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 October 26, 2005, including written and oral staff reports, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:

f. The related Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16716 was approved bythis Commission
on July 28, 2004.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; and
d. 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.
4. An Environmental Review was completed with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16716
for this site and approved by the Planning Commission on July 28, 2004. The California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that once a Mitigated Negative 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 22 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.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
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.
