Staff responded by stating that the HOA is responsible for the maintenance of the trails but not the frees
because the trees are not part of the trails.
The Commission stated that they were fine with the issue being handled administratively and staff
should direct KB Home to contact the homeowners at Lots 1-16 to determine if the owners would allow
KB Home to plant the correct trees on their property before taking final action. Additionally, they stated
staff should work with KB Home to establish the process for doing this. The Commission also requested
a follow-up report on the outcome of this matter at a future Planning Commission meeting.

Chairman Guglielmo asked staff how the new facility will address the need for public safety facility in the City
and enhance the ability to provide services in that area of the City_
Deputy Fire Chief McCliman stated that the old fire station on San Bernardino Road was built in 1947 and is
outdated for today's needs. The change of location will decrease their response time by 30-45 seconds in
that area which consists of some neighborhoods that are difficult to access. Also, having the broader range
of services with both a fire station and police station at the same location will a positive service to the City.
Police Chief Donnie Mahoney also addressed the Commission and stated one of the benefits for the location
of the proposed new station would be the ability for citizens to come in during normal business (8:00am to
5:00pm) for services. The current police station at City Hall is at full capacity and the new proposed facility
will be the "Central Station" and this station will be called the "West End Station".

they discussed the status of key legislation results from election. He noted since Proposition 6 did not pass,
revenues earmarked for transportation will be continued to be distributed. He also noted that housing in the
state of California is an issue that will be coming up with the election of Newsome. He said that Governor -
elect Newsome has stated that he wants at least 3 Y2million new homes built in California by 2025, increasing
the number of new homes built annually from 100,000 to 378,000 which would be a challenge for cities
throughout the state. Some reasons why it will be challenging are the CEQA regulations which makes building
and development much more expensive and the resistance to building new housing coming from residents.
Cities who do not build could lose their autonomy to the State_

REPORT
DATE: November 28, 2018
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Candyce Burnett, City Planner
INITIATED BY: Perry Banner, Contract Planner
SUBJECT A Directors Report on a request by the Planning Commission to evaluate adding
the requirement for 3D renderings, 3D modeling and/or virtual tours for
proposed projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider the information that is presented and
provide policy direction on a new requirement for applicants/developers to submit 3D visualization
of a project with their applications by way of renderings and 3D modeling/animation for medlum-
and large-scale development projects that are proposed in the future.
BACKGROUND:
On October 24, 2018, the Planning Commission requested information and analysis on a new
policy that would require developers to provide three-dimensional renderings, modeling and/or
virtual tours for larger scale projects in order to assist with the Commission's visual understanding
of a proposed development. Staff was also directed to find the threshold for which size and scale
of projects should trigger the submittal of a 3D rendering and/or virtual tour.
Architectural visualization is the art of creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional images
showing the attributes of a proposed architectural design. Rapid advancements in 3D modeling
and 3D rendering technology is changing the way architects design in a way that wasn't possible
15 years ago. 3D rendering and architectural visualization software enable architects and
designers to evaluate "proportions" and "scales" using intuitive interactive 3D modelling and
simulate the effects of lighting, ventilation, and acoustics in internal environments.
3D artists today are getting so good at their craft that they are able to produce realistic 3D
renderings of buildings, giving clients an accurate 3D visualization of the proposed design. These
proposed architectural visualizations can represent anything the client desires from the scale,
textures, interior furnishings, etc. and are often represented together with "architectural scenes"
where everyday actions are being carried out.
What 3D visualization provides is an excellent understanding of the design concept. For the
architect and client, it reduces the amount of changes for a project before construction is started.
For local government, it reduces the uncertainty factor in a proposed building's appearance and
scale and allows the decision makers to get a feel for the layout and flow of the project to make a
more educated decision on the project design. Using 3D technologies makes plans, especially on

complicated projects, much easier to understand and navigate. The following is a sampling of 3D

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
REQUIRING 3D VISUALIZATION
November 28, 2018

