PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2014-00252 - JOE RAMOS FOR SOHEILA AZIZI-A request for a Planning Commission Workshop review of a conceptual site plan and elevations for a 2-story office building with a floor area of 8,492 square feet on the undeveloped portion of a property of 1.25 acres that is partially developed with a 2-story office building with a floor area of 4,008 square feet and Itpm R-1 1 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES �►xcao JUNE 111 2014 l: CA Page 2 several smaller structures with a combined floor area of 1,830 square feet in the Commercial Office (CO) District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay District, at 10213 Foothill Boulevard; APN: 0208-331-07. Mike Smith, Associate Planner, introduced the applicant's team consisting of Soheila Azizi, property owner, Joe Ramos, Architect. (arrived at 7:35 PM) and Irena Wedell, Project Manager. He provided a full size site plan and an aerial view map (copy on file). He said the majority of the proposed changes occur on the south side of the project site including the demolition of an existing garage. He said no other existing buildings will be altered and no additional access to the site will be provided. He said additional landscaping will be added to the south side of the site. The building architecture will be matching the existing with stucco walls and Spanish style roof. He noted the landmarked structure will not be affected. He said the parking provided is not currently in conformance with the Development Code. All other development standards are met. Irena Wedel, Project Manager said one building will be constructed for an office use. With respect to parking, 8 tandem spots have been provided. She said they are proposing to remove the pool and add a gathering space and landscaping. She noted the height requirements are in compliance because the building is more than 100 feet from the nearest residential zone. She said the architecture with an arch theme is being followed. She said the removal of the old trees to the east needs to be addressed. She said Staff's report did not include comments from Fire or Police. She said she is concerned because the site does not have sufficient turn around for emergency equipment and she does not want to proceed without their input. Mr. Smith stated they will provide comments after a full application is submitted. He said he would Contact Moises Exkanazi. In response to Vice Chairman Fletcher, Ms. Wedel said the old trees are Oaks. Chairman Howdyshell asked if they are historic. Mr. Smith confirmed that this is an issue to be addressed as part of a formal submittal. He said they will need a cultural assessment report and an arborist report and a review of the biological resources. He confirmed all the studies listed in the report are necessary and others may be added following a review of their full submittal. In response to Vice Chairman Fletcher, he confirmed the plan includes the notion to remove the trees and replace them with new ones. Ms. Weddel asked if improvements on Foothill Boulevard.will be required specifically providing a sidewalk when none is there now. Itam R_7 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES CAH° JUNE 11, 2014 `SON`% Page 3 Betty Miller, Senior Engineer said this is still undetermined. She noted that as part of Phase 3 they were supposed to do that and so it will have to be discussed as part of the technical review. Mr. Smith confirmed that complete plans will be needed when they do their full submittal. Ms. Azizi asked if this is the time to propose the front building as a commercial building. Candyce Burnett, Planning Manager stated that a change of occupancy could be looked at the same time as well as a review of the original application and Mills Act contract. She said they may need a Certificate of Appropriateness because of the historic building at the front. She noted that the list of items shown in a Mills Act Contract is often not completed as more pressing maintenance items arise over the course of time. Mr. Smith said that if the residential structures are to be office or commercial uses, based on the floor area of the buildings and a parking ratio of 1 parking stall per 250 square feet • of floor area, they would need at least 2 parking stalls per building. He stated the parking arrangement shown on the conceptual plan is not permitted. Chairman Howdyshell stressed the importance of maintaining the historical nature of the property. Ms. Azizi noted there are 4 units and the property manager lives in one of them. She said one is currently vacant. Chairman Howdyshe/l noted that the architectural interpretation looks like it would blend with the existing.and that the development would enhance the Foothill corridor. Mr. Ramos said the development buffers the southern portion of the property and adds enhanced landscaped areas. He said the h design is compatible and the arch theme is included in the existing structures and it is also compatible with what exists across the street. He said the proposal is more about quality of the site rather than maximizing income potential. Vice Chairman Fletcher said with respect to tearing down the residences; we dont know enough about the history of the property and that would have to be looked at. In response to Commissioner Munoz, Mr. Smith said the project will have to do certain improvements be in compliance with the Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan. • Ms. Miller noted that if the houses are taken down then full improvements would have to be done but that would have to be evaluated. Ms. Azizi noted that her prior experience with City staff was very pleasant and that she Item B-3 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES u�Ho JUNE 119 2014 ON`�' Page 4 looked forward to again working with the City.

Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Storage Yard —General Industrial South - Rail Line— Heavy Industrial East - Non-Conforming SFR — Heavy Industrial i West - Storage Yard— Heavy Industrial B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Heavy Industrial North - General Industrial South - Heavy Industrial East - Heavy Industrial West - Heavy Industrial C. Background: On March 28, 2012, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00254 and Development Review DRC2011-00255 for site improvements and the operation of a ferrous metal recycling facility. The applicant proposes expanding their existing recycling operation by adding a 10,224 square foot office building and a 10,500 square foot warehouse on a 2.44-acre site directly to the west of their existing operation. I I i Item C-131 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2013-00833 AND DRC2013-00834—ALLSTATE RECYCLING June 25, 2014 Page 2 D. Site Characteristics: The overall 6.8-acre project site is made up of multiple parcels and is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue, between Pecan Avenue and Hickory Avenue. The 2.44-acre undeveloped portion of the site is relatively flat and is currently used to store trucks and trailers. ANALYSIS: A. Project Description: Allstate Recycling proposes upgrading and expanding their existing ferrous metal processing facility on Whittram Avenue to include a 10,224 square foot office building and a 10,500 square foot warehouse. The expansion will bring the majority of their operations onto adjacent parcels, greatly reducing truck traffic between their Whittram Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue operations. The new facility will include both their household recycling operation, which currently takes place on Etiwanda Avenue, and their more intense ferrous metal recycling operation. All parcels will be connected by a drive aisle running along the south. property line and includes covered areas for the household recycling operation and bailing equipment. The proposed changes will also include relocating the existing truck loaders, which will eliminate the necessity for trucks blocking traffic on Whittram Avenue. The new two-story office building will face Whitram Avenue with the majority of the parking areas located in front and along the sides of the building. The warehouse building will be located along the west property line. The recycling operation will be screened from public view by the office building and 8-foot high gates. The buildings have a contemporary appearance and include clear anodized metal panels to accent the main entrance. The metal panels are carried over to the front of the warehouse, and each building also includes a decorative cornice. B. Entitlement Requirement: Section 17.30.030 of the Development Code requires that scrap operations obtain a Conditional Use Permit. The Scrap Operation classification covers the storage and sale from the premises and/or dismantling of used recyclables. C. Description of Operations: Allstate Recycling currently employs 42 employees. The facility will operate from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; and, from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays. D. Parking: The 10,224 square foot office building requires 41 parking spaces (1 parking space per 250 square feet) and the 10,500 square foot warehouse requires 11 parking spaces (1 parking space per 1,000 square feet) for a total of 52 parking spaces. The project provides 53 parking spaces, 1 parking space in excess of the parking requirement. E. Land Use Compatibility: The project site is located within the Heavy Industrial Development District which permits open air storage of large mounds of raw and semi-refined products. The surrounding uses include vehicle storage, vehicle dismantling, vehicle repair, and a non-conforming single- family residence. The major negative effect that the recycling facility will have on the surrounding land uses will be noise, especially for the neighboring, non-conforming single-family residence. As part of the previous approval, the applicant constructed 8-foot high masonry and metal walls between the project site and the neighboring uses, as well as providing upgraded windows and doors for the neighboring single-family residence. The proposed site improvements and mitigation measures should reduce the negative effects on the neighboring property owners to an acceptable level. F. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Committee (Fletcher, Oaxaca, and Granger) on May 6, 2014. The Committee recommended approval to the Planning Commission. +am r_W i ' PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2013-00833 AND DRC2013-00834—ALLSTATE RECYCLING June 25, 2014 • Page 3 G. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The project was reviewed by the Committees on May 6, 2014. The Committees recommended approval of the project without changes. H. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 aesthetics, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, noise, air quality, green house gas emissions and geology and soils, 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, 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. 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.

