above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. That the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and
any applicable specific plans as it meets the 25,000 square foot minimum average requirement for
lot size in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan with the average lot being 25,722 square feet. Further,
the project incorporates themed architectural walls that are required in the same specific plan; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General
Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans as the application incorporates
equestrian trails and landscape improvements around the project site to meet the City requirements;
and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed as it provides
access for ingress and egress into the site and the lot dimensions and sizes are consistent with the
Etiwanda North Specific Plan; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat as potential environmental
impacts have been analyzed and addressed in the Mitigated Negative declaration prepared for this
document; and
e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems as it is
constant with uses in the area and is consistent with the General Plan; and
f. The design of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired by the
public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessmentfor
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
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,

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.
Project File No.: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18823, Minor Exception ORC2011-00513 and
Variance DRC2012-00135
Public Review Period Closes: January 23, 2013 Project Applicant: Jonathan C. Curtis
Project Location(also see attached map): City of Rancho Cucamonga, located on the west side
of Wardman Bullock Road south and east of Blue Sky Court-APN: 0226-081-15, 16 & 17.
Project Description: A request to subdivide three parcels into 19 single-family residential lots and
two lettered lots on 12.93 acres of land and a request to allow for an 8-foot tall wall on Lot 2 and a
request to reduce the minimum lot depth from 150 feet to 124 feet on proposed Lot 9. The project
site is located in the Very Low Residential (VL) District of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan.
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.