Other examples of modeling can include virtual project "walk-throughs" and "fly-throughs" using
camera animation to give the 3D drawings direction and movement to allow the viewer the ability
to see what the overall impression of the architecture and site development will feel like to walk
through and "augmented reality" that uses real images and adds computer generated plans and
3D images to create an environment to see the finished project on an empty lot. As technology
continues to change, the options become limitless.
ANALYSIS:
Architectural visualization using 3D modeling and 3D rendering technology has become one of
the most important communication tools for architects and designers. It is a tool used to bridge
the gap in understanding between architects, clients, builders, and regulators (i.e. cities and local
jurisdictions). As local requirements adjust with the rapidly advancing technology, cities are
beginning to require 3D modeling as a standard component of a submittal package for a project
under development review. A short survey of neighboring cities identified the following:
Los Angeles 3D renderings required for development projects reviewed by the City Planning
Commission (CPC) and the Area Planning Commission (APC)
Ontario "Perspectives," which are similar to 3D renderings are required, otherwise the Director
can request any plans deemed necessary
Pasadena 3D renderings required for new projects under Design Review, generally enforced
more for projects reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Design Commission
Santa 3D renderings not explicitly required for development projects, but may be requested
Monica
Rancho 3D renderings not explicitly required but per Section 17.14.020 the Planning Director
ay require any plans, maps, and data deemed necessary to provide the approving
Cucamonga m
authority with adequate information to base their decision on.
What appears typical is that Planning and Community Development Departments either explicitly
require 3D renderings or routinely ask for them in the review of projects. What is also typical is
that 3D renderings are predominantly used as a presentation tool for Planning Commission,
Design Review Committee, and other similar committees. Projects reviewed at the staff level
typically do not require submittal of 3D renderings. What also appears to be clear is that cities
may require or ask for 3D renderings to visualize the exterior of a building, which is what is visible
from the public realm, but it is infrequent for cities to require a virtual tourlanimation of the building
interior.
Cost
The cost to produce a mid-level 3D rendering for a medium sized project is between $1,500-
$3,500 in the Southern California market. This would be to produce a model of the building
exterior. The cost varies depending on the level of detail. This is just for architectural still imaging.
Creating a virtual tour or animation of a building interior/exterior is generally priced on a cost per
second basis of the animation and could cost between $5,000410,000 depending on duration
and level of detailing.

Threshold
For a 3D rendering, Staff and the Planning Commission would be particularly interested in how it
would convey size and scale, building massing, site layout, roof articulation, architectural
detailing, and exterior finishes. These elements would demonstrate how a proposed project would
be compatible with an existing neighborhood and surrounding development, In Pasadena, any
project that requires Design Commission review requires a 3D model as part of the submittal
package. With some exceptions, Pasadena's thresholds are that structures over 25,000 sq. ft.
and/or residential projects consisting of 10 or more dwelling units require Design Commission
review, and therefore, 3D modeling (see Exhibit A — City of Pasadena Digital 3D Model Usage
Policy). The City of Adelaide, Australia uses a height threshold for determining when a 3D model
is required for a project. Any residential, commercial, mixed-use, or institutional development
three stories or higher requires 3D modeling regardless of density.
For the City of Rancho Cucamonga, potential basic guidelines are outlined below. The types of
projects subject to these requirements, the thresholds for the size/scale of the project that triggers
the requirements, and the timing of when the visualizations must be submitted will be further
refined:
Any application for a project that requires review by the Design Review Committee and/or review
and approval by the Planning Commission will be required to include 3D renderings for the
following projects:
• Mixed Use development;
• Multi -family development of 4 units (or more);
• Industrial development with one or more buildings of 100,000 square feet (or more) in floor
area;
• Commercial development on project sites of 3 acres or with buildings of 25,000 square
feet (or more) of gross floor area.
One (1) additional form of modeling will be required such as, virtual tour/fly-through, "augmented
reality', and 3D street perspective, for the following projects:
• Mixed Use development with buildings that are three stories and/or 35 feet (or more) in
height;
• Mixed Use development with a density of 25 dwelling units (or more) per acre;
• Multi -family development of 50 units (or more);
• Commercial development on project sites of 5 acres (or more); and
• Industrial development with one or more buildings of 500,000 square feet (or more) in floor
area.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon receiving input and direction from the Planning Commission, Staff will formalize a new policy
for requiring 3D modeling for certain projects for consideration by the Planning Commission and
add the requirement to the applicable checklists for development applications.

The city has obtained a digital 3D model of all buildings in the city as they existed
in 2008 The models were created using building footprint and height data to
create 3-dimensional buildings and digitally attaching photographs of each side
of the building to the 3-dimensional model.
One of the purposes of acquiring this model is to assist city planners in the
analysis of new development projects. Applications for new development
projects of citywide significance will require submittal of a digital 3D massing
model for this purpose. City planners will incorporate digital models submitted by
applicants into the surrounding context of digital models of existing buildings and
will create images and animations to present to decision -makers. In addition to
assisting planners with the review of new projects, the city's digital 3D model may
be made available to the public for viewing through online mapping applications.
The city intends to update its digital 3D model by replacing the models of
demolished buildings with the models of new buildings after they are constructed.
Digital 3D models of new buildings will be required to be submitted at various
stages in the city's review process and, upon completion of construction, will be
inserted into the overall city model.
SUBMITTAL AND RELEASE OF DIGITAL_ 3D MODEL
Digital 3D models submitted to the city should be massing models of the exterior
"shell" of the building and related architectural features and not detailed
engineering models of the building's structure or interior. Digital 3D model files of
projects that are in draft form (i.e., prior to completion of construction) will not be
released to any member of the public without permission from the project
applicant. Upon completion of construction, buildings are assumed to be an
element of the city's land fabric and, therefore, may be made available for public
viewing. When the model becomes part of city's land fabric, the model could be
released as part of the neighborhood context under the terms of the city's data
sharing agreement or as required under state of federal law.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I understand and will comply with the City's
3D Model Usage Policy.