Related Project: DRC2011-00254. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surroundina Land Use and Zoning: North - Vehicle Storage—General Industrial (Subarea 8) South - Vacant Land—Heavy Industrial (Subarea 15) East - Auto Dismantler—Heavy Industrial (Subarea 15) West - Vehicle Storage—Heavy Industrial (Subarea 15) B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Heavy Industrial North - General Industrial South - Heavy Industrial East - Heavy Industrial West - Heavy Industrial C. Background: The project was originally scheduled to be reviewed by the Planning Commission on December 14, 2011. On the day of the meeting the applicant informed staff that they wished to expand the scope of the project by adding a temporary office module for the operation of the vehicle scale. The project was continued to an unspecified EXHIBIT C Item C-1321 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2011-00254 and DRC2011-=W—ALL STATE PAPER-AND METAL RECYCLING-JAMES LIN February 8, 2012 Page 2 date to give the Design Review Committee an opportunity to review the inclusion of the office module. D. Site Characteristics: The 4.42-acre project site is made up of multiple parcels and is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Pecan Avenue and Hickory Avenue. The street frontage along Whittram Avenue has not been widened to the ultimate width and the street improvements have not been installed, The site is developed with multiple small covered work areas, a bathroom facility, and is partially paved. The site is divided by two unrelated properties which are developed with a single-family residence and an automotive repair shop.. ANALYSIS: A. Project Description: All State Recycling proposes upgrading and expanding their existing ferrous metal processing facility on Whittram Avenue. The facility has been operating at this location without the required Conditional Use Permit since 1987. The applicant operates a second recycling facility on Etiwanda Avenue which operates under a separate Conditional Use Permit. All State Recycling processes approximately 30,000 to 50,000 tons of scrap metal per year. The two facilities operate in tandem,with trucks first arriving at the Etiwanda Avenue facility to be weighed and then transferred over to the Whittram Avenue facility to either pick up or drop off metal (depending if they are purchasing or selling metal).. They then return to the Etiwanda Avenue facility to be weighed again to either pay or be paid for the metal. The applicant proposes installing a scale at the Whittram Avenue facility which will greatly reduce vehicle travel between the two. sites. The scale will necessitate the installation of an office module to accommodate the scale operator, to complete paper work and to process payments. A permanent building cannot be used due to the office needing to be adjacent to the scale which will be built across a property line. The Building Department.does not allow permanent structures to be built.across a property line. The Conditions of Approval will limit the use of thetemporary office module to a time period of 5 years from the date of approval or 1 year from the date that the applicant closes escrow on the adjacent parcel of land on which a portion of the structure is located. The Whittram Avenue facility receives the scrap metal, breaks it down into smaller pieces and then resells it The facility currently operates on 5 parcels which are separated by two unrelated parcels. The 2 unrelated parcels consist of a single-family residence and art automotive repair shop. The applicant is in the process of completing a lot line adjustment (Lot Line Adjustment SUBLLA689) for a portion of the parcel. on which the residence is located and a lease for a portionof the parcel on which. the automatic repair shop is located. The additional land will provide truck access between the two sites in order to limit truck traffic on Whittram Avenue. A Condition of Approval has been added stating that the selling of any of the subject parcels will void the approved Conditional Use Permit unless the change is approvedthrough an amended Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. B. Entitlement Requirement: Section 17.30.030 of the Development Code requires that scrap operations obtain a Conditional Use Permit. The Scrap Operation classification covers the storage and sale from the premises and/or dismantling of used recyclables. As part of the approval, the applicant is required to make a number of site improvements.

