B. RESOLUTION.
NOW,THEREFORE,it is hereby found,determined,and resolved by the 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 facts and information contained in the record of this Project, the
City Council makes the following findings and statements, and takes the
following actions, pursuant to the California Environmental QualityAct("CEQA")
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq.):
a. The City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, prepared the
Draft Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Project, including certain
technical appendices (the "Appendices") to the Draft EIR (State
Clearinghouse No. 2003081085). The Draft EIR was circulated for a 45-day
public review and comment period from December 5, 2003 through January
28, 2004. Comments were received during that period and written
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 3 of 42
responses were prepared and sent to all persons and entities submitting
comments. Those comments and the responses thereto have been included
in the Final EIR,as well as the revisions to the Draft EIR. Those documents,
together with the Draft EIR and Appendices, comprise the Final EIR.
b. The City Council finds that the Final EIR was completed pursuant to CEQA,
and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, 14 California Code of
Regulations, Section 15000, et. seq. ("the Guidelines"). By Resolution No.
04-240, the City Council has certified the Final EIR as being in compliance
with the requirements of CEQA.
c. The City Council finds that the Final EIR was presented to the City Council
and that the City Council reviewed and considered the information in the
Final EIR and has reached its own conclusions with respect to the Project
and as to whether and how to approve the various components of the project
approvals.
d. The City Council finds that the Final EIR represents the independent
judgment of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and
adequately addresses the impacts of the Project and imposes appropriate
mitigation measures for the Project.
e. Public Resources Code Section 21081 provides that no public agency shall
approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact report has
been completed which identifies one or more significant environmental
effects unless the public agency makes one or more of the following findings
with respect to each significant effect:
L Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the
project, which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects
thereof as identified in the completed environmental impact report.
ii. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction
of another public agency and such changes have been adopted by such
agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency.
iii. Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the
mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental
impact report.
f. The City Council finds, based upon the Final EIR, public comments, public
agency comments, and the entire record before it, that the Project may
create significant impacts in the areas of Earth Resources, Water
Resources, Transportation/Circulation, Air Quality, Biological Resources,
Hazards, Noise, Public Services, Utilities, Aesthetics, and Cultural
Resources. However, changes or alterations have been required in, or
incorporated into the Project, which will mitigate and in some cases, avoid
the significant impacts. The specific changes and alterations required,and a
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 4 of 42
brief explanation of the rationale for the findings with regard to each impact,
are contained in the"CEQA Findings"for the Project (Exhibit 7"to the July
21,2004 City Council Staff Report)and are incorporated herein by reference.
In addition to the rationale and explanation contained in the "CEQA
Findings,"the City Council makes the following additional findings regarding
the impacts of the Project on the resources and services listed in this
paragraph:
L Earth Resources. The Final EIR finds that development of the Project
would expose people and structures to risks associated with seismic
ground shaking produced by numerous regional faults. Additionally,
development of the project would require removal of vegetation to
prepare for grading;this would create a short-term increased potential for
topsoil erosion. Potential erosion in the long-term would result from
increased surface runoff rates due to road paving and construction of
impermeable structures. Mitigation measures are imposed which require
a detailed geologic and geotechnical investigation for each lot prior to the
grading of the Project site. Specifically,the developer must:demonstrate
that each lot is buildable and complies with recommendations and
specifications found in the geotechnical investigation report included in
Appendix C of the Final EIR (Mitigation Measure 3-1); identify potential
geologic and soil limitations and recommend appropriate engineering
and design measures to adequately protect structures and inhabitants
(Mitigation Measure 3-2); and identify these construction measures on
applicable grading plans, and implement them to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer. Further, mitigation measures are imposed on the project
that require preparation and approval of a Dust Control Plan and a
Landscape and Irrigation Plan to reduce the likelihood of erosion
(Mitigation Measures 3-4 and 3-5). Based on these mitigation measures,
and the additional ones contained in the Final EIR,the City Council finds
that the effects of seismic shaking on persons and structures and the
possibility of erosion will be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
ii. Water Resources. The Final EIR identifies that conversion of the
Project site to urban uses would increase the amount of sediment,
suspended debris, landscape maintenance or associated chemicals
(e.g., fertilizers, herbicides, etc.), and materials related to automotive
wear (e.g., tire rubber, oil, antifreeze, etc.) that would reach the local
drainage system due to run-off caused by grading or by being washed off
streets during storm events or street-sweeping activities. Mitigation
measures imposed on the applicant would require the Project developer
to apply for and receive a National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit and, if necessary, to obtain Clean Water Act
Section 401 and 404 permits (for water quality certification for dredge
and fill operations); additionally, the developer will be required to
implement all applicable Best Management Practices (BMPs)to prevent
construction of the Project from polluting surface and ground waters.
