Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project which are listed

2) Parking lot landscape islands shall have the typical oval shape rather
than a sharp, crescent shape to provide maximum room for plants to
grow and avoid irrigation over spray onto the parking area.
3) Provide mostly Sycamore trees along the Foothill Boulevard frontage
with some African Sumac trees mixed in consistent with the Foothill
Boulevard Specific Plan.
4) Augment the berm/low wall/trees along the Foothill Boulevard frontage
with shrub planting to further screen views of the parking area.
5) All roof and ground-mounted equipment and utilities shall be fully
screened.

signalized freeway ramp. We do not want to give the impression
cars exiting this driveway can use the left turn pocket in the
median.
2) Retain the existing 53-foot driveway width for the church entrance.
3) Development will be required to install full frontage improvements, per
the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, as permitted by Caltrans. We
assume Caltrans will approve dimensions, which match the existing
Foothill Marketplace improvements on the south side, although they
may require the plans to be done in metric. On City Drawing No. 1468,
midblock lanes are 14, 12, and 20 feet wide.
a) The bus bay west of the main entry shall be located as close to
the signalized intersection as possible. Provide a right turn lane

feet from the Foothill Boulevard curb. Provide a copy of the recorded
easement for maintenance of signal equipment.
5) The Etiwanda/San Sevaine Area Drainage Policy requires the
installation of a master plan storm drain in Foothill Boulevard between
Etiwanda and East Avenues and an interim basin for said storm drain
to discharge into until such time as the Regional mainline channel is
constructed south of Foothill Boulevard. However, since this
development is an expansion of an existing facility and the increased
flows are insignificant, this development may proceed utilizing the
existing drainage facility southerly, provided permission is obtained
from Foothill Marketplace.
6) Upon installation of drainage facilities to the east, this development
shall be responsible to remove existing temporary facilities, which
discharge southerly and connect to the new facilities to the east. The
extent of this work shall be reviewed in plan check. The developer
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 00-134
CUP 99-56—SACRED HEART CHURCH
December 13, 2000
Page 5
shall deposit the determined amount to cover all cost of the
contemplated improvements.
7) Development within the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Drainage area is
responsible for the City's adopted drainage fee (master plan and
regional) as well as reimbursement to other development, or the City,
for over sizing of drainage facilities as determined by the City Engineer.
8) Modify the existing traffic signal at Foothill Boulevard and the Foothill
Marketplace entrance, as required by the City Engineer.
9) Provide a Class II Bike Lane on Foothill Boulevard frontage.
10) Provide raised pavement markers or textured pavement to delineate
lane striping within 100 feet of intersection.
11) The existing overhead utilities (telecommunications and electrical)on
the project side of Foothill Boulevard shall be undergrounded along the
entire project frontage extending to the first pole off site (east and
west), prior to public improvement acceptance or occupancy,
whichever occurs first. The developer may request a reimbursement
agreement to recover one-half of the actual cost for undergrounding
from in-lieu fees already collected from development on the opposite
side of the street that included the full frontage of this project. If the
developer fails to submit for said reimbursement agreement within six
months of the public improvements being accepted by the City, all
rights of the developer to reimbursement shall terminate.
Environmental Mitigation
Air Quality
1) The areas of the site where raw soil is exposed shall be treated with
water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and
RWQCB) daily to reduce PM10 emissions, in accordance with
SCAQMD Rule 403.
2) Foothill Boulevard shall be swept according to a schedule established
by the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking
of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of
construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed
25 mph to minimize PM10 emissions from the site during such
episodes.
4) Chemical soil stabilizers(approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB)shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for
96 hours or more to reduce PM10 emissions.
