SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-79 -
JOHN LAING HOMES - The design review of a detailed site plan and elevations
for previously approved Tentative Tract 15948, consisting of 40 single family lots
on 9.75 acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units
per acre) within the Victoria Community Plan, located on the south side of Base
Line Road, 650 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 227-171-003.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Backqround: The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 15948 on October 13,
1999, for the subdivision of 40 single-family lots. At that time, the applicant, Regent
Homes, did not include house products. After purchasing the property, the current
applicant, John Laing Homes, is now requesting a Design Review for the homes, grading,
and landscaping.
B. Site Characteristics: The project site is located on the south side of Base Line Road,
650 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue. The site is currently vacant and gently slopes
southeasterly at approximately 3.1 percent. The site is bordered on the north by Base
Line Road. One Eucalyptus windrow containing 21 trees exists near the center of the site
and a second containing 7 trees exists along southern property boundary.
ANALYSIS:
A. General: The project consists of 40 single-family lots on 9.75 acres of land within the
Victoria Community Plan. Three floor plans with three elevations for each floor plan are
proposed, consisting of a Craftsman style, a Farmhouse style, and a Santa Barbara style.
All proposed homes are two-story and range in size from 2,430 square feet to 3,016
square feet. The applicant is currently proposing the same house product on 31 lots to the

east that are within the Etiwanda Specific Plan (Development Review 99-78). The
Development Review for that project is also being considered by the Planning Commission
at this meeting.
B. Desiqn Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNeil, Stewart, Coleman)
reviewed the project on March 14, 2000, and recommended approval subject to staff's
comments with some changes (Exhibit "F").
C. Technical and Gradin.q Review Committees: The applicant/developer worked diligently
with the property owner to the south of the project site to gain authorization for off-site
grading and tree removal, eliminating the need to terrace walls or offset walls around trees
on the southern property boundary. The Committees recommended approval with the
conditions listed in the attached Resolutions of Approval.
D. NeiRhborinq Meetinq: A neighborhood meeting was held on March 7, 2000. Seven
people attended the meeting, which included property owners from the tract north of the
site and a representative for the owners of the property located at the southeast corner of
Etiwanda Avenue and Base Line Road. Residents asked general questions regarding
increased traffic congestion caused by freeway construction and new development in the
area. Residents were supportive of the project and looked forward to seeing it
constructed.
E. Tree Removal: The project will require the removal of two Eucalyptus windrows. A
conditioh of approval for Tentative Tract 15948 and Tree Removal Permit 99-06 requires a
new windrow to be planted in the rear of the lots that back up to Base Line Road.
F. Environmental Assessment: The applicant prepared Part I of the Initial Study. Staff
completed Part II of the Initial Study and determined that with mitigation measures and
conditions of approval in-place from Tentative Tract 15948, the development of the site will
not have a significant impact to the environment. Staff recommends the issuance of a
Negative Declaration.
FACTS FOR FINDING:
A. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan
B. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the
Victoria Community Plan in which the site is located.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code and the Victoria Community Plan.
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.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
8:10 p.m. Nancy Fong\Warren Morelion March 14, 2000
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-79 - JOHN LAING
HOMES- The design review 'of detailed site plan and elevations for a previously approved
subdivision ('1-1'15948) consisting of 40 single-family lots on 9.75 acres of land in the Low-Medium
Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) within the Victoda Community Plan, located on the
south side of Base Lin% Road; 650 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 227~171-003.
Design Parameters: The site is located south of Base Line Road, 650 feet west of,Etiwanda
Avenue. It is currently vacant and slopes southeasterly at approximately 5 percent. In the canter
of the site, 20 Eucalyptus trees exist. A Eucalyptus windrow exists along the south property
boundary. North of the site are single-family homes. South, east, and west of the site are vacant
lands. On October 13, 1999, the Planning Commission approved the subdivision of 40 single-family
lots. At that time, the applicant, Regent Homes, did not include house products. The current
applicant, John Laing Homes, has purchased the property with the intention of building their house
products. They are proposing three floor plans with three elevations for each floor plan consisting
of a Craftsman style, a Farmhouse style, and a Santa Barbara style. The homes are all two-story
and range in size from 2,430 square feet to 3,016 square feet. Recreational Parking is required as
part of the Victoria Community Plan and will be provided on Lots 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 21, 29, 33, 36, and
40. A required mitigation for the removal of the existing Eucalyptus windrows is replacement with
a new windrow in the backyard of homes that back onto Base Line Road.
Applicable Regulations: This project is within the Victoria Community Plan (VCP) which has unique
development standards, including setbacks and architectural style. There are no architectural
guidelines within the VCP. At least 20 percent of the lots are required to have recreational vehicle
storage within a 12-foot side yard per City Council Ordinance No. 287.
Yard Setback*
25-foot average/20-foot minimum
Front Yard (from propert7 ne/right-of-way)
Corner Side Yard 5 feet minimum from curb or back of sidewalk
Side Yard 5 feet
15 feet from property line (25 feet along Base
Rear Yard Line)
Along Base Line Road 50 feet (from curb face)
*Garages require 18-foot minimum setback from back of sidewalk (10 feet on side entry garages).
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project.
1. Revise wall location along Base Line Road to comply with 25-foot minimum setback from
curb.
2. Provide 8 RV lots (20 percent). Those identified on the Site Planare not RV lots because
they do not have a 12-foot side yard. Only Lots 11, 29, 33, and 36 have adequate side yard.
3. Revise plotting to vary front setbacks +/- 5 feet for greater streetscape variety.
DRC AGENDA
DR 99-79
March 14, 2000
Page 2
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. Enhance the individual character and design of each architectural style by incorporating
eaves design that can be associated with them. The "Craftsman" style should use rafter
tails along the roof line. The "Farmhouse" style should use outlookers/kickers at peaks and
at the bottom (Sf gable ends. The "Santa Barbara" style should use a cornice design.
2. Articulate the front entry of Plan 1 to provide a distinction between each-elevation entry.
3. Provide 360-degree architecture by upgrading all side and rear elevations to include window
mullions on key windows.
4. Special "enhanced architecture" should be given to lots that side or rear onto Base Line
Road. Consideration shall be given to include a mixture of second-story pop-outs; greater
use of window mullions, shutters, pot shelves, and second-story decks.
Policy Issues: The. following items are matters of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. Enlarge porches on all plans so they are a minimum of 6 to 8 feet in depth.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Nancy Fong\Warren Morelion
The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to staffs comments with some
changes. The applicant agreed to the changes. The Committee felt that the applicant did not need
to change the eves of the "Craftsman" and "Santa Barbara" style homes in order to enhance their
design. The Committee felt that additional front setback variation was not needed because the
homes use side-on garage treatments to enhance streetscape, in addition, the applicant will not
have to modify Plan 1 entries. The Committee suggested the applicant submit a Minor Exception
(ME) application to address the wall issue along Base Line Road to reduce the required 25-foot
setback to 22.5 feet.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The 10-acre project site is located within the Victoria Community Plan area. The Community
Plan was adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and an Environmental Impact Report
certified in May 1981. The City also adopted its General Plan that same year and incorporated
many of the urban design and planning elements of the Victoria Community Plan into the
General Plan. Subsequently, in 1983, an Environmental Impact Statement was prepared by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to support its participation in the project
under Title X of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, to provide loan insurance to
commercial lenders to finance public infrastructure in the Community Plan area.
The Community Plan area encompasses approximately 2,250 acres generally bounded on the
north by Highland Avenue, on the east by Etiwanda Avenue, on the south by the 1-15 freeway
(east of Day Creek Channel) and by Base Line Road (west of Day Creek Channel) and on the
west by the Deer Creek Channel. The Community Plan is divided into sub-planning areas called
villages. The project site is located in the Victoria Lakes planning area, located on the eastern
boundary of the Community Plan area.
The 10-acre site is located on the southwest corner of Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue. It
is a vacant site that in the past was used for agriculture. However, over the past few decades,
no agricultural activities have occurred and the site is generally an open field with non-native
grasses, a eucalyptus windrow along the southern boundary of the site and some non-native
bushes scattered near the center of the site.
Pursuant to Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, an
explanation is required for all "Potentially Significant Impact," "Potentially Significant Impact
Unless Mitigation Incorporated," and "Less Than Significant Impact" answers, including a
discussion of ways to mitigate the significant effects identified.

1. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the proposah
a) Conflict with general plan designation or zoning? ( ) ( )
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ( ) ( )
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction
over the project?
c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the ( ) ( ) (~')
vicinity?
d) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an ( ) ( )
established community?
Comments:
a-d) The project site is located at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Base
Line Road, approximately 650 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue, and is within the
Victoria Lakes planning area of the Victoria Community Plan. The land use
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 99-79 Page 4
designation is Low-Medium Residential District (4 to 8 dwelling units per area). The
applicant has proposed a tract map showing 4 units per acres with lot sizes
averaging approximately 8,000 square feet. No increase in density or plan
amendment is proposed and therefore no impacts will result from the project.

2, POPULATION AND HOUSING, Would the proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local ( ) (~')
population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either ( ) (~')
directly or indirectly (e.g., through projects in an
undeveloped area or extension of major
infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable ( ) (~')
housing?
Comments:
a-b) The project consists of the subdivision of 40 single family lots on 10 acres of land
in Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per area) within the Victoria
Community Plan. No increase in density or plan amendment is proposed.
Therefore, the project will not result in a change in population projections. The
Cucamonga County Water District confirmed they have the ability to provide
adequate sewer and water service for the project.
c) The project site is currently vacant. Land immediately west, south and east of the
site is also vacant. The property immediately north of the site has been fully
developed with single family residences. No impacts will result, as existing housing
will not be displaced.

a) Fault rupture? ( ( ) ( ) (~')
b) Seismic ground shaking? ( ( ) (~') ( )
c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ( ( ) (~') ( )
d) Seiche hazards? ( ( ) ( ) (~')

g) Subsidence of the land? ( ) ( ) ( )
h) Expansive soils? ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
i) Unique geologic or physical features? ( ) ( ) ( ) (")
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it
in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red
Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 3 miles west of the site, and the
Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3.7 miles north. These faults are both
capable of producing Mw 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto
fault, capable of producing up to Mw7.5 earthquakes is 9.5 miles northeast of the site
and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 10.5 miles northeast of
the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could
occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended period of heavy
rains raising the local water table. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure
that geologic impacts are less than significant.
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal. Grading will even out the site
and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage.
f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the project because the site is
currently vacant. Grading will be done in accordance with a grading plan approved
by the City Engineer. The impact is not considered significant.
g-h) The General Plan indicates the Tujunga-Soboba soil association for the site which
has only slight erosion potential and runoff potential is slow to very slow. Soils are
suitable for residential development. The impact is not considered significant.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physical features.

4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) ( ) (,~) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?

Signi§can~ Mitigation Significant No
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) (,~)
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) (-')
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)?
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any ( ) ( ) (~')
water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) (,/)
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) (-')
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability?
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? ( ) ( ) (,/)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality? ( ) ( ) (-')
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of ( ) ( ) (,/)
groundwater otherwise available for public water
supplies?
Comments:
a) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate
and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape and roof
tops proposed on the currently vacant site. The developer will be required to
channel the surface runoff from the project to the existing basin south of Victoria
Park Lane to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The impact is not considered
significant.
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain.
c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. The applicant will provide a
drainage study showing how stormwater runoff will be conveyed, prior to issuance
of a grading permit.
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area
because the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to (,') ( ) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? ('~) ( )
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) (~')
cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (")
Comments:
a-b) The short and long term air quality impacts were addressed in the previous EIR
certified for the Victoria Community Plan. Typically, construction of a project this size
will exceed SCAQMD thresholds during grading activities for PM10 and Nox, and may
also exceed SCAQMD thresholds for developed condition (operational impacts) for
Nox. The proposed project represents only a fraction of the total emissions of Nox in
the county. The short and long term air quality impacts were addressed in the Initial
Study for Tentative Tract Map No. 15948. A Mitigation Monitoring Plan was adopted
with the Tentative Tract Map. Implementation of mitigation measures associated with
approval of the Map will reduce air quality impacts to less than significant.
c-d) The proposed project is the subdivision of 10 acres of vacant land into 40 single-
family lots, averaging approximately 8,000 square feet, in accordance with the City
code. The end use of the proposed project, Iow-medium residential, will not
generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

Comments:
a) The project will generate additional trips due to the new construction. LSA
Associates prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis for the project on December 8,
1998. The report concluded that the project will generate 679 daily trips, including
53 a.m. peak hour trips and 72 p.m. peak hour trips. All intersections will operate
with satisfactory levels of service with the exception of Level of Service (LOS) at
the 1-15 south-bound Ramp/Base Line Road intersection. A Mitigation Monitoring
Plan was adopted with the Tentative Tract Map. Implementation of mitigation
measures associated with approval of the Map will reduce traffic impacts to less
than significant.

