This is a fundraising event to benefit the Rancho Cucamonga YMCA. RACKGROLrNI~/ANAI,YSIS: The City has received a request again this year from Ron Stark, representing Marks CableVision, for the City to waive facility rental fees for use of the Epicenter Expanded Parking Lot on June 27, 1998, for their Rancho Rally fundraiser. The Rancho Rally is a community fundraiser for the YMCA. USA/M-Car promotes these types of events as fundraisers in cities throughout the country.

As we did last year, we would like to use the parking area without a cash outlay so more dollars can go to the YMCA. I realize that the parking lot has a real value and that the City would normally charge around $3,000. I would as we did last year suggest a trade arrangement. We would give you (the City) $3,000 in cable advertising. You could use this advertising to promote your city events, Art in the Park, or any Concerts you may be planning, etc. Your advertisements will be shown on our major cable networks like CNN, ESPN, USA, Lifetime, Discovery, Nickelodeon and others. As each event approached I would help you create an advertising schedule that would meet that specific event's needs. Your $3,000 would act as a credit on our books to use at your discretion. This way the City still receives value for the Epicenter parking lot, you receive additional promotion for your ~vents, the YMCA gets to keep more of the money that is raised and Marks continues to support city events...everyone wins! docs/adsales/mcrcity. sam As discussed we would like to use the Epicenter's back parking area on Saturday, June 27. We would need to go in sometime the previous evening for about 4 hours of setup. I understand that your Friday event may be ending early that evening and we will be ha'i~py to wait until that event is completely wrapped up before we begin set-up. These sanctioned races are becoming very popular. The City of San Bernardino is this year hosting two events. M-Car races are also held in Riverside, Ternecula, Redlands, Victorville, Hemet, Palm Desert and other cites throughout Southern California and the Nation. Our goal is to raise between $5,000 and $10,000 for the YMCA, to bring a unique event to our city and to have some fun!

BACKGROUND/ANAI,YSIS The purpose of this purchase ahead of a consU~ction contract is to insure the availability of the poles. Normal manufacturing and delivery of such poles can mice as long as 12 weeks. Therefore, staff obtained specifications, as a first order of the design phase, from the consultant designer, Dream Engineering. With the assistance of the Dream Engineering, pole manufacturers were solicited to find one who could meet the City's design standards and our pressing time schedule. The firm of Whitco Pole Company was the most responsive to our requests for price and delivery time. Whitco has indicated they can deliver the poles within a six-week time frame. Other proposals delivery times were unacceptable to the City's needs. Respectfully submitted, William J.

O'Neil, City Engineer Mike Olivier, Senior Civil Engineer APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL RAIL AUTHORITY'S (SCRRA) FUNDING APPLICATION FOR ADDITIONAL METROLINK RAIL CARS RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution supporting Southern California Regional Rail Authority's (SCRRA) funding application for additional Metrolink rail cars. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS In January of this year, SCRRA requested local cities and agencies to support their request for $50 million over the six-year State Transportation Improvement Program cycle under Senate Bill 45 for additional Metrolink rail cars. The request did not elicit much support from local agencies since they felt it might conflict with locally-preferred projects. One of our City's most critical projects in rail transit is expansion of our Metrolink station platforms and parking lot. Critical street projects are the widening of Haven Avenue from Base Line Road to the Route 30 Freeway and the Carnelian Street Improvements from San Bernardino Road to Base Line Road. However, in March local agencies were informed that a successful application from the SB45 program by Metrolink for additional rail cars would not compete with local street projects since SCRRA's rail procurement project was placed in an Intercity Rail funding pot. Also, our City's expansion of the Metrolink Station will not compete with Intercity Rail projects since in the Inland Empire Metrolink is considered commuter rail, and commuter rail proje. c_~ do not compete against Intercity Rail projects in the SB45 program. Attached are letters of support to Mr. Robert Wolf, Chairman California Transportation Commission, and Mr. James Van Loben Sels, Office of the Director, Cattrans. The resolution supporting SCRRA's application can be attached to the letters. Respectfully submitted, William J.

In providing a convenient means of transportation for residents in our community Metrolink has contributed to improved air quality and reduced gridlock. Since construction of the station was completed in 1994, ridership via Metrolink has increased dramatically, even to the extent of over-filling the parking lot at the station. Because of the increasing demand for ridership on Metrolink trains, our City Council strongly supports SCRRA's funding application for additional railcars from Intercity Rail funds under the SB45 program.

RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Commission recommends certification of the EIR, adoption of the Statement of Overriding Consideration, and the Mitigation Monitoring Program. BACKGROUND On March 11 and 25, 1998, the Planning Commission conducted public hearings to review the final Environmental impact Report. At the March 25, 1998, public hearing, an attorney representing the property owner on the south side of Foothill Boulevard raised a concern with the mitigation of a 25- foot wide parkway requirement at the east side of Day Creek Boulevard. This issue is addressed in the related General Plan and Victoda Community Plan Amendments report. A copy of the final EIR was delivered to the Council on March 30, 1998. CITY CQUNCIL STAFF REPORT EIR FOR GPA 96-03B & 97-01, VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 April 15, 1998 Page 2 - SCE ANALYSIS Ao Purpose of an I~1~: The purpose of the Environmental Impact Report is to inform the public about any significant impacts to the physical environment as a result of a project, identify ways to avoid or lessen the impacts, identify alternatives, and promote public participation. The content in the EIR becomes a planning tool for the City Council to use in determining an appropriate and best land use arrangement for the project area and for the entire City. The detailed analysis of the identified impacts and mitigation as a result of the proposed land use amendments are contained in the attached Planning Commission staff report dated March 11, 1998. So Statement of Overriding Considerations: As a result of residential and commercial development, the short term and long term air quality impacts will exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management Distdct (SCAQMD) thresholds of significance. The mitigation listed in the EIR cannot reduce the impact~ to a less than significant level. Therefore, the air quality impacts are still considered significant and unavoidable because further mitigation is technically and economically infeasible. According to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental dsks in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concerns. Attached to the City Council Resolution is the proposed Facts of Findings and Statements of Overriding Coneidemtione. FACTS FOR FINDING The Planning Commission recommends the Council make the findings and conclusions as contained in the attached City Council Resolutions and Ordinances. CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public headng in the Inl=nd V=li~f n=ily R, Jlletin newspaper, the property was posted with three 4- by 8-foot public headng signs, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site and within approximately 1,000 feet east of the project site between Highland Avenue and the abandoned rail line. A neighborhood meeting was conducted by staff on July 22, 1997, at the beginning of the EIR process; however, no residents attended.

Related General Plan Amendments will be considered on March 25, 1998. ABSTRACT: This is the first of two public hearings for the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as part of the required 30 days public review pedod after a Notice of Completion and availability for public review of the draft EIR is advertised in the newspaper. For this hearing, the Planning Commission should review the report, receive public comments, and continue the item to the March 25 hearing. At the next meeting, the Commission will receive public comments again, conclude the hearing, discuss and make recommendations to the City Council for both the EIR certification and the proposed Land Use changes. A copy of the final EIR was delivered to the Commission on February 12, 1998. BACKGROUND: Last April, Southern California Edison (SCE) processed applications to change the land use designation for their surplus utility corridor. The utility corridor is located along the east side of the future Day Creek Boulevard between Highland Avenue and 1-15. According to SCE, the surplus land was sold to private development companies. Staff determined that a focused EIR was required to address the anticipated environmental impacts as a result of additional residential and commercial land available for future development. The City hired a consultant paid for by SCE, to prepare the EIR. Recently, the City has received a development proposal for the section of the utility corridor between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01, VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 - SCE March 11, 1998 Page 2 ANALYSIS: Purpose of an F_JR: The purpose of the Environmental Impact Report is to inform the public about any signi¢cant impacts to the physical environment as a result of a project, identify ways to avoid or lessen the impacts, identify alternatives, and promote public participation. The content in the EIR becomes a planning tool for the Planning Commission and the City Council to use in determining the appropriate and the best land use arrangement for the project area and for the entire City. EIR process for GPA 96-03B and 97-01 and VCPA 96-01 and 97-01: The EIR has been processed in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Notice of Preparation (NOP): On July 10, 1997, a NOP of a draft EIR for the proposed land use changes was circulated. Six responses were received and they were: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Chaffey Joint Union High School District, Eftwanda School District, Cucamonga County Water Distdct (CCWD), Scuthem California Association of Government (SCAG), and California Department of Transportation. The consultants incorporated the comments from these agencies with the preparation of the draft EIR. Scoping and Neighborhood Meeting: On July 10, 1997, a notice of the scopingJneighborhood meeting was sent to all responsible agencies and property owners within and beyond the required 300 feet of the project site. Staff expanded the notification boundahes to approximately 1,000 feet east of the project site between Highland Avenue and the railroad tracks. The pu,'~e of th~ $coping/neighborhood meeting was to obtain public input eady in the EIR process. The notified property owners were invited to attend the meeting at 7 p.m. on July 22, 1997 in the City Hall. Members of staff, members of the City's consultants and the applicant were at the meeting. No property owners attended the meeting, Draft FIR Circulation (Notice of Completion): The draft EIR was completed on November 12, 1997, and circulated according to CEQA requirements with the public review pedod ending on December 29, 1997. Eight comments were received and they were: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, SANBAG, SCAG, State Clearinghouse (OPR), Rancho Cucamonga Fire District, Chino Basin Municipal Water District, Metropolitan Water District, and Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The consultant prepared responses to the comments and revised the pertinent sections of the document to address them. Final FIR and Notice of Availability for Public Review: The Final EIR was completed and circulated on February 18, 1998, to those agencies that responded to the draft EIR. The Notice of Availability for public review was advertised in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper with the review period ending on March 25, 1998. Summary of Significant Impacts and Mitigation: This section of the report describes and summarizes the significant impacts and the mitigations that reduce them to a less than significant level. Exhibit "D" is the detailed list of the significant impacts and the mitigation. Drainage: The proposed project would increase the water runoff because of the increase in the impervious surface as a result of future residential and commercial development. The drainage study identified the required changes to the Master Plan PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01, VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 - SCE March 11, 1998 Page 3 storm drain facilities to account for the increase m developable land. With the ~mptement, ation of the required storm drain facilities, the impacts will be reduced to a less than ~gnificant level. Traffic and Circulation: The change in land use will increase the number of vehicular tnps. A Traffic Study and a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) were done to comply with the local and regional requirements of Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) and San Bernardino County (SANBAG). Eleven key intersections in the City and two freeways were identified for improvements as shown in Exhibit "D." At the time of development, developers will be responsible for contributing their fair share of improvements by paying the City's adopted traffic impact fees and/or constructing the required improvements. Also, at each phase of development, a site specific traffic study will be required to determine whether the incremental increase in traffic would cause any of the intersections under investigation to result in unsatisfactory level of service and the mitigation to address them. As a result of the mitigation, the traffic and circulation impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level. The following eleven intersections and two freeways were identified for improvements: Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard Rochester Avenue and Highland Avenue Rochester Avenue and Base Line Road Rochester Avenue and Foothill Boulevard Day Creek Boulevard and Highland Avenue Day Creek Boulevard and Base Line Road Day Creek Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard Eftwanda Avenue and Base Line Road Eftwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard 1-15 southbound ramp and Base Line Road East Avenue and Base Line Road 1-15 between Jurupa Street and 1-10 I-15 between Fourth Street and Foothill Boulevard Air Quality: The short and long term air quality impacts as a result of residential and commercial development will exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds of significance. According to the EIR, the impacts coming from the grading and the construction activities of the project area can be mitigated to a less than significant level. The mitigation is as listed in Exhibit "D." The increase in vehicular tdps because of the residential and commercial development would produce emissions that exceed SCAQMD daily thresholds of pollutants. However, the mitigation described in Exhibit "D" cannot reduce the impacts to a less than significant level. The impacts are still considered significant and unavoidable. Further mitigation is technically and economically infeasible. This issue will be further discussed in Section E of the report. Noise: The noise from the grading and construction activities as well as noise from traffic will impact the existing and future residential areas. Implementation of the mitigation listed in Exhibit "D" will reduce the impacts to a less than significant level. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01, VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 - SCE March 11, 1998 Page 4 Schools: Project area is within Eftwanda School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District. Schools within the two districts are at or above capacity. Future developm~"ht will generate more students for the already impacted school districts. The total number of students generated by the project is based on the number of dwelling units for each land use category ( the highest density on the total acreage of each land use category) multiplied by the student generation rates from both school districts. Exhibit "1" is a table that shows the breakdown of the number of new students by grades. The estimated increased number of new students to the two school districts are 328 students for K - Grades 5, 146 students for Grades 6 - 8, and 151 students for Grades 9 - 12. To reduce the impact to a less than significant level, the developer at each phase of development projects will have to enter in an agreement with both school districts to provide adequate mitigation and participate in the school districts' Mello- Roos Community Facilities Districts for alternative methods to finance the mitigation of school impacts. The City has received a response from Chaffey Join Union High School Distdct that they have accepted the mitigation listed in Exhibit "E" as adequate. Police and Fire Protection: Future development within the project area will place considerable demand 'on law enforcement and fire protection services. The impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level by forming and/or joining the Law Enforcement and the Fire Protection Community Facilities Districts to pay for and provide the services to the project area. Park =nd Recreation: The residential portion of the proposed project will increase the demand for active recreation facilities causing an impact to City parks. The impact can be reduced to a less than significant level. At the time of development, the developer will be responsible for dedicating. the equivalent of 11.3 acres in park fees or in park land. Also, the proposed project would increase the demand for trail use in the City. A mitigation is to widen the east side of future Day Creek Boulevard to 25 feet and provide a multi-use trail from Highland Avenue south to terminate at the City's adult sport complex. This multi-use trail should be designed to connect to the planned or existing trail system in the Eftwanda North Specific Plan. The specific design of the multi-use trail could be determined at the time of development plans. Aesthetics: The change in land use would replace 84.15 acres of undeveloped open space corridor with residential and commercial uses, which would significantly alter the existing and future view corridor. The impact can be reduced to a less than significant level with the increase in parkway width at the east side of Day Creek Boulevard and the landscape edge treatments as listed in Exhibit "D." Cultural Resources: The potential for historic human burials may be present in a small portion of the project area specifically on the north side of Base Line Road approximately 500 feet in distance. A mitigation is to require a qualified archeologist to be present on site during rough grading and other significant ground disturbing activities. 10. Biological Resources. and Resoonse from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: A biological assessment was prepared for the project area. The consultant followed the "protocol" of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFVVS) in surveying the site for the California Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Merriam Kangaroo Rat. They did not find or trap PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01, VCPA 96-01 & 97-0t - SCE March 11, 1998 Page 5 the two mentioned species. They determined that the Coastal Sage Scrub present on ~sotated portions of the site is probably remnant Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub. The Sage Scrub hab~at is of poor quality when compared to the prime habitat in north Eftwanda area, because the vegetation is dominated almost exclusively by a single species, California Buckwheat. They further found that the habitat is fragmented from the north Eftwanda Preserve and surrounding buffer land. They concluded that there is no adverse impact on the viability of biological resources and that long term habitat preservation planning would not be precluded. The consultant stated that mitigation is not warranted. However, the USF"WS responded to the draft EIR and recommended that the Southern California Edison Company establish a mitigation bank, by conserving an area contiguous with the North Eftwanda Preserve, into which subsequent developments would be required to buy their fair share. The USFVV$ did not include its recommendation of the parameters of mitigation, that is the number of acres to be mitigated and land banked. Staff supports our consultant's conclusion that mitigation is not warranted. Exhibit "E" are the USFWS comments a&d our consultant's responses. .D. The Proposed Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan fMSHCP} and the Interim Project Review Guidelines: In 1995, the City along with 11 participating cities, the County, the USFWS and California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate in the development of a Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) for ~ sens'~ive habitats. The County is the lead agency in preparing the plan with an extended completion of the plan e~timated at year 2002. The MOU also establishes Interim Review Guidelinee allowing projects to proceed while the MSHCP is under development. Exhibit "1=" is a copy of the MOU with the Intedm Project Review Guidelines. The Interim Review Guidelines state that the recommendations of the USFVVS and DFG are advisory. The final decisions of whether to approve, modify, or deny a project remains in the hands of the lead agency, which in this case is the City. The City retains the discretion to make the determination that a project within the MSHCP area, because of the project's characteristics, has no impact on the viability of biological resources and would not preclude long term preservation planning. unavoidable Im!;)acts: As stated in the above Section C-3, even with the implementation of the mitigation, air quality impacts cannot be reduced to a less than significant level. The City must balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental dsks in determining whether to approve the project. If the benefits outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts, the City may adopt a statement of its view that the significant unavoidable adverse impacts are acceptable because of overriding concerns. Exhibit "J" is the proposed Facts of Findings and Statements of Overnding Considerations for the Commission's review. Alternatives Considered: As required by CEQA, a total of four alternatives were considered, namely, no proje~Jdevelopment, open space greenbelt and trail, lower density, and off-site project. Exhibit "G" is a table that compares the four alternatives to the proposed project. A no project/development alternative is environmentally superior. However, it fails to meet the City's objectives to provide a variety of housing, preserve the single family character of residential neighborhoods, protect neighborhood quality, and provide in-fill residential and commercial development within the context of a planned community. Open space greenbelt and trails alternative would have less significant environmental impacts. However, the implementation of this alternative would have a maintenance financial burden on the City in PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01. VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 - SCE March 11, 1998 Page 6 light of Proposition 218 which made this alternative riscally infeasible. The lower density and the off-site alternatives have similar impacts when compared to the proposed project. The lower density ,~"ould reduce the demand on public services such as schools, parks, and safety. Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP): CEQA requires the City to adopt a monitoring program for ensuring compliance of the adopted mitigation measures or changes that are required to be made to the project, as shown in Exhibit "H." The MMP is a reporting program, which identifies each adopted mitigation or required change in the project design that reduces the impacts to a less than significant level. It is intended for the City to gauge the effectiveness of the mitigation measures. Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff believes that the EIR has been prepared in compliance with CEQA. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the recommendation to the City Council to determine the EIR adequate and certify it. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted with three 4 by 8 feet public hearing signs, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site and within approximately 1,000 feet east of the project site between Highland Avenue and the railroad tracks. RFCOMM~:NDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission conduct the hearing to receive public input, have questions for staff and continue the item to the March 25 hearing.