I ' C. Description of Operations: All State Recycling currently employs 42 employees between their Etiwanda Avenue and the Whittram Avenue facilities. The Whittram Avenue facility will have 6 full time employees. The facility will operate one shift from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 pm. on Saturdays. They will i receive approximately 10 to 15 truck trips per day. D. Site Improvements: As part of this approval the following improvements will be made to bring the site into conformance with the current requirements of the Heavy Industrial Development District: 1. Install street improvements including curb, sidewalks, landscaping and pay utility undergrounding in lieu fees for the Whitram Avenue frontage, including the frontage adjacent to the single-family residence and vehicle repair shop. 2. Install an approximately 400 square foot temporary office module. 3. Construct an 8-foot high decorative wall with a decorative cap and view obscuring metal gates along Whittram Avenue and between the project site and the single-family residence. • 4. Construct 8-foot high painted metal screen walls along the east and west property lines and along a portion of the property line separating.the project site from the single- family residence. These metal screen walls will not be visible from the Whittram Avenue right-of-way. 5. Construct an 8-foot high.tan precision block wall with a decorative cap along the south property.line adjacent to the rail road right-of-way. 6. Construct an employee parking area, outdoor eating area and upgrade the existing bathroom facility. 7. Upgrade the existing on-site covered work areas. 8. Pave the entire site and add a vehicle scale along the south property line. 9. Upgrade the windows and doors of the single-family residence in order to reduce the indoor noise levels to City standards as recommended in the Acoustical Impact Report (LSA—June 2011). E. Time Line for Proiect Completion: The applicant has submitted the following time fine for completion all the proposed site improvements taken from the date of Planning Commission approval: 1. Walls and Gates—2 Months 2. Noise Mitigation for the single-family residence.—3 Months • 3. On-site Improvements (paving, parking facility, outdoor eating area, upgrade of the covered work area)-4 Months. Item C-1323 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2011-00254 and DRC2011-00255—ALL STATE PAPER AND METAL RECYCLING-JAMES LIN February 8, 2012 , Page 4 4. Street Improvements and Landscaping—8 Months F. Parking: The applicant does not propose any permanent on-site structures other than the existing bathroom facility and covered work areas. Staff has determined that the 10 proposed on-site parking spaces will be adequate for the 6 employees and any visitors to the site. G. Land Use Compatibility. The project site is located within the. Heavy Industrial Development Districtwhich permits open air storage of large mounds of raw and semi- refined products. The surrounding uses include vehicle storage, vehicle dismantling, vehicle repair, and a non-conforming single-family residence. The major negative effect that the recycling facility will have on the surrounding land uses will be noise, especially for the neighboring single-family residence: As part of this approval, the applicant will construct 8-foot high masonry and metal walls between the project site and the neighboring uses, as well as provide upgraded windows and doors for the neighboring single-family residence. The proposed site improvements and mitigation measures should reduce the negative effects on the neighboring property, owners to an acceptable level. H. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Committee. (Munoz, Wimberly, Granger) on October 4, 2011. The, main issue was the type of screening material that would be required along the east, west and south property lines and adjacent to the single-family residence. The Committee recommended that the applicant provide a solid block wall along the south property line, painted metal fences alongthe east and west elevations and a decorative block wall between the facility and the single-family residence. The applicant has made all the requested.changes.. The Committee (Munoz, Wimberly, Granger) reviewed the request to add the office module on January 17, 2012.. They were. accepting of the inclusion of a temporary building on the project site as it will be located at the rear of the property and will only be minimally visible from the public right-of-way. They requested that a condition be placed on the final approval limiting the use of the temporary office module to 5 years from the. date of approval or 1 year from the date that the applicant is able to purchase the neighboring parcels. I. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The project was reviewed by the Committees on October 4; 2011. The Committees recommended. approval of the project without changes. J. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Ouality Act (°CEQK) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 aesthetics, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality; noise, air quality, green house gas emissions and geology and soils, 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, 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.

Tabe van der Zwaag October 4, 2011 j DEVELOPMENT DESIGN REVIEW DRC2011-00255-ALL STATE PAPER AND METAL RECYCLING - JAMES LIN -A request to operate a scrap operation and make improvements to the 4.42-acre site within the Heavy Industrial District of Subarea 15, located at 13195, 1320.7, 13231, 13243, and 13253 Whittram Avenue-APN: 022-192-09, 08, 04, 03, and 02. Related file: Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00254. i i Proiect Proposal: The applicant proposes upgrading: their existing ferrous metal processing facility on Whittram Avenue. The facility has been operating at this location since 1987 and around the comer on Etiwanda Avenue since 1999: The two facilities operate in tandem, with trucks first arriving at the Etiwanda Avenue facility to be weighed and then heading to the Whittram Avenue.facility to either pick up or drop off metal- (depending if they are purchasing or selling metal). They then go back. to the Etiwanda Avenue facility to be weighed again to either pay or be paid for the metal. The Whittram Avenue facility receives the scrap metal, breaks it down into smaller pieces, and then resells it. The Whittram. Avenue facility currently operates on 5 parcels which are separated by 2 unrelated parcels: The 2 unrelated parcels consist of a single-family residence and an automotive repair shop.. The applicant proposes purchasing a portion of the parcel on which the residence is located • and leasing a portion of the parcel on which the automatic repair shop is located in order to provide truck access between the two'sites:and limit truck traffic on Whittram Avenue. The applicant has submitted an acoustic study which recommends installing new windows in the residence to reduce noise from the facility. The existing facility has been operating on a portion of the two sites on Whittram Avenue without a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)and has been directed that the existing facility will need to be upgraded as part of the CUP approval process. The upgrades include street improvements (curb, sidewalk, landscaping), a new 10-foot high decorative wall and view obscuring metal gates along Whittram Avenue (Development.Code limits the height of stored material to the screen wall height for the first 120 feet from the curb face), 10-foot high walls along the rail road right-of-way, employee parking, and outdoor eating area, upgrading existing on-site structures (bathroom facility and covered work areas), paving and on-site clean up. The street frontage upgrades will also include the areas.in front of the single-family residence and the automotive repair shop. Staff Comments: Staff feels that the proposed changes will greatly improve this portion of Whittram.Avenue. A number of issues remain that need to be resolved by the Design Review Committee. The applicant proposes using painted solid metal fencing material along the rail right-of-way, along the west property line, and between the project site and the residence and automotive shop. The question is whether the metal fencing is adequate. It should be noted that there are other businesses that use metal fencing along Whittram Avenue, and that the Development Code permits masonry, concrete,. wood metal, or chain link with slats in the Heavy Industrial District: Staff feels the metal fencing may be appropriate (if property installed and painted).along the rail right-of-way and along the west property line. Staff believes that block walls would be a more appropriate separation between the facility and the residence (with the block wall located along the side of the house and continuing a minimum 20 feet from the back of the house). i EXHIBIT C 10G C9-S 4 C;L Item C-D33 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2011-00255—ALL STATE PAPER AND METAL RECYCLING—JAMES LIN October 4, 2011 Page 2 The applicant is also proposing to line the east property line with metal shipping containers and leaving the existing chain link fencing in place (there is an auto wrecking. business to the east). Staff has informed the applicant that if the Design Review Committee approves the use of the shipping containers as screening, they will at minimum need to paint them all a coordinating color. Major Issues: None. Secondary Issues: 1. Whether metal fencing is an adequate screening material or should be upgraded to decorative block walls. 2. Whether block walls (rather than metal fencing) should be used to screen the facility from the neighboring residential use. If block walls are required,for what distance? 3. Whether shipping containers may be used to screen the facility from the neighboring industrial use or should be upgraded to either a solid metal fencing or block walls. Policy Issues: 1. Barbed wire shall not be used on the property line walls facing Whittram Avenue or the railroad. right-of-way,. 2. A Sign Permit is required for all signage. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee direct staff to the appropriateness of the proposed changes and whether the project may be scheduled for Planning Commission review with staff reviewing any recommended changes. Design Review Committee Action: The project was approved with the following changes: 1. Provide an 8-foot high masonry wall along the entire south property line(rail road right-of-way). 2. Provide solid metal fences along the east and west property lines and between the project site and the automotive shop. 3. Provide an 8-foot high decorative wall between the existing residence and the project site. The wall shall run from the north property line to the terminus of the adjacent subterranean loading dock.

