CORE 5 INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS - A request to construct a 49,745 square-foot
industrial/warehouse building on a vacant 2.43-acre parcel within the Neo Industrial (NI) District. APN:

Vincent Acuna, Associate Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and
presentation (copy on file). He mentioned a revised set of Conditions of Approval were given
to the Commissioners on the dais that contain red lines to Item #5. It pertains to the project
Community Facilities District (CFD). He said the intent of the condition has not changed the
project and it will still be required to join CFD. He mentioned it clarifies and expands the
language regarding joining CFD.
Commissioner Daniels asked about the NE corner on the Exhibit Site Plan and asked what it is.
Vincent Acuna replied it is a transformer pad.
Commissioner Daniels mentioned parking spaces not being adjacent to any entrance to
building. It seems they are trying to meet the requirement, and that is how they met it. He
expressed he likes the project, the way it looks and has no difficulty with it, just the comment on
the parking.
Commissioner Boling stated for clarity, the box north of the transformer is a trash enclosure bin.
Possibly those parking spaces make it easy access for sanitation to get to the bin and pull a
truck in.
Vincent Acuna clarified that north of the transformer is not a trash enclosure bin, it is a parking
space. Trash enclosure is located to the right of truck queuing space from Arrow.
Commissioner Daniels stated that is where the electric vehicle charging station is located. He
said those would be better suited in the parking area.
Vincent Acuna stated the parking stalls could be elsewhere, if the building was redesigned, but
it cannot be located within the existing configuration of that rear parking area.
Commissioner Boling asked why install three EV charging stations in a separate secluded
parking lot that has virtually no access to the building itself for employees.
Vincent Acuna replied there is direct access to the building from that parking lot.
Chair Dopp asked if the northern part of the building goes directly against the property line.
Vincent Acuna answered there is a 5 ft. separation between the building and property line.
Chair Dopp asked if staff is comfortable with northern elevation.
Vincent Acuna answered yes.
Chair Dopp opened public hearing.
John Kelly, Applicant, mentioned they have looked at adding EV stations at that office corner.
He said they do have a site plan the architect has worked up that will allow for two additional
EV stations but has not presented to Vincent at this time. They are working towards it.
Chair Dopp asked was there any consideration to moving that parking lot to be contiguous with
the rest of the parking by switching the square footage from the east to the west in the
warehouse.
HPC/PC MINUTES – March 23, 2022

Draft
John Kelly answered they came up with the best solution at the northwest corner. They did not
want to push building right up to the property line.
Commissioner Daniels wanted to clarify, just east of where the transformer is, there is a door,
would it be accessible to employees.
John Kelly answered it could serve both. It could be accessible from outside as well.
Chair Dopp closed public hearing.
Commissioner Boling expressed his appreciation to the applicant. It’s a nice-looking project.
This is a showcase area. This project reflects the hard work you and staff did. It is appreciated.
Commissioner Daniels concurred with Boling and expressed he likes the project. They did a
very good job. It will be an asset to the community.
Commissioner Morales expressed it is a nice-looking building and liked that they double the
size of the landscaping to 24% because Arrow/Rochester will be important to the visual effect
corridor of our city. It is good for that corner. Nice project.
Vice Chair Williams concurred with her fellow Commissioners. Likes the glazing on the front. It
does not feel as much like a big industrial building. Glad to have it on board.
Chair Dopp commented that some of these smaller warehouse types are actually good for the
city from an economic development perspective. They could come in and do good things for
us. He appreciates more of a mid-size compared to some of the big warehouses in the area.
He also thanked Vincent for his staff report. We did get a letter from the public requesting further
CEQA review. He is comfortable with CEQA exemption.
Motion to adopt by Vice Chair Williams, second by Commissioner Boling, with the proposed
change to Condition of Approval #5. Motion carried unanimously 5-0 vote.
