4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds thatthere is no substantial evidence thatthe project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the Initial Study of
the potential environmental effects of the project was prepared by Applied Planning, Inc. and was
peer -reviewed by The Altum Group, a consultant contracted by the City to review the report. Based
on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was 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. The mitigation measures thatthe applicant will be required to
comply with will reduce potential project environmental impacts. 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 adoptthe Mitigated Negative Declaration. No comments
were received during the public comment period. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures forthe project.
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 Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department
