e. This application is in conjunction with Development Review DRC2012-00968D and
Minor Exception DRC2012-01096; and
f. The proposal is to construct single-family residences on a project site that is
partially within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay. The development is in conjunction with a 43-lot
subdivision (Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446) that was previously approved by the
Planning Commission on December 10, 2008; and
g. Per Section 5.25.303 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, a Conditional Use Permit is
required for all proposed developments within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District; and
h. Specific requirements applicable to development within 200 feet of the centerline of
Etiwanda Avenue include: a minimum street setback of 25 feet(30 feet average)from the property
line along that street, a minimum building separation of 25 feet for structures,front yard landscaping
consistent with Figure 5-26 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and stone curbing along
Etiwanda Avenue. The proposed project will incorporate all of these requirements as described.
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 use 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 single-family residences on a project site that is partially
within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay. The development is in conjunction with a 43-lot subdivision
(Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446) that was previously approved by the Planning
Commission on December 10, 2008. The underlying General Plan designation is Low Medium
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 to the north, south, and east is Low Medium (LM)
Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay), and the property to the west is zoned
Medium (M) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay).
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan except for the height of the proposed
combination walls, along some of the common interior side property lines, that will exceed the
maximum height limit of 6 feet (but not to exceed 8 feet in height) because of grade differences
between the lots. The applicant has submitted a Minor Exception 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. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQK)and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City adopted a Negative Declaration in December 2008 in connection with the City's
approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no
subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-14

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 underwhich 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 included in the Resolution of Approval for Development Review DRC2012-00968D)
are in response to the Noise Analysis that was prepared in November 13, 2012 (and revised in
December 13, 2012) by Urban Crossroads 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.