Related file: DRC2011-00254. i Background: This project was previously reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee on October 4, 2011, and was docketed for the Planning Commission meeting on December 14, 2011. Prior to the Planning Commission hearing,. the applicant changed the scope of the project to include a temporary office trailer.. The office trailer is needed to house the control equipment and operator for the on-site truck scale. i Proiect Proposal: See the attached October 4, 2011,. Design Review Committee Comments and Action Agenda for a full description of the proposed project. The only change from the original proposal is the addition of a temporary 12-foot by 40-foot modular office trailer. The location of the trailer will be adjacent to the proposed truck scale, which will cross a property line. The applicant is leasing a portion of the property on which the trailer will be located. The Building and Safety Department does not permit • permanent buildings to be built across a property line. The applicant will construct a permanent building when they are able to purchase the site. The applicant will paint the building to match the other structures on the site and add skirts around the base of the trailer to screen the undercarriage. The trailer will be located 12 feet off of the south property line and will"be screened by an 8-foot high wall. Staff Comments: Staff has no concerns with the trailer as long as it is temporary in nature and is painted to match the other structures on the site and a skirt is added around the base of the trailer. Maior Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None. Policy Issue: A condition of approval will be added to the related Conditional Use Permit (CUP DRC2011-00254) limiting the period that the temporary office trailer may remain on the site for up to 5 years. Staff Recommendation:. Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project as presented. Design Review Committee Action: The Committee was accepting of the inclusion of a temporary building on the project site, as it will be located at the rear of the property and will be slightly visible fmm the public right-of-way. They requested that a condition be placed on the final approval limiting the use of the temporaryoffice module to 5 years from the date of approval or 1 year from the date that the applicant is able to purchase the neighboring parcels.

Related Projects: Conditional Use Permits DRC2011-00254 and DRC2013-00834. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. I Proiect Overview: Allstate Recycling y g proposes to expand their existing recycling facility by adding a 10,224 square foot office building and a 10,500 square foot warehouse on a 2.44-acre project site directly adjacent to their existing operation. The expansion will bring the majority of their operation onto adjacent parcels, greatly reducing truck traffic between the sites. The new facility will include both their household recycling operation,. which currently takes place on Etiwanda Avenue, and their more intense ferrous metal recycling operation. All the parcels will be connected by a drive aisle running along the south property line and includes covered areas for the household recycling operation and bailing equipment. The new two-story office building will face Whitram Avenue with the majority of the parking areas located in front and along the sides of the building. The warehouse building will be located along the west property line. The recycling operation will be screened from public view by the office building. and 8-foot high gates. The buildings have a.contemporary appearance and include clear anodized metal panels to accent the main entrance. The metal panels are: carried over to the front of the warehouse and each building also includes a decorative cornice. Staff Comments: The applicant has done an excellent job creating buildings with a strong visual presence that are well articulated and carry architectural features to each elevation: The buildings meet all Development Code requirements including setbacks, parking, landscaping, screening, and building design. The expansion and redesign of the overall site will eliminate the necessity for trucks to back up onto the site from Whittram Avenue and from traveling between the two existing business locations. Major Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee forward the project to the Planning Commission for final approval as presented. Design Review Committee Action: The project was approved as presented. Members Present: Fletcher, Oaxaca, Granger Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwaag • Item C—D46 � Print F.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? C) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Comments: a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within a view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The project site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue and is characterized by industrial development to the north and west, a non-conforming single-family residence to the east, and an active rail line to the south. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project as the surrounding properties are designated for industrial uses. Design review is required prior to approval. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning Commission. Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by. said Resolution. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The project would increase the number of street lights and security lighting used in the immediate vicinity. The design and placement of the light fixtures will be shown on the site plans which require review for consistency with City standards that require shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare. The lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the project site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Comments: a) The project site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue and is characterized by industrial development to j the north and west, a non-conforming single-family residence to the east, and an active rail line to the south. The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. There are approximately 209 acres of Farmland of Local Importance, ,, Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga according to the General Plan and the California Department of Conservation Farmland Map 2010. Concentrations of Important Farmland are sparsely located in the southern and eastern parts of the City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Farmland in the southern portion of the City is characterized by industrial, residential, and commercial land uses and Farmland in the eastern portion of the City is within the Etiwanda area and planned for development. Further, a large number of the designated farmland parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan FPEIR identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no • Williamson Act contracts within the City. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) There are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i Rev 2-26-13 itam r—n7F Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 6 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No I act In orated I Impact d) Refer to 2.d above. e) The project site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue and is characterized by industrial development to the north and west, a non-conforming single-family residence to the east, and an active rail line to the south. The nearest agricultural use is more than 3 miles to the north of the project site. Furthermore, there are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land. Therefore, there is no potential for conversion of forest land to a non-forest use.Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? C) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) number of people? Comments: a) As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.3), the proposed project would not interfere with the ability of the region to comply with Federal and State air quality standards for Criterion 1 Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations (local air quality impacts) or Criterion 2 Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP (consistency with the 2003 AQMP). Therefore the project is consistent with the 2003 AQMP and is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) Both the State of California and the Gederal government have established health-based ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants. These pollutants include ozone (03), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,io), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.$) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and particulate matter (PMlo and PM2.5) are considered regional pollutants while the others have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a reasonable margin of safety. The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The Rev 2-26-13 Itnm r—n77 ' I Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 7 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this include motor vehicles at an intersection, a mail and on highways. SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within in jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from motor vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB). The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions from the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air pollution problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion (increasing temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the ground. Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants: ozone (Os), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide(NO2), sulfur dioxide(SO2), and lead. ® Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or "non-attainment' depending on whether the regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS.' Non-attainment areas have additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern California Association of Governments(SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) responsible for ensuring the Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast Air Basin is in Non-Attainment Status for Ozone, PM,o and PM2.s. Specific criteria for determining whether the potential air quality impacts of a project are significant are set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The criteria include daily emissions thresholds, compliance with State and national air quality standards, and consistency with the current AQMP. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an air impact study (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2014) that utilizes the CALEEMOD model (Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Green House Gas Emissions. Short Term (Construction)Impacts There will be minimal short term impact related to the project. New construction related to the project will include a tilt up building, street improvements, new landscaping, paving, and screen walls. The standard mitigation measures included below will reduce the potential effects on the environment to less-than-significant. i Rev 2-26-13 i Itam r_r%7Q Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 8 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mhtigation Significant No Impact Incorporated InWact Im act Table 1: Short-Term Regional Construction Emissions Total ReLvional Pollutant Emissions lbs/da .

