BY: Mike Olivier, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO APPROPRIATE 55,000.00 FROM FUND 22 - "SYSTEMS
DEVELOPMENT" TO ACCOUNT 90. 22-4631-8942 FOR THE PREPARATION OF
AN EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL PER THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY
ATTORNEY, OF A PARTIAL TAKING FOR THE "FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AT
ROCHESTER AVENUE SIGNAL" PR0.IECT
RECOMIENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve the appropriation of 55,000.00
from Fund 22 - "Systems Development' to Account No. 22-4637-8942 to pay
appraisal costs pertaining to right-of-way acquisition for said signal
protect.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In FY 90/91 the City retained ,1. N1111am Murphy d Associates to Drovide rlght-
of-way acquisition services in contunction with the "FOOth111 Boulevard at
Rochester Avenue Signal" protect. Several parcels next to this protect
required right-of-way acquisition. All have been settled except one. This
one particular acquisition required time consuming work due to mixed signals
from the owner and their legal representative. Murphy was retained to provide
valuation of the land needed for possible purchase. However, negotiations led
to eminent domain action to allow the protect to De built. The City Attorney
is now prepared to approach the court with a trial date of February 1993. The
updated appraisal 75 needed for this court action. The parcel in question 1s
on the southeast corner; the owner is Aggazottt.
Fund 22 - "Systems Development" 1s funded from developer impact fees collected
as development occurs within the City. These fees are to cover development's
"fair share" of the cost of the necessary street and signal facilities
throughout the City. Staff expects fees will be collected during the current
fiscal year to cover this additional approprlatlon and still fund budgets
previously aAopted by the City Counc ll.

FROM: Duane A. Baker, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBIECT: APPROVAL TO EXECUTE A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH
FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNF,RS TO COVER CONSULTANT COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH A PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
N
u is recommended that [he City Council approve the reimbursement
agreement with Foothill Marketplace Partners.
BACKGROUND
The developers of Foothill Marketplace have asked the City to form an
assessment district to finance the cost of the public infrastructure associated
with the project. Foothill Marketplace is at the southwest comer of Foothill
and Etiwanda and is home to Price Club and Walmart.
Rr(ore asking the City Council to form an assessment district the City needs to
retain several consultants to study the feasibility of the project. Per City
policy, we arc requiring the developer to pay for all of the consultant costs.
The reimbursement agreement before the Council sets forth the manner in
which the developers money is deposited with the City and how it is to be
reimbursed from bond proceeds should an assessment district be formed.
The City council is under no obligation to form a district and the agreement
specifically reserves for the City the right to abandon these proceedings
without having Im reimburse funds already spent.
As this agreement will help this project move forward without obligating the
City, staff is recommending approval.

Staff recommends City Council approval. If the City Council conrurs,
the attached ordinance should be adopted.
HACICGFIDOND
The primary objective of the Hove Lng and Community Development A^.t of
1974 is to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment,
principally £or persons of low and moderate income. The City offers low
income residents three ways to pay for repairs and improvements to
homes:
Bowe i~proveaent Grant - up to 55,000 (does not need to be
repaid). Inccme eligible mobile home owners and income eligible
single family homeowners.
7.. Deferred Payment Loan - 0 percent interest deferred payment loan up
to $75,000 for senior citizens, very low income households and
disabled persons who are single family homeowners.
3. Lor Interest Loan - low interest loan up to $20,000 requiring
monthly payments Eor income eligible single family homeowne re.
The Home Improvement Program is currently handling a case Where the
homeowner qualified Eor a home improvement loan under income
restrictions and has a situation of overe rnwdinq and several health and
safety violations. The City would provide the applicant with a deferred
payment loan of up to $15,000 to rehabilitate the house. However, as a
rr_sult of Ordinance 59, a building permit may not be issued without all
J~

potential 3edicat ion being acquired. Sn this case, dedication would he
required on both the north (70' x 120') and west (4' x 80') property
boundaries, or approximately 3,920 square feet, representing 75 percent
of the existing lot (see Attachment "A"). Additionally, a potentially
significant historic rock garage would fa 11 within the northerly
dedication.
the purpose of the Home Improvement Program is to encourage lower income
homeowners to maintain their homes and tc provide needed assistance.
Requesting full dedication, in instances such as this, in effect
penalizes families who are requesting assistance and deprives them of
the possibility of receiving any future compensation for their land. In
this case in particular, the value of the land that would be dedicated
would exceed the value of the loan received From the City. The full
impact of this provision is likely to discourage lower income homeowners
from providing necessary improvements to their homes as they are
understandably unwilling to dedicate such a large portion of their
property.
aRALS$I$
Currently under provieiona of Ordinance 5H, application for a building
permit triggers requirement for dedication of property. There are no
provieiona in the extort ng ordinance to allow for exceptions from this
section. The attached Ordinance would amend Ordinance 58 to add
language to allow exemption of low income homeowners participating in
the Convnunity Development Block Grant Home Improvement Programs and
Redevelopment Programs from dedicating property when the City would
acquire such a large portion of property that it creates a hardship Eoz
the property owner.
exemption would be provided for dedications that exceed 5 percent of the
property end would not unduly delay the correction of an immediately
hazardous condition. Full or partial dedications of 5 percent oz lees
would still be required. The amount of property normally obtained for a
dedication from the front yard of a typical rectangular lot would
generally not exceed 5 percent of the total parcel. This was determined
to be a reasonable amount. of land where the value of the property
acquired through dedication does not exceed that of the improvements
being added. IC should be noted that we have had homeowners readily
cooperate on previous projects where the requirements have been
5 percent or leas.
PACfS POR PIRDINGS
The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and objectives
of the Community Development Block Grant Program.

SUBJECT: CONSIDEFA TION OF ENVIRONMENTAL I[lpACT REPORT FOR VESTING
TENTATIVE TRACT 1d 475 - SA HAMA INVESTMENTE - Appeal of the
Planning Commission's certification of the Subsequent
Rnvironmental Impact Report for Vetting Tentative Tract
14675, a residential subdivision of 66 single family lots
on 113 acres of land in the Hillside Residential (less
than 2 dwelling units per acre) and Open Space Districts,
located north of Almond Avenue between Sapphire and
i`urquoise Streets - APN: 200-051-07, 55, 56, and 57.
R&CO!!Iffi1DATLA
The Planning Cosm:i ssion recommends that the City Council certify the
adequacy of the Final S~~bsequent Environmental Impact Repozt for Vesting
Tentative Tract 14475 and adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program
through adoption of the attached Resolution.
BACRGIOOND
On February 28, 1990, Sahama Investments submitted an application to
develop 113 acres in the northwest corner of the City. Upon reviewing
the proposal, staff noted that an Environmental Impact Report (EI R) had
been certified for a prev.tous application on the site. In reviewing the
previous project file and EIR, staff found a number of differences
between the scope and design of the previous application and the current
app lrcatior.. Also, changes had occurred to the Development, Code, moat
notably rmp lementation of the Hillside Development Regu lesions, that
were not ir. place at the time of review of the previous application. As
a resu l[, staff determined that a Subsequent Environmental Impact Repot
(SEIR) was necessary to update the environmental xecord and address the
new issnes•
Over the past year-and-a-half, the Planning ConOaiasien has conducted
several public hearings on the SE IA and the related tentative tract
map. Through the public testimony (both verbal and written) received
from these meetings, many changes have been incorporated into the SEIR

in response to concerns raised by other government agencies (re sponsiDle
agencies), adjacent property owners, and concerned citizens. These
comments have resulted in additional biological studies being conducted
and additional mitigation measures being incorporated into the SEIA.
DISCOSS ICY
The most recent Planning Commission public hearing was conducted on
September 23, 1992. At that Gime, the Planning Covm,ission determined
Ghat the SEIR adequately addressed the env it onmenial issues an3 the
changes to the Deva lopmert Code. Aa a result, the Planning Co®ission
certified the SEIR as adequate.
Following the Planning Coimissi on meeGinq, an appeal was filed by a
group of individuals voicing concerns about the SEIR'a adequacy as noted
in their letter (see Exhibit "A"). In response, City staff requested
our SEIA consultant to prepare a point-by-point analysis of the appeal
letter. This analysis is attached as Exhibit "B" of the staff report.
Staff believes that the SEIR, as identified by this analysis, adequately
addresses the issues raised by the appellant end that no further
information or studies are necessary for incorporation into the SEIA.
Therefore, staff feels that the SEIR can be certified by the City
Council.

The EIR fails to adequately discuss or compare how the
biological resources may be negatively impacted by the
various alternatives (see Section 5.0 draft EZR). Nor
does the EIR or the administrative record explain in detail
as required why the Environmentally Superior Alternative,
Study S, was rejected. "(Alternatives and the reafions wby
,tbgy_,wgLe reiectgd must be discussed in the EIR in
sufficient detail to enable meaningful participation and
criticism by the public". (Laurel Reights Imorovg@SDS

underlining).
2. Two days (Nov. 15 and 19, 1990) are nok adequate to search
for sensitive or care plants species. Spring surveys,
during early, middle and late months should have been
conducted, and the results discussed in the EIR. The
single day study (Mar. 26, 1964) Se out-of-date and
inadequate.
EIR failed to address plant species Aatragalus {1t;ypS46S1
and AdSL~g$14fi ~jticaulis, both known to occur in the
near region.
4. This subject EIR is a pcoiec~ EIR rather than a p=QgL~
EIR. While ens can rely solely on known Native Species
Database or published literature for a prog[am EIR,
consultants are required to conduct site-specific searches
for sensitive species during project EIRS. Even though
site-specific studies were requited fo[ this project EIR,
co naultants did not conduct any for the California Red-
sided Garter Snake, merely stating that it 'may be
present" (App. C:7); nor the Western Pond Turtle, eta ti ng
only that it 'may be present in the drainage...";
nor the Arroyo Toad, Baying only that a 'focused Spring
survey is needed.."
5. The EIR is incomplete and at~jj;S~y when is treats some
Species of Special Concern (Western Spadefoat Toad, the
Western Pond Turtle and San Diego Horned Lizard) and yet
omits others of the same or greater California Dept. of
Fish and Game status, e. g. the Burrowing Owl, Loggerhead
Shrike, Orange-Throated WhipTail, Cooper's Bawk and
Northern Harrier Hawk.
6. Failed to conduct wildlife movement studies even though
such studies are normally done to measure a project's
possible impact on the movement (CEQA Guidelines, App. G).
The Chair of the Planning Commission stated in the record

that he lived in the foothills, and did not think wildlife
movement would be impacted. Findings must be made based
upon substantial evidence in the record.
Other topics that should have been addressed (see CEgA
Guidelines, App. G) but were not are:
Hydrology and project's effect on the aquifer
Conflict with environmental goals in community
Contamination of public water supply

Conflict with recreational uses in the area
EIR (App.C:ll-12) nor the record does not mitigate for the
potential loss of sensitive species, the rare Alluvial
form of Riv ersidi an Coastal Sage Shrub or related Shrub
that may occur in the project area on project
implementation. EZR or record does not contain the required
"substantial evidence" for the findings listed at App.C:B-
12. (Public Resources Code Section 21081.5 and CEQA
Guidelines 15091[b]). EIR incorporate miiigntiona into the
project oc specifically reject them as iofEOEible based upon
substantial record (Public Resources Code Section 21081).
The study for the EIR did not examine or mitigate for the
sensitive plant and animal species adjacent to the project
site that may suffer negative impacts (including
accumulative impacts) on project implementation. We call
your attention to the requirement from Public Rea4y~gg
CQ~g~g4S147L211r.1: 'A complete assessment Of fauna and
flora within and adiacgHli (our underlining) to the project
area, with emphasis upon sensitive and critical
habitat". ."A discussion of direct, indirect, accumulative
impacts expected to adversely affect biological resources

10. EIR does not mitigate for losses of resources due to
accumulative effects.
11. The subject EIR does not an alternative Bite for the project

14. Friends of the Foothills, and we believe any other
reasonable and objective Verson reading the EIR, cannot
tell the depth and diversity of the plant and animal

Response to Friends of the Foothills'
Objections to Subsequent ElR for Tentative Tract 14475
Intrnduclion
On Ocrober 5, 1992, Friends of the Foothills filed a formal appeal to the City Council concerning
approval by the Planning Commission of the Subsequent EIR for TT 14475, The appeal raises sizteen
specific objections concerning the EIR. The following responses have been prepazed to address each
of the objections raised by Friends of the Foothills. Responses have been prepared by Baaer
Em~ironmental Services, with assistance from Michael Brandman Associates for issues that concern
the EIR assessment of biological resources (see Objections iY2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and l4). For ease of
reference, the objection raised by Friends of the Foothills is summarized before each response; a
complete copy of the appeal letter is provided in its entirety as Appendiz A. Additionally, the full
tent of the responses prepared by MBA is preserved as Appendix B.
Objection: "The EIR jails to adequately discuss or compan how the biological resources
may be negatively impacted by the various allerrrotfves (see Section 5.0 dmjt E/R). Nor does
the EIR or the admhrtstrotive rccotd ezplatn in detail as nquind why the Environmentally
Superior Alternative, Study B, was rejected... "
Rem In discussing the merits of the estate lot development alternative (the only alternative not
found to be environmentally superior), the EIR notes that the reduced density of that alternative is
gained at the expense of private ownership. Since private ownership carries the right to make such
improvements as tennis courts, pools, and livestock outbuildings, etc.), it was noted that grading could
have a significant cumulative effect on habitat loss (and other resources) over time. The two
remaining development alternatives were found environmentally superior to the project proposal
because each incorporated less grading and more protected open space -- two primary determinants
nl impact on habitat.
The EIR did nor ezplain why the Environmentally Superior Alternative (Study B) was rejected because
it was not in fact known whether the alternative was to be rejected. Indeed, it was considered possible
that an alternative would be approved, since the City Council in 1986 had denied the project
application in favor of an alternative (please see discussion on FEIR page 6), an action that occurred
after F;IR certification. Though CEQA directs that an EIR shall disclose why an alternative is re,letted
fif rejection has occurred), it more strongly encourages a genuine openness to alternatives (such as
eeisted in this project).
In fact, the project ultimately approved was a hybrid between Alternatives A and B, including .~
reduction in the number of units (from 73 to fib), and elimination of grading in all areas hating e
shpe of IS`~ nr greater, Though Int sizes were somewhat increased, there was an overall reducurn
in grading and an overall increase in the amount of open space. The project approved by the ('u)
as described in the administrative record, is within the parameters of the EIR analyses.
~~
?. Objection; ^7Yvo days (Nov. ]5 and 19, ]990) are not adequate to search for sensime or
rare plants species. Spring surveys, during early, middle and late months should have been
conducted, and the results discussed in the EIR. The single day study (Mar. 26, 1984) is
om-of-date and inadequate. "
Response: MBA staff originally surveyed [he site on 26 Mazch 1984, both by motor vehicle and on
foot, for a prior project proposal, When the TT 14475 E[R was initiated, two MBA Staff biologists
revisited the prejec[ site on November 15 and November 19, 1990. Their site survey was intended
to verify whether any change had occurred since the 1984 characterization of onsite
vegetation/wildlife communities and sensitive biological resources, A[ the direction of the Planning
Commission, surveys for sensitive species were subsequently undertaken on April 24, May 1, and
May 8, 1992. These focused surveys were conducted on the upper and lower mesas, areas that would
be impacted by project development, and ezduded the Cucamonga Canyon Wazh, which lies outside
the area of project impact. The six surveys performed on this site between March 1984 and May 1992
were fully adequate to accurately characterize existing biological resources for this 113-acre parcel.
Objection: "EIR fails to address plau species Astm us brountonif and Astmedru
multicaulis both known to occur in the near region. "
Response: Prior to initiating a field survey for sensitive species, it is customary to identify and
eliminate from the search any species net like to occur within the project area. Species may be
ezduded at this stage fer any of several reasons including: (1) dre habitat on-site does not meet the
requirements of a particular sensitive species; (2) the location of the site is outside the range of the
species: or (3) habitat suitable for the sensitive species may be present onsite, but is outside the area
of rroject impact.
Braunton's milk-vetch (Asrroga/us braunronii) is a federal Category 2 candidate. Category 2
candidates include taxa that are under consideration for listing as threatened or endangered, but for
which the U.5. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) does no[ have conclusive data to support listing.
This perennial plant occurs on limestone soils (especially in disturbed or recently burned areas) in
chaparral, coastal sage scmb, and grassland communities. Most records for Braunton's milk-vetch
are from the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood Hills (CNDDB 1992). No records for this
species exist from San Bernardino County (Manz 1974, Abrams 1923, and CLAPS 1988). The project
site is thus outside of the species' range,
M116A, which prepared all of the biological site surveys and reports during the period from 1984 to
present, is not familiar with a species called Astragalus muldcau[is, and cannot find it in the botanical
references. Possibly the reference is to the many-stemmed dudleya (Dudleya multicaulis), a USFWS
Category 2 candidate species for listing as threatened or endangered, The California Native Plant
Society (CLAPS) places this species on its List IB, indicating that the species is considered rare.
threatened, or endangered by California Department of Fish and Game standards. The historic range
of the many-stemmed dudleya includes the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Fernando Valley,
south to northern San Diego County and east into western San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
The species usually occurs below 2,t)(1(1 feet' and is restricted to a limited range of substrates such
as clay or thin, rocky soils with low fertility where competition from more aggressive species is low
The habitat, soil type, and elevation of the project site are unsuitable for this species.
' On-site elevations range from 2,160 to 2,910 feet shove mean sea level.
[P O
4. Objection: "This subjeM EIR it o Proiec! EIR rather than a Pro¢rom EIR. White one can
rely solely art knowrs Native Species Database or published literature for a program EIR,
consultaNs are required !o corsduct site-specific searches jot sensitive species during project
EIRs. Even though site-specific studies were required for this project ElR, consukants did
not conduct any for the California Redsided Goner Snake, merely stating that U "may be
present "...; nor the Werterrs Pond Turtle, stating only that i! "...may 6e present in the
drainage... "; nor the Arroyo Tpad, saying only lhot a focused Spring survey is needed... ".
Respor~e: As noted in response p3 above, it is customary to eliminate any special not likely to occur
within a project area before initiating any field work for sensitive species. Species may be excluded
at this stage for several reasons including: (1) on-site habitat does not meet the requirements of a
particular sensitive species; (2) the site is located outside the range of the species; or (3) habitat
suitable for the sensitive species may be present onsite, but is outside the area of project impact.
Sensitive species surveys for the California gnatcateher (Pofioptila colifornica) and San Diego horned
lizard (Phn~nosoma caronatum biainvii[ei) were conducted on [he project ;ite in the spring of 1992.
fn addition to the focused surveys conducted on the project site, sensitive species are routinely sought
during initial and subsequent site surveys, as did occur on TT 14475. This is especially true of
conspicuous species such as the California gnatca[cher.
Directed surveys for the arroyo toad (Bufo microscaphus califomicus), western Pond Turtle (Clemmys
mannoraro) and the California red-sided garter snake (7hamnophis sinalis infernalis) were not
undertaken. As discussed in the EIR (pages 27 and 2g), these species may occur in Cucamonga
Canyon Wash along the western property boundary, which is outside the area of project impact. Even
this is considered unlikely, however, since the species requires a permanent to near-permanent source
of water, and the wash contains standing water only for short periods following hoary winter rains.
5. Objection; "The EIR is incomplete and prb4mrv when it treats some Species of Special
Concern (Western Spadefoot Toad, the Western Pond Turtle and San Diego Homed [.izarrl)
and yet omits others of [he same ar greater CDFG status, e.g., the Burrowing Owl,
Loggerhead Shrike, Orange-Throated Whiptad, Cooper's Hawk and Northern Hamer
Hawk. "
Response: As noted in response to Objection k4 above, it is customary to identify and eliminate
from the search any species not like to occur within the project area; factors would include absence
or appropriate habitat, or location outside of the species' range, or the haoitat is outside the area of
project impact. These factors were considered with regard to each of the species cited above, each
of which was removed from further analysis on the basis of the initial evaluation. In the case of the
orange-throated whiplail (Cnemidophorus hyperythrus), a Category 2 Federal candidate for listing
as threatened or endangered and a California Species of Special Concern, the project site lies outside
their known range; with respect to the Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cnoperii) and the northern harrier
(Circus cyaneus), both of which are CDFG Species of Special Concern, the site does not contain
appropriate habitat During site surveys, it was noted that the site lacks habitat suitable for the
burrowing owl lSpwtyto cunicularia); the preliminary finding was later supported by the absence nt
any visual evidence of this diurnal ow.. The loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) was remove)
I'rnm further consideration due to the observation that onsite scrub and chaparral communities ore
generally too dense to provide adequate foraging habitat.