D2. LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, BETWEEN RED HILL
COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AND THE PACIFIC ELECTRIC TRAIL– PACIFIC SUMMIT
FOOTHILL, LLC - A request to allow for a second, one (1) year time extension of a
previously approved Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT16605M) and the first time extension of
associated entitlements related to the project which include: Design Review DRC2012-
00672, Variance DRC2016-00207, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2012-00673 to
subdivide 24.19 acres into 6 parcels for the development of 175 attached condominium
units (Sycamore Heights project) within the Mixed Use (MU) District, located on the north
side of Foothill Boulevard, between Red Hill Country Club Drive and the Pacific Electric
Trail. APNs: 0207-101-13, -17, -24, -25, -31, -34 and -41, and 0207-112-09 and -10. Staff
finds the project to be within the scope of the project covered by a prior Mitigated Negative
Declaration certified by City Council on October 4, 2017 (State Clearinghouse
SCH#2017071010) by Resolutions 17-098 and 17-099 and does not raise or create new
environmental impacts not already considered in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Time
Extension DRC2021-00440).
Mena Abdul-Ahad, Assistant Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and
presentation (copy on file).

Commissioner Daniels mentioned the tentative tract map can have three more extensions. He said
on the project development, if it does not get developed by October 2024, he asked what the
maximum time period would be.
Serita Young, Assistant City Attorney, clarified they are allowed up to six years of tract map
extension requests under state law.
Chair Dopp opened public hearing.
Chad Stadnicki, Applicant, explained there are a lot of parts to this project. He said they are nearing
the completion of the technical details and are in the process of bringing builder on board. He said
the extension will allow them the time to complete those efforts. They are hopeful to get the project
started later this year.
Chair Dopp asked what is left to complete to move the project forward.
Chad Stadnicki replied that they have been processing the grading plans through Engineering and
public improvement plans are in the final stages. He said Architectural plans need to be completed
for construction.
Chair Dopp closed public hearing.
Motion to adopt by Commissioner Boling, second by Commissioner Daniels. Motion carried
unanimously 5-0 vote.
E. General Business
E1. Discussion Regarding Moratorium on New Service Station Development and the Measures
Taken to Alleviate the Need for Interim Ordinance No. 980.
Mike Smith, Principal Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and presentation
(copy on file). Mike provided Commissioners with an informational report on interim
moratorium of gas stations.
Commissioner Daniels suggested marketing analysis to be done to determine how many gas
stations would be appropriate in the city.
Matthew Burris, Deputy City Manager, stated that a market analysis could provide insight on what
the market might look like. We are thinking about larger scale approaches or strategies such as
distance requirements or some cities have limited the number that can occur at key intersections.
Market studies could be helpful information for a specific development.
Commissioner Daniels mentioned late last year the Governor indicated by 2035 vehicles sold in
California would have to be zero emissions. Would a developer want to develop something that
would be obsolete in 15 years.
Matthew Burris answered there is still demand for gas station development.
HPC/PC MINUTES – March 23, 2022

Draft
Commissioner Daniels stated there are some stations with underground tanks that are leaking and
contamination to the soil could be tremendous. He asked if service station owners walk away from
it because of the expense, where does that leave the City and the property.
Mike Smith answered it could leave it undeveloped for decades.
Commissioner Daniels suggested there should be some type of mechanism to foresee that kind of
problem.
Serita Young, Assistant City Attorney, added she is not sure there is a mechanism to prevent or
foresee the problem but there are specific actions and remedies that the City can take under
brownfield laws. They are complicated and involves a lot of procedures, it just takes time.
Commissioner Boling mentioned with regards to market study, often times when projects come
forward, perhaps staff taking on the liaison type role to help ensure the applicant is moving down
the right path. Instead of requiring it, maybe just suggesting such a market study could be done
officially. He said in other jurisdictions, we start seeing industry trends where gas and fuel service
stations are either built or rebuilt and seems to be a trend to add drive thru car washes, who bring
their own issues to the neighborhoods such as traffic, noise, pollution, lights so we need to be
mindful to those considerations.
He said there are a number of gas stations, looking at their proportion of sales of alcohol, likely
drives the Police calls for service. Definitely need to look at overlaying those ABC Licenses and
liquor stores, not just service stations for offsite sales.
Matthew Burris appreciated Commissioner Boling for mentioning this. In some instances, gasoline
sales are more of a mechanism to having a convenience store and accessory car wash and shared
how important alcohol sales are for making their profit margin. The fuel sales are not really the
primary use in terms of business operations. He said maybe we can look into if there is anything
we can do on the code side to inform regulations with some marketing analysis.