Chino Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD) is a service provider for the south-western portion of San Bernardino County which includes the Cities of Fontarm, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Upland, Montclair, Chino and Chino Hills. The District also provides service to a portion of the former Chino Agricultural Preserve. Programs the District is involved in can be broken down into four primary service programs. These pro¢lrams include regional domestic wastewater treatment and disposal, non-reclaimable wastewater collection and disposal, importation of supplemental water supplies, and water resources management within the Chino Groundwater Basin.

Comment noted. The project site is not located on prime agricultural land. Please refer to Appendix A Notice of Preparation, pages 9 and 10 of the two Imtial Studies for the proposed project The Initial Study states... "the project site is located in an open space corridor desi~xmted for use as an electri- Cld transmission lille comdor. The site is not presently used for agricul- tural purposes..." The purpose of the Initi~ Study is to determine whether a proposed project would have potentially si~lificrmt physical effects on the environment. The Imtial Study is used to focus the EIR on the potential significant effects and allows the Lead Agency to avoid ullllecessary analysis on those effects that are not potentially sigrlificant (CEQA Guidelines Section 15063[c][3]). The City has focused the EIR on those impacts that were determined in the Initial Study to be poten- tially significant. Section 2.4 on page 2-2 in the Draft EIR identifies the potentially significant impacts of the proposed project discussed in the EI1L Effects found not to be significant, as determined in the Initial Study are identified in Section 2.5 on page 2-5 of the Draft EIIL Geol- ogy and soils were determined to not have a potentially significant effect on or from the proposed project; therefore, the analysis of the proposed project on agricultural soils was not carned forward in the EI1L This policy. is not appropriate at a project specific level.

The general plan amendments also provide for regional commercial development. The land use amendments would have a positive effect on the economic viability of the City: how- ever, a fiscal analysis for the proposed amendmen~ has not been pre- -,paced, or is necessary. for the EIK CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(f) states ..."economic and social changes resulting from a proiect shall not be treated as significant effects on the environment. Economic or social changes may be used, however, to determine that a physical c~,ange shall be regarded as a significant effect on the environment .... "':he economic viability of a project is not a purview of the EIR and therefore, was not addressed. Comment noted. The City's General Plan Housing Element Policy 6:1 promotes efforts to provide 30 percent of the persons employed in the City with housing opportunites. Program 6.A. 1 encourages the location of new business and industry in the City through promotional activities and through removal of governmental constraints on development. The proposed general plan amendments provide an opportunity for a v-aciety of hous- ing types to be constructed in dose prczzimity to a regional commercial area. Mitigation measure 4.5.2(2) further facilitate the relationship between housing and commercial (job) centers by providing trail sys- tems that link the two. It ca~ not be expected that each project that is processed through a local jurisdiction cam provide both an equal amount of job~ and homing to meet the 'ffuisdiction's jobs/housing balance. This is a policy that is better implemented at the General Plan level. Comment noted. Comment noted. Comment noted. Comment noted. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126(d)(4), the ErR shall identify the environmentally superior alternative among the alternatives. The Lead Agency also must discuss why an alternative has been eliminated as not feasible. The Draft ErR on page 6-14 dis- cusses why this alternative is not feasible. There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of Alternative 2 Open Space Pack Greenbelt Trails S.vstem Alternative. If the site is to be converted to a open space/irails system, the City would have to 1) purchase the prop- erty, 2) construct the ~ system, and 3) provide long-term mainte- nance of a trail system on the 84.15-acre site. The cost to purchase the property, and construct and maintain the trails may cause an additional financial burden on the City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 218, additional use taxes would have to go to City wide vote. Long-term funding for a City trail system on this site is not certain. 2/6/98 (R: \C'~G -y50~-EIR'~rS IvFOCO WPD) 18 L.[A A.isoc~ates, Inc 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. It is the conclusion of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that, due to the poor quality. of coastal sage scrub habitat on the site, the project will not result in significant impacts to this habitat type. In addition, due to the poor quality of habitat and the distance and fragmentation of the ~.,site from the North Etiwanda Preserve and surrounding buffer lands, it is the conclusion of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that the project has no impact on the viability of biological resources and will not preclude long-term preservation plannm$. Therefore, it is concluded that ,~itiga- tion measures are not warranted for the loss of coastal sage scrub lxom the site.

Comment noted. Comment noted. Refer to response to Comment A-2.5 and A-2.25 for the discussion on the use of the Initial Study to focus the £IR and determine which im- pacts of the proposed project are potentially significant. Both Initial Studies determined that the proposed project would not have a signifi- cant impact on water supply and, thereatore, the impact analyais for water use was not carried further in the EI1L Section 2.5 on page 2-7, discusses the project's impam on water. At the time development is proposed, the developer would comply with all the conditions of ap- proval by the water purveyor which may include the use of reclaimed water for landscaping purposes. The proposed project is not proposing a ~rastewazer treatment plant. This policy nders to the planning of facilities by v,-astewater treatment agenoes. However, to clarify the comment, the lmtial Study prepared for the proposed general plan amendments (contained in Appendix A of the Draft EIR,) and circulated with the Notice of Pr~am=ation for an EIR on the proposed project, discusses the project impacts on the wastewater system which was determined to be not significant. Because the project's impacts on wastewater facilities was determined not to be significant, the impact analysis of the proposed project on wastewater was not carried forwn~ in the Ell{ (refer to the discussion on the pur- pose of the Imtial Study in response to comment A-2.5 above). Furthermore, effects found not to be significant, as determined in the Initial Study, are identified in Section 2.5 on page 2-5 of the Draft EIR. Page 2-8 of the Draft EIR states...'q'he closest of these is Regional Plant 1 (RP-1) in the City of Ontario. This facility currenfiy treats approximately 34 million gallons per day, but has a capacity to treat 44 million gallons per day upon final expansion of the facility. CBMWD is also in the process of building Regional Plant 4 (RP-4) which is anticipated to be operauonal in 1998 or 1999. RP-4 is planned to be located on Etiwanda ,Avenue to the east of the project site between San Bernardino Avenue and Arrow Highway. This plant will have a first phase treatment capac- ity of 7 million gallons per clay. Either of these facilities could serve the project site dependent on project phasing; however, RP-1 would be the most likely treatment facility."

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, California 91729 Interior Environmental Impact Report General Plan Amendments 96-03B & 97-01 and Victoria Community Plan Amendments 96-01 & 97-01/Edison Company (SCH# 97071043) Dear Ms. Fong: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the above referenced document, received by our office on November 17, 1997. We provide the following comments in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and the Memorandum of Understanding for the Purpose of Developing and Implementing a Habitat Conservation Plan to Conserve Wildlife and Plant Species of Concern in the San Bernardino Valley. The Service f'mds that the ultimate development allowed by the proposed project is likely to have significant impacts to biological resources. We, therefore, recommend mitigation measures to offset future impacts to biological resources and reduce biological impacts to a level below significance. The proposed project is to fezone an 84.15 acre linear set of parcels from a designation of utility corridor to various Commercial and Residential designations. The proposed project area is a north-south oriented strip approximately 330 feet wide by 10,756 feet Ions, running parallel to the Day Creek channel between Highland Avenue and Interstate 15. The area is on the alluvial fan complex formed by Day Creek and a number of other streams that flow from the San Bernardino National Forest, although the charmelization of Day Creek along the proposed project area has altered the active hydrology typical of alluvial fan formations. The biological resources on site include three patches of sage scrub totaling about 50 acres, abandoned vineyards, and ruderal habitat. The sage scrub within the proposed project area was historically Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub (AFS), a habitat type designated by the State of California as S 1.1 (most sensitive). Habitat disturbance and hydrological modifications have led to a sage scrub community that resembles the more generalized Riversidean sage scrub. However, fioristic elements of AFS, -1 J Ms. Nancy Fong such as scale broom (Zc.~idos?:rrum squ:m::h'm), remain ~ components of the sage scrub habitat in the proposed.project area. The habitat is likely suitable for both coastal California gnatcatcher (PoIioptila californica californica; gnatcatcher) and San Bernardino kangaroo Rat (Dypodomys merriami parvus; SBK.R), although neither were detected during recent surveys for this project. In 1994, SBK.R was detected near the project area, and gnatcatchers were c~_*erved within the North Etiwanda Preserve approximately one mile to the north. Contiguous suitable habitat exists between the locations of these sightings and the proposed project area. Although the proposed rezoning would not directly remove these biological resources, it is presumed that the development allowed by this rezoning would remove all of the biological resources within the project area. No mitigation is offered to offset these impacts to biological resources. 1 The City of Rancho Cucamonga, the County of San Bernardino, and 11 other local jurisdictions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate in the development of a Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan for the San Bernardino Valley (MSHCP). One of the keystones of the preserve design anticipated under the MSHCP is the North Etiwanda Preserve. a 762 acre area of diverse AFS and other sensitive habitats. This preserve is nested within a larger area of sensitive habitat, much of which must be conserved to maintain biological viability in perpetuity, and to assure the long term protection of species proposed to be covered under the MSHCP. The proposed project area is a contiguous southward extem. !on of tl?'s. key. habl .tat.ar~a. Eventual build. out of the proposed project area, and other projects w~ttt cumulauve mapacts to regional habitat values, mint be considered significant, and mitigated and implemented so as to assure the viability of the preserve system. The MOU establishes interim review guidelines for projects proceeding while the MSHCP is under development. The draft EIR recommends that early project review pursuant to the interim project review guidelines be held at the stage of development proposals. The Service, however, maintalin that this rezoning provide~ a good opportunity. to begha proactive planning for the development allowed by this change in de~i8!aafion. Appropriate mitigation for the indirect and cumulative impacts of the rezoning, that al~ addre~e~ the direct iml:~e~ by the subsequent development of the project area can be achieved by mitigation banking. Alternatively, a deed restriction could be placed on appropriate biologically semifive lands supporting AFS habitat. The Service recommends that the Edison Company establish a mitigation bank, by conserving an area configuous with the North Etiwanda Preserve, into which subsequent developments would be required to buy their fair share. At minimum, this bank should be sized and configured to allow adequate opportunity for mitigating impacts to the proposed project area. Additional bank lands could serve to provide mitigation opportunities for other projects in the region. This banking process could be structured so as to transition stainlessly into the MSHCP during the implementation phase. An appropriate mitigation bank or deed restriction should be described and commirted to in the Final EIR for the proposed project. 1 3 lib Ms. Nancy Fong The Ser~'ice looks forward to furuher discussing possible land configurations ~d details of the mitigation measures. j..f you have any questions regarding these comments. please con:act Scox Eliason of my staff at (760) 431-9440.

Inc RESPONSE TO LET'~.R A.3 United States Department of tbe Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service ~As is stated in the biological assessment and in the biological resources section of the EIIL the coastal sage scrub present on the site is probably remnant alluvial fan sage scrub. However, the coastal sage scrub is relatively poor m quality compared to this sort of habitat and alluvial scrub in the are~ Vegetative diversity of the coastal sa~e scrub is low, it is dominated almost exclusively by a single species of shrub, California buckwheat. The entire site likely was once alluvial fan sage scrub that ~ cleared or impacted in some other way, such that only buckwheat, a species tl~t readily colo.nizes disturbed sites, is nearly the sole species present. The quality of the remaining coastal sage scrub is further diminished by its ~ented distribution on the site. habitat is present m three disjunct patches occupying 4.2, 12.8, and 55.6 acres, respectively. Further, the habitat is not contiguous with other coastal sage scrub in the r~ion. Ro~lw'a~, a~icultural land uses, and developed ar~s ~eparate the site from other nr~ts of coastal sage scrub in the reipon that are located prmmrily to the north of the site. Although the coastal sage scrub on the site may be suitable habitat for the coastal California gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino kangaroo rat, neither species was detected on the site during recent focused surveys for each species, as the U.S. Fish and ~Wddllfe S4~vice noted. It was, therefore, concluded that both species are absent frotn the site. Due to the low quality of the ~nant coastal sage scrub habitat and the absence of the coastal Calfforn~ gnatcatcher and San Bernardino kanga- roo rat, and any other species listed as threatened or endangered, it was conducted that the 1o~ of coastal sage scrub from the site does not constitute a significant impact. This conclusion is based on the thresh- olds of significance listed m the EIR specifically, the project will not "substantially affe~ a rare or endangered species of plant or animal or the habitat of the species' nor will the project substantially diminish habitat for ~ wildlife, or plants. The EIR did conclude that the loss of coastal sage scrub from the site is a cumulative impact. The North Etiwanda Preserve is approximately 2 miles from the north- ernmost end of the project site. Habitat may be contiguous in the area surrounding the preserve; however, it is not contiguous with the coastal sage scrub on the proiect site. Highland Avenue, a major east-west arterial roadway forms the northerly boundary of the project site and ft-agments the site from habitat that may be contiguous with the pre- serve. Habitat fragmentation is one of the factors discussed above (re- sponse to comment 1) and in the EIR providing a basis for the conclu- sion that project impacts to coastal sage scrub are not significant. Therefore, mitigation for the loss of coastal sage scrub is not required. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOLD, signed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga, to cooperate in the development of a Multi-Species 2/6/98 (R:\CRG 730~- I:aatq~aSPTOCO .wPD ) 25 L~ A~so~a~es, inc Habitat Conser~'ation Plan (MSHCP) for the San Bernardino Valley does establish interim review guidelines for projects proceeding while the MSHCP is under development. The interim project review guidelines state that the recommendations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Setrace are -advisory; the final decision of whether to approve, modify, or deny a project remains in the hands of the lead agency (in this case, the City of Rancho Cucamonga) pursuant to existing laws. The roterim review guidelines state that each lead agency shall determine whether a p~oject shall be reviewed pursuant to the guidelines. Further, the lead aget,.3~ retains the discretion to determine that a project within the plan area, because of the project's characteristics, has no impact on the viability of biological resources and would not preclude long-term preservation planning. It is the conclusion of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that, due to the poor quality of coastal sage scrub habitat on the site, the project will not result m significant impacta to this habitat type. In addition, due to the poor quality of habitat and the distance and fragmentation of the site from the North Etiwanda Preserve and surrounding buffer lands, it is the conclusion of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that the project has no impact on the viability of biological resourc~ and will not preclude 1ongrtcrm preservation planning. Therefore, it is concluded that mitiga- tion measures including those recommended by the U.S. Fish and Wild- life Service (i.e., mitigation bank or deed restriction) are not warranted for the 1o~ of coastal ~ acx, ub f~m the site. 2/6/98 ('R: \CRG '~30WE~WA?.S PTOCO.xgrl~D) 26 1/..5 SENT BY: R CUCAMONGA C0M DEV; 1- 8-98 1:19PM; 9094772847 TRANSPORTATION/FLOOD CONTROL DEPARTMENT- SURVEYOR 825 East Thtrd S~re~l - San Rernar0mo, CA 92415~835 * (9~) 387-=8~ Janua~ 2, I~8 Nancy Fong AICP City of P, ancno Cucamonga, Planrang Dept. 10500 Civic Center Dr. Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 RE: 9097814277; ~3 '4 A-4 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR THE DRAFT PROGRAM EIR - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT - CITY OF PANCHO CUCAMONGA Dear Ms. Fong: Thank you for allowing the San Bernardino County Transportation/Flood Control Department to review the aOove referened document. Our comments are as follows: The Flood Control District's Water Resources Division has no objection to the prcposed general plan amendment, The hydrology, as submitted, is generally in accordance with the 1986 San Bernardino County Hyclroiogy Manual and the resulting Q's appear reasonable. It appears that drainage is to be outletted into Day Creek Channel downstream of Victoria Park Lane approximately 1,200 feet from the site. Prior to any activity on Flood Control District right of way. a permit must be obtained through the Flood Control District's Field Engineenng Division. -1 J It does not appear from It~e information available at this time that the 96-inch RCP stubout, located approximately 462 feet from Victoria Park Lane, is adequate to convey the calculated peak Q of 776 cfs.

At the time a development proposal is proposed, the project proponent would be conditioned to obtain a permit fi-c~ the San Bernardino County Flood Control District for any activity on me Flood Control District right-of-way. This system is shown as Line 400-A on the City~s storm dram improve- ment plans for Community Facilities Dismet 91-1. Pe~ the drainage study prepared by Associated Engiheers for this project, this system carries 756 cffs from Day Creek Boulevat~ to an inlet approximately 180 feet east of Day Creek Channel, where the di$char~ increases to 776 cis, continues for another 523 feet, and inleta into the channel. Moat of this system is comprised of a 108-inch RCP, which tranaition$ to an existing 96-inch diameter RCP stub-out befor~ entering the channel. Detailed analysis using WSPGN hydraulie~ software reveals that the existing 96-inch RCP causes an unacceptable increase in the hydraulic grade line in the upstream (108-inch) reach. Hydrology data is pro- vided in Appendix I of the Final FIR. It is recommended that this exiat- ing pipe be t~noved and that 108.inch RC, P be uaed from Day Creek Boulevard to Day Creek Clmnn~ with the pipe entea. mg the channel 1 foot above the channel in~an. This would yield a pipe gradleto of 2.66 percent as oppo~ to the 2.00 percent ~awn on the propo~d plato, resulting in an acceptable hydraulic grade line.

They have voluntarily entered into this Memorandum for the following purposes: 1.1 To define their roles and responsibilities in the development and implementation of a San Bernardino Valley Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), 1.2 To develop a MSHCP that is consistent with the ESA, the CESA and the Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) program, and ensures conservation and protection of currently listed, proposed and candidate species and species of concern and their habitats within the designated plan area. The boundaries of the plan are described in Attachment A. The species proposed to be covered by the plan are enumerated in Attachment B. 1.3 To provide definition and certainty to the planning process prior to substantial investment of time and funding, and 1.4 To demonstrate a commitment to this process as the forum for a comprehensive approach to resolving land use and endangered species conflicts. 2.0 PURPOSFS OF THI::: PI AN It is agreed that the plan will be a coordinated multi-agency, multi-species conservation plan focusing on certain covered species within the plan boundaries. The purposes of the plan are: MSHCP MOU - Reviseci 8-4-95 2.1 Protection of Covered Species. To conserve and protect covered s12ecJes and the ecosystems on which they depend in perpetuity within southwestern San Bernardino County pursuant to the ESA and CESA. and not preclude recovery of listed species. 2.2 Provide E~uity in Rec~ulation. To provide a comcrehensive means to coordinate and standardize mitigation and com2ensation requirements so that puDlic and private actio.,ns will be regulated equaJl~ and consi expenses, and regulatory du,,lic.,,; ........ stently, reducing delays uncertainty in dewJ,,..,-"~'---- ~. o,u.... ~[ ~s intended that the nlan ,.,-'.

