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.

¢. 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