INITIATED BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION DRC2018-00816 - GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC. -
A request to allow for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved
Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT17444) related to a 13 -unit condominium development
on 2.17 acres of land in the Low Medium (LM) Residential District (4 to 8 dwelling
units per acre) located on the west side of Archibald Avenue and 150 feet north of
Monte Vista Street - APNs: 0202-131-27, -61 and -62. On October 10 2007, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts was adopted by the
Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. The California
Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative
Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to the projects
within the scope of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a one (1) year Time Extension DRC2018-00816 through adoption of the
attached Resolution of Approval.
BACKGROUND:
On October 10, 2007, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 and
Design Review DRC2005-00250 for the subdivision and design review of a 2.17 -acre parcel of land for
the development of 13 detached condominiums. That approval included a related Zoning Map
Amendment (DRC2005-00523) to change the Zoning Designation from Medium (M) Residential to Low
Medium (LM) Residential, to bring the project site into conformance with the General Plan Land Use
Designation. The City Council approved the related Development District Amendment (DRC2005-
00523) on November 7, 2007.
The original Tentative Tract Map approval was for three (3) years, which calculates to an expiration
date of October 10, 2010; however, through a series of Assembly and Senate Bills, the State legislature
granted multiple time extensions for tentative maps throughout the State, which extended the approval
of the subject Tentative Tract Map to October 10, 2017. The Planning Commission approved a one (1)
year time extension of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17744 on November 8, 2017. The time extension
was requested in order to provide time for the City to complete an approved storm drain improvement
on 19th Street. The City storm drain system improvements will remove the project site from a Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone and eliminate a current Engineering Department
condition of approval requiring the construction of an enlarged on-site storm drain system to capture
the existing storm water runoff from the adjacent mobile home park. The City storm drain project was
originally scheduled to start in 2018 and has been delayed until 2019. The applicant is requesting a
second one (1) year time extension of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 in order to allow the City time
to complete the storm drain improvements on 19th Street, which is scheduled to go out to bid in 2019.

If the upstream storm drain improvements at 19th Street are not constructed as part of a capital
improvement project in 2019 because of unforeseen circumstances, including, but not limited to, funding
constraints or other capital improvement delays, the applicant will have two options: 1) pursue final map
recordation and construct the necessary storm drain improvements at the westerly edge of property to
intercept upstream flows (headwall, catch basin and 54" pipe) and convey these flows to a larger storm
drain under Archibald; or 2) apply for third time extension for an additional one (1) year and wait for the
City to complete the storm drain project at 19th Street. Per Title 16 (Subdivisions) of the City's Municipal
Code, Section 16.16.170 permits one-year time extensions not to exceed a total of 5 years. Following
this time extension request, if approved, the applicant has the opportunity to request up to 3, one-year
time extensions.
RELATED FILES:
The related Design Review entitlement (DRC2005-00250) was reviewed by the Grading and Technical
Review Committees on February 6, 2007 and by the Design Review Committee on July 3, 2007.
Approval of the related Design Review DRC2005-00250 was approved by the Planning Commission on
October 10, 2007 and expired on October 10, 2012. Subsequently, the applicant submitted a new
application for the Design Review of the 13 -unit condominiums (DRC2013-00583), which was reviewed
by the Design and Technical Review Committees on June 3, 2014 and was approved by the Planning
Commission on February 11, 2015. Design Review DRC2013-00583 will expire on February 11, 2020.

ANALYSIS:
A. Prior Approvals and Automatic Extensions: This Time Extension application is a request to extend
the approval period of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 for one (1) year, which will extend the
approval period to October 10, 2019. The original approval of SUBTT17444 was on
October 10, 2007, for a time period of three (3) years. The original expiration date was on
October 10, 2010. However, subsequent to approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444, the
State Legislature passed a series of Assembly/Senate Bills automatically extending the approval
period of various active tentative maps throughout the State. State Bill (SB) 1185 extended the
approval period one (1) year to October 10, 2011; Assembly Bill (AB) 333 extended the approval
period two (2) years to October 10, 2013; Assembly Bill (AB) 208 extended the approval period
two (2) years to October 10, 2015; and Assembly Bill (AB) 116 extended the approval period two
(2) years to October 10, 2017. The Planning Commission approved a one (1) year time extension
for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 on November 8, 2017, which extended the approval to
October 10, 2018. On October 4, 2018, the applicant filed a request for a one (1) year time
extension.

