Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the
project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period
and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,
California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.

permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings thatwill also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures
(i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but
not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor,trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository(i.e., San Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San
Bernardino County Museum.

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
