APN: 1061-571-01,
A. Recitals.
1. Jim Banker filed an application for the approval of Minor Exception DRC2018-00934, as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Minor Exception
request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 10th day of July 2019, 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 July 10, 2019, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 3.04-acre project site located on the south side of
Hillside Road at 9611 Hillside Road in the Very Low (VL) District; and
b. The site is generally rectangular in shape and is approximately 328 feet from east
to west and 377 feet from north to south. The project site generally slopes from north to south, with
an elevation change of approximately 33 feet from the north property line (1,865 feet) to the south
property line (1,832 feet); and
C. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site

d. The applicant is requesting to subdivide the 3.04-acre project site into 4 parcels for
the future development of 3 single-family residences on parcels #1 thru #3, with the existing single-
family residence (Grandma Issak House) located on parcel #4; and
e. The new parcels comply the development standards for the Very Low (VL)
Residential District, except for lot depth on parcels #2 and #3 and the need for perimeter walls in
excess of the permitted 6-foot height limit; and
f. The project includes Minor Exception DRC2018-00934 for the additional wall height
above the maximum 6 feet permitted in residential districts.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above -referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The minor exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific
plan or Development Agreement. The proposed increase in the maximum permitted wall height is
consistent with the Very Low (VL) General Plan land use designation. The additional wall height is
necessary due to an existing 33-foot grade change between the north and south property lines; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in
the surrounding area. The proposed subdivision of the project site for the future development of
single-family residences is in keeping with the surrounding residential land uses. The new parcels
will be of similar size and layout to those in the surrounding area. The additional wall height is
necessary due to the existing onsite grades; and
c. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. The additional wall height is necessary to make up forthe 33-
foot grade change on the existing project site and to increase the usable yard areas on each parcel.
Without the additional wall height, onsite slopes would greatly reduce the usable yard area; and
d. The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious properties or improvements in
the vicinity. The proposed additional wall height will not be a grant of special privilege as
exceptions to the permitted wall height have been approved throughout the community when it can
be demonstrated that there is a grade difference between adjacent parcels of land. Up to 6-foot-high
retaining walls are required due to the existing onsite grades. The additional wall height will not
negatively impact the surrounding property owners as the proposed combination walls (block
retaining walls topped by wrought iron fences) are designed to reduce the appearance of the
additional wall height.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-44
MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2018-00934 - JIM BANKER
July 10, 2019
Page 3
will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's
determination is based, is the Planning Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those
documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone
(909) 477-2750.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the
attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 10TH DAY OF JULY 2019.

Treatment Control BMPs utilizing infiltration [exclusive of incidental infiltration and BMPs not
designed to primarily function as infiltration devices (such as grassy swales, detention basins,
vegetated buffer strips, constructed wetlands, etc.)] must comply with the following minimum
requirements to protect groundwater:
a. Use of structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
ground water quality objectives.
b. Source control and pollution prevention control BMPs shall be implemented to protect
groundwater quality. The need for pre-treatment BMPs such as sedimentation or filtration should be
evaluated prior to infiltration.
c. Adequate pretreatment of runoff prior to infiltration shall be required in gas stations and large
commercial parking lots. (NOTE: The State Water Quality Control Board defines a large commercial
parking lot as '100,000 sq. ft. or more of commercial development to include parking lot (with 100 or
more vehicle traffics), OR, by means of 5,000sgft or more of allowable space designated for parking
purposes').
d. Unless adequate pre-treatment of runoff is provided prior to infiltration structural infiltration
treatment BMPs must not be used for areas of industrial or light industrial activity{77), areas subject
to high vehicular traffic (25,000 or more daily traffic); car washes; fleet storage areas; nurseries; or
any other high threat to water quality land uses or activities.
e. Class V injection wells or dry wells must not be placed in areas subject to vehicular(78) repair or
maintenance activities{79), such as an auto body repair shop, automotive repair shop, new and
used car dealership, specialty repair shop (e.g., transmission and muffler repair shop) or any facility
that does any vehicular repair work.

41. DESIGN ISSUE; The average high ground water level for the subject property is 35-feet below the
surface of the ground. Therefore prior to the issuance of any building permit, the applicant shall
provide as a project condition of approval a separate On -Site Wastewater Treatment System
(OWTS), i.e. a septic plan, showing the maximum depth of any proposed seepage pits to be 10-feet
above the average high ground water level (or 25-feet below the existing ground surface). Note: the
proposed project is lowering the existing ground level approximately 4-feet in the locations of the
proposed seepage pits. With the average inlet depth into the pits of 4-feet below grade the usable
seepage pit depth is 25-feet to ground water minus 4-feet of lowered grade minus 4-feet inlet pipe
minus 10-feet pit above ground water) is 17-feet. For the house as proposed with approximately 5 to
6 bedrooms a 1,500 gallon septic tank is required. Assuming the pits are 7-feet in diameter with a
necessary pit depth of 42-feet, four (4) seepage pits will be required using the City of Rancho
Cucamonga standard design criteria. NOTE: The City of Rancho Cucamonga has adopted a Local
Agency Management Program for On -Site Wastewater Treatment Systems (LAMP OWTS),
effective September 17, 2018 which will requires site specific percolation testing after rough grading
for residential subdivisions. A copy of the LAMP OWTS is available on the Building and Safety
webpage.
42. The two parcels fronting Hillside Avenue shall have a sewer lateral connection to the public
sewer in Hillside Avenue. In the event that the lot is too low for a gravity sewer, a sewage pump
system shall be installed. As the Cucamonga Valley Water District will not support a public sewer lift
station, the two southerly parcels may be constructed with onsite wastewater
treatment (i.e.) septic systems (OWTS). The OWTS shall be constructed at the southerly side of the
lots to allow for a future sewer lateral connection to a future sewer main in Klusman Court.