To prescribe mitigation measures for private development and agency actions to lessen or avoid cumulative impacts to the covered species and eliminate, whenever possible, case-by-case review of impacts of projects when consistent with the mitigation and compensation requirements prescribed by the plan. 2.4 Incidental T~,ke Permit. To obtain the necessary permits or take authorizations from the Service and the Department to authorize the incidental take of listed species covered in the plan in connection with otherwise lawful activities within the area subject to the plan as provided by Section 10(a) of the ESA and Section 2081 of the CESA. 2.5 Conservation (Pre-listina) Agr,~rn~.nts. The MSHCP is intended to provide for the long term preservation of-covered species not currently listed as threatened or endangered pursuant to the ESA or CESA such that should they become listed, the Department and the Service shall, bardng "unforeseen or extraordinary" conditions, authorize incidental take for the species. To accomplish this, all non-listed species being considered under this plan will be treated as if they are already listed. 'Unforeseen or extraordinary- conditions shall be defined in the 'MSHCP and its Implementation Agreement, but such conditions, for the purposes of this MOU, are generally understood to be: (1) e, nvironmentai, demographic and/or genetic stochastic circumstances that were not and could not be anticipated during the preparation of the Plan, or (2) information developed dudrig MSHCP implementation monitoring that identifies consequences of MSHCP implementation procedures that may jeopardize the continued existence of the species. 2.6 Provide Oversight. Control Measures and Standards of Success. To establish a means in which the MSHCP will provide appropriate and successful methods of: (1) reporting; (2) accounting audits; (3) funding (short and long term); (4) periodic and independent biological evaluation; and (5) opportunities for adequate public Participation. MSHCP MOU - Revised 8-.4-95 3.0 HARITAT CONSt:RVATION Pl AN COMPONFNT~ 3.1 The Plan. The principal component of this effort is the preparation of a MSHCP. The plan will adopt and adhere to the best avaiIa~le information on or methods of conservation biology and identify listed and unlisted species to be covered in the plan. It will seek to minimize the threats that would lead to listing of presently unlisted species covered in the plan and identify a reserve system, financing and management v~ich are sufficient to conserve the covered species. The plan will include the developmer4t and analysis of appropriate biological data, an alternatives analysis that includes, but is not limited to, an alternative that would not res,_" in "take" of listed species and the reasons why not selected, the delineation of sensitive habitat areas supporting the covered species addressed in the plan, and the identification of a habitat preserve system that will support the continued existence of all species proposed to be covered in the plan. 3.2 Section 10(a) Permit and 7081 Take Authori:,~tion Applications. Applications for permits under Section 10(a) of the ESA and Section 2081 bf the CESA will be submitted to the Service and the Department when the dr. Af~, .~..i '-~p-~ssued. The plan will function as the MSHCP for the purpose of making tt~.~./~_~l~' applications. Plan implementation will be described in an accompanying Imp'lemer[l'tation Agreement. It is intended that the review and approval of the MSHCP by the Participating Agencies will satisfy the requirements of applicable Federal and State environmental law. It is the intent of the parties to eliminate project-by-project review of the effect of development activities on the Covered Species, to the full extent authorized by law, and to ensure that mitigation/compensation measures are not imposed beyond those detailed in the MSHCP for such development activities provided conditions under which the MSHCP was formulated have not significantly changed. Such a plan will satisfy the Federal and State agencies with respect to the protection of the Covered Species by, among other possible mechanisms, providing uniform and biologically viable mitigation/compensation measures for application to development activities. Such mitigation measures will be developed subject to the approval of Federal and State agencies. Individual landowners, groups of landowners, or development interests may choose to comply with the terms and conditions of the MSHCP affecting their proposed activities. Alternately, they may choose to prepare and submit their own conservation plan and Section 10(a) permit application when their activities may result in incidental take of federally listed species and, if State or local agency approval is required, they may choose to submit their proposal outside the existing conservation plan umbrella. 3.3 Implementation Agreement. The conservation plan shall be implemented through an enforceable agreement. The Agreement shall specify the operating parameters of the conservation plan for the San Bernardino Valley. The Agreement specifies the obligations, authorities, responsibilities, liabilities, benefits, rights, and privileges of all parties or signatories to the subject conservation plan to be prepared and submitted with the Section 10(a) permit and 2081 authorization applications. The Agreement shall also provide for expeditious issuance of Section 10(a) permits and 2081 authorizations for Covered Species not currently listed pursuant to the ESA or MSHCP MOU - Revised 8-4-95 CESA by incorporating "Pro-listing" commitments into the Agreement. It is intended that the Agreement will be entered into by all Participating Agencies approving the conservation plan, and any private party having an obligation or role in implementing the conservation plan. The Agreement will provide specific mitigation commitments for private parties and Public Agencies conducting otherwise lawful activities. and assurances by the Participating Agencies to ,orevent the imposition of inconsistent or overlapping mitigation/compensation requiremenus under any Federal, State, or local law. - 3.4 CFt3A AN~ NI:PA Compliance. Concurrent with preparation and rele,. ;~. of the draft and'final plans, a joint environmental review document will be prepared and released which will satisfy Federal and State requirements. 3.5 Decision. The acceptance of the plan, the CEQA and NEPA environmental documents and the Section 10(a) permit applications and the signing of an Implementation Agreement by the Service will result in the issuance of Section 10(a) permits, pursuant to Section 10(a) of the ESA, to the local agencies that are participants in the planning effort for the public and private lands involved. The acceptance of the plan and the CEQA environmental documentation and the signing of an Implementation Agreement by the Department will result in the issuance of 2081 take authorizations for the covered species that are adequately protected by the plan pursuant to the CESA to local agencies that are participants in the plan for the public and private lands involved. Other appropriate decision documents will be issued by the Participating Agencies. 3.6 Im91ement~fion. Following or concurrent with the issuance of the biological opinion, adoption of the plan, and receipt of the 10(a) permits and 2081 take authorizations, the signatories .will revise their land use plans and policies to conform with the plan and the 10(a) permits and 2081 take authorizations or withdraw from the program. Take authorizations may not be in effect until land use plans are amended. Should any participant withdraw from the program, it may adversely affect the plan area and covered species list and therefore may require appropriate modifications of the plan. The signatories will also ensure that future plans, policies, and actions will be in conformance with the plan and the Section 10(a) permits and 2081 take authorizationS. Should the need adse to amend the plan in accordance with established procedures due to new information or the development of more effective management prescriptions or techniques, such amendment will occur through a cooperative effort involving the agencies and the public in the southwestern San Bernardino County that are subject to 10(a) permits and 2081 take authorizations or biological opinions that may have already I~een issued. 3.7 Conserwtion Strategy.

The Intodin Project Review Guidelines (IPRG) have two related purposes: (1) to ensure early review and consideration of proposed projects by the Service and the Department so that projects which could preclude the successful development of the MSHCP will be identified at the earliest possible point in the development review process, and (2) to provide a opportunity for dialogue between the lead agency, the project applicant and the regulatory agencies to explore alternatives or mitigation measures which could minimize and mitigate potential project impacts. Local Agencies have identified that significant problems have adsen in the past when comments on proposed projects are not received from the Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service until very late in the lead agency's decision- making process. To address this problem with respect to projects which may have the potential to preclude long-term conservation strategies addressed in the MSHCP or ~:oP,,,a_m.,~_e,_via_b_ii;,i[Y._of ?01ogical..r~sources, the Service and the Department are ,,,,,,,-~-~ ~ m~-~ w~n me appropriate pmi~ ~ro~onent at "-- ---~--, -----',- .... · . . . . :?-~ .~. ~. u,~ ~ ,~ iaa~lgle pOII1L Earty ~dentification of potential impacts will assist ~n the preparation of environmental documents for the project and provide the opportunity to identify potential project alternatives and mitigation measures for consideration in compliance with Public Resources § 21080.3(a). The IPRG specifically does not create an additional layer of project review nor to confer any additional authority on the Department, the .,Service or lead agency. The recommendations of the Service am:l Department are advisory;, the final decision of whether to approve, modify, or deny a project remains in the hands of the lead agency pursuant to existing laws. A. Guidelines for Projects to Be Included in the Review Process Each lead agency and/or project proponent shall determine whether a project should be reviewed pursuant to the IPRG. Generally, the lead agency or project proponent may consider that a project as defined by CEQA § 21065, except those projects statutory or categorically exempt from CEQA,, located within the sensitive habitat areas of the MSHCP boundaries, has the potential to preclude long term preservation planning or impact the viability of biological resources, and it is appropriate to utilize the IPRG. The lead agency retains the discretion to determine that a project within the plan area, because of the project's characteristics, has no impact on the viability of biological resources and would not preclude long term preservation planning.

EIR for GPA 96-03B & 97-01 and VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES UNDER CONSIDERATION EXHIBIT "G" L..~AA.tsoc~ate$, Inc 6.0 ALTERNATIVES The Califorma Envu-onmental Qualip' Act (CEQA) requires that an Environmen- tal Impact Report (EIR) include a discussion of reasonable proiect altemat:ves that a.~ "capable of avoiding or substantially lessening any significant effects on the project, even if these alternatives would impede to some degree the atta/n- ment of the project objectives, or would be more costly" (CEQA Section 15126(d)(1)). The analysis provided in Chapter 4.0 determined that short ,erm pollutant ermssions during construction and long-term local a/r quality impacts would be significant. All other impacts are considered less than significant or reduced to below the level of significance with mitigation. If the environmen- tally superior alternative is determined to be the No Project Alternative, the EIR must also identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives, if the analysis indicates that significant impacts can be avoided by one or more alternatives. Following is a discussion on alteznatives to the pro- posed project. 6.1 ALF~RNA~IIr~$ UNDER CONSlDF. RATION The following development scenarios have been identified as potential alterna- tives to implementation of the proposed project. Under the No Project/No Development Alternative, the project site would remain in its existing vamnt conditio~ The site could contain electric transmis- sion towers in the future under the current zoning; however, for the purpose of the "No Development Alternatives" anal~is, the no development scenario is . Opon Spa~ Park ~lt and Trails System Th/s alternative is a rational choice as a land use altemat/ve for a long slender 84.15-acre parcel (330 feet wide by 10,756 feet long). This strip of land would contain a landscaped pat/tway along the length of future Day Creek Boulevard to enhance views of Mt. Baldy to the north and would also contmn a trails system that would connect the ex/sting and future planned residential areas in the Victoria Windrows area to the east and west of future Day Creek Boulevard (south of Highland Avenue and north of Base Line Road) to the proposed regional commercial area south of Base Line Road and north of Interstate 15 0-15). Under the Lower Density Alternative, a General Plan and Vietom Communtity Plan amendment would be proposed that would be the same as proposed with the project between Highlmad Avenue and Base Line Road. However, the 2/B,~)8/R:\CRG?30WI/II~xSECT.6.FNL) 6-1 densities would be limited to the lower range within each land use categoD' (i.e., Low Density. [2 units;acre], Low. Medium Density. [4 units/acre], and Me- dium Densit3,' [8 urals;acre]). in the area south of Base Line Road. the land uses proposed would include 10.~ acres of Low-Medium DensiR' (4 units.,'acre) from Base line Road south to one-half the distance between Base Line Road and Church Street and Medium Density (8 units/acre) on 10.4 acres from one-half the distance between Base Line Road Church Street south to Church Street. The 27.7 acres south of Church Street would remain Regional Relate'~ Of- rice/Commercial as proposed with the project. The intent of this alternative is to potentially reduce the proposed project's impacts on public services, specifi- cally schools. . O.l~'.$~t~ al~~ Section 15126(d) of the CEQA GuideLines requires that an ~IR consider only those feasible alternatives that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant impacts identified for the project alternative. The General Plan Land Use Element of the City of Rancho Cucamonga allows for the development of residential uses m a number of areas primarily within the northerly portion of the City, m areas designated for a wide range of resi- dential densities similar to the proposed General Plan Amendments. Southern California Edison (SCE) owns utility corndot easements to the north and south of the proposed project area that are actually an extension of the same utility easement as the proposed project. Potentially, the area that con- tams the utility easement north of Highland Avenue could be processed for a proposed General Plan Amendment to allow a variety of residential densities similar to the proposed project. 6.2 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The following discussion compares the impacts of ~ alternative with the impacts of the proposed project, as detailed m Chapter 5.0 of this EIR. A con- clusion is provided for ~ impact as to whether the alternative results in one of the followins: 1) reduction or elimination of the impact; 2) a gr~tter impact than the project; 3) the same impact as the proiect; or 4) a new impact in addition to the proposed proiect impacts. Table 6.2-1 compares the impacts of the alternatives with those of the proposed project. Alter-native 1 - No Proje~/No Development A~tive With the No Project/No Development Alternative, the site would remain in its existing vacant condition. Most of the potential impacts associated with the proposed project would be avoided, especially the proposed project's impact on air quality which remained significant after mitigation. 2~SD8(R :\CRG '~30~FElR'$ECT-6.FNL) 6-2 Table 6.2-1 - S-mmary of the Comparison of the Project Alternatives to the Proposed Project Environmental Lower Analysis ~'oposed No Project Open Space Density Off-Site Subject Project Alternative Alternative Alternative Alternative Notes: []" Gr~tt~ ~ = As compared to the propreed project tbe impact is the same. Without further development of the project site, drainage improvements to convey increased ranoff from introduced impervious surfaces would not be required. However, ,,ei*zin$ sheet flow conditions would continue on site. Drainage iml:~,.,.L,~.,~lts a.~!oeiatl~! ~ the pro~ project would ameliorate existing on-site drainage and sheet flow conditiom. Erosion of exposed soils during the construction phase would be eliminated with this alternative. However, this alternative would not reduce the erosion of currently exposed soils, and existing sedimentation levels would continue into Day Creek Channel. The existing level of sedimentation is greater than would occur with the proposed project. Compared to the proposed project as mitigated, this alternative would have reduced impacts on drainage, with the exception of slight erosion of currently exposed soils and sedimentation. Tra2~c The No Project/No Development Alternative would not generate any additional traffic on the arterial circulation network. With or without implementation of the proposed project, seven intersections are forecast to exceed the County 2/~/98 ('R: \CRG'~ 30~FEIR~ ECT-6 FNL) 6-3 Management Plan (CMP) Level of Service (LOS) E standard under 2015 traffic conditions v,,ith or without the project; thus, this alternative would not serve to reduce existing or projected congestion. Compared to the project, this alter- native would not result ~n any increased traffic or the need for roadv,~v prove~ents. A~r ~ual~ty This alternative would eliminate short-term air quality impacts from fugitive dust and construction equipment emissions generated by the project during construction. Operational emissions of the proposed project would result in a total of 851 lbs./day of CO, 64 lbs./clay of ROC, 136 lbs./day of NOx, 15 lbs./day of SOx, and 19 lbs./day of PM~0. Among them, the emissions for'CO, ROC, and NOx would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by at large margin (especially NOx). Even gfter implementa- tion of the mitigation measures identified, it is not guaranteed that the erms- sions would be reduced to below the thresholds with the proposed project. When compared to the proposed project's significant long-term air quality impacts, this alternative would eliminate vehicle and stationary source emis- sions resulting from project related traffic and energy consumption. The project as proposed would not contribute significantly to inezased noise levels at off-site receiver locations, either during construction or in the long term. ~ Alte~ would eliminate any potemial project related increases in noise levels attributed to project traffic and construction activities. All road- way segments analyzed for the proposed project would have the 60 dBA Ldn extending more than 50 ~ from the roadway centerline. Therefore, all noise- sensitive uses, ~ri,tmg or proposed, located within the impact zone would be exposed to noise level exceeding 60 dBA Ldn. This is a potentially significant noise impact, even though the proposed project's conu'ibution would be small and mostly negligible and would _~ri~ with or without the proposed project. Public Services And Utilit~s Without new development on the project site, increased demand for public services, such as police and fire suppression services, schools facilities, and parks would not occur. The proposed project does not identify significant impacts to paxks, police, and fire services before implementation of the identi- fied mitigation. This alternative would eliminate any potential effects and the need for mitigation. Future development would generate more students for the already impacted school districts and is considered significant. School mitigation plans would be enacted between the Etiwanda School Dis- trict/ChatfeyJomt Umon High School Dismet and the project developer provid- ing for a per dwelling umt fee rate for the residential portion of the project site. Implementation of this mitigation would reduce impacts on schools to a less- than-significant level with the proposed project. 2/BD8 (R:\CRG730~FEIE~SECT-6 FNL) 6-4 ~ A~soctates. Inc, With the proposed project, future development proposals for the area must provide 3.4 acres of active recreation w~thin the Windrows planning area and 5.9 acres of active recreation within the Victoria Lakes planning area. for a total of 9.3 acres of park space. This alternative would eliminate the need for addi- tiona.lyaxk apace ba~¢d on population increase. Biological Resources Biological resources studies conducted for the proposed project concluded that no significant biological resources occur on site including the San Bernardino Merriam's kangaroo rat and the California gnatcatcher, both protected species. It was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant im- pact on biological resources and no mitigation would be recluired. This alter- native would have the same impact on biological resources as the proposed project. Cultural R~ource$ This alternative would eliminate any potential impacts to unknown subsurface historic artifacts or cultural resources: Although with mitigation the proposed project would not result m any significant unavoidable adverse impacts to cultural resources, this alternazive would eliminate the need for mitigation. This alternative would areaid the visual alteration of the physical appearance of the site due to project construction However, this alternative would also elimi- naxe the ~__~,_thetic public benefits provided by the project including: 1) provi. sion of infill d~t that would complmmmt the ,.qri~ing residential neig, hborhoods to the east; and 2) developmeant of a planned community that establishes a landscape p~ and mech=nt~m for 1on~.v~txn maintenance of landscape ..... ~ while ~n~h~ne~g the public vizn~ of the S~n Gabriel Moun- tains to the north. The No Project/No Development Alternative would reduce and/or eliminate all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project. In particular, significant adverse impLetS related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin (especially NOx), would not occur with this alternative. However, this alternative would result in impacts by eFanmating opportunities to provide hou$itlg and meet the goals of the City's General Plan Housing Element. This alternative would fail to meet three important objectives of the project and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The first objective is to preserve the single family character of residential neighborhoods within the City and provide a variety of housing types for various income levels; the second objective is to protect the neighborhood quality and residential nature of the neighborhood 2/8~)8(R: \CRG730~ ~.m~SECr~.F?¢L) 6-5 to the east; the third objective is to provide infill residential and commercial development within the context of a planned community. Alternative 2 - 0~ Space Greenbelt and TraiLs System Alternative With the Open Space Greenbelt and Trails System Alternative, the site would be developed as a greenbelt and contain a trails .system. Most of the potential impacts associated with the proposed project would be avoided, especiah~ -he proposed projeet's impact on air quality which remained significant after miti- gation. This alternative is determined to be the Environmentally Superior Alternative after the No project/No Development Alternative. Drainago Construction of impervious surfaces with this alternative would create similar water runoff impacts to those identified for the proposed project. Appropriate drainage facilities would be required as part of site design, as has been com- pleted for the proposed project, demonstrating adequacy of the existing and proposed facilities to accommodate projected discharge. Since drainage associ- ated with the proposed project can be accommodated by the earlsting and proposed facilities, it is expected that runoff associated with Alternative 2 can also be accommodated. Potential drainage impacts are considered less than significant for either the proposed project or this alternative after mitigation. Alternative 2 would result in a fewer number of daily and peak hour vehicle trips than the proposed project. The amount of traffic generated by this alter- native would be contingent on the user that the site would attract. For m- stance, would the~ be on-~ite parlgn$ provided for the tr~ls use? If not, this alternative would generate few d~i!y vehicle trips. With or without implementa- tion of the proposed project, seven intersections are forecast to exceed the CMP LOS E standard under 2015 traffic conditions with or without the project, therefore, this alternative would not serve to reduce projected congestion. Compared to the proposed project, this alternative would result in. a reduced number of traffic impacts. This alternative would create similar significant short-term air quality impacts from fugitive dust and construction equipment emissions generated by the project during construction, because grading and construction activities would occur under both Alternative 2 and the proposed project. Operational emissions of the proposed project would result in a total of 851 lbs./day of CO, 64 lb~./day of ROC, 136 !ba./day of NOx, 15 lba./day of SOx, and 19 lbs./day of PMt0. Among them, the emissions for CO, ROC, and NOx would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management Dismet thresholds for daily operations by a large margin (especially NOx). Even after implementation of the mitigation measures identified, it is not guaranteed that the emissions 6-6 2/BD8 (R :,,CRG-r 3 0~. glIi~SECT.6 .FNI.) L.fA Assoctates. Inc would be reduced to below the thresholds. Therefore, it would remain a significant impact with the proposed project. ~X'hen compared to the proposed project's significant long-term air quailD' impac~s~ this alternative would eliminate vehicle and stationarT source emis- sions resulting from project related tra~c and energy consumption. Noise The project as proposed would not contribute significantly to increased noise levels at off. site receiver locations, either during construction or in the long term. This Alternative would eliminate any potential project related increases in noise levels attributed to project traffic. All roadway segments analyzed for the proposed project would have the 60 dBA Ldn extending more than 50 feet from the roadway centerline. Therefore, all noise.sensitiv~ uses, existing or proposed, located within the impact zone would be exposed to noise level exceeding 60 dBA Ldn. This is a potentially significant noise impact, even though the project's contribution would be small and mostly negligible and would exist with or without the proposed project. Public Services And Utilities Without development on the project site that generates a population increase, increased demand for public services, such as police and fire supp _res__sion services, schools facilities, and parks would not occur. Tim propole :~ project does not identify significant impacts to patits, police, and fire services before implementation of the identified mitigation, this altea-native would elirain=re any potential effects and the need for mitigation. Future development would generate more students for the alreazdy impacted school districts and is consid- ered significant. School mitigation plans would be en~ct_~ b~L~CCn the Etiwanda School District/Chaffey Joint Union High School District and the project developer providing for a per dwelling unit fee rate for the residential portion of the project site. Implementation of rhi.~ mitigation would reduce impacts on schools to a less-than-significant level with the proposed project. With the proposed project, future development proposals for the area must provide 3.4 acres of active recreation within the Windrows planning area and 5.9 acres of activ~ recreation within the Victoria Lakes planning area, for a total of 9.3 acres of park space. This alternative would eliminate the need for addi- tional park space based on population increase and would have a beneficial impact by providing 84.15 acres of open space and a trail system in the Victoria Community Plan area. The proposed project would also be required to provide a multi-use trail sys- tem the length of "future" Day Creek Boulevard to reduce the project's impacts on the City's trail system and to mitigate any view shed impacts. This Alterna- tive would provide a trail system eliminating the need to mitigate the proposed project's impacts on the viewshed and trail system. 2/~/98(R:\CRG730q' I:AII~SEC-'T-~ FN'L) 6-7 Biological Resources Biological resources studies conducted for the proposed project concluded that no s~gnfficam biological resources occur on site including the San Bernardino Merriam's kangaroo rat and the Ca. hfomia gnatcatcher. both protected species. It was ~letermmed that the proposed project would not have a significant im- pact on biological resources and no mitigation would be required. This alter- native would have the same impact on biological resources as the prot~osed project. Cultural Resources This alternative would have identical grading impacts and possible effects on unknown culruraJ resources. There is the same potential for encountering subsurface historic artifacts during construction activities. However, with mitigation identified, neither the proposed project nor this alternative would result m any significant impacts to cultural resources. Aesthetics This alternative would result m a visual and aesthetic alteration of the physical appearance and character of the project site as viex~red from travelers along future Day Creek Boulevard. This alternative would preserve views of the San Gabriel Mountains by providing an open ~ linear corndot of pleasing aesthetic value and is compatible with the ~ and policies of the Victoria Community Plan. Conc2usUm Alternative 2 would have less significant adverse environmental impacts than that of the proposed project discussed in Section 5.0. In particular, si!~fificant unavoidable adverse impacts to local air quality would be reduced under this alternative. All other impacts of the proposed project would also be reduced under this alternative including impacts on public ~'vices, traffic, potential exposure of residences to noise related impam, and aesthetics. With the Lower Density Alternative, the site would be developed with residen- tial land uses at a lower density than with the proposed proiect. The commer- cial land use designations would remain the same as proposed with the project. Most of the potential impacts associated with the proposed proiect would be avoided, especially the proposed project's impact on air quality which re- roamed significant after miUgation. Drainage Construction of impervious surfaces with this alternative would create similar water runoff impacts to those identified for the proposed proiect. Appropriate 6-8 ~ Assocuates. !no drainage facilities would be requtred as pan of site design, as has been com- pleted for the proposed project, demonstrating adequacy, of the existing and proposed faciliues to accommodate projected discharge. Since drainage associ- ated with the proposed proiect can be accommodated bv the existing and propo~d facilities, it is expected that runoff associated with Alternative 3 can also be accommodated. Potential chainage impacts are considered the same as with the proposed project. Tra. O~c Alternative 3 would result m a fewer number of daily and peak hour vehicle trips than the proposed project. The amount of tra~c generated by this alter- native would be contingent on the number of vehicle trips generated with the lower residential densities on site. Compa-,~d to the proposed project, this alternative would result in a reduced number of trottic imp~'ts and would lmve a lesser impact on areawide circulation. This alternative would create similar significant short-term air quality impacts from fugitive dust and construction equipment emissions generated by the project during construction, because grading and construction activities would occur under both Altemativ~ 3 and the pfopos~ :~ project.