Exhaust emissions from construction activities envisioned on-site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The use of construction equipment on-site would result in localized exhaust emissions. The most recent version of the CALEEMOD model (Version 2013.2)was used to calculate the construction emissions as shown on Table 1 above. Fugitive Dust Fugitive dust emissions are generally associated with land clearing and exposure of soils to the air and wind, and cut-and-fill grading operations. Dust generated during construction varies substantially on a project-by-project basis, depending on the level of activity, the specific operation and weather conditions at the time of construction. Construction emissions can vary greatly depending on the level of activity, the specific operations taking place, the equipment being operated, local soils, weather conditions and other factors. The proposed project will be required to comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 to control fugitive dust. Table 1 above lists total construction emissions that have incorporated a number of feasible control measures that can be reasonably implemented to significantly reduce PM,a emissions from construction activities.

Based on the proposed project expansion, it is estimated that application of the architectural coatings for the proposed peak construction day will result in a peak of 34 lbs./day of VOCs.. . Therefore, VOC emissions will not exceed for SCAQMD VOC i threshold of 75 lbs./day. I Localized Significance Analysis The SCAQMD has issued guidance on applying CALEEMOD modeling results to LST analyses. Sensitive receptors include residences, schools, hospitals, and similar uses that are sensitive to noise and air pollutants. There is an existing single-family residence immediately adjacent to the project site. Table 2 below shows that the projects LST emissions from on-site sources would be well below the SCAQMD LST thresholds for the adjacent single-family residence. Therefore, the proposed operational activity of the project would not result in a localized significant air quality impact.

However, the construction activity would cease to occur after individual construction is completed. No other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project, f and no mitigation measures are required. The air quality study (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2014) states that the proposed facility only processes dry paper and metals and, f therefore, is not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. In compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 the proposed uses are not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. Therefore, objectionable odors posing a health risk to potential on-site and existing off-site persons would not occur as a result of the proposed project. • Naturally Occurring Asbestos The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County, and it is not among the counties that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition, there has been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the I Rev 2-26-13 Item C-DAn Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 10 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact potential risk for naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less-than-significant. Construction Emissions Conclusions Table 1 above shows that daily regional construction emissions would not exceed the daily thresholds of any criteria pollutant emission thresholds established by the SCAQMD. This table shows there would be no LST impact during construction. Therefore, construction air quality impacts would be less-than-significant and no additional mitigation are required. 2010 General Plan FPEIR Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation Measures(short term) Short Term (Construction)Emissions Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive.dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a project-speck basis and in conformance with the General Plan FPEIR. Therefore, the following mitigation measures as identified in the. FPEIR shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits,.the developer shall submit construction plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD)as well as City Planning Staff. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally,contractors shall include the following provisions: Rev 2-26-13 iron,r—nR1 i Initial Stud for Study City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 11 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Otigatiion Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering. Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads. • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. I • Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is i carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph)in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. • Maintain a minimum 244nch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB]) daily to reduce PMio emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM,o emissions. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G) estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (03), and Particulate Matter (PMz.s and PMJo) would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant.

The stationary source emissions would come from additional natural gas . consumption for on-site buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. The Air Quality Study(LSA Associates, Inc., March 2014)completed for the project reviewed the Long Term Operational Emissions of the project including health risks on the surrounding area (Table 3 above and Table 4 below). The study concluded that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment including Cancer Risk (Maximum Exposed Individual (MEI)), Acute Risk (Maximum Acute Hazard Index (MNHI)) or Chronic Risk (Maximum Chronic Hazard Index (MCHI)). Therefore, project- related long-term air quality impacts will not be significant and mitigation measures will not be required. 2010 General Plan FPEIR Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation Measures(long term) Lona Term(Operational)Emissions The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. In the long term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan FPEIR; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 1) Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. 2) Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle services. 3) Schedule truck deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours.

I 9) All industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking for vanpools. 10) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas. 11) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink schedule to the extent reasonably feasible. 12) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters. 13) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate thermal pane windows and weather-stripping. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the General Plan FPEIR(Section 4.3). C) As noted in the General Plan FEIR(Section 4.3), continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential. to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air Rev 2-26-13 i Item C-1384 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 14 Less Than Significant less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant fustigation Significant No hipact Incorporated impact Impact contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is adjacent to a non-conforming single-family residence. The Air Quality Study (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2014)completed for the project reviewed the Long Term Operational Emissions of the project including health risks on the surrounding area (Table 4 below). The study concluded that project would not have a significant effect on the environment including Cancer Risk (Maximum Exposed Individual (MEI)), Acute Risk (Maximum Acute Hazard Index (MNHI)) or Chronic Risk (Maximum Chronic Hazard Index (MCHI)). Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under b)above will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels.

CEQA=California Environmental Quality Act MEI=Maximum Exposed Individual SCAQMD=South Coast Air Quality Management District e) Construction Odors (short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and would dissipate rapidly. Operation Odors (long-term)are typically associated with the type of use. Odors from residential uses would be like cooking and gardening. Similarly common odors associated with mixed-use and commercial land uses would be expected (i.e. restaurants). Local odors from the majority of land uses would be similar to other urban areas and would not be considered significant. Industrial uses could create objectionable odors and, therefore, are located away from residential uses and sensitive receptors. Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. f) As discussed above, the projected emissions of criteria pollutants as a result of the proposed project operation are below the emissions thresholds established for the region. Cumulative emission are part of the emissions inventory included in the AQMP for the project area. Therefore, there would be no cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants that are in nonattainment status in the Basin, and no mitigation measures are required.

