e. The proposal is to construct a single-family residence on each lot of an 8-lot
subdivision (Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18826), that was previously approved by the
Planning Commission on June 13, 2012, for a total of eight (8) single-family residences; and
f. The proposed houses will comply with the development standards applicable to this
zoning district as described in Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The architecture of each
house will be consistent with the general design requirements outlined in Section 5.42.600 of the
Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
g. The houses on Lots 1, 5, and 8 will be single-story, while the houses on the

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 construct a single-family residence on each lot of an 8-lot subdivision
(Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18826), that was previously approved by the
Planning Commission on June 13, 2006, for a total of eight (8) single-family residences. The
underlying General Plan designation is Low Medium Residential.
b. The proposed development,together with 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 the properties to the north and west is Low Medium (LM) Residential District.
The zoning of the properties to the east is Medium (M) Residential District. The zoning of the
properties to the south is Office Professional (OP) District. The subject property and all surrounding
properties are within the 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 rear yard setback of Lots 1 and 5
which will be about 18 feet and will not comply with the required rear yard setback of 20 feet as
required per the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant has submitted a Minor Exception request for
consideration by the Planning Commission. The proposed development, otherwise, meets all of the

4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQK)and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City adopted a Negative Declaration in June 2012 in connection with the City's
approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18226. 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. No substantial changes are proposed to the project
that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; no substantial changes have
occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or
more severe environmental impacts; no new important information shows the project will have new
or more severe impacts than previously considered; and no additional mitigation measures are now
feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce
impacts. There have been no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding
the project which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous
Negative Declaration. The previously approved subdivision is for the purpose of residential
development; this project is consistent with that purpose. Staff further finds that the project will not
have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Negative Declaration, and will not
have more severe effects than previously analyzed. Additional mitigation measures that are
required (and listed below) are in response to an Acoustical Analysis that was prepared on
July 25, 2012 by Christopher Jean &Associates to determine the specific mitigations that would be
necessary to reduce the noise impacts on the proposed single-family residences to a level of
less-than-significant.

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.

Page 5
a) Provide curb and gutter, a.c. pavement and 5-foot sidewalk, as
required.
b) Protect existing traffic signing and striping along East Avenue or
repair as required.
c) Protect or relocate existing 9500 Lumens HPSV street light as
required.
2) As part of the design and alignment of the Base Line Road/1-15
Freeway interchange, East Avenue fronting Lot 8 will be widened and
additional street dedication will be required. Amount of said additional
dedication is under review and not yet determined.
3) Figure No. 5-28 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan has two options for the
theme walls on East Avenue. One is a 10-foot wide planting area
between the perimeter wall and a 30-inch river rock planter wall at the
back of the sidewalk. The other is a 5-foot wide planter measured from
the back of the sidewalk. Since the existing wall to the north of Lot 8
has a 10-foot planter with a low rock wall and the future right-of-way
needs for East Avenue are yet to be determined,jogging the perimeter
wall at least 5 feet west of the existing wall to the north is acceptable.
The perimeter wall can be as close as 15 feet from the existing
sidewalk. The toe of the perimeter slope shall be 2 feet behind the
existing sidewalk. A low rock retaining wall can be added when the
City widens East Avenue, if necessary.
a) Tract perimeter wall at top of the LMD slope shall be outside the
landscape easement. The maximum slope within publicly
maintained landscape areas is 3:1. Where slopes occur, a 2-foot
flat area shall be provided behind the sidewalk. Slopes higher
than 6 feet shall have a 2-foot wide flat shelf at the top, along the
base of the perimeter wall. Slope widths should be minimized
through the use of retaining beneath perimeter walls and portions
of the river rock planter wall may be used for retaining, if needed.
b) If the amount of additional dedication needed for East Avenue is
not yet available by the conclusion of plan check for Tract Map
18826, the area outside the tract perimeter wall shall be
dedicated to the City as a lettered lot. The City Engineer has the
option of collecting a contribution in lieu of construction for all or
part of the LMD improvements. Said contribution shall be paid to
the City prior to the issuance of Building Permits or final map
approval, whichever occurs first.
c) Landscape Maintenance District plans shall be similarto the west
side of East Avenue north of Chateau Drive (Lot 3 of Tract
15912).

landscape and irrigation area. Prior to new construction, a joint
inspection and documentation of the existing condition of the area shall
occur with both the new contractor and the City inspector. The existing
irrigation system shall be relocated as needed and any damaged
landscaping replaced to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. At this
point, the new construction contractor shall be responsible for
maintenance of both the new and existing areas. The developer shall
assume maintenance responsibility forthe altered landscape area for a
minimum of 90 days after reconstruction. A follow-up inspection of
both areas is required prior to the City's acceptance of the new area.
5) Lima Drive frontage improvements to be in accordance with City

annual increase). Area 8 does not pay the Secondary Regional Fee
and the Master Plan Fee has been credited under Tract 15912.
7) Modify Dwg.1715-L for additional LMD improvements at the rear of
Lot 8.
8) Trees are prohibited within 5 feet of the outside diameter of the
proposed 36-inch storm drain on the north side of Lot 8
(Drawing 2312-D), measured from the outer edge of a mature tree
trunk. A copy of the on-site Landscaping Plan, with the storm drain
plotted, shall be provided for the City Engineer to verify this condition is
being met.
9) The project needs to have a disclosure statement attached to the
subdivision map and each individual property lot deed that informs the

Base Line Road interchange. Improvements include, but are not
limited to, the reconstruction of the southbound off ramp, removal and
