Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and a brief PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted an amended condition regarding the construction of fencing(Planning#18) found on Agenda Pages C-F 114 and 136 of the agenda packet. He said the corrected verbiage has been placed before the Commissioners on the dais (copy on file). • Commissioner Howdyshell asked if any single story homes will be provided and if the tract will be serviced by sewer or septic. Mr. van der Zwaag said the criteria for the 25% single-story requirement is for lots over 7500 square feet. He said the developer could consider single-story homes when they submit their house product but will not be required to provide them. He said the homes will be on a sewer line. Commissioner Fletcher asked why the LMD agreed to take over the strips of land along the north and northeast perimeter and if that benefits the City. Mr. van der Zwaag said the owners did not want to create an HOA so the District took it over. He said it is a net reduction of maintenance to the City because we are no longer maintaining a park and the homeowners will also be paying into the LMD. Dan James, Sr. Civil Engineer said it is also for the purpose of providing a better line of sight. Chairman Wimberly asked if considerations are in place for the existing surrounding development with respect to dust control during construction. A,4r. van der Zwaag said these are standard conditions already found in the AQMD requirements. He said the mitigations require watering the site, stopping construction in high wind conditions, etc. Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney said Page C-F 40 lists the short term emissions impacts, and following that, the mitigations for these impacts. Item A-3 ;l HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Cm MARCH 11, 2015 UCAMONM Page 4 Brent Caldwell representing William Lyon Co said he concurs with the conditions. He said because William Lyon is not a builder, they will go to market. He said the homeowners will pay into the LMD and therefore is not free landscaping for the new owners. He said there will be 31 more property owners to help pay for the maintenance. He said there will be a large sign posted on the site regarding dust during construction. He said folks can call if they see dust. Chairman Wimberly opened the public hearing. Chris Jolly said she lives in the neighborhood. She expressed concern over the loss of trees, walkways and the grading level of the site. Carlo Esperanza, 6513 Messina had concerns about traffic and crossing the street near the northern part of the tract. He asked for safety lights to be embedded in the asphalt for a safer crossing. He was concerned the cranes would leave. Mr. van der Zwaag said there will be a 4-way stop at Kenyon and Lark. Mr. Caldwell said the sidewalk on west side of the project will be 10 feet away from where existing walkway is. He said some trees will be added and they will replace the removed ones. He said the grade will be similar to what it is today. When the project is finished, pedestrians will not seethe road from the trail. With respect to traffic,-31 homes generate far fewer cars than a school would have. He confirmed there would be a 4-way stop at Lark. He was unable to address the concern regarding the cranes. Mr. Esperanza asked if they could request a safer crossing from the north(sic) side of Lark into the park area. Chairman Wimberly suggested he speak with Engineering staff and closed the public hearing. Commissioner Munoz expressed support and no issues. Commissioner Howdyshell expressed support and said there are peak times of traffic with schools in area. She said the cranes even appear in her backyard, an existing developed area. Commissioner Munoz said traffic exists today and the use being proposed is minimal impact added to what is already there. Commissioner Fletcher said when house product comes in the other issues can be considered. He said it is a nice, compatible use of the land and he has no issues with the request. Item A-4 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES „o MARCH 11, 2015 UC"ON`A Page 5 Commissioner Oaxaca said he supports the Engineering Department decision to accept the lots for the LMD: it provides a safer line of sight and a better guarantee of good landscaping with safe tree heights. Candyce Burnett, Planning Director said the future development will be responsible for the mitigation measures. She said one such mitigation requires them to do a survey of migratory birds on the site. Chairman Wimberly concurred and said the project meets the needed criteria:the proposal is viable and waiting for housing product. Moved by Howdyshell, seconded by Fletcher, carried 5-0 to adopt Resolutions 15-20 and 15-21 approving Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 and Variance DRC2014-01117 as amended with Standard Condition #18. The Commission also adopted Resolution 15-18 • recommending approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2014-00560 and Resolution 15- 19 for Victoria Community Plan Amendment DRC2014-00561 to be forwarded to the City Council for final action as well as the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts.

