B. ORDINANCE.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
1. 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 July 16, 2003, including written and oral
staff reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically
finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property within the City; and

environment; and

of the Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan.

3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set
forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes
as follows:
a. The amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the
Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan or the General Plan
and will provide for the logical development of the Specific Plan and the
General Plan and with related development; and
b, The amendment promotes the goals and objectives of the Industrial
Districts Chapter of the Development Code; and
c. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity; and
d. The subject application is consistent with the objectives of the Rancho
Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan, and the purposes of the
Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan; and
e. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan.
4. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified as a
Master EIR for the Industrial Area Subarea 18 Specific Plan. The California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21157.1 provides that the
preparation and certification of a Master F:IR allows for the limited review of
subsequent projects that were described in the Master EIR as being within
the scope of the reporting accordance with certain requirements. However,
because of the changes that are submitted by this project, an addendum was
prepared for said project. An addendum to the Subarea 18 Specific Plan final
EIR is appropriate documentation because some changes or additions are
necessary to describe the proposed residential project but none of the
conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the
preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The City Council has
reviewed and considered the attached addendum based on the following
findings:
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major
revisions to the previous EIR because of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in severity of previously identified
significant effects.
b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the project is undertaken, which will require
major revisions to the previous EIR because of the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects.

¢. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not
known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable
diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of
the following: 1) the project will have one or more significant effects not
discussed in the previous EIR, 2) significant effects previously examined
will be substantially more severe that shown in the previous EIR, 3)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or 4) mitigation measures or
alternatives, which are considerably different from those analyzed in the
final EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4
above, this Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment DRC2003-
00254, as shown in the staff report.
6. The Secretary to this Council shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.
