Sincerely, Joe Gambill Wood Partners Exhibit A SUBJECT: HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW – PETE VOLBEDA – A request to construct a 3,999 square foot single-family residence with two separate attached garages totaling 901 square feet on a vacant property of 12,044 square feet (0.28-acre) within the Low (L) Residential Zone and Hillside Overlay located on the north side of Camino Predera – APN: 0207-641-12. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures (DRC2021-00297). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution 22-31 approving the proposed single-family residence on the vacant parcel of land on the north side of Camino Predera, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff notes that the subject project was deemed complete in September, 2022. As such, this project is not eligible to utilize the optional standards or any other regulations established by Ordinance 1012 which amended and incorporated certain hillside development standards and procedures within the newly established Camino Predera Overlay. Ordinance 1012 was adopted by the City Council on November 16, 2022 and becomes effective December 16, 2022. The subject item is a request to construct a 3,999 square foot single-family residence with two separate attached garages totaling 901 square feet on a vacant property of 12,044 square feet (0.28-acre). The project site is situated within the Low (L) residential Zone and Hillside Overlay located on the north side of Camino Predera. The project requires Planning Commission review due to the grading design including over 5 feet of cut or fill pursuant to Section 17.122.020.G.1.i of the Development Code. The additional grading is reasonable and necessary due to the slope of the existing lot and to lower the overall profile of the structure. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The 12,044-square-foot project site is located on the north side of Camino Predera and is currently vacant. The property’s dimensions are approximately 82 feet in width along the north property line, 92 feet along the south property line, and 138 feet along the east and west property lines. The downslope lot has an elevation of 1,345 feet as measured at the north property line and 1,317 feet at the curb face on Camino Predera, for a total grade change of 28 feet. The street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) have been installed along Camino Predera, except for the street trees and parkway landscaping. DATE: December 13, 2022 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Matt Marquez, Director of Planning and Economic Development INITIATED BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT HDR DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA December 13, 2022 Page 2 The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Land Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential North Single-Family Residences Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential South Vacant land Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential East Single-Family Residence Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential West Single-Family Residence Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential ANALYSIS: Project Overview: The applicant proposes constructing a 3,999-square-foot single-family residence with two attached garages totaling 901 square feet. Architecture: The proposed residence has a modern architectural design theme, which includes a flat roof, stucco finish, metal facia, glass railings, and a glass and metal garage door. The residence was designed in compliance with the Hillside Design Guidelines (Section 17.122.020.D.2), including stepping the building pads to follow the existing slope/terrain of the subject property and the use of a flat roof to limit the overall height and profile. The building mass is broken up through the use of multiple wall plane changes and the incorporation of a deck on the front elevation. The residence will be painted earth-tone colors, as recommended in the Hillside Design Guidelines, and will be in keeping with the existing residences along Camino Predera, which include a variety of architectural styles and themes. The front entrance of the house is on the second level and is accessed by an exterior stairway. The driveway has a maximum slope of 10 percent which leads to a two-car head-in garage and a one-car side entrance garage. Hillside Development Standard 17.122.020.C.1.d. states that driveways with grades up to 20 percent are permitted when they are aligned with the natural contours of the lot and are necessary to achieve site design goals Development Code Compliance: The project complies with the requirements of the Low (L) Residential Zone. The required development standards are as follows: Proposed Project Development Code Compliant? Building Height 22 Feet 30 Feet YES Front Setback 38 Feet 37 feet (+/- 5 feet) YES Side Setbacks 5/10 Feet 5/10 Feet YES Rear Setback 76 feet 20 Feet YES Excavation 8.3 Feet 5 Feet NO* Retaining Wall 4 Feet 4 Feet YES Street Facing Garage 1 Two Car N/A YES PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT HDR DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA December 13, 2022 Page 3 Lot Coverage 35.3 Percent 40 Percent YES House Square Feet 3,999 Square Feet Lot Coverage YES Garage Square Feet 901 Square Feet Lot Coverage YES Deck SF 500 Square Feet Lot Coverage YES *Pursuant to Section 17.122.020.G.1.i of the Development Code, cut or fill over 5 feet requires Planning Commission Approval Grading and Site Planning: The proposed grading requires a cut of 2,046 cubic yards and 5 cubic yards of fill. The large amount of cut is required to lower the overall profile of the house as seen from the street and from the properties to the north. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the grade, with the upper pad at an elevation of 1,331 feet and the lower pad at an elevation of 1,318, in conformance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.a to terrace the building to follow the slope. Retaining walls are proposed to be below the 4-foot height limit for hillside lots and are necessary to construct the driveway, the foundation of the house, and along the side property lines. Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.G.1.J.ii permits up to 4-foot-high retaining walls upslope from the residence. The proposed landscaping is designed to comply with Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.F, including the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect slopes from erosion and the planting of shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The proposed landscaping also complies with the front yard landscape requirements, including reducing hardscape to less than 50 percent of the front yard area. Hillside Overlay Compliance: The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay, which seeks to facilitate the appropriate development of hillside areas. The project site is an upslope lot with an elevation change of approximately 28 feet from the north to south property lines. To lower the overall height and profile of the residence, up to 8.3 feet of cut is required. Cut or fill over 5 feet requires Planning Commission review and approval. The proposed design does not require any Variances or Minor Exceptions to allow for deviations from the technical requirements of the Development Code, and the overall size of the residence is in keeping with the more recent residences constructed along Camino Predera. Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.e requires that residences in the Hillside Overlay be designed to fit within a 30-foot-high building envelope. The applicant has provided two north-south and two east-west cross-sections with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with the 30- foot height requirement. The applicant has designed the residence to be sensitive to the potential for view obstructions as seen from Camino Predera and the existing properties to the north, despite the fact that the Development Code does not include a view preservation ordinance. The residence has a maximum height of 22 feet above the adjacent finished grade. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT HDR DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA December 13, 2022 Page 4 Landscaping: The proposed landscaping is designed to comply with Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.F., including the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect slopes from erosion and planting shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The project is not within the High Fire Hazard Zone or a wildland-urban interface area. The proposed landscaping also complies with the front yard landscape requirements, including reducing hardscape to less than 50 percent of the front yard area. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on October 18, 2022. Two members of the public were in attendance and were complementary to the proposed design. The Committee recommended that the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final review and approval as presented. Public Art: Residential development of 3 or fewer units is exempt from Chapter 17.124 (Design Provisions for Public Art). Environmental Assessment: The Planning and Economic Development Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, which permits the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone. The project is for the construction of a single- family residence in a residential zone and there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: The proposed single-family residence will meet the City Council's core values of providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all, building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, and relentless pursuit of improvement. The proposed project provides a well-designed single-family residence that will complement the existing development in the surrounding area. 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.

A.Recitals. 1.Pete Volbeda filed an application for the approval of Hillside Design Review DRC2021- 00297, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Hillside Design Review request is referred to as "the application." 2.On the 13th day of December 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 this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on December 13, 2022, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a.The applicant is requesting to construct a 3,999 square foot single-family residence with two attached garages totaling 901square foot garage on a 12,044 square foot lot within the Low (L) Residential Zone and Hillside Overlay; and b.The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Land Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential North Single-Family Residences Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential South Vacant land Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential East Single-Family Residence Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential West Single-Family Residence Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Residential Exhibit D PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 22-31 HDR DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA December 13, 2022 Page 2 c. The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay, which seeks to facilitate the appropriate development of hillside areas. The project site is an upslope lot with an elevation change of approximately 28 feet from the north to south property lines. To lower the overall height and profile of the residence, up to 8.3 feet of cut is required. Cut or fill over 5 feet requires Planning Commission review and approval. The proposed design does not require any Variances or Minor Exceptions to allow for deviations from the technical requirements of the Development Code, and the overall size of the residence is in keeping with the more recent residences constructed along Camino Predera; and d. The proposed grading requires a cut of 2,046 cubic yards and 5 cubic yards of fill. The large amount of cut is required to lower the overall profile of the house as seen from the street and from the properties to the north. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the grade, with the upper pad at an elevation of 1,331 feet and the lower pad at an elevation of 1,318, in conformance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.a to terrace the building to follow the slope; and e. The residence is in compliance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.e., which requires that residences in the Hillside Overlay District be designed to fit within a 30-foot-high building envelope. The applicant has provided two north-south and two east-west cross-sections with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with the 30-foot height requirement; and f. Retaining walls are limited to 4 feet and height or less, in keeping with Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.G.1.j. 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 proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan Land Use designation of the project site is Low (L) Residential Zone. The Low (L) Residential designation is intended for the development of detached, low-density residences on individual lots. The General Plan also has a goal of facilitating sustainable and attractive infill development that complements surrounding neighborhoods. The project is for the development of a single-family residence on an existing residential lot that is complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The Development Code states that the Low (L) Residential Zone is for the development of single-family residential uses with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and a maximum residential density of 4 units per gross acre. The project site is an existing 12,044-square-foot vacant lot that was intended for the development of a single-family residence. c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code, including building setback, building height, lot coverage, grading limitations, and design. The project complies with the requirements of the Low (L) Residential Zone and the Hillside Overlay. d. The proposed use, 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. The proposed single-family residence is in keeping with the existing residences in the PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 22-31 HDR DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA December 13, 2022 Page 3 surrounding area and is not expected to create a detrimental impact on the existing residences. The size of the residence is in keeping with the size of the existing homes constructed along Camino Predera. The height of the residence was designed to limit view obstructions, as seen from the parcels to the north. 4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, which permits the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone. The project is for the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone and there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff’s determination of exemption. 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 Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 13TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2022.