b. Objection: "Palled to carsduc! wildlife movement studies even though such studies an
normally done to measure a project's possible impact on the movemem... The Chair of the
Planning Commission stated in the record that he lived in the foothills, and did rsot think
Wildlife movemem would be impacted. Findings must be made based upon substantial
evidence in tke record. "
Response: Biologists recognize two types of wildlife movement corridors: primary and secondary.
Primary corridor s general ly link disjunct habitat areas, follow traditional migration routes, or are used
[o access specific areas within a large habitat area or home range. Primary corridors typically foI!ow
major drainages and ridgelines separating major drainages. Secondary corridors interconnect primary
corridors through tributary canyons and ridges, When corridors occur in drainages or tributaries, they
are often wooded or heavily vegetated to provide adequate cover and forage while moving from one
area to another.
The project site does not connect disjunct habitat areas, and thus does not meet the requirements for
a primary movement corridor. The project site also lacks wooded or heavily vegetated drainages and
ridgelines, and thus does nut satisfy the requirements of a secondary wildlife movement corridor.
Finally, the project site is located adjacent to open space on all sides; project implementation will not
cattail wildlife access r;, other undeveloped areas in any direction.
Objection: "Other topics that should have been addnssed...but were not are: o. 9ydrology
and the project's effects on the aquifer 6. ConJlla with environmentol goals in community;
c. Comamination of public water supply; d. Increased concenlraHon of part of population;
e. Conflict wkh recreational uses in the area."
Resuonse: a, Hydrology. Consistent with the scope and focus described in the November 1990
Notice of Preparation, the EIR discussion centered on current studies of hydrological conditions.
(boding patters, Flow and debris volumes, and drainage improvements both on-site and downstream.
Based on analyses contained in the earlier 1984 documenF as well as discussions with Cucamonga
County Water District, impacts on the underlying aquifer were not considered to be potentially
significant, and thus were not incorporated into the scope of EIR assessment.
b. Community Environmental Goals. Environmental goals of the community are expressed in the
City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, and in the City's Development Code. The latter document
is particularly relevant, as it contains formal Hillside Development Regulations governing guidelines
and standards to balance community goals, resource values, physical constraints, and demand for
housing and services along the foothill area. The EIR offers a lengthy discussion of these documents.
and compares the standards therein contained with specific aspects of the TT 14475 project (please
see FEIR pages 33-40).
c. Water Supply. As discussed in the EIR, groundwater supplies in the area are of good-to-excel Icm
quality. Potential contamination of public water supplies was not identified as a potentially sigmficun
environmental concern during communication with Cucamonga County Water District (pun~eynr ~~~
water and sewer services to the project area), nor is water supply contamination an environmem.d

impact azsociated with the type of land use (very-low density residentiap proposed in TT 14475. The
adverse water quality effects of urban development such as TT 14475 are primarily associated with
erosion and sedimentation (during construction), and non-point source pollution (during subsequent
occupancy). The EIR contains a number of mitigation measures designed to minimize erosion and
sedimentation lsee Measures #1-3, 5, 17 and 24) and to divert runoff into the storm drain system (see
Measures #20. 21, and 26'),
d. Concentration of population. Consistent with the scope and focus described in the November 1990
Initial Study and Notice of Preparation, [he EIR omitted consideration of population, housing and
employment impacts associated with this project as these effects were not considered to be potentially
significant As stated in the EIR (page 38), the project is consistent with the density that is allowed
on site under the formula contained in the Hillside Development Regulations.
e. Conflict with recreational uses in the area. Potential conflicts with recreational uses in the area
were considered to he an important element of this project, and were examined in several sections of
the EIR including On-Site and Surrounding Land Uses (Section 4.6), Transportation (Section 4.8), and
:1lternatives (Section 5). Consistent with the level of concern, this subject is the focus of eight
mitigation measures adopted for the proja;t including Measures #34, 36, and 39 through 44.
8. Objection "E/R.,.nor the rewrd does not mitigotefor the potential loss of sensitive species,
the mre dluvial form of Riversidian Coastd Sage Srruh or related Shrub that may occur
in the project area on project impJememation. E/R or record does not contain the required
"substantial e~ulence"jot the fuuRngs... E/R incorporate mMgations into the project or
specifically reject them as ' e ' le based upon substantial record... "
Response: As noted in the Final EIR (pleaze see Appendix C), there are two different kind of scrub
on the project site: coaztal sage scrub, and alluvial scrub. The coastal sage scrub community is found
throughout the project site, including the upper and ;owes mesas which comprise the area of project
impact. The EIR contains a number of mitigation measures designed to minimize impact on this
community, including mitigation measure #34 (which requires that all on- and off-site open space areas
he buffered from the project to discourage encroachment by residents and measure #35 (which requires
that all lighting be directed away from open space areas). Implementation of these measures will he
monitored and reported as outlined in the Comprehensive Mitigation Implementation and Monitoring
Plan adopted in September 799?.. The second type of scrub community found within the project
boundaries is alluvial scrub (also known as the Riversidian scrub vegetation). This communin~ n
(ourd in the Cucamonga Creek. Cucamonga Creek (and the alluvial scrub community) is outside the
area of project impact, and therefore does not require mitigation.
9. Objection. "The study jot the EIR did not examine or mltlgae for the senstive plum oral

' Nate that Measure #26 was incorporated at the suggestion of Leeona Klippstein, to eliminair ~~~ ,

~~
Response: The discussion of biological resources contained in Section 4.5 is a summary of the more
comprehensive report prepared by Michael Brandman Associates for [his project. The full report.
which is presented in Appendix C, includes a range of information concerning habits[ on adjacent
lands where such information is relevant to the project proposal. For example, the discussion of
existing conditions (Appendix C, page I) notes that while Cucamonga Creek has little vegetation
where it crosses the project site (due to only episodic high velocity Flood flows), there is a aell-
deseloped riparian woodland along the creek about one-half mile to the north, The discussion of
sensitise biological resources placed a great deal of emphasis on regional chazacteristics, panicularly
where i[ addresses western spadefoot toad; the analyses of impacts to vegetation, wildlife and sensitive
biological resources are similarly directed to regional as well as site specific conditions.' Cumulative
impacts on biological resources have also been addressed in the Comprehensive Mitigation
Implementation and Monitoring Plan. Mitigation measure #34 requires that all on- and off-site open
space areas be buffered from the project to discourage encroachment by residents; Measure #35
requires all lighting to be directed away from open space areas; and Measure #48 provides for the
f=orest Service to develop an informational handout addressing means by which cumulative effects can
be minimized.
10. Objection: "F.IR does no! mitigWe for losses of resowces due to accumulative impods. "
Response: The EIR states in several locations` that the TT 14475 development will -- in conjunction
with other development in adjacent areas and southerr, California as a whole -- be associated with a
variety of cumulative impacts. In particular, the EIR cites cumulative effects on traffic, runoff, air
pollution, water pollution, landform alteration, seduction of native hillside habitat, increased demand
for services, and commitment of natural resources. Though these effects are not found to be
significant (because the project is consistent with relevant municipal plans for the area), many of the
adopted mitigation measures are nonetheless designed to minimize the cumulative as well as the direct
effects of project implementation. For example, Measure p31 provides stringent provisions to
safeguard all mature coast live oaks within the study area, to prevent further cumulative loss of this
valued naiive tree); Measure #34 is devoted to discouraging encroachment onto adjacent open space
by project residents (and hence the cumulative loss of viable habitat) through a combination of
educational signage, physical barriers, and design and layout; Measure #39 specifies plan elements
that could be modified to achieve further reductions in grading and minimize the extent of landform
altemnon; Measure #48 provides for the Forest Service to develop an informational handout
addressing means by which cumulative effects can he minimized; and Measure #60 requires a meeting
between the applicant, the school district and the City to ensure that demands of the project do not
outstrip the ability of the District to provide an adequate education to its students. This objective is
repeated in the Alternatives section, where strong preference is given to alternative designs that
maximize protected open space and minimize grading, such that the cumulative effects on habitat, open
space, landform and aesthetics are minimized to the extent possible.
' Fnr example, discussions include indirect (seconds: y) impacts on vegetation not removed Gar
project construction, degradation of regional habitats, heightened competition for resources on adjacent
properties, proliferation of invasive species in natural habitat areas that border the site, and other
issues of concorn (see Appendix C, pages 8-Il).

11. Objection: "The subject EIR does not [ulentijyJ an alterrtntive rile far the project that would
reduce impacts."
Response: During the public hearing of 9 September 1992, a representative of the Sierra Club
requested [hat the Final EIR contain some consideration of alternative sites for the TT [4475 proposal.
Thereafter, a supplemental response was prepared to examine this issue, and submitted to the Planning
Commission for their consideration: a copy was tiro entered into the Administrative file, which is at
all times made available for review by the public, A copy of the supplemental response is provided
as Appendix C.
2. Objection: "EIR did nor rake into account the "Basic Realth, Sgjety and General Welfare ^
of the people. The people of California have profeeted the adjoining National Forest for
their enjoyment. Open Space should have been addressed as general welfare to the
community by protecting more viable habitat for wildlife moving between the project area
and the national forest. "
Response: The interrelationship between TT 14475 and the adjacent National Forest has been a
subject of special evaluation in this EIR, az noted in response to item 7e above. Substantial
communication and correspondence haz been maintained with representatives of the Forest Service,
and mitigation measures have been developed jointly with that agency (please see Measures #40, 41,
43 and 44). Bazed on the findings discussed in item #6, it has been determined that the project will
not impede or wildlife movement along any corridor.
13, Objection: "The Accumulative Impacts and Growth-Indueing Section (6.O) does not show
how this project wit! growth induce or otherwise [alfec(] future projects. A "Summary of
Projerfions and other requiremerus must be met... "
Response: The EIR states in Section 6 that the project will not induce growth because the
development density is consistent with adopted planning goals for this site, and also compatible with
the transitional hillside land use designations for surrounding parcels (pleae see discussion on FEIR
pages 30-3I). The EIR does conclude that the project could accele: ate the rate of development nn
adjacent parcels due to extension of necessary infrastructure.
14. Objection: "Friends of the Foothills, and we believe any other nasonab(e and objective
person reading the EIR, cannot tell the depth and diverstty of the pbnt and animal species
and .rensittve hobRats that are at risk when this project is undertaken. ^
Response: The CEQA Guidelines (sce Scetion 15125) require that an EIR include a description of
the environment in the vicinity of a project sufficient to enable an informed understanding of potential
significant effects of the propesal and its alternatives. As detailed in the foregoing responses, the
biological resource analyses undertaken by MBA for TT 14475 were designed to fulfill this ob)ective.
I S. Objection: "B is not clear from the administrNive record whether or not the City ojRancho
Cucamonga has conducted trs own, indeper;den! review oj(his DEIR. "
Response: As permitted by CEQA (Suction 15084), the Subsequent EIR for TT 14475 was prepare)
for the Lead Agency fthe City of Rancho Cucamonga) by an independent consultant IBnuer
Environmental Sen~ices), with subconsultant input from a second private firm (Michael Brandman
13
Associates, for biological field surveys and analysis) and preliminary engineering and design of
alternative by a third firm (Chazcol Hartman Associates).
The City took a number of steps designed [o safeguazd the independent judgment and objectivity of
the document and the process, as illustrated in this brief recapitulation. The City acted as a
clearinghouse for all communica[ion, data exchange, and remuneration between the subconsultant and
the applicant From the outset to [he conclusion of this project, the City reviewed all drafr
documentation and reevaluated modifications before final release (whether to the public or other
agencies). The City determined the type of alternatives to be considered, and required the applicant
to commit funding sufficient [o hire an independent engineering firm to ensure that the alternatives
were feasible in form and concept. The City maintained direct and frequent cotnmunica[ion with all
responsible and concerned agencies for this project (including the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino
County Transportation/Flood Control Department, and Cucamonga County Water District), and took
the leadership role in requiring and reviewing the wildland fire safety study that was completed by an
independent consulting firm. The Planning Commission opened this document to public wmmen[ at
four separate hearings (Hough not required to do so by CEQA a[ any stage), fur the purpose of better
understanding aspects of the project raised in that foram. As reflected in the minutes, the
Commissioners asked numerous questions in their own right, and directed further study of a number
of specific items (e.g., the spring biological surveys) for which more detail was needed to make an
informed decision about the project. Finally, the Resol:.:~,,,, ,dopting Findings of Significant Effect
for the TT 14475 project contains a statement affirming that the Findings represent the independent
judgment of the Planning Commission.
16. Objection: "The findings leading to this approval wen not based upon "substantial
evidence" in the ncord... On the confrory, the gbsrnrr of aftt-rpettpc studies ojrpecies
equal in status to (hose aetuagy examined, and the absence of a detailed discussion of
accumulative effects, points ow shat the EIR should have been ndone and brought into
compliance with CEQfI. The E/R, laektng these studies and discussion, failed to meet the
EIR's purpose of an "environmentaf abnn bell. "
Resoonse_ During the course of analysis, several potentially significant issues were identified and
examined. These included impacts associated with fire safety, school services, relationship to the
adjacent National Forest and other contiguous parcels, on-site habitat values, drainage, topography,
and geoloey (particularly with respect to the Cucamonga fault). The environmental alarm bell was
not sounded in this instance because (I) project smdies lead to the conclusion that TT 14475 was
generally eonsistent with approved and adopted plans for the site, and (2) idem anon of appropriate
mitigation measures reduced identified environmental impacts to a level oelow environmental
significance.