Commissioner Boling mentioned in the case of other industries like hotels, Keyser Marston does
plenty of studies to determine what the absorption rate is for hotel rooms. He said it should be done
for service stations.
Matthew Burris added that the reactivation of the gas station at Arrow/Archibald is reactivating as a
gas station because there was nothing else anybody could do with it once it was a gas station.
Perhaps we fast forward to 2036 and nobody is buying gasoline powered vehicles anymore. Might
have a lot of brownfield sites across the city 20 years from now.
Commissioner Daniels asked if the only potential use of that station was another station.
Jennifer Nakamura, Deputy Director of Planning, explained the station at Arrow/Archibald had
been vacant for 10+ years. It experienced a leak and it was a brownfield site. She said when
the developer came in with a proposal to reactivate that gas station, it required a General Plan
Amendment because that site was identified in the General Plan as housing. One of the
findings made for the General Plan amendment was that it was not an appropriate site for
housing but there was really no other good development options because it had previously
been a gas station.

Commissioner Morales stated it was a lot of good information in the report. He said it is clear
that safety impact is significant.
Vice Chair Commissioner asked what kind of calls the Police get from the gas stations.
Mike Smith answered it is part of their follow-up evaluation to find out what those calls are.
Chair Dopp asked what the future of gas and service looks like in terms of transportation. It
will be interesting. He does have mixed feelings about gasoline cars and the impact they have
and also the consequences of electric vehicles. They are still not affordable for many people.
The demand is increasing for electric cars. Not sure if he is comfortable with the City of
Petaluma’s decision to ban gas stations out right. He said moving forward, we have to be
more deliberate as a City at both the Council level and Planning Commission in terms of
thinking about how the sites will look like 10-15 years from now. Hopefully, innovation occurs,
and charging does not take 1 hour. Those are real considerations. It seems to him for every
gas station down the line, one more site takes future revenue opportunities away from the
City. He asked given that we are looking at gateway intersections, has there been
considerations to identify key intersections around the city and banning gas at those specific
parcels.
Mike Smith answered that they are preparing draft standards. Some of the standards relate
to proximate intersections. Also, a minimum size at the site is required.
Serita Young, Assistant City Attorney, mentioned it’s difficult to regulate specific parcels
because Planning and Zoning laws require uniformity. She explained we would not be able
to say; “on this parcel, in this zone you can’t do this, but everywhere else in that particular
zone can do that”. A means to narrow it down where uses can go within a specific zone and
that will apply uniformly throughout an entire zone.
Chair Dopp asked is it fair and legal to place extra restrictions on those intersections relative
to maybe other parts of town.
Serita Young answered that would go back to imposing regulations within a specific zone on
particular parcels that you are not doing with other parcels within the same zone.
With no further discussion, Chair Dopp thanked staff for the updated and report will be filed.
F. Director Announcements - None
G. Commission Announcements
Commissioner Morales and Chair Dopp mentioned they attended the League of California Cities
Commissioner Academy in San Ramon. Expressed it was very productive and appreciated the
opportunity to attend.
Chair Dopp suggested having legislative updates by a Commissioner (if a Commissioner would like
to take it on) or staff member from time to time. If there is a key piece of legislation moving through
from Sacramento that will have an impact on what the Commissioners do, it would be good to be
informed and updated.

Serita Young mentioned she can start sending E-alerts to the Commissioners. Also, they
provide other forms of advice letters to staff. She will leave it up to Jennifer or Matt if they
would like to forward those advice letters to the Commissioners as needed.

