4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the
application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and 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, the 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,the 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.

This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the (Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Impact Report) for the
above-listed project. This program has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that
adopted mitigation measures are implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3., The MMP has been designed to provide focused, .yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action,what action will betaken and when,and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

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-
