NOW,THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:

Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.

C. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
d. The subject application is consistent with the objectives of the Rancho Cucamonga
]ASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan, and the purposes of the Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18
Specific Plan; and
e. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan.
4. An Environmental Impact Report(EIR)was prepared and certified as a Master EIR for the
Rancho Cucamonga ]ASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan. The California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)Section 21157.1 provides that the preparation and certification of a Master EIR allows forthe
limited review of subsequent projects that were described in the Master EIR as being within the
scope of the reporting accordance with certain requirements. However, because of the changes that
are submitted by this project, an Addendum was prepared for said project. An addendum to the
Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan Final EIR is appropriate documentation because
some changes or additions are necessary to describe the proposed residential project but none of
the conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a
subsequent EIR have occurred. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the
attached addendum based on the following findings:
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous EIR because of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
severity of 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 EIR 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 EIR 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 EIR, 2) significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR, 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 EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,this
Commission hereby recommends approval of Rancho Cucamonga IASP Subarea 18 Specific Plan
Amendment DRC2003-00255, as shown in the staff report.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 11TH DAY OF JUNE 2003.