This comprehensive General Plan Update addresses issues and challenges facing the City, including diversifying employment opportunities, expanding housing and mobility choice and preserving the character, history, and quality of life that make Rancho Cucamonga a special place to live. The updated General Plan will advance the City’s vision for a sustainable, resilient, equitable and healthy community. On May 18, 2022, the City Council adopted the updated Development Code for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The goals of the Development Code update were to codify the community’s vision as established in the General Plan update process, increase certainty in the development review process, and facilitate implementation of key General Plan concepts related to land use and urban design. A primary objective is to integrate form-based regulations in appropriate areas, such as along Foothill Boulevard, to promote pedestrian activity and transition these areas from auto-oriented to more walkable and urban configurations. Fundamental elements of the Development Code update are: • A hybrid Development Code that integrates form-based and conventional zones. 2 • New form-based zoning regulations for walkable mixed-use areas along Foothill Boulevard and other key corridors. • Incorporation of appropriate standards from older Specific Plans and Planned Communities into the new zoning regulations to allow for repeal of outdated plans. • New objective design standards for multi-family residential and mixed-use development projects. • Revisions to conventional zones as needed to implement the land use vision of the General Plan. • Revised general development standards to address General Plan policy or existing deficiencies with respect to landscaping, open space, and noise, among others as needed. • Improved administration and permit procedures to streamline development review for projects consistent with the General Plan and ensure adequate tools for enforcement of the Code. • Compliance with State and Federal law. • Consistency with the updated General Plan. Since the updated Development Code has been in effect, certain clean-up and clarifying amendments have been identified which need to be made in order to better calibrate the Development Code to the vision of the General Plan, to have clearer standards and procedures, and to expedite development application processes. The amendments proposed in this staff report are to ensure that the Development Code maintains consistency with the City’s vision for development as stipulated by the General Plan. ANALYSIS: Development Code Text Amendments: The Development Code text amendments consist of various technical amendments to Articles II, III, IV, V, VI, VIII, and IX. The technical amendments include formatting and typographic error fixes, new definitions, new/clarified development standards, new chapters and sections, and the creation of a new Open Space zone. A summary of the changes are listed below and on Attachment A. New chapters and sections include: 1. Section 17.36.020 (Development standards for two units in single-family residential zones) a. This section was added to permanently adopt the interim code standards consistent with Senate Bill 9 which were adopted via Interim Ordinance No. 994. 2. Section 17.36.030 (Urban lot splits in single-family residential zones) a. This section was added to permanently adopt the interim code standards consistent with Senate Bill 9 which were adopted via Interim Ordinance No. 994. 3. Section 17.62.070 (Nonconforming lots) a. The inclusion of this section adds to Chapter 17.62 which already addressed nonconforming uses and structures but did not include nonconforming lots. This new section provides standards for the use, development, or improvement of nonconforming lots. 4. Chapter 17.77 (Transfer of Development Rights) a. This section was added to implement a citywide Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program which mirrors the TDR program in the Etiwanda Heights Neighborhood and Conservation Plan. 5. Chapter 17.90 (Drive-In and Drive-Through Uses) a. The chapter has been updated with new development standards to regulate the development of drive-in and drive-through uses which align with the goals of the General Plan. 6. Chapter 17.97 (Live/Work Units) a. This new chapter establishes standards for the location, development, and operation of integrated live/work units in mixed-use zones and for the reuse of existing residential, commercial, and industrial structures to accommodate live/work opportunities. 