A. Recitals.
1. KB Home Greater Los Angeles filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract
Map 16455, 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 27th day of August 2003, 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 August 27, 2003, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at the southwest comer of Base Line
Road and the southbound I-15 Freeway on-ramp, with a street frontage on Base Line Road of 426
feet and lot depth of approximately 804 feet, and is presently vacant; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site across Base Line Road consists of
single-family residential, the property to the south is vacant, the property to the east is the 1-15
Freeway, and the property to the west is vacant; and
C. 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; and
d. The applicant conducted one neighborhood meeting to inform surrounding
neighborhood residents of the property project and to obtain their feedback; and
e. The project design is consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the Optional
Development Standards therein, including, but not limited to, the following goals and policies:

i. Require a percentage of each lot or parcel to be left in open space.
Encourage preservation of open space in excess of mandatory requirements. The project includes
4.45 acres (40 percent) of landscaped common open space, exceeding the 30 percent required by
the Etiwanda Specific Plan.
ii. Create opportunities wherein a population diverse in terms of income, age,
occupation, race, ethnic background, lifestyle, values, interests, and religion may interact,exchange
ideas, and realize common goals. The project would create multiple-family attached homes with
differing price ranges adjacent to single-family detached houses.
iii. Encourage opportunities to mix different, but compatible, land uses and
activities. The project would add multiple-family attached residences adjacent to proposed single-
family detached residences. Residential land uses are considered compatible as opposed to more
intense commercial uses.
iv. Organize land uses to avoid creating nuisances among adjacent land uses.
(Consistent with the City's General Plan intent for Medium Residential District, this project will result
in an orderly transition in density and buffer between the Low-Medium Residential [4-8 dwelling units
per acre] density to the south and west of the site and the traffic noise of the 1-15 Freeway to the
east.)
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 is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,and
any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract 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 is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and
f. The design of the tentative tract 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. 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-115
SUBTT16455 - KB HOME GREATER LOS ANGELES INC.
August 27, 2003
Page 3
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 orthe 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.

• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to the San
Bernardino County Museum.
2) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor construction activities to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist,,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect the undesignated site from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological
heritage of the area.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of
approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant,
important, and unique prehistoric resources,following appropriate
CEQA conditions.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting
the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report,
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.

MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16455 and Development Review DRC2003-00100
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. 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
