2) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction field survey
of the project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further
mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be
appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program
must include, but not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• 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.
Geology and Soils
1) All recommendations from the geotechnical engineering investigation
by MTC Engineering, Inc., dated September 11, 2003, shall be
incorporated into the working drawings submitted for plan check and
implemented during construction.
2) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent
(approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB)daily to reduce PM10 emissions,
in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
3) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule
established by the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with
vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon the
time of year of construction.
4) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed
25 mph to minimize PM10 emissions from the site during such
episodes.
5) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall
be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for

Page 8
that shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction
activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent
practical.
2) An erosion control plan shall be prepared, included in the grading plan,
and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific
measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground
disturbing activities are initiated through completion of grading. This
erosion control plan shall include the following measures at a
minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and construction to
minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in southern
California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be
included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or
off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a
remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.
3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel
dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the
site when there is rainfall or other runoff.
4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be
performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to
control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from
the site.
5) SD-10 Site Design & Landscape Planning: Slopes/open space within
the project area will be vegetated with grass, plants,and trees in order
to maximize infiltration and slow down the run-off from open space
towards private access roads, so that pollutant can be filtered from
surface water.
6) SD-11 Roof Runoff: Control Downspout will be used to collect all the
roofwater to a single collection point, which is desirable for allowing
infiltration. For instance, planter area around the residential building
structures can be a proper place for downspout discharge.
7) SD-12 Efficient Irrigation: Timer, rain-triggered shut-off device, flow
reducers will be installed in the project irrigation system so as to control
potential excessive irrigation water spilling over the surface. Plus,
landscape areas at the frontages of the two main entrances (Arrow
Route and Baker Avenue)can help reducing run-off quantity towards
public streets right-of-way.
8) SD-13 Storm Drain Signage: Stencil sign of"NO DUMPING—DRAINS
TO OCEAN" will be placed at each of the on-site curb inlet catch
basins in order to alert the public about the prohibitation against waste
disposal.
9) MP-52 Drain Inserts: KRISTAR fossil filter inserts (curb mounted), or
engineer approved equal devices, will be installed at each of the
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 05-21

Page 9
on-site inlet catch basins in order to remove organic sediments and
debris. Regular maintenance will be carried out by the Homeowners'
Association (HOA) to make sure the fossil filters are functioning
properly throughout the rainy season.
10) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water
Quality Management Plan (WQMP)prepared by Pinewave Design and
Engineering to reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm
drain system to the maximum extent practical.
11) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and
minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped
areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to
ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas,
including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be
submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of
grading permits.
12) Prior to issuance of,building permits, the applicant shall submit to the
City Engineer for approval of a WQMP, including a project description
and identifying BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into
the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The
WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures
consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and
Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in
June 2004.
13) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall
submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water
Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained(i.e.,a
copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be
submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES
General Construction Permit.
Noise
1) An 8-foot high masonry wall will be constructed along the southern
boundary of the project that fronts Arrow Route.
2) A final acoustical report shall be submitted for City Planner review and
approval prior to the issuance of building permits. The final report shall
discuss the level of interior noise attenuation to below 45 CNEL, the
building materials and construction techniques required. The building
plans will be checked for conformance with the mitigation measures
contained in the final report.

8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any
time on Sunday or a national holiday.
4) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards
specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at
the property line. The developer shall hire a consultant to perform
weekly noise level monitoring as specified in Development Code
Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may be required by the
Building Official. Said consultant shall report their findings to the
Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the
above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the
Planning Department. If noise levels exceed the above standards,
then construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of
compliance with above noise standards or halted.
5) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in
first phase following rough grading and site cleaming.
6) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of
8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any
time on Sunday or a national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used
for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips(counting both to and from the
construction site), then the developer shall prepare a noise mitigation
plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes. To the extent
feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive
land uses or residential dwellings.