Comments: a) The project site is located in an area developed with industrial uses. The site was previously used to store trucks and trailers and has been significantly altered. The only substantial vegetation is a mature eucalyptus tree at the southwest corner of the property which will be preserved in lace. Otherwise, j P the project site is sporadically vegetated by weedy invasive plants commonly found in areas with a high level of disturbance. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, the development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. Furthermore, according to a biological resources report(LSA, Associates, Inc., August 16, g 2013)the project site does not contain desirable habitat for special status species. Therefore, significant cumulative effects to biological resources as a result of the proposed project are not anticipated. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists on-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous natural open space areas. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south trending tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence.Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There is one Heritage tree on the project site. This tree will be protected in-place and integrated into the project. Therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with any local ordinance and no adverse impacts are anticipated. f) Neither the City nor the SOI are within an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved State Habitat.Conservation Plan area. The project site is not located within a local conservation area according to the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Figure RC-1. No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) significance of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5? b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (✓) ( ) ( ) significance of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? C) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) resource or site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) outside of formal cemeteries? Comments: a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24(Historic Preservation). b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 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: Rev 2-26-13 Item C—D87 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 17 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than SigniSignificant Mitigation Significant No ficant Incorporated Impact Impact- Enact m actEnact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its archaeological value. • 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, j planning the site as a park or green space or paying a 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. C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial fan. According to the research performed at the Natural History Museum of j Los Angeles County and the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the Sphere-of-Influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per the Public Safety Element of the j General Plan; therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented: I 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 I 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 j 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.

Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The project site has already been disrupted by the storage of heavy vehicles and regular weed abatement. No known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are discovered on-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault?

Rev 2-26-13 Item C-1389 i Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 19 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Wlth Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Comments: a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Red Hill Fault, j passes within 3.5 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 5 miles north of the site. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0 to 7.0 earthquakes. Also,the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 10 miles northeasterly of the city boundary and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 12 miles northeasterly of the City boundary. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code, Standard Conditions and the recommendations made in the Geotechnical Investigation Report will ensure that geologic impacts are less-than-significant.Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within a designated Soil Erosion Control Area Exhibit 4.7-4 of the General Plan FPEIR. The proposed project will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control; however, development of this project under the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB)daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible. 2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off- site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to {' minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes. f 4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 6 hours or l more to reduce PM,o emissions. C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.7) indicates that there is a potential for the hillside areas at the northern end of the City and in the SOI for slope failure, landslides, and/or erosion. Areas subject to slope instability contain slopes of 30 percent or greater. Landslides may be induced by seismic activity, rain, or construction. The City Hillside Development Regulations prohibits the development within slopes of 30 percent or greater and limit the number of units that could be constructed within the Hillside Residential and • Very Low Density Residential designations in the Hillside areas. The site is not within an Earthquake hazard zone or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-2. Soil types on-site consist of Tujunga Gravelly Loamy Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i Rev 2-26-13 itizm r-nan Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 20 Less Than Significant less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mfigation Significant No Impact Inco rated Impact Impact d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on-site consist of Tujunga Gravelly Loamy Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. These soils are typically found in long, broad, smooth alluvial fans. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) H ( ) () indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? () ( ) ( ) V) Comments: a) Reaulations and Significance-The Federal government began studying the phenomenon of global warming as early as 1979 with the National Climate Protection Act(92 Stat.601). In June of 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger established California's Green House Gas ("GHG") emissions reduction target in Executive Order (EO) S-3-05. The EO created goals to reduce GHG emissions for the State of California to 2000 levels by 2010; GHG emissions reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; and GHG emissions reduced to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Additionally, on December 7, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued findings regarding GHGs under rule 202(a) of the Clean Air Act: (1) that GHGs endanger human health; and (2)that this will be the first steps to regulating GHGs through the Federal Clean Air Act. The USEPA defines six key GHGs (carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CH4], nitrous oxide [N20], hydrofluorocarbons [HFCs], perfluorocarbons [PFCs], and sulfur hexafluoride [SF6]. The combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to GHG pollution. The western States, including Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, already experience hotter, drier climates. California is a substantial contributor of GHGs and is expected to see an increase of three to four degrees Fahrenheit(°F)over the next century. Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in 1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main strategies for meeting the 2020 deadline. Significant progress can be made toward the 2020 goal through existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. Other solutions would include improving the infrastructure of the State, and transitioning to cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. Rev 2-26-13 Item C-091 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 21 Less Than significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Si ificant Mitigation Significant No act Incorporated Impact Impact The ARB estimates that 38 percent of the State's GHG emissions in 2004 was from transportation sources followed by electricity generation (both in-State and out-of-State) at 28 percent and industrial at 20 percent. Residential and commercial activities account for j 9 percent, agricultural uses at 6 percent, high global warming potential gases at 3 percent, and recycling and waste at 1 percent. It is not anticipated that any single development project would have a substantial effect on global climate change but that GHG emissions from the project would combine with emissions across California, the United States, and the world to cumulatively contribute to global climate change. Therefore, consistent with the ARB's Climate Change Scoping Plan, the proposed project was evaluated for consistency with the Early Action Measures (Scoping Plan is a recommendation until adopted through normal rulemaking). The proposed project is assessed by determining its consistency with the 37 Recommended Actions identified by ARB. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 97 and CEQA, the project has been analyzed based on a performance based standard") (CEQA 15064.4). Additionally, the ARB was directed through SB 375 to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved within the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035. SCAQMD and ARB maintain ambient air quality monitoring stations in the Basin. The stations closest to the project site are the Upland station and the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The Upland station monitors all criteria pollutant except PM1o, PM2.s, and SO2 which are monitored at the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM1o, and PM2.s levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly. Proiect Related Sources of GHG's - Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any ambient air quality standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of Planning and Research (OPR) guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead Agency. According to the Air Quality Study (LSA Associates, Inc., March 2014) operational emissions would not cause a significant effect on the environment (see Tables 1 and 2 below): r I Rev 2-26-13 Item C—Dq?

