SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF
ETIWANDA AVENUE AND GARCIA DRIVE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 1100-151-01, AND 02.
A. Recitals.
1. Rancho Cucamonga Land Company filed an application for the approval of Conditional
Use Permit 00-47 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject conditional use permit request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of April 2001, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
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 public hearing on April 11, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically rinds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located on the southeast comer of Etiwanda
Avenue and Garcia Drive,with a street frontage of approximately 670 feet on Etiwanda Avenue,and
an approximate lot depth of 1,300 feet, and is presently vacant; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is being built with single-family homes.
The property to the south is vacant, but is planned for commercial development. To the east is a
proposed park and a drainage detention basin; and to the west, across Etiwanda Avenue, the
property is planned for single-family residential development, and
C. The application contemplates the development of 272 apartments on 20 acres of
land within the Medium Residential District, Etiwanda South Overlay District, and Etiwanda Avenue
Overlay District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
d. The property has a substantial low-point in the central portion near the south
property line. The proposed grading concept contemplates filling this low-point to raise it to a level
consistent with the remainder of the property. The proposed fill will require construction of a
retaining wall of up to 7.5 feet in height along a portion of the south property line.

3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing 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 conditional use permit is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the project is consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The development of the proposed project will not cause a significant traffic impact
on the surrounding area; and
e. The design of the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage
and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
f. The design of the project will not conflict with any easement acquired by the public
at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property.
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
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project,which are listed
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 or the 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(o-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

This Mitigation Monitoring Program(MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action
and the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of
approval are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined foreach action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management-The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants'fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action,what action will be taken and when,
and to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting
documentation will be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority
for processing the project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following
