Recitals. 1. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has prepared a set of amendments, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Municipal Code Amendment is referred to as "the Amendments". 2. On April 27, 2022, 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 the Planning Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on April 27, 2022, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The City adopted a new General Plan, Climate Action Plan and Housing Element on December 15, 2021.; b. State law requires cities to adopt development or zoning codes that are consistent with their General Plan; PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2022-14 DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA April 27, 2022 Page 2 c. The City is proposing to amend its current Development Code, Zoning Map and related special planning documents to be consistent with the adopted General Plan; d. The City prepared the Amendments, which are included as Attachments A and B to this Resolution and are hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full; e. The proposed Development Code Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, amendment of special planning documents (Specific Plans, Master Plans, and Planned Communities) conform to and do not conflict with the General Plan, including without limitation, the Land Use Element thereof (as amended), and will provide for development in a manner consistent with the General Plan; f. The Development Code Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment are also consistent with the proposed Planning Community, Specific Plan, and Master Plan amendments included herein. 3. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to the General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2021050261) has been prepared. The addendum concludes that the proposed changes do not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects beyond what was analyzed in the certified EIR. No new information has become available and no substantial changes to the circumstances under which implementation of the General Plan was being undertaken since the certification of the EIR have occurred. The proposed project would not substantially increase the severity of effects relative to the environmental topics analyzed in the Certified EIR, nor would the project require new mitigation measures or alternatives. As a consequence, an addendum is the appropriate level of environmental review. Based on this evidence and all the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission concurs with the Planning Department staff's determination that the Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further environmental review under CEQA. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed addendum. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the Municipal Code Amendment as indicated in Attachment A incorporated herein by this reference. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the Zoning Map Amendment as indicated in Attachment B incorporated herein by this reference. 6. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council repeal the Etiwanda Highlands Planned Unit Development, Etiwanda North Specific Plan, Etiwanda Specific Plan, Terra Vista Community Plan,Town Square Master Plan,Victoria Arbors Master Plan, and Victoria Community Plan. 7. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve a Specific Plan Amendment amending the boundaries of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan (previously called the IASP Sub-Area 18 Specific Plan) and renaming the plan The Resort Specific Plan as indicated in Attachment C incorporated herein by this reference.