The GHG emitted by construction equipment is primarily carbon dioxide (COs). The highest levels of construction related GHG's occur Rev 2-26-13 Item C-D93 i Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 23 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Nth Than Significant Mtigation Significant No Impact Inco orated Impact Impact during site preparation including demolition, grading and excavation. Construction related GHG's are also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction workers traveling to the job site. Exhaust emissions from construction activities would vary each day with the changes in construction activity on-site. The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates GHG's such as CO2, Cha, and N20. CHa is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: i 1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 regarding fugitive dust including treating the site with water or other soil-stabilizing agent twice daily or replanting disturbed areas as quickly as possible. 2) The construction contractor shall select construction equipment based on low-emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on the grading plan that ensures all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufactures' specification. 3) Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes. • 4) Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or diesel-powered engines where feasible. 5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak-hour traffic. 6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for the construction crew. Long Term (Operational) GHG's Emissions - The primary source of GHG emissions generated by the proposed project would be from motor vehicles, combustion of natural gas for space and water heating, as well as off-site GHG emissions from generation of electricity consumed by the proposed land use development over a long term. CEOA requires the Lead Agency to review the project for"adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure," to determine potential impacts of GHG's. Therefore the project has been analyzed based on methodologies and information available to the City at the time this document was prepared. Estimates are based on past performance and represent a scenario that is a worst case with the understanding that technology changes may reduce GHG emissions in the future. To date, there is no established quantified GHG emission threshold. The project involves the construction of a 10,224 square foot office building and a 10,500 square foot warehouse and, therefore, would result in an increase in the net increases of both stationary and mobile source emissions. The majority of energy consumption typically occurs during project operation (more than 80 percent and less than 20 percent during construction activities). The proposed project will incorporate several design features that are consistent with the California Office of the Attorney General's recommended measures to reduce GHG emission including: 1) Install water efficient landscapes and d irrigation systems and devices in compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the CARB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. Additionally, the City is participating in the development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) with SANBAG for the San Bernardino County area pursuant to Senate Bill(SB)375. The project's long term operation emissions will contribute to area pollutants but will not exceed any of the SCAQMD's thresholds. The proposed project would have less than a significant long term impact with the following mitigation measures: 6) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC)materials. 7) Design all buildings to exceed California Building Code Title 24 energy standard including but not limited to any combination of; • Increased insulation. • Limit air leakage through the.structure. • Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances. • Landscape and develop site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and landscaping. • Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems. • Install light colored"cool" roofs and cool pavements. • Install solar or light emitting diodes(LED's)for outdoor lighting. 8) Prepare a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the project and include the following: Rev 2-26-13 1+ens r_moc i , i Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga • Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 25 Less Than Significant Lesa i Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact I • Install water efficient landscapes and irrigation systems and devices in compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. I • Use reclaimed water for landscaping within the project if available and/or install the infrastructure to deliver and use reclaimed water. I • Design building to be water efficient by installing water efficient fixtures and appliances including low flow faucets, dual flush toilets and waterless urinalstwater heaters. • Design irrigation to control runoff and to remove water to non-vegetated surfaces. 9) Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste. Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. Educate employees about reducing waste and about recycling. The GHG emissions created by the proposed project have been analyzed based on the proposed thresholds and guidelines provided by SCAQMD. At the SCAQMD's Working Group's eighth meeting on January 28, 2009, the working group released GHG emission thresholds for projects where the SCAQMD is the lead agency. The GHG emission thresholds for projects where the SCAQMD is the lead agency.The threshold requires that the GHG emission of a project is less than 10,000 tons per year of CO2e. i Since the SCAQMD provided substantial evidence in determining their draft CHG emission thresholds, this analysis has utilized 10,000 metric tons per year of CO2B as the threshold. As shown on Table 1 and 2 above for GHG emissions during short-term project construction and long-term project operations and in the CALEEMOD output in Appendix A, the total operation al GHG emissions expected from the project expansion (using the standard CALEEMOD sources for light industrial land uses and adding the construction emission representing the construction type equipment used to process the recycled materials are approximately 280 metric tons per year of CO2e. Therefore, the project would not result in a significant impact on GCC. i b) The project proposes the construction of a 10,224 square foot office building and a 10,500 square foot warehouse. No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update included adopted policies and Standard Conditions that respond to the Attorney General and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). The General Plan policies and Standard Conditions guide infill and sustainable development reliant on pedestrian connections, reuse and rehabilitation of existing structureslink , transportation opportunities, promote development that is sensitive to natural resources and incentivizes denser mixed use projects that maximizes diverse opportunities. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of GHG's and determined that GHG emissions would be cumulatively considerable, which would be a significant unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly (AB) 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact.

Comments: a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and maintenance activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through construction activities that would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease, and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant. impacts to a level less-than-significant.Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials or volatile fuels will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i C) There are no schools located within 0.25 mile of the project site. The nearest school is Perdew Elementary School at 13051 Miller Avenue located more than one mile to the north of the project site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site. Recent site inspections did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous materials. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The site is not located within an Airport Land Use Plan according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1 and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The project site is located approximately 4 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport ® and is offset north of the flight path. Further, the site is not located within the LA/ONT Airport Influence Area (AIA), according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and evacuation routes to existing development. New development will be located on a site that has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. The project includes at least two points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes, including I local fire ordinances. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind-driven fires in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the proposed project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone I according to General Plan Figure PS-1.

( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) Water service is provided by the Fontana Water District. The project is designed to connect to existing water system. The project is in an area that is not served by a sewer system.A private septic system will be installed that complies with City, State and Federal regulations for onsite waste treatment. The State of California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES permit. The State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB), Rev 2-26-13 i i Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 29 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region, i administers these permits. Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Permit. The General Permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during construction activities, including site clearance and grading: • Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from moving off-site into receiving waters. ! • Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other waters of the nation. • Perform inspections of all BMPs. Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the project construction contractor will be required to prepare an SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP, prepared by Lin Consulting, Inc. (January 13, 2014), which identifies BMPs to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the drainage system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads, and other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant i levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices such as periodic parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system. The following mitigation measures are required to control additional storm water effluent: Construction Activities: 1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the Building Official for approval, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall Rev 2-26-13 I Item C-13100 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 30 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact _. Incorporated Impact Impact include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California, and b) M inspection and maintenance program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. 3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there is rainfall or other runoff. 4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site. Post- Construction Operational: 5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by Lin Consulting, Inc. (January 13, 2014) to reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 6) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. b) According to Fontana Water District, there is adequate water resources available to service the project. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 300 to 470 feet below the ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.9), continued development citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact. CVWD has plans to meet this increased need to the year 2030. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the project will not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates; drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on a site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to Rev 2-26-13 Item C-13101 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 31 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact- handle m cthandle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on-or off-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on a site; however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project will not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on-or off-site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The project is an expansion of an existing ferrous metal recycling facility and is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The j following mitigation measures shall be implemented: i 1) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Building Official for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), including a project description and identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. 2) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that i this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit. g) No housing units are proposed with this project. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood. protected by an extensive storm drain system designed to adequately convey floodwaters from a 100-year storm event. The system is i substantially improved roved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local • drainage flows. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Figure PS-6. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue and is characterized by industrial development to the north, east and west, with an active rail line to the south. This project will be of similar design and size to surrounding industrial development to the north, east and west. The project will become a part of the larger community. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is Heavy Industrial (HI) District. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, SCAG's Compass Blueprint, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to General Plan Figure RC4 and Section 4.10 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 11. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?