B. Map Extension: The Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code regulates the subdivision of land
through Title 16 of the City's Municipal Code. Chapter 16.16 is applicable specifically to Tentative
Maps (Five or More Parcels) and provides for time extension requests through Section 16.16.170
- Extensions. Section 16.16.170.A states: "The subdivider or his representative may request an
extension of the expiration date of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map by
written application to the community development department. The application shall be filed not
less than 60 days prior to the expiration date and shall state the reasons for requesting the
extension." The application to extend SUBTT17444 was submitted on October 4, 2018, and
includes a letter stating the reasons for requesting the extension (Exhibit C). While the applicant
did not meet the 60 -day submittal deadline, flexibility in the submittal deadline has been afforded
applicants in the past where the map extension request was submitted prior to the entitlement
expiration date and could be brought before the Planning Commission in a timely manner.
C. Conformance with Development Code: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 was designed to meet
or exceed all development standards applicable to subdivisions in the Low Medium (LM)
Residential District. Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 is for the subdivision of air space for
condominium purposes for the future sale of the 13 units approved for the project site. The
subdivision remains in conformance with development standards for the Low Medium (LM)
Residential District for multi -family developments.

D. Public Art: This subject Tentative Map Time Extension is exempt from providing public art as
outlined in Chapter 17.124 of the Development Code as the project was approved prior to the
approval of Ordinance No. 912 on July 19, 2017.
E. 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
October 10, 2007, in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444.
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 indicate 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 Time Extension DRC2018-00816 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. In
June of 2017, a biological resource update letter was submitted as part of the request for the
previous one (1) year time extension request. The June 2017 letter states that no native habitat
types occur on site and no federally listed species were observed or are expected to occur on the
project site due to lack of suitable native habitats, level of disturbance that has occurred to the
site, and development of surrounding lands. No direct or indirect impact to federal listed species
are anticipated from the project or the related Tentative Map Time Extension. The application is
for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved tentative tract map with no proposed
changes to the scope of the original approval. 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. 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 Time Extension DRC2018-00816.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared
with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the City's annual
share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent will also be responsible for
paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City
services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would
support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure, drainage infrastructure,
animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services.
COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to this application, the proposed map
extension for 13 unit condominium projects will enhance the 2018 City Council's goal of enhancing
premier community status by providing an opportunity for market rate for -sale housing product on a
2.17 acre infill parcel. With the time extension, the site retains the entitlement to construct for -sale
condominiums that will provide a transition of density and appropriate scale of residential development
from the single- family dwelling units to the south to the mobile home park located to the north and west.

Lastly, the time extension request is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the
objectives of the Development Code which will facilitate the development of the subject property with
residential uses consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Map.
CORRESPONDENCE:
This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular page legal advertisement in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners

To whom it may concern,
The intention of this letter is that we want to extend the Tentative Tract Map for Tract 17444 project.
We want to extend the Tentative Tract Map for another 12 months, because we are still waiting for the
City's storm drain construction.
The project of Tract 17444 is located on 6910 Archibald Ave. Rancho Cucamonga, CA. It consists of 13
unit detached dwellings. Last year, we were notified by the Engineering Department that the City would
have a big storm drain project on 19`h Street in 2018 spring. The new storm drain system will collect all
the water flows from 210 Freeway and discharge to the existing storm drain system. Thus, the 54" RCP
underneath our property will become useless. In order to discuss the detail of this storm drain issue, we
held a meeting with Albert Espinoza and Romeo David. The Engineering Department officials gave us a
suggestion that we could start our project following to the City storm drain project. According to the
Engineering official, there will be no surface water discharging to our property, after the City's storm
drain on 19`h Street is constructed. If we start the construction this year, the 54" RCP inside our property
will be abandoned in the future, and it leads to waste of resources. Therefore, we wanted to follow the
City's engineer suggestion, and postponed our project starting date. However, according to the
Engineering Department's recent update, the starting date of the City's Storm drain was delayed to 2019
spring due to the design issue. Thus, we have to postpone our project starting date as well. As the
project developer, we sincerely request a Tentative Tract Map extension for our project so that we can
start the construction in 2019.
Sincerely,
Golden Avenue Development, Inc.

SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION DRC2017-00755- GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT,
INC. - A request to allow for a one (1) year time extension of a previously
approved Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT17444) related to a 13 -unit condominium
development on 2.17 acres of land in the Low Medium (LM) District (4 to 8
dwelling units per acre) located on the west side of Archibald Avenue and 150
feet north of Monte Vista Street - APN: 0202-131-27, 61 and 62. On
October 10 2007, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts
was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT17444. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further
environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent
projects or minor revisions to the projects within the scope of the previous
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a one (1) year Time Extension DRC2017-
00755, through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval.
BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking a one (1) year time extension to a previously approved
tentative tract map (SUBTT17444) in order to allow the City to complete storm drain improvements on
19th Street. Storm water from 19th Street currently flows through the adjacent mobile home park and
across the project site to an inlet on Archibald Avenue. The storm drain system improvements will
eliminate the need fora current Engineering Department condition of approval requiring the construction
of an enlarged on-site storm drain system to capture the existing storm water runoff from the adjacent
mobile home park. The City storm drain project is scheduled to commence in early 2018.
On October 10, 2007, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 and
Design Review DRC2005-00250 for the subdivision and design review of a 2.17 -acre parcel of land for
condominium purposes for the development of 13 condominiums. That approval included a related
Development District Amendment (DRC2005-00523), to change the Development District Map from
Medium Residential to Low Medium Residential, to bring the site into conformance with the General
Plan land use designation. The Design Review and the related subdivision were reviewed by the
Grading and Technical Review Committees on February 6, 2007 and by the Design Review Committee
on July 3, 2007. The City Council approved the related Development District Amendment (DRC2005-
00523) on November 7, 2007.
Approval of Development Review DRC2005-00250 expired on October 10, 2012. Subsequently, the
applicant submitted a new application for the design review of the 13 units (DRC2013-00583), which
was reviewed by the Design and Technical Review Committees on June 3, 2014 and approved by the