The project as proposed would not contribute significantly to increased noise levels at off-site receiver locations, either during construction or in the long- term. This Alternative would eliminate any potential project related increases in noise levels attributed to project traffic by reducing the number of vehicle trips generated. All roaoN~ay segments analyzed for the proposed project would have the 60 dBA Ldn extending more than 50 feet from the roadway centerline. Therefore, all noise-sensitive uses, ernstrag or proposed, located within the impact zone would be exposed to noise level exceeding 60 dBA Ldn, with or without the project. This is a potentially significant noise impact, even though the proposed project's contribution would be small and mostly negligi- ble and would exist with or without the proposed project. Therefore, the incremental noise increase generated by tra~c would be redfaced slightly. 2/BD8 (R:\CRG730WEIR~ECT-6. FNL) 6-9 LSA Associates. Inc Public Services And Utilities With new development on the pro~ect site, increased demand for public ser- vices, such as police and fire suppression services, schools facfliues, and paxks would occur. The proposed project does not identify, significant impacts to fire services before implementation of the identified mitigation, however, this alternative would lessen any potential effects because of a reduction in popula- tion from 2,273 with the proposed project to 659 with a lower density alterna- tive. Table 6.2-2 provides the number of students that would be generated with Alternative 3. Alternative 3 would generate a total of 178 students m the Etiwanda School District (elementary) and 56 students m the Chaffey School District. The proposed project would generate a total of 625 student (474 elementary students and 151 secondary students). The proposed project would generate a total of 391 more students than the lower density alternative for the already impacted school districts and is considered significant. School mitigation plans would be enacted between the Etiwanda School Dis- tri~C_.hafft'y Joint Union High School Distact and the project developer provid- ing for a per dwelling unit fee raze for the residential portion of the project site. Implementation of this mitigation would reduce impacts on schools to a less- than-significant level with the proposed project and Alternative 3.

Table 6.2-3 provides the number of acres of park land ~at would be required by the lower density, aJternatrve. With this alterna- tive, the area between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road would require 1.4 acres of park land, and between Base IAne Road and 1-15 would requ/re 1.9 acres of park land. However, as shown in Table 6.2-4 there is a su.r~lus of 1 acre of park land in the Windrows area arid 1 acre in the Vietom Lakes ai es. Therefore, Alternative 3 would require 0.4 acre in the Windrows area and 0.9 acre in the Vietom l~kes area, This alternative would eliminate the need for additional 9.3 acres of park space based on population ruerease of the proposed project.

According to the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, Alternative 3 would require one-half additional officer, plus sup- port personnel, equipment. and facilities. This number was obtmned bv using the Cif~'s officer generation rate of 0.741/1,000 residents. Using an esumated 3.01 persons per household, 659 residents would be generated by the 283 residential units for this alternative. One-half officer would be needed for the residential portion of the project and one additional officer to respond to calls for the 300,000 square feet of co_mmercial use that is proposed. This alter~m- rive would generate the need for four and one-half leas police officers than the proposed project. In addition, site development would require adequate access into the site for all emergency vehicles. The additional number of homes and commercial areas would provide on-site targets for criminal activity. The proposed project and Alternative 3 would contribute to an meremental ruerease m demand on police service as the proposed project. Btolo~wal R~sources Biological resources studies conducted for the proposed project concluded that no significant biological resources occur on site including the San Bernardino Merriam's kangaroo rat and the California gnatcatcher, both protected species. It was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant im- pact on biological resources and no mitigation would be required. This alter- native would have the same impact on biological resources as the proposed project. Cultural Resourc~ This alternative would have identical grading impacta and possible effects on unknown cultural reaourc~. There is the aame potential for encountering subsurface historic artifa~ during construction actinnMea. However, with mitigation identified, neither the proposed project nor this alternative would result in any significant impacts to cultural resources. Impacts would be the same as with the proposed project At t~ ~tic~ This alternative would result in a visual and aesthetic alteration of the physical appe~ance and c. ha~c~er of the proiect site as viewed by travelers along future Dzy Creek Boulevard. Development with Alternative 3 would be similar to that of the proposed project with lesser intensity because of the reduced residential densities. Impacts on aestheUcs and the view corridor of the San Gabriel Mountains would be the same with this Alternative as with the proposed pro- ject. The proposed project's impacts on air quality, traffic, fire, police, schools, and parks would be reduced with implementation of Alternative 3. There would be 2/~D8 ('R :\CRG730WEIR'.S ECT-6 · FNL ) 6-12 ~ Assooates. Inc a slight reduction in vehicular traffic noise impacts with this alternative. The proposed proiect's mapacts on chainage, biological resources, cultural re- sources, and aesthetics would remaxn the same with Alternative 3. Alternative 4 - Off-Site A~tive Analysis of the availability of adequate alternative parcels for implementation of the proposed project u~ili~ed information provided in the City's Genera, ."'an and the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. The focus of this investigation was to determine whether appropriately sized parcels are available within the City to accommodate the proposed project while meeting the project objectives, primarily those associated with provision of infill residential development within a context of a planned commumty and preservation of the single family character of residential neighborhoods within the City. SCE owns utility comdor easements to the north and south of the proposed project area that are actually an extension of the same utility easement as the proposed project. Potentially, the area that contains the utility e~sement north of Highland Avenue could be processed for a proposed General Plan Amen- dment from Utility Corridor to Residential to allow a variety of residential densities similar to the proposed project. However, it may not be appropriate to propose a General Plan Amendment to allow the higher intensity land use of the regional related of~ce/commel'ci~ designation of the proposed project in this ~ but the residential land uses may be appropris~. The residential land uses at a lower intmmity may be more appropriate in this srea to be compatible with evi~ing residential densities in the are~ which are low density (2-4 du/ac.). Overall, the proposed proiect's impacts on drainage, u-at~, noise, public ser- vices (fu-e, police, schools, and p~rks), biological resources, and cultural re- sources would remain the same with this alternmive site. The significant un- avoidable impacts on ~ir quality would also be the same as with the proposed project since the ~ir quality imp~c-ts of the proposed pro~-~'t are a result of operational vehicle emissions which would not be reduced with this alternative. Biological resources studies conducted for the prolx~ed project concluded that no significant biological resources occur on site including the San Bernardino Merriam's k~ngaroo rat and the California gnatcatcher, both protected species. It was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant im- pact on biological resources and no mitigation would be required. This alter- native would require biological resource survc-ys be conducted to determine whether the San Bernardino Merriam's kangaroo rat and/or the California gnatcatcher occur on site. This alternative does contain habitat that could support both species. If the species are not present on site, this alternative would have the same impact on biological resources as the proposed proiccP. Impacts on aesthetics may potentially be the same with this alternative site. The alternative site is not within the Victoria Commumty Plan but is in the Etivranda North Specific Plan that is similar to the Victoria Community Plan and also has design guidelines which protect and enhance aesthetics and view corridors. 2/B,,98 OR: \CRG 750~ ~XSECT-6.FNL) 6-13 l..~t A~$oc, ntes, Inc 6.3 In conclusion, an alternative site within an Edison utility, comdor would have the same impacts as the proposed project and would not reduce the proposed projects' significant unavoidable long.term impact on atr qualit3,'. ENVIRONM~ALLY SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE The No Project~o Development Alternative is an Environmentally Superior alternative since no development would occur on the project site. Unlik~ -he proposed project or the project alternatives, the No Project/No Development Alternative would not increase demand for public services, increase tra~c volumes, circulation, air emissions and noise levels (associated with construc- tion and operation of additional land uses), cause the additional need for recreational facilities, or increase potential impsets to biological or cultural resources, drainage, and aesthetics that may otherwise result from development of the project site. Signitieant short-term construction e~. ions would be eliminated, and significant unavoidable long-term CO, ROC, and NOx emis- sions would be reduced with the No ProjectdNo Development Alternative. As required by C£QA (Section 15126(d)(4), fithe No Project/No Development Alternative is selected as the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR shall also identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alterna- tives. Among the alternatives considered, the open space/trails system alterna- tive has the least damaging environmental impacts. Of the viable alternatives, the open space/trails system alternative would result m fewer daily and peak hour vehicle raps and conruminant emissions, and incremental increases in ambient noise levels, and impacts on schools and parira. Potential Ions-term local air quality impacts are considered significant unavoidable adverse impacts under either the propo~.'<i project or Alternatives 3 or 4. Alternative 2, how- ever, would result m reduced impacts to long-term air quality and is environ- mentally superior to all other alternatives. There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of Alternative 2. If the site is to be converted to a open space/trails system, the City would have to 1) purchase the property, 2) construct the trail system, and 3) provide long-term maintenance of a trail system on the 84.15-acre site. The cost to purchase the property, and construct and maintain the tr~il. may cause an additional financial burden on the City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 218, additional use taxes would have to go to City wide vote. Long-term funding for a City trail system on this site is not certain. 2/B/98CR :\ClZG?30q- ~mXSECT-6 .FNL) 6-14 EIR for GPA 96-03B & 97-01 and VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM EXHIBIT "H" LSA Associates, Inc. APPENDIX K- MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN This mmgation morntoting plan has been prepared for use in implementing mitiga~tion measures identified in the Environmental Impact Report for General Plan 'Amendments 96-03B and 97-01 and Victoria Community Plan Amendments 96-01 and 97-01/Edison Company project. This program has been prepared in compliance with the State law to ensure compliance with mitigation measures adopted for the project by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Assembly Bill 3180 (Public Resources Code, Paragraph 201081.6), effective January 1, 1989, requires adoption of a reporting or monitoring program for those conditions of approval placed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. The monitoring program contains the following elements: Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. In some instances, one action, such as plan review, may be used to verify implementation of several conditions of approval. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. The program has been designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based on recommendations by those responsible for the program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program. 278/98(R:',CRG 730~FEIR',.MITMO N FN~) K-1 /'~7 MITIGATION MONITORING MATRIX FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS 96-03B AND 97-01 AND VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENTS 96-01 AND 97-01/EDISON COMPANY Mitigation Measures DRAINAGE 4.1.1A.