7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened, or rare species or their ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
habitats (including, but not limited to: plants, fish,
insects, animals, and birds)?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees, ( ) (-') ( ) ( )
eucalyptus windrow, etc.)?
c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
eucalyptus grove, sage scrub habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian, and ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
Comments:
a) The Environmental Impact Report for the Victoria Community Plan concluded that
none of the species of plants or animals observed or expected to occur on-site
were listed as rare or endangered. Further more, the site was used for agriculture
in the past and contains not native habitat.
Init[al Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 99-79 Page 9
b-c) Two Eucalyptus windrows exist in the middle of the site and along the south
property boundary. An Arborist Repod was prepared to evaluate the trees. The
Arborist stated that the two Eucalyptus windrow are in declining health. The
Arborist recommended removal of the windrows with replacement. The trees are
considered "heritage trees" and are subject to the City's Tree Preservation
Ordinance (RCMC 19.08). A Mitigation Monitoring Plan was adopted with Tentative
Tract Map No. 15948. Implementation of mitigation measures associated with
approval of the Map will reduce impacts to less than significant.
d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site.
e) The surrounding area is developed with existing housing and Base Line Road to
the north and Etiwanda Avenue to the east. This development has eliminated any
wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past.

8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the
proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
plans?
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
inefficient manner?
c) Result in the loss of availability of a known ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
mineral resource that would be of future value to
the region and the residents of the State?
Comments:
a-b) The project will be required to conform with applicable City standards for energy
conservation.
c) The project site is located on the Day Creek alluvial fan, an area classified as a
Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ-2). An MRZ-2 zone contains deposits of known
value and marketability. However, the State Geologist has determined that the
area is not a Designated Area of available resources due to urbanization.

9.HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) ( )
hazardous substances (including, but not limited
to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)?
b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ) ( ) ( ) (v)
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) ( ) ( ) (-')
health hazard?
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) ( ) (,') ( )
potential health hazards?
e) Increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (,')
brush, grass, or trees?
Comments:
a-d) During a site visit, no evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes
or discolored soils were observed. There was no indication of underground storage
tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. Based on the fact that the site is an
abandoned vineyard, pesticides were probably used in the past. However, the
vineyards have been abandoned for quite some time, twenty years or greater.
Based on this, it is reasonable to assume that sufficient time has past for weather
and rain to disperse and dilute any existing pesticides.

10. NOISE. Will the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) (~') ( ) ( )
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) (') ( ) (,,')
Comments:
a) The project would increase noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the
development would add people and traffic to the area. The impact is not
considered significant.
b) The project is impacted by road noise from Base Line Road, a major arterial. A
Noise Study was prepared by LSA Associates for Tentative Tract Map No. 15948
to determine the level of impacts and the mitigation. Project related long term
vehicular trip increases are anticipated to be moderate. The incremental traffic
noise level increase would be less than significant. No significant traffic noise
impacts on off-site sensitive uses are anticipated. However, proposed on-site
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 99-79 Page 11
residential uses would be potentially exposed to traffic noise levels exceeding the
60 dBA Ldn standard in outdoor activity areas. As such, a Mitigation Monitoring
Plan was adopted with the Tentative Tract Map. Implementation of mitigation
measures associated with approval of the Map will reduce noise impacts to less
than significant.

11. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon or result in a need for new or altered
government services in any of the following areas:
a) Fire protection? ( ) ( ) ( ) ('~)
b) Police protection? ( ) ( ) ( )
c) Schools? ( ) ( ) (~') ( )
d) Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? ( ) ( ) (~') ( )
e) Other governmental services? ( ) ( ) ( ) ('~)
Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The project site is located at the southwest corner of Etiwanda
Avenue and Base Line Road, approximately 650 feet west of Etiwanda Avenue in
Rancho Cucamonga, and is served by a fire station located on the northeast corner
of Day Creek Boulevard and Base Line Road, less than 1.5 miles west of the site.
The addition of 40 homes is not consider significant.
Police protection - Additional police protection is not required as the addition of 40
single family residential homes will not change current facility operating hours and
will not have a substantial increase in area to be patrolled as the project site is
relatively small, less than 10 acres.
Schools -The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint High School District
serve the project. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed
development. With mitigation, the impact to the School Districts is not considered
significant. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the
school impact fees.
Parks - Proposed 40 single family homes will not generate a substantial number of
new people to the area. Therefore, the new residential community will not
adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities.

e) Storm water drainage? ( ) ( ) (,') ( )
f) Solid waste disposal? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,~)
g) Local or regional water supplies? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,~)
Comments:
a-g) The project will use existing gas, electrical and communication systems. Solid
waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler. Waste will be
disposed of in the County of San Bemardino Mid Valley Sanitary Landfill. The
project will increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff
from new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. Drainage
Plans will be included in applicants submittal to City Engineer for review and
approval.

part of the Victoria Community Plan and is not considered a scenic corridor by the
City or the County of San Bernardino.
b) The proposed project is part of the Victoria Community Plan and is consistent with
the goals and objectives set forth in the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan.
The proposed design and exterior elements of the homes will be consistent with
design standards set forth in the Victoria Community Plan.
c) The project will create new light and glare as the site is currently vacant. However,
the site has been identified as a residential site so new light will not significantly
affect sensitive receptors such as other residential development in the area.

16.MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the project have the ( ) ( ) ( ) (,~)
potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
· eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) (,/) )
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) (~') )
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ) ( ) (,,)
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The initial study did not identify any significant adverse ~mpacts to biological
resources. According to an arbodst report, two eucalyptus windrows exist in the
middle of the site and along the south property boundary. The report concluded
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 99-79 Page 15
that the trees were in declining health and recommended removal of the windrows
with replacement. The site is currently an abandoned grape vineyard and does not
contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species.
b) The proposed project was identified as having short-term impacts to air quality and
noise. The short-term impacts will occur do to proposed construction activities.
However, the impacts will cease once construction activities are completed.
Measures have been identified within this initial study to mitigate the short-term
impacts to noise and air quality.
c) As stated within the EIR for the Victoda Community Plan, cumulative effects of the
Victoria Community project will increase traffic, air pollution, and public services
over a 20-year span. Appropriate analysis and mitigation measures were
developed prior to the implementation of the project. The Initial Study did not
identify any impacts that could not be mitigated through the City's standard
conditions of approval or mitigation measures identified in the EIR.
d) Development of 40 single-family residents would not cause substantial adverse
effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The initial study identified
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially
significant impact. However, if the proposed mitigation measures are implemented
the impacts will be minimized. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality are
short-term and will cease once construction activities are completed.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA
process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative
Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to

[] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment.
[] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate
the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project as revised may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not be required.
Reasons to support this finding are included in the attached Initial Study. The project file and all related
documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division at 10500 Civic

located at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Base Line Road -
APN: 227-171-004. Related File: Development Review 99-78.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Background: The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract 15947 on October 13,
1999, for the subdivision of 31 single-family lots. At that time, the applicant, Regent Homes,
did not include house products. After purchasing the property, the current applicant, John
Laing Homes, is now requesting a Design Review for the homes, grading, and landscaping.
B. Site Characteristics: The project site is located on the southwest corner of Base Line Road
and Etiwanda Avenue. The site is currently vacant and gently slopes southeasterly at
approximately 2.4 percent. The site is bordered on the north by Base Line Road and on the
east by Etiwanda Avenue. The frontage along Etiwanda Avenue is under the special
development criteria of the Etiwanda Overlay District, and the intersection is designated as
a "Community Entry" with special landscaping as shown in Exhibit "H." A Eucalyptus windrow
containing seven trees exists along the southern property boundary. Three palm trees and
one maple tree exist near the northeast corner of the site.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The project consists of 31 single-family homes on 9.11 acres of land within the
Etiwanda Specific Plan. Three floor plans with three elevations for each floor plan are
proposed, Consisting of a Craftsman style, a Farmhouse style, and a Santa Barbara style. All
proposed homes are two-story and range in size from 2,430 square feet to 3,016 square feet.
The applicant is currently proposing the same house product on 40 lots to the west that are
within the Victoria Community Plan (DR 99-79). The Development Review for that project is
also being considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
B Conditional Use Permit 99-64 - Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District: The project is in the
Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District which requires a Conditional Use Permit to ensure that
development along Etiwanda Avenue is consistent with the historical character and quality of
the street. There are special development cdteria in the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District,
which require homes along Etiwanda Avenue to face the street, maintain a minimum
separation of 25 feet between homes, and be designed to enhance and reinforce the visual
and historical character and quality of Etiwanda Avenue. The applicant has provided drawings
of house designs and plotting for the lots along Etiwanda Avenue that address the special
requirements as shown in Exhibits "D" and "E."
C. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (McNeil, Stewart, Coleman)
reviewed the project on March 14, 2000, and recommended approval subject to staffs
comments with some changes as shown in Exhibit "F."
D. Technical and Grading Review Committee~: The Applicant/Developer worked diligently with
the property owner to the south of the project to gain authorization for off-site grading and tree
removal, eliminating the need to terrace walls or offset walls around trees on the southern
property boundary. The Committees recommended approval with the conditions listed in the
attached Resolutions of Approval.
E. Tree Removal and Preservation: The project will require the removal of a row of seven
eucalyptus trees, a maple tree, a palm tree, and the relocation of two palm trees. A condition
of approval for Tentative Tract 15947 andTree Removal Permit 99-05 requires a new windrow
to be planted in the rear of the lots that back up to Base Line Road, and the relocation of the
two palm trees to be planted as a special treatment at the comer of Base Line Road and
Etiwanda Avenue.
F. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was held on March 7, 2000. Seven people
attended the meeting, which included property owners from the tract north of the site and a
representative for the owners of the property located at southeast comer of Etiwanda Avenue
and Base Line Road. The residents asked general questions regarding increased traffic
congestion caused by freeway construction and new development in the area. The residents
were supportive of the project and looked forward to seeing it constructed.
G. Environmental Assessment The applicant prepared Part I of the Initial Study. Staff completed

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:40 p.m. Nancy Fong\Warren Morelion March 14, 2000
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-78 - JOHN LAING
HOMES- The design review of detailed site plan and elevations for a previously approved
subdivision consisting of 31 single-family lots on 9.11 acres of land in the Low-Medium Residential
District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located at the southwest
corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Base Line Road - APN: 227-171-004. Related Files Conditional
Use Permit 99-64. ~, ·
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-64 - JOHN LAING HOMES- The development.of 4 sir].gle-family
lots on 9.11 acres of land within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District (4-8 dwelling units per acre)
within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Base
Line Road -APN: 227-171-004. Related Files: Development Review99-78.
Design Parameters: The site is located at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Base Line
Road. It is currently vacant and slopes southeasterly at approximately 5 percent· Three large
California Fan Palm trees and one Silver Maple tree exist at the northeast corner of the property.
Two of the three palm trees will be preserved and relocated to serve as par~ of the entry treatment
for the proposed tract. A Eucalyptus windrow exists along the southern boundary. The frontage
along Etiwanda Avenue is under the special development criteda of the Etwianda Avenue Overlay
District· Nodh of the site are single-family homes. South, east, and west of the site are vacant
lands· On October 13, 1999, the Planning Commission approved the subdivision of 31 single-family
lots· At that time, the applicant, Regent Homes, did not include house products. The current
applicant, John Laing Homes, has purchased the properly with the intention of building their house
products. They are proposing three floor plans with three elevations for each floor plan consisting
of a Craftsman style, a Farmhouse style, and a Santa Barbara style. The homes are all two-story
and range in size from 2,430 square feet to 3,016 square feet· A condition of approval for the
subdivision requires that the plotting of homes for lots along Etiwanda Avenue (1, 11, 12, and 31 )
must front-on to the street· A mitigation for the removal of existing Eucalyptus windrows is
replacement with a new windrow in the backyard of homes that back onto Base Line Road.
Applicable Regulations: This project is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan (ESP) which has unique
development standards, including setbacks and architectural style. While no specific architectural
style is required, the ESP requires traditional architectural elements (see attached). Lots within 200
feet of Etiwanda Avenue are subject to the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District standards (see
attached), such as a 30-foot average setback, 25-foot minimum, as measured from, and a 25-foot
minimum building separation· At least 50 percent of the homes shall not be plotted parallel to the
street.
Yard Setback
Front Yard 37-foot minimum (from curb face)
Corner Side Yard 37-foot minimum (from curb face)
Side Yard 0'/15 feet (total 15 feet)
Rear Yard 20 feet from property line
Alon~] Base Line Road 45 feet (from curb face) per Development Code
Along Etiwanda Avenue 30 feet average, 25 feet minimum (from property
line)
· 0 lot line shall not be used at project boundary.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project. (~) ~ ~._~.z.~)
DRC AGENDA
DR 99-78
March 14, 2000
Page 2
1. Revise plotting to "skew" house plotting such that "at least 50 percent of dwellings shall not
be plotted parallel to the street frontage" per the Etiwanda Specific Plan requirement. None
of the dwellings meet this requirement.
2. Revise plotting of homes on Lots 1 and 31 along Etiwanda Avenue to meet 25-foot minimum
setback from the'property line per the Efiwanda Specific Plan.
3. Revise plotting of two-story homes on Lots 6, 7, and 20 to comply with extra deep setbacks
from the Comer side yard per the Efiwanda Specific Plan. All three lots are proposed at the
25-foot minimum setback (37 feet from the curb face).
4. Revise plotting to vary front setbacks +/- 5 feet for greater streetscape variety.
Secondar~ Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
1. Further enhance the individual character and design of each architectural style by using an
eave design that can be associated with them. The "Craftsman" style should use rafter tails
along the roof line. The "Farmhouse" style should use outlookers/kickers at peaks and at
the bottom of gable ends. The "Santa Barbara" style should use a cornice design.
2. Provide 360-degree architecture by upgrading all side and rear elevations to include window
mullions on key windows.
3. Special "enhanced architecture" should be given to lots that side or rear onto Base Line
Road or Etiwanda Avenue. Consideration shall be given to include a mixture of second-
story pop-outs; greater use of window mullions, shutters, pot shelves, and second-story
decks.
4. Articulate the front entry of Plan 1 to provide a distinction between each elevation entry.
5. Relocate the two California Fan Palm trees to the rear yard of Lot 12 directly behind the
block wall, at the corner of Base Line Road and Etiwanda Avenue because it will become
a backdrop to the Community Entry at that corner.
6. Reverse house plotting on Lot 17 to avoid car headlights shining into front windows.
Policy Issues: The following items are matters of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. Enlarge porch on Plan I so it is a minimum of 6 feet in depth.

