5. 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 facts and information contained in the record of this project,the Planning
Commission makes the following findings and statements, and takes the following actions, pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et
seq.):
a. The Project that has been evaluated under CEQA involves a series of actions
related to the annexation of land from unincorporated San Bernardino County into the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, the approval of a General Plan Amendment, Etiwanda North Specific Plan Amendment,
Tentative Tract Map No. 14749 ("TTM 14749") and the associated Development Agreement. The
proposed project includes 269 single-family housing units on approximately 168.8 acres and includes
a 3.1 acre neighborhood park, 2.7 acre equestrian park, .44 acre equestrian trail, and 61.5 acres of
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-79
SUBTT14749—TRAIGH PACIFIC

Page 2
remainder lots for flood control purposes. The gross density of the project is approximately 1.59
dwelling units per acre, a net density of 2.5 units per acre, a minimum lot size of 8,400 square feet,
and an average lot size of 11,600 square feet.
b. The City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, prepared the Draft
Environmental Impact Report ("Draft EIR") for the Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2003081085).
The Draft EIR was circulated for a 45-day public review and comment period from December5,2003
through January 28, 2004. Comments were received during that period and written responses were
prepared and sent to all commentors. Those comments and the responses thereto have been
included in the Final EIR, as have the appendices to the Draft EIR. Those documents together
comprise the Final EIR.
C. The Planning Commission finds that the Final EIR was completed pursuant to the
CEQA, and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, 14 California Code of Regulations,
Section 15000, at. seq. ("the Guidelines"). By Resolution No. 04-75, the Planning Commission has
certified the EIR as being in compliance with the requirements of the CEQA.
d. The Planning Commission finds that the Final EIR was presented to the Planning
Commission and that the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the information in the Final
EIR and has reached its own conclusions with respect to the Project and as to whether and how to
recommend approval of various components of the project approvals before taking its action in this
Resolution.
e. The Planning Commission finds that the Final EIR represents the independent
judgment of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and adequately addresses
the impacts of the Project and imposes appropriate mitigation measures for the Project.
f. The Planning Commission finds, based upon the Initial Study,the Final EIR, public
comments, public agency comments, and the entire record before it, that the Project may create
significant impacts in the areas of Earth Resources; Water Resources;Transportation/Circulation;Air
Quality, Biological Resources, Hazards, Noise, Public Services, Utilities, Aesthetics, and Cultural
Resources. The proposed project will also contribute incrementally to cumulatively considerable
impacts related to land use, flood control, water quality from urban runoff, loss of alluvial fan sage
scrub, hazardous material dumping, congestion of evacuation routes, overcrowded schools,
inadequate utilities, and loss of views. With respect to the impacts to all of these resources and
services, the EIR identifies mitigation measures for each of those impacts that will substantially
lessen the impacts.
g. Implementation of mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR will substantially
mitigate many of the environmental impacts described in paragraph f of this Section, to the extent
feasible, as described in Exhibit "A" of Resolution No. 04-75, which is incorporated herein by
reference. The Final EIR also identifies significant adverse impacts that cannot be fully mitigated or
avoided, including impacts from short-term impacts on air quality from construction-related
emissions, long-term impacts on air quality from project emissions, and biological resources.
h. The Final EIR describes a range of alternatives to the Project that might fulfill basic
objectives of the Project. These alternatives include the required "No Project-No Development"
alternative, and the "No Project—Open Space" alternative, the "Reduced Density" alternative, the
Modified Site Plan (clustered)" alternative, and the `Rural Density" Alternative. As set forth in the
Exhibit "A" of Resolution No. 04-75, the alternatives identified in the EIR are not feasible because
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-79
SUBTT14749 —TRAIGH PACIFIC
June 9, 2004
Page 3
they would not achieve the basic objectives of the Project or would do so only to a much smaller
degree and, therefore, leave unaddressed the significant economic, infrastructure,and General Plan
goals that the Project is intended to accomplish, and are thus infeasible due to social and economic
considerations, and/or they are infeasible because they would not eliminate the adverse
environmental impacts of the proposed Project. Accordingly,the Planning Commission finds each of
the alternatives is infeasible.
