AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DEVELOPMENT CODE
AMENDMENT DRC2014-00626, A REQUEST TO AMEND THE
DEVELOPMENT CODE TO INCORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS SUCH AS MINIMUM LOT DIMENSIONS, SETBACKS,
LOT COVERAGE, ETC. FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE MEDIUM (M) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS;
AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.
1. Manning Homes filed an application for the approval of Development Code Amendment
DRC2014-00626 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Development Code Amendment request is referred to as "the
application."
2. On the 13th day of August 2014, 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. On the 17th day of September 2014, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing
on that date.
4. 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 City Council of
the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Council hereby specifically finds that all of the fads set forth in the Recitals, Part A,
of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the
above-referenced public hearing September 17, 2014, including written and oral staff
reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. Currently, "basic" development standards are not provided in Table 17.36.010-1
of the Development Code; and
b. These standards describe the requirements for minimum lot area, minimum lot
dimensions (width, depth, street frontage, etc.), building setbacks, lot coverage,
etc. and are necessary in order to guide the City and applicants in developing
residential projects that are consistent with the General Plan, in accordance with
the objective of the applicable development district (zoning), and comply with
other standards and guidelines described in the Development Code; and
Ordinance No. 869— Page 1 of 4
c. As the standards do not exist, a set of development standards have been created
for incorporation into the Development Code and is shown as Attachment A to
this Ordinance; and
d. These development standards will apply to all single-family residential projects
that are proposed in the Medium (M) Residential Districts in the City except
within areas of the City governed by separate specific/community plans such as
Terra Vista, Victoria, and Etiwanda. In those specific/community plans, such
development standards already exist or, if they don't exist, will require separate
review and action by the City and, therefore, are not subject to this amendment;
and
e. This request is in response to a proposed single-family residential development
that was proposed by Manning Homes that contemplates a 45-lot subdivision of
a vacant parcel of about 7.16 acres within the Medium (M) and Low Medium (LM)
Residential Districts, located between Archibald Avenue and Ramona Avenue, at
the north side of the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail, about 1,400 feet north of
Base Line Road -APN: 1076-181-01; and
f. In the absence of development standards for single-family residential
development in the Medium (M) Residential Districts, Manning Homes would not
be able to develop the property as proposed; and
g. Development Code Amendment DRC2014-00626 conforms to and does not
conflict with the General Plan, including without limitation, the Land Use Element
thereof, and will provide for development in a manner consistent with the General
Plan.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed Development Code Amendment does not conflict with the Land
Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for the logical development of
the surrounding area; and
b. The proposed Development Code Amendment will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity; and
c. The proposed Development Code Amendment is in conformance with the
General Plan.
4. Table 17.36.010-1 entitled Development Standards for Residential Zoning Districts is
hereby deleted and replaced by Table 17.36.010-1 amended in words and figures as
shown in Attachment A of this Ordinance.
5. 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 City Council 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:
Ordinance No. 869 — Page 2 of 4
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 City Council 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 City Council further finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of
the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the City Council hereby
accepts the recommendation of the Planning Commission to adopt the Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
c. The City Council 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 City Council hereby accepts the recommendation of the
Planning Commission to adopt 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 recommendation 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.
6. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 above,
the City Council adopts Development Code Amendment DRC2014-00626 as identified in
this Ordinance and shown as Attachment A.
7. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
