A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVIING VARIANCE
DRC2009-00029, A REQUEST TO ALLOW COMBINATION RETAINING
AND FREESTANDING WALL HEIGHTS UP TO 24.5 FEET TO REDUCE
FREEWAY TRAFFIC NOISE RELATED TO THE PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT OF 30 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS WITHIN THE LOW
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (2 TO 4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE),
LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SR-210 FREEWAY WEST
BOUND OFFRAMP AT DAY CREEK BOULEVARD AND THE WEST SIDE
OF STABLE FALLS AVENUE; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THERE OF - APN: 0225-161-19, 32, 33, and 34.
A. Recitals.
1. FB Holdings, LLC filed an application for the issuance of Variance DRC2009-00029 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 24th day of February 2010, and continued to March 10, 2010, 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 on February 24,2010,and continued to March 10,2010, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically
finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located on the west side of
Day Creek Boulevard, south of Vintage Drive, with a street frontage of approximately 510 feet on
Saddle Tree Place and a lot depth of approximately 530 feet, and is presently vacant land; and
b. The application applies to the property located north of the SR-210 Freeway
westbound off ramp at Day Creek Boulevard and the west side of Stable Falls Avenue, with an
approximate street frontage of 400 feet and lot depth of 660 feet and is presently vacant. The site
generally slopes from north to south with alluvial fan sage brush as the predominant vegetation type;
and
C. The property to the north of the subject site is developed with single-family
residences and is zoned Low Residential; the property to the south is the SR-210 Freeway; the
property to the east is developed with single-family residences and is zoned Very Low Residential;
the property to west is partially developed with a single-family residence and is zoned Low
Residential; and

d. The Variance request is to increase the maximum allowable wall height from 6 feet
to 24.5 feet (combination freestanding and retaining wall); and
e. Literal enforcement of the wall height limit would cause a physical hardship and
practical difficultly for development of the property because of the presence of sound levels from the
SR-210 Freeway that exceed allowable limits as prescribed by the Development Code; and
f. There are exceptional circumstances applicable to the subject property that do not
apply to a majority of properties in the immediate surrounding area, in that the subdivision is located
adjacent to an off-ramp to the SR-210 Freeway. Further, the acoustic engineer for the project has
calculated that building surfaces will be exposed to noise levels of 79 CNEL along the
SR-210 Freeway. These sound levels create exceptional circumstances with regard to achieving an
adequate level of sound attenuation and the use and enjoyment of the properties in question; and
g. Literal enforcement of the wall height limit would deprive the applicant of privileges
enjoyed by other subdivisions in the Low Residential District, in that it would require the applicant to
significantly alter the proposed design, including using alternative construction methods and
significantly reducing the density of the development. Alternative designs and reductions in density
have not been required of other properties in the Low Residential District that are affected by high
sound levels from the SR-210 Freeway; and
h. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with
the limitations on other properties in the same zone, in that variances for wall heights have been
granted to neighboring subdivisions with similar noise conditions; and
i. Granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, in that the Variance provides the means to promote public safety and welfare by providing
the necessary sound attenuation required for the subdivision to adequately meet the required
exterior noise level standards for properties in the Low Residential District. Additionally, the
proposed sound wall will help reduce noise levels for existing property owners adjacent to the
project.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

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).