i. Mitigation measures described in the Mitigation Monitoring Program will avoid or
substantially lessen the potentially significant environmental effects of the Project. Further, the
environmental, physical, social, economic and other benefits of the Project, as set forth in this
Section and Resolution No. 04-75, and specifically Exhibit"A"thereto, which is incorporated herein
by this reference, outweigh any unavoidable, significant, adverse impacts that may occur as a result
of the Project, including short-term impacts on air quality from construction-related emissions,
cumulative long-term impacts on air quality from project emissions, and impacts to biological
resources. Therefore, due to overriding benefits of the Project and because the alternatives
identified in the EIR are not feasible, as discussed in paragraph i above, the Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the City Council find that any unavoidable impacts of the Project, including
the mitigated but unavoidable impacts from short-term impacts on air quality from construction-
related emissions, long-term impacts on air quality from project emissions, and impacts to biological
resources are acceptable based on the findings contained herein and in Resolution No. 04-75 and
the staff report, which are incorporated herein by this reference. This determination shall constitute
the Planning Commission's adoption of a statement of overriding considerations within the meaning
of CEQA and is based on any one of the following environmental and other benefits of the Project
identified in the Final EIR and the record of the Planning Commission's proceedings:
i. Providing for the use of land consistent with the established policies and goals
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan, Etiwanda North Specific Plan, City Development
Code, and all other City Development guidelines;
ii. Annexing the project site into the City of Rancho Cucamonga;
iii. Integrating the project with the character of the surrounding neighborhoods
and establish a development that results in logical, coordinated growth;
iv. Establishing a project-wide circulation system that meets regional and local
transportation needs and accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians;
V. Providing a system of public/community facilities, including trails,open space
areas, and landscaping to support the residents of the project and surrounding area in an efficient
and timely manner;
vi. Limiting Impacts to surrounding uses and residents, and to the community
character;
vii. Providing backbone public infrastructure(i.e. roads, utilities)to serve project
residents and the surrounding community;
viii. Minimizing impacts to, and generate revenues in excess of costs for, various
public service agencies, and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-79
SUBTT14749—TRAIGH PACIFIC
June 9, 2004
Page 4
iv. Providing quality housing opportunities compatible with existing and planned
development that responds to market demands.
j. The Planning Commission adopts the Mitigation Measures in the FINAL EIR that
correspond to the environmental impacts which may result from the Project and makes those
measures conditions of approval incorporated into the Project. The Planning Commission also
adopts the "Mitigation Monitoring Plan" attached hereto as Exhibit "A". The Mitigation Monitoring
Plan will be used to monitor compliance with the mitigation measures and conditions that have been
adopted or made a condition of Project approval as set forth in this Section of this Resolution and
Exhibit "A" of this Resolution.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on June 9, 2004, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to 168.77 acres of property, located north of the SCE

b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated Flood Control/Utility
Corridor and Hillside Residential and is comprised of vacant land, utility corridors, and scattered
single-family residences. The property to the southeast is designated Very Low Residential,
Conservation and Flood Control/Utility Corridor and includes Etiwanda Creek Flood Control basins
and conservation area. The property to the east is currently vacant and is designated Very Low
Residential and Low Residential and is the site of Rancho Etiwanda and Rancho Etiwanda Estates.
The property to the east is designated Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre)and is the
site of proposed Tentative Tract Map 16324 — Henderson Creek Properties. The property to the
south is designated Flood Control/Utility Corridor, Conservation, and Very Low Residential and
includes vacant land, and utility corridors and is the proposed site of Tentative Tract Map 16072—
Richland Pinehurst; and
C. The tentative tract map includes the subdivision of 168.77 acres and will include
269 residential lots and 18 lettered lots. Residential lots will have a minimum lot size of 8,400
square feet and an average lot size of 11,600 square feet. The density will be approximately 2.5
dwelling units per acre based on 269 units on 107.3 acres proposed for housing, drainage,and open
space. The 18 lettered lots will consist of designated parks, equestrian trial, and open space
drainage/flood control areas. The project proposes 5.81 acres of parks on two sites. One park is
designated as a trailhead for the North Etiwanda Preserve and will consist of 3.10 acres and will be
located at the southwest corner of the project site. The other park site is designated for equestrian
use and will include 2.71 acres and is proposed near the southeast comer of the project site
adjacent to the flood control channel.
d. The project is consistent with the density provisions of the General Plan Land Use
Designations of Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre)as averaged across the project site(as
described in subsection c. above); and
e. The equestrian park will connect to a proposed equestrian trail located adjacent to
the flood control channel. Both parks are located outside the gated residential portion of the project
and therefore are accessible to the general public; and
