4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated
Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for
the environmental assessment for the application, the City Council finds that
there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect
upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this
reference, based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study
of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the
findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with
the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial
evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the
environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public
notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The City Council has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and, based on the whole record before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii)
that, based on the impOSition of mitigation measures, there is no
substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on
the environment. The City Council finds that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City
Council. Based on these findings, the City Council hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
c. The City Council has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to
the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and
finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with the
mitigation measures during the project implementation. The City
Council therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the
project.
d. Pursuant to the requirements of California Fish and Game Code
Section 711.4 and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations,
Section 753.5, the City Council finds, based on the Initial Study, the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, and considering the record as a
whole, that there is no evidence before the City that the proposed
project will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife
resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. The project
site is disturbed from previous weed abatement activities, the project
site is surrounded by commercial and residential development and the
site has not been identified as potential location for habitat that is
known to support sensitive biological species. Further, the site
contains no blue line streams. Based on substantial evidence, the City
Ordinance No. 766
Page 4 of 6
Council hereby makes a declaration rebutting the presumption of
adverse effect as set forth in California Department of Fish and Game
Regulation 753.5 (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Code,
Section 753.5.)
e. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative
Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials
which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City
Council's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public
review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California
91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.

4 above, this Council hereby approves Development District Amendment