Proiect Background: The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18034 and adopted the related Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts on December 13, 2006. The City Council approved the Final Map for the subdivision on November 5, 2014. The San Bernardino County Assessor recorded the Final Map on December 10, 2014. The proposed project is in substantial conformance with the originally approved Tentative Tract Map including the grading for the residences on the individual lots. E. Site Characteristics: The 3.83 acre project site is located on the southwest comer of East Avenue and Chickasaw Road. Thesite is vacant, generally drains from north to south and is approximately 625 feet from east to west and 245 feet from north to south. The 210 Freeway runs adjacent to the south property line of the project site. ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant is requesting architectural and site plan review of 7 single-family residences. The project is designed to comply with all related development criteria for the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the street side yard setback for the residence on Lot #7. Lot #7 is irregularly shaped due to an approximate 50-foot encroachment into Lot#7 along a portion of the east property line by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans. The irregular shape of the lot makes it difficult to develop Lot#7 without the approval of a Variance. The majority of the proposed single-family residence on Lot #7 will meet the required 25-foot street side yard setback, except for the rear portion of the residence which will encroach 7 feet into the setback. Itam R-n7 .y PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ® DRC2014-00168, DRC2014-00403& DRC2015-00103 JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 3 The lots range in size from 23,870 to 25,959 square feet and the units range in size from 3,503 to 3,804 square feet. Each plan is single-story with lot coverage ranging from 18.24 to 22.84 percent, below the maximum 25 percent permitted lot coverage. The project will be accessed by an existing public street, Chickasaw Road, and all on-site improvements, including the equestrian trails, will be maintained by the individual homeowners. Horse corrals are plotted on each lot which comply with the required 70-foot separation distance from the residences on the adjacent lots. A 15-foot wide equestrian trail will be constructed along the south property line of the project site which connects to an existing equestrian trail along the west property line. There will be a 16-foot tall sound wall on the south side of the equestrian trail and a 6-foot tall garden wall on the north side of the equestrian trail, each of which will be constructed of split face block where these walls either face the equestrian trail or are visible from public view as shown on the Wall Plan (Exhibit E). A view obscuring wrought iron gate will be included on each lot to access and maintain the equestrian trail. Lot #1 includes a triangular piece of land that is separated from the remainder of the lot by the equestrian trail. The future homeowner of Lot #1 will be responsible for the maintenance of this area. A gate has been added to access and secure this area from the equestrian trail. The project includes two floor plans with three different architectural styles per floor plan • including Spanish, Tuscan and Country. Each architectural style includes multiple design elements that emphasize and enhance the overall design theme including stone veneer, wrought iron and wood siding. Each plan includes roof and wall plane articulation along with 3 color schemes to provide visual interest. The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 require that the applicant plant a eucalyptus windrow along the equestrian trail, on the north side of the wall dividing the yard area from the equestrian trail. The project site is in a high fire hazard area as determined by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department (RCFPD), which requires that the spacing between the trees be increased to reduce the potential fire hazard. The Landscape plan shows the required trees at the spacing (30 foot on center) approved by the RCFPD (Exhibit E). The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 also include a requirement to construct a sound wall along the Caltrans right-of-way. The wall will be maintained by the individual property owners, with Caltrans managing graffiti removal and landscape maintenance along their right-of-way. The applicant has submitted a follow-up sound study (Urban Crossroads, September 3, 2014) to the sound study that was submitted for the original tentative tract map approval (Urban Crossroads, March 1, 2006) that reviewed the adequacy of the proposed 16- foot tall sound wall and makes recommendations to bring the interior noise levels of the residences into compliance with the City's interior noise standards. The sound study concludes that with a 16-foot sound wall along the 210 Freeway right-of-way and 6-foot high garden walls along the west property line of Lot #1 and east property line of Lot #7, the expected exterior noise levels will be in compliance with the City's 60 dBA exterior noise level standards for residential development. The sound study also made recommendations to bring the interior • noise levels of the proposed residences into compliance with the City's 45 dBA interior noise level standards for residential development. These measures include the installation of windows Item B-D3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ORC2014-00168, DRC2014-00403& DRC2015-00103 JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 4 with a minimum sound transmission class (STC) rating of 32, interior insulation in the attic space with a minimum rating of R-19, exterior doors that are at least 1 '/ inch thick and a forced air circulation system (e.g. air conditioning). With the implementation of each of these mitigation measures, the project is expected to comply with the City's 45 dBA interior noise level standards for residential development. Standard Conditions of Approval for the project require that the applicant submit a final sound study at the time of Building Department plan check certifying that the construction drawings are in accordance with the sound study recommendations and that a post construction sound study be performed prior to final release for occupancy certifying that each residence is in compliance with the City's noise standards. B. VARIANCE DRC2014-00403: The project includes an application for a Variance to reduce the required 25-foot street side yard setback of Lot#7 by 7 feet. The reduction is necessary due to an approximate 40-foot encroachment into a portion of the project site by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans. The applicant has skewed the house on Lot #7 to reduce the required setback reduction to the greatest extent possible. The findings of fact below support the necessary