3 Key amendments to existing chapters and sections include: 1. The Development Code currently contains four Open Space zones: OS – Open Space, HR – Hillside Residential, FC - Flood Control, and UC - Utility Corridor. Additionally, the current Zoning Map combines three of those open space zones into one color designation, “OS – Open Space, FC Flood Control, UC Utility Corridor”. Combining these three zones on the Zoning Map proved to be difficult for property owners and City staff to differentiate given that each zone has their own permitted uses column in Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). As a result, the zone is proposed to be split into two zones on the Zoning Map: P – Parks and FC/UC – Flood Control/Utility Corridor. A new column for the P – Parks zone is proposed to be added to Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone) while the columns for FC - Flood Control and UC - Utility Corridor are proposed to be combined into one column since the permitted uses for both zones are the same. The ‘Parks’ zone will focus on public parks, schools, and facilities while the ‘Flood Control/Utility Corridor’ zone will focus on flood control channels, utility corridors, and utility sites. The two zones will provide more clarity to property owners and City staff to determine the zoning classification for a parcel and its associated permitted uses. The proposed zones are still in alignment with the General Plan Land Use Designation of “General Open Space & Facilities” and they will further specify the zoning classifications depending on land use. In addition, the existing “OS – Open Space zone” is proposed to be renamed to “OSC – Open Space Conservation” in order to differentiate it as an open space zone meant for conservation areas and protection of natural resources as well as to further align the zone with the General Plan Land Use Designation of “Rural Open Space”. 2. Article VIII (Form-Based Code) contains various technical updates including minor text edits and clarifying language for minimum parking setbacks. Generally, the updates are intended to better calibrate the Article to meet the vision of the General Plan and to make the standards clearer for applicants. In addition, the ME2 zone will allow for ‘Manufacturing, Food Processing’ by approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and allow for ‘Retail, Warehouse Club’ as a permitted use. Lastly, Section 17.138.030.H (Thoroughfares) has been updated to include specific standards for new thoroughfares such as lane widths, sidewalk widths, and landscape buffer standards as well as a section diagram displaying an example of a typical thoroughfare. Zoning Map and General Plan Land Plan Map Amendments: The Zoning Map amendments also consist of various technical amendments and associated amendments to the General Plan Land Plan Map. The amendments include the creation of the new Open Space zone, rezoning of residential areas, and the rezoning of various parcels as technical clean-ups. The amendments are listed below: 1. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor (OS/FC/UC) – Various Parcels Citywide: This technical clean-up will implement the name changes to the open space zones, the creation of a new zone that will regulate parks and public facilities, and separation of the open space zones on the zoning map as discussed above. Open space is currently regulated by four zones that are defined separately in Table 17.26.020-1 and listed separately on the Land Use Table 17.30.030-1. However, the zoning map identifies three of the zones as one zone on the map (OS/FC/UC), which has created conflict with applying proper zoning to the property, identifying land uses, among other things. This technical clean-up will address these conflicts. All affected parcels are currently zoned OS/FC/UC. Following the proposed amendments, the affected parcels will remain under the open space category and will remain consistent with their corresponding General Plan designation. 4 2. High Residential Zone amended to Low Medium Residential Zone – Various Parcels (Victoria Arbors): This technical clean-up will rezone a single-family neighborhood within a Master Plan community from High Residential (H) back to Low Medium Residential (LM). The affected single-family neighborhood was inadvertently zoned H as a result of the General Plan consistency table that established the H zone as an implementing zone for the Suburban Moderate General Plan designation. The LM zone is consistent with the existing development intensity, the existing character of the single-family neighborhood, and addresses the substantial nonconformities that were created by the H zone designation. Additionally, the LM zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of single-family neighborhoods. 3. High Residential Zone amended to Medium High Residential Zone – Various Parcels (Candlewood): This technical clean-up will rezone five parcels from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH). The affected parcels were inadvertently zoned H as a result of the General Plan consistency table that established the H zone as an implementing zone for the Suburban Moderate General Plan designation. The affected parcels are vacant or underutilized, and suitable for medium-high density development up to 24 units per acre. MH zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of a range of medium-intensity housing options, including multifamily residential that can be compatible with nearby lower density residential developments. The rezoning of these parcels from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH) will not result in a net loss of potential housing units. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels as long as the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, the parcels were zoned as “OP – Office/Professional District” within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The OP zone allowed for various commercial uses such as professional offices, banks, and restaurants with no residential density. 4. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor amended to Neo-Industrial – APN: 020901315: This technical clean-up will rezone a 1-acre parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor back to Neo-Industrial. The vacant parcel was inadvertently zoned to OS/FC/UC as it appeared to be part of the adjacent flood control channel. This zoning amendment also includes a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Neo Industrial. 5. Center 2 Zone amended to Industrial Employment – APNs: 022902180, 022902191: This technical clean-up will rezone two vacant city-owned parcels totaling approximately 7 acres from Center 2 to Industrial Employment. The parcels were rezoned along with a large development area as part of the 2022 Zoning Map amendment. However, the parcels contain a unique property configuration and are located adjacent to the Interstate-15 freeway, which doesn’t make them conducive for the development expectations of the Center 2 zone. The rezoning of this parcel from Center 2 to Industrial Employment will not result in a net loss of potential housing units. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels as long as the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, the parcel was zoned as “RR – Regional Related Office/Commercial” within the Victoria Community Plan. The RR zone allowed for various commercial uses such as retail, personal service, restaurants, and hotels as well as office uses with no residential density. 5 6. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Very Low Residential – APN: 106264157: This technical clean-up will rezone a parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Very Low Residential. The property is currently developed with a single- family residence and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Semi-Rural Neighborhood. 7. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Medium Residential – APN: 108947125: This technical clean-up will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a private education use (Montessori School) and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low. 8. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Medium Residential – APN: 108926155, 108928157: This technical clean-up will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low. 9. Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Neo-Industrial – APN: 020917115: This technical clean-up will change the General Plan Land Use Designation from General Open Space and Facilities to Traditional Town Center. This technical amendment requires a General Plan Amendment. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: In approving the General Plan update in December 2021, the City Council certified the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2021050261) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the City has reviewed the proposed amendments to the Development Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan Map against the General Plan EIR and determined the EIR adequately addresses all the environmental issues associated with the project. The proposed project would not result in any new significant impacts on the environment based upon the analysis and conclusions presented in the General Plan EIR. In addition, previously identified significant impacts would not be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR. Finally, no new feasible mitigation measures have been identified that would substantially reduce significant impacts identified in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, staff has prepared an EIR Addendum for the amendments to the Development Code, Zoning Map, and General Plan Land Plan Map. Unlike an EIR, an Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review. FISCAL IMPACT: The adoption of these amendments will further facilitate future development consistent with the vision outlined in the General Plan. The General Plan vision for denser, mixed use urban centers can help Rancho Cucamonga maintain a high level of fiscal performance and become a regional destination and focal point of activity. 6 NEXT STEPS: Upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the proposed amendments will be presented to the City Council for adoption. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: These amendments address multiple City Council Core Values, including providing and nurturing a high quality of life for all, promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all, and intentionally embracing and anticipating the future, building and preserving a family-oriented atmosphere, and more.