DATE: April 13, 2022
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Matthew R. Burris, AICP, Deputy City Manager – Community and Economic
Development/Interim Planning Director
INITIATED BY: Vincent Acuna, Associate Planner
SUBJECT:
LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD AND ETIWANDA AVENUE – WOOD PARTNERS – A
request to construct a mixed-use development comprising of 259
residential units, 2 commercial units totaling 2,253 square-feet, and 1
live/work unit with 816 square feet of non-residential space within the
Mixed-Use Urban Corridor (MU-UCR) District. APNs: 0229-311-14 and -
15. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts has been
prepared for consideration. Design Review DRC2020-00440.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission take the following action:
• Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts and approve Design Review
DRC2020-00440.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request to construct a 260-unit mixed use development with a total of 3,339 square feet of commercial space
at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The 5.2-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue (Exhibit
A – Aerial). The dimensions of the rectangular-shaped property are approximately 330 feet north to south and
690 feet east to west. The site gently slopes from north to south and is covered by low vegetation. The existing
Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows:
PROJECT ANALYSIS:
A. General: The project is comprised of two 4-story buildings. Building 1 is located at the westerly half of the
site and is oriented towards the corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Building 2 is on the
Land Use General Plan Zoning
Site Vacant City Corridor High Mixed-Use Urban Corridor (MU-UCR) District 1
North Vacant City Corridor High Mixed-Use Urban Corridor (MU-UCR) District 1
South Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District
East Single-Family Residences Low Residential Low (L) Residential District
West Shopping Center General Commercial Regional Related Commercial (RRC) District 1
1 – Foothill Boulevard Overlay District, Subarea 4
Page 2 of 6
site’s easterly half and is oriented towards Foothill Boulevard. Both buildings contain an interior courtyard
and are separated by a central paseo running north to south (Exhibit B – Site Plan).
A surface parking lot is proposed along the site’s southern and eastern boundary, as well as a
subterranean parking structure beneath both buildings. The project will have a density of 50 dwelling
units per acre, which is within the residential density range permitted within the City Corridor High General
Plan Designation of 36 to 60 units per acre.
B. Architecture: The two buildings are inspired by the Spanish architectural style. Design features such as
arches, towers, pergolas, fabric awnings, and S-tile roofs consistent with the Spanish architectural
vernacular are applied throughout the two buildings. Building materials include stucco, fabric, and a fiber
cement board material that is meant to evoke the appearance of wood. These building materials are
applied throughout all building elevations, resulting in “360-degree architecture” (Exhibit C – Elevations
and Renderings).
The buildings also incorporate large tower elements at the northwest and northeast corners that outset
from the rest of the building plane and feature pitched roofs and arched windows to enhance the visual
interest. These towers emphasize verticality and provide a sense of architectural importance, especially
at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue. Horizontal articulation along the building
plane as well as vertical articulation along the building’s roofline breaks down the building massing and
creates architectural interest.
C. Unit Composition and Floor Plans: There are 259 residential units proposed (184 one-bedroom units, 55
two-bedroom units, 20 three-bedroom units), as well as 1 live-work unit. The live-work apartment is a
one-bedroom, two-story unit, with a total of 816 square feet of commercial-ready space. Additionally, the
project also proposes two true-commercial units. These two commercial units and the live-work unit are
located on the project’s first-story frontage along Foothill Boulevard, at the northeast corner of Building 1
and the northwest corner of Building 2. The total commercial square footage for the project including the
live-work unit is 3,339 square feet. Floor to ceiling storefront glass is incorporated along the entire façade
of the two commercial units and the live work unit in order to emphasize the non-residential nature of
these spaces.
D. Recreation Amenities:
Resident amenities include a business center, gym, a pool/spa, an open grass recreation area, a
children’s play area, a common fireplace, and a fenced dog run. A central pedestrian paseo running north
to south is also proposed between the two buildings. This pedestrian paseo features various seating and
patio furniture. A publicly accessible pocket park is also proposed between the two buildings, towards
the northerly portion of the project site (Exhibit D – Amenities Exhibit)
E. Fencing and Access:
One of the key focal points emphasized throughout the General Plan emphasizes is connectivity and
creating complete neighborhoods with each new increment of residential development. The proposed
project has managed to implement these characteristics to the best extent possible, giving the current
site conditions and constraints. The most notable is the ungated circulation throughout the project. The
surface parking lot, which extends from Etiwanda Avenue along the south property to Foothill Boulevard
along the east property line is ungated. Additionally, the central paseo between the two buildings will also
be ungated. The only exceptions will occur at the entrance to the subterranean parking structure, and at
the private resident courtyards. Aside from these areas, the project will include an open circulation design
for pedestrians and vehicles that will help facilitate strong connectivity and permeability throughout the
site. The open circulation will also assist with improving emergency access to the site to better serve the
safety needs of the community.
