A. Recitals. 1. Young California Homes filed an application for the approval of Development Review No. DRC2002-00442, 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 the 11 th day of September 2002; 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 September 11, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located at the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Banyan Street with a street frontage of 450 feet along Banyan Street and 620 feet along Day Creek Boulevard,further,the project has a maximum depth of 1,930feet running north to south from Banyan Street, and a maximum width of 975 feet running east to west from Day Creek Boulevard, and is presently vacant; and b. The properties to the north and south of the subject site are vacant. The property to the west is the Day Creek Channel, and to the east is Day Creek Boulevard; and C. The property has been rough graded; and d. The project consists of Tract 14493 (69 Lots) and 40 lots of Tract 14522; and e. The project falls within the Rancho Etiwanda Planned Development. 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: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 02-87 DRC2002-00442—YOUNG CALIFORNIA HOMES September 11, 2002 Page 2 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. 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 the 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,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.