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 5 of 42
The City Council finds that implementation of this mitigation measure will
mitigate impacts on water quality to a level of less than insignificant.
Additionally, the Final EIR identifies that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has identified the Project site as within a
flood zone designated "Flood Zone D." Mitigation measures will require
the developer to install a revetment along the East Etiwanda Channel
adjacent to the Project site, and implement on- and off-site drainage
system improvements outlined in the Project Drainage Study(Appendix
D of the draft EIR). The City Council finds that the revetment and
drainage improvements will reduce flood impacts associated with the
Project to a level of less than significant.
iii. Transportation and Circulation. The Final EIR indicates that the
proposed Project would increase vehicle trips and impact the level of
service along arterial streets and intersections;specifically,the Project is
anticipated to generate a total of 2,956 daily vehicle trips at build-out.
Further, it is assumed that at build-out 68 percent of the Project traffic
would enter/exit the site along Etiwanda Avenue,while 32 percent would
use East Avenue; this distribution would cause some roads to be more
intensely affected than others. Additionally,the Final EIR found that the
level of service at the intersection of Etiwanda and Highland Avenues
could be reduced to a"D"level during the morning peak hour at full build-
out. Mitigation Measures are imposed to require the developer to
contribute a fair share to the traffic signal mitigation program of the
County of San Bernardino and/or the City of Rancho Cucamonga to help
fund the construction of traffic signals at the intersections of: Day Creek
Boulevard/Banyan Avenue; Day Creek Boulevard/SR-210 West-bound
ramp; Day Creek Boulevard/SR 210 East-bound ramp; Etiwanda
Avenue/Banyan Avenue; Etiwanda Avenue/Wilson Avenue; and East
Avenue/Banyan Avenue. Further,the developer will be required to pay
"fair share"contribution towards off-site impacts to linked roadways and
intersections as outlined in the Project traffic report; this "fair share"
amount is approximately$63,818 as of the date of the traffic study. The
City Council finds that based on these mitigation measures,traffic at the
study intersections will be reduced to operate at a level of service of D or
better (with all but one intersection operating at level of service C or
better)and that the impacts of the Project on Traffic and Circulation will
be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
iv. Air Quality. The Final EIR identifies that the Project may create
significant and unavoidable impacts on Air Quality. Specifically,the Final
EIR identifies that emissions from construction-related activities are likely
to exceed the threshold of significance specified by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District(SCAQMD). These impacts are short-term
and can cause nuisance impacts to adjacent land uses in the local area
by way of fugitive dust produced by grading of the site. In addition,
construction-related emissions, particularly from architectural coatings
(painting) and off-road diesel equipment, are anticipated to produce
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 6 of 42
significant levels of reactive organic compounds (ROC) and nitrogen
oxides (NO„)that would exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance and
result in significant short-term air pollution impacts. Comprehensive
mitigation measures(Mitigation Measures 6-1 -6-10)are imposed on the
Project which will require various dust control measures,emission control
measures, and off-site actions. Included in those measures are
requirements to ensure that all construction equipment is properly
serviced and maintained and that trucks are not left idling for prolonged
periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes), reestablishment of ground cover
through seeding and watering, phased grading to prevent the
susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time,
suspension of grading operations during periods of high wind (i.e., wind
speeds exceeding 25 mph), and regular washing and sweeping of the
site. The Final EIR also indicates that the Project would produce long-
term impacts on Air Quality as a result of the additional external vehicle
trips that will be generated, and their attendant production of NO, and
PM10 in excess of SCAQMD standards. Further, secondary impact
potential would derive from energy consumption by on-site residential
heaters, stoves, water heaters, and similar consumptive appliances.