Page 3 October 2022 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR 1.1 BACKGROUND This document serves as the environmental documentation for the City’s update to its Development Code (proposed project) to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan. This addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), certified in December 2021 (State Clearinghouse No. 2021050261), demonstrates that the analysis in the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that none of the conditions described in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15162, exist and preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is not necessary. 1.2 PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously adopted EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) calling for the preparation of subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations): When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR Page 4 October 2022 (c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. The proposed project would not trigger any of the conditions outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1) to (3) because these changes would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects requiring major revisions to the General Plan EIR. The following analysis provides the substantial evidence required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e) to support the finding that a subsequent EIR is not required and an addendum to the General Plan EIR is the appropriate environmental document to address changes to the project. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR): (a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. (d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. A copy of this addendum, and all supporting documentation, may be reviewed or obtained at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department, 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730. 1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The intent of the project is to ensure that the updated Development Code is consistent with the adopted General Plan. The key amendments to existing Development Code chapters and sections are described below and in Table 1. ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR October 2022 Page 5 • Currently the Development Code contains three Open Space zones: OS – Open Space, HR – Hillside Residential, and OS – Open Space, FC Flood Control, UC Utility Corridor. The combination of three open space uses into one zone, “OS – Open Space, FC Flood Control, UC Utility Corridor,” proved to be difficult for property owners and City staff to differentiate given that each use category had their own permitted uses in the Table 17.30.030-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements by Base Zone). As a result, the zone is proposed to be split into two: P – Parks and FC/UC – Flood Control/Utility Corridor. The ‘Parks’ zone will focus on public parks, schools, and facilities while the ‘Flood Control/Utility Corridor’ zone will focus on flood control channels, utility corridors, and utility sites. The two zones will provide more clarity to property owners and City staff to determine the zoning classification for a parcel and its associated permitted uses. The proposed zones are still in alignment with the General Plan Land Use Designation of “General Open Space & Facilities” and they will further specify the zoning classifications depending on land use. In addition, the existing “OS – Open Space zone” is proposed to be renamed to “OSC – Open Space Conservation” to differentiate it as an open space zone meant for conservation areas and protection of natural resources as well as further aligning the zone with the General Plan Land Use Designation of “Rural Open Space”. • Article VIII (Form-Based Code) contains various technical updates including minor text edits and clarifying language for minimum parking setbacks. Generally, the updates are intended to better calibrate the Article to meet the vision of the General Plan and to make the standards clearer for applicants. The substantive edits consist of changes to Table 17.136.020-1 (Allowed Land Uses in Form-Based Zones) in which zones ME2 and CE2 designate ‘EV showroom and Outdoor Sales’ as a permitted use. In addition, the ME2 zone will allow for ‘Manufacturing, Food Processing’ by approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and allow for ‘Retail, Warehouse Club’ as a permitted use. Lastly, Section 17.138.030.H (Thoroughfares) has been updated to include specific standards for new thoroughfares such as lane widths, sidewalk widths, and landscape buffer standards as well as a section diagram displaying an example of a typical thoroughfare.

N/A 1.4 ZONING MAP CLEANUP Additionally, the proposed project also includes changes to various parcels in the City that fall under specific zoning designations as shown on Figure 1, Prior to Zoning Amendment, and Figure 2, Post Zoning Amendment. The zone changes are described as follows: ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR Page 8 October 2022  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor (OS/FC/UC) – Various Parcels Citywide: A technical clean-up that will include name changes to the open space zones, the creation of a new zone that will regulate parks and public facilities, and separation of the open space zones on the zoning map. Open space is currently regulated by four zones that are defined separately in Table 17.26.020-1 and listed separately on the Land Use Table 17.30.030-1. However, the zoning map identifies three of the zones as one zone on the map (OS/FC/UC), which has created conflict with applying proper zoning to the property, identifying land uses, among other things. This technical clean-up will address these conflicts. All affected parcels are currently zoned OS/FC/UC. Following the proposed amendments, the affected parcels will remain under the open space category and will remain consistent with their corresponding General Plan designation.  High Residential Zone amended to Low Medium Zone – Various Parcels (Victoria Arbors): This technical clean-up will rezone a single-family neighborhood within a Master Plan community from High Residential (H) back to Low Medium Residential (LM). The affected single-family neighborhood was inadvertently zoned H as a result of the General Plan consistency table that established the H zone as an implementing zone for the Suburban Moderate General Plan designation. The LM zone is consistent with the existing development intensity, the existing character of the single-family neighborhood, and addresses the substantial nonconformities that were created by the H zone designation. Additionally, the LM zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of single-family neighborhoods. The rezoning of these parcels will not constitute a net loss of potential housing units per State law. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels as long as the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, these parcels were zoned Low Medium Residential at a density of 4-6 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning of Low Medium Residential per the updated Development Code allows for up to 8 dwelling units per acre.  