A. Recitals.
1. Steve Wu filed an application for the Design Review of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16421, 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 25th day of May 2005, 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:

Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting on May 25, 2005, including written and oral staff reports,this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located on the east side of Hermosa Avenue
on the south side of Wilson Avenue, with a street frontage of 198 feet and lot depth of 615 feet, and
is presently vacant; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is Low Residential, the property to the
south is Low Residential, the property to the east is Low Residential, and the property to the west is
Hermosa Elementary School; and
C. The proposed home designs are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the

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

4. An Environmental Review was completed with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16421 and
original Development Review for this site, and approved by the Planning Commission on November

Declaration has been adopted, no further environmental review is required for subsequent projects
within the scope of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The proposed project of eight single-family
residences is within the scope of the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration. Based upon the facts and
information contained in the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with written and oral staff
reports, the Planning Commission finds that there are no substantial changes in the project or the
site and its surrounding conditions, that would require revision to the previous Mitigated Negative
Declaration. All environmental mitigation measures from the previously approved tract and
development review shall apply to this project.

this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below
and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference:
Planning Department
1) A minimum 5-foot planter shall be provided between the sidewalk and
the comer side yard walls for Lot 1.
