MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM16926 and Development Review DRC2004-01013
Public Review Period Closes: September 28, 2005
Project Name: Project Applicant: Jeff Meiter
Project Location (also see attached map): Located between Richmond Place, Buffalo Avenue,
and fronts along 4th Street—APN: 0229-263-49 thru 53.
Project Description: A request to subdivide 18.27 acres into 9 parcels and a request to develop a
118,470 square foot retail center in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 12).
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga,acting as the lead agency,has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted,the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-
2847.