The applicant agreed to revise the project per staff's comments. The Committee recommended
approval of the project subject to staff's comments with some changes. The Committee felt that the
applicant did not need to change the eves of the "Craftsman" and "Santa Barbara" style homes in
order to enhance their design. The Committee felt that additional front setback variation was not
needed because the homes use side-on garage treatments to enhance streetscape. In addition,
the applicant will not have to modify Plan 1 entries.

DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
() I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
env!ronment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project, or agreed to,
by the applicant. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
( ) I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
( ) I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but
at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based
upon the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially
Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated." An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
() I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects 1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier
EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed
project.

Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it
in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The Red
Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 3 miles west of the site, and the
Cucamooga Fault Zone lies approximately 3.7 miles north. These faults are both
capable of producing Mw 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively. Also, the San Jacinto
fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is 9.5 miles northeast of the site
and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is 10.5 miles northeast of
the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Liquefaction could
occur at the site if a strong earthquake coincided with an extended pedod of heavy
rains raising the local water table. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure
that geologic impacts are less than significant.

d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively fiat so grading will be minimal. Grading will even out the site
and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage.
f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the project because the site is
currently vacant. Grading will be done in accordance with a grading plan approved
by the City Engineer. The impact is not considered significant.
f-h) The General Plan indicates the Tujunga-Soboba soil association for the site which
has only slight erosion potential and runoff potential is slow to very slow. Soils are
suitable for residential development. The impact is not considered significant.
i) The site contains no unique geologic or physica~ features.

4. WATER. Will the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, ( ) ( ) (z) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff?
b) Exposure of people or property to water related ( ) ( ) (")
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration ( ) ( ) (~')

water body?
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
of water movements?
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or

Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 99-78, CUP 99-64 Page 6
Comments:
a) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate
and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new hardscape and roof
tops proposed on the currently vacant site, The developer will be required to
channel the surface runoff from the project to existing storm drains to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer, The impact is not considered significant,
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain.
c-e) The project site is not located near a body of water. The applicant will provide a
drainage study showing how stormwater runoff will be conveyed, prior to issuance
of a grading permit.
f-i) The project will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area
because the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

5. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposah
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to (,,) ( )
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (~-) (
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or ( ) (~')
cause any change in climate?
d) Create objectionable odors? ( ) ( ) (,,,)
Comments:
a-b) Typically, construction of a project this size will exceed SCAQMD thresholds during
grading activities for PM10 and No×, and may also exceed SCAQMD thresholds for
developed condition (operational impacts) for Nox. Development of 31 homes
represents only a fraction of the total emissions of Nox in the county. The short and
long term air quality impacts were addressed in the Initial Study for Tentative Tract
Map No. 15947. A Mitigation Monitoring Plan was adopted with the Tentative Tract
Map. Implementation of mitigation measures associated with approval of the Map will
reduce air quality impacts to less than significant.
c-d) The proposed project is the subdivision of 10 acres of vacant land into 31 single-
family lots, averaging approximately 10,000 square feet, in accordance with the
City code. The end use of the proposed project, Iow-medium residential, will not
generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or objectionable odors.

Comments:
a) The project will generate additional trips due to new construction. LSA Associates
prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis Tentative Tract Map No. 15947 on December 8,
1998. The report concluded that the project would generate 679 daily trips,
including 53 a.m. peak hour trips and 72 p.m. peak hour trips. All intersections will
operate with satisfactory levels of service with the exception of Level of Service
(LOS) at the 1-15 south-bound Ramp/Base Line Road intersection. A Mitigation
Monitoring Plan was adopted with the Tentative Tract Map. Implementation of
mitigation measures associated with approval of the Map will reduce traffic impacts
to less than significant.

Comments:
a) The project site was formerly used for agriculture and contains no native habitat.
The site consists of non-native grasses, some palm trees and a eucalyptus
windrow.
b-c) There are 3 mature palm trees and one silver maple tree at the corner of Baseline
Road and Etiwanda Avenue. and a eucalyptus windrow along the south property
boundary. An arborist report was prepared to evaluate the trees. The arborist
stated that silver maple tree and one the palm trees are in poor health and should
be removed and replaced. The eucalyptus windrow is in declining health and most
of the trees are diseased with the Boral beetle. The arborist recommended removal
and replacement of the windrows. The trees are considered "heritage trees" and
are subject to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (RCMC 19.08).
A Mitigation Monitoring Plan was adopted with Tentative Tract Map No. 15947.
Implementation of mitigation measures for tree replacement associated with
approval of the Map will reduce impacts to less than significant.
d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site.
e) The surrounding area is developed with existing housing and Baseline Road to the
north and Etiwanda Avenue to the east. This development has eliminated any
wildlife corridors that may have occurred in the past.

9. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of ( ) ( ) ) (")
hazardous substances (including, but not limited
to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)?
b) Possible interference with an emergency ( ) ( ) ) (~')
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
c) The creation of any health hazard or potential ( ) ( ) ( ) ('~)
health hazard?
d) Exposure of people to existing sources of ( ) ( ) (") ( )
potential health hazards?
e) increased fire hazard in areas with flammable ( ) ( ) ( ) (~')
brush, grass, or trees?
Comments:
a-d) During a site visit, no evidence of discarded drums, containers, hazardous wastes
or discolored soils were observed. There was no indication of underground storage
tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site. Based on the fact that the site is an
abandoned vineyard, pesticides were probably used in the past. However, the
vineyards have been abandoned for quite some time, twenty years or greater.
Based on this, it is reasonable to assume that sufficient time has past for weather
and rain to disperse and dilute any existing pesticides.

10. NOISE. Will the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? ( ) (,/) ( ) ( )
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? ( ) ( ) ( ) (,~)
Comments:
a) The project would increase noise levels since the site is currently vacant and the
development would add people and traffic to the area. The impact is not
considered significant.
b) The project is impacted by road noise from Baseline Road, a major arterial, and
Etiwanda Avenue, a secondary street. A Noise Study was prepared by LSA
Associates for Tentative Tract Map No. 15947, to determine the level of impacts
and the mitigation. Project related long term vehicular trip increases are anticipated
to be moderate. The incremental traffic noise level increase would be less than
significant. No significant traffic noise impacts on off-site sensitive uses are
anticipated. However, proposed on-site residential uses would be potentially
exposed to traffic noise levels exceeding the 60 dBA Ldn standard in outdoor
activity areas. As such, a Mitigation Monitoring Plan was adopted with the
Tentative Tract Map. Implementation of mitigation measures associated with
approval of the Map will reduce noise impacts to less than significant.

Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection - The project site is located on the southwest corner of Baseline
and Etiwanda in Rancho Cucamonga, and is served by a fire station located on the
northeast corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Baseline Road, approximately
1.5 miles west of the site. The addition of 31 homes is not consider significant.
Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
DR 99-78, CUP 99-64 Page 11
Police protection - Additional police protection is not required as the addition of
31 single family residential homes will not change current facility operating hours
and will not have a substantial increase in area to be patrolled as the project site is
relatively small, less than 10 acres.
Schools -The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint High School District
serve the project. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed
development. With mitigation, the impact to the School Districts is not considered
significant. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the
school impact fees.
Parks - Proposed 31 single family homes will not generate a substantial number of
new people to the area. Therefore, the new residential community will not
adversely impact local parks or recreational opportunities.
c) Public facilities - LSA Associates prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis for the project
on December 8, 1998. The report concluded that the project will generate 679 daily
trips, including 53 a.m. peak hour trips and 72 p.m. peak hour trips. All
intersections will operate with satisfactory levels of service with the exception of
Level of Service (LOS) at the 1-15 South-bound Ramp/Base Line Road

waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler. Waste will be
disposed of in the County of San Bernardino Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill. The
project will increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff
from new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. Drainage

Comments:
a-b) One of the site's street frontage is Etiwanda Avenue. Etiwanda Avenue Overlay
District has established special design and development criteria that protect and
enhance the visual and historic character and the quality of Etiwanda Avenue. The
proposed design features residential structures that front onto Etiwanda Avenue
and architectural enhancements for homes for the tier of lots along this street that
reflect the existing historic homes found along Etiwanda Avenue. With these
special design and development criteria of the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District
applied to the project, the impact would be insignificant.
c) The project will create new light and glare as the site is currently vacant. However,
the site has been identified as a residential site so new light will not significantly
affect sensitive receptors such as other residential development in the area.

b) Short term: Does the project have the potential ( ) ( ) (.') ( )
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitive period of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
c) Cumulative: Does the project have impacts that ( ) ( ) (.') ()
are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
d) Substantial adverse: Does the project have ( ) ( ) ( )
environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments:
a) The Initial Study did not identify any significant adverse impacts to biological
resources. According to an arbodst report, two eucalyptus windrows exist in the
middle of the site and along the south property boundary. The report concluded
that the trees were in declining health and recommended removal of the windrows
with replacement. The site is currently an abandoned grape vineyard and does not
contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threaten species.
b) The Initial Study for the related Tentative Tract Map identified short-term impacts to
air quality and noise with development of the project site. The short-term impacts
will occur do to proposed construction activities. However, the impacts will cease
once construction activities are completed. A Mitigation Monitoring Plan was
adopted with the Tentative Tract Map. Implementation of mitigation measures
associated with approval of the Map will reduce short-term impacts to less than
significant.
c) Cumulative effects of residential development in the Etiwanda Specific Plan Area
and the Adjacent Victoria Community Plan Area were identified in previous
environmental documents. Appropriate analysis and mitigation measures were
developed prior to the implementation of the Specific Plan and adjacent
Community Plan. No additional mitigation measures have been identified for
DR-99-78.

DR 99-78, CUP 99-64 Page 15
d) Development of 31 single-family residents would not cause substantial adverse
effects on humans, either directly or indirectly. The initial study identified
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially
significant impact. However, if the proposed mitigation measures are implemented
the impacts will be minimized. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality are
short-term-and will cease once construction activities are completed.

Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) within the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Related File:
Conditional Use Permit 99-64.
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
[] The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment.
[] The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate
the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project as revised may have a
significant effect on the environment.
if adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not be required.
Reasons to support this finding are included in the attached Initial Study. The project file and all related
documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division at 10500 Civic
Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-2847.