Cucamonea's Planning Commission's approval of the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) (or Tentative Track 14475.
Dear Ms. Bauer:
The following ;ire responses ni FrianJ.c ol'the Ftothills' letter to the City of Rancho Cucamonga
Planning Commission. The rcaponscs to biological issues are numbered acrording to Friends of
the Foothills' comments.
Commcm #2. The site was urigin:+lly surveyed ny motor vehicle and on foot by
\lichacl Brmdman A~scxiatas (MB.4) on March 26, 1984. Two MBA

oC the Foothills miry be rclirring to many-stemmed dudleya lDrut(eya
nmhicnulis). This plain is a USFWS Category 2 candidate species Cor
listing as threatened or endangered. The California Native Plant
Society (GNPs) placer this species on its List 16, indicating that the
species is considered rare, threatened, or endangered by California
Department oC Fish and Game standards. The historic range of the
many-stemmed dudleya includes the Santa Monica Mountains and the
San Fernando Valley, south to northern San Diego County and cast
i rto western S;m Bernardino and Riverside counties. The species
usually occurs below 2,(HIO feet and is restricted to a limited range of
substrates such as clay or thin, rocky soils' with low fertility where
competition ti~om more aggressive species is !uw. The habitat, soil
type, and perhaps elevation oC the project situ me unsuitable for this
species.
Comment #4. Before biologists go inur the field to look for every sensitive species
potentially presem in the general vicinity ol'the project site, species
nut likeh~ to occur onsite arc eliminated from the focused search.
Special may he ezduded I'or several reasons including: (1) the habitat
onsite does not meet the requirements of a particular sensitive
specie; (?) Ihu location of :he site is outside the range for the
species; or (3) suitaMc habitat &tr the sensitive species may he present

Comment #~. The Friends of the Foothills' letter implies that MBA arbitrarily
omitted some sensitive species from its analysis. Section 15125 (a) of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines states
that special emphasis should he placed on environmental resources
that arc rare or unique to the region and would 6e affected by the
project. The Standards of Adequacy of an EIR provided in Section
15151 slate that an evaluation of the environmental effects of a
proposed project not be exhaustive. MBA's goal in the preparation of
the TT (1-175 EIR is to provide sufOcient information to assess the
potential impacts of the project on biological resources.
Species most likely to occur onsite are analyzed For their potential
presence onsite and any impacts to these species as a result oC project
implementation. Species not likely to occur onsite for any of the
reasons cited in Comment #1, above, are eliminmed From the focused
analysis and are not addressed in the EIR to ensure [hat the
imponam inlnrmation is focused on and the report is not unduly
Icn¢ths.
'fhe species of mrcern u> the Friends of the Foothills including the
onn!!c-t hromed whiptail (Qremiz/ophonr.rh}peryrhrtu). Cooper's hawk
(Are i/tirer cooperir), northern harrier (Cvnu cynneus), burrowing owl
(Speonen cnnirulnrin), and loggerhead shrike (Lanius (udooicinnus)
were evaluated initially bW net focused nn further in the analysis for
the Collowing reasons.
The orange-throated whiptail most commonly occurs in Orange, San
Dicta and Riverside counties. it is Icss frequent north to extreme
southern Lux Angules C<nnty along the coast and in southwestern
San Rcrna«lino County near Cohon. Orange-throated whiptails arc
not expected to occur an the site because the project site is outside
This species known range.
The Career's hawk is a woodland species that nests in moderately
open riparian hahiuux and oak woodlands. Because of the lack of
riparian h,ihilats :md woodlands in general on rile, this hawk is not
expected to nont there.
The northern barrier is not expected to ocwr onsite due ut the Lid
of +uiWblc h~ibi4rt.
Despite routine xarchcs, no borrowing owls ar their burrows were
observed in the course u( any field surveys. The lack ol` suitable
habitat may prcdude this species from occurring on the site.

The scruh and chaparral habitms onsite are generally too dense to
provide adequate foraging habitat for the bggerhead shrike.
Loggerhead shrikes arc quire conspicuous and are routinely looked
(or durin¢ general and focused surve}5. None were found during any
oC the surveys.
Comment #G. Biologists rccognice two types of wildlife movement corridors:
primary and secondary. Primary corridors generally link disjunct
hahikit areas, follow traditional migration routes, or are used to access
specilic .veal within a largo habitat area or home range. Primary
corridors a~,>ically follow major drainages and ridgelines separating
motor drainages. Secondary corridors interconnect primary corridors
through tributary canyons and ridges.
The project sites topography, vegetation composition. and its location
adjacent to other epee space on all sides do not satisfy the
rcyuirumcnis of a wildlii'c movement corridor. The project site does
not afluct wilJlile movement as it does not curtail wildlife access to
other unricvcinpcd areas in any direction.
Comment #S. The :dluvial scruh vegetation on the project Bile occurs within
Cucamonga Creek that is outside the impact zrez and therefore does
not require mitigation. Adverse impacts to existing biological
resources onsite arc adequaleiy mitigated for in the EIR.
Comment #9. Indirect impacts to biological resources adjacent to the project site
ware addressed in the Section 4.5 of the EIR. According to Section
ICI?fi ~tC the CEQA Guidelines, xn ElR must identify mitigation
measures fur each signipcant impact, discuss whether the impact has
been avoided or suhxlantially lessened. and discuss any significant side
effects ul' implememing a mitigation measure. Because no significant
impacts will ocwr io nl'fsite biological resources, mitigation measures
arc not rcyuircd. However, the EIR does contain measures that
would minimize adverse impacts to offsite resources.
Comment #H Section ISI?S of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an F,IR must
include a description of the environment in the vicinity of the project
chat is nu longer than is nucesxary to an understanding of the
.,....,....,.., .l the i;~.,i;o.,<J p~:yect and its alternatives. The
~level~ol' nnuhsis undurtakcn lirr the TT Id475 EIR is umsistcnt with
the CEQA requirements and has proven ut be zdequatc in all EIRs
conducicd by MBA, evrn those challenged in court.

TENTATIVE TRACT 14475
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO COMbEENT
September 1992
During August 1992, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider environmental and
planning issues for Tentative Tract 14475, During the hearing, the Planning Commission received
a comment from a representative of the Sierra Club requesting Nat the Final EIR contain some
consideration of alternative off-site locations for development of proposed vesting tentative tract 14475
(VTT 14475).
This response has been prepazed to address Nat request. At present, Nere remain a number of
undeveloped parcels within Lhe City of Rancho Cucamonga Nat are suitable for residential
development, and unconstrained by Ne environmental factors (such as slope, fuel loading, and
specialized habitat and biota) Nat characterize Ne foothill acreage. However, according to Scott
Murphy (City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Department), none of Nere vacant parcels are zoned
for hillside residential development, which is Ne type of land use proposed in VTT 14475.
As discussed in the Final 'cIR, VTT 14475 is generally consistent wiN boN Ne zoning (Hillside
Residential and Open Space) and general plan (Very Low Density Residential and Open Space)
designations for Ne subject property. Indeed, Ne designation itself has been created by Ne City
specifically for Ne foothill acreage, and is not found in non-foothill locations. Thus, the range of
alternative off-site locations Nat could be considered for Ne proposed use would be limited to foothill
parcels -- properties Nat would exhibit Ne same general physical and environmental characteristics
identified for VTT 14475.
Given Nis background, Ne options far developing VTT 14475 on off-site locations within Ne City
of Rancho Cucamonga are limited to Ne following:
Alternative Hillside Location Within Rancho Cucamonga: would remain consistent
wiN zoning and general plan designations, and would generate environmental effects
similar to those examined in Ne Final EIR for VTT 14475.
Alternative Non-Hillside Location within Rancho Cucamonga: would require
development of a higher density development plan (to be consistent wiN zoning and
general plan designations), or processing of a zone change and general plan
amendment to reduce allowed densities consistent wiN Ne proposed use. Non-hillside
locations would not ofer Ne view opportunities characteristic of the site.
Ths applicant has indicated Nat they do no[ know own any property, hillside or non-hillside within
Ne City of Rancho Cucamonga. However, if Ne City believes Ne hillside acreage [o be sufficiently
constrained as to warrant substantive restrictions on land use Nat go beyond Ne limitations impose)
by zoning and general plan designation, Ne appropriate alternative would be to reassr s Ne relevam
hillside zoning and general plan designations.

recommending denial of the related subdivision map and design review,
the applicant requested a continuance of the EZR ro August 12, 1992.
Wh: le the hearing was continued to August 12, 1992, the main focus of
the heariry was the desi qn nE the subdivision. Following the
subdivision discussion, the EIR 3rtd Vesting Tentative TYact Map were

Di SCUSSION: Since the meeting on July e, 1992, some mrnor changes have
been made to the Mitigation Monitoring Program of the EIR. These
changes, however, do not change the main focus and content of the EIR.
The Mitigation Monitoring Program establishes a timing mechanism to
accomplish, the mitigation measures outlined in the EIR and idenCiE ies

Env it onmentai Impact Report prepared for Vesting Tentative
Tract td 475, a residential subdivision and deli qn review of
71 single family residences on 117 acres of land in the
Hillside Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per acre)
and Open Space Districts, located north of Almond Avenue
between Sapphire and Turquoise Streets - APN: 200-051-07,
55, 56, and 57. Staff recommends certification of the
Subsequent Environmental Impact Report.
aAC KG ROUND: On April 8, 1992, the Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing on the adequacy of the Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the 113-acre residential project. At that time, public
inpu[ on the proiect raised several concerns about sensitive plant and
animal species, 3ischarge of storm drain waters into the Cucamonga Wash,
archeo logical resources, alluvial fan scrub habitat, etc. (see Exhibit
"C"). Additionally, the Commission raised concerns about adequate water
pressure for fire protection. As a reau lt, the Commission continued the
public hearing to allow additional atudi ea and revisions to the EIR to
address these comments.
ANALYSIS: While not required to respond to the cowmen t9 raised at the
meeting of Ap ri1 B, 1992, the Conmission felt it important to consider
those comm~enta in the EZR. Aa a result, the Mitigation Moni^_oring
Program of the EIR has been amended to address the drainage to the
Cucamonga Wash, archaeological standards to be used, protection of
native oak trees, and fencing/posting along the wash. Additionally,
special attention was paid to sensitive/endangered species and fire
protection as Follows and as noted in the EIR:
A. .Sers it ive Species: TRie Commission requested that a "spring survey"
be conducted to determine if sensitive or endangered species were
present nn the buildable portion of the site. Exhibit "F" of this
report contains the results of. the spring survey. Generally, the
biologists conducted field surveys on three separate dates over a
t«o-week period. During these surveys, no gnatcatchers were
obse cued and nne scat from the San Diego horned lizard was found.
While t.h is indicates the presence of a lizard on the mesas, it is

Eelt that this is not significant because the primazy habitat of the
Si zard would be within the Cucamonga Wash. In addition, no other.
sensitive/endangered plant or animal species was observed on the
mesas. It is expeceed that they would al SO be found within the
N83h.
B• Fire Safety: As noted in the EIR, water pumps or pressure tank
systems may be neresaary to achieve adequate water pressure and
flows for fire suppression. This concept is utilized in other areas
o£ the City and has been found to be safe. The minimum standards
outlined in the Wildland Fire Study meet the standards of the 7ancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District and must be mat prior to
construction of the project.
Since the public hearing, staff has rem^ived a letter from the United
grates Uepazcment of the interior, Fish and Wildlife Services (see
Exhibit "0"). The Fish and wildlife Services (kWS) is primarily
concerned with the preservation of coastal sage aczub habitat. It
indicates that 70 apeciea, either listed or proposed as endangered or
Federal candidate species, habitat the coastal sage. In speaking with
the City's consultant, these 70 species are state-wide and no ai gna of
these species (except the horned lizard) were detected on this sit¢.
While the Planning Commission is not required to address the letter
because it was Yeceived after the pu6l is comment period, the Commission
may wish to consider the information as pert of their deliberations.
CEQA PR0CE 53:
A• Mitigation Monitoring: Aa noted in the staff report of April 8,
1992, the EIR contains a Mitigation Implementation and Monitoring
Program (see attached). The program ident if iea the particular
mitigation measures, who is responsible Eor their implementation,
and the timing of implementation. This program provides for checks
and ba Santee, not just at the initial etagea but through the life of
the mitigation measure. The program incorporates the mitigation
measures recosmended by the Commission at their meeting on April S,
1992, plus all previous mitigation measures.
H. Time Limits: Ae previously mentioned, under the prrnisions of the
California Env ironnertal Quality Act (CEQA ), action moat be taken on
an EIA w+.thin one year Eram the date the project app licaticn was
deemed complete, with the poesi6ility of one 90-day extension of
time. At the :.pril e, 1992, PLanning Commission meeting, the
processing of the EIR had reached the one-year mark. With the
hearing tonight, the 90-day extension has been exhaua ted. A9 a
result, the Planning Commission mu et take action tonight to either
certify the adecuacv of the EIR or determine that the EIR is not

If the Commission determines the EIR adequately addresses the
environmental issues and certifies the da;ument, the EIR will then be
used in reviewing the design of any tentative tract map application. Ry
certifying the EIR, the Planning Conmission is not obligated to approve
the. project, but rather, the Commission moat determine whether the

SO &I ECT: F,NVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR VESTING TENTATIVE TRACL 14475
- EA HAMA INVESTMENTS - A public hearing to comment on the
sub__=equent Environmental Impact Report prepared for Vssting
Tentative Tract 14475, a residr_ntial subdivision and design
review of 71 single family residences on 113 ccres of land in
the Hillside Residential (less than 2 dwelling units per

56, AND 57. Staff recommends cert lfication of the
Environmental Impact Report.
HACI(GROUND: Following the submittal of Veeting Tentative Tract 14475,
the City determined that an Environmental Isgact Report (EIR) was
necessary to address adverse environmental impacts which may be created
by the project. Working with Hauer Environmental Servi cesr a scope of
services was prepared outlining the contents of the EIR which was
approved by the Planning Commission. Following approval of the scope of
sere is ¢s, preparation of the draft EIR coamenced and notices were sent
to all affected agencies notifying them than the report was being
prepared and inviting comments on areas for in elusion. After receiving
comments from the agencies and the property owners, the draft EIR was
crrcu lated for public review and conmtent for 45 days. During this time
!.n Ceres ted parties provided written and oral co~ente about the EIR.
Ths Planning Conmission reviewed the EIR and received conmtents during
the public hearings conducted on June 12 and September 11, 1991. These
comments have been incorporated into the final draft EIR.
PIdCJ ECT IMPACTS AND MITIGATIONS: Through comments re c¢1 ve d, site
inspections, and project ceviews, a number of potential impacts have
been identified rn the EIR. Those impacts include alteration of land
form, geology, hydrology, archaeological resources, blologi cal
resources, land use, relevant planning, traffic, and public services and
utilities (see Execu [i ve Summary on pages 7-13 of the EIR). Once they
were iden tiExed, each inq:act was evaluated to determine whether
appropriate mitigations were available to reduce or ell mina to the
i fact s. Where possible, thr_ mitigations have been incorporated into
the development plans. Other mlti gations will be included as conditions
of approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION ST...F REPORT

one of *_he impacts of greatest concern has been fire protection. The
site is located in a high Lire hazard area and, as a result, phase 1 of
a Wi ldland Fire Study (WFS) was prepare3 for the proje et. The WFS
establishes general mitigation measures that must be incorporated .into
the project in order to reduce the firs hazard impact to a less-than-
significant level and allow development to occur (see Appendix D of the
EIR). A more detailed analysis will be conducted with Phase II of the
WFS prior to re cotdation of the Final Tract Map.
ALTERNATIVES: One of the key elements of any EZR is the discussion of a
possible range of alternatives to the project. The EIA outlines four
alternatives (see pages 52-54 of the EIR) to the proposal submitted,
with particular emphasis on minimizing grading impacts. Study "A" is a
-luster development with Iota averaging 0.77 acres (33,Sd1 square
feet). Study "B" is also a clue ter development with slightly smaller
lots than Study "A" averaging 0.67 acres (29, 1E5 equate feet). Hoth
Study "A" and "e" included 73 lots which was consistent with the number
of lots proposed by the applicant. Study "C" proposes the development
of CS estate lots averaging 3.23 acres. Finally the EIR analyzes the
"NO Project" Alternative. The pros and cons of each alternative are
discussed at length in the EIR.
The Design Review Committee (MCNie 1, Melcher, Coleman) r_onsi dared the
project alternatites during the initial review of the project. The
Committee noted that the proposed project and all alternatives would
occupy the entire lower mesa because of the flatter slope of the lower
mesa, and the General Plan and Hillside policies to develop in the less
steep areas. The Committee also noted that the alternatives would have
to be revised to provide secondary access consistent with City policy.
T1iis could require additional streets to he provided across open space
lots, further fragmenting the open apace. The Committee felt that the
proposal might be acceptable iF larger Iota were provided at the
northeast corner of the site. Also, the lot size proposed was
consistent with the lots to the south and would provide an adegssate
transition to the foothills end National Forest. As a result, the
or o3e ct design has been revised to address the Design Review Committee's
comments and the issues raised ir. the EIR.
MITIGATZCN MONITORING: In addition to identifying the potential imparts
and the recommended mitigation measures, the EIR also contains a
comprehensive mi tlgatinn implementation and monitoring program as
required by state law (see Section g starting on page 57). The
mi ti ga tiro implementation monitn ring program identifies the part iculaz
mitigation measures, who is responsible for implementation, end the
timing for completion or implementation of the measures. This
monitoring program offers a check and balance system to ensure that the
mitigation measures are implemented in conjunction with development of
the project.

As outlined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
purpose of this public heating is to determine if the EIR is adequate
Eor certification. More specifics Liy, the hearing should focus on
whether the environmental issues have been identified and if appropriate
and adequate mitigations have been i.nc laded to minimize and/or eliminate
potential adverse impacts connected wi [h the project.
If the PSa nning Commie si on determines that the Environmental Impact
Report is adequate for certification, the F.IR document will be used in
reviewing the proposed traM. If the project is approved, all
mitigation measures outlined in the EIR will becrome part of the
Conditions of Approval for the development.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in
the Inland Valley Dai lv Bulletin, notices were sent to all property

the Cucamonga Ctnyon wort. SM said the survey indicated they ware five acre
of species that may be pteun< and there waa a high prababil ity that the
horned lizard would be present. She aaid it waa euggeatad that a spring
survey might be useful to art ity the presence of the apseLU, but the autvey
wa• not recommartletl a• a formal mitigation measure because the project does
not include any impaet• in the wash. She aaid the report noted that the
prof act will result in tM loo of about SS arrea of chaparral and 25 acres of

Na. Bauer noted that recently there has bean an inereawd smphuL on iha

that iha City invited review by tM United States PLeh and Nildllfe Sarvica
during the last uveral wwke and the department had not reapondsd. Ns. Bauer
agreed with Aeeommendation 5, that iha Cucamonga Narn Dut[ar W fenced prior
to any grading to prevent aeeldental dumplnq into eM wuh. She noted that
they had alrudy •Liminaeed tM word^ 'attempt to' in reference tc protettinq

it would probably enhanew the project.
Mr. Hurphy remarked that Item B waa awn gssmane to tM [rare map [tacit. Ns
old that if tM Caamlwion cart !fled the EIR, than CM tract map could be

Ghat alternative to the tract would De more appropriate, Ghere may bs ways to
battsi msintain the neturel drainage but there would become a time and place
where the drainage would have to be centrollad and channeled into tome typo of
improved structure.
Ma. Sauer strongly supported Stem 9. she agreed Chat routing of drainage from
going into Cucamonga Canyon Wash to either of the other two drainage areas
shown on the plan would be an improvement eo far ae potential impecta to the
trek because the wash has the moat valuabU heDLtat on the site. she

Commieeioner Toletoy asked what mit iget ion meaeutes had Dean formulated for

Hr. Coleman responded that the only mitigation involves Betting aside tome
open apace, including some of the coo etal sage ac rub.
Ccmmieeio ner Toletoy felt that if density were concentrabd on the meo, the
coastal sage scrub area could be left an open area.