B. Map Extension: The Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code regulates the subdivision of land
through Title 16, the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Section 16.16 is applicable specifically to
Tentative Maps (Five or More Parcels)-- and provides fortime extension requests through Section
16.16.170 Extensions. Section 16.16.170.A, states: "The subdivider or his representative may
request an extension of the expiration date of the approved or conditionally approved tentative
map by written application to the community development department. The application shall be
filed not less than 60 days prior to the expiration date and shall state the reasons for requesting
the extension." The application to extend SUBTT17444 was submitted on September 19, 2017,
and includes a letter stating the reasons for requesting the extension (Exhibit C). While the
applicant did not meet the 60 day submittal deadline, flexibility in the submittal deadline has been
afforded applicants in the past where the map extension request was submitted prior to the
entitlement expiration date and could be brought before the Planning Commission in a timely
manner.
C. Conformance with Development Code: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 was designed to meet
or exceed all development standards applicable to subdivisions in the Low Medium (LM) District.
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 is for the subdivision of air space for condominium purposes
for the future sale of the 13 units approved for the project site. The subdivision remains in
conformance with Development standards for the Low Medium (LM) District for multi -family
developments.
D. Biological Survey Update: A biological resource update letter (Recon; June 7, 2017) was
submitted as part of the request for the time extension. The letter verifies that no native habitat
types occur on-site and no federally listed species were observed or are expected to occur on the
project site due to lack of suitable native habitats, level of disturbance that has occurred to the site
and development of surrounding lands. No direct or indirect impact to federal listed species are
anticipated from the project or the related tentative map time extension.
E. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQK) and
the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on October
10, 2007 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. 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 indicate 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 Time
Extension DRC2017-00755 and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the

Tentative Tract Map Extension Request Letter
Golden Avenue Development, Inc
10 Elk Grove Ln.
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
September 14, 2017
Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department
10500 Civic Center Dr.
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
To whom it may concern,
The intention of this letter is that we want to extend the Tentative Tract Map for Tract 17444 project.
We want to extend the Tentative Tract Map for 16 months, because we are still working on the final
map process. The project of Tract 17444 is located on 6910 Archibald Ave. Rancho Cucamonga, CA. It
consists of 13 unit detached dwellings. Due to the elevation, all the water flows coming from 210
Freeway drains through our property and discharge to the City's storm drain on Archibald. Because of
the huge amount of water flow, we originally proposed to construct a 54" Reinforced Concrete Pipe
collecting the surface flows from our neighbor, Chaparral Height Mobile Home Park, and discharge to
the City's storm drain system. We submitted our plan sets to the City last year, and our house plans
were approved by the Building Department in mid -2016. At the end of 2016, our plan checker from the
Engineering Department, Willie Valbuena, retired. As a result, our plans were held by the Engineering
Department for a couple months. Therefore, we requested an extension for our plan check process from
the Building Department, and the City granted us a one-year extension.
Recently, we were notified by the Engineering Department that the City will have a big storm drain
project on 19th Street in 2018 spring. The new storm drain system will collect all the water flows from
210 Freeway and discharge to the existing storm drain system. Thus, the 54" RCP underneath our
property will become useless. In order to discuss the detail of this storm drain issue, we held a meeting
with Albert Espinoza and Romeo David. The Engineering Department officials gave us a suggestion that
we could start our project in September 2018, once the City storm drain is completed. According to the
Engineering official, there will be no surface water discharging to our property, after the City's storm
drain on 19th Street is constructed. If we start the construction this year, the 54" RCP inside our property
will be abandoned in the future, and it leads to waste of resources. Therefore, we want to follow the
City's engineer suggestion, and postpone our project starting date. As the project developer, we
sincerely request a Tentative Tract Map extension for our project so that we can start the construction
in September 2018.
Sincerely,
Golden Avenue Development, Inc.