I 12. NOISE. Would the project result in: I a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? C) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise () ( ) ( ) (✓) levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ✓ ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) existing without the project? I e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in //the project area to excessive noise levels? Comments: a) The project site is not within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to j General Plan Figure PS-9 at build-out; however, there is a non-conforming single-family residence to the east of the project site. An Acoustical Impact Study (LSA Associates, Inc., June 2011) was performed on the site to the east for a previous entitlement (that is also operated by the applicant) and mitigation measures were recommended that would reduce the interior noise levels of the single-family residence to less-than-significant. The applicant complied with the recommendations of that Acoustical Impact Study. A new Acoustical Impact Report (LSA; March 2014) was performed for the project site and concluded that with the implementation of the previous mitigation measures related to the non-conforming single-family residence, no additional mitigation measures are necessary beyond the following standard mitigation measures: • Exterior): 1) 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 i Rev 2-26-13 i I item r_ninn Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 34 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Poter(dally With Than Significant FAUgabon Significant No Impact Inco rated . Impact hPact shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 2) Business operations shall maintain a noise level at 60dB or less during the hours of 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. No loading and unloading activities including opening, closing, or other handling of boxes, crates, containers, building materials, garbage cans, or other similar objects between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m, in a manner which would cause a noise disturbance to residential areas. b) The proposed ferrous metal recycling facility does not use any equipment that creates a sustained ground borne vibrations. The main source of any ground borne vibration is the moving of the recycled materials which may cause very short periods of vibration that are not excessive for the Heavy Industrial District in which the site is located. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The Acoustical Impact Report prepared by LSA on March 2014 states that the onsite operations will have a maximum noise level of 86 dBA. The site is located in a heavy industrial location which permits outdoor operations that do not exceed 85 Ldn. Ldn is an average noise level over a fixed period of time, whereas dBA is an average sound level at a given point in time. Per staff discussion with the author of the Acoustical Impact Report, the on-site Ldn measurement is much lower than the maximum permitted 85 dBA. Additionally, the project is an expansion of the existing ferrous metal recycling facility. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The General Plan FPEIR(Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: 1) 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. 2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specked 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. 3) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first phase. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport Rev 2-26-13 i Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 35 Less Than I Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant lcaIncorporated Mitigation Significant ImpactImpact No of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be required: 4) 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. e) The site is not located within an Airport Land Use Plan and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The project site is located approximately 4 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. I f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles to the west I of the City's westerly limits. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i 13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: • a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, ( ) ( ) ( ) V) necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? C) Displace substantial numbers ofeo le, necessitating P P 9 O O O O the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Comments: a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population growth. The project is an expansion of an existing use and will have a very limited number of new employees; hence, will not create a demand for additional housing as a majority of the employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i b) The project site is within the Heavy Industrial (HI) District and is vacant land. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) Refer to 13.b above.

PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? b) Police protection? C) Schools? d) Parks? e) Other public facilities? Comments: a) The site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue. It is served by Fire Station #174 at 11297 Jersey Boulevard located about 2 miles to the west of the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project to lessen the future demand and impacts to fire services. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The site is in a developed area currently served by the Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The project will be required to pay School Fees as prescribed by State law prior to the issuance of building permits. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue. The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is Garcia Park at 13150 Garcia Drive located about 1 mile to the north of the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.14), there will be a projected increase in Rev 2-26-13 Itom r•_nin7 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 37 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No impact Incorporated Impact Impact library space demand but with the implementation of standard conditions the increase in Library Services would be mitigated to less-than-significant impact. Additionally, the Paul A. Biane Library has an additional 14,000 square foot shell of vacant library space that is planned for future Library use. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore, no adverse impact is expected. 15. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? i Comments: a) The site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and • Hickory Avenue. The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is Garcia Park at 13150 Garcia Drive located about 1 mile to the north of the project site. The project is not proposing any new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of parks or other recreational facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) Refer to 15.a above. i 16. TRANSPORTATIONlTRAFFIC.

Comments• a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 141 vehicle trips daily. The proposed project includes the development of a 20,724 square foot industrial building. The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each 1,000 square feet of industrial building area will generate 6.79 trips daily. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16), continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in project design. The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The project. site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project includes 20,724 square feet of general commercial that will generate 20 morning two-way peak hour trips and 22 evening two-way peak hour trips. The project site is within a Heavy Industrial Development District which was designed to accommodate businesses with above average large truck traffic. Additionally, in November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted Transportation Development Fee prior to the issuance of a building permit. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials. The project.will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The site is located on the south side of Whittram Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Hickory Avenue. Located about 4 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is off-set north of the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

The project will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk)along the street frontage of the site. The project design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections or farming uses. The project will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles during construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an inadequate emergency access. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. f) The project is an expansion of a ferrous metal recycling facility. The project will not conflict with any adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. i 17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.

The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 18. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? C) Does the project have environmental effects that will ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: a) The site is not.located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Figure RC-4. Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely Rev 2-26-13 Itam C'_r)111 I Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Review DRC2013-00833 Page 41 i I Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inco orated Impact Impact that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2010 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change and Mineral Resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. I C) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies I construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels. Therefore, no adverse impacts are p anticipated.

Page 2 a. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code, Municipal Code, General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan or City Regulations/Standard. The project is located within the Heavy Industrial (HI) Development District which permits recycling/scrap facilities with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and complies with all related code requirements. b. The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and can be conditioned to meet all related performance standards. The Heavy Industrial (HI) District is designed to accommodate large scale operations such as recycling/scrap facility and the project site is served by the local utilities. C. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity in which the project is located. The recycling/scrap facility has been designed to meet all related Code requirements and will conform to all related performance standards. 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, 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, 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. 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.
