This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Ordinance are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing on August 21, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: Ordinance No. 684 Page 2 of 7 a. This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development within the district in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development; and b. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element; and c. This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties. 3. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the City Council finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Monitoring Program, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative Declaration with regard to the application. b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project, which are listed below. Environmental Mitiqation Air Quality 1) The site shall be treated with water a minimum of twice per day, or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM10 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. This will result in a minimum reduction of 68 percent of PM10 emissions during grading. 2) Public roads used for access to the site (Buffalo Avenue and Charles Smith Avenue) shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off-site. The site access haul road will be watered a minimum of twice daily. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. This will result in approximately three percent reduction of PM10 emissions. Ordinance No. 684 Page 3 of 7 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM10 emissions from the site during such episodes. Emissions reduction no quantifiable. 4) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM10 emissions. 5) The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment used on-site based on Iow emission factors and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. This will result in five percent reductions of ROG, NOX, and PM10 emissions. 6) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 7) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. 8) The construction contractor shall use Iow VOC asphalt during the asphalt paving portions of the project. Traffic 1) To mitigate the impacted intersections to LOS D or better, the applicant shall pay traffic impact fees that amount to the project's fair share of roadway improvements as identified by the City Engineer. These include but are not limited to widening roadways to their full width to add additional lanes, restriping existing roads to add additional lanes, signalizing intersections, or other improvements identified by the City Engineer. Noise 1) The project would add people and traffic to the area and generally increase ambient noise levels since the site is currently vacant. However, the impact is not considered significant as the project is consistent with the Development Code, General Industrial/Industrial Park zoned area with no sensitive receptors in the area. 2) The proposed project is the development of one industrial building with loading areas. The development will remain consistent with surrounding land uses, zoned as General Industrial/Industrial Park. The project development would generate approximately 727 trips/day, creating no significant increase in noise caused by traffic in the area, and not predicted to exceed City noise limits. Therefore this impact is considered less than significant. Ordinance No. 684 Page 4 of 7 ¢. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the City Council finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends. Fudher, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reported and exhibits, and the information provided to the City Council during the public hearing, the City Council hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Council hereby approves Development Code Amendment DRC2001-00321 to amend the street circulation within the Industrial Development District, Subareas 12 and 13, eliminating the extension of Mission Park Drive between Buffalo Avenue and Charles Smith Avenue by amending Figures 17.30.080-O and 17.30.080-N of the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code as shown in Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "B" to this Ordinance. 5.