findings, which are required by the City's Development Code: Finding: The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objective of this Code. Fact: There is a parcel of land along the public right-of-way of East Avenue owned by Caltrans which encroaches approximately 40 feet into a portion of Lot #7 of Tract Map 18034. Without a reduction in the 25 foot comer side yard setback requirement for Lot #7, it would be difficult to develop a residence on the lot that is of similar size to those in the surrounding area and in the same zone. Findin : There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. Fact: There is a parcel of land owned by Caltrans which encroaches approximately 40 feet into a portion of Lot #7. This encroachment makes this portion of the lot much narrower than the surrounding lots and that of other lots in the same zone. Findinc x The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in same zone. Fact: Without the reduction in the corner side yard setback requirement, the applicant would be limited to building a residence that is much narrower than the residences in the surrounding area and of other lots in the same zone. Finding The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Item R—rld PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT • ORC2014-00168, DRC2014-00403& DRC2015-00103 JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 5 Fact: The proposed reduction in the corner side yard setback will allow the applicant to develop a house with a width no greater than that of the other lots in the surrounding area or within the same zone. It is common practice to grant setback Variances where there are unusual right-of- way encroachments into private property such as right turn lanes and bus stops. In this case a parcel of land owned by Caltrans encroaches approximately 40 feet into a portion of the project site. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Fact: The applicant proposes building a single-family residence which will not be out of character to the other houses in the surrounding area and will meet all the related development criteria of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the corner side yard setback requirement. The reduction in the corner side yard setback with not negatively impact the ability of the residence to meet the interior noise levels from East Avenue outlined in the Development Code. C. VARIANCE DRC2015-00103: The project site is adjacent to the 210 Freeway and within an area with noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Figure PS-9. An acoustical analysis was completed for the project that concluded that with a 16-foot tall perimeter wall along the 210 Freeway right-of-way, the project would comply with the City's residential noise standards (Urban Crossroads March 1, 2006 and September 3, 2014). The wall is also a required mitigation measure included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the previously approved tentative tract map (SUBTT18034). The wall is designed to match the existing sound walls adjacent to the 210 Freeway. The findings of fact below support the necessary findings, which are required by the City's Development Code: Finding: The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objective of this Code. Fact: The additional wall height is necessary to attenuate noise from the 210 Freeway to a level that is less than 65 dBA CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) as specified in the Development Code. Without the additional wall height, the future homeowners would be subjected to noise levels in excess of those determined acceptable by the General Plan. There is no practical alternative to the proposed sound wall that will achieve the desired noise attenuation. Finding: There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. Fact: The project site is located directly adjacent to the 210 Freeway right-of-way, which exposes the future residences to elevated noise levels (approximately 71 dBA) not generally faced by other residences in the surrounding area or the City. Item B—D5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2014-00168, DRC2014-00403& DRC2015-00103 JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 6 Findincr The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of. the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in same zone. Fact: Without the additional wall height, the future homeowners would be exposed to exterior noise levels in excess of 65 dBa, negatively impacting the future homeowner's ability to enjoy and use their yard areas. Furthermore, the effectiveness of noise attenuating materials used in the construction of the homes is augmented by the presence of the noise attenuating perimeter wall. The absence of the wall would reduce the effectiveness of noise mitigation measures and expose the occupants of the homes to elevated interior noise levels. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Fact: The 210 Freeway corridor within the City is adjacent to numerous residential properties. Traffic noise impacts along the corridor must be mitigated to levels as described in the Development Code and consistent with the General Plan. The freeway corridor abuts various residential zoning districts including the Very Low(VL) Residential District. Walls of this height or similar are common along the freeway corridor for noise attenuation purposes where residential properties are adjacent to the freeway. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Fact: The additional wall height will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare as it will reduce the freeway noise levels for the adjacent property owners and lots within the surrounding area. The height of the wall as seen from the 210 Freeway will be similar to the height of other noise attenuation walls along the freeway corridor within the City. This wall will be constructed per the decorative design criteria established by Caltrans. D. DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Fletcher, Oaxaca and Granger) on February 17, 2015. The Committee recommended that arches be added to the covered patios of the two Spanish plans to carry over this design element which is used on front elevation. The Committee also requested that the master bedroom window on, the rear elevations of the Spanish plans have an arched header trim cap. The Committee recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission for final review when Staff was satisfied that the recommended changes were completed. The applicant has modified the design of the two Spanish plans to include arches on all of the covered patios and over the garage doors. The master bedroom windows on the rear elevation of each of these plans have also been modified to include an arched header trim cap and decorative arched window shutters. E. TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE: The project was reviewed and approved as presented by the Technical Review Committee on February 17, 2015. Itam R_Ilri PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT • ORC2014-00168, DRC2014-00403 8 DRC2015-00103 JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 7 F. