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 tract map 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 subdivide a property with an area of approximately 1.89 acre into
8 lots for single-family residential development. The underlying General Plan designation is Low
Medium Residential; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General
Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The tentative tract will comply with the
technical standards described in the Development Code and Etiwanda Specific Plan including
minimum lot area, minimum lotwidth, and minimum lot depth, and all required public improvements
including sidewalks, curbs, and gutters will be constructed; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The tentative
tract is a subdivision of property for residential purposes. The project site is vacant and is
surrounded to the west, east, and south by residential development. No amendments to the
General Plan or Zoning Map are required nor are any variances or exceptions from the development
standards necessary for the project; 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. The property is generally
vacant. Staff reviewed the proposed project and determined that the project, with the exception of
impacts relating to noise and air quality, will have no significant impact on the environment. The
noise and air quality impacts,with mitigation measures incorporated into the project,will be reduced
to a level of less-than-significant; and
e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
tentative tract is a subdivision of property for residential purposes. Adjacent to the south side of the
project site and to the west, on the opposite side of Emmett Way, are single-family residences. To
the north, on the opposite side of Base Line Road, is a largely undeveloped set of parcels; on one of
these parcels is a small single-family residence. To the east, on the opposite side of Shelby Place,
is a condominium complex. The zoning of the property and all the surrounding properties is Low
Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific 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. There are no easements, for any purpose, on or through the project site.
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-08
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18966 — MARC HOMES, LLC

the application,the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence thatthe project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt the
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 staff hereby recommends the Planning
Commission adopt 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. Therefore the Planning Commission
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 determination 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,
California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750.
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.

with South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445, Wood
Burning Devices. Rule 445 was adopted in March 2008 to reduce
emissions of PM2.5 and precludes the installation of indoor or outdoor
wood burning devices (i.e. fireplaces/hearths) in new development on
or after March 9, 2009.
Biological Resources
1) If vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or any other construction
related activity is to occur during the avian nesting season (February 1
through August 31), a preconstruction nesting survey shall be
conducted prior to initiation of construction. If nests are discovered,
they should be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer
setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist and consistent
with CDFW protocols. The temporary "no construction" area would
have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as
determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is
complete and all nestlings have fledged and left the nest, then
construction in the area could resume. If initial ground disturbing
activities or site clearing is proposed to occur outside of the nesting
season (September 1 through January 31), then a pre-construction
survey would not be required and construction could commence
unimpeded.
2) The tree that is removed shall be replaced with a new tree, on a one-
to-one basis, of a minimum 15-gallon size. This tree is in addition to
the trees that are required by the Development Code for new
residential development.

Cultural Resources
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to
monitor construction activities,to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist,
the City of Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from
demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for
the City to establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of
the area.
• Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2
Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project
effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric
resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological
sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a
park or green space or paying an in-kind mitigation fee.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting
the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources
within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report
with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County
Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are
encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a
qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take
appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The
paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide
specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures(i.e..
paleontological monitoring)that may be appropriate. Where mitigation
monitoring is appropriate,the program must include, but not be limited
to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow
the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to
the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.

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 SUBTT18966 and Development Review DRC2013-00645
Public Review Period Closes: January 28, 2015
Project Name: Project Applicant: Marc Homes, LLC
Michael Lutz
Project Location (also see attached map): Located within the Low Medium (LM) Residential
District, Etiwanda Specific Plan, at the south side of Base Line Road between Shelby Place and
Emmett Way at 13025 Base Line Road -APN: 1100-011-02.
Project Description: The proposed project is a subdivision of a property of 1.89 acre into 8 lots
(Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18966) and construction of 8 single-family residences (Development
Review DRC2014-00645). Also included is Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-00581 for the removal
of the trees on the property to allow for the construction of the aforementioned houses.
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 Reportwill not
