A. Recitals.
1. Trimark Pacific Homes, L.P., filed an application for Development Review
DRC2004 01107, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 13th day of July of 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga held a meeting to consider the application.
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 meeting on July 13, 2005, including written and oral staff reports,this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located on the west side of East Avenue north of
Banyan Street,with a street frontage of approximately 481 feet on East Avenue. The property has a
final Tract Map (SUBTT16113) and has been rough graded; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and is zoned Low Residential;
the property to the south is developed with Fire Station 176 and a single-family dwelling unit and is
zoned Estate Residential; the property to the east is vacant and is zoned Neighborhood Commercial
and Very Low Residential; and the property to the west is developed with the Cucamonga Valley
Water District Treatment Plan and is zoned Very Low Residential; 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 proposed project and to obtain their feedback and no residents
attended the meeting; and
e. The project design meets or exceeds the Very Low Residential District Basic
Development Standards; and

f. The design of the single-family homes accomplishes 360-degree architectural
treatment by the application of complementary primary and secondary materials and architectural
elements to all sides of the dwelling units; therefore, the architectural design of the project meets the
design goals of the General Plan and Development Code.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting on July 13, 2005, including written and oral staff reports,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. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted on June 27, 2001, for Tract Map
SUBTT16113. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental
review or Mitigated Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to
projects within the scope of a previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Based upon the facts and
information contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports,
the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect upon the environment.
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require major revisions
to the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration because of new significant environmental effects or
substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects.
b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken,which will require major revisions to the previous Mitigated Negative
Declaration because of the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
C. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Mitigated
Negative Declaration was adopted that shows any of the following: 1) the project will have one or
more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration; 2) significant
effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration; 3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
4) mitigation measures or alternatives, which are considerably different from those analyzed in the
Negative Declaration,would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment,
but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
