SUBTPM16728, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16728 request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 13th day of July 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.

lots the widths at the front yard setback and depths will be in excess of the minimums established for
this development district; and
d. At this time, the applicant has not submitted any proposals to construct any