Mitigation measures imposed on the Project to reduce long-term impacts
include requiring the developer to demonstrate that all residential
structures have incorporated high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air
conditioning, appliances, and water heaters (Mitigation Measure 6-11),
and that all residential structures have incorporated thermal pane
windows and weather-stripping (Mitigation Measure 6-12). Further, the
developerwill be required to make a fair share contribution to a"park and
ride” facility along the 1-15 or 1-10 freeways, as well as construct a bus
stop/shelter at the trailhead park, if directed by OmniTrans. The City
Council finds that with the implementation of the recommended
mitigation measures directed at both short- and long-term impacts,
emissions will be reduced and the Project's contribution to regional
emission of criterial pollutants will be minimized. However, the City
Council finds that despite the imposition of all of these comprehensive
mitigation requirements, the Project will produce significant short- and
long-term impacts on Air Quality due to emissions, and that these
impacts will remain significant after mitigation.
v. Biological Resources. The Final EIR indicates that, prior to the Grand
Prix fire in October 2003, the Project site contained approximately 109
acres of sage scrub (including white sage), along with California
buckwheat, California filago, valley lessingia, popcorn flower, and
common phacelia; the Project will eliminate this vegetation through
development of the area. Further, the Project will impact sensitive plant
species present on the site (as determined before the 2003 wildfire)
including Plummer's mariposa lily, Pious daisy, and four separate types
of spineflowers (Ramona, prostrate, California, and Parry's).
Development of the site will also impact wildlife corridors and will remove
habitat that supports a number of sensitive species that were either
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 7 of 42
observed onsite or have a moderate to high potential to occur onsite,
including the sharp-shinned hawk, Southern California rufous-crowned
sparrow, red-shouldered hawk, white-tailed kite, northern harrier,
Cooper's hawk, San Diego horned lizard, and orange-throated whiptail.
The Final EIR indicated that the California gnatcatcher(a federally listed
threatened species) has not been observed on-site and has a low
probability of occurring on the site due to the type of vegetation present.
Also, the Final EIR found that while a portion of the Project site (the
Etiwanda Creek channel)is within the historical range of the endangered
San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat (SBKR), since the creek channel is not
proposed for development,the Projectwill not cause direct impacts to the
SBKR. The Final EIR further found that development of the site will
remove 0.48 acres of land in four small drainages that are under Army
Corps of Engineers (ACOE)jurisdiction, but that none of these areas is
considered a wetland. The Final EIR found that the Project is not
consistent with the goals of the North Etiwanda Open Space and Habitat
Preservation Program (NEOSHPP)since it does not include any on-site
preservation of open space lands. Mitigation measures have been
imposed on the project to require the Project developer to acquire and
convey to the County approximately 164 acres of land as off-site
mitigation land. This 164-acre area is intended to accomplish a 1:5 to 1
ratio to mitigate for the loss of the approximately 109 acres of sage scrub
and to mitigate the potential loss of habitat for sensitive plants and
animal species. The City finds that the recommended mitigation
measures will help reduce potentially significant impacts regarding the
loss of habitat, but that the impacts will remain significant after mitigation.
vi. Hazards. The Final EIR identifies that the Project would expose people
and structures to potential hazards due to the possibility of hazardous
materials spills on nearby state highways, and due to the minor use of
chemicals and other materials typical of suburban uses. Additionally,the
Project would expose more people and structures to potential wildfire
hazards, and would expose more people to potentially dangerous
wildlife/human encounters. Mitigation measures imposed will require
submission of a plan detailing proper clean-up efforts for any hazardous
or toxic substance that is discovered or released during construction
(Mitigation Measure 9-1); development of fuel modification zones, and
the requirement of "firewise" landscaping and the use of fire-resistant
building materials to reduce fire hazards(Mitigation Measures 9-2-9-4);
and the posting of signs warning of the potential risk of wildlife/human
interactions on the site (Mitigation Measure 9-8). The City Council finds
that after implementation of these measures, potentially significant
impacts relating to Hazards will be reduced to a level of less than
significant.
