A. Recitals.
1. BCA Development filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16226, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,the subject
Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 24th day of July 2002, 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 July 24, 2002,.including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located north of Wilson Avenue, east of Day
Creek Boulevard, and on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue with a lot width of 3,140 feet and lot
depth of 1,635 feet, and is presently vacant undeveloped land; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant land and the North Etiwanda
Preserve, the property to the south is the Rancho Etiwanda , a single-family residential development
currently under construction, the property to the east is vacant undeveloped land (Etiwanda Creek
lies 0.5 mile to the east of the project site), and the property to the west is a 240-foot wide Southern
California Edison (SCE) utility corridor; and
C. The project consists of 6 parcels for residential development with private, non-
exclusive easements for streets, landscaping and sidewalk purposes, sewer, storm drain, and
temporary detention basin purposes; and
d. Development of the project will result in the loss of 251.58 acres of Riversidian
Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS). The developer is dedicating one-half interest in a 172-acre
off-site parcel containing RAFSS and will purchase a minimum of 110 acres, consisting of chaparral
and coastal sage scrub plant communities or its equivalent, including an endowment, sufficiently

funded to provide for the long-term maintenance of any mitigation site, as required by the
Development Agreement and the Mitigation Monitoring Program contained within the Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report (SEIR).
e. The project will generate traffic trips that can be accommodated through street
improvement upgrades as conditioned herein; and
f. The project conforms to the basic development standards of the Etiwanda North
Specific Plan in terms of overall project density; and
g. The project and the intended use, together with all conditions of approval and the
provisions of the Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public health and safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project proponent is
required to construct Day Creek Boulevard from the northerly terminus in the "University"
development to Etiwanda Avenue.
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. That the tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan, Development
Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract map 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 design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The tentative tract map is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and
f. The design of the tentative tract map will not conflict with any easement acquired by
the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision.
4. An Environmental Impact Report(State Clearinghouse No. 8808291)was prepared and
certified by the County of San Bernardino as a Master Environmental Impact Report for the
University/Crest Planned Development. The California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)provides
that once a Master Environmental Impact Report has been certified, no further Environmental Impact
Report or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects within the scope of the Master
Environmental Impact Report. On October 26, 1999, the County of San Bernardino Board of
Supervisors certified a supplement to the Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse
No. 98121091) because of a revision to the University/Crest Planned Development. In August 1999,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga prepared an Addendum to address issues associated with adoption
of the Rancho Etiwanda Development Agreement. The Addendum identified no substantial changes
in the project that would require a major revision to the previous Environmental Impact Report.
Based upon the facts and information contained in the certified Environmental Impact Report,
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 02-77
SUBTT16226 - BCA DEVELOPMENT
July 24, 2002
Page 3
together with all written and oral reports, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment.
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous Environmental Impact Report because of no new significant environmental effects or
substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects.
b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken, which will require major revisions to the previous Environmental
Impact Report because of the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
C. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Environmental
Impact Report was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: 1) the project will have
one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Environmental Impact Report; 2)
significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous
Environmental Impact Report; 3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
the project but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or 4)
mitigation measures or alternatives,which are considerably different from those analyzed in the final
Environmental Impact Report, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below
and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