Reference: Federal Emergency Management Agency Letter for Mountain View Estates:
Required Background Information for Issuance of CLOMR-F (RECON Number 877 7)
Dear Mr. Liu
This letter provides the background information needed by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to
make a "no take" determination as part of the Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR-F) for the Mountain
View Estates project. The project applicant is proposing to alter a portion of the current FEND -delineated 100 -
year floodplain. Information contained in this letter demonstrates how the Mountain View Estates project would
not affect any listed species covered under the federal Endangered Species Act.
The 2.6 -acre project site is located in the city of Rancho Cucamonga approximately S miles north of Interstate 10
and 8 miles west of Interstate 15 (Figure 1). Specifically, the site occurs to the west of Archibald Avenue, north of
Monte Vista Street, and east of East Street (Figure 2). The project site includes Assessor's Parcel Numbers 0202-
131-27, 0202-131-61, and 0202-131-62
Biological Resource Evaluation Methods
EILAR Associates Environmental and Acoustical Consulting biologists conducted a general biological survey on
the project site in June 2005. The biological resource survey identified one land cover type on the site:
"Landscaped and Exotic". No native habitat types occur on-site.
Federal listed species with the potential to occur on-site were evaluated based on habitat present on the project
site. The information provided on habitat was used to make determinations on the likelihood of any federal listed
species to be directly or indirectly affected by the project. A search of the California Natural Diversity Database
was conducted to find known observations of federal listed species either on the project site or in its vicinity
(Attachment 1). The potential for these listed species to occur on the project site was then further evaluated using
the information on habitat preferences and ecological conditions preferred by each species.
No federal listed species were observed or are expected,to occur on the project site due to the lack of any suitable
native habitats, level of disturbance that has occurred to the site, and development of surrounding lands. No
direct or indirect impacts to federal listed species are anticipated from the project. There is no critical habitat for
any federal listed species designated on the project site.
Effects on Federal Listed Species
Federal listed plant and wildlife species with the potential for occurrence on the Mountain View Estates project
site were evaluated for presence/absence and for any anticipated direct or indirect impacts on these species. The
project site lacks suitable habitat for any of the listed species with the potential for occurrence on-site. Therefore.
no direct or indirect impacts to any federal listed species are anticipated from the project.
Sincerely,
lremorL ry Sc ei Biologist

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Project Density: 6 dwelling units per acre
B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Mobile Home Park/ Low -Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
South - Single -Family Residential/Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
East - Multi -Family Residential/Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
West - Mobile Home Park/ Low -Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
C. General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Low -Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
North - Low Residential (2-4) dwelling units per acre)
South - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
East - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
W est - Low -Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
D. Site Characteristics: The 2.17 acre site is comprised of three parcels and slopes gently to the
southeast. The site will share access with the mobile home park that borders the site to the
north and west. The site contains 45 trees of various species and the remnants of a
stone -lined drainage channel. The mobile home park has an open storm drain which
currently surface drains across the site and enters the public storm drain system at the
southern property line of the site.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant proposes constructing 13 detached condominiums on 2.17 acres of
vacant land. The proposed density is 6 dwelling units per acre which is in the middle of the
Low -Medium Residential range of 4-8 dwelling units per acre. The project consists of three
floor plans ranging in size from 1,705 to 2,113 square feet. Models A and B are two-story
units with two elevations per floor plan; Model C is a single -story unit. The site will share
ingress and egress with the mobile home park that abuts the project to the north and west. A
new traffic signal will be constructed to aide access to both the project site and to the mobile
home park.
The project was designed to conform to the development requirements outlined in the
Development Code for the Low -Medium Residential District. The Development Code does
not give specific development criteria for condominium projects within the Low -Medium
Residential District. This in turn, makes it difficult for the project to meet the setback
requirements that are measured from the property lines when a condominium project, by its
nature, does not have internal property lines. To overcome the issue, the applicant was
directed by staff to meet the intent of the Development Code. This was accomplished by the
project meeting the required side and rear setback as measured from the 6 -foot high block
walls surrounding the private yard areas of each unit. The overall project meets the front yard
setback from Archibald Avenue. To overcome the reduced front yard setback for the
individual units, the applicant was required to double the required on-site guest parking
spaces. Each unit also includes two private enclosed parking spaces. The project exceeds

