upon the following findings and determinations:
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.

monitor construction activities to take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will 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 the summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Transfer collected specimens with a copy to the report to the San
Bernardino County Museum.

more to reduce PM10 emissions.
Hydrology and Water Quality
1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to
Building Official for approval, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities
entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical.
2) An erosion control plan shall be prepared, included in the grading plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to
control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities
are initiated through completion of grading. This erosion control plan shall
include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of
grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods
experienced in southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance
program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either
on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a

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 Tract Map SUBTT18710, Development and Design Review
DRC2008-00306, and Variance DRC2008-00762
Public Review Period Closes: January 14, 2009
Project Name: Project Applicant: Lewis Operating Corp.
Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the north side of Church Street and east
of Milliken Avenue —APN: 0227-532-16.
Project Description: A request to reduce the front-to-front building separation from 30 feet to
16 feet and the side-to-side building separation requirement from 15 feet to 8 feet for two-story
buildings;subdivide a partially developed lot of 20.69 acres into two lots for condominium purposes;
and to construct a multi-family housing development consisting of 241 units, and walls with a
calculated height of up to 10 feet high, on 15.69 acres of land within the Medium-High (MH)
Residential Development District(14-24 dwelling units per acre)of the Terra Vista Community Plan.
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 Reportwill 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.
NOTICE
The public is invited to comment on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
review period.
