3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting on April 9, 2003, 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. An Environmental Impact Report(EIR) (State Clearinghouse No.8808291)was prepared
and certified by the County of San Bernardino in June 1991, as a Master EIR for the University/Crest
Planned Development. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a
Master EIR has been certified, no further EIR or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent
projects within the scope of the Master EIR. On October 26, 1999, the City of Rancho Cucamonga
certified a supplement to the EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 98121091) because of a revision to the
University/Crest Planned Development. In August 2001, 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 EIR. Based upon the facts and information contained in the certified
EIRs, together with all written and oral reports, this Commission finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment, and concludes as
follows:
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous EIRs because of no new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and
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 EIRs due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; and
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 EIRs were
certified as complete that shows any of the following: 1)the project will have one or more significant
effects not discussed in the previous EIRs; 2) significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIRs; 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 EIRs, would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on
the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

C. Community Facilities Districts Annexation
1. There are no Fire District annexation Issues for this project. It is located within an existing Community
Facilities District for fire protection
D. Available Water Supply
a. Available Fire Flow:The Fire District requires proof of adequate fire flow for this project or portion
thereof portion for the project to be deemed as "complete." A finding of "inadequate"fire flow
available from the water district would necessitate changes in building design,floor area, type of
construction, or may require on-site water tank(s). Such changes will impact Planning and other
agency approval.
b. The applicant shall provide evidence that required minimum fire flow is available from the water
district serving the project.
c. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District Water Availability for Fire Protection Form shall
be signed by the Water District and submitted for approval by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire
Protection District.

system may be required in each structure affected by the insufficient flow.
e. A copy of the required form is attached at the end of this notice.
Submittal is Incomplete Until Required Form is Received by Fire District.
2. Minimum Fire Flow: The required minimum fire flow for this project is 1750 gallons per minute at a
minimum residual pressure of 20 pounds per square inch. This requirement is made in accordance with
Fire Code Appendix III-A, as amended, and Fire District Ordinances and Standards.
3. Consequences of Inadequate Water Supply: Inadequate water supply for firefighting and/or automatic
fire sprinkler systems will prevent the Fire District from approving a proposed project. Alternate equivalent
mitigation may be considered.
4. Inadequate Fire Flow: If inadequate fire flow is available for this project as submitted the following
possible changes must be considered:
a. Installation of approved on-site water supply, i.e., water storage tanks.
b. Installation of an approved automatic fire sprinkler system.
c. Reduction is the floor area of the proposed project.
d. Increase in the type of construction, i.e., Non-rated to one-hour, etc.

structure or facility shall be protected by an approved automatic fire sprinkler system or the structure shall be
relocated. Changes in the project to meet Fire District standards may have an impact on the approval of the
site by other agencies.
2. No Access Problems:There are no outstanding "incompleteness"items related to FD access for this
project. For outstanding technical issues see below.