the Private, Common and Usable Open Space area requirements. The project also includes
a large open grass play area, a tot lot and barbecue facilities to meet the Recreation Facility
requirement.
B. Tentative Tract Mar) SUBTT17444: Concurrent with the Development Review application is
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. The tract map proposes the subdivision of air space for
residential condominium purposes, which will allow individual ownership of the homes and
common ownership of the open space, parking, driveways, and landscaped areas.
C. Development District Amendment DRC2005-00523: The General Plan land use designation
for the subject site is Low -Medium Residential. The Development District Map designation for
the site is Medium Residential. The applicant has requested that the site be developed under
the Low -Medium zoning designation. In order to bring the Development District Map into
conformance with the General Plan, the applicant has applied for a Development District
Amendment. This change will give the site the same Development District designation as the
mobile home park which the site shares ingress and egress and abuts on two sides.
D. Minor Exception DRC2005-00522: The project includes an application for a Minor Exception
to allow a 7 -foot high perimeter wall along Archibald Avenue. The project site is within an
area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Exhibit V-13. An
acoustical analysis of the project site was completed and concluded that with a 7 -foot high
perimeter wall along Archibald Avenue, the project would comply with the City's exterior
residential noise standards of 60 dBA. The Planning Director will consider the approval of the
Minor Exception following the Planning Commission's action on the related project
applications.
E. Tree Removal Permit DRC2005-00521: The applicant has submitted a request to remove
45 trees in order to accommodate the development of the site. An Arborist Report was
prepared on May 17, 2005 which surveyed the site and found a total of 45 trees that qualify
as Heritage Trees under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Of those trees, all but
6 trees have been recommended for removal because of their poor condition. The report
recommends preserving 6 trees if they can be incorporated into the landscape design for the
project. The Development Code requires that new developments plant 40 trees per acre of
which 90 -percent must be 15 -gallon size trees and 10 -percent must be 24 -inch box size
trees. To overcome the removal of the majority of mature trees on the site, the applicant will
be required to plant 100 percent 24 -inch box size trees to meet the Development Code tree
planting requirement.
Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(McPhail, Stewart, Diaz) on February 6, 2007. At the meeting, the Committee members were
concerned about insufficient guest parking and the aspects of the design of the homes. The
applicant redesigned the project and the Committee reviewed the revised plans on
July 3, 2007. Staff presented the revised drawings which satisfied all issues identified bythe
Committee (Munoz, Stewart, Diaz) at which time they recommended approval.
G. Grading Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Grading Committee on
February 6, 2007, and the preliminary Grading Plan for the project was conceptually
approved.

H. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on
January 6, 2007. The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to conditions
contained in the attached Resolutions of Approval.
Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")
and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential
environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City
staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related to air quality,
biological resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality and noise, there would
be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the
environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared.
Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent
to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the
project.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on August 11, 2006, to
discuss the proposed project. Property owners within 300 feet were notified of the meeting and
approximately 53 neighbors attended. Those in attendance did not raise any issues regarding the
project and a number stated that they felt that the project would be a positive addition to the
neighborhood.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within
a 660 -foot radius of the project site. Staff required the applicant to post a large 4 -foot by 8 -foot
Notice of Filing sign on the property, which was also used to post the City's public hearing notice.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract
Map SUBTT17444, Development Review DRC2005-00250, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2005-
00521 through the adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with conditions and issuance
of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff further recommends the approval of Development
District Amendment DRC2005-00523 to be forwarded to the City Council for final action.

application, the Planning Commission finds thatthere is no substantial evidence that the projectwill have a
significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring
Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project.
Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition of
mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant
effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared.
Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before
it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii) that,
based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have
a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these
findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation
measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore adopts the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project.

permits, whichever occurs first. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMB) shall be
issued by FEMA, prior to occupancy or improvement acceptance, whichever
occurs first.
a) If the Federal Emergency Management Agency is unwilling to revise the
Flood Insurance Rate Map, elevation certificates shall be provided for
lots within the flood zone.
6) Lot 6 finish floor is lower than the adjacent drive aisle top -of -curb (to the
north), located east of the proposed storm drain inlet headwall. This may
direct overflow toward Lot 6 and this could be a potential flooding problem
should the inlet become blocked.
a) In accordance with Building and Safety typical lot grading, finish floor
elevation should be set no less than 2 percent from the highest
adjacent top of street curb plus one-half foot (check with Building and
Safety Department).

MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: DRC2005-00523, SUBTT17444, DRC2005-00250, AND DRC2005-00522
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the (Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Impact Report) for the
above -listed project. This program has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that
adopted mitigation measures are implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staff's is needed, as
determined by the project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written
notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached
hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division. The Division shall require
the applicant to post any necessaryfunds (or other forms of guarantee) with the City. These
funds shall be used bythe City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and
report on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
9. In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring
results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether
the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall
conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or
City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits.

FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-

Page 2
a. The application applies to a 2.17 acre parcel -of land located the west side of
Archibald Avenue and 150 feet north of Monte Vista Street; and
b. The property is within the Low Medium (LM) District (4 to 8 dwelling units per
acre). To the north and west is a mobile home park (Chaparral Heights) in the Low Medium (LM)
District (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre); to the east is single-family development in the Low Medium
District (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre); and, to the south is single-family development in the
Medium (M) District (8 to 14 dwelling units per acre); and
C. The subdivision of the project site conforms to all applicable development
standards of the Development Code for the Low Medium (LM) District; and
d. This application is a request to extend the approval period of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT17444 for one (1) additional year. The time extension is necessary to allow time for the
completion of a City sponsored storm drain project that will eliminate an Engineering Department
requirement to construct an enlarged on-site storm drain system to carry storm water from the
west and north of the project site.
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 previously approved tentative tract map is consistent with the City's current
General Plan, specific plans, Ordinances, plans, codes, and policies. The proposed project is for
the subdivision of 2.17 acres of land for condominium purposes for the construction of a 13 -unit
multi -family development. The project site is within the Low Medium (LM) District which permits
the construction of multi -family development; and
b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed
subdivision. The project site is surrounded by residential development of similar or greater
intensity and is well suited for the proposed development; and
C. The proposed subdivision, 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. An initial study was prepared for the original project that was
approved by the Planning Commission on October 10, 2017, along with a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, which reviewed potential environmental impacts created by the construction and
operation of 13 multi -family units on the project site. Mitigation measures were included in the
original approval reducing any potential impact to less than significant. A biological resource
update letter (Recon; June 7, 2017) was submitted as part of the request for the time extension.
The letter verifies that no native habitat types occur on-site and no federally listed species were
observed or are expected to occur on the project site due to lack of suitable native habitats, level
of disturbance that has occurred to the site and development of surrounding lands; and
d. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed subdivision complies all development standards outlined in
the Development Code for multi -family projects within the Low Medium (LM) District; and
e. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local
ordinance. State law allows for one (1) year tipr_p4g5sions.

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 October 10, 2007
in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. 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 indicate 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 Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT17444, 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 biological resource update letter dated June
7, 2017, concludes that no direct or indirect impact to federal listed species are anticipated from
the project or the related tentative map time extension. The application is for a one (1) year time
extension of a previously approved tentative tract map with no proposed changes to the scope of
the original approval. 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.
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 Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above,
this Commission hereby grants a time extension. The new expiration date for Tentative Tract
Map SUBTT17444 is October 10, 2018.
6. All applicable Conditions of Approval in Resolution No. 07-59 and incorporated
Standard Conditions in Resolution 07-59 for SUBTT17444 shall apply to Time Extension
DRC2017-00755, except for Engineering Department Condition of Approval 5a, which is no longer
applicable and the addition of the following Condition of Approval: If the applicant for this project

2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced public hearing on November 28, 2018, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 2.17 -acre parcel of land located on the west side of
Archibald Avenue and 150 feet north of Monte Vista Street; and
b. The property is within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District (4 to 8 dwelling
units per acre). To the north and west is a mobile home park (Chaparral Heights) in the Low
Medium (LM) Residential District (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre); to the east is a single-family
development in the Low Medium (LM) Residential District (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre); and, to
the south is single-family development in the Medium (M) Residential District (8 to 14 dwelling
units per acre); and
C. The subdivision of the project site conforms to all applicable development
standards of the Development Code for the Low Medium (LM) Residential District; and
d. This application is a request to extend the approval period of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT17444 for one (1) additional year. The time extension is necessary to allow time for the
completion of a City sponsored storm drain project, which will remove the project site from a
Federal Emergency Management Agency flood zone and eliminate an Engineering Department
condition of approval to construct an enlarged on-site storm drain system to carry storm water
from the west and north of the project site.
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 previously approved Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the City's current
General Plan, Municipal Code, ordinances, plans, codes, and policies. The proposed project is
for the subdivision of 2.17 acres of land for condominium purposes for the construction of a 13 -
unit multi -family development. The project site is within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District
which permits the development of multi -family projects with a density of 4 to 8 dwelling units per
acre. The approved 13 -unit multi -family development on the project site has a density of
approximately 6 dwelling units per acres; and
b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed
subdivision. The project site is surrounded by residential development of similar or greater
intensity and is well-suited for the proposed development. The project site has access to a public
street and all public utilities are located adjacent to the project site; and
C. The proposed subdivision, 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. An initial study was prepared for the original project that was
approved by the Planning Commission on October 10, 2007, along with a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, which reviewed potential environmental impacts created by the construction and
operation of 13 -unit multi -family development on the project site. Mitigation measures were
included in the original approval reducing any potential impacts to less than significant; and

d. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed subdivision complies with all development standards outlined
in the Development Code for multi -family projects within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District
including density, setbacks and design; and
e. The time extension is within the time limits established by State law and local
ordinance. State law allows for one (1) year time extensions.
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 October 10, 2007,
in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. 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 indicate 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 Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT17444, 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. In June of 2017. a biological resource update letter
was submitted as part of the request for the previous one (1) year time extension request. The
June 2017 letter states that no native habitat types occur on-site, and no federally listed species
were observed or are expected to occur on the project site due to lack of suitable native habitats,
level of disturbance that has occurred to the site, and development of surrounding lands. No direct
or indirect impact to federal listed species are anticipated from the project or the related tentative
map time extension. The application is for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved
Tentative Tract Map with no proposed changes to the scope of the original approval. 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.
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 Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above,
this Commission hereby grants a time extension. The new expiration date for Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT17444 is October 10, 2019.