Commissioner Vnllatie Baked for a caoeu lizat ion for rationale for Alternative
Layouts A, 8, and C.
Me. Bauer reapondad that their concerns were primarily for fire safety,
preservation of open apace, and protection of resource value. She noted that
all alternatives pulled unite away from the northeast quatlrant, which would be
the highest range of fire hazard. She eaitl they attempted to c[e ate more of a
cluster feeling in Alternat ivea A and B. She ea id they looked at the City
et andarde and tried to des ign some prcj acts which would provide the number of
unite permitted. She noted they looked ai options that may optimize use of
solar energy, redoes vLSiDility of streets, and reduce grading. She said tMy
had a concern wish the larger lot altsrnat ivea because a great tleal of lend is
placed into individual ownerah ip rather than remaining as open apace. She
said that uhan land i• privately owned, ancillary uses are added which detract
from the protection of the habitat and rucurea values. She felt that
Alternat ivea A and 8 era anviro`wantally superior, Ln particular B.
Chairman McNisi opened the public hearing.

the map if they certify the 6IR.
Mr. Coleman remarked that on the original prof act the EIA was cart if tad, Dut
the project was denied. Ns noted that any additional work on the EIA, such a•

" The California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA ) in section 15125
requires [hat an EIR include special emphasis on environmental

concerned about biological surveys being con ucted just prior to

San Bernardino Sage Friends and I recommend that Sahama Invest-
ments Inc. become participants of Natural Communities Conservation
Planning"(NCC P) on coastal sage scrub. The NCCP Acc of 1991,AB 2172,
selected the coastal b riversidean sage scrub plant and animal
community of southern California for its first attempt to implement
this lay. The Conservation Planning area Por this effort includes
northern San Bernardino County and specifically those areas that
still contain alluvial fan sage scrub; including Rancho Cucamonga.
According to The California Natural Diversity Data Base (1987),
.alluvial Fan Vegetation is considered a unique habitat with
high priority fcr preservation. Unfortunately, even with the high
priorzty for preservation_catdgory, the cumuletlve impacts of
urbanization and flood control diversions/ehannelizacions continue
[o push this unique and rareecOlogigal community into extinction.
We remind you that extiction is forever and that ve have a respons-
ibility and reverence for all Life, great and smell.
In a recent phone conversation, 4/1/92, vd[h Bauer Environmental
Services, senior biologist, Dave Levine, I voiced my opinion chat
biological surveys and assessments are inedequatn for this project.
Dave Levine made a statement that the EIR process is a GAME, s'an

Biological surveys and assessments conCained in Appendix C,
Biological Resource Analysis for TT14475, are in my opinion less
than minimal and fail to disclose significant and substantial
evidence concerning sensitive, threatened and endangered species.
As d;sclosed, the biological assesments for TT14475, vere obtained
by surveys on foot and by motor vehicle, on March 26, 1984 and then
revisited on November 15 and 19, 1990. Surveying a site in the
Winter sezson, is no way to obtain accurate biological assessments.

The guessing GAHE of biological assessments fro^ Bauer Environ-
mental Services is over. The Biological Resource Analysis foz
TT14475 is inaccurate, misleading and fails to disclaar significant
substantial evidence of plant and wildlife. Since 1990, the sage
sparrow, rufus-crowned sparrow and horned lark have ell hecome
candidate-2 species. All three species occur oa site. TT14475,
Appendix C fails to disclose this information in contezt. San
Bernaedino Sage Friends and I recommend Chet this significant
information be included and that aaaeasments of Sensitive Species
be corrected.
The EIR for thin project, TT14475, fails to address and recog-
nize the cumulative biological impacts on the uni ve and rare
alluvial an sage scrub and related communities, v is a acts all
plant and wildlife on site. From Big Tujunga Wesh, Loa Angeles, in
cha western moat zegion,of Che Snn Gabriel Mountaiaa to Sierra
Ridge, San Berardino in the east, ALL ALLUVIAL FAN SAGE SCRUB HABITAT
IS PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT.
San Bernacdlno Saga Priends and I recognize tha challenging task
concerning all involved in this project, taking into consideration
the risks of wildfire, tlmoda and earthquskes to humsn life.
Unfortunately, the deelgn of this project did not fully recognize
the environment, or go far enough Ln protecting the rare alluvial
fan plant and wildlife community. All lot deslgna would destroy
this unique end rare ecaaystem through fragmentation and divers:cn
of hydrology.
The TT14475 project verra.nts new indepth SPRING surveys to
obtain accurate biological information of significance. Tvo
endangered plant species, the Santa Ans voollq-a tar (Eriasczum
densifolium) and the Slender-horned spineflover (Dodecehema lept_.-
ceras) may be found on site ar potential habitat is present. As
of date, 4/5/92, the TT14475 site has not been surveyed in the

The California gnatcatcher is a State and Federally recognized
C-2 species that is presently availing listing as a Endangered
Species. Historically and currently the California gnatcatcher
occurs on the project site (see Dr.Atvood'a Statue Review 1990).

Dear Mr. Murphy:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed Che referenced
documene dated August 1991. We provide the following comments for your
consideration during the project approval process. Unfortunately, the Service
was not provided the opportunity Co review previous planning documents for
this project. Several things concern the Service about Che proposed
development, including site plan, habitat fragmentation, and the direct loss
of 58 acres of coastal sage scrub habitat, not Lo mention the unstated
indirect Loss of coastal sage scrub habitat.
The al cernacives identified are not significant improvements over the
preferred site deve lopmenc plan. They all have significant impacts on coastal
sage scrub hob i[aC by direct impec es, indirect impacts and fragmentation. A
feasible alternative not considered, that should be, to reduce coastal saga
scrub habitat would be to concentrate the development along the eastern
portion of the property, encompassing the disturbed area, chaparral and some
coastal sage scrub.
i?ab uac frogmen tae ion cons tiro cos au lnd irect :apart t vug`. avc ;dual spacial
extirpation from fragmented habitat. Fragmentation and•loss of habitat is the.
primary cause of species extinction and extirpation, especially in southern
California. Our suggested site development plan Would reduce the amoune of
hah trot fragmentation and loss. Fragmentation of habitat affects wildlife
movemene and dispersal. It also crea eel animal-human conflicts, thereby,
causing additional impacts to wildlife and habitats, such as fire protection
and pees,
The proposed protect will eliminate all 58 acres of coastal sage sc-ub habitat
on site. Be reminded that costal sage sc rob hah teat Ls considered a high
priority Eor preservation by California Department of Fish and Game and the
Service. This hah teat lnc lodes approximately ?0 species that are either
listed or proposed as endangered nr Federal candidate species. It also
~ a ~ E~iBil o ,.
7~8/9i
Hz. Scoct Murphy
includes State Listed species. It Ss prudent to consider these candidate
species in planning to reduce the potential to list them as endangered or
threatened, Pursuant section 4(7) of the Endangered Species Ace of 1973, as
amended, [he Service can emergency list any species that wa feel has a
significant risk to its ve 11-being exists. Immediate protection is provided
for 240 days.
In summary, [he proposed site development Ls not compatible with long-tern
survival of wildlife species due to fiagmentetion of habitats. In addition,
Che complete elimination of coastal sage scrub habitat on the project site
could impact up to 70 candidate species associated with this habitat.

SUBJECT: Results of focused surveys far the California gnatcatcher and San Diego horned
iizard on Tentative Tract 14475, Ciry of Rancho Cucamonga. San Bemardino
County, California.
Dear Ms. Bauer:
This letter report describes the findings of a survey for the Califomia gnatcatcher (Polio^otila
californica) and San Diego horned lizard (p~mosoma coronatum blainvillei) on TT 14475, located
in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, Califomia. The survey was conducted
by Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) Cor Bauer Environmental Services to determine the
potential presence of the California gnatcatcher and San Diego homed lizard on the site.
Results of the directed surveys are presented separately below.
California Gnatcatcher
The California gnatcatcher is currently a proposed subspecies for federal ILsting az threatened or
endangered and a California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) Species of Special Concern.
A CDFG Species of Speciai Concern is a species threatened with extirpation within the state of
California. but that has not been placed on state or federal endangered or threatened lisu. On
September 17, ]991 in the Federal Register, the USFWS published the proposal to list the
gnatcatcher as threatened or endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The
USFWS haz up to one year from this date within which to make a decision on the listing. Both
the CDFG and the USFlVS have the authority to emergenry list the Califomia gnatcatcher as
threatened or endangered at any time, if circumstances warrant.
California gnatcatchers are obligate, non-migratory residenu of coastal sage scrub; but individuals.
especially juveniles, will occasionally forage in adjacent habitats of other types. This species ranges
from the Pnlos Verdes Peninsula, south inw San Diego County and northern Baja California, and
generally a,curs in coastal sage scrub vegetation below 1,0(10 feet elevation above sea level.
Individuals or paus are less common in dense stands of waztal sage scrub, preferring habitat with
a more open pattern of vegetation. Population estimates indicate that there are approximately
L&)U-2,000 pairs of gnatcamhers remaining (Atwood t990j in the United States. Declines are
attributable ut loss of coastal sage scrub habitat through urban and agricultural development.

A review of existing information in the vicinity of the project site, including a review of the
CaliFornia Natural Diversity Data Base, revealed that no historic records occur for California
gnatcatchers within the vicinity of the project site. The only reliable, wnfirtned, and recent
observation of California gnatcatchers in San Bernardino County are limited [o a single bird seen
m ]990 near the confluence of Cajon Wash and Lytle Creek Wazh (Atwmd 199(1) approximately
16 miles east of the project site. California gnatcatchers have been largely or entirely extirpated
from San Bernardino County.
Directed surveys for the California gnatcatcher were conducted by Project Manager(Ecologist, Ann
M. Johnston according to the February 1992 Southern California Coastal Sage Scrub, Scientific
Review Panel Coastal Sage Scrub Survey Guidelines. Surveys were conducted on April 24, May
1 and 8, 1992. Weather conditions were generally mild, with a temperature range of approtdmately
65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Bird surveys were conducted between 7:(p AM and 11:30 AM. Slow,
methodological surveys were conducted through likely California gnatcatcher habitat. Tape
recordings of California gnatcatcher songs were played at moderate volumes during the surveys
to solicit responses (torn these birds in appropriate habitat.
No California gnatcatchers were oMerved during any of the three survey visits. California
gnatcatchers are not expected to occur on the site because the site u outside the existing known
range of the species and lacks suitable habitat.
Because no California gnatcatchers were found on the project site, or are expected to occur on
site, no adverse impacts to this species will occur as a result of project implementation.
San Diego Horned Lirard
The San Diego horned lizard is a Category 2 federal candidate species for listing as endangered
or threatened. A Category 2 candidate species for federal listing as threatened or endangered;
includes taxon being considered for listing, but for which insufficiem data are available to support
a proposal for listing at this time. The San Diego homed lizard is one of four recognized
subspecies of the coast horned lizard. This lizard occurs in a variety of habitats, including eoaztal
sage scrub, grassland. woodlands, and montane coniferous forests. It prefers sandy nails and relies
heavily on harvester ants (Poggnomyrmex spp. and Messor spp.l as an important part of its diet
(Pianka 1986).
Surveys for the San Diego horned lizard were wnducted by walking random transacts within
suitable habitat in search of active lizards and horned lizard scats. In adr!ition, the presence of
nommensal species, such as harvester ants and small burrowing mammals, were identified. The
surveys Cor the San Diego horned lizard were conducted on May l and 8, 1992, by staff ecologist
Michael K Moore and Ms. Johnston between the hours of 8:IX1 AM and ] L00 AM.
One horned lizard scat was observed un the project site during the focused survey. The open and
sandy portions o(the coastal sage scrub and chaparral habitats within the development boundary
do provide suitable habitat (or this species, However, much of the existing coastal sage scrub and
chaparral is dense and may be of limited value for the San Diego horned lizard.
Becatse of the availability of additional suitable habitat in the immediate vicinity nl the protect
site, the removal of suitable hahitat by project development would result in a hxal impact, though
not significant, to the San Diego horned lizard.

This Ixal impact could be minimized by protecting adjacent suitable habitat. In accordance with
Mitigation Measure #34 of the Final Environmental Impact Report of Tentative Tract 14475.
34. The Homeowners' Assxia[ion for TT 14475 shall be responsible for ensuring ghat aB
on- and uf6site open space areas are buffered in a manner to discourage
encroachment by residents. Measures shall include but not be limited to (1) fencing
off the sandy wash to discourage off-road vehicles and other human use of this area;
and (2) posting of interpretive signs a[ the wash edge to educate residents about the
sensitivity o[ this habitat for plants and animals. The Homeowners' Association shat
be responsible for posting all trails with signs stating that no riding u permitted off of
project trails, off of Big Tree Road, or in the Cucamonga Canyon Wazh. Trail systems
shall be designed to protect theses areas from human use, the enforcement of which
shall be the responsibility of the Homeowners' Association as weB az the City, and
shall not terminate at the boundaries of open space areas. The applicant shall
incorporate, and the Homeowners' Association enforce, decd restrictions that regulate
the management of household pets and the operation of motorized off•road vehicles.
In a letter From Mr. Brooks Harper of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to Ma Scott Murphy of
the Ciry of Rancho Cucamonga, dated May 6, 1992, Mr. Harper stated that "the complete
elimination of coastal sage scrub on the project site could impact up to 70 candklate species
associated with this habitat". It is MBA's opinion thai thu statement is misleading. The 70
candidate species mentioned in this statement refers to the diversity of sensitive plant and wildlife
species rewrded throughout waztal sage scrub subassociationa in San Diego, Orange, Loa Angeles,
Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. The project site does not provide the diversity of habitats
nor is it within the recorded range of most of these 70 candidate species. Those few sensitive
species potentially present in the coastal sage scrub on the site have been previously addressed
in the EIR or in this letter.
Please wntact either of the undersigned if you have any questions or comments.

General Plan issues
The cr oject is inconsistent with the Rancho Cucamenga
Genera: Plan/Open Space District. For example, at EIR page 37,
t'ne Cenerai Plan limits density in [he open space district co cr.e
res tdenc ial unit per 40 acres. ZC also appears chat the boundary
between the open space district and hillside residential uses has
net 'teen defined.
Also, the Coordinated Resource Management Planning Team
"CRMPT"1 Fc ochill Communities Protective Greenhelt Program
ir.d icates at EiR page 44 chat the project is classified as Zone A
and Zcne 9, extreme and High Fire Hazards, and that the CRMFT
reccmmends no development in this zone.
Also, i am concerned about the lack of water pressure. The
Panning Commission discussed [his ac its April 8, 1992 hearing,
'out Z am not aware of any engineering cr hydrology studies that
.early indicate sufficient water pressure.
A so, at page 44 the EIR states chat the nearest United
States ?.,rest Service facility located at Cay Canyon. This ';
inaccurate; that facility burner down some years aqo. Since

Guidelines c:omulgated by the Natural Communities Conservation
Planning (^NCCP") Scien.tiEic Review Panel ('SRP') recognizes some

two spec'_es and did not provide a biotechnical report indicating

RE• VTT 14475 - Last Design Review Comments
Dear Brad:
Thank yo:E for meeting with Tom Winfield and myself last
week.
As per our conversation immediately following the Planning
Commission workshop on May 27th, I am sending you a copy of
the minutes of the Last DRC meeting at which Commissioners
Tolstoy and Melchor were present. This was the last of seven
Design Review committee meetings and the final comments were
as follows:
"The committee reviewed the revised
architectural and ait• plena and was pleased
with the changes made by the applicant to
address the Commitees previous comments. The
committee recommended approval of the
project..."
Thank you for your assistance during this process. If you
have any ideas or recommendations for th_ July 8th meeting,
please call either Tom or myself. Thank you again.

Staff Co~ev te:
The applicant has provided revised plans to address the Coc~nittees
coa-nen ts. In reviewing the plans, the Committee should consider the
f oliowin q:
Arch itec`u re:
1. The appllcant has pre-: ided plans that lower the roof pitch of the
units previously reviewed. The applicant would like to use some
plans with the steeper roof pit che9 in ehe project to create
variety and interest. These units would be pLa red an less
prumin ent locations (i.e., interior lots).
2. The applicant will be provl ding samples of roof ti le and stone
types far Committee review.
SSte Plan:
i. The appllcant has mod if led the grading of the site to create a more
natu ra ll zed appearance through gentler slopes. Staff Ss continuing
to work with the appllcant on Eu rt her refinements.
2. The northeast corner has been redesigned, eliminating the two
cul-de-sacs by shifting the Skyline Road connection between the two
cul-de-sacs to their north ends. Where the new Lot 42 is now,
there was formerly two oddly-shaped Lots. The house plotting on
Lots 36-64, 63 and 44 is identLcal to the former plan, and the
house on Lot 62 has been shifted sll ghtly to the south of the
former. In addition, the access to Lot "M" (the future CCWD
rese r•+o it tank) was shifted to utilize Lots "N" (Forest Service
Road). The effect of these changes is:
a) That the impact of grading to areas in excess of 20 percent
has not changed (because Che house on Lot 42 wasn't moved).
Nv slgnlEicant change In impact of grading to areas between 15
and 20 percent.

