g. All of the streets and sidewalks within the project will be privately maintained by a
Home Owners Association and will include on-street parking. The project will have 77 guest parking
spaces, which far exceeds the minimum 24 parking spaces required by the Development Code.
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.
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.

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,

archaeological sites within new developments, using their
special qualities as a theme or focal point.

resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological
sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a
park or green space or paying a in-kind mitigation fee.

the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
21) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
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).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.
22) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent
(approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM10
emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted
with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible.
23) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule
established by the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with
vehicle tracking of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon
the time of year of construction.

26) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-
term air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAWMD Rule 403
regarding fugitive dust including treating the site with water or other
soil-stabilizing agent twice daily or replanting disturbed areas as
quickly as possible.
27) The construction contractor shall select construction equipment
based on low-emission factors and high energy efficiency and

dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from
the site when there is rainfall or other runoff.
39) 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

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.

Project Description: Architecture and site review of a 94-unit,small lot multi-family residential

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 analytical 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
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