vii. Noise. The Final EIR identifies the likelihood of short-term impacts on
ambient noise levels during construction of the Project. The primary
source of construction noise is heavy equipment associated with
construction activities; earth-moving equipment is anticipated to create
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 8 of 42
noise up to 90-dB. A mitigation measure has been imposed that will
require the construction contractors to adhere to the City's Development
Code for hours of construction activity—6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday
through Saturday, with no construction to take place on Sundays or
holidays (Mitigation Measure 10-2). Based on this mitigation measure,
the City Council finds that the short term noise impacts from the Project
will be reduced to less than significant levels. The Final EIR also
identified that noise levels would increase in the long-term due to
additional motor vehicle noise and from general human activity. In the
opening year(2005), noise levels at fifty feet from the centerline of area
roadways would range from a low of 58.1 CNEL along Wilson Avenue
east of Etiwanda Avenue to a high of 78.3 CNEL along Highland Avenue
east of Etiwanda Avenue. A mitigation measure will be imposed to
require the developer to document that exterior residential areas will
have exterior noise levels of less than 65 dB CNEL (Mitigation Measure
10-5), and that interior living area noise levels are less than 45 dB CNEL
(Mitigation Measure 10-6). Further, the developer will be required to
incorporate site designs and measures to help reduce proposed noise
levels over the long-term. The City Council finds that based on these
mitigation measures,the potential noise impacts of the Project on current
and future residents will be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
viii. Public Services. The Final EIR identifies that due to population
increases associated with the Project, the proposed Project would
incrementally increase the need for public services in the areas of fire
protection, police protection, schools, libraries, medical services, and
roads. A mitigation measure is imposed to require the developer to pay
all legally established public service fees, including police, fire, schools,
parks,and library fees(Mitigation Measure 11-1). Additionally, in order to
reduce the number of fire incidents requiring response by the City's Fire
Department, the project developer would be required to obtain approval
from the Fire Department with regard to adequate fire flow and
installation of acceptable fire-resistant structural materials in project
buildings (Mitigation Measure 11-3). Additionally, the developer will be
required to post a bond in an amount sufficient to ensure installation and
maintenance of public and private roads, and drainage facilities
necessary for each phase of the project(Mitigation Measure 11-5). The
City Council finds that the imposition and implementation of these
mitigation measures will mitigate the Project's impacts on Public Services
to a level of less than significant.
ix. Utilities. The Final EIR identifies thatthe Projectwould create potentially
significant impacts as a result of new residential water requirements of
approximately 602,819 gallons of water per day; this water would be
provided from an existing two million gallon water reservoir via an
existing water main, however, as growth continues in the Project area,
additional offsite water storage facilities would be required. Further, the
Final EIR indicates that based on an estimate of 270 gallons of
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 9 of 42
wastewater per unit per day being produced, the Project would require
construction of a sewer main to transport the wastewater to an existing
sewage treatment plant. Additionally, the Project would generate the
need for increased electricity, natural gas, and telephone and television
cables, and would increase the amount of solid waste produced. A
mitigation measure imposed requires the contribution of funds for sewer
service (Mitigation Measure 12-1). Further mitigation measures require
submission of development plans to Southern California Edison,the Gas
Company, and Verizon in order to facilitate engineering design and
construction of improvements necessary to provide electrical, natural
gas, and telephone service to the Project; these companies must also
provide"will-serve"letters in order for building permits to issue. The City
Council finds that imposition of these mitigation measures will reduce the
impacts of the Project on Utilities to a level of less than significant.
x. Aesthetics. The Final EIR identifies that the Project may create
significant and unavoidable impacts on Aesthetics. In the short-term,the
landscape would be altered by grading and clearing, and views of the
Project site would include the heavy construction equipment and
machinery used to prepare the Project site for construction of new
homes. Long-term impacts would occur due to a fundamental change in
the visual and aesthetic character of the area, and would transform the
existing natural terrain into a developed and planned community.
Additionally, the presence of homes would mean more lighting at night,
as well as increased glare due to additional windows in the community.
Mitigation measures will require that outdoor lighting comply with the
requirements of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan design guidelines and
the City's General Plan (Mitigation Measure 13-1), and that a detailed
landscaping and wall treatment plan be prepared (Mitigation Measure 13-
5). Even with the imposition and implementation of these and other
mitigation measures, the City Council finds that the impact of the Project
on Aesthetics will remain significant after mitigation.
xi. Cultural Resources. The Final EIR identifies that while the existence of
paleontological resources is unlikely on the Project site, such resources
may be discovered during construction of the Project. Also, one historic
archeological site was previously recorded on the property, CA-SBR-
3131 H. This prior survey found what appeared to be the remains of a
construction camp used by the Etiwanda Water Company in the 1880s;
the structure consisted of rock walls, hand-forged metal barrel hoops and
nails, barbed wire, and glass fragments. Mitigation measures imposed
require that a qualified paleontologist conduct a preconstruction field
survey of the Project site and submit a report of findings and specific
recommendations for further mitigation measures (Mitigation Measure
14-1). Should any prehistoric archaeological resources be found before
or during grading,a qualified archaeologist would be retained to monitor
construction activities, and take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve the resources. The City Council finds that with the
implementation of these mitigation measures,the Project will have a less
than significant impact on paleontological,archaeological,and historical
resources.