Dear Nr. NcSiel
The Department of Fish and Game (Department) appreciates
[his opportunity to comment on the FEIR for Tentative Tract tio.
17Ai5, Sahama im~estments, Inc. The FEIR addresses development
of i1 single-family homes on 113 acres of land within the City
and immediately abutting the southern boundary of the San
Bernardino \ational Forest. The project would affect
approximately 58 acres of coastal sage scrub, 23 acres of
chaparral, and 9 acres of alluvial scrub.
Coastal sage scrub and alluvial scrub represent habitats
which are considered a high priority for preservation by the
De pa rt.ment because 65X-90X of once-existing habitats have been
destroyed, and equally as important, more than 70 species either
Iisted or proposed for listing by the State/Federal governments
or considered species of concern are found within these areas.
The Department is concerned that the proposed project will
result in localized reductions in both coastal sage scrub and
al Livial scrub Chat will further fragment and isolate these
important habitats from surrounding similar habitat. In
.addition, alternatives considered in the FEIR did oat address
the issue of habitat fragmentation. The Department recommends
that habitat fragmentation and human disturbance could be
'substantially reduced if the project was redesigned to cluster
development in the south central portion rf the project which
c :nt.ains predominantly disturbed vegetation.

enhancing open space. He suggested that open fencing may be considered to
pre s¢rvs [he view from one lot to another, creac!ng a sense of natural terrain
and wide open space. He net ed that Deer Creek is an example of open fencing
helping to preserve a feeling of spaciousness. He felt that even thou qh much
of the land will be rn individual lots, it will not necessarily b¢ built
upon. He noted rhos the grading Eor placement of homes antl streets is only a
small portion of she site. He felt that Alternative Two may be better Chan
Alternative one bet au ae rt allowed more open space to the rotth. He commented

TENTATIVE TRACT 14475
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT TO THE PLAIVTVP.VG COMMISSION
Jerre 1992
Introduction
On 8 April 1992, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to considtt certification of the Final
EIR for Tentative Tract 14475. Shortly before the hearing, the Planning Commission had received
correspondence from Leeona Klippstein raising the possibility that the site might be host to me
California gnatcatcher (Polioptila caiifornica). Although the Final E[R wntained results from an
earlier November survey drat had wncluded the site did not have habitat suitable for the gnatcatcher,
the Planning Commission required thaz a new survey be conducted to achieve the higher level of
certainty obtainable during spring. In addition, sevttal new mitigation measures were suggested for
consideration, and thz Planning Commission raised a number of questions concertting fire safety.
In response, the Focused Biological Survey was undertaken, additional research was conducted
ccnceming fire safety and the recommended mitigation [treasures. This submittal presents the
Comprehensive Mitigation Implementation and Monimring PI m, as revised to incorporate the resulting
information.
Habitat Values
As anticipated, the focused spring biological survey confirmed Nat the site Ties outside the known
range of the gna[catcher, and lacks suitable habitat for the species (please see the attached letter report
from Michael Brandman Associates dated 18 May 1992). Na evidence of California gnatcatchers were
observed onsite, nor are the gnatcatchtts exported m occur. Evidence of the San Die¢o horned
lizard (in the form of scat) was observed on the project site during the focused survey. As discussed
in the Final EIR, the removal of suitable habitat by project developrtxnt would resua in a local,
though not significant, impact to the San Diego hortxd lizard. This local impact will be attenuated
by the availability of suitable habitat in the vicinity of the project site (including Cucamonga Canyon
Wash, which will remain as open space), and by mitigation measures to prated the adjacent wash and
national forest boundaries, as ptcvided in measures X26, 34, 36, and 43).
Fir
It was noted in the Final EIR that the proposed siting of Reservoir 7A within Lot 75 would result in
borderline water pressures for Lots 47 through 53, necessitating on-site pump and pressure tank
systems for these lots. During the 8 April hearing, the question was raised as to whether this
arrangement would be sztisfactory, particularly given the location of these lots in an area of extreme
Flre hazard. As noted during the public hearing, the WildlatW Fire Safety Reoort will establish
minimum acceptable water pressures at fire hydrants upon which tract approval will be contingent
These minimums may be achieved through various means (including on-site pump and pressure tank
~ 32
systems), provided Nat performance meets established standards. In reexamining fire safety, new
emphasis was placed on Ne importance of measures to maintain fire pro[ection Nroughout Ne life of
Ne veer. As a result, a new mitigation measure has been added (measure M50), m emote proper
maintenance of fuel modification plans, to prohibit future uses and materials Nat might compromise
fire safety, and to articulate responsibility for ensuring Nat Nese steps are taken.
Afitleation Plan
Finally, az is evident in Ne attached Mitigation Plan, s number of revisions have been made in
response [o written comments submitted by I.ceona Klippstein. In addition to completion of Ne
focused biolcgical surveys described above, tnodificatioro include (a) a new requirement Nat all
drainage be directed ieto the Almond Imuceptor Channel (eliminating Ne previously proposed cul•:ert
draining into Cucamonga Canyon Wash), (b) clarification Nat SOPA certification stardards, az well
az procedures outlirred by Ne Native American Heritage Society, shall apply to archaeologists working
on Nis site. (c) stronger measures m ensure protection of native west live oak trees, and (d) a
requirement Nat buffer sabacks, fencing and signing to protect Cucamonga Canyon Wash be in place
prior to Ne start of grading.

RECCIl~70ASION
The Planning Commis aion recommends that the City Council approve Vesting
Tentative Tract 14475 and the Design Review of the units through
adoption of the attached Resolution e.
ABSTMCT
This item is being appealed by "Priends of the Foothills", a non-profit
California public corporation, in response to the Planning Comai ss ion's
approval of the project. "Priends of the Foothills" have expressed
concern with the environmental impacts of the pzooosed project as
contained in the related Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report.
l See Exhrbit "A".)
BACIIGROOND
On Febc nary 2R, 1992, Sahama Investment au Msitted plans Eor a
residential subdivision for 96 singles family residences on 113 acres of
land at the northwest corner of the City. Following the various eta Ef
reviews, the project was scaled back to 73 unite for presentation to the
Design Review Committee. The app Sication was reviewed Sy the Design
Review Commi ties on 6 separate occasions and by the Planning Commission
cn 3 separate occasions. Through each of these reviews, revisions have
Deen r. equested• The applicant has revl9ed the plans, Eor a total of 66
units, to address the concerns raised during the public hearings,

determined that the project met the intent of the Hillside Development
Ordinance and addressed the environmental issue9 raised in the Final
Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) prepared for the site.
DzscassxoN
In reviewing the appeal letter sut.aitted For the project, no issues have
been specifically identified pertaining to the subdivision design.
Under the California Environmental Quality Aot (CEQA ), a project cdn not
be approved until the environmental determination has been made for the
project. Because the SEIR was appealed, the tentative tract must
accompany the SEIR. The SEIR, once certified, ie used to analyze the
subdivision design to determine if adequate measures have been
incorporated into the design or placid as conditions of approval on the
project to mitigate potential impact to a level of leas than
significant.
With the many changes to the planar Che project reflects the
enviroruoental sensitivity addressed in the SEIR. The project represents
a combination of two alternatives identified in the SEIR to bring about
a project that the Planning Commission believes addresses the
environmental concerns of the area and the Development Code and the
General Pian requirements. As a result, the application was approved by
the Planning Commission.

Dear Mrs. Adams;
i'11sod&~fsbs_esQChills, a non-profit California public

Commission's approval of the above cited Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) and associated Tract Map 14475. Please find
enclosed a check for $126.00, the City's fee for our formal
appeal of the action to the City Council.
We believe that the EIR is not a 611~]9190L one ae
defined by the California Ernironmental Quality Act (CEQA),
and summarize our objections in an attachment to this letter.
We ask that the City Council conduct a public hearing to review
and consider these objections and any otheca that may he offered
by the public. Friends of the Foothills asks that the City
Council revoke and reverse the Planning Commission's approval of
the EIR and associated Tentative Tract 14475.

1. The :.IR fails to adequately discuss or compare how the
biological resources may be negatively impacted by the
various alternatives (see Section 5.0 draft EIR). Nor
does the EIR or the administrative record explain in detail
as required why the Env iconmentally Superior Alternative,
Study B, was rejected. "(Alternatives and the ~gona wby
ShEY_wg5g_L.£~SSS&~ must be discussed in the EIR in
sutficient detail to enable meaningful participation and
criticism by the public'. (Laurel eeighte Imvt4ygm~O4
A$$441~~14tL7t._BSg P..fC (1988) 47 Ca1.3d 376, 405, our
underlining),
2. Two days (Nov. 15 and 19, 1990) are not adequnte to search
for sensitive or rare plants species. Spring surveys,
during early, middle and late months should have been
conducted, and the results discussed in the EIR, The
single day study (Mar. 26, 1904) is out-of-date and
inadequate.
3. EIR failed to address plant species Aatraealua htAU024011
and 8atcae~yg p~j~jsnyjig, both known to occur in the
near region.
This subject EIA is a Protect EIR rather than a E1;491~ID
EIR. While one can cel:• solely on known Native Species
Database or published literature for a program EIR,
consultants are required to conduct site-specific searches
for sensitive species during pcoj ect ESRS. Even though
site-specific studies were required for tbia project EIR,
cons ul rants did not conduct any for the California Aed-
aided Garter Snake, merely stating that it 'may be
present" (App. C:7); nor the Western Pond Turtle, stating
only that it 'may be present in the drainage...';
nor the Arroyo Toad, saying only that a 'focused Spring
survey is needed.."
5. The EIR is incomplste and ~p1Zt;ty when ie treats some
species of Special Concern (Western Spadefoot Toad, the
western Pond Turtle and San Diego Eorned Lizard) and yet
omits others of the same or greater California Dept. of
Fish and Game status, e.g. the Burrowing Owl, Loggerhead
Shrike, Orange-Throated WhipTail, Cooper's 8awk and
Northern Harrier Hnwk.
Failed to conduct wildlife movement studies even though
such studies are normally done to measure a project's
possible impact on the movement (CEpA Guidelines, App. G).
The Chair of the Planning Commission stated in the record
l b5
Summary of Objections - Page Two
teat pe lived in the foothills, and did not think wildlife
movement would be impacted. Findings must be made based
upon substantial evidence in the record.
7. Other topics that should have been addressed (see CEQA
Guidelines, App. G) but were not ace:
a. BY dr ology and p[oj ect's effect on the aquif ee
b. Conflict with environmental goals in community
c. Contamination of public water supply
d. Increase concentration of pact of population
e. Conflict with recreational uses in the area
8. EIR (App.C:ll-12) nor the record does not mitigate for the
potential lose of sensitive species, the rare Alluvial
form of Riversidian Coastal Sage Shrub or related Shrub
that may occur in the project area on project
implementation. EIR or Yecord does not contain the required
"substantial evidence' for the findings listed at App.C:B-
12. (Public Resources Code Section 21081.5 and CEpA
Guidelines 15091 [b)). EiR incorporate mitigations into the
project or specifically reject teem ae infeasible based upon
substantial record (public Resources Code Section 21081).
9. The study for the EIR did not examine or mill gate for the
sensitive plant and animal species adjacent to the project
site that may suffer negetive impacts (including
accumulative impact a) on project implementation. We call
your aetention to the requirement from public Reaourc;B
C4dS~^S4i14D_?11ii: 'A complete asseeament of fauna and
flora within and adiacSnY (our underlining) to the project
area, with emphasis upon sensitive and critical
habitat". .'A diacuasion of direct, indirect, accumulative
impacts expected to adversely affect biological resources
with specific measures to offset such impact'.
10. EIR does not mitigate for losses of ceaouecea due to
accumulative effects.
11. The subject EIR does not an alternative Bite for the project
that would reduce impacts. (SD0~.4Y8~ino vallev~ydybsB
gaiety v~~S3p_94tBOL~1ilQ) (198!) 155 Ca1.App.3d 738, 731).
12. EiR did not take into account the "Basic Bealth, Safety
and General Narefare" of the people. The people of
California have protected the adjoining National Forest for
their enjoyment. Open apace should have been addressed
ae general welfare to the community by protecting more
viable habitat for wildlife moving between the project area
and the national forest.
lie
Summary of Objections - Page Three
13. The Accumulative Impacts and Growth-Inducing Section (6.0)
does not show how this project will growth induce or
otherwise future projects. A "Summary of Projections'
and other requirements must be met. (CEpA Guidelines Sect.
15130(a)(1)(b). (dings County F$rm Buleau v. CiYy_,~

S:fi11f4iD1fi (1988] 47 Ca1.3d 376).
14. Friends of the Foothills, and we believe airy other
reasonable and objective peraor. reading the EIR, cannot
tell the depth and diversity of the plant and animal
species and sensitive habitaLa that are at risk when Lhis
project is undertaken. ("the EIR does not contain the
required sufficient degree of analysis to provide
decisionmakera with information to allow them ko
intelligently take account of env ironmtntal conaequencea."
(S3O_9ELD.a[dino yallgy Audu6Qn society v. San BLLI1a14ea!J
(1984) 155 Ca1.App.3d 738, 731).
15. It is not clear from the administrative record whether or
not the City of Rancho Cucamonga has conducted its own,
independent review of this DBIR. ~,':he agency should
document their own) "independent evaluation and analysis"
prior to releasing documents for public review. (Peoole~
~Qypty of~stD 62 Ca1.App.3c~ at 775 [133 Cal. Rptr. 389,
398]).
16. The findings leading to this approval were not based upon
"substantial evidence" in the record (CEpA Guidelines,
Section 15384). On the contrary, the p~p~ of aitr
specific studies of species equal in statue to those
actually a:amined, and the ~;p~ of a detailed discussion
of accumulative effects, points out that EIR should have
been redone and brought into compliance with CEpA. The EIA,
lacking these studies and discussion, failed to meet the
..IR's purpose of an "environmental alarm bell'
(SfiDA.iD94 County wEfer nietrict v GQunty of Oranee
(1981) 118 Ca1.App.3d 818, 822).

Associate Tree Removal Permit No. 92-Ofi. (Continued from
August 12, 1992.)
aACKG ROUND: on July B, 1992, the Planning Commis eion conducted a public
hearing to consider the proposed 77 lot subdivision and the accompanying
desi 9n review of the residences. The Coms~iseSOn had a Aesolution of
Denial before ehem because of remaining concerns about [he placement of
lots and units within the northeast corner of the site, an area in
excess of 75 percent slope. During the public hearing, the applicant
requested the Pianninq Commission continue she Stem to allow them the
opportunity to respond to Ghe Commission's concerns. As a reau lt, the
item was continued to August 72, 1992, at which time the applicant
presented alternative subdivision designs.
On August 12, 1992, the applicant presented two subdivision design
notions for the Commission's consideration. The first option proposed
the same street configuration as the original submittal but provided 2-
acre lots at the northeast corner of she site. The option resulted in
the elimination of 4 lots from the previous submittal (67 lots
propoaedl• The second option shifted the northernmost attest to the
south, provided 2-acre lots in the northwest corre r, and provided an
open space easement over the rear of the lots. This option resulted In
the eli mina tint. of 5 lots for a total of 66 lots.
After reviewing the proposals and considering public testimony, the
Convnission felt that Option 2 mare closely addressed their previous
nonce rns. The Commission did, however, state that the open space area
should be extended along the east boundary to lot 48. In order to allow
the detailed plans to 6e reviewed by staff prior to Conmission
ions ids tali on, the Planning Commission continued the application rq
September 23, 1992.

A. Revised Plans: The applicant has revised the tract map and
Tk tai led Site/Gra ding Plans fo: fifi single family lots. The plans
have been modified Erom the previous submittal as follws:
1. The northern street (Street "G") has lien shifted roughly
70 feet south, thereby pulling units away from the steeper
sl opes•
2. The total number of units has been reduced by 5, fora total
of 66 units. All 5 units were removed from the northeast
corner of the site.
3. The remaining lots in the northeast corner (lots 37-45)
range in size from C.8 acres to 1.3 acres. This is
different from the 2-ar_re lot sizes indicated at the meeting
nn August 12, 1992. This has been done Eor two reasons:
a. The Community Trail has been pulled out of the steeper
areas. If the lots were left in their configuration
shown on August 12, the lots would have been bisected
by the Community Trail..
b. As an open space easement, property owners cou id
remove the foils ge nr let animals roam that portion of
the lot, thereby destroying the natural area. The
proposal locates the open space within a Se tte red lot
that will be dedicated as open space. The open apace
area ranges in width from 70 to 260 feet.
H. Public Versus Private Straeta: As indicated in the April R, 1992,
staff report, the issue of public ve taus private streets has
pro•~i ded much discussion with this project. Because of the
concerns of pollee safety, staff maintains that public streets
should be required for this project. There has in the past,
however, been statements made by the Commission that this may be
the appropriate 7.oca Lion to use private streets. As a result, two
Resolutions of Approval have been provided for the Commission's
conaide ration - one approving the tract with public streets and one
approving the tract with private streets.
G Tents Cive Tract Map: Previ wsl y, the applicant had provided a
Tentative Tract Map that depicted the private streets and public
trails as easements over the proposed Lote. ee ca use this was
contrary to City policy, staff requested the applicant provide an
alternative Tentative Trace Map that. depicted the streets within an
irrevocable offer of dedication and the community trails as
de di cst ions to the City. The latest submittal to the City does
provide the dedications and offs ra of dedication requeate d. The
applicant has in di ra red that they will not be pursuing the
easements for street and trail pu rpr a:a.