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 2, 2015 to discuss the proposed project. Property owners within 660 feet of the project site were notified of the meeting and approximately 6 residents were in attendance. The residents did not raise any issues regarding the project and were pleased to see that each lot was being developed with a single-story residence. G. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. Staff required the applicant to post a large 4-foot by 8- foot Notice of Filing sign on the property, which was also used to post the City's public hearing notice. H. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on December 13, 2006 in connection with the City's approval of SUBTT18034. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. Staff has evaluated the original approval and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original project was for the subdivision of 3.83 acres of land into 7 lots for the development of single- family residences. The subject project is for the design review of the 7 single-family residences proposed for the approved lots, with no change to the approved tentative tract map. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. The project layout, the number of lots, the associated environmental impacts and originally accepted Mitigation Measures have not changed from the original environmental determination and therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Development Review DRC2014-00168, Variance DRC2014-00403 and Variance DRC2015-00103.

A. Recitals. 1. JEC Enterprises, Inc. filed an application for the approval of Design Review DRC2014- 00168 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 25th day of March 2015 the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW,THEREFORE,it is hereby found,determined,and resolved by the Planning Commission of • the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on March 25, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the southwest comer of East Avenue and Chickasaw Road in the Very Low(VL)Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and b. The 3.83 acre project site generally drains from north to south and is approximately 625 feet from east to west and 245 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, east and west are single-family residences within the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (residences to the east were under construction at the time of this report). To the south is the 210 Freeway; and d. The applicant is requesting architectural and site plan review of 7 single-family residences. The project is designed to comply with all related development criteria for the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the street side yard setback for the residence on Lot #7 and the necessity for a 16-foot tall sound wall along the south property line adjacent to the 210 Freeway right-of-way; and • e. There is an approximate 40-foot encroachment into a portion of Lot#7 along the east property line by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans. This encroachment makes it difficult to develop Lot Item B—D40 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-22 DRC2014-00168 -JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 2 #7 without the approval of a Variance. The applicant is requesting a 7-foot reduction in the required 25- foot street side yard setback; and f. The lots range in size from 23,870 to 25,959 square feet and the units range in size from 3,503 to 3,804 square feet. Each plan is single-story with lot coverage ranging from 18.24 to 22.84 percent, below the maximum 25 percent permitted lot coverage; and g. Horse corrals are plotted on each lot which comply with the required 70-foot separation distance from the residences on the adjacent lots. A 15-foot wide equestrian trail will be constructed along the south property line of the project site which connects to an existing equestrian trail along the west property line; and h. There will be a 16-foot tall sound wall on the south side of the equestrian trail and a 6- foot tall garden wall on the north side of the equestrian trail, each of which will be constructed of split face block where these walls either face the equestrian trail or are visible from public view. A view obscuring wrought iron gate will be included on each lot to access and maintain the equestrian trail; and i. Lot#1 includes a triangular piece of land that is separated-from the remainder of the lot by the equestrian trail. The future homeowner of Lot#1 will be responsible for the maintenance of this area. A gate has been added to access and secure this area from the equestrian trail; and j. The project includes two floor plans with three different architectural styles per floor plan including Spanish,Tuscan and country. Each architectural style includes multiple design elements that emphasize and enhance the overall design theme including stone veneer,wrought iron and wood siding. Each plan includes roof and wall plane articulation along with 3 color schemes to provide visual interest; and k. The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 require that the applicant plant a eucalyptus windrow along the equestrian trail,on the north side of the wall dividing the yard area from the equestrian trail. The project site is in a high fire hazard area as determined by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department (RCFPD), which requires that the spacing between the trees be increased to reduce the potential fire hazard. The Landscape plan shows the required trees at the spacing (30 foot on center) approved by the RCFPD; and I. The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 also include a requirement to construct a 16-foot tall sound wall along the Caltrans right-of-way. The wall will be maintained by the individual property owners with Caltrans managing graffiti removal and landscape maintenance along their right-of-way. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan in that the project site is residentially zoned and is being developed with 7 detached single-family residences in accord with the .1-2 dwelling unit density range permitted within the Very Low (VL) Development District. b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located in that the proposed residential development Itpm a—D41 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-22 DRC2014-00168 -JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 3 is a permitted use within the Very Low(VL) Residential District and is being developed at 1.8 dwelling units per acre, below the maximum permitted 2 dwelling units per acre. C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan including project density,setbacks,and design guidelines. The project,though, requires the approval of two separate Variances. The first(DRC2014- 00403)for a corner side yard setback reduction from 25 feet to 18 feet due to an encroachment into the project site by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans; and, the second (DRC2015-00103), to construct a 16-foot sound wall to attenuate traffic noise from the adjacent 210 Freeway; d. That the proposed design, together with the conditions applicable thereto,will not be detrimental to the public health,safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity in that the lots will be developed with single-family residences in accord with the Very Low (VL) Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and will be of a similar design and density to those in the surrounding neighborhood. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application,together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines,the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on December • 13, 2006 in connection with the City's approval of SUBTT18034. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless:(i)substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or(iii)new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2014- 00168, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original project was for the subdivision of 3.83 acres of land into 7 lots for the development of single-family residences. The subject project is for the design review of the 7 single-family residences proposed for the approved lots with no change to the approved tentative tract map. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant, as the project layout and design have not changed since the original environmental determination. All applicable mitigation measures in the adopted MND will apply to this project. C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the current application.

A. Recitals. 1. JEC Enterprises, Inc. filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2014-00403 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 25th day of March 2015 the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on March 25,2015, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the southwest corner of East Avenue and Chickasaw Road in the Very Low(VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and b. The 3.83 acre project site generally drains from north to south and is approximately 625 feet from east to west and 245 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, east and west are single-family residences within the Very Low(VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan(residences to the east were under construction at the time of this report). To the south is the 210 Freeway; and d. The applicant is requesting architectural and site plan review of 7 single-family residences. The project is designed to comply with all related development criteria for the Very Low Item 13-1351 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-23 DRC2014-00403 —JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 2 (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the street side yard setback for the residence on Lot#7; and e. There is an approximate 40-foot encroachment into Lot#7 along the east property line by a parcel of land owned by Caltrans. This encroachment makes it difficult to develop Lot#7 without the approval of a Variance. The applicant has submitted a Variance (DRC2014-00403) requesting a 7-foot reduction in the required 25-foot street side yard setback. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. There is a parcel of land along the public right-of-way of East Avenue owned by Caltrans which encroaches approximately 40 feet into a portion of Lot#7 of Tract Map 18034. Without a reduction in the 25-foot corner side yard setback requirement for Lot#7, it would be difficult to develop a residence on the lot that is of similar size to those in the surrounding area and in the same zone. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. There is a parcel of land owned by Caltrans which encroaches approximately 40 feet into a portion of Lot#7. This encroachment makes this portion of the lot much narrower than the surrounding lots and that of other lots in the same zone. C. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. Without the reduction in the corner side yard setback requirement,the applicant would be limited to building a residence that is much narrower than the residences in the surrounding area and of other lots in the same zone. d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. The proposed reduction in the corner side yard setback will allow the applicant to develop a house with a width no greater than that of the other lots in the surrounding area or within the same zone. It is common practice to grant setback Variances where there are unusual right-of-way encroachments into private property such as right turn lanes and bus stops. In this case a parcel of land owned by Caltrans encroaches approximately 40 feet into a portion of the project site. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health,safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The applicant proposes building a single-family residence which will not be out of character to the other houses in the surrounding area and will meet all the related development criteria of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the corner side yard setback requirement. The reduction in the comer side yard setback Item 13-1352 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-23 DRC2014-00403-JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 3 with not negatively impact the ability of the residence to meet the interior noise levels from East Avenue outlined in the Development Code. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on December 13, 2006 in connection with the City's approval of SUBTT18034. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts;or(iii)new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2014- 00168,that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not • occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original project was for the subdivision of 3.83 acres of land into 7 lots for the development of single-family residences. The subject project is for the design review of the 7 single-family residences proposed for the approved lots with no change to the approved tentative tract map. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant, as the project layout and design have not changed since the original environmental determination. All applicable mitigation measures in the adopted MND will apply to this project. C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record,the Planning Commission concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the current application. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for a 7-foot reduction in the required 25-foot street side yard setback for Lot#7 of Tract Map 18034 related to the development of a single-family residence on the lot for a site located on the southwest • corner of East Avenue and Chickasaw Road -APN: 225-381-06 and 07.