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 10 of 42
xii. Cumulative Impacts — Air Quality, Biological Resources, and
Aesthetics. The Final EIR provides that this Project, together with the
construction of other development projects in the vicinity, would create
cumulative short-term impacts to air quality during construction. This
Project would also create a significant cumulative impact to regional air
quality due to additional vehicle emissions adding incremental pollutants
within the South Coast Air Basin. With respect to biological resources,
the Final EIR concluded that the Project would contribute to cumulatively
considerable biological impacts with loss of habitat and restriction of
wildlife movement in the fan area due to encroachment of human
structures and activities. With respect to aesthetics,the proposed project
will contribute incrementally to cumulatively considerable aesthetic
impacts related to the visual character of the area going from largely
vacant, rural terrain to low density suburban development.
g. The City Council finds, based on the Final EIR, that after implementation of
the proposed mitigation measures,the following impacts associated with the
proposed Project would remain significant: air quality (short-term impacts,
and short and long-term cumulative impacts), biological resources related to
the loss of habitat, and aesthetics related to short-term views (i.e.
construction activities and dust)and long-term views related to transforming
the existing natural terrain into a residential community.
h. The Final EIR describes a range of alternatives to the Project that might fulfill
basic objectives of the Project. These alternatives include the required "No
Project-No Development' alternative, and the 'Rural Density Alterative,"
development under the existing land use designation. Other alternatives that
were considered and rejected included the alternative location alternative
and the alternative land use alternative. As set forth below, the alternatives
identified in the Final EIR are not feasible because they would not achieve
the basic objectives of the Project or would do so only to a much smaller
degree and, therefore, leave unaddressed the significant economic,
infrastructure, and General Plan goals that the Project is intended to
accomplish, and are thus infeasible due to social and economic
considerations, and/or they are infeasible because they would not eliminate
the adverse environmental impacts of the proposed Project. Accordingly,
each of the alternatives is infeasible. In making this finding, the City Council
determines as follows:
i) The objectives of the Project are:
a) To be consistent with, and implement, the established policies and
goals of the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, Etiwanda
North Specific Plan, City Development Code, and all other City
development guidelines;
b) Annexation of approximately 240 acres including the 168.77-acre
Project site and adjacent utility easements and corridors into the City
of Rancho Cucamonga;
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 11 of 42
c) To Integrate the Project with the character of the surrounding
neighborhoods and establish a development that results in logical,
coordinated growth;
cl) To establish a Project-wide circulation system that meets regional
and local transportation needs and accommodates both vehicles and
pedestrians;
e) To provide a system of public/community facilities, including trails,
open space areas, and landscaping to support the residents of the
Project and surrounding area in an efficient and timely manner;
f) To provide backbone public infrastructure (i.e., roads, utilities) to
serve Project residents and the surrounding community;
g) To minimize impacts to,and generate revenues in excess of costs for
various public service agencies; and
h) To provide quality housing opportunities compatible with existing and
planned development that responds to market demands.
ii) Under the "No Project-No Development Alternative" the project site
would remain vacant which would avoid all significant project specific
impacts, although cumulative impacts including traffic, noise, and air
quality would eventually occur, but not to the same degree as if the
proposed Project were built. This alternative would eliminate essentially
all of the adverse impacts of the proposed Project and is, therefore, an
environmentally superior alternative. This alternative does not meet the
Project's basic objectives of developing a residential project consistent
with the General Plan land use designation for the site.
iii) Under the "No Project—Open Space Alternative"the site would remain
vacant but be acquired, fenced, and maintained for open space and
biological habitat as part of the NEOSHPP plan. This alternative would
avoid all the significant impacts of developing the property, however,
cumulative impacts including traffic, noise,and air quality,will eventually
occur regardless of whether the site is developed or preserved,although
perhaps not to the same degree as with the proposed Project. This is an
environmentally superior alternative but does not meet the Project's basic
objectives, and indeed all other objectives, of developing a project
consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the site.