BY: Phillip Verbera, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT: CONDITION MODIFICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
99-10 - EVERGREEN DEVCO, INC., (WALGREENS) - A request to
modify the condition of approval requiring the undergrounding of overhead
utilities for a previously approved Conditional Use Permit to allow
construction and operation of a 16,170 square foot drive-thru pharmacy on
1.15 acres of land in the Neighborhood Commercial District, located on
the southeast corner of Carnelian and 19th Streets - APN 202-541-60
BACKGROUND:
This project, the construction and operation of a drive-thru pharmacy, was approved by
the Planning Commission on July 14, 1999. The Planning Commission's Resolution of
Approval No. 99-67 is attached as Exhibit "A." As established City Policy, this
development is required to complete the undergrounding of existing overhead electrical
and telephone lines on Carnelian Street fronting and adjacent to the project site. This is
specifically noted on Paragraph B.5, Engineering Division Item No. 4 on the attached
resolution, Exhibit "A." An Overhead Utility Plan showing existing utilities is attached as
Exhibit "B."
CONDITION MODIFICATION:
The applicant has requested that the City modify or eliminate the condition of approval
requiring the undergrounding of the existing overhead utility lines on Carnelian Street.
The applicant's request letter, with attachments 1, 2 and 3, is attached as Exhibit "C."
The appl!cant contends that under certain circumstances the Planning Commission may
decide to have the developer pay an in-lieu fee instead of actually undergrounding the
utilities. Staff is in concurrence with this, as this option is noted on the City policy for
undergrounding, Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96 and paragraph 1.b. The
resolution is attached as Exhibit "D."
ITEM D
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 99-10 - EVERGREEN DEVCO, INC
April 26, 2000
Page 2
ANALYSIS:
The applicant's request letter lists four items they believe are circumstances that would
warrant the Planning Commission to modify the undergrounding condition to an in-lieu
fee amount. Staff has reviewed those items in regard to the Policy Resolution and
offers the following clarifications and comments:
Item #1 - Yes, the property frontage is less than three hundred feet measured to the
centerline of 19th Street. However, the Policy Resolution relates to the
actual length of undergrounding as being short if it is less than 300 feet
and not to the length of frontage. In this case, the project is required to
underground from the first pole north of 19th Street to the first pole south of
the southerly project property line an approximate length of 465 feet.
Therefore, Item # 1 does not directly comply with the intent and
circumstances listed in the Policy Resolution for deciding on an in-lieu fee
instead of requiring the undergrounding of the lines.
Item#2-Utility lines are not undergrounded adjacent to site. Staff is in
concurrence, this is a fact and a circumstance noted in the Policy
Resolution for use by the Planning Commission in making its decision to
require undergrounding. However, this circumstance is included as a
stipulation that goes along or together with the above noted Item #1 as
written, "...(less than 300 feet and not undergrounded adjacent)...." This
circumstance alone may not be cause to modify the undergrounding
decision but should be incorporated and considered as a part of Item #1
above.
Items #3 and #4 - Staff has included two utility company letters submitted with the
applicant's request letter (Exhibit "C") as Attachment No. 3. The utility
letters address the Policy Resolution and circumstance related to "heavy
concentration of services" and "disruption to existing improvement." The
two letters are included for the Commission's information and possible use
in deciding the applicant's request.
The applicant's request letter also asks for consideration of the analogy being made that
the telephone trunk lines should be considered as equivalent of a 66 KV electrical line.
This may then become a circumstance that the undergrounding Policy Resolution lists
as an exception to undergrounding, Paragraph 4 of the Resolution. Staff will only state
that in the past telephone trunk lines have not normally been exempted from
undergrounding by being considered equivalent to a 66 KV electrical line. The analogy
is being noted for the Commission's consideration.

request. Attached are both a Resolution modifying the condition to pay an in-lieu fee
instead of undergrounding and a Resolution of denial of the request.

31 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 use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
b. 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.
4. 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 Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and 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, fudher, this
Commission 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 as conditions of approval.
c. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, the Planning Commission 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. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the
Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission 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.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,

Re: Walgreens Drug Store - SEC 19~h & Carnelian
Undergrounding
Dear Dan:
Thanks again for taking the time to speak with Sharon Douglas, Morrie
Brightbill and me earlier this week about the undergrounding for this project.
As per our conversation, I am writing to request that the Planning comrmssion
modify or eliminate Engineering Division Stipulation No. 4 of Resolution No. 99-67
(attachment no. 1) by way of the guidelines established in Resolution 87-96 (attachment
no. 2). This Engineering Stipulation requires that Evergreen complete the
undergrounding of existing electrical and telephone lines in Carnelian Street adjacent to
our project.
Resolution No. 87-96 states that there are 'certain circumstances under which the
Planning Commission may decide that undergrounding is impractical and may instead
require payment of an in-lieu of fee for the frontage of the property. Based on our
research of the work necessary to complete the undergrounding, I believe we meet the
circumstances described in Resolution No. 87-96 as follows:
1. The property frontage to the centerline of 19~h Street is less than three
hundred (300) feet.
2. The electrical and telephone lines are not undergrounded adjacent to our
project (north or south).
3. There is a heavy concentration of services to other users which include
four street'crossings.
4. The undergrounding work would cause a disruption of telephone
services to existing users and could require up to six months to complete,
and the electrical work would require closing the intersection of 19t~
Street and Carnelian.
Tel. (818) 240-8727 · 200 North Maryland Avenue, Suite 201 · Glendale, California 91206 · Fax (818) 240-1823
Tel. (602) 808-8600 · 2920 East Camelback Road, Suite 100 · Phoenix, Arizona 85016 · Fax (602) 808-9100
Tel. (206) 341-9419 · 114 Alaskan Way South, Suite 303 · Seattle, Washington 98104 · Fax (206) 341-9520
Additionally, both tile Engineering Stipulation and Resolution No. 87-96 state
that 66ky or larger electrical lines do not need to be placed underground. This
particular project involves a 1,500 pair main telephone h'unk line which is the telephone
equivalent of a 66kv or larger electrical line. Therefore, ail analogy can be made that if
the undergrounding of 66ky or larger electrical lines is too costly and unreasonable a
requirement for a project, the same conclusion can be drawn with respect to a 1,500 pair
main telephone trunk line.
I have included copies of letters received from Southern California Edison and
GTE Network Services (attachment no. 3) documenting the extraordinary amount of
work involved in completing this undergrounding. The cost to complete this work will
be nearly one-third the cost to construct our building which seems to be a
disproportionate burden on this particular project. Further, the utility companies, by
their letters, are discouraging the completion of this work.
Thanks again for working with us. Please let me know if there is any additional
information I can or should provide that might help our case.
Sincerely,
Heather Balzer

RE: The Undergrounding of Edison Utility Poles at 6701 Carnelian,
Rancho Cucamonga
Dear Heather,
In regards to the under~otmdiag ofth~ Edison utility poles fronting your project for the
Walgreeas in Rancho Cucamonga, i am of the opinion as your Edison Electrical
Distribution Planner, that the Edison fees alone will be in excess of S120,000. The job
will entail crossing Carnelian in two iocations, crossing 19~ St. ia two locatior,...q, the
installation to a 7 ~ X 14' underground vault on Carnelian, the installation of two
transformers~ as well as the installation o£m'o pedestals to serve traffic control and
imgation. The intersection at Carnelian and 19~ St. w/Il have to be closed during.
construction. My initial estimate does not include thc under~ounding of the main line
telephone system or cable t.v. system attached to the subject poles.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (909) 357-6240.

