A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE DRC2006-00538, A
REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED LOT AREA AVERAGE FROM
15,000 SQUARE FEET TO APPROXIMATELY 14,400 SQUARE FEET IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A PROPOSAL TO SUBDIVIDE A PROPERTY OF 1 ACRE
INTO THREE (3) PARCELS IN THE LOW (L) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT,
LOCATED AT 6970 EAST AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - APN: 0227-121-34.
A. Recitals.
1. David Ferrera filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2006-00538, as described
in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution,the subject Variance request is referred to as
"the application."
2. On the 14th day of November 2007, 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.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
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 public hearing November 14, 2007, including written and oral staff reports,togetherwith public
testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a parcel that is generally rectangular in shape with overall
dimensions of about 320 feet from east to west and about 132 feet from north to south; and
b. The existing topography slopes gently from north to south; and
C. The lots to the north, south, and east are zoned Low Residential and developed with
single-family residences; and
d. The applicant proposes subdividing the site into three lots.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above referenced public hearing, and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would
result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the
Development Code. In that, without a reduction in the lot area requirement, the applicant would have to
subdivide the site into fewer lots that in turn would be much larger than the other lots with which it will
share a new cul-de-sac, which would be inconsistent with the intent of the Development Code.

b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in
the same district. In that,the reduction in the required 15,000 square foot average lot area requirement by
600 square feet per lot will allow the applicant to create lots that are substantially similar in size and
character to the other lots on the proposed cul-de-sac. Each of the proposed lots exceeds the minimum
depth, width, and lot size requirements of the Low Residential District.
C. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. In that,
without the reduction in the average lot area requirement, the site would have to be subdivided into lots
that are larger in size and out of character to the lots in the surrounding neighborhood.
d. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. In that,the applicant is
requesting to subdivide the site into lots that are at a similar density to the other lots on the cul-de-sac and
more recent subdivisions to the south and east.
e. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. In that, the newly created lots
will be indistinguishable from the surrounding lots other than being on average 600 square feet smaller in
size than the 15,000 square foot lot average requirement.
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("CEQX)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.

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.: SUBTPM18196 and DRC2006-00538
Public Review Period Closes: October 24, 2007
Project Name: Project Applicant: David Ferrera
Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the west side of East Avenue and south of
Victoria Street at 6970 East Avenue -APN: 0227-121-34.
Project Description: A request to subdivide a property of 1 acre into three(3)parcels in the Low(L)
Residential District and a request for a Variance to reduce the required lot area average from
15,000 square feet to approximately 14,400 square feet.
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.
