Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19474, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 26th day of March 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on 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 public hearing on March 26, 2014, including written and oral staff reports,together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located at the southeast corner of
Haven Avenue and 6th Street, with a street frontage on 6th Street of approximately 562 feet and a
lot depth of approximately 267 feet, and is presently vacant land; and

3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing 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 tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development
Code, and all applicable specific plans by meeting all the applicable minimum requirements of each
of the documents; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans as the map complies with
minimum dimensions and sizes of the district in which it is located; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed as it is located
in an industrial zoned district; 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 the site is vacant of any
vegetation and within an improved industrial area; and
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems as it
involves the division of one parcel into two at the intersection of two improved public streets; 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 application, together with all
written 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, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in October 22, 2008, in
connection with the City's approval of the Design Review of a 122-room hotel. 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 unless: (i) substantial
changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment;
(ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or(iii)new important information
shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv)
additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures
can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the subdivision and the design
review of the 126-room hotel, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances
surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than
those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Under CEQA,the subdivision on its
own accord would be categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act(CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines as it is a Minor Land Division (Section 15315)
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 14-13

of less than four parcels. Additionally, the hotel is substantially the same as previously approved.
Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed,
and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the
project to a level of less than significant. The project is substantially the same as the previous
project with the exception that four rooms have been added and a 3,000 square foot office pad has
been added and included in the Addendum analysis. The analysis concludes that the project will not
have a significant increase on traffic or a significant impact on air quality. The updated studies
indicate no new significant effects that were not previously analyzed, and the Addendum to the
original environmental mitigation monitoring program is minor.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM19474 and
adopts an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts that was
adopted by the Planning Commission on October 22, 2008.
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.
