architecture.
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 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. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQK) 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 and prior to the approving Development