Recitals. 1. Concordia Homes filed an application for the approval of Development Review 00-47, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On January 10, and continued to January 24, 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a meeting on the application and concluded said meeting on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced meeting on January 10, and January 24, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located along the south side of Camino Predera with a street frontage of 3,300 feet and lot depth of 260 feet and is presently vacant; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with single family homes, the property to the south consists of vacant land and abandoned rail corridor(future regional multi-purpose trail), the property to the east is developed with single family homes, and the property to the west is vacant and developed with condominiums; and C. The potential environmental impacts related to air quality, tree removal, noise, and geological hazards can be mitigated to a level of less than significant through compliance with the recommended environmental mitigation measures; and d. The proposed homes are of very high architectural design quality with 360-degree enhancement; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 01-11 DR 00-47—CONCORDIA HOMES January 24, 2001 Page 2 e. The project is designed with a majority of the homes set well below the level of the street thereby preserving existing views far beyond what is typically achieved elsewhere in the City; and f. The design includes a sophisticated retaining wall system that allows landscaping to be planted on the surface of walls, intensified slope landscaping, and decorative block walls that will enhance the visual quality of the project; and g. The project is designed to be consistent with all requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations with the exception of slope gradient and retaining wall height for which a Variance application has been requested; and h. The project will enhance the surrounding area by virtue of high quality home and landscaping design that exceeds that of the area; and i. The project fosters provident use and development of existing lots of record; and j. The grading design includes rounded slopes to provide a softer, more natural appearance. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code; and d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration,together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative Declaration with regard to the application. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 01-11 DR 00-47 —CONCORDIA HOMES January 24, 2001 Page 3 b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project,which are listed below as conditions of approval. C. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources orthe habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 5.