High Residential Zone amended to Medium High Zone – Various Parcels (Candlewood): This technical clean-up will rezone five parcels from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH). The affected parcels were inadvertently zoned H as a result of the General Plan consistency table that established the H zone as an implementing zone for the Suburban Moderate General Plan designation. The affected parcels are vacant or underutilized, and suitable for medium-high density development up to 24 units per acre. MH zoning remains consistent with the Suburban Moderate General Plan Designation as it is within the density maximum and promotes the development of a range of medium intensity housing options, including multifamily residential that can be compatible with nearby lower density residential developments. The rezoning of these parcels will not constitute a net loss of potential housing units per State law. Senate Bill 330 allows for the rezoning of parcels if the new zoning designation is not reducing the intensity of land use below what was allowed under the General Plan or Specific Plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the City that was in effect on January 1, 2018. In 2018, four of these parcels were zoned “OP – Office Professional” which did not allow residential uses. One parcel was zoned Medium Low and is being rezoned to Medium High Residential. ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR October 2022 Page 9  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor amended to Neo-Industrial – APN: 020-901-315: A technical clean-up that will rezone a 1-acre parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor back to Neo-Industrial. The vacant parcel was inadvertently zoned to OS/FC/UC as it appeared to be part of the adjacent flood control channel and undevelopable due to its size, lot depth and width, and nearby property constraints. This zoning amendment also includes a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Neo Industrial.  Center 2 Zone amended to Industrial Employment – APNs: 022-902-180, 022-902-191 (City): A technical clean-up that will rezone two vacant parcels totaling approximately seven acres from Center 2 to Industrial Employment. The parcels were rezoned along with a large development area as part of the 2022 Zoning Map amendment. However, the parcels contain a unique property configuration and are located adjacent to the Interstate-15 freeway, which doesn’t make them conducive for the development expectations of the Center 2 zone.  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Very Low Residential – APN: 106-264-157 (SFR): A technical clean-up that will rezone a parcel from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Very Low Residential. The property is currently developed with a single- family residence and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Semi-Rural Neighborhood.  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility to Medium Residential – APN: 108-947-125 (Montessori School near Windrows Park): A technical clean-up that will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a private education use (Montessori School) and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low.  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility to Medium Residential – APN: 108-926-155, 108-928-157 (SFR): A technical clean-up that will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Medium Residential. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. This zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Suburban Neighborhood Low.  Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to Neo-Industrial – APN: 108-947-125: This technical clean-up will rezone an existing property from Open Space/Flood Control/Utility Corridor to its previous zoning designation of Neo-Industrial. The property is currently developed with a private education use and was mistakenly rezoned to OS/FC/UC. While this zoning amendment will require a General Plan amendment from General Open Space and Facilities to Traditional Town Center, the change reflects existing conditions of the property and therefore will not result in any environmental impact. 2. Findings The General Plan contains policies related to land use and community character, focus areas, open space, mobility and access, housing, public facilities and services, resource conservation, safety, and noise. The General Plan EIR included Standard Conditions of Approval (See Chapter 4 Implementation) for the following environmental topics: aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, noise, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire. The policies of the General Plan and the City’s existing development standards apply to all development in the General Plan Planning Area and would continue following adoption of the proposed project. As indicated above, the Development Code revisions are intended to improve alignment with the General Plan. As shown in Table 1, the text revisions constitute minor changes to existing Development Code intended to clarify and support implementation the rezoning of the General Plan. The proposed map revisions shown in Figure 2, correct mapping errors that were identified during the Development Code review or changes that reflect existing developed conditions of the land. The General Plan EIR considered land use designations and the general pattern of future development. While the Development Code is not specifically evaluated in the General Plan EIR, state law requires that land use and zoning be consistent. The General Plan EIR included policy changes as well as an update to the Development Code, which included zoning updates. Overall, the proposed revisions to the Development Code are minor in nature and are required to ensure consistency with the recently adopted General Plan, any physical impacts associated with the rezoning of parcels are addressed through the City’s General Plan Implementation Chapter, zoning, and development standards. For these reasons, the proposed project would not change the conclusions of the General Plan EIR. The following identifies the standards in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 as they relate to the project. 1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which would require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The proposed project would better align the Development Code with the recently adopted General Plan; therefore, the proposed revisions to the Development Code are consistent with the General Plan as evaluated in the General Plan EIR and adopted by the City. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the City are a technical clean-up correcting errors in the zoning map that would not result in direct physical impacts to the environment different from those anticipated in the General Plan EIR. Consequently, the changes to the Development Code and rezoning of parcels would not change the conclusions of the EIR.