Attention: Ms. Heather Balzer
Dear Ms. Balzer,
GTE has received a request tO underground several sect;ohs of aerial telephon~
facilities fronting a proposed Walgreen store on the South East comer of 19Th
Street and Carnelian Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamon<:ja.
My research has deten'nined that approximately t500 working lines are involved
wffh a consicleraDle amount of these lines being special drcuits. These circuits
w~ll require all new re-designs. NOt 0nly is the process costly, probably exceeding
$100,000, it is very time consuming, taking about six months to a year to
complete. Add to this the cost of installing a s~0stnjcture system (anywhere fi.om
S30,000 to .~0,000) and you ci~n 5P.~ the total expense involved.
If I can be of any further assistance, you can contact me at 90g/469-6327.

disruption to existing improvements, etc., the Developer shall pay an
in-lieu fee for the full amount per Section 6.
c. The Developer shall be eligible for reimbursement of one-half the cost
of undergrounding from future developments as they occur on the

shall pay a fee to the City for one-half the amount per Seution 6.
3. Lines on both sides of the street:- The Developer shall comply with
Section 1 above and be eligib)e for reimbursement or pay additional fees
so that he bears a total expense equivalent to one-half the total cost of
undergrounding the lines on both sides of the street.

undergrounded or in-lieu fees paid in accordance with section l, 2 or 3,
above, except for 66 KV or larger electrical lines.
5. Limits of Responsibilities:
a. In-lieu fees shall be based upon the length of the property being
developed from property line to property line (the center of'adjacent
streets for corner properties).
b. Undergrounding shall include the entire project frontage ahd extend
to: (1) the first existing pole off-site from the project boundaries
(across the street for corner properties), (2) a new pole erected at a
project boundary (across the street for corner properties), or (3) an
existing pole within 5 feet of a project boundary, except at a.corner.
6. Fee Amount: The amount for in-lieu fees shall equal the length (per
. Section 5. a) times the unit amount as established by the City Council
based upon information supplied by the utility companies and as updated
periodically as deemed necessary.
7. Exemptions: The following types of projects shall be exempt from this
policy:
a. The addition of functional equipment to existing developments, such
as: loading docks, silos, satellite dishes, antennas, water tanks, air
conditioners, cooling towers, enclosure of an outdoor storage area,
parking and loading areas, block walls and fences, etc.
b. Building additions or new free standing buildings of less than 25% of
the floor area of the existing building(s) on the same assessor's
parcel, or 5,000 square feet, whichever is less.

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Kid Coury, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 00-02 - CHARLE~
JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A request to consider initiation of text changes to
the Industrial Area Specific Plan to add "Medium Manufacturing" and
"Medium Wholesale, Storage and Distribution" as conditionally permitted uses
in Subarea 6.
BACKGROUND: Charles Joseph Associates represents a developer interested in constructing
warehouse distribution buildings in excess of 50,000 square feet on the south side of 6th Street
between the Deer Creek Flood Control Channel and Haven Avenue (see Exhibit "D"). They are
requesting that the Planning Commission initiate an amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan
to add "Medium Manufacturing" and "Medium Wholesale, Storage and Distribution" as conditionally
permitted uses.
DEFINITIONS: "Medium Manufacturing" and "Medium Wholesale, Storage and Distribution" are
defined as follows:
Medium Manufacturinq: "Activities typically include, but are not limited to: manufacturing,
compounding of materials, processing, assembly, packaging, treatment or fabrication of
materials and products, which require frequent large container truck traffic or rail traffic, or
the transport of heavy, bulky items". ....
Medium Wholesale, Stora.qe and Distribution: "Activities typically include, but are not limited
to: wholesale, storage and warehousing services. Included are multi-tenant or speculative
buildings with over 50,000 square feet of warehouse space". ....
ANALYSIS: The Industrial Area Specific Plan establishes a comprehensive plan for the
development of the industrial area. The industrial area is divided into Subareas based upon five
major land use categories which range in intensity from lightest to heaviest as follows: Industrial
Park, General Industrial, Mixed Use, Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial, and Heavy Industrial. Each
Subarea has distinct land use regulations and development standards. Subarea 6 is designated for
Industrial Park and has a Haven Avenue Overlay District to encourage office uses within 300 feet of
Haven Avenue.
ITEM E
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
ISPA 00-02- CHARLES JOSEPH ASSO.
April26,2000
Page2
"Medium Manufacturing" and "Medium Wholesale, Storage and Distribution" are not
allowed in any of the five Industrial Park Subareas 6, 7, 12, 16, and 17. They are permitted
uses within the General Industrial, Minimum impact Heavy Industrial, and Heavy industrial
Subareas 5, 9 ,10, 11, 13, 14 and 15, which are essentially along 8th Street and Milliken
Avenue, and conditionally permitted uses in Subareas 1, 2 and 3, which are predominantly
along Arrow Route (see Exhibit "B"). Subarea 6 lies generally along Haven Avenue
between 4th Street and Arrow Route. The Specific Plan states that the Haven Avenue
Corridor is a rare opportunity for the City to enhance its image by encouraging intensive,
high quality office and professional development along the Corridor, hence the Overlay
designation.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission initiate the amendment for
the Industrial Area Specific Plan for Subarea 6. This action would require staff to proceed with
detailed analysis, including relationship to General Plan Update, and to advertise for public hearing.

Re: Proposed Amendment to Industrial Specific Plan-Subarea 6 to allow
Medium Industrial Uses
Chairman and Planning Commission:
Our client, Cabot Industrial Trust is interested in development of properties on
the south side of Sixth Street, west of Haven Avenue. Currently, Subarea 6
zoning does not allow medium industrial uses in the area. The companies who
would lease the proposed buildings would require the "Medium" use designation
in buildings larger than 50,000 square feet.
A formal application was made on March 28, 2000, to amend the Specific Plan to
allow such uses. Enclosed please find a preliminary site plan we are considering
for the property. The proposed amendment would include the 16-acre parcel
fronting Haven Avenue, which is subject to the Haven Avenue Overlay. This
amendment would not impact the requirements of the Overlay District. In
response to conversation with Planning staff, we would be willing to make the
addition of medium industrial uses in the entire 16 acres fronting Haven Avenue
subject to the obtaining of a Conditional Use Permit. This parcel extends 554 feet
from Haven Avenue.
In addition, property owners to the south of our project site have contacted us
regarding proposed development of these properties and expressed a concern
that Center Street not be connected through the property. Their concern is that
truck traffic from the proposed project, as well as the existing industrial users to
the north of Sixth Street would negatively impact the primarily office development
that currently extends north from Fourth Street. A text amendment would need to
be initiated to eliminate the need to connect Center Street from Sixth Street to its
terminus at our south property line.