For a more detailed description of each impact, each mitigation measure to be imposed, and the facts and data which support the conclusions reached herein regarding the significance of each impact after mitigation, please refer to the applicable sections of the FEIR and the technical appendices. The City Council hereby adopts and incorporates the data and analysis set forth therein as a part of this Resolution as though set forth here in full. L Description of Project Objectives The proposed project is an amendment to the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and Victoria Community Plan. The area of the proposed amend- ments are designated as Utility Corridor. Southern California Edison, who owns the property, is the applicant and proposes to change the Utility Corridor designation to Regional-Related Comm~/~[ and Regional Center, and High Residential, Medium High Residential, Medium Residential, Low-Medium Residential, and Low Residential There is no development proposed for the site at th/s t/me. Project O~ec~ves To preserve the single family character of residential neighborhoods within the City and provide a variety of housing types for various income levels. To protect the neighborhood quality and residential nature of the neighborhood to the east. To provide infill residential and commercial development within the context of a planned community. 11. Evaluation of Alternatives For purposes of analyzing potential environmental impacts, the ErR evaluated the proposed project and four alternatives. The four alternatives evaluated are the No Project Alternative (as required by CEQA), Open Space Park Greenbelt and Trails System Alternative, Lower Density, and Off-Site Alternative. 5/18/98(R:\CRG750~FEIBWlNDINGSWINDI~GS .WPD) I_~A Associates, Inc. These Statement of Facts and Findings address the proposed project as the alternative to be considered for approval bv the Cirv of Rancho Cucamonga. pursuant to staffs recommendation. Characteristics of the preferred alternative are provided herein. The f~lowing is a brief description of the ahematives considered, see Section 6 of the FEIR for more detail. Environmm~!~!~ $upm'ior Aitm'native The No Project/No Development Alternative is an Environmentally Superior alternative since no development would occur on the project site. Urdike the proposed project or the project alternatives, the No Project/No Development Alternative would not increase demand for public services, increase traffic volumes, circulation, air emkssion$ and noise levels (a&sociated with construction and operation of additional land uses), cause the additional need for recre- ational facilities, or increase potential impacts to biological or cultural resources, drainage, and aesthetics that may otherwise result from development of the project site. Significant short-term construction emissions would be elimirrored, and significant unavoidable long-term CO, ROC, and NOx emissions would be reduced with the No Project/No Development Alternative. As required by CEQA (Section 15126(d)(4), if the No Project/No Development Alternative is selected as the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR shall tires. Amon~ the altr~m~l~ considered, the Open Space ~t and Trails System Mtemat~ has the kmst rJ~n~ enviro~m,~r~i imlmm. Of the viable alternatives, the open space/trails system alternative would veault in fewer daily and peak hour vehicle trips and contammant emissions, and incremental into in ambient noise levels, and impacre on schools and parIra. Potential long-term local air quality impacts are considered sig~if~-~nt una-void~ble ~ impacts under either the proposed project or the Lower Density and Off-Site Alternatives. The Open Space Greenbelt and Trails System Alternative, however, superior to all other alternatives. There are economic impacts to the City with the implementation of the Open Space Greenbelt and Trails System Alternative. If the site is to be converted to an open space/tra~ system, the City would have to 1) purchase the property, 2) construct the trail system, and 3) provide long-term maintenance of a trail system on the 84.15-acre site. The cost to purchase the property, and construct and maintain the trails may cause an additional financial burden on City residents depending on how the City chooses to provide funding. In light of Proposition 218, additional use taxes would have to go to Citywide vote. Long-term funding for a City trail system on this site is not certain. Under th~ No PvoNt-~v~o-Development Alternative, the project site would remain in its existing vacant condition. The site could contain electric transmission 3/18/98(R:\CRG730~FEmWINDINGSWIND E~IGS.WPD) / ¢~ L~A Associates, Inc. towers tn the future under the current zoning; however. for the purposes of the "No Development Mternatives" analysis, the no development scenario is analyzed. Evaluation of the/Vo Project Alternative The No Project/No Development Alternative would reduce and/or eliminate all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project. In particular, significant adverse impacts related to short-term construction emissions and long-term local CO, ROC, and NOx that would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin (especially NOx), would not occur with this alternative. However, this alternative would result in impacts by eliminating opportunities to provide housing and, thereby, meet the goals of the City's General Plan Housing Element. This alternative would fail to meet three important objectives of the project and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The first objective is to preserve the single family character of residential neighborhoods within the City and provide a variety of housing types for various income levels; the second objective is to protect the neighborhood quality and residential nature of the neighborhood to the east; the third objective is to provide Brill residential and commercial development within the context of a planned community. Op~rn Spaco Park ~lt and Trails $ystom ~vo This alternative is a rational choice as a land use alternative for a long slender 84.15-acre parcel (330 feet wide by 10,756 feet long). Thia strip of land would contain a landscaped parkway along the length of future Day Creek Boulevard to enhance views of Mt. Baldy to the north and would also contain a trails system that would connect the existing and future planned residential areas in the Victoria W'mdrows area to the east and west of future Day Creek Boulevard (south of Highland Avenue and north of Base line Road) to the proposed regional commercial area south of Base Line Road and north of 1-15. Evaluation of the Open Space Park Greenbelt and Trails System Alternative The Open Space Park Greenbelt and Trails System Alternative would have less significant adverse environmental impacts than that of the proposed project discussed in Section 5.0 in the FEIR. In particular, significant unavoidable adverse impacts to local air quality would be reduced under this alternative. All other impacts of the proposed project would also be 'reduced under this alternative including impacts on public services, traffic, potential exposure of residences to noise related impacts, and aesthetics. 3/18/98(R: ~,CRG'~30'~FEIR'aglN DING S ~:IN D ING S WPDi LSA Associates. Inc~ Lower Density Alternative Under the Lower Density' Alternative. a General Plan and Victoria Community Plan amendment would be proposed that would be the same as proposed with the project between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road. However. the densi~es would be limited to the lower range v, athin each land use category {.i.e., Low Density [2 units/acre], Low-Medium Density [4 units/acre], and Medium Density [8 units/acre]). In the area south of Base Line Road, the land uses proposed would include 10.4 acres of Low-Medium Density (4 units/acre) from Base Line Road south to one-half the distance between Base Line Road and Church Street and Medium Density (8 units/acre) on 10.4 acres from one-half the distance between Base Line Road Church Street south to Church Street. The 27.7 acres south of Church Street would remain Regional Related Of- rice/Commercial as proposed with the project. The intent of this alternative is to potentially reduce the proposed proj6ct's impacts on public set,rices, specifically schools. .. Evaluation of the Lower Dengity Alternative The proposed project's impacts on air quality, traftic, fire, police, schools, and parks would be reduced with implementation of the Lower Density Alternative. There would be a slight reduction m vehicular traffic noise impacts with this alternative. The proposed project's impacts on drainage, biological resources, cultural resources, and aesthetics would remain the same with Lower Density Alternative. off. su~ man-n~ Section 15126(d) of the CEQA Guidelines requirea that an EIR consider only those feasible alternatives that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the signfficant impacts identified' for the project alternative. The General Plan Land Use Element of the City of Rancho Cucamonga allows development of residential uses in a number of areas primarily within the northerly portion of the City, in areas designated for a wide range of residential densities s'unilar to the proposed General Plan Amendments. SCE owns utility corridor easements to the north and south of the proposed project area that are actually an extension of the same utility easement as the proposed project. Potentially, the area that contains the utility easement north of Highland Avenue could be processed for a proposed General Plan Amendment to allow a variety of residential densities similar to the proposed project. Evaluation of the OfjC $ite Alternative Overall, the proposed project's impacts on drainage, traffic, noise, public services (fire, police, schools, and parks), biological resources, and cultural resources would remain the same with ~ alternative site. The significant unavoidable impacts on air quality would also be the same as with the proposed project since the air quality impacts of the proposed project are a result of operational vehicle emissions which would not be reduced with this alternative. 3/18D8(R:\CRG730WEIl~WI~DINGSWINDINGS.WPD) LSA Associates, Inc. Biological resources studies conducted for the proposed project concluded that no significant biological resources occur on site. It was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant impact on biological resources and no mitigation would be required. The off-s~te alternative would require biological resource surveys be conducted to determine whether the San Bernardino Menam's kangaroo rat and/or the California gnatcatcher, both protected species occur on site. This alternative does contain habitat of high quality that could support both species. Because of the high quality habitat that could support a protected species occurring on the off-site alternative, this would have a greater impact on biological resources than the proposed project. Impacts on aesthetics may potentially be the same with this alternative site. The alternative site is in the Eftwanda North Specific Plan which is similar to the Victoria Community Plan and also has.design guidelines which protect and enhance aesthetics and view corridors. In conclusion, an alternative site within an Edison utility corridor would have the same impacts as the proposed project and would not reduce the proposed projects' significant unavoidable long-term impact on air quality. EFFECTS DL~9~ffINED NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT OR MITIGATED TO A LESS-THAN-SIGNIFICANT LEVEL Drainage Significant Eftoct No. 1 The proposed project would substantially increase the impervious surface coverage, resulting in an increase in the total quantity and rate of water d_raining from the site. Existing drainage systems to the east can not accommodate the increase and stormwater flow. The proposed project has the potential to have a significant impact on existing drainage facilities. Finding No. 1 Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Fact~ in Support of Finding No. I The potential impacts pertaining to the total quantity and rate of water draining from the site have been eliminated or reduced to a level of less-than -significant through implementation of the mitigation measures and project design described within the Final EI1L Those measures will ensure that drainage from and through the site will be conveyed in a safe manner in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga engineering standards. 3/18/98(R:'~CRG'~30'~'E[RWINDINGS\.FIN DIN GS.WPD) /¢5 1.5A Associates, Inc ?mv development proposed between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road shall be conditioned to convey on-site drainage to the west to Day Creek Channel by storm drain systems in Victoria Park Lane and Base Line Road.

EXHIBIT B STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS 96-03B & 97-01 .AND VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENTS 96-01 & 97- 01/EDISON COMPANY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT INTRODUCTION The following Statement of Overriding Considerations in connection with the General Plan Amendments 96-03B & 97-01 and Victoria Community Plan Amendments 96-01 & 97-01/Edison Company EIR, and related discretionary actions (collectively referred to as the "Project") is hereby adopted by the Rancho Cucamonga City Council ("Council") pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et ~ ("CEQA"). CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance the economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of a project against its unavoidable environmental risks when deterrmning whether to approve the project. If the benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable adverse effects, those effects may be considered acceptable (CEQA Guidelines section 15093[a]). CEQA requires the agency to provide written findings (Fxhibit A) supporting the specific reasons for considerms a project acceptable when significant impacts are unavoidable. Such reasons must be ba~ed on substantial evidence in the'FEIRor elsewhere in the arlrnini.~ative record (CEQA Guidelines section 15093[b]). Those reasons are provided in this Statement of Overriding Considerations. The EIR has identified significant and unavoi0able adverse impacts that would result from the implementation of the proposed project. Operational emissions of the proposed project would result in a total of 851 lba./day of CO, 64 lbs./day of ROC, 136 lbs./day of NOx, 15 lbs./day of SOx, and 19 lbs./day of PM10. Among them, the emi~ions for CO, ROC, and NOx would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management District thresholds for daily operations by a large margin (especially NOx). Even after implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR, it is not guaranteed that the emissions would be reduced to below the significance thresholds. Therefore, the project's impact on air quality during daily operations would remain significant and unavoidable. The Council finds that the economic, social or other benefits of the Project outweigh all of the Project's significant and unavoidable impacts discussed in the Statement of CEQA Findings and Facts in Support of Findings and any other remaining significant effects found to be unavoidable including but not limited to the project's impacts on air quality. In making this finding, the Council has balanced the benefits of the Project against its unavoidable impacts and has indicated its willingness to accept those adverse impacts. The Council finds that each of the following benefits of the Project, independent of the other benefits, would warrant approval of the Project notwithstanding the unavoidable impacts of the Project. 3/19D8(R: \CRG730~FEIR~F[NDINGS~.STATEMEN WPD} LSA Associates, Inc.

RELATED TO THE ABOVE ITEMS IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR). RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Commission recommends approval of General Plan Amendments 96-03B and 97-01 and Victoda Community Plan Amendments 96-01 and 97-01 through the adoption of the attached resolutions and ordinances. BACKGROUND On March 25, 1998, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to review the proposed land use changes and receive public testimony. An attomey representing the property owner on the south side of Foothill Boulevard raised a concern with the mitigation of a 25-foot wide parkway requirement on the east side of Day Creek Boulevard. This issue will be addressed further in the report. At the conclusion of the public headng and their discussion, the Commission made the recommendations to the City Council as outlined below: ANALYSIS This section of the report summarizes the proposed amendments and the Commission's conclusions and recommendations. The detailed analysis of each application and its issues are contained in the attached Planning Commission staff report dated March 25, 1998. General Plan Amendment 96-03B and Victoria Community Plan Amendment 96-01: The land use amendments apply to the section of the project site between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road. ,It is divided into three areas for the purpose of land use discussion as shown in Exhibit "B" Areas 1 and 2 - between Highland Avenue and Abandoned Rail Line: The applicant requested land use designations of Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) and Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) for Areas 1 and 2 respectively. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01 AND VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 April 15, 1998 Page 3 Bo Comm/ssion recommendation,' Low and Low-Medium Residential as requested by the applicant'f2ecause the land use designations will provide density compatibility to the existing residences to the east. Area 3 - between Abandoned Rail Line and Base Line Road: The applicant requested land use designation of Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) for Area 3 as shown in Exhibit "B." The Commission considered the applicant's request and the alternative land use designation of Low-Medium Residential. Commission recommendation: Low-Medium land use designation. The detailed discussion of the alternative land use is contained in the attached March 25, 1998, Commission staff report. General Plan Amendment 97-01 and Victoria Community Plan Ametldment 97-01: The proposed land use amendments apply to the section of the project site between Base Line Road south to 1-15 Freeway. It is divided into four areas for the purpose of land use discussion as shown in Exhibit "C." Area 1 - between Base ! ine Road and Church Street: The applicant requested a land use designation of High Residential (24-30 dwelling unit per acre). Commiesion recommendei~on: Medium Resk~mtial because the lend use designation will provide density compatibility to the existing and proposed uses to the east and sou~. The detailed discussion of the alternative land use i~ contained in the attached March 25, 1998, Commission staff report. Are-- ~ ~:FI :~ - betweert P-'-e ! irm R,,---I "-,xl Ch,,rch Str,,,*', The applicant requested land use designation of Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) for Area 2 and Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre) for Area 3. Commission recommendation: Medium and Medium-High Residential as requested by the applicant because they will be compatible to the easterly land uses. The Con~n/ss/on acknowledged that the City will have another opportunity to review and con~iderthe ultimate land use pattern for this area because the City has received a new application that proposes to reduce the residential density. Are~, 4 - between Church Street and I-15 Freeway: The applicant requested a land use designation of Regional Related Office/Commercial consistent with the land use west and south of the site. Commission recommendation: Regional Related Office/Commercial because it will be compatible to adjacent commercial use. 25-Foot Wide P~,rkway at the Fast Side of Day Creek Roulevard: At the March 25, 1998, public hearing, an attorney representing the Leggio family, owners of the properties located south of Foothill Boulevard, voiced their concerns with the proposed widened parkway, specifically the portion of the street alignment that swings westward as shown in Exhibit "F." CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01 AND VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 April 15, 1998 Page 4 They were concerned that the increased w~dth for that stretch of Day Creek Boulevard would place a burden"on the property owner. Staff response: The only reason that a 7-foot parkway was identified in the Victoria Community Plan for the east side of Day Creek Boulevard was because of the Edison corridor. With the change in land use, the increased parkway width from 7 to 25 feet is proposed to mitigate the environmental impacts identified in the EIR, including the loss of open space and the view shed. The multi-purpose trail within the widened parkway is proposed to mitigate part of the air quality impact because the biking and hiking trail would encourage non-motorized trips along the corddor to and from the Adult Sports Complex on Rochester Avenue and other commercial uses along Day Creek Boulevard. The increase in parkway width will also provide a balanced appearance with the parkway width on the west side of Day Creek Boulevard. Staff responded at the meeting that the property owner would not loose additional land because the 45..foot building setback is measured from the curb instead of the property line. The 25-foot parkway will be within the 45-foot building setback as shown in Exhibit "E." With regards to the stretch of Day Creek Boulevard along side the I-15 Freeway, staff responded at the meeting that the final design of the parkway has not been established and the design for that stretch of the street will be reviewed with flexibility so that the property owner would not be burdened unnecessarily. The attomey was provided with copies of Exhibits "E" and "F." Commission ~: Approve increase in patfn~y wfdth to 2~ feet. Fnvironment=l Assessment: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for the land use amendments. The environmental analysis is contained in the separate EIR staff report, which will be considered at the same hearing. The FIR includes a list of mitigation measures that will reduce the identified im~to W than ~il~,ir~ v.~ level ~ included is a monitoring program to ensure compliance with the m'~gation measures. The identified air quality impact cannot be m'~gated to a level of less than significant and a Statement of Overriding Considerations will have to be considered by the Council. This issue will be discussed in the related EIR staff report. FACTS FOR FINr31NC4: The Planning Commission recommended the Coundl make the following facts for findinga: The project site is suitable for the uses allowed in the proposed Land Use and Development District designations. The proposed amendments will have significant adverse impacts on the environment as described in the EIR, but the potential positive impacts of other environmental aspects will provide sufficient benefits, as listed in the Statement of Overriding Considerations attached to the proposed City Council Resolution to certify the EIR. The proposed amendments are in conformance with the General Plan and the Victoda Community Plan because they promote the goals and objectives for single family residential development and commercial development.