There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. The General Plan Update anticipated the need to amend the Development Code to implement the goals and policies adopted by the City. The General Plan EIR relies upon the Implementation Measures included in the General Plan to regulate all future development. Thees Measures will continue to apply to all development in the City and will have the same mitigating effects as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Because these changes are a result of the Development Code review anticipated by the General Plan Update, there is no new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time the General Plan EIR was certified. The impacts from the proposed project would be the same as those disclosed in the certified General Plan EIR. 3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR. The proposed project would have the same significant impacts as those disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan policies and Standard Conditions of Approval identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would apply to all new development. These policies would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would better align the Development Code with the recently adopted General Plan, and therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan EIR. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the City are a technical clean-up and would not result in direct physical impacts to the environment. There is no new information that would demonstrate that significant effects examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the certified General Plan EIR. Future development that would require amendments to the General Plan would be required to undergo appropriate environmental analysis. 4. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. The proposed project would better align the Development Code with the recently adopted General Plan as evaluated by the General Plan EIR. All policies and Standard Conditions of Approval identified in the General Plan EIR would continue to apply to all development in the City and would have the same mitigating effect as disclosed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would not change the assumptions described in the General Plan EIR and does not change the conclusions of the EIR or require new Standard Conditions of Approval or mitigation. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the City are a technical clean-up and would not result in direct physical impacts to the environment. Future ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 2. CEQA Analysis Page 12 October 2022 development that would require amendments to the General Plan would be required to undergo appropriate environmental analysis. 5. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete demonstrating that mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. The proposed project would not result in direct physical changes to the environment but would ensure that the Development Code is consistent with the General Plan. Additionally, the proposed rezoning of parcels in the City are a technical clean-up to reflect the proposed Development Code change or reflect existing developed conditions of property. As such, development in the City would continue to be consistent with the buildout projected in the General Plan EIR, and the resulting impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR would remain the same. Therefore, no new Standard Conditions of Approval, mitigation measures, or alternatives to the proposed project would be required. There are no substantial changes in the circumstances or added information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the General Plan EIR. As a result, and for the reasons explained in this addendum, the proposed project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum.

For reference purposes, a list of the parcels affected by General Plan Land Use Map Amendment DRC2022-00465 is also included in Exhibit “C”. e. The City prepared the Amendments, which are included as Exhibits “A,” “B,” and “C” to this Resolution and are hereby incorporated by this reference as set forth in full. f. Municipal Code Amendment DRC2022-00464 and Zoning Map Amendment DRC2022-00466 conform to and do not conflict with the goals, policies, and implementation programs of the General Plan, including, without limitation, the Housing and Land Use Elements thereof (as amended), and will provide for development in a manner consistent with the General Plan. g. General Plan Amendment DRC2022-00465 is in the public interest, and as amended the General Plan Land Map will remain internally consistent. The proposed General Plan Amendment will include technical clean-ups to various parcels and will ensure consistency is maintained between the General Plan Land Map and the Zoning Map, as well as the goals and policies of the General Plan. Additionally, many of the affected parcels under the General Plan Land Map amendment are currently developed with existing uses. The proposed amendments to these parcels will correct the current land map designation to be consistent with the zoning and existing uses on the property, which is also in the best interest of the public. h. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared an addendum to the certified Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) (SCH #2021050261) prepared for the General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan. The addendum concludes that the proposed Amendments 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 FEIR. No new information has become available and no substantial changes to the circumstances under which implementation of the General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan has been undertaken since the certification of the FEIR have occurred. The proposed Amendments would not substantially increase the severity of effects relative to the environmental topics analyzed in the certified FEIR, nor would the proposed Amendments require new mitigation measures or alternatives. Based on this evidence and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council concur with Planning Department staff’s determination that the proposed Amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment and an addendum is the appropriate level of environmental review under CEQA. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed addendum attached to the staff report accompanying the proposed Amendments, along with the certified FEIR, and hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the addendum. 3. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of paragraph B above, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt Municipal Code Amendment DRC2022-00464, Zoning Map Amendment DRC2022-00466, and General Plan Land Use Map Amendment DRC2022-00465 as indicated in the draft City Council resolution and ordinance attached as Exhibits “D” and “E,” respectively, along with the official Zoning Map and Official General Plan Land Map, attached as Exhibit "F" and Exhibit "G", respectively, and incorporated herein by this reference.