Page 3 of 6
The project will also include two new 6-foot-high decorative perimeter block walls along the south and
the east property lines between the project site and the existing single-family neighborhoods. Along the
south and east property lines there are es currently a variety of wood fences and chain link fences.
Insome instances there are gaps where no fencing exists. Replacing this fencing with new block walls
will provide an improvement along the rear yards of the adjacent residential properties (Exhibit E – Wall
and Fence Plan).
F. Compliance with Technical Development Standards: The project was deemed complete on May 12,
2021. This occurred prior to the City Council’s adoption on September 1, 2021of interim development
standards for Mixed Use zoning districts. These interim standards ultimately became effective on
October 15, 2021. Therefore, the development standards in effect for Mixed Use zoning districts prior to
October 15, 2021, are applied to this project. As demonstrated in the table below, the project complies
with all Development Code requirements effective at the time the project was deemed Complete.

G. Parking: Per the Development Code, the project is required to provide 528 parking spaces with 280 of
the spaces required to be covered (i.e., in a garage or carport). Previous iterations of the project, including
the version that was presented to the Design Review Committee (see Section I of this report) and at
neighborhood meetings (see Section J of this report) included a request for a 12% reduction in the on-
site parking requirement subject to the review and approval of a Minor Exception application.
A 12% reduction would result in the project providing 465 parking spaces. Of this number of parking
spaces, 265 would have been provided in an underground garage. The outcome of this reduction would
have been a parking deficiency of 63 spaces.
Following the Design Review Committee and neighborhood meetings, the applicant in coordination with
City staff, responded to the concerns about the parking by revising the proposal and expanding the
capacity of the underground parking structure by 63 spaces. This revision results in the project now
complying with all parking requirements described in the Development Code. The project now provides
all 528 parking spaces with 328 of the spaces being covered. As the reduction in the on-site parking
requirement is no longer proposed, the associated application for the Minor Exception has been
withdrawn from consideration. The table below summarizes the parking calculation for the project.

The project has adequate parking for all proposed uses, as it meets all parking required by the
Development Code. In order to ensure that on-site parking is properly managed, the applicant has
provided a Parking Management Plan (Exhibit F – Parking Management Plan). This Parking Management
Plan outlines how residential, guest, and commercial parking spaces are assigned, and details
enforcement actions that apartment management can take in response to any potential parking violations.
Furthermore, in the event that there are problems or concerns with parking, a Condition of Approval has
been added to the project which allows the City to reserve the right to require the preparation of off-site,
on-street parking restrictions such as, but not limited to, signs indicating no parking, signs indicating time-
restricted parking, red curbing the adjacent streets, any necessary street repairs/improvements, or the
establishment of a parking district at the cost of the property owner/developer.
Staff believes the applicant has been diligent in addressing the parking concerns by meeting the parking
requirements, additionally, with the inclusion of the parking management plan, Staff believes there are
adequate tools to address any parking related concerns in the future. The Parking Management Plan and
parking study have been reviewed by the Planning Department and Engineering Services Department.
H. Public Art: This project is required to provide public art as outlined in Chapter 17.124 of the Development
Code. Based on the number of residential units and commercial square footage for this project, the total
art value required per Section 17.124.020.C. is $198,339. A condition has been included pursuant to the
Development Code that requires the public art requirement to be fulfilled prior to occupancy.
I. Design Review Committee: The project was first reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC –
Williams and Guglielmo) on June 1, 2021. During this meeting, the committee expressed concerns
regarding the project’s recreational amenities, the amount of commercial square footage (floor area),
building articulation, the reduction in parking, and community outreach (Exhibit G – DRC minutes
06/01/2021). The Committee voted to require the project to go through a second round of Committee
review to ensure that the applicant had addressed the concerns expressed by the Committee.
On July 20, 2021, the project returned for the requested follow-up review by the Committee. Revised
project plans which included a modified color palate to break up the building massing, a revised amenities
list which incorporates a dog park and a tot lot, and an increase in the square footage for commercial
space were presented to the Committee. The Committee was pleased with the applicant’s
Page 5 of 6
responsiveness to the Committee’s comments and voted to move the project forward as proposed to the
full Planning Commission for consideration (Exhibit H – DRC minutes 07/20/2021).
J. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was conducted for the project via teleconference on
March 30, 2021. The meeting was held virtually in compliance with State and San Bernardino County
Health Department’s restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting had 11 attendees.
Attendees asked questions about the project’s entitlement process and potential parking impacts to the
surrounding single-family neighborhood. One attendee expressed their opposition to the development
due to the parking overflow that the project may cause to the single-family neighborhood directly south
of the project site.
With the lifting of pandemic restrictions on physical gathering, a second neighborhood meeting was
conducted at the project site on August 9, 2021. This neighborhood meeting occurred in-person to
provide nearby residents a better understanding of the project in relation to the project site. This was
also another opportunity for the residents to express their opinion on the development prior to the
Planning Commission hearing. There was a total of 13 participants in attendance at this meeting. Several
residents expressed concerns regarding the potential overflow parking issues from the project that may
arise in the surrounding single-family neighborhood. There were also discussions regarding the potential
loss of views and privacy on the single-family lots immediately adjacent to the development. Additionally,
a few residents expressed the need for the project to provide publicly accessible amenities that serve not
only the renters of the apartment complex, but also the surrounding community.
In response to residents’ concerns regarding publicly accessible amenities, the applicant agreed remove
the gate immediately south of the proposed pocket park along Foothill Boulevard, making the pedestrian
paseo between Buildings 1 and 2 publicly accessible. A publicly accessible bocce ball court along the
parkway adjacent to Foothill Boulevard has also been incorporated.
As discussed in the parking section of the staff report (see Section G of this report), in response to the
comments received during these meetings, the applicant also expanded the capacity of the underground
parking garage by enlarging it to allow for an additional 63 parking spaces. These modifications enabled
the project to meet the parking requirements of the Development Code. Additionally, the applicant also
reiterated their commitment to strictly enforcing the Parking Management Plan, which includes requiring
all residents to list the exact number of cars in their possession and advising guests to not park off-site,
in an effort to mitigate any adverse parking impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.
CEQA DETERMINATION:
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 biological
resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, noise, and tribal and cultural resources, 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 (MND) was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff
provided public notice of the public comment period which started on September 1, 2021 and ended on October
1, 2021, and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The City received a letter from Lozeau
Drury LLP, Mitchell Tsai Attorney at Law, and the Inland Empire Biking Alliance during the public comment
period.
Responses to these comments were incorporated in a revised Mitigated Negative Declaration, which was
recirculated from February 8, 2022, through February 28, 2022. Letters were received from the Cucamonga
Valley Water District and Mitchel Tsai, Attorney at Law representing the Southwest Regional Council of
Page 6 of 6
Carpenters during the recirculation period. Responses to these comments have also been prepared and included
in the final response to comments section of the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff believes the
Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately addresses all potential environmental impacts and has incorporated
the necessary mitigations to minimize such impacts.
The recirculation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration further shows the applicant’s commitment to ensuring the
environmental impacts are addressed. 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 with a regular legal advertisement 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. To date, no written correspondence, phone calls, or in person inquiries have been received
regarding the project notifications.
As required by Assembly Bill 52 (AB52), the City submitted Tribal Consultation Requests to the San Gabriel
Band of Mission Indians, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, Torres Martinez
Desert Cahuilla Indians, Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation, and the Morongo Band of Mission
Indian following a completeness determination for the project. The notices were mailed out on January 20, 2021
and provided for a 30-day comment period ending on February 20, 2021.
On June 15, 2021, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians responded to the notice and requested that mitigation
measures related to archeological/cultural resources be incorporated into the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration. These mitigation measures were incorporated in the attached Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration. On the same day, the City also received correspondence from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission
Indians – Kizh Nation requesting for consultation. The City responded to the consultation request but received
no response from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation. Therefore, standard Mitigation
Measures provided by Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation that were incorporated on previous
developments within the City were incorporated into the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for this
project.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This project supports the City Council goal related to the completion of the General Plan and Housing Element
by implementing a project that incorporates the vision and many goals and objectives of the General Plan.

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 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. 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.
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.
