A. Recitals.
1. Barratt Homes has filed an application for the Development Review 98-10 for Tract
No. 13316, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject
Design Review request is referred to as "the application."
2. On June 9, 1999, and continued to July 28, and September 9, 1999, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga held a meeting to consider the application and
concluded said hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting on September 8, 1999, including written and oral staff reports, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located on the east side of Archibald Avenue,
north of Carrari Street with a street frontage of 1,800 feet on Archibald Avenue and 700 feet on
Carrari Street and is presently vacant. The site sits at the base of the foothills and slopes from
the northwest to the southeast at a 10 to 15 percent grade. The elevation difference across the
site is approximately 269 feet. There are two natural streams that cross the site from north to
south. The stream channel has steep slopes varying from 25 to 30 percent. The two streams
carry drainage from the north through the site to the south. This drainage is proposed to be
controlled by constructing a retention basin at the northern end of the site with a storm drain which
outlets south of the site. Vegetation on the site includes three communities, successional sage
scrub, annual grassland/ruderal areas, and Eucalyptus woodland. There is a cluster of three
mature eucalyptus trees and one mature oak tree (on Lot 44); and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant or developed with single
family homes, the property to the south consists of single family homes, the property to the east
is vacant and developed with single family homes, and the property to the west is developed with
single family homes; and

c. The application involves design review of detailed site plan, building elevations,
grading, and landscaping for a recorded tract; and
d. The project will not increase traffic in the vicinity beyond that anticipated by the
General Plan and the streets have been designed to accommodate the traffic demand; and
e. The project is designed to minimize view obstruction to the degree possible; and
f. The project site is potential habitat for threatened or endangered species (i.e.,
California Gnatcatcher and San Bernardino Merriam Kangaroo Rat, respectively) and biological
surveys were conducted by a permitted biologist in accordance with the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service protocols. The protocol surveys concluded that the project site was not suitable
habitat and the species were not found; and
g. The project site is potential habitat for an endangered species, the Quino
Checkerspot Butterfly, and a habitat assessment was conducted and determined that, because
of a lack of host plants and past disturbances from agricultural use, the site does not support
adequate habitat and the species is not present; and
h. The project has a valid Nationwide Permit from the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers
in compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the applicant has obtained Streambed
Alteration Agreement No. 5-070-98 from the California Department of Fish and Game; and
i. The project site contains 5.04 acres of undisturbed Coastal Sage Scrub, the
removal of which will be mitigated both on site and in an off-site mitigation land bank in the Cajon
Wash; and
j. The project site is located within the "Wildland/Urban Interface" zone and San
Bernardino County Fire Safety Overlay District.
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. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan;
and
b. That the proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
c. That the proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code; and
d. That the proposed use, 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.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment
for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 99-88
DR 98-10 BARRATT AMERICAN
September 8, 1999
Page 3
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. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared;
therefore, reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project which are listed
below as conditions of approval.
c. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole,
the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the
proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat
upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the
Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the
presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d)of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
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.