D. Sidewalks: In the staff report dated April A, 1992, staff
expressed the desire to maintain sidewalks on at 1¢aet one aide of
the street, consistent with past Commission policy. This request
is due to the public safety concern because of the street grades
and curvature within the project. In reviewing this issue with Che
Design Review Committee, the Committee expressed a desire to
provide a street section that was as unobtrusive as possible and,
therefore, recommended against providing sidewalks. Staff feels
that, at a minimum, sidewalks should be provided up Skyline Drive
to Stzeets "D" and "E" to serve the future development.
RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission certifies the Final
Subsequent Enviromnental Impact Report for Vesting Tentative Tract
14475, staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine whether
public or private streets ahou ld be used within the subdivision and
adopt the corresponding Resolution of Approval. Additionally, staff
recommends that the Planning Com~i aslon approve Tree Removal Permit
No. 92-06 and approve the Design Review for Vesting Tentative Tract
14475 through adoption of tine attached Resolution.

Scott Murphy presented the staff report.
Commise inner He LCher asked iE staff still recommentled that action on the
Environmental Impact Report be continued.
Mr. Murphy stated Ghat the Environmental Impact Report (EIA) has been
completed, but the intention was to keep it with the tract. He aaitl no
resolution had been prepared to certify the EIR.
Chairman HcNiel opened the public hearing
Attorney Stephanie Scher, Erown, Winfield 6 Canzoner i, 300 South Grand Avenue,
Suite 1500, Loe Angeles, stated her firm represents deve lopes ae well ae
acting as city attorneys for several cities. She eeid she acre as City
Attorney for La Canada Flintridge and Palos Verdes Eetatee, which are both
very hilly communities. She commented she had significant experience in
dealing with hillaitle ordinances antl helped write the La Canada NLl leide
Ordinance. She remarked that the development process Ln Rancho Cucamonga ie
unusual in that the Planning Commies inners are involved in [he Dee icn Aoview
Comm itteee prior to a project's being preeentetl to Che !u it Commission. She
remarked that during ^_he Design Review process Eour of the five Conmieaionera
hatl en opportunity to comment and the developer hatl matle many requested
changes. she remarked that the map preaentetl to the Commission in April 1992
was recommendetl for approval by the Design Review Committee. She felt U,e
Ccmmiasion moat took at the entire Bite and recognLze that the developer has a
constitutional right to develop the entire parcel. She cited a united States
Supreme Cou ct case (Lucas va. South Carolina) regarding circumetancee under
which a public encity can prohibit development on a site. She said those
Planning Ccmmieeion Hinute9 ~• puguat 12, 1992
~ ~3 ExHi~ir '.C „
instances ere limited to nuisanceer which have been defined ae those areas
which would cause a danger to human beings. SEe ea id the Supreme Court
spec if icaliy did not allow prohibition of development where ihexe would only
be a benefit to an ecological pr¢eerve. She indicated the Supreme court had
commented that in cuch a ease, the public should purchase the land at fair
market value. She ac knowledged that the application covers some land with
a avers topography, but felt the only area which would justify being a nuisance
would Ae the cucnmonga wash where flooding ie a potential. She said that
deva lopment on elopes over 20 percent or in the area abutting the National
Fareat would no[ be a nuisance under tredit Tonal development etandarde. She
observed t at the California coctts have inherently agreed with the etandarde
of the Un_ted States Supreme Court. She ea id there ie a law that states a
public entity may not reduce the number of housing units in order to mitigate
an impact if there is any ocher mitigation possible. She said the California
Environmental Quality Act fCEQA) epee ifically stelae that CEQA dose no[ give
any additional power to ciG Tee just Decease there may be enviromnent al
impact e. She believed that the map, ae submitted, meets all coda raga iremsnis
and would have to be approved if there were a mandate action, but commented
that Sahama Lnveetmenta L willing to work with the city. Shs acid they have
tried to work with the spec if is concarre dealing with the nort heaet corner.
She said she had done a lot of projects in htl is ids areas and she felt Ghis to
be one of the moat seneit the projects she had Been because ndjuetmente were
made to be sane itive to the topography. She felt that a t:emendcue amount of
mieinformat ion had been presented to the commission, particularly w»:h regard
to the environmental review prceeee and the effect of the National Mteat ae
it abuts the property. She thought the intent of ton ight'e hearing wee to
focus on design, Dut naked that she have a right to atltltaee those comments if
they should De raised later on in the hearing.
Steve Morton, 5ahama Invaetmente, 10790 Civic Center Drive, Suits ::~!0, Rancho
Cucamonga, showed exhibits of the topography of the site. In ar effort to
address comments presented at the previous workshop, Hr. Horton pc•.sen[ed two
alternat Tues. He commented that on Alzernative One the northea et '-orner Lo[e
were tloubied in size, decreasing the grading on lots and prr..iding more
natural open apace. He eeid those chsngea rasa lied in 67 lots, a ~~a let ion of
5 lots from the original proposal. Hs indicated that the road Ln eh~~
nort beast sari ion had Deen moved south and an open apace easement Ln favor o:
she city was proposed on Alta:net ive Two, with n reduction of one additional
lot to 66.
Commies ioner To letoy asked the location of the northern ereil on Alternative
TWO.
Mr. Morton pointed out that they had shifted the trail in question further
ea uth and into the project.
Cemmiee ioner To letoy asked if the runoff from the slope had been cone id eretl in
plot«ing the trail.
Mr. Morton stated the runoff would ba hand lad according to CL[y standards wich
a gutter along the upper part of .na troll and a down drain into the storm
drain.

Chairman McHiel asked if the area to be dedicated to the Clty along the
northeast corner of the Bite was includetl in the two-acre calculations.
Mr. Morton said it was includ¢d and the lore would probably only be 1-1/2
acres without to at area. He notetl that the line was conceptual.
Prakaeh >akr aney, Sahama Investment e, 10'190 Civic Center Drive, Suite 200,
Rancho Cucamonga, felt they hnd addreeeetl the iee use discussed et the previous
meeting. He requested adtlitional input Erom the Commies ion.
Chairman McHiel reiterated that the colmsieeion wee discuss ing the possible
layout antl the EIR would 6e disco seed at the next meeting.
lack Bath, 13232 12th Street, Chino, stated ha was tfe designated
reoreeentat ive of the Sierra Club of California and their Biodivere ive Taek
Force. He stated their interest in the foothill region is the limited
riparian and alluvial coastal sage scrub. He said that during the leer 35
years the Sierra Club hoe been involved in legal cease concerning the
environment. He et eted the recent Supreme Court case citetl py the et torney
does not say the developer hoe the right to develop 100 percent of the project
area but rather soya the lead agency may not deprive the developer of 1001 of
economic gain. He •a id under et ate CEQA provisions, Che legal agency hne the
right to demand appropriate open space designed Co protect the natural
resources if they era mitigabla. Ha indicated that the Elerra Club objected
to this evening's meeting, in that they felt the environmentally rpulrsd
invest igatione of Che eeneit ive spec iee hatl not bean fulfilled. He said that
when coneultante do a study of eeneit ive spec iee on a project, they receive a
printout of the native spec iee database from the Department of Fish and
Came. He ea id on ens cover sheet of the printout it states that the lead
agency ie required to personally inspect the project area for sane h ive
epeciea being tracked by the Department of Pish and Game if [hey do not show
up on the printout. He said a lot of apeciae being tracked by the Department
of Fieh and came have not shown up on the printout. Ne felt the recant EIR
indicated the coneu ltant had foiled to personally inspect for the eeneitive
species. He noted that in 1984 the Sierra Club vas involved in a case called
San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society ve. the Clty of San Bernardino in which
the court decided that the lead agency must have a suf Eit rent degree of
analysis in the final EIR to know Che environmental coneequencee of their
actions. Ne felt that Lf the project goes forward, the City would be in
violation of the court'• interpretation. Hs felt spec iee each ae the
burrowing owl and the eouthwsetern pond tort is should have been
investigated. He thought the coneultante had failed to conduct a et udy of Lne
wildlife movement and therefore adequate informet run waa not available. He
stated Ghat in Marble Mountain ve. Rice (1990) it was determined there mu et be
an actual site-epee ific study of wildlife movement or documentation provided
for the lend agency to make rte judgment. Ne said that Sierra Club will
continue to he involved ae the peoject mouse forward.
Chairman McHiel age in re-emphasized that Ghis even tog's discussion waa co
center on the site plan rather than the EIR.

Leeona Rlippetein, Coordinator of San Bernardino Saga Friends, President of
Friends of the Foothills, 1382 Wesley Avenue, Pasadena, acknowledged that the
discussion was to be about the project's design, but stated she felt it was

she had spoken with the Stets Department of Fieh and Gams and th¢ Dnit¢d
St at ee Department of Fieh and Wildlife to see if they had received any
atld it tonal information on the biological report and studies that had Deen
requested. She thought the Commission had requested a complete survey of the
area rather than a focus survey on three species. She said it was her
understanding that the developer's consultant hatl iodic atetl they wore unable
to tletermine what aeneitiva reeourcea are on [ae sits. Shs atat¢d the
biological surveys are unacceptable by the Siaie Department of Fish antl Came
and the Unit ad States Department o£ Pieh and Wildlife. She said that FLaa and

Ma. Scher stated that it ie not necessary to search for a particular species
just b¢cauee the epaclae ie endangered and on a list. She ea id the consultant
who had done the biological review would ba able to explain the requirements
more fully when the EIR i• cone ideted. She indicated she had obtained a copy
of the lawsuit filed against the Foreet Service. She stated that the lawsuit
does not seek to atop thin project and she did not Eeel they could seek to
stop the project within the lawsuit based upon the grounds cited. She said
they are ae ki ng the Porest Service to undertake certain thi age tlenli ng with
National Foreet uses in general. She said the lawsuit m0nt tone the proj act,
but does not seek to atop it. She provided a copy of the laweu it for the City
Attorney. She noted that the earthquake faultline was daterminetl by a
geoloq ical survey which included trenching. She requested feedback from the
Commissioners regarding the alternat ivee presented.
Hearing no fort her tsetimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public Dearing. H¢
stated that the eubj act was the •iis plan and whether any of the site plane
presented would be acceptable to the Commieeionere.
Commissioner Valletta asked if the City Attorney and staff would adtlrese some
of the concerns regarding the legal aspects of whether cll nacssssry triter is
had been addressed In the area of site planning issues, wildlife movement
studies, mitigation measures for sage scrub, etc. She asked it staff would
address the fault study concerns which had been taieetl.
Hr. Han eon stated it ie ataf f's position chat the criteria have been met in

Chairman HcNiel noted that the applicant was seeking some direction with
regards to the layout of the site plan.
Commissioner Val lette noted that ear ioue issues were add re need during the
process. She said she still had the same concerns she had raised earlier in
the pro ca ea. She Felt that one function of the Planning Commission ie to
consider public input and she felt Gha Commission had rightfully cone idszed
that input.
Commissioner Tolatoy Indicated he at ill had several concerns which he had
raised in the past. He was concerned about the fire hazard in the area and
the detrimental conditions which might result from the elopes in the upper
area of the project. He remarked that the EIR had etaied that the water
preeaure in the upper nartheaei corner would not be vufficient and pumps would
have to be installed in those areas. He stated he was concerned about the
amount of water that a fire fight inq crew would need. He evked if tae
suggested pampa noted in iha EIR had been approved by the Fire District.
Mr. Bu liar commented that the Fire ^iat riot had indicated the pumps would be
an acceptable means of mitigation.
Cemmiaaioner Tolatoy felt that Alternative Two addreaeed some of [he ieauee,
but he felt the.t the open apace eaeemert ahoultl extend past Lota 46, 47, and
40. He thought that would better answer some of hie concerns.
commissioner Melcher noted that the applicant's attorney hatl made Boma
comments about the City's prorate ragardi nq having Commiuicner• involved in
the Design Review process. He felt thei tae Committee process may cause the
Commies ion io Eocue on limited points of the project rather roan from a mare
comprehensive point eE view. Ne indicated he had commented at the last
wor ka hop that this project ehou ld perhaps be used to eraneit ion in a more
natural way into the National Forest area. He felt what had been offered
tonight was a significant step in the right direction. He concurred wits
Commissioner Tolatoy that Alternative TWO appeared to be close t0
acceptable. He noted ae was concerned with the mit igat ion measures contained
in the EIR document e, in that moat of the harden for monitoring the
mitigations is placed on the developer and the eventual residents of the
project and he felt they wou ltl be least likely to tlo that monitoring. He felt
some of those areas may need further refinement. Ha Evlt the erect map may
have reachetl the highest level that could be expected.
Comm ieaioner Valletta agreetl with commies loner Tolatoy regarding fire haxacd
dangers and felt the lots should be pulled away from the steeper elevations
because of those concerns. She expressed concern about the amount of grading,
the pie-shaped lots, and the etreetecape'e appearance being inundates by
driveways because of the pie-shaped lore. She felt the axes ie neneit ive and
raga irea a custom appearance. She noted that the homes and footprlnte of the
homes atldreee that concern but she felt the Bite plan ie still a concern. She
thought the amount of cpen apace ehoi~.ld be increased because it is an
environmentally sensitive area and needs to be eenei[Sve to the natural
habitat and wildlife areas to be preeervetl. Shs did not support either
Alternative One or Two.

Chairman McNivl felt there are a number of nays to dual with the appvatancv of
enhancing open apace. He suggested Chat open fencing may be considered to
preserve the view from one loi to another, creating a sense of natural terrain
antl wide open apace. He noted that Deer Creek ie an example of open Eenc inq
helping to preserve a feeling of spec ioueneee. He felt that even though much
of the land will be in individual lots, it will not necessarily be built
upon. He noted that the grading far placement of homes and streets ie only a
small portion of the site. He felt ihnt Alternative Two may be better than
Alternat iva One because it allowed more open apace to the north. He commented
that he lives on Aed Hill, which hoe a lot of walla and close housing, but
there is still a lot of wildl ifs in the area. He Eelt that an open fencing
concept would help to mitigate some of the problems of migrating animals.
Commissioner vnlLette agreed that Alternative Two begins to address the
co nc erne of pulling the development away from the steeper elevationv.
However, she noted that Alternat ivy Two hoe increased grading because the lots
become pie-shaped, giving an appearanev of axes •e ive driveways along the
street. She agreed that Alt ernstive Two ie a better plan, but vhe felt more
needs to b¢ done. she agreed that open apace fencing would help. However,
she did not feel the area is comparable to Deer Creek because ohs felt Deer
Creek ie a typical residential neighborhood without the 10-20 percent grade
which this property hoe, she Eelt that safety ie ease and visual effects
should be considered. She said the tlevvlopment was not what ehv wanted to eve
on the hillside.
Chairman McNiel reopened the public hearing.
Mr. Morton thought they are a little over 100 feet.
Comm ice is ner Toletoy asked if the developer would be willing to extend the
open apace area along Lote 46, 47, and 68.
Nr. Morton said they would be willing, ae the auggsetad ezpsntled area would
not encroach on the building foot print e.
Commie stoner Valletta felt 100 feet would be Lnadequate.
Ccmmieeio ner Toletoy felt 100 Eeet would be adequate and he felt [he ec ale of
the tlrawinge may be misleading.
Nr. Morton et eted that the design of the pads themselves will be very cuetom-
looking and all the house unite are plc :ed on the lot based upon elope.
commies io ner vellette agreed that the developer had done en excellent job in
atldreeaing the elevation differences with the placement of the building pads.
Ma. Klippetein stated the Brea and the wildlife are being devtroyed. She Ee Lt
that once development ie permitted, a precedent hoe been evt and the hilly idea
are gone. she ateted that the Couney hoe an ord inence reetrlct ing development
north of a certain area because of [lre danger. she void the tlavelopmont ie
ripping up the mesa and she Evlt the land Se being aDueed.

