The application applies to the property located north of Day Creek Boulevard and west of Etiwanda Avenue, south of the North Etiwanda Preserve and east of the Southern California Edison Corridor, and is presently improved with rough grading, curb, gutter, and utilities; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant land of the North Etiwanda Preserve, the property to the south consists of single-family residential, the property to the east is Etiwanda Avenue and vacant land, and the property to the west is a 240-foot wide Southern California Edison (SCE) utility corridor; and C. The project consists of a Development Review of 70 lots, master planned by BCA Development; and d. The sewer, storm drain, detention basin, curb, and gutter improvements are installed; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 11-02 DRC2010-00318— RYLAND HOMES January 12, 2011 Page 2 e. The project conforms to the basic Development Standards of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan with required architectural elevations, slope requirements, and overall project density. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting 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 objectives of the General Plan by providing a variety of housing units that are compatible with the surrounding area; and b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located by adhering to all setback, height and density regulations that govern the area where these homes are being constructed; and C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code in that single-family residences are an approved use within the Low Residential Zoned District; and d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all the 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, the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors certified an Environmental Impact Report in June 1991, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was certified by the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors in October 1999, and an Initial Study Addendum was certified by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in connection with the approval of Tentative Tract Map 16227. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless:(i)substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under, which the project was previously reviewed the indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or(iv)additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Development Review application, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previously certified EIR. The proposed Development Review contemplates the construction of 70 single-family homes,which was evaluated and within the scope of the prior EIR, SEIR and Initial Study Addendum. The proposed development does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the tract map. Staff furtherfinds that PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 11-02 DRC2010-00318— RYLAND HOMES January 12, 2011 Page 3 the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previously certified EIR, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-significant. The proposed Development Review application does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the Tract Map. C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Development Review DRC2010-00318. 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.