iv) Under the"Reduced Intensity Alternative"almost all of the significant or
potentially significant impacts associated with the proposed project would
be eliminated. The remaining significant impact (i.e., construction
emissions) could probably not be eliminated or significantly reduced by
the implementation of any feasible alternative or mitigation measures at
this time, unless the project were to support all custom lots of one acre or
more where only building pads are graded when needed. However,the
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 12 of 42
Project fiscal report indicates that fewer, larger residential lots/units
would not generate sufficient public revenues to offset costs to provide
services. While this alternative is environmentally superior to the
proposed Project, it does not meet the Project's economic objectives of
developing a residential project that has a positive cost/benefit ratio for
the City and generates a reasonable return on investment. Also, since
this alternative does not fully implement the City's goal of providing
adequate park facilities for City residents.
v) The"Modified Site Plan Alternative"would create a 300-foot wide buffer
along the west bank of the East Etiwanda Creek to better buffer wildlife
movement and create more open space. It would cluster the residential
development in the southwestern portion of the site and would have 200
units with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and a height limit of
one story. It would eliminate the significant impacts of the proposed
project-related long-term air quality (NOx and ROG emissions).
However, potentially significant impacts related to short-term air pollutant
emissions (ROG)and loss of biological resources would remain. Also,
this alternative does not meet the Project's economic objectives of
developing a residential project that has a positive cost/benefit ratio for
the City and generates a reasonable return on investment. This
alternative is marginally superior to the proposed Project in terms of
environmental impacts, but it does not meet the Project objectives.
vi) The "Rural Density Alterative" would development the site under the
City's currently designated of Very Low density residential (VL) which
allows a maximum of 2 units per acre of developable land with minimum
20,000 square foot lots. This alternative would locate approximately 75
units on 37 acres in the southern portion of the site,while the remaining
70 acres would be set aside as open space and biological habitat. This
alternative would eliminate the significant impacts of the proposed
Project related to biological resources related to loss of alluvial fan
habitat and long-term air quality from NOx and ROG emissions. This
alternative still has significant impacts related to short-term air pollutant
emissions (ROG)and does not provide the benefits of two parks. Also,
this alternative does not meet the Project's economic objectives of
developing a residential project that has a positive cost/benefit ratio for
the City and generates a reasonable return on investment. As such, it
does not meet the Project's goals. This alternative is environmentally
superior to the proposed Project, but it does not meet the Project
objectives.
L Mitigation measures described in the Mitigation Monitoring Program will
avoid or substantially lessen the potentially significant environmental effects
of the Project. Further, the environmental, physical, social, economic and
other benefits of the Project, as set forth in this section and in the "CEQA
Findings" for the Project (Exhibit"F" to the July 21, 2004 City Council Staff
Report), which is incorporated herein by this reference, outweigh any
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 13 of 42
unavoidable, significant, adverse impacts that may occur as a result of the
Project, including short-term impacts on air qualityfrom construction-related
emissions and cumulative impacts to air quality related to vehicle emissions;
impacts to biological resources related to removal of habitat; and short-term
impacts to aesthetics (i.e. construction dust obscuring views)and long-term
impacts to aesthetics (changes to the natural terrain). Therefore, due to
overriding benefits of the Project and because the alternatives identified in
the Final EIR are not feasible, as discussed in paragraph j above, the City
Council hereby finds that any unavoidable impacts of the Project, including
the mitigated but unavoidable impacts to short-term and long-term impacts
on air quality and aesthetics, and project related and cumulative impacts to
biological resources,are acceptable based on the findings contained herein
and in the "CEQA Findings" for the Project. This determination shall
constitute a statement of overriding considerations within the meaning of
CEQA and is based on any one of the following environmental and other
benefits of the Project identified in the Final EIR and the record of the City
Council's proceeding:
i) Provision for the use of land consistent with the established policies and
goals of the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, Etiwanda North
Specific Plan, City Development Code, and all other City Development
guidelines;
ii) Annexation of approximately 240 acres including the 168.77-acre Project
site and adjacent utility easements and corridors into the City of Rancho
Cucamonga;
iii) Integration of the Project with the character of the surrounding
neighborhoods and establishment of a development that results in
logical, coordinated growth;
iv) Establishment of a Project-wide circulation system that meets regional
and local transportation needs and accommodates both vehicles and
pedestrians;
v) Provision of a system of public/community facilities, including trails,open
space areas, and landscaping to support the residents of the Project and
surrounding area in an efficient and timely manner;
vi) Provision of backbone public infrastructure (i.e., roads, utilities)to serve
Project residents and the surrounding community;
vii) Minimization of impacts to, and generation of revenues in excess of costs
for, various public service agencies; and
viii) Provision of quality housing opportunities compatible with existing and
planned development that responds to market demands.
