A. RECITALS. 1. O & S Holdings, LLC, filed an application for General Plan Amendment GPA2002-00002, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Code Amendment is referred to as "the application." Subsequent to filing, O & S Holdings, LLC assigned its interest in the application to Foothill Crossing, LLC. 2. On August 27, and continued to September 10, and September 24, 2003, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date and recommended approval of the application. 3. On October 15, 2003, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 4. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. RESOLUTION. NOW,THEREFORE,it is herebyfound,determined,and resolved bythe City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on October 15, 2003, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, approximately 530 feet west of the 1-15 Freeway on-ramp,with a street frontage of approximately 1,300 feet and a lot depth of 1,700 feet, which is presently unimproved; and Resolution No. 03-263 Page 2 of 5 b. The property to the north of the subject site, on the north side of Foothill P P Y 1 Boulevard, is undeveloped and is zoned for commercial uses,the propertyto the south consists of the 1-15 freeway, the property to the east is undeveloped and is planned for commercial uses, and the property to the west is an electrical and flood control utility corridor and is being used for plant nursery storage; and c. This amendment promotes the goals and objectives of the Transportation Section of the General Plan by continuing to designate Day Creek Boulevard as a Collector Road on the Circulation Plan; and d. This amendment would not be m aterially i njurious o r d etrimental to t he adjacent properties, and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed roadway classification is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in terms of access,size, and compatibility with existing land use in the surrounding area; and b. The proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties; and c. The proposed amendment is in conformance with t he G eneral P[an a s Collector roads are identified and listed within the Transportation Section. 4. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified October 17, 2001, as the Final EIR for the 2001 City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act Section 15166 provide that when a Program EIR has been certified, subsequent activities in the program must be examined in light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared. If the agency finds that no new effects could occur or no new mitigation measures would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the program EIR. Because the applicant has proposed modifications to the Master Plan Circulation System, an Addendum to the 2001 General Plan Final EIR was prepared, and all feasible mitigation measures developed in the Program EIR have been incorporated into the project design. An addendum to the 2001 General Plan Final EIR is appropriate documentation because some changes or additions are necessary to describe the modification to the Master Plan Circulation System, but none of the conditions described in California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The City Council has reviewed and considered the attached addendum based on the following findings: Resolution No. 03-263 Page 3 of 5 a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions to the previous E IR because of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in severity of previously identified environmental effects; and b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, which will require major revisions to the previous EIR because of the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and c. There is no new information of substantial importance,which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: 1) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; 2)significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; 3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible,and would substantially reduce one or more effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or 4) mitigation measures or alternatives, which are considerably different from those analyzed in the final EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment GPA2002- 00002, to change the General Plan Land Circulation Plan, Exhibit III-4 to designate Day Creek Boulevard as a Modified Collector with median for approximately 750 feet south of the Foothill Boulevard right-of-way, and a Collector for the remainder of the street to its intersection with Rochester Avenue, and add (in bold print) to General Plan Table III-11 as shown below: Exhibit III-4 (showing southeast portion of map only) Widened intersectionsshp �i Freeway-interchange.shp 0 Proposed-freeway-interchange ship FOOTHILL BLVD.
