued following
notification to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Department.