RELATED TO THE ABOVE ITEMS IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) ABSTRACT/BACKGROUND: Last Apnl, Southern California Edison (SCE) submitted applications to change the land use designation for their surplus utility corridor. The utility corridor is located along the east side of the future Day Creek Boulevard between Highland Avenue and 1-15. According to SCE, the surplus land was sold to private development companies. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the proposed land use changes. Staff prepared a separate report for the EIR, which will be reviewed by the Commission at the same headng. The Commission will consider both the EIR and the land use changes and will make recommendations to the City Council in that order. PROJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING SITE DESCRIPTION: Project Site and its Characteristics: The project site is linear in shape, approximately 330 feet wide by 10,756 feet long, contains multiple parcels, and is 84.15 acres in size. It is located approximately 1,200 feet east of Day Creek Channel and extends from the I-15 freeway north to Highland Avenue. The linear site is undeveloped and was previously set aside for utility corridor use. The project site is relatively fiat and vegetation consists of abandoned vineyards and native plants. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Utility Corridor and is zoned Utility Corridor/Open Space within the Victoria Community Plan. Surrounding Site and its Land Use: Surrounding the project site is mainly undeveloped land. North of the site will be the future Route 30 freeway where construction will begin soon. West of the site is the future Day Creek Boulevard and undeveloped land. It is zoned commercial and residential within the Victoria Community Plan. East of the site is undeveloped except for the section between Highland Avenue and the abandoned Southern Pacific Rail line which is developed with single family homes. The remainder portion is zoned for commercial and multi-family development. South of the site is undeveloped and zoned for industrial. Exhibits "B" and "C" show the existing land uses for the project site and the surrounding areas. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01 AND VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 March 25, 1998 Page 3 ANALYSIS: General: SCE.l~roposes to change the land use from Utility Corridor to the same land uses as those to the east of the project site. The following sections of the report focus on the appropriateness of the proposed land uses and the consideration of alternative land uses. General Plan Amendment 96-03B and Victoda Community Plan Amendment 96-01: These land use amendments apply to the section of the project site between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road. This section of the project site is divided into three areas, as shown in Exhibit "B" for discussion and evaluation of land uses. Areas 1 and 2 - Proposed Land Uses between Highland Avenue and Abandoned Rail Line: The applicant requested land use designations of Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) and Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) for Areas 1 and 2 respectively. East of the site is developed with single family residences and the existing land uses are Low and Low-Medium Residential. West of the site between Highland Avenue and Silverberry Street is designated Village Commercial, and between Silverberry Street and the abandoned rail line is designated Medium and Low-Medium Residential. The density ranges are 4-8 and 8-14 dwelling units per acre respectively. Future residential development based on the proposed land uses for the project site would not be impacted by the future commercial and multi-family development located at the west side because future Day Creek Boulevard creates a buffer separation between the uses. Further, the widened parleway (25 feet) at the east side of the street based on the mitigation cited in the EIR will provide additional buffer from the major arterial. The concern with single family development abutting the future freeway toward the north side is the impacts of noise and aesthetics. Because there will be a frontage road with parkway landscaping for this stretch of Highland Avenue and the Victoria Community Plan requires a Minor Community Entry design at the comers of Day Creek Boulevard and Highland Avenue, the future residential area will be adequately buffered from the future freeway. Exhibit "E" shows the Entry Hierarchy Plan within the planned community. Staff believes that the proposed land uses of Low and Low-Medium Residential would be appropriate because they provide density compatibility to the existing residences to the east and the mitigation cited in the EIR adequately addresses the buffedng of residential area. Area 3 - Proposed Land Use between Abandoned Rail Line and Base Line Road: The applicant requested land use designation of Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) for Area 3 as shown in Exhibit "B," East of the site is an existing mini- storage and RV storage facility and east of the facility is undeveloped land but planned for a future condominium complex. The existing land use designation is also Medium Residential with the density range of 8-14 dwelling units per acre. West of the site is undeveloped and the existing land use designations are Medium Residential and Community Facility, The Community Facility designation at the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and the abandoned rail line is to allow for a future fire station, if needed. Staff believes that a Medium Residential land use designation would be appropriate as it will provide the same density as the existing land use. Consideration of Alternative Land Use for Area 3: An alternative land use proposed to be considered for Area 3 is Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre). The PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01 AND VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 March 25, 1998 Page 4 City's Redevelopment Agency (RDA) owns the property at the northwest corner of Base L~ne Road and Day Creek Boulevard. which was set aside for future housing developme, pt and for a future fire station. According to RDA staff, the intention of the Agency Board is to sell the property for single family housing development. A request to change the land use from Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) to Low- Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) will occur at the time of disposal of the property to facilitate the residential development. Recently, the City received a single family development proposal from Lewis Homes/ADR Development for this section of the project site under General Plan Amendment 96-03B, that is between Highland Avenue and Base Line Road. Again, the concern of having single family development along two major arterials is the impacts of noise and visual aesthetics. Under the Victoda Community Plan, the intersection of Base Line Road and Day Creek Boulevard is a Major Residential Entry as shown in Exhibit "E." The entry design would require widened landscaping and edge treatment at the four corners. Also the EIR contains mitigation to address the visual impact by increasing the width of the parkway at the east side of Day Creek Boulevard from 7 to 25 feet. The major entry design together with the widened parkway would adequately buffer the proposed single family residential development from the two major arterials. Therefore, the alternative Low- Medium land use designation could be appropriate for this section of the project site. Further, a residential land use designation, whether LOW, Low-Medium, or Medium Residential, would not preclude the opportunity to have non-residential uses such as the expansion of the existing mini-storage and RV vehicle storage facility, churches, private schools, child care cente~, park and open space, etct.' (See Exhibit "H") Staff Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff concluded the appropriate land use for Area 1 between Highland Avenue and Silverberry Street is Low Residential, Area- 2 between Silverberry Street and the abandoned ratt line is Low-Medium Residential, and Area 3 between the abandoned raW line and Base Line Road is Low-Medium Residential. Gener~,l Plain Amendment 97-01 ~nd Victori., Community Pl~,n Amendment 97-01: These land use amendments apply to the section of the project site between Base Line Road south to I;15 Freeway. This section of the project site is divided into four areas, as shown in Exhibit "C" for discussion and evaluation of land uses. ' Are~, 1 - Proposed Land Uses between Base Line Road and Church Street: The applicant requested a land use designation of High Residential (24-30 dwelling unit per acre) for Area 1. The proposed High Residential for Area 1 with a density range of 24-30 dwelling units per acre will not provide the proper density transition to a Medium Residential with a density of 8-14 dwelling units per acre within Area 2. Staff believes that the best land use designation for Area 1 is to have a Medium Residential designation, which will provide land use compatibility. Are¢,s ~ and 3 - ProPOSed Land Uses between Base ! ine Road and Church Street: The applicant requested land use designation Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) for Area 2 and Medium-High Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre) for Area 3. These proposed land uses correspond to the existing land uses east of the project site. Staff believes that the proposed Medium and Medium-High Residential for Areas 2 and 3 are appropriate because they will be compatible to the eastedy land uses. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01 AND VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 March 25, 1998 Page 5 Area 4 - Proposed Land Use between Church Street and 1-15 Freeway: The appficant requested a !and use designation of Regional Related OfficeiCommercial consistent with the I~f~'~d use west and south of the site. Staff believes that the proposed land use is appropriate because it will be compatible with the adjacent commercial use. Consideration of Alternative Land Uses for Areas 1 through 3: Alternative land uses of Low Residential and Low-Medium Residential were considered for Areas 1, 2, and 3. The two lower density alternatives may create land use conflicts between single family development and multi-family development such as town houses and condominiums. The existing land use south of the Church Street is predominantly commercial with the City's Regional Center immediately south of Church Street. The lower density land use in Area 3 would create a major land use conflict. Staff Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, staff concluded the appropriate land uses are Medium Residential for Areas 1 and 2, Medium High Residential for Area 3 and Regional Related Office/Commercial for Area 4. Related Information on the Adjacent Victoria Lakes (Arbors): Staff recently received land use amendment applications for major changes to the Victoria Lakes Village within the Victoria Community Plan. The proposed project area encompasses the Victoria Lakes project, areas west of Day Creek Boulevard, areas west of Etiwanda Avenue, and includes the section of utility corridor under General Plan Amendment 97-01 and Victoda Community Plan Amendment 97-01. The proposed changes involve reducing the residential density within the Victoria Lakes project and changing some of the commercially designated land at the west side of Day Creek Boulevard to multifamily residential land uses. An EIR is required and staff has selected a consultant to prepare the EIR. The purpose of this information is to give the Commission a "heads up" on the future land use consideration. Essentially, the Commission would have another opportunity to review comprehensively the land use pattern for this block of land area. Proposed Modification to the Ultimate Width of the Parkway for the Fast Side of Dav Creek Boulevard: The existing width of Day Creek Boulevard is 120 feet with a 19-foot parkway at the west side and a 7-foot parkway at the east side, as shown in Exhibit "F." The narrower parkway on the east side was in anticipation of a future utility corridor with high tower transmission lines. With the proposed land use changes for residential and commercial development, an impact identified by the EIR is the loss of aesthetic and view shed. The mitigations listed in the EIR are: increase the parkway width to 25 feet to preserve the v~ew shed and require the applicant who files the first development or tentative map to submit specific designs for the parkway, the sound wall along Day Creek Boulevard, the plant palette, and other related graphics within the Victoria Community Plan. To follow through with this mitigation, staff has modified pages 155 and 157 of the Victoria Community Plan to add design criteria that requires the developer, at the time of filing a tentative map or development, to pay for a consultant hired by the City to design the special parkway, the landscape edge treatment, the sound wall, the plant palette, etc., for Planning Commission review and approval prior to approval of a tentative map or development. Exhibits "F" and "G" show the proposed modification. Environmental Assessment: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for the land use amendments applications The environmental analysis is contained in the PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 96-03B & 97-01 AND VCPA 96-01 & 97-01 March 25. 1998 Page 6 separate EIR staff report. which will be cons~clered at the same hearing. The proposed alternative land uses discussed in this report have been evaluated in the EIR. The mitcgat~on with the monitoring program address the proposed and the alternative land uses. FACTS FOR FINDING: Based on the facts and conclusions listed above, staff believes the Planning Commission can make the following facts for findings: The project site is suitable for the uses allowed in the proposed Land Use and Development Distdct designations. The proposed amendments will have significant adverse impacts on the environment as described in the EIR, but the potential positive impacis of other environmental aspects will provide sufficient benefits, as listed in the Statement of Overriding CoBsiderations attached to the proposed City Council Resolution to certify the EIR. The proposed amendments are in conformance with the General Plan and the Victoda Community Plan because they promote the goals and objectives for single family residential development and commercial development.

In March of 1986 the area bounded on the west by Milliken Avenue, on the north by the northerly City limits, on the east by Rochester Avenue and on the south by Highland Avenue was annexed into the district. The first annual special tax rate of $350 per acre was set by City Council in Fiscal Year 1985/86. This rate has never been increased in the ensuing fiscal years. However, on May 5, 1992, the City conducted a refunding of this district. Bonds were issued for $16,530,000.00 to cover the remaining debt. The savings from this refunding were passed on to the residents and decreased the special annual tax from $350 per acre to $297.48 per acre. Under the Loan and Pledge Agreement the Redevelopment Agency contributes sufficient funds each fiscal year, that when combined with the special tax meet the requirements of the annual debt service payment.

AICP, City Manager Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Jerry B. Fulwood, Deputy City Manager BY: Nettie Nielsen, Recreation Supervisor SUBJECT: After School Program Update The State of California's decision to offer incentives to public elementary schools to reduce class room sizes for lower grades has resulted in our local elementary schools lowering class sizes. This reduction has meant the additional hiring of teachers as well as placed a strain on current facility capacities. Portable classrooms and every available space is used to accommodate the additional classes. This, in turn, has affected the YMCA, which provides before and after school programs for elementary ages on selected school sites. Previously, the YMCA utilized portables provided by the schools. During the past two years, the YMCA has been faced with the challenge of finding suitable space on the campuses, purchasing their own portables, or discontinuing service when they do not have a facility to run the program. The YMCA is diligently working to keep service levels up. The City of Rancho Cucamogna, recognizing a need for alter school program for middle and junior high school students, recently started a program at the RC Family Sports Center. The City received a $30,000 grant from the State of California to develop an at~er school program for at-risk or latch key children. This grant was a one time distribution of funds and no matching funds from the City were required. The grant has allowed us to transform the multi-purpose room at the Family Sports Center into a teen room containing a large screen television, two pool tables, ping pong, electronic dart boards, and Nintendo systems. We are continuing to evaluate the program and add items as necessary. Four Recreation Leaders staff the program, which operates Mondays through Fridays from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. During the week of April 6 (Spring Break Week) the program is operating from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The program began on Monday March 30 and will continue until the end of the school year. Daily attendance is climbing, with an average of 50 - 60 attending per day. During Spring Break Week up to 90 teens had come through in one day. Reaction from the students and parents has been very positive. :ierry B,~q::ulwood-- - Deputy City Manager CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: April 15. 1998 Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack L~trn, AICP, City Manager FROM: Rick Gomez, Community Development Director Jerry Fulwood, Acting Community Services Director BY: Karen McGuire-Emery, Senior Park Planner SUBJECT: PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES UPDATE BACKGROUND In accordance with the City Council's request to become more informed of park and recreation facility issues, programs, projects and events, this report is provided to highlight pertinent issues, projects and programs occurring in both the Community Services Department and the Park Design/Development and Maintenance Sections of Engineering.