Commissioner Vallette felt that Ne. Klippatein'e input had been valuable and
the Comm ieeion had cone idered her comment e.
Chairman NcNiel commented that although three Commissioners had shown support
for Alternative Tuo, the applicant should cone ider the concerns raised by
Commissioner Vallette. He suggested perhaps one mere lot should be deleted.
Nr. Hurphy noted that the staff had recommended a 30-day continuance to allow
time for the technical aspects to be considered. He suggested that the maiter
instead be continued until September 23 to allow time for the applicant to
submit revised plane for review by the Technical Review Committee and the
Grading Committee.
commissioner Me lc her asked about .i,. forum for addressing the ceneerna with
the mitigation monitoring proposals. He noted that if he waited until the

Mr. Murphy noted he would be working with the coneu ltant to disco ea

been provided to take advantage of views to the valley and to the mountains.
He euggeated deed reatrlit Lone could W placetl on the lot• to ensure
preservation of the open apace within private property.
Mr. Sektahney commented that the altarnativae in the EIR do not work. He said
the revisions rscaaary to the BIR slternativss to provide aacondery access
would result in 12-foot manufacturstl •lopss end only 38 acraa of additional

Commiaelonar Talstoy felt that there were many problems connected with
development on steep elopes. Ha agreed with Commissioner Chit iee'a comments
about the project.
Commies inner Valletta commented that the City's consultant should explore an
alternative utilizing all the criteria antl comments submitted regarding iha
%IR (1. e., accasa, street gzadw, etc.). she thought iha prof sot needs to ba
more seas itive to the environment including, but net limited to, transition of
density tc the forest, provision of more open space, elimination/reduction of
fragmented open specs, and the uo of netlve plant species during the
landscapLng of the prejscr. she suggested one mathotl of achieving [Dose goals
would be through a reduction in the number of units.
Chairman HcNiel felt that the s1L L a buildabU parcel. Hs suggested that

Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, stared the Commission could not take any
action to approve the project because the EIR was not approved, but he
suggested that the Commission may wish to take teat imony end make comments.
Scott Murphy, Aeeoci ate planner, presented the staff report and noted that the
Engineering Department had requested that sitlswalks ba included on one side of
the eiraete. He noted that revised propeeed Condit Lone providing for
sidewalks were in front of the Conmleeionere.
Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing.
Steve Morton, Sahama Investment e, 10700 Jareey Bculeve rd, J705, Rancho
Cucamonga, stated they would like to wait until the sprtng study ie completed
before qo ing into detailed comments regarding the project. He felt they had
clustered the houses and noted they did not propose any development in the
escarpment area and the fault zone and hatl tletlicated natural open apace to the
north. He commented that the City had hired the consultant to do the EIR and
they had done a lot of work to design the development to address concerns
raised in the EIR and by the City.
Conumi eaioner Valletta asked how much open apace was includatl in the proposal.
Hr. Morton responded that there are preserving QO acrae out of the total 113

Catherine Br idge, 8715 Banyan Street, Rancho Cucamonga, remarked that 17 acrae

Mz. Murphy asked if the Commiesionere wished to make some comments on the

applicant. He noted that there had been some diecuseion that perhaps
additional open areas should be preserved.
Commissioner Me lcher statetl the^_ since the project went through ~eaign Review
he had had an opportunity to study the land at greater length and listen and
read at greaser length aDOUt the environmental issues and he now quest toned if
the plan ie supportable and whether the lot scree are appropriate.
Conm ieeioner Chitiea felt she could not support the project ae presented. She
felt the tract should have public streets and the trails shoo ld pe detlicaied.
Commies inner Toletoy thought that after the EIR ie updated, it may ba fountl
that there are some advantages in concentrating the density of the project !n
the more flat, mesa areas and crying to save some of the alluvial ecruD ae
open apace. He said that would reduce some of the disrupt ion to the natural
land form in the higher areas which would result in lase soil erosion and a
leaser fire hazard in the area. Ne said he could not comment until it lc
determined what habitat. ehoultl be preserved.
Conant eeioner Valletie felt that some of the issues bzcught up during the
review of the EIR for the Etiwanda North area had made the Comm sslonere more
aware of some of the concerns za teed. She did not feel the present proposal
reflects the direction spelled out in the EIR and she felt the applicant
should 6e directed to guard the open areas, which may mean smaller lot
scree. She thought the site plan should reflect minimal street grading. She
thought the eubd ivieion proposal included more street Chnn whet the EIR
euggeatetl. She felt development should be pulled further away from the
northeast quadrant because of fire hezarda. She proposed more clu staring of
dwelling unite and requested that close attention 6e paid to the view corridor
from the south ae well ae Che views from the new home scree so that each new
home would have a view to the valley. She thought that may mean a reduction
in unite. She thought Mre. Er idgee' questions regartling the relationship of
the elope to the property to the south should be addressed and she felt the
area should be more naturalized. She preferred that the whole area be kepi ae
natural ee poaeibla without greenbelts or contrived elopes.
Commieelonar To let o•/ noted that if the lose are emal ler with more of the north
quadrant preserved, mare grading ~n~ou ld be cequ lred.
Mr. Murphy noted that the EIA had ind LC ated Chat with the 1/2 acre lore there
would be more grading, but it would be within a confined area.
Commissioner Tolatoy fa It Chat the proposed design calla for a minimal amount
cE grading and the proposed grading would appear more like the natural lantl
form. He thought that if the unite are moved down entl concentrated, the me ea
lantl Ec rm would be disrupted with more grading.
Comnieeioner Valletie supported reducing the number of dwelling unite co
retluce the amount of grading.

lab
Mr. Murphy remarked chat with 1/2 acre lots there will be more grading within
the clustered area even if the number of unite ie reduced.
Commissioner Chit tee noted that even where extensive gzeding does not occur,
extensive scraping often does occur becau ee the natural habitat is removed to
some distance away from the homes ae required by the fire departmont. Shs
said sometimes the land forms may not mange, but the habitat still changes
e ignificani ly.
Commissioner Valletta favored Alternative Layout B from the EIR and the amount
of open apace it preserves.
Chairman McNiel agreed with Comm,ieeionar Toletoy that Lt ie unknown until
after reviewing the results of the spring study if there is anything
salvageable that ie significant unless the Commission feels the open space
moat be preserved anyway. He felt that perhaps other alternei sues should be
investigated. He nosed that the applicant's proooeal has the least effect on
the natural terrain, but it consumes more ground.
Commieaioner Valletta noted that the larger lots also allow the individual
homeowner to put in mote Duildinge, each a• horse barns, etc.
Commiaeioner Toletoy fe li that the applicant had worked [o utilize minimal
grading and had changed some of the gratlinq so the area would appear like
grading had not taken piece. He telt the applicant had done a comnendabls )ob
in that area.
Brad Bullet, City Plannaz, euggestsd that the Commiesloners may wish to
continue the matter to look at other options Ln a workshop totting.
Commiaeioner Chit tea suggested it may b¢ more appropriate Lo continue the
matter until after results of the spring survey are known.
Nr. Buller ditl not feel the Commission needed to wait until after the
survey. He recommended Lhat the matter be continued to May 7.
Mr. Murphy noted that the biologist had indicated the spring study needs Lo be
dons by Hay 1, and staff should have a verbal indication shortly after that as
to what had been found.
Chairman McNiel suggested that the matte[ be continuetl to Mny 7. He opened

protests migratory bird neetinge. He obeervetl that there had been a comment

Sha noted that under Natural Environment on Page III-]6 of the General Plan it

Dan Samee, Senior Civ>1 Engineer, noted that hie May 6, 1992, memorandum hatl

Lhe Bahama project to provide 26 fast of pavement with the eastern cure and
gutter on Turquo ice south of Almond for approx Lma[ely 900 feet to meat the

the Bridges properly dove lope in the future, they would moat likely be

with curb and gutter plus an additional 10 feat of paving and improve the west
side of Turquoise Etom Almond south to Hillside with curb and gutter and an

Nz. Jaewv rsspocdvd ha did not know
Mr. Murphy rvvpondvd that the Skyline project was approved in 1984 or 1985 antl
at that time gravel was permlttetl as an acceptable all-weather surface for the
nvcvvsaty secondary vmergeney access along Almond and Turquoise. Ha noted
tRat einte that time the City has taken a stronger position and now raga ices a
minimum 26 feet of pavement Eoz eecontlary emergency access. He thought the
Bridges were concerned about the improvement of Turquoise rather tRan the
improvement of Almond. Ne said [hey hetl expressetl concern that the
improvement of Turquoise would be a large Eurden for their small parcel.
Nt. eullvr noted chat the Commission Rad divcueead the pone ib ility of changing
tRe northvutsrn street to a loop Krvet and in the pave there had been
concerns with etrevt naming of loop etrvety. He felt the present layout with
kmicklve pravidve a clearer diet inct ion of where street names should break.
He felt that even on a ratllue etrevt Lt would De difficult to meet tRV 95-Foot
ssparntion between driveways without combining driveway a. Ha natetl that if
driveway ere combined, there would be eignif icanely more gradirq. He et ated
the current driveway locations were tlss ignvd to aeeonmodate the strays
frontage while being evnsit ive to the existing topography. He thought
combining driveways might raga ire flipping houses to meet the driveway gtatle•
end that woultl requite sdtl It Tonal grading.
Commissioner Me lc her noted that the only way to rat sin [ha yams number of late
antl inersasv the frontage of the lots would by to make the curvy awing farehsr
north end east, thereby reducing the size of the lore, and cresting additional
grading problems. Ha tlitl not Eeel tRat was a worthwhile concept.
Ccamiu Toner Vallstt• felt it would by aecvptabL to reduce the number of
units and bring the street south.
Mr. Buller et atetl a previouv workshop had discussed bringing the street south
end the Commte•ion had not given direction to pu reue that concept.
Commissioner Val lette [Rough[ the Commi9eionere were feeling gu ilcy because
the devviopvn' Rad come so far within the development proevev. She felt the
Commission was juetif red in chnnging direction in adtlroeeinq concerns because
there hatl been quire a bit of public input. She •tatsd •hv, ae wall ae other
Commis lane re, had voiced eoneerne early in the process regarding the number

because there was a need to adtlrvae concerns and ehs Eelt public tevcimony was
a valid reason [or • change o[ direct ion.
Comml a ionvr Ne1Mer felt tM potential rolocet ion of the northvaetern street

Commissioner Valletta Ca It that if the project were to be approved, several

opposition to scraping of the hil la ids and the importance of maintaining the

asked that trolls De posted to prohib ii motorized vehicles. She cal letl for a
restriction on the amount of hartlecape coverage of the lots, irc lading patios,
swimming pool, tennis court e, etc.
Mr. Hanson stated the Commieeionere were consider ing overflow lighting and the
amount of hardeca pe versus open space. He euggeeted the Commission quantify
the amount of hardecape permits ibis. He thought light ing et andarde are
already in placo.
Mr. Buller said it would be within the realm of the Planning Commission to
limit the ameunt of hartlscape, etc., but he felt the wording would need to be
carefully considetod. Hs auggaec ad that pool and patio li.g hting be conaldarad
along with tennis court lighting. He felt further analysis woultl be needed.
He ind icaUd it could be possiDla to inc ludo a notice rsquitemsnt for all

Chairman McNiol asked if it would ba possible to condition the project wrth a

corner side yard of the single family residence owned by Ma. Howell.
While being sympathetic to the concerns expressed by the applicant, the
Commission determined that the tree removal was not consistent with the
intent of the Tree Preservation ordinance for the foLlwing reasons:
1. The trees aze located within a street Gree easement and,
therefore, are City street trees. The decision of whether or
not to remove the trees ie the responsibility of the City.
2. The trees are part of the estabLi shed streets cape theme for
Victoria windrows hoop, which consists of a double row of
Eucalyptus trees errs ddLing the sidewalk.
3. The trees were required to be instal Led as a condition of
approval for development of the housing tract.
d. The insta Llxtion of deciduous trees would sti 11 result to
leaves dropping into the rear yard during the fall season and
coat inning the maintenance problem.

P 1anre is dec ision der-ying a request to remove two e ucalyptus
tee=es located on the north side ~f North Victoria Windrows
loop, west of Rock Aose Avenue - APN: 22y-411-42.
DAC KG ROi1t10: On July 22, 1932, the City received a request to remove two
eucalyptus trees from the south side of an existing residence located at
5595 Elderberry Court (see Erhibit "^c"). In reviewing the request,
staff det ermined the fallowing:
1. The trees are defined as "Heritage Trees" by the Tree Preservation
Jrdinance (Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Decti nn 19. 08. 030.
2. The trees were ins to lied as a condition of apprcval for de ve LOpment
of the housing tract.
3. The trees are part of the established streetscape theme for the
Victor to Windrows Loop which consists of a double row of eucalyptus
trees sT.raddli^.g the sidewalk.
4. The trees ace not interfe ci r,g with any existing or proposed
improvements or development.
i. The trees acs in good health.
6. With proper maintenance, the risk of fir_ is minimal. Tri mm in9 of
the trees will further minimize the risk.
-~. Proper tr. mminq of iF.e trees will rc dm:e the leaves being dropped to
r.he par 1.
As a result cf this information, Tree Removal Permit, No. 92-14 was
denied. Subsequently, the applicant filed an appeal with the PLa nn my
Cnnm issinn request ;.ng consideration of the Tree Removal Permit.
ANALYSIS: The trees were planted to create a special landscape theme
ainng the norD.he rly and southerly "Windrows Ltwp" collector streets.
The trees benird the sidewalk were placed in a 4 1/2-foot city of Aanchn
Cure men na Tree Maintenance Ea Se meet. Therefore, the trees in que scion

are public street trees intended to be maintained 6y the City. The
appellant states that they desire to reF lace tho trees with another
variety; however, the City is committed to maintaining the established
theme of Red Gum Eucalyptus as evidenced by its ongoing replacement
program.
In their aopeal letter (see Exhibit "A"), the applicant states that the
trees represent an extreme fire hazard. The applicant referances the
r. ace nt 105-acre Etiwanda fire and the Oakland fire in which eucalyptus
trees were involved. There are several important distinctions between
those events and the present request for removal:
1. Trees in the Etiwanda area are "Eucalyptus olobulus" (Blue Gum
eucalyptus) and, as noted by the applicant, were originally planted
as wind breaks for the citrus crops. With the elimination and/or
neglect of the citrus groves, the eucalyptus trees nn longer receive
regular watering. Aa a result, some of the trees have become very
dry and brittle. Additionally, the trees are not maintained in a
fashion that would eliminate much of the fire potential (i.e.,
removing dead branches, cleaning up leaves under the tree, etc.)
.T.e location of the trees proposed for removal ie within a corner
side yard setback that does receive regular water. Also, tiie trees
aopear to be maintained Ealrly well in th et no dead limbo or a iar ge
amount of leaves at the tree base were vi si63e. The ground plane
has been covered with river rock (by the homeowner).
2. There was a large amount of dry brush within the ^et iwanda and
Oakland frres that helped spread the flames at a rapid pace.
'Lhe trees proposed for removal are located within a rockscape area
surrounded by maintained lawn, gtoundcover, and shrub areas. A11
areas arc green and appear to receive regular irrigation. As noted
in the attached Sunset magazine article (see Exhibit •'D"),
information obtained after the Oakland fire indicated that the
eucalyptus trees posed no greater fire threat than many other tree
species; and with regular maintenance, the eucalyptus trees are as
safe as any other broad-leafed evergreen tree.
3• The treee propcsed for removal, "EUCalyp4le ca lmalduleus is" {Red Gum
eucalyptus 1, were not planted to protect crops from the wind.
Rather, this species of eucalyptus was selected because of its
suits bi ii.ty and aesthetic value within street parkways.
In conc lusi.nn, staff believes that the request to remove the two
eucalyptus trees is inconsistent with the intent of the Tree
Preae rva tinn Ordinance and the concerns expressed by the applt cant can
be addressed through proper maintenance of the trees rather than removal
of the trees.

Attn: Otro Krnutih Deputy City Planner
Community Development Department
Planning Division
Subject: Tree Removal Permit 92-14
Dear Mr. Kroudl,
1 have reviewed your August 3rd letter of denial for `Tree Removal Permit 82-I4'. In considering
your leer, I wish to state the follrnving:
1. "Eucalyptus" is defined as a large chiefly Australian evergreen tree, characterized try itc ragged
bark and yielding a volatile, pungent oil.
2. Eucalyptus trees are commonly referred to as "widow-makers" because of the extreme damage
caused by falling debris.
3. "Eucalyptus leaves contain enough oil to ignite without so much as a spark. Heat from a nearby
fire is sufficient We've actually seen [hem explode. It almost acts as its own torch." These are
quotes attributed to Fire Chief L. Dennis Michael in the "Daily Bulletin" article of July 19, 1992.
This same article continues with the following: "The City is taking a particulazly hard look at
the area 5 rows ofeucalyptus trees. Originally planted to shield fruit orchards from the wind,
the trees contributed to the spread of the Juty 6 fire" which burned 105-acres in Etiwanda. "City
Hall has already agreed to waive it's tree-remova: fees for Etiwanda residents anxious to chop
dawn eucalyp[uxs."
4. In addition to the extreme fire hazard under "normal" conditions, the F.[iwanda area is the prime
host of destructive winds which have reached 80 mph. Afire fueled by eucalyptus would be
disastrous to our area. The vast devastation of the recent Oakland fire was attributed to the
establishment of eucalyptus trees within and among residential homes.
5. Times have changed. Originally planted to protca orchards from winds, the orchards are
disappearing and communities have been established. Given the highly volatile and dangerous
nature of the eucalyptus, I question simply the choice of tree planted by the Ciry of Rancho
Cucamonga within the community of the "Victoria" tract. Not Doty the choice of planting, but
removal of [he homeowner's right to either replace nr maintain.
~~
~kHfB/T'
Z'g
Your letter sites the "Tree Preservation Ordinance" and "the planting of trees as a condition of
approval for development of the housing tract". As a homeowner who wishes to contribute to the
beauty and safety of our community, I simply wish to exercise the privilege to replace the two
eucalyptus trees on my property with any other type of tree. linlikc most trees, eucalyptus also shed
continually, all yeaz around. I have enclosed photographs of the mess they make each and every day
ro our back yazd. As the wind blows gently each everting, these trees "rain" leaves into our back
yard. It is impossible to keep it maintained in a proper manner. Your letter also states that with
proper maintenance, the risk of fire is minimal and [hat proper trimming will reduce the leaves
dropping in our pool. Since the planting of these particular trees in 1985, they hate never been
trimmed and now reach a height of at least ZS feet and still growing like weeds. In the past, [have
made repeated calls to the City Yard to request trimming. [have personally watched the Ciry
employees trim smaller trees between the sidewalk and the curb, but each time, they choose to
bypass the trees on our lot, possibly bemuse of their size. Our immediate neighbor at 6598
Elderberry Ct. has eucalyptus leaves dangling direcity over their chimney vent on a wmposition style
roof. h has ^cvcr Seen mair.tnined ! ~• the Cit;~ of Rancho Cucamonga. i have noticed the annual
tree trimming on Sasi:, a few blocks from our home. A fine job is done each Spring as [hey are cut
way back; however, City Mmming of !rect. appears to he very sparadic.
After careful consideration over the years, my con!antion is no longer over tree trimming, but rather
tree removal. t request Ihei- -emoval fo; two reas~: ns:
1. They do no allow me as a proud homeowner, to care for my property in the manner in which
I would like.
2. They are an undeniable fire hazard
As stated in my permit request for removal, [ am more than happy to replace them with another
kind of tree. My sincere hope is that the Ciry of Rancho Cucamonga will gractiously allow the
homeowner the privilege of planting and maintaining another tree of choice on their own property.
Any otlter tree of choice, made even by the Planning Commission, would be readity accepted. I'm
confident that you also have the heautificatioo and safety of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
foremost in your minds as you struggle with these issues.
I thank you for thin second reconsideration and await your reply
erely.

