DRC2014-00358,A REQUEST FOR UP TO 8-FOOT HIGH WALLS IN THE
PRIVATE AREAS SEPARATING UNITS 11/12 AND UNITS 10/13 AND
BETWEEN THE PROJECT SITE AND MOBILE HOME PARK TO THE
WEST DUE TO A 2-FOOT GRADE DIFFERENCE IN CONJUNCTION
WITH DESIGN REVIEW DRC2013-00583 FOR THE SITE PLAN AND
DESIGN REVIEW OF A 13 UNIT DETACHED CONDOMINIUM PROJECT
ON 2.17 ACRES OF LAND IN THE LOW MEDIUM (LM) RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT(4-8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) FORA SITE LOCATED ON
THE WEST SIDE OF ARCHIBALD AVENUE AND 150 FEET NORTH OF
MONTE VISTA STREET—APN: 202-131-27, 61 AND 62
A. Recitals.
1. Creative Design Associates filed an application for the approval of Minor Exception
DRC2014-00358 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Minor Exception request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 11th day of February 2015 the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a 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 February 11, 2015, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a property located on the west side of Archibald Avenue
and 150 feet north of Monte Vista Street in the Low Medium (LM) Residential District; and
b. The 2.17 acre site is comprised of three parcels and slopes gently to the southeast.
The site contains 45 trees of various species and the remnants of a stone lined drainage channel.
The adjacent mobile home park has an open storm drain which currently surface drains across the
site and enters the public storm drain system at the southern boundary of the site; and
C. To the north and west is a mobile home park within the Low Medium (LM)
Residential District. To the south are single-family residences within the Medium (M) Residential
District; and to the east, across Archibald Avenue, is a multi-family project within the Medium (M)
Residential District; and

d. The project complies with all related development criteria of the Low Medium (M)
Residential District including project density, building design, setbacks, parking, private and common
open space areas, landscape coverage and recreation facilities. The project, though, requires the
approval of two separate Minor Exceptions for wall height. The subject Minor Exception is due to
grade differences between the private yards areas on the project site and a grade difference
between the project site and the neighboring mobile home park. The second Minor exception
(DRC2014'-00941)is to attenuate vehicle noise from Archibald Avenue.
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. The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific
plan or Development Agreement. The proposed increase in wall height due to a grade difference
between adjacent private yard areas and neighboring project sites is consistent with the residential
nature of the Development District in which the site is located. The additional wall height will provide
privacy and security between the adjacent yard areas and neighboring project sites.
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in
the surrounding area. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding land uses in that the
project site is within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District, which permits the development of
single and multi-family residences.Additionally, there is residential development to the north,south
and west of the project site and to the east across Archibald Avenue. Increased wall heights are
common where there is a grade difference between adjacent yard areas and neighboring project
sites.
C. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. There is an approximately 2-foot grade difference between
adjacent private yards area and neighboring project sites. The additional wall height will allow
residents to secure their private yard areas with a minimum 6-foot high wall.
d. The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be
detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious properties or improvements in
the vicinity. It is common practice to approve Minor Exceptions for wall height within the residential
districts when there is a grade difference between adjacent yard areas and project sites. The
additional wall height will only be visible to the residents living directly adjacent to the walls and will
not negatively impact other home owners in the area.
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 on October 10, 2007 in
connection with the City's approval of SUBTT17444. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162,
no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-16
DRC2014-00358
CREATIVE DESIGN ASSOCIATES
FEBRUARY 11, 2015

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 Minor Exception DRC2014-
00358,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. The general layout and number of units have not changed from the
original environmental determination. 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, as the project layout
and design have not changed since the original environmental determination.
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 the current application.
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 attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) Approval is for a Minor Exception for up to 8-foot high walls in the
private areas separating Units 11/12 and Units 10/13 and between the
project site and Mobile Home Park to the west related to the
development of a 13-unit detached condominium project located on the
west side of Archibald Avenue and 150 feet north of Monte Vista Street
-APN: 202-131-27, 61 and 62.
2) Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with any sections
of the Development Code, State Fire Marshal's regulations, Uniform
