A. Recitals. 1. KB Home Greater Los Angeles Inc. filed an application for Development Review DRC2003-00100, the Design Review of Tract SUBTT16455, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review 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 1-15 freeway onramp, 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 I-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: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-116 DRC2003-00100 - KB HOME GREATER LOS ANGELES INC. August 27, 2003 Page 2 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 specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby specifically finds and concludes as follows: a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan;and b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code; and d. That the proposed design, 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. 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 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. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-116 DRC2003-00100 - KB HOME GREATER LOS ANGELES INC. August 27, 2003 Page 3 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. 5.