SLBJFJCI': CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO RANCHO CtiCAMOtdGA
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 12.04.010 -PARK REGULATIONS
FOR CONDiiCT OF ACTIVITIES AT THE SPORTS COMPLEX
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed Ordinance to the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code
amending Section ]2.04.010 Park Regulations as it pertains to the conduct
of activities at the Sports Complex.
BACKGROUND:
[n November of 1991 the City Council awarded a bid for the construction
of the Sports Complex. This complex includes a stadium, threw lighted ball
fields, two soccer fields, an animal shelter and a maintenance facility. One
of the primary purposes of the Sports Complex was to provide a facility
where adults could drive to and play at night, without impacting
surrounding residential areas, so that the neighborhood parks could be
used by youth.
In September of 1992, the City Council approved a lease between the City
and a minor league baseball team which allows for professional baseball to
he played in the stadium. In addition, the City has expressed [he desire to
see special events, such as musical concerts and exhibitions, programmed
within the stadium and the complex.
ANALYSIS:
The current Municipal Code, as it pertains to conduct of activities within
parks, is recommended to he modified so that the Sports Complex can
accommodate the anticipated event programming and the lease agreement

November 18, 1992

with [he minor league tenant. The City Attorney's office has drafted an
Ordinance which amends the. current Code to allow for visitors to remain at
the stadium, when an event has bezn scheduled, after 10:00 p.m.
The proposed Ordinance also maintains the prohibition of [he consumption
of alcoholic beverages in any park except for the sale of beer and wine
within the interior of the stadium building. The Ordinance also directs that
signs be posted a[ the Sports Complex entrance which notifies any visitors
of the prohibitior. of alcoholic beverages within the park except that beer
and wine may be consumed within the stadium. As the City Council will
recall, the tenant of the stadium is required to follow the Alcohol Policy
approved by the City Council as part of the lease agreement.

MEMORANDUM TO
Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager,
City of Rancho Cucamonga
FROM: James L. Markman, City Attorney ~."'~
RE: Proposed Amendment to Rancho Cucamonga
Municipal Code Section 12.04.010 - Amendment to
Park Regulations to allow for conduct of
activities at Sports Complex.
Enclosed herewith please find a draft of the above
referenced ordinance for your review. The Ordinance is
generally speakiny in keeping with the draft of materials you
supplied to me. However, there are a few deviations from your
draft as follows:
- i. I feel that it is necessary to amend subsection 3
to allow persons to enter or remain in the stadium between the
hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m, in order to attend an event
being conducted in the stadium-
2. I did not feel that we need to amend subsection 6
regarding parking in designated parking areas since any area in
which a person may park to attend a ballgame will 6e a
designated area.
3. I agree that subsection 9 needs to amended but I
provide for a more general amendment to allow musical concerts
to occur in the stadium whether or not they are conducted on a
management contract approved by the City. It is possible that
the City would have such an event simply through a license or
sublease or stadium use agreement without any intermediary
management group being involved.
30`1
Memorandum to: Linda Daniels
September 25, 1992
Page Two
4. Finally, I do not think it is necessary to amend
subsection 15 with respect to playing radios, tape records and
usher electronic devices since that section is aimed at a
person who is oresent in a park rather than a person or the
City conducting an event in the park. Also, it seems to me
that someone playing a radio at a ball game should keep it low
enough so that it is not audible at a distance of more than 50
feet.
I would appreciate your feedback on this Ordinance.
If you feel that it is in order, please place it on an early
agende foY processing.

Re: ggngeil of Approval tor~a,r;~ Man No. 1aa75 and Subsequent
environmental Imuact jtgp rt ertified Therewith
Honorable Mayor and City Courc ilmembers:
on September 21, 1992) the Planning Commission certified
a Subsequent Environmental Impact iteport (the "EIR") for vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 1-0475 and related design revie'd (the
"Project"J, and approved the Project as it had been modified by
submittals of the developer, Saliama Investments. Rn appeal was
filed to the approval of the EIR and the Tract Map by a group
designating itself "Friends o: the Foothills"1 (the "Appellant^),
solely on the basis that the EIR was not "sufficient." The appeal
does not challenge the findings which the Planning Commission made
to approve the subdivision map, nor was the design review approval
granted to the Project appealed. The appeal furthermore ma kes no
' "Friends of the Foothills" is a corporation apparently
operating only in Altadena. It makes no claim to be connected with
the City of Rancho Cucamonga in any way or to o'~~n or have any
interest in any property anywhere near the Project. Since
Government Code section 66452.5 allows appeals on subdivision maps
only by an "interested person adversely affected by a decision" and
the appeal makes no claim of ar,y "interest" of Appellant other than
that of an abstract concern about CEQA processing, it is
questionable whether nn appeal has even boon affected. This latter
shall not be deemed a waiver of this issue should litigation be
brought.

claim that ct,e Project, as approved and conditioned, would have any
actual impact on the environment.Z
In setting forth its "objections," i>~ reasons why the
EIR is not sufficient under- the California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEgA"), the Appellank consistently and conveniently provides
incorrect factual data and fauley legal analyses. The purpose of
this letter is to correct those misstatements.
The EIR was prepared by the city's own designated expert,
Bauer Environmental Services (°Bauer"). As set forth in the EIR,
a previous final amiironmental impact roport (the "First EIR"j was
prepared by a different City consultant, Michael Brandman
Associates, inc. ("Srandman"), and certified for a single family
residential project on the site- The First EIR came to the same
conclusion as reached in the EIR, that development of Che subject
site with single family residences will ~ have a significant
effect on the environment if appropriate mitigation measures are
Lncluded.
Most of the Appellant's objections arise from its refusal
to accept to is conclusion or the determination by the City'8
nxperts that there are no rare cr endangered speeles anywhere on
the site where development is proposed. This determination is
based on a detailed on-site survey performed in March 1984, and
additional surveys performed in November 1990 and in April and May
1992 (the latter two of which are ignored by the Appellant).
Appellsnt, which makes no claim to any expertise in shy
environmental area, simply insists that in spite of these detailed
reviews, there .must be something there.
To bolster its objections, Appellant intentionally
disregards ehe fact that there is to be no development whatsoever
on those portions of the situ which are most environmentally
z By failing to raise these issues In the appeal, the
Appellant is, of course, barred [rum raising them during the City
Council's nearing on this matter or in court.
Appellant claims this survey is "out of date and inadequate"
but otfere no evidence at all to support this claim. In the
absence of facts to show changed circumstances, CEQA mandates
continued reliance on certified EIRs, Public Resources Code
section 211b6.

sensitive, ttSe Cucamonga Canya~ Wash and the northeast corner of
the propert}• adjacent to the San 6ernardino National Forest. When
this _*act is added to the factual studies conducted by Bauer and
Brandma n, the legal core lusions reached by the Appellant are simply
unsupportable.
For example, Appal lant's first objection, regarding the
alleged failure of the EIR to analyze the negative impecta of
various alternatives, is not well taken, splice such analysis is
required only if the alter;~ntie~e would cause "one or more
significant effects ]Il aQditiun tc chose Chat would be caused by
the project as proposed." Tic•le 2 Cade of California Regulations
("CEQA Guidelihos") Section 15126(4)(4). Neither the PrOjaCt
itself nor any nt the alternatives creaCes slynificant effects on
the environment, so no such analysis is necessary.
L3imile rly, "objections" 2, 3, q, 5, 10, 12, 13, 14, and
16° really state nothing more than the: the Appellant is not happy
with the coneluaions that the City's consultants have reached about
the effects of this project cn the environment. Based upon a self-
generated fiat of species that the Appellant thinks ought io be on
the Bite, bocause such speciee are found somewhere in the State of
California, Appellant argues that the EIR "improperly" focuses on
those species which are actually likely to be on the site. But
even if Appellant or any of its representatives were an "expert,"
which it never claimed to be and is not, an EIR may still be
aufficiant despite Appellant's disagreement with the Clty'a
exps rte. Public Resources Code section 151511 No Slo Transit.

similarly, Appellant argues in objections a and 7 for
additional studies to be done in spice of the Pact there is no
credible evidence whatsoever of C21e need for such studies. The
coures have held that it is both "unreasonaUle" and not required by
CEQA or she State Guidelines to per[orro every east tot ovary
possible impact, and such testa ace not required if the public
agency's experts in good faith believe they are noC necessary.

found only in the. Cucamonga Canyon Wash, will not be aftecte3 at
all, as no development. is to occur in that area. No Llndings are
required by Public Rc,so~.u•ces CuQr section 2108E 5 and CEQA
Guidelines 15o91(tj for e:uch "lees" because no such less will
occur.
Two other incorrect statements in the objections should
be commented upoh. Fit-st, the quote in objection 9 allegedly from
Public Resources Ccde section 21153; regarding the need for
assessing flora and fauna within and adjacent to a proje^.L area, 1s
not from that section, nor, indeed, from any other section o! the
Public Resources Code nor from ally section oP the CEQA Guidelines.
It furthermore is an incorrect statement oP the standard required
for the study of sensitive plant and animal species. CEQA does not
require a compleke inventory of all plants and animals found on all
property anywhere adjacent to the site of a proposed prof eat, as
stated by the Appellant, but instead requires only a general
description of the environment in the vicinity of a project, with
a duper discussion of those particular areas outside of a profeet
site which will be affected by the project. CEQA Guidelines
section 15125. The tract map here has been designed so A9 t0 be
"pulled back" from the only propert iea which are environmentally
sensitive, 1•e• the Cucamonga Canyon wash and the San Bernardino
National Fo nest. IL would be an abuse of discretion by the City to
require a study of each and every plant and animal located in the
San Bernardino National Forest or in the Cucamonga Canyon wash,
when none of them will be impacted by this Project.
secondly, objection 15, that it is "not clear" whether
the City has conducted its own independent review of the EIR, is
another example of Appellant's refusal to acknowledge the reality
of this Project and its review process. At the public hearing on
the Project, it was made very clear that Bauer was hired and
controlled only by the City, and t)tat the City o[ficlals who made
the decision on the EIR and Coe Project ceviewed Che EIR in depth.
It is important to keep in mind the standard for adequncy
o! an EIR. As set [orth in CEQA Guideline section 15151:
"An EIR should he prepared with a
sufficient deg roe of analysis to provide
decision makers with i:tformation which enables
them to make a decision which intelilgently
takes necount of omrironmentel consequences.

a proposed project need not be exhaustive, but
the sufficiency of ar. SIR is to be reviewed in
the light of what is reasonatly feasible. .
The courts nave not SooY.ed for perfection but
for adequacy, complotaness and a good faith
effort et full disclosure."
The Appellant, through Lveona Klippstein made extensive
comments at the hearSnga preceding approval of the Project which
were reviewed and considered at length Sn connection with the
pertSf ication of the EIR, and were included in the EIR as required
by law, CEQA Guidelines section 15172. The fACt that Appellant
disagrees with the EIR does no[ render it inadequate. Since the
EIR is adc luate, and Appellant has raised no objections whatsoever
to approval ~f the Tract Map utber than the form Of Lhe EZR, the
decisior, of the P1Anniny Commission should be affirmed.

Certification of Tentative Tract X11171
yinal Environmental impact Report
Bahama investments, Inc.
The Department of Pish std Game (Department) understands that the City
of Rancho Cucamonga (City) will be hearing an appeal regarding the decision to
certify the Pinal EIR for the above referenced project. The Department
continues to have concerns about the project relative to its impacts to
biological resources and inadequate mitigation measures for these impacts. We
urge the City Council to reconsider its certification of the Bahama lLIR.
The Department's concerns as expressed in our June 30, 1992 letter to
the Planning Commission remain largely unresolved. kt that time, we noted the
following concerns:
- inadequate biological surveys for sensitive plants std animals;
- undisclosed impacts to identified open space through aubeequent
intensive fuels modifications;
- lack of compensation Eor loss of rare natural comvunitiea, including
coastal sage scrub and alluvial fan sage scrub;
- inadequate consideration of impacts to surrounding natural habitat:
including National Yorest lands; and
- lack of alternatives to reduce impacts to native habitats
In addition, the Department still has a Wombat of concerns which we
underatard have been raised by other interested parties, including the
U. S. Pish and Wildlife Service in their Nay 6, 1992, letter, Relative to the
project impacts in Cucamonga Canyon, the Department i9 concerned that adequate
sensitive species surveys were never conducted. Furthermore, we disagree with
the City's opinion that the wens itive resources of the canyon and the creek
are adequately protected Yrom impacts of this project. The Department
believes that erosion from saes grading and Euel modification in adjacent open
space areas could damage the ripartan areas aithin the canyon and the creek.
The project has the potential to affect wildlife on adjacent public
lands managed by the San Bernardino National Poreat. Diaplecement of wildlife
onto National Poreat land, loan of wildlife access to riparian areas in
Cucamonga Canyon and the increased likelihood of aildlend fires end lose of
public access to National Forest lnnda are all likely outcamea from the
project as designed,

site des Department has previously exoresaed its support for an alternative
gn which substantially reduces the amount of area developed and
focuses the project on already diatvrbad habitats more suitable for urban
development and less environmentally sensitive.
We, therefore, urge the CSty of Rancho Cucamonga to reconsider
certification of the Pinel EIA .oz this project in order to work with the
Department, the L. 5. Piah and Wildlife Service and other interested parties
in resolving the wildlife issues brought forth in this and previous letters.
It 1s critical that the City be responsive to a regional program being
undertaken by the State of California that ie focused on the preservation of
the sensitive habitat mentSoned previously in Nis letter. This program fs
called the Natural Community Conservation planning Program (NCCP) and hoe
received support from numerous jurisdictions and private landowaare wSNin the
five county planning area (including San Sernardino~. The Department requests
that the City demonstrate Sts coccern for the long-tern preservation of
coastal sage scrub and alluvial fan sage scrub by enrolling in Nia program.

Dear Prakash:
This is to clarify the issue of Fuel modification in open spaces. To reaffirm the text
on Page 7, of the approved Fira Protection Phil, any and all fuel modification in open
'space areas such as within Riparian zones will be done with due consideration given to
- em+ironmexttal concerns, Fish Ec Game and Fire agenry requtremerKs. In fact, no work is
anticipated wi8iin Cucamonga Canyoa Some modification may be necessary at the
uppermost edge of the bluff, where the Fuel modification woe t»gins, in the area where
the tract v,~r11 be constructed. _
The goal of the Furl modification prrr~ am will be to slow down foe spread Ln a
manner which strives to protect structures axed project roadways.
The undersigned welcomes the input of Flsh &'Game representatives, the Fize
Department, and the USFS during preparation of the detailed Friel modification plan.
The Fire DepaJtrlent and the United States Forest Service leave approved the Fie
Protection Plan and the Fuel Modification concepts. Drtailed plans cannot be done until
afters approval of the tract map.
It is w^.derstood tlut the plan obviotLSly cannot be implemented unless it is
xeviewed'oy the Firs DepzrGrtert, united States Forest Service. and the Depatanee.^.t o:
fish and Game. Sod: agencies, by their review, will be providing ssuxanees riot
adequate Face safety, as well as environmental concerns, are addressed.
I am confidertk that all agencies can conpcrate together in the review and approval
of an environmentally mncemed Fuel Modification Plan, which will provide reasonable
Firs safety.

FROM: Linda D. Daniels, Deputy Dvector
SUBJECT: General Management Contract for Quake Stadium
As indicated at the October 21, 1992 meeting, the stadium tenant, the
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes has indicated an interest in managing the
facility. Staff and the team h ave discussed the conceptual terms for
promoting events. Following is an outline of the deal points which were
reviewed with the Council at the executive session:
1. City will receive 20% of gross revenues from concessions, including
parking revenues, and miscellaneous merchandise sales, beginning
with the first dollar of sales.
2. City will receive the 10% entertainment/admissions tax from ail
ticket sales.
3. City will receive a rental fee for each event (range of $1,500 -
$2,500).
4. In lieu of receiving a management fee, for every three events
booked by the stadium manager, the manager shall receive the
opportunity to book one event rent free, up to a maximum of 4
events annually. Concessions' revenues and
entertainme nt/admissions tax shall be paid for these rent free
events.
5. The management contract shall be granted for a two year period,
with the opportunity [o renew.
Control over the kinds of events scheduled in the stadium facility has been
identified as an important consideration for the City. However, including
this type of control in a management contract has been held invalid by :he
courts. The City of Burbank originally vied to include such a provision in
the management contract for its "Starlight Amphitheater," but was
required to eliminate the provision as it infringed on Fiat Amendment
rights.
November lg, 1992
Memorandum -- Stadium Managemrnt
Page 2
Thus, contractually the City cannot enforce restrictions on the kind of
entertainment held in the Stadium. The basis for ensuring that the
entertainment conforms with the community's standards is the
relationship between the City and management agent. It is incumbent,
therefore, that the management agent selected shaze the same goals as
those of the City.
Staff believes contracting with the team will provide the most benefit to
the City for the following reasons:
I. The team will be in the stadium offices yeaz round. By contracting
with the team, administrative and overhead costs will be reduced.
Additionally, this will provide continuity of management year
round.
2. Utilizing the team as the general manager will eliminate the
potential for conflicting scheduling of the facility.
3. The team has proposed to partner with Avalon Attractions to book
events for the facility. Avalon is the largest concert booking agent
on the west coast, and has an extensive background in booking
well-known acts in several Southern California venues, including
the Coliseum, Irvine Meadows, Universal Amphitheater, and Los
Angeles Sports Arena.
4. The team has an interest in seeing that the entertainment booked
into the facility does not damage the reputation nor the structure
of the facility, Thus, while not formally a part. of the management
contract, common concerns and shared goals of the City and team
will effect the same result.

The Regional Air Quality Element Subcommittee was
established as a joint County and City Subcommittee. The
Subcommittee's purpose was to produce a regional air
quality element. The County adopted their element August 12,
1991 and the Council appr:ved the adoption of our element
November 6, 1991. The next step in [he process is for the
County to draft an Ordinance that can be adopted by the
County and participating cities. The County has indicated the
draft Ordinance Is in progress.
Since the City Council also has established an Air Quality
Management District (AQMD) Committee, the Council may wish
to eliminate the Regional Air Quality Element Subcommittee
and have the AQMD Committee provide input to the County's
draft Ordinance along with providing liaison to the AQMD.
