A. Recitals. 1. Lewis Apartment Communities filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract SUBTT18782, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tentative Tract request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 8th day of December 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 December 8, 2010, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to an 11.15-acre vacant project site located on the south side of Church Street between Elm Avenue, Spruce Avenue, and Town Center Drive; and b. The site is bounded by a multi-family development to the north, the Terra Vista Town Center commercial center to the south and east and offices to the west. The site slopes from north to south and is covered with non-native grasses, which are routinely disced for weed control. There are no unique features, nor any existing structures or trees on the site; and C. The application is to subdivide approximately 11.15 acres of land for condominium purposes; and d. The proposed subdivision is related to Development Review DRC2010-00361; and e. The land use designation for the site is High Residential (H), which has a density range of 24 to 31 units per acre. The Terra Vista Community Plan permits the site to be developed at the Medium High (MH) density range (14 to 24 units per acre) with the approval of the Design Review PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10-60 SUBTT18782 — LEWIS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES December 8, 2010 Page 2 Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council. The proposed density is approximately 17.45 units per acre; and f. The reduction in density from High Residential (H) to Medium High Residential (MH) will not preclude the City from meeting its regional housing needs as outlined in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and incorporated into the Housing Element of the General Plan. The City has been allocated a RHNA construction goal of 1,282 units for the planning period of 2006 through 2014. Since 2006, the City has achieved a significant portion of its RHNA goal and the Housing Element has identified sufficient remaining vacant land to fully meet the 1,282 unit goal, even when taking into account the reduction in density on the project site. 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. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and b. The proposed design or improvements are consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and d. The design of the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and e. The project is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based 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. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10-60 SUBTT18782 — LEWIS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES December 8, 2010 Page 3 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.

Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM10 emissions from the site during such episodes. 4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or 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 remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10-60 SUBTT18782 — LEWIS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES December 8, 2010 Page 11 3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there is rainfall or other runoff. 4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site. 5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by Madole & Associates, Inc. on September 15, 2010, to reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 6) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. 7) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer for approval of a WQMP, including a project description and identifying BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. 8) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit. Noise 1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction-related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 2) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. 3) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10-60 SUBTT18782 — LEWIS APARTMENT COMMUNITIES December 8, 2010 Page 12 line. The developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with above noise standards or halted. 4) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in the first phase. 5) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. 6.