The Sage Council and our members has continued, since 1991 to notify the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City) of the ecologicar importance of conserving "public trust" natural resources and tands. More specifically we have requested that the City actively conserve Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS) and Alluvial Sage Scrub natural communities within their jurisdiction and sphere of influence that are designated 81.1 'very threatened," and habitat for rare, threatened and endangered species. in addition, we have repeatedly requested that the City ensure the consmvafion of Cultural Resources of the indigenous Shoshone "Gabrfelino" Tribe, of 'California City of Rancho Cucamonga/Mayor & City Council Page Two Mission Indians," within their ancestral territory and village of Cucamong(n)a, including lands of ethnobotanical eigni6cance, and regestered or eligable archeological sites. It is the intent of the Sage Council to provide substantial comments, criticisms, and recommendations to tl~e "responsible" government agency and City for the Administrative Record, and to assist the City and Council Members in making a decision that upholds the "public trust'' in local government and applicable State public codes and Federal regulations that protects biological and cultural resources. Position On 13shall of our effected members that re~ide in the City of Rancho Cucamonga and County of San Bernardino (County), the Sage Council opposes the current I~Oposal as referenced. In light of inadequate mifiga'don measures for biological and cultural resources, and lack of a full range of Alternatives to the proposals, the Sage Council mua'. request the No Project/No Amendment Alternative. In addition, we request that the City Council return the EtR to the City Planning Department for amendments that would ensure that environmental impacts to Biological and Cultural Resources have been adequately addressed and m'rtJgated for~ Sage Council members an(I public citizens are personally injured by the loss of biological diversity, natural open spaces, public trust natural resources and lands in the City, County, and State. Our members and public citizens currentty enjoy natural opens spaces for their visual beauty, sustaining flora and fauna, outdoor education, scientific pursuits, indigenous Native American ceremonies, spiritual renewal, recreation, and nature photography. The City and Edison Company have not provided for adequate avoidance and/or m'rtiga§on of the States "very threatened" RAFSS natural community on site. The City has continued to allowed the incremental loss and destruction of RAFSS despite objections raised by the Sage Council, Ca#fomia Departrrmnt of Fish & Game (CDFG), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and to the detriment of the environment. The proposed Edison project end General Plan amendments are yet another example of the City's disregard and environmental negligence. The Sage Council has reviewed the comments made by the California Department of Fish & Game (CDFG) and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, including the City and consultants (LSA) response in regards to proDosed amendments and CEQA documents. The Sage Councfl generel/y supports those comment teltern submitted to the City by CDFG (dated 4-2-98 and 4-12-98) and FWS (dated 12-23-97) in regards to the referenced proposals, EIR, RAFSS, and Sensitive Habitats. We ternrod the City Council and Edison Company/project proponents that the Courts recognize CDFG and FWS as experts, deferring to the age13cies recommendations unless overwhelming scientific evidence and best methods prove otherwise. It wo~ld be prudent for the City and Edison to follow the recommendations made by the agencies, rather than relying upon scientifically unsubstantuated and unconclusive opinions or speculations made by the CEy Planning staff and paid consultants. Rive~ldeall Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub/Alluvial Scrub "An estimated 90 percent of the histodc acreage coastal sage scrub vegetation has been lost as a result of development and land conversion (see Westman 1981a, 1981b, Barbour and Major 1977), leaving coastal sage scrub as one of the most depleted I~abitet types in tl~e United States (Kirkpatrick and Hutchinson 1977, Axehod 1978, Klopetek etal. 1979, Westman 1987, O'Leary 1990~. The City has been informed since 1991 of the importance of conserving the remaining RAFSS habitat within their jurisdiction.Then again, on March 13, 1992, the FWS wro{e in letter to Supervisor Jon MikeIs that... "[A]lluviat scrub is a type of coastal sage scrub. Alluvial scrub habitat is found only along the coastal draining slopes of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains. It is estimated that only 5% of this habitat remains. As you may know.. this loss is the result of residential and commercial development, water diversions, and flood control structures .... Considerable interest has developed regarding the protection of biologically functioning alluvial scrub habitat .... in addition, the area's many residential developments either proposed, planned, or under construction in San Bernardino County will eliminate significant acreage .... The Sen/ice suggests that the County of San Bernardino Planning Department consider the remaining alluvial scrub habitat within their jurisdiction of high priority for protection and p~ssibly develop a special planning district. The environmental constraints should be identified forst and any development that would not impact these constraints could be considered.' 84,"15/1998 16:55 62674499~1 ESA NETWCRK PAGE 84 City of Rancho Cucamonga/Mayor & City Council Page Three The City also sponsored a workshop on RAFSS along with FWS and members of the Sage Council. This workshop was video taped and is baleveal to be in the C~/archival records. However, the City must also consider the significant environmental changes in RAFSS since 1992 regarding continued loss of habitat acres and increased threats. RAFSS Is much mere threatened now than in 1992. CDFG recommended a 5:1 ratio replacement for RAFSS in their comments on the North EtiwanOa Specific Plan. Unfortunately, the CDFG and FWS only received a 3:1 ratio habitat replacement for the Rt. 30 expansion, rather than the much needed 5:1 r~tigation. Knowing that RAFSS has substantially decreased in remaining habitat acres and more threatened than ever before, the City and Edison has failed address this issue or mitfgate at a 5:1 or even a 3:1 ratio for habitat replacement in the final CEQ, A documents. The Fn/VS end CDFG concur that the City and Edison have not adequately addressed or mitigated for proposed impacts to disturbed, yet significant, RAFSS habitat on site. In consideration of approximately 50-acres of dPaturt)ed RAFSS on site; the Sage Council recommends that the City request that Edison avoid additional impacts to the natural community and/or require Edison to acquire for conservation purposes 150-acres of higher quality RAFSS habitat adjacent to or contiguous with the North Etawanda Preserve (County Open Space District (OSD) 1). The Sage Council is aware that there are "wfl#ng sellers" within the area that the City has also mapped as a Resource Conservation area in regards to the North Etiwanda Specific Plan/Resource Management Plan. This option should have been incruded in the FEIR as the Enviror~mentalJy Superior and Preferred A~ternative for the referenced project and amendments. In addition, adopting such an AltematNe would contribute the City and County's obligations and Intentlona~ goal of the proposed MSHCP and NCCP for the region in a positive way. The Sage Council encourages the City make such a pos'rdve contribu§on and take a leadership role dudng the interim planning process. Another aspect of the dralt and FEIR that the Sage Council finds erroneous end misleading ~s the Interchangeable descdptior~s of vegetative componarrts of RAFFS habitat. Apparently, the EIR identifies coastal sage scrub and buckwheat scrub to avoid having to address ar)d mitigate for RAFSS habitat as it is State designated of S1.1 "very threatened" (Natural Diversity Data Base), Thus, requiring mitigation pursuant to CEQA, the NCCP Act, and the California Native Plant Protection Act. Acoording to state and federal agency botanists and plant ecologists (personal communicaBon with Mary Meyer, CDFG, and Scott Eliason, FWS) "buckwheat scr~Jb.' as referred to in the dralt and FEIR, is not a separate vegetation type or classification, bu~ is a plant spades that Is a known component of RAFSS. Depending upon the maturity stage of RAFSS habitat, natural or man made disturbances to RAFSS habitat areas, there will be var~ng mosaics of dominate plant species throughout the ecosystems patchwork quilt resemblance. Buckwheat is a RAFSS indicator and but one of the numerous species that contributes to the biological divemiry of the natural community. Buckwheat is regarded as evidence, along with the topographic placement of the subject lands, that the project site is RAFSS habitat and that impacts must be mitigated for. The Sage Council recommends that the City Council require redesign of the Edison project and appropriate proied Ai~ernafives to development, rather than resting upon "presumptions," or the yet unapproved and Incomplete MultiSpecies Habitat Consel"ration Plan (MSHCP) and Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) program. Such 'plans" are not an existing conservation provisions and do not provide rr~tigat/on, but are only virtual concepts. The Ctty's remarks and response to comments on thefiR, specifically those made to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) are erroneous and misleading in regards to the proposed MSHCP, NCCP, or Plan MOts. (see also Shilling, F. 1997, and Save Our Springs AI!ianv-~ v. Babbitt, TX.) In addition, the entire HCP process that Is currently under, ray would be thrown into further turmoil in regards to the rnisappropria§on and fraudulent use of State and Federal funds, if the City again refused to follow the permi~tin~ agencies recommendations and approved another development project In Subregion 13.0. Is the City in compliance with the County's contracts regarding conservation planning? Furthermore, is the County acting as the lead agency for the C~ In regards to conservation of endangered species and habitats? As far as the Sage Council is aware, the answe~ is YES! Yet, the Planning Staff have failed to give any mention of the City's current responsibilities in regards to these matters, including the regulatory requirements for NCCP particpants to comply with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines and Procedures, pursuant the federal ESA Section 4(d) Special Rule for the Coastal California Gnatcatcher. As the City has been made aware, the proposed MSHCP and NCCP are "habitat based" plans that are intended to conserve habitat and regional biodiversity for certain identified or "target" species. The City must comply with such regulatory requirements, including the "Terms and Conditions" of the Special Rule as set forth in the FWS Biological Opinion. The State NCCP Act and subregional plans must be consistent FJ4/'lS/19'_~S ]6:55 52h_-7449'_~3~. ES',& NETI....IE'RK P~GE 85 Crty of Rancho Cucarrmnga/Mayor & City Council Page Four with the Special Rule. Thus, all intodin projects within CDFG and FVVS delineated NCCP subregions must also be consistent with the Special Rule and NCCP Conservation and Process Guidelines as stipulated In ~1 of the Terms and Conall'dons. Therefore, the Sage Council contends that the USFWS, CDFG, County, City, and Standard Pacific are in violation of the "Terms and Conditions" of the Special Rule, and Section 4(d), 7, 9, and 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. (see "Terms and Conditions" 1-§ per BO (1-6-93-FW-37)), November 10, 1993 More specifically, the responsible agencies shoulcl review page 4 of the BO; "The Service is presuming that the goals and strategy of the program will be followed fully by the participating parties. if the presumption is correct, p~eserve compmmi$ir~l devetopment~ will not be proposed or approved by participants in the NCCP program during the interim period.", and then #1 on page 9; "The Service sha~l ensure that both the NCCP Conservation and Process Guidelines are implemented to accoml~Sh the goals of the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the State's Natural Community Conservation Planning Act of lgg 1." (empha~L~ added). The County, as lead agency for the proposed MSHCP ar)d NCCP, has received substanclal State and Federal funding as one of '[t]he Southern California Counties participating in the NCCP" Program (see HR Budget Report of September 1997). It appears that the County, City and Edison have failed to comply with the NCCP Conserval~on and Process Guidelines as demonstrated in the FEIR. The NCCP Scientific Review Panel (SRP) identified the project area as *high quality habitat" and their opinions are considered the "best available scientific data" according to the Special Rule/Conservation and Process Guidelines. Therefore, this habitat should not be removed or degraded dudng the MSHCP and NCCP interim daveh3pment process. "'the most certain environmental impact of any development project is the reduction and increased tnsutarization of available habitat, otherwise known as habitat fragmentation (Wilcox 1984, Wilcox and Murphy 1985). Habitat fragmentation has become the principal anthropogenic impact with which the scientific d~scipline of conservation I~ology is concerned. It is obvious and well accepted among ecologists that "habitat fragmentation is the most sedous threat to biological diversity and is the pdmary cause of the present ex, tinc'aon crisis" (Wilcox and Murphy t985). No mitigation application is likely to eliminate the impact of any development p[oject on hahilar fragmentaMon, whether the strategy includes minimization of spaces take, translocation, habitat "enhancement" in a reserve, acreage replacement in the form of easement or fee title purchase, nor the establishement of "preserves" interconnected by habitat "corridors" Deveopment pro,acts almost always reduce the spatial areas within which the legally rare species can survive, and they reduce the capacity of the landscape to provide lot the dispersal and interchange of individuals from mebapopulations. Fragmentation also increases habitat edges and their associated edge effects (Yahnor 1988). Reduced spatial extent and increased edge-to-interior ratio correlate with more frequent intrusion and establishment of exotic species populations and other effects (Smallwood 1994). Land conversion extending ngMt up to the reserve boundary w~f reduce the effectiveness of the boundary and of l:he resolve ~unctlon well beyond the physical/i~liMcal boundary of the reserve (Schonewald-Cox and Bayless 1986). Therefore, the City must take adequate administrative steps to protect remaing habitat areas, including patches, corridors or buffers, and enhance disturbed habitat P, AFSS areas to benefit the recovery of listed or 'target" species as identified in the MSHCP MOU. Furthermore, recent research results indicate a consislent pattern of dynamic spatial distributions among Species populations. That is,[fire disturbance and habitat type conversion effect the Coastal California Gnatcatcher and other species] populations usually are crustareal spatiatlf (Grog.Smith 1983, Smallwood 1995, Smallwood and Schonewald 1996), and these clusters shift locations through time (Taylor and Taylo~ 1977'; den Boer 1981; Hahski 1994). Once the populal~on density has been defined, its life span is limited, because nature is always achelying some balance between dispersive and congregatory behaviors (Taylor and Taylor 1977). By constraining populations to "l:~eserves" that are some lraction of the spatial area of existing habitat, and by not guaranteeing contiguity of the mitigation preserve.~, the HCP/ITP [Project] planners deny the fisted species and other species the ability to naturally shift to new locations_ Contiguity has been shown to be very important for population sizes among habitat patches for amphibians (Loan and Verboom 1990) and small mammals (La Polta and Barrett 1993), and its role In ecosystem CI~ of Rancho CucamongaJMayor & CiW Coundl Page Five fuilcfionelity is e we~t accepted principle among ecologists and conservation biologists (Foreman 1981, V~/cox and Murphy 1985, Turner ~989). The typical HCP/ITP preserves will be mere fragments of previously contiguous habitat. which may very well fail to protect the species, and they certainly will not provide for recovery.' (Smallwood, S. at. al. The NCCP Scientific Review Panel, in drafting the Conservation and Process G~delines, found that revegatation in an unacceptable form of mitigation and cannot be used to substitute in $#u protection of habitat end habitat values (see also Read, E.A., M. Blaine, and P, Bowler, 1996; Fahselt 1988; Griffith at. al 1989; Hollings 1992; Howaid 1§93; Morrison,M at. al 1992; Wilco*x 1984 ). The Sage Council is requesting that the FWS and CDFG support our recommendations, In writing, by requiring the Ctiy to prepare an Addendum to the EIR or Subsequent EIR for public review and comment. The FWE; end CDFG must give the City, and County as the lead and responsible agency for the proposed HCP/NCOP, a wntten notice that the Edison project and General Plan amendments is expected to impact habitats that are expected to effect polentlal core reserves for species survival and/or recovery. The County should also be contacted in writing by the Department and Sewice regarding their NCCP MOU and proposed MSHCP Planning Agreement. As the lead local agency, that has received State and Federal appropriations for their "participation" in the NCCP, the Courtty should notiN the City in writing that they must comply with the NCCP MOU and prevent the destruction of a potential core reserve and wildlife corridor. Although FiNS has provided numerous substantial comment letlers to the City for this proposal and others, including those within the County, the Sage Council is aware that such comments include the folk)wing. "[L/ess then 5% of the orfginal acreage of alluvial fan sage scrub habitat in southern California remains. The Ly#e Creek end Cejon Wash area represenfs ep~ox, 30~ of that habitat remaining. The continued removal of alluvial fan scrub habitat is likely to result the listing of several candidate species that are known only from this heb#at.' (emphasis edctecl) (FWS letter to the County dated 2-21-92), In addition, the FWS leffer of January 7, 1994 to Sen Bernardino County Flood Control, Re: CalMer Company operaohs end lease agreements in Lytle Creek and Cajon Wash (1-6-94-TA-42), as previously mentioned, states, "[A]ny irn13acts that could not be avoided would need to be minimized as much as possible. Impacts remaining would then need to be rectified or compensated for through a combination of restoration, e~harmement, acquisition, o~ preservation of alluvial fen scrub habitat. Due to the difficulty in revegetating 0.e. meeting) this I~ant community, acquisition and preservation has been pursued as a form of mifigal~on in similar cases. Because this by itself still resu~ in a net loss of habitat, other forms of rnltlgatlon would need to take place concu[~ently. However, without conservation of a significant portion of alluvial fan scrub habitat in it natural state for future plant and animal recruitment, no amount of revaga~a~on will be successful..." The Sage Council believes that such FWS comments are also applicable to the proposed Edison Project and General Plan amendments. Biological As~,essm~nts & Mitigation Requirements Although the consultants may have not acknowledged any listed endsgered species occudng on the project site, it does not negate the ecological importance of the effected area in regards to potential recovery habitat for species that have not yet received recovery plans or designated critical habitat required by the ESA. In addition, the ESA requires the conservation of "ecosystems." The LI.S. Supreme Court has found that the intent of the Endangered Spades Act is "to hall and reverse the trend towards species extinctions, whatever the cost. This is effectuated not only In the stated policies of the Act, but in literally every section of the statute." Babbitt v. Sweet Home. C!~apter (1995) 132 LEd 2d 597. In cor~lderation of the recovery needs of a species the "public trust" agencies must identify the range and distribution of the species populations within the historic, current, end presently remaining special habitat area, including an analysis of threats. Presence/absense surveys on a project site do not adequately assess the species needs or threats, but result In unconctusive and erroneous assumptions that the Incremental habitat loss, whether occupied or unoccupied, on site 04/15/1998 16:55 626?449921 ESA NETWORK PAGE 07 City of Rancho Cucamonga/Mayor & City Council Page Six is insignificant or minimal. The species surveyor must not only utilize FWS and/or CDFG survey protocol, but abo "best scientific methods" when reaching conclusions regarding mitigation and monitoring. The species and/or habitat surveyor or biological consultant must consider the species population dynamics and genetic interchange. While the City and/or agencies may require only species presence/absence surveys by protocol, the Sage Council recommends that the City ensures that "best scientific methods" are utilized (Grinnell, J. 1928; Kerr, J.R. 1994; Kotlier, N,B., and J.A, Wlens, 1990; Mafia, G.E and C.R, Carroll, 1994 ) that can withstand a legal challenge. It Is our opinion, and that of quall~ed sclen!~fic experts that the FWS species survey protocol is often Issa than adequate and sometimes 'negotiated" rather than "the best" method (e.g. Coastal California Gnatcatcher survey protocol is lea~ than adequate according to species' experts). The fitness of the species in relation to habYmt components and utilization must De considered in meeting conservation requirements (Braden G. et. el. 1997). As stated, the species natural distribution, population dynamics, populaUon ~,iabiity analysis/risk assessments, and current status must be considered in relation to effects and adequate mitigation measures (Smallwood, S. et. el. 1997). These referenced scientific reports are availal~e upon request from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Carlsbad, CA., and should have been considered by the biological consultant. Wildl/fe Corridors & Refugia Habitat While the City artd Consultants response to agency comments touch upon the problems with roads In regards to habitat fragmentation or obsticales to species natural movement corridors, they also fail to recognize that species movement, while jeopardized by traffic on Highland Ave., nevertheless does still occur. Sage Council members have on several observed mule deer in the early morning hours crossing Highland Ave. from the eastern side of Day Creel( channel. In addition, we have recorded deer tracks, through photographs, found o~ the west side of Day Creek on both sides of Highland Ave. The City has on record the EIR for 4th Street Rock Project that actually m'['dgated impacts to setting aside habitat aloflg the west side of Day Creek charmer to conserve the %vildlife corridor." The Sage Council previously voiced our opposition to FVVS regarding the Rt.30 E. xpar~ion at Day Creek, for those reasons mentioned, and recommended that an overpass be built at the Day Creek wildlife corridor to prevent any additional road Idll risks. UnforttJnately, porttics have weighed on the biological needs. Therefore, it is critical that the City and Edison mitigate impacts to the wildlife corridor, per'gel'ably through in situ conservation and avoidance. The cumulative impacts to the Day Creek wildlife corridor have failed to be adequately addressed or mitigated for in the CEQA documents. Our group encourages the C~ and Edison to activley pursue the possibilities of enhancing the Day Creek wildlife corridor by requesting redesign of Rt. 30 to include an overpass that would allow for large mammal movemerit across what is now Highland Ave-. Such sensilive road building activ'fiJes have occurred in other States, such as Florida wfiere the Fk)rida Panther may travel under highways. Any ramanant wildlife corridor that is still utilized ia of significant biological Importance in the West Valley Foothi~ region of San Bernardino, and other similar foothill cities. Wildfires are an expected occuranco in the City of Rancho Cucamonge and adjacent jurisdictions. Many wildlife species must run and fly for their life when such wildfires occur and may find refuge in the remaining wildlife corridors'and habitat patches on the lower reaches of the alluvial fan ecosystem. So whether the City and Edison have failed to recognize the project site as an actively utilized wildlife corrldol', the,'e is no excuse to additionally fall to recognize this site as potentially important rafugie habitat, or a safe harbor, to sustain numerous species while natural reestablishment of their populations take place. The city should not above any Ix(Hecta that result in the further decline of the species and irmrease the "net losses" of the remaining habitat spaciat area. We refer the City and Edison to the published literature of the ranowned conservation biologist, Dr. Reed Nose (Nose, Reed F., 1991a., Nose, R. 1l)91b., Ncas, R.E 1992), and Marble Mourd:ein Audubon v. Traffic Impacts The Sage Council linda the projected population at buildout and in the population of the region is significantly higher than has been disclosed in the EIR. Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 10 year populatmn estimates, in their draft plan, differed by one million for Southern California in 1997. This significant change In population estimates I~as a tremendous effect over the rest of the City's presumptions. In light of the new and significant information regarding population explosion and demographics currently and at build out, the previous erroneous estimates of Average Daily Trips (ADT), at build out and ADT from the Project, need to be recortsldered and corrected. ~4/'15/1998._.16:5S 626?449931 ESA NETWE~RK PAGE 88 City of Rancho CucamongaJMayor & City Council Page Seven The Blockbuster Pavilion, Ontario Mills Mall, and residential development in San Bernardino has caused increased congestion on both the 1-15 and 1-10, and more recently the El Ntno effects on roads In San Diego have furthered congestion and circulation problerr~ throughout the region for those commuters that travel between and within San Diego and Riverside counties. Within the Riverside County area, residential and indust~el developments in Yucalpa, Beaumont, Cherry Valley, and Calirrmsa,aiong with new developments prolxmed and approved in the San Tirnoteo Canyon area (e.g, "Oak Valley" Specific Plan and Phase 1) and to the west of Redlands arid Lama Unda, will increase traffic congestion of the 1-10 Freeway and its a~tedes. It appears that the San Timefag Canyon tRoad will be significantly impacted and consequently will require upgrades of traffic infrastructure along its entire length toward Barton Road and 1-10 at its northwest juncture. Cammurat ADTs on Rt.30, 1-10, and I-t5 are much greeter than revealed In the EIR when the Foottd/t C/f/es approved and proposed projects, from Cucamonga to Beeumont, are at full build out. These effects were not previously addressed or rnltigated for in the CEOA documents,. New legislative and statutory requirements under the Katz Congestion Management Act (CMA) requires the lead agency (City) to adequately address regional transportation issues and for projects to be evaluated with respect to the SCAG Regional Transportation Program, incorporating the most recent SCAG data. It would be prudent for the City to comply with the requirements of the CMA and CEQA to ensure that the EIR is legally defensible. There are changes in the baseline demographics of the region and in baseline estimates that demand a resvaluation of the project and the total ramifications (cumulative impacts). The City, in considering cumulative impacts to air quality, water qusr~ty/hydmlogy, traffic. biological and cultural resources should identify those tentire tracts and proposed projects within the City end regk)n~/oreg/on. Cumulative Impacts The Sage Coundl has compiled a list of locally approved or proposed projects that are known to, or may, effect the remaining RAFSS and other Senfive Habitats or Biota within the City and County. The referenced EIR documents Register failed to p~-ovide an adequate cummulative impacts analysis fo~ biological resguinea, including RAFSS. Therefore, the Ctty is required to reconsider the cumulative impacts analysis and proposed mitigation methods in light of new significant information presented by the Sage Council in this letter, including References. The Sage Council believes that the following data supports our claims that City has not been upholding the "public trust' or implementing adequate conservation measures to pried Callfomia's natural and cultural heritage. Cultural Resguinea Chief Ya'anna, Vera Rocha, of the Shoshone Gabrioting Nation, and Spirit of the Sage Courtall requests to meet with the appropriate agenc~ representatives and project proponents after we have received a written response. The County, Project Proponent, and Service have failed to notify the Shoshone GabrieJno Nation of the proDosed project within their ancestral lerritory that is of cultural significance. The project proponent must take "oral" hisracy from Chief Ys'anna. Vers Rocha, in the cultural resources assessment that is required by CEQA, State Histodc Preservation Act, Native American Heritage Act, end other regulations intended to protect Native Americans and their culture. Including religion. The Service is aware of the need to consult with Chief Ya'anna of the Gabdolings, as the agency hosted a In-Service on this sut~ject matter in lg9~ with Catfomia Indian Legal Services and the Sage Council. Chief Ya'anna Is the State recognized Most Ukely Descendant of the Shoshone "Gabriotings." ConsuP, etlon with the State recognized Tribes and Most Likely Descendant (MLD) in regards to cultural resources (registered or eligible archeotogical sites, ethnobotanlcal resources, prehistoric village site, burial grounds and sacred stte~). The City should require an independent consultant experienced with local tribal matters, archeology, anthropology and ethnobotany to prepare an extensive survey and study, including ~ histgo/of the MLD, to errsure that Important cultural resources are not disturbed, destroyed or removed from the project site inappropriately, The State Historic Preservation Officer must also be consulted and given an opportunity to comment on the Droject EIR. The Sage Council recommends that the City request that all elected tribal representatives, elders, and MLDs identify themselves by showing their individual papers of recogn~on with verified roll numbers and bkx)d decrees from the U.S, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs. The tribal representative and MLD should be more than 1/4 City of Rancho Cucamenga/Mayor & ~ Council Page Eighl "Luiseno" and/or 1/4 "Gabdelino." Native American Organizations, such as the Inland Empire Native American Commission, do not have the legal authority to select a tribal representetNa or speak on bshatf of an effected California Tribe or Band. Non~proftt organizations and comrni~sions may provide advise. However, Spirit of the Sage Council is a non-profit conservation project that was co-founded by Chief Ye'Anna Vera Rocha, the State Recognized MLD for the Shoehone "Gabde#nos." Therefore. lhe City may relay upon ttte Sage Councirs comments and objectlofts as those voiced In agreement by the "Gebriellno" MLD. The City and project proponent must comply with the State Native American HerEage Act (NAI-~A), Histodc Preservation Act, Antiquities Act, American Indian Rer~ious Freedom ACt, Graves and Repatriation ACt, and other applicable Cedee, Regulations and Executive Orders that protect cultural resources and the dghts of indigenous peop~ or minortries. The County completely failed to consult with the appropriate GabHelino MLD, Chief Ya'Anna, Vera Rocha, did not take an "oral history" of the subject lands, did not adequately circulate the Project EIR for review and comment, did no{ provide an adequate cultural resources assessment or mitigation and monitoring of impacts. Therefore, the City as a repor~bte agency must take appropriate COlTactive actio13s by preparing a subsequent EIR to provide en accurate Cullural Resources a~sessment (surveys and studies) and mitigation. Significant Data Not Previously Considered or Changed Circumstances The Sage Council betlaves that there is significant data not previously considered and/or substantial "changed circumstances' requinng a second look;, EIR addendum or subsequent EIR, pursuant Section 21166 of CEQA and Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Such substantial changes in the environment, demographics. traffic, cultural resources, water etc. were not adequately addressed in the Dralt and Final EIR or the Mitigation and Monlto~ng Plan. The C.~ty, County, CDFG and FWS are "responsible" permitting agencies that have the authori~ to Is~ue an estoppel on the Edison Project and deny the proposed General Plan amendments. It is our understanding that ff the City refuses to require the project apptment/Edison to prepare and circulate a subsequent EIR, then the Count,/and/or CDFG must prepare and submit the CEQA document according to CEQA Guidelines Section 150~(e)... "If a Respor~sible Agency believes that the final EIR or Negative Declaration prepa~'ed by the Lead Agency is not adequate for use by the Responsible Agency, the Responsible Agency must either: ... (3) Prepare a subsequent EIR if permissible under Section 15162" Since Section 1,5162 (substantial changes in circumstances) requires a new CEQA document, then Section 15096(e)(3) provides authority for CDFG, as the Responsible Agency to prepare this document. It ~s no{ clear whether CDFG can pass along the costs of document preparation and circulation on to the City and/or Developer. Howevec Section 15162(c) provides: "if the project was approved pn'or to the occurrence of the conditions described in subsection (a), the subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration shall be prepared by the pubitc agency which grants the next discretionary approval for the project." (emphesi~ eddea'). Therefore, if County, CDFG, or FWS is the !~blic agency granting the next discretionary approval for the project, then CDFG may be required to prepare the appropriate CEQA document if in its opinion, the existing CEQA document is inadequate. However, the City and City Afromay should note that the project was not approved !)rior to the occurance of the new conditions or data. The Sage Council contends that the City has the responslbillty and opportunity to require the project proponent to prepare a subsequent EIR to fulfilt its agency duties to conserve natural resources held in public bust, or to protect the rural erwlronment and open space for the Citizens. Whether the City and County must undergo CDFG consultation for CESA take authorizations (Fish and Game Code Section 2081) end Streambed Alteration Agreements (Fish and Game Code Section 1603) after local Project and General Plan amendments appears questionable 13roceduraity It would make logical sense that such consultation would ~- q ~4/15/1998 16:55 ~267449_31 ESA NETWORK PAGE 10 City of Rancho Cucamonga/Mayor & Clt~ Council Page Nine occur ptfor to local ix'oject approval and adoption of documents. Therefore, Mitigation and Monitoring Plans, pursuant AB 3180, would be considered adequate by a// responsible public agencies. A similar process must take place between the City, County, COFG and FWS to comply with the sec~on 4(d) Special RuIe/NCCP, Sectiort 10(a)/HCP, arid Section 7 respectfully. Trte Sage Council contends that CEQA does not let the local responsible agency "off the hook" for their failure to require e subsequent or atomended EIR. Perhaps more importantly to the public or public trust natural resource~ and lands, CEQA distributes the responsibility of compliance between all re~pons/b/e pubic trust agencies (local, state, and federal) to ensure envimnrnelltal protection. Hence, the Sage Council may bring legal action against ell responsible agencies for their failure to ensure the conservation of listed and unlisted species of concern that are rare, threatened, or endangered, including their essential habitat. (see also ~mlth v_,.County of Santa Barbara, 7 Cal. AI~. 4th 770) General Plan Amendment The City's approval and adoption of the FEIR and General Plan amendments Is not in cornDliance with all of the requirements of Government Code Section e5452 generally, but more spec~calty Sec. 65452(c). In addition, such adoption and approvals, through Resolutloft end Ordinances or otherwise, are not consistent with Governmane Code Section 65457 because there are "substantial changes tn the circumatanoes under which the project is being undertaken, end new available information." The Sage Council also believes that there may be procedural violations of Government Code Section 65450 where the City is amending the General Plan to be consistent wffh the Project, rather than requiring amendments to the Project a to ensure consistency with the City's current General Plan. Is the City going to amend the General Plan everytime a new project or project exparmion is proposed? Or is preferential treatment and expedited service being given to Edison? Range of Altemati~ls & Environmentally Superior Alternative The FEIR fails to provide a full range of Altematives, Environmentally Superior Alternative, or an analysis that may substantuate Edison's and the City's conclusions. The cumulative and collateral effects on the environment should also have been addressed in the FEIR documents In order to adequately mitigate adverse impacts. The City should not rely upon an adoption of 'Overriding Circumstances" without an adequate analysis or range of alternatives to the project, or all the surveys and studies performed pt/or to approving the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan. The City has not required Edison to lessen significant and curr~lative impacts through a project redesign or other appropriate measures that might have been included with a full range of project AItemnatives as an acceptable "Environmentally Superior" alternative. The City has also failed to assess the ;~ssible costs associated with future mitigation requirements for project effects on listed species and impacts to habitat in relation to acquisition of lands that are 'vested" versa unvested. While the Sage Council could st~oport a No Proiect sitemauve, we would prefer to have the choice of an "Environmentally Superior ARemaUve" to the proposed project effects4 The City should prepare a "Resource Conservation Management Plan" (e_g. City of Rancho-Cucamonga RMP) to exp/ore acquisition of the project site or Re- zorfing to protect public trust natural resources. Thus, the proposed project would be required to comply with the City's adopted RMP, CDFG end USFWS NCCP Conservation and Process Guidelines, and other applicable State and federal regulations. tt is our understanding that the Presidents Budget for Interior includes funding for endangered species habitat acquisition. The acquisition of RAFSS habitat is a high priority within the FWS and CDFG. Therefore, in situ conservation of the remaining habitat area on the p~oject site could most likely occur through coordinated agerr,,-'y actions. We strongly encourage the City to take such positive leadership steps to uphold the public trust. Mitigation of Impacts & Mitigation Monitoring Plan (AB 3160) We remind the City that the creation of environmental documents and surveys do not provide for m'~Tet/on of adverse environmarital impacts, but ale to be used to substantuate conclusions that the proposed ruination measures are adequate. The City should require a subsequent EIR, including acceptable mitigation of the projects effects on the listed species and "threatened" habitat impacts (amended Mitigation and Monitoring Plan) that is scientificairy defensible and a~oproved by CDFG and FWS experts, thus legally defensible. Of course, the costs of cremation and distribution of the subsequent EIR should be home by Edison. In conclusion. while the following issues and concerns were raised during the public comment period on the draft EIR it would appear that they were not adequately addressed or resolved In the FEIR. City of Rancho Cucamonga/Mayor & City Council Page Ten N~w Listing & Relevant Scientific DMa Not Previously ConsMered The emergency listing of the San Bernardino kangaroo-rat (SBKR) was not addressed in the draft and FEIR. Thus, significant new scientific information and data wa~ not considered or addressed, in violation of CEQA ar~l the ESA, In addition, it appears that small mamammal trappings were no~ adequately performed utilizing the best scientiftc rnsthed~ available, and such information was not made available for public review and comment. Therefore, a Subsequent EiR is required. In closing, the Sage Council once again requests that the City Council reconsider the referenced t3ropesale and CEQA documents for the public benefit, and to insure regulatory compliance. Natures ecology is best for the local ecomom/ (Costanza, R., and C. Folks, 1994). Please enter this letter into the C~y's administrative record for this project arid proposed Gerleral Plan amendmerits. Please include the Sage Council on your mailing and distribution listed for this project or project area, and o~hers, in your City and County jurisdictions that may effect RAFFS and sensitive species. We would appreciate the 0Pl)ortunlty to review and comment on pmjecls that effect public trust natural resources and lands, In a timely manner. Because Sage Council provides a public benefit service and receNes a non-p~fit organization (project) tax axeminion, we request met the ~ and County provide such environmental documents wfthout charge.

