e. The proposal is to subdivide the property into 76 lots for single-family residential
development. Development/construction of the homes following the subdivision of the property will
be by others, as it is not the intent of the applicant to do so themselves; and
f. All lots will comply with the development standards applicable to this zoning district
as described in Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Individual lot areas will range between
21,780 square feet to 36,890 square feet,which are in excess of the minimum of 20,000 square feet
that is required. The minimum average lot area is 25,230 square feet, which is in excess of the
minimum 25,000 that is required; and
g. This application is in conjunction with Variance DRC2009-00020 and Tree Removal
Permit DRC2009-00224.
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 development is in accord with the General Plan,the objectives of the
Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and the purposes of the district in which the site
is located. The proposal is to subdivide a property consisting of five (5) parcels with a combined
area of approximately 2,350,000 square feet (53 acres) into 76 lots for single-family residential
development. The underlying General Plan designation is Very Low Residential.
b. The proposed development,togetherwith the conditions applicable thereto,will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The project site is vacant; the proposed land use is consistent with the
land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the community. The zoning
of the property and all surrounding properties is Very Low (VL) Residential District,
Etiwanda Specific Plan.
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan except for the proposed noise attenuation walls
along the perimeter of the proposed subdivision that will be in excess of 6 feet in height. The
applicant has submitted a Variance request for consideration by the Planning Commission. The
proposed development, otherwise, meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning
Commission and the City.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 11-56

November 9, 2011
Page 3
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.

they should be avoided by an appropriate buffer, as determined by a
qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary"no construction"area would
have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as
determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is
complete and all nestlings have fledged and left the nest, then
construction in the area could resume. If initial ground disturbing
activities or site clearing is proposed to occur outside of the nesting
season (September 1 through January 31), then a preconstruction
survey would not be required and construction could commence
unimpeded.
5) The applicant shall prepare a mitigation plan containing provisions
requiring the transplantation and/or seeding of Plummer's mariposa lily
plants to an off-site protected area suitable for supporting Plummer's .
mariposa lily. The number of transplants/seeding shall be equal or

maybe over 10-feet high and as high as 21-feet.
3. An updated Water Quality Management Plan mus be submitted for review.
4. Pad elevations should be adjusted in elevation to illow for the 2% swale requirement in
the current adopted California Building Code.
5. A discussion was held regarding the connection o the project to a public sewer in-lieu of
private sewage disposal (septic) systems on each lot due to an existing sewer within
200-feet of the project site on East Avenue. Staff c letermined that the existing sewer is
on the high side of the project and the nearest sev ter connection was over 200-feet away
from the east side of the project. Therefore, const uction of a public sewer system is not
feasible at this time. As a sewer system may be available in the future when the private
sewage disposal systems fail due to time and use a condition of approval is made in

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 Report will not
be required. The factual and analytic 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
