A. Recitals. 1. Van Daele Development Corporation filed an application on May 8, 2001, for the extension of the approval of Tentative Tract Map 15540, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject tentative tract map time extension request is referred to as "the application." 2. On June 23, 1993, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 93-46, thereby approving Tentative Tract Map 15540, subject to specific conditions and time limits. 3. On August 11, 1999, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 99-81, thereby approving a one-year time extension for Tentative Tract Map 15540 and adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration. 4. On June 28, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 00-67, thereby approving a one-year time extension for Tentative Tract Map 15540 and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring Program. 5. On August 8, 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. 6. 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 substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing on August 8, 2001, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The previously approved tentative tract map is in substantial compliance with the City's current General Plan, specific plans, ordinances, plans, codes, and policies; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 01-80 TT15540—VAN DAELE DEVELOPMENT CORP. August 8, 2001 Page 2 b. The extension of the tentative tract map approval will not cause significant inconsistencies with the current General Plan,specific plans,ordinances,plans,codes,and policies; and C. The extension of the tentative tract map approval is not likelyto cause public health and safety problems; and d. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local ordinance; and e. The extension of the tentative tract map is in compliance with the Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning Commission on August 11, 1999; and f. The Mitigation Monitoring Program and Checklist, adopted by the Planning Commission on June 28, 2000, brought the project entitlement into conformance with adopted CEQA Guidelines. g. Based upon a third party review of the two geology reports,an additional mitigation measure is being added; therefore, a new Mitigated Negative Declaration is being adopted. 3. 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 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 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(c-1-d)of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

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 for each 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.

The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of development. 5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP Reporting Form. 6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions. An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel. 7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written notification has been issued.