As you are aware, the Department, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and others, are very concerned about continued losses of sensitive habitats tocated in the City of Rancho Cucamonga and neighboring areas. Habitats of particular concern include Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, (state-ranked S1.1 rated, very threatened natural community), Alluvial Chaparral, Riversidean Coastal Sage Scrub (state-ranked S2.1, very threatened), and vadous ripadan communities. Conversion of ruderal grasslands and areas of past agricultural use to urban uses is also a concem. These habitats support an array of sens'rUve plant and animal species. Federally listed animals known to occupy these areas include the threatened Califomia gnatcatcher (federally listed on 3/30/93), endangered San Bernardino Merriam's kangaroo rat (emergency listed on 01/27/98), and endangered least fieIfs vireo (federally listed 5/2/86; state listed 10/2/80). As many as twenty-five sensitive species of plants and animals, may occur in these habitats. Sens'~ve rodent and reptile species also occur in ruderal grassland and agricultural areas, and these sites are important foraging and nesting areas for numerous raptom and rare species of bats. Where dparian and aquatic habitats are found sensitive/listed species of dpadan birds and amphibians may be present. 04/15/1998 15:55 6267449931 ESA NETWORK PAGE i3 Mr. Brad Buller April 2, 1998 Page Two These listed and/or sensitive species generally meet the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) definitions of rare and endangered species. CEQA Guidelines, § 15380 requires that impacts to these species be addressed in an environmental document and significant impacts to them be mitigated. Further, where a project may have a significant impact on such species and habitats by reducing their numbers or range, CEQA Guidelines, § 15065 Mandatory Finding of Significance requires preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Department is very concerned about continued, unmitigated losses of these habitats and sensitNe species populations. We are particularly concerned about projects going fortyard without current biological surveys and adequate CEQA compliance. On several recent occasions, projects that have been dormant for a number of years are now going forward utilizing old CEQA documentation, including Negative Declarations. Generally, reliance upon the use of environmental approvals more than five years old raise serious questions regarding their adequacy and compliance with CEQA requirements. It is important to note that biological survey information is generally only valid for a three year pedod at the maximum. Changes in habitat conditions, site use, and species listing status are common. Additionally, several large preserves in the North Etiwanda area have been established over the last few years, and protection of habitat connectivity and wildlife movement between these areas is currently a crffical planning Issue. The Department often finds that these older environmental documents do not adequately address current biological resource concerns and fail to address cumulative impacts to these resources. For approved projects more than three years old, the Department advises the City of Rancho Cucamonga that substantial changes have occurred with respect to biological resource values in many of the undeveloped portions of the City's sphere. CEQA Guidelines, §15162 directs that the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent environmental document, where new information of substantial importance comes to light that indicates: a) one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration could occur;, b) substantially impacts are more severe than previously shown; or c) mitig~ion measures or alternatives different from those previously analyzed would substantially r~luce impacts. These changed conditions also create additional CEQA compliance responsibilities for the Departr~ ant. CEQA Guidelines, §15381 states that ~...the term "responsible agency" includeS all public agencies other than the lead agency which have discretionary approval power over the project." The Department, therefore, is a responsible agency where a project requires issuance of a Streambed Alteration Agreement (Fish and Game Code §1603) or a California Endangered Species Act 04/15/1998 16:55 62674~9~31 ESA NETWORK PAGE Mr. Brad Buller April 2, 1998 Page Three Permit (Fish and Game Code § 2081). Consequently, the Department may be required, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15096(e), to prepare a subsequent environmental document where the Lead Agency does not preepare one. it is important to note that the City of Rancho Cucamo~ga is, signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding for development of the San Bernardino Valley-wide Multispecies Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), Unfortunately, progress toward development of this plan has been slow. This planning effort provides for interim review of projects and requires evaluation of cumulative impacts to species and their habitats. The recent need for emergency listing of the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service occurred, in part, due to continued habitat loss and a number of CEQA projects which are imminently close to approval and do not currently have adequate project mitigation. If the MSHCP effort is to be successful, and if we are to avoid the need for future species listings, it is critical that we have sufficient flexibility to develop a meaningful conservation strategy and effective reserve system. As piecemeal development projects eliminate more habitat and remaining areas are fragmented, it may become difficult to achieve this goat, therefore, we ask for your support in implementing the afore-mentioned measures for projects that are more than three years old. The Department is available to work with the City to ensure that projects comply with CEQA, CESA and Fish and Game Code § 1603 and to develop appropriate mitigation for any impacts to the biological resources. We are also available to assist in ensuring that any issues pertaining to the older proposed projects are incorporated into the MSHCP effort where appropriate. The Department recommends that the City contact us to set up a meeting as action resumes on the older projects. We request that you provide us with a few weeks notice so as to coordinate the appropriate Department staff that needs to participate in the meeting. The Department appreciates the effort the City has shown in looking at interim project planning issues. Your support in moving ahead on the valley-wide MSHCP is important.

However, we remain concerned with unmitigated losses of Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, Coastal Sage Scrub and mdexal habitats w~_hin the City of Rancho Cucamonga as proposed here. - These general conc,~xrts are addressed in related comments from the Department attached here which were rec~tly sent to your office in response to our ongoing dialogue regarding conservation platming and development issues in this area (see letter dated AIn/1 2, 1998). We also share the concerns raised by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) letter on the above project, dated December 23, 1997. The response in the FEIR to the USFWS comments dismiss tho significm. nce of habitat losses from this project. It should be noted that although the habitat ohsire may be disturbed, recent studies on the Etiwanda alluvial fan indicate that these habitats respond and recover from past disturbance events given adequate time. Many sites throughout southern California have experienced past disturbance events such as fire, 04/1371998 18:19 @05B408019 MMEYER PAGE 02 Page Two clearing and flooding, but ewmtuatly recover. In contrast, urban development will permanemly eliminate habitat values in the area and any potential recovery. While listed species of plants and amanaIs were not identified ohsire during project surveys, numerous other sensitive plant and wildlife species are likely to occur in the area, and impacts to these species and their habitat are significant and comribute to cumulative habitat losses in the region. The response to the USFWS in the Final EIR recognizes the cumulative impact of habitat loss, yet no mitigation is proposed Cumulative impacts are particularly important to address because the geographic extent of these habitats is so limited. When recently approved past, present and future projects are considered together, little habitat will remain unless cumulative losses are addressed and mitigated. This can be achieved through a combined effort of impact avoidance and compensation for unavoidable impacts through protection of habitat in key areas. The Department is completing a conservation plan for the Day Canyon/Efiwanda alluvial fan that we hope will be available for distribution to your city in the very near future. This conservation plan, developed by the California Polytechnic Institute at Pomona, is intended to serve as a guide for lead agencies and resource managers to increase our understanding of there habitats and to assist in mifig~..t/on .and land use planning. The existing North Eftwanda habitat preserve is only one of several key publically owned parcels on the north fan, and the cominued viability of these areas depends upon preserving representalive stands of Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub, Coastal Sage Scrub and Alluvial Chaparral throughore the remaining habitat areas in the Rancho Cucamonga Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding these comments, and if you need further assistence i.n developing mitigation strategies for this, and other, upcoming projects, attachment Scott Eliason, USFWS Liam Davis, NCCP, CDFG Sincerely, Mary E' E'~.

Mey~ ~' ~u~ O-~ Plant Ecologist, Natural Heritage Division REVISED CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF -REPORT DATE: April I5, 1998 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, Citiy Manager FROM: BY: Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager/Acting Community Services Paula Pachon, Management Analyst II 9'~' SUBJECT: Approval of Contract and Appropriation of Funds for Display of Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the contract for the display of the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall to be display in Rancho Cucamonga on October 23- 29, 1998 and appropriate $3,000 for FY1997/1998 expenses (account number 01-4532-6028). BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: As Council is aware, the Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 8680 and the City of Rancho Cucamonga ~ubmitted an application to bring the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall to the City of Rancho Cucamonga back in 1996. Staff and the VFW have been working to secure a date for this profoundly,,moving exhibit to be displayed in our community. We are pleased to inform the Council that staff has recently been notified that Rancho Cucamonga has been scheduled to display the moving wall between October 23-29, 1998. The Memorial is made up of many panels which vary in height from three feet to six feet. Each panel weight approximately 40-48 pounds. The wall pieces are fit into a 'U' frame and then are staked to the ground. The minimum area required for the wall structure is 220 feet by 64 feet. The Epicenter soccer fields have been identified as an ideal location for the display of the Memorial due to the abundance of parking available at the site and the size of the fields. Community Services and Engineering staff and the VFW Post 8680 are working together to coordinate the display of the Memorial in our community. It is estimated that total expenses (FY 1997/1998 and FY 1998/1999) for this event will total approximately $8,000. Staff is requesting that City Council appropriate $3,000 in the current fiscal year budget for the deposit to secure the dates for our exhibit. Staff has included as part of the Community Services Department's budget request for fiscal year 1998/1999 the remaining $5,000 for event expenses. k,~)eputy City Manager/Acting Commun'ty Services Director JF/PP/pp