A. Recitals. 1. JEC Enterprises, Inc.filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2015-00103 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 25th day of March 2015 the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on March 25,2015,including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the southwest corner of East Avenue and Chickasaw Road in the Very Low(VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and b. The 3.83 acre project site generally drains from north to south and is approximately 625 feet from east to west and 245 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, east and west are single-family residences within the Very Low(VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan(residences to the east were under construction at the time of this report). To the south is the 210 Freeway; and d. The applicant is requesting architectural and site plan review of 7 single-family residences. The project is designed to comply with all related development criteria for the Very Low (VL) Zoning District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, except for the street side yard setback for the residence on Lot#7; and Itpm R-r)h7 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-24 DRC2015-00103 -JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 2 e. The Conditions of Approval for Tract Map 18034 include a requirement to construct a 16-foot tall sound wall along the Caltrans right-of-way. The wall will be maintained by the individual property owners with Caltrans managing graffiti removal and landscape maintenance along their right-of-way. The applicant has submitted a Variance(DRC2015-00103)requesting to construct a wall 10 feet taller than the maximum permitted 6 foot tall wall. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. The additional wall height is necessary to attenuate noise from the 210 Freeway to a level that is less than 65 dBA CNEL(Community Noise Equivalent Level)as specified in the Development Code. Without the additional wall height, the future homeowners would be subjected to noise levels in excess of those determined acceptable by the General Plan. There is no practical alternative to the proposed sound wall that will achieve the desired noise attenuation. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. The project site is located directly adjacent to the 210 freeway right- of-way, which exposes the future residences to elevated noise levels (approximately 71 dBA) not generally faced by other residences in the surrounding area or the City. C. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. Without the additional wall height,the future homeowners would be exposed to exterior noise levels in excess of 65 dBa, negatively impacting the future homeowner's ability to enjoy and use their yard areas. Furthermore,the effectiveness of noise attenuating materials used in the construction of the homes is augmented by the presence of the noise attenuating perimeter wall. The absence of the wall would reduce the effectiveness of noise mitigation measures and expose the occupants of the homes to elevated interior noise levels. d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. The 210 Freeway corridor within the City is adjacent to numerous residential properties. Traffic noise impacts along the corridor must be mitigated to levels as described in the Development Code and consistent with the General Plan. The freeway corridor abuts various residential zoning districts including the Very Low(VL) Residential District. Walls of this height or similar are common along the freeway corridor for noise attenuation purposes where residential properties are adjacent to the freeway. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health,safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The additional wall height will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare as it will reduce the freeway noise levels for the adjacent property owners and lots within the surrounding area. The height of the wall as seen from the 210 Freeway will be similar to the height of other noise attenuation walls along Itcm R_r r%q PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-24 DRC2015-00103- JEC ENTERPRISES, INC. March 25, 2015 Page 3 the freeway corridor within the City. This wall will be constructed per the decorative design criteria established by Caltrans. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on December 13, 2006 in connection with the City's approval of SUBTT18034. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts;or(iii)new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Design Review DRC2014- 00168,that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original project was for the subdivision of 3.83 acres of land into 7 lots for the development of single-family residences. The subject project is for the design review of the 7 single-family residences proposed for the approved lots with no change to the approved tentative tract map. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant, as the project layout and design have not changed since the original environmental determination.All applicable mitigation measures in the adopted MND will apply to this project. C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record,the Planning Commission concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the current application. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for a 16-foot tall sound wall along the south property line of Tract Map 18034 for sound attenuation purposes for a site located on the southwest corner of East Avenue and Chickasaw Road - APN: 225-381-06 and 07.
