SECTION 4: Terra Vista Planned Community Land Use Plan (Figure III-17), is hereby
amended to include a Conceptual Master Plan, as shown in Exhibit "B".
SECTION 5: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's
local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects
of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that,
with the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the
project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of
the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
a. The City Council has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole
record before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance
with CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning
Commission therefore is forwarding the proposed Negative Declaration to the City Council for
their final consideration as the adoption will reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the
City Council. Based on their initial findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends
adoption of the Negative Declaration by the City Council.
b. The City Council has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure
compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The City Council
therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
c. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of
proceedings upon which the City Council's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning
Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho
Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.

Ordinance is, for any reason, deemed or held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of
any court of competent jurisdiction, or preempted by legislative enactment, such decision or
legislation shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City
Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby declares that it would have adopted this
Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or words thereof, regardless
of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, clauses, phrases, or words might
subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional or preempted by subsequent legislation.

the same to be published within 15 days after its passage at least once in the Inland Valley
