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.
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

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration Is being circulated for public review In accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.

Development Design Review DRC2012-00726,Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18856,and Minor Exception
DRC2012-00759
Public Review Period Closes: November 28, 2012
Project Name: Project Applicant: Homecoming V at Terra Vista, LLC
Project Location (also see attached map): Located on the south side of Church Street between
Mayten Avenue and Malaga Drive within the Medium High Development District (14-24 Dwelling
Units Per Acre) of the Terra Vista Community Plan -APN: 0227-151-49 and 50.
Project Description: A request to change the General Plan land use designation from Mixed-Use
to Medium High Residential, subdivide a 19.25-acre site for the consideration of a Site Plan and
architectural review of a 306-unit rental condominium development,and to allow a 2-foot increase in
wall height for purposes of reducing on-site noise. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of the environmental impacts for consideration.
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
(909)477-2847.
NOTICE
The public is Invited to comment on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
review period. 'p_-
