Page 2 of 27
a. The application applies to property located at the east side of Archibald
Avenue, north of Carrari Street with a street frontage of 1,800 feet on
Archibald Avenue and 700 feet on the Carrari Street and is presently
vacant. The site sits at the base of the foothills and slopes from the
northwest to the southeast at a 10 to 15 percent grade. The elevation
difference across the site is approximately 269 feet. There are two
natural streams that cross the site from north to south. The stream
channel has steep slopes varying from 25 to 30 percent. The two
streams carry drainage from the north through the site to the south. This
drainage is proposed to be controlled by constructing a retention basin at
the northern end of the site with a storm drain which outlets south of the
site. Vegetation on the site includes three communities, successional
sage scrub, annual grass and ruderal areas, and Eucalyptus woodland.
There is a cluster of three mature Eucalyptus trees and one mature Oak
tree (on Lot 44); and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant or developed with
single family homes, the property to the south consists of single family
homes, the property to the east is vacant and developed with single
family homes, and the property to the west is developed with single
family homes; and
c. The application involves design review of a detailed Site Plan, building
elevations, grading, and landscaping for an existing subdivision of 123
lots for which the final map was recorded on June 4, 1990; and
d. The project will not increase traffic in the vicinity beyond that anticipated
by the General Plan and the streets have been designed to
accommodate the traffic demand; and
e. The project is designed to minimize view obstruction to the degree
possible; and
f. The project site is potential habitat for threatened or endangered species
(i.e., California Gnatcatcher and San Bernardino Merriam Kangaroo Rat,
respectively) and biological surveys were conducted by a permitted
biologist in accordance with the United Stares Fish and Wildlife Service
protocols. The protocol surveys concluded that the project site was not
suitable habitat and the species were not found; and
g. The project site is potential habitat for an endangered species, the Quino
Checkerspot Butterfly, a habitat assessment was conducted and
determined that, because of a lack of host plants and past disturbances
for agricultural use, the site does not support adequate habitat and the
species is not present; and
h. The project has a valid Nationwide Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers in compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
the applicant has obtained Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 5-070-
98 from the California Department of Fish and Game; and
i. The project site contains 5.04 acres of undisturbed Coastal Sage Scrub,
the removal of which will be mitigated both on-site and in off-site
mitigation land bank in the Cajon Wash; and
j. The project site is located within the "Wildland/Urban Interface" zone and
San Bernardino County Fire Overlay District; and
Resolution No. 99-229

k. Theapplicationisconsistentwiththeobjectivesandrequirementsofthe
Hillside Development Regulations and complies with all development
standards of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-
referenced Public Hearing on October 20, 1999, including, but not limited to
written and oral staff reports, the minutes of the above-referenced Planning
Commission meeting, the contents of Planning Commission Resolution No. 99-
88, and together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as
follows with reference to points raised by the appellants:
a. With respect to continuation of Hidden Farm Road across Archibald
Avenue, the City Council finds that Final Tract Map. 13316, which
included lot layout and street alignment, was recorded in 1990 and that
the issue of street alignment is therefore not part of the Planning
Commission's decision regarding the approval of the subject application;
b. The roadway alignment associated with Tract 13316 is found to be safe
and consistent with City standards;
c. The grading design associated with the subject application is consistent
with applicable City standards and incorporates desirable design features
such as contour grading and variable slopes;
d. The two-story homes have been plotted in such a way as to preserve
views to a reasonable extent for existing and future home owners;
e. With respect to drainage issues, the City Council finds that the City of
Rancho Cucamonga has obtained and holds a valid easement for
drainage proposed across off-site properties to the south of the Tract and
that the design of the proposed drainage facilities meets or exceeds
applicable codes and will promote health and safety and minimize the
risk of flooding in the area.
Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-
referenced Public Hearing on October 20, 1999, and upon the specific findings of
fact set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, this Council hereby specifically
finds as follows:
a. ThattheproposedprojectisconsistentwiththeobjectivesoftheGeneral
Plan in that it includes high quality residential design appropriate to
hillside areas, is designed to be sensitive to views, includes appropriate
use of plant materials to simulate a natural integration of structures into
the landscape, and will minimize potential hazards;
b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the
Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is
located in that it is responsive to the environmental resources of the site,
promotes development compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, and
minimizes the impact of slopes on adjacent development;
c. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code including the Hillside Development
building envelope, contour grading, softened pad configurations via
variable slopes, and provision of architectural enhancements on all sides
of homes;
Resolution No. 99-229
Page 4 of 27
d. That the proposed design, 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 in that it
minimizes potential fire, seismic, and flood related hazards.
Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4
above, the City Council hereby denies the appeals, upholds the action of the
Planning Commission, and approves the application subject to all conditions of
approval contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 99-88, attached
hereto.
The City Clerk of the City of Rancho Cucamonga is hereby directed to: (a) certify
to the adoption of this Resolution, and (b) forthwith transmit a certified copy of

This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Cede).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
Conditions of approval fiat act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the pmcodure necessary to ensure com plianco. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
A procedure of compliance and ved~cation has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases Of the project The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shaft coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