ix) The addition of housing units in accomplishment of the City's Housing
Element Goals and fulfillment of regional housing needs.
Resolution No. 04-243

x) City control over the developing lands on the City's perimeter.
A) Advancement of the regional trail system by the links to be completed by
the Project.
j. The mitigation measures in the Final EIR that correspond to the
environmental impacts which may resultfrom the Projectare herebyadopted
and made a condition of approval of, or incorporated into, the Project. The
City Council also hereby adopts the"Mitigation Monitoring Plan"attached as
Exhibit"H"to the July 21,2004 City Council Staff Report for this Project. The
Mitigation Monitoring Plan will be used to monitor compliance with the
mitigation measures and conditions that have been adopted or made a
condition of Project approval as set forth in this Section of this Resolution
and in the Mitigation Monitoring Plan.
k. Pursuant to provisions of the California Public Resources Code Section
21089(b), the findings contained in this Resolution shall not be operative,
vested or final until all required filing fees assessed pursuant to California
Fish and Game Code Section 711.4, together with any required handling
charges, are paid to the County Clerk of the County of San Bernardino.
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 Sections 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the General Plan,any applicable
specific plans, and the Development Code. The density, design and
development standards of the Tentative Tract Map are consistent with the
City's General Plan,as amended by DRC2003-00410,and with the Etiwanda
North Specific Plan, as amended by DRC2003-00409. The Tentative Tract
Map is also consistent with the General Plan's intention of extending the low
density image of Old Etiwanda into the area as provided in General Plan
Policy 2.4.4.5.
b. The design or improvements of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the
General Plan, any applicable specific plans, and the Development Code.
The proposed development is designed to comply with the design theme
imposed for North Etiwanda as specified in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan.
Specifically,the project will provide two equestrian-oriented parks and horse
trails, and the design standards for landscaping,walls, fencing, lighting and
community entries comply with the overall thematic design for the North
Etiwanda area of the City.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The site
is located in proximity to existing roadways and infrastructure. The tract is
designed to address existing topographical and geological conditions and to
achieve compliance with existing legal, biological and geological limitations
of the site. Based on the whole record, the City Council finds that the site is
physically suitable for the proposed residential housing development.
Resolution No. 04-243
Page 15 of 42
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The
project will have an average density of 1.9 dwelling units per acre for the
entire project and will comply with the density restrictions imposed by the
existing General Plan and Etiwanda North Specific Plan. The lots would
range from 14,024 square feet to 45,755 square feet. These sizes are
compatible with the surrounding developed areas and with the physical
conditions and limitations on the site.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. Based
on extensive mitigation measures relating to native plants,sensitive species
and wildlife,the impact of the project on biological resources is determined to
be mitigated to a level of less than significant. Further, the mitigation
measures related to seismic shaking, fires, wind and other conditions are
deemed to be sufficient to avoid substantial injury to humans.
f. The Tentative Tract Map is not likely to cause serious public health
problems. As specified in prior sections of this Resolution, conditions and
mitigation measures have been imposed that will reduce risks from seismic
activities,fires,winds and other hazards and, based on these conditions and
restrictions, the City Council finds that the project will not cause serious
public health problems.
g. The design of the Tentative Tract Map will not conflict with any easement
acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of
the property within the proposed subdivision. Based on the evidence in the
record of this matter,the Project has been designed to recognize and protect
existing conservation areas and open space resources maintained by public
entities as well as utility easements and other existing private and public
easements and restrictions imposed on the Project site.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Sections 1, 2 and 3 above,
this Council hereby denies the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT14749 and hereby approves the application
(Tentative Tract Map SUBTT14749)subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions,attached hereto and incorporated herein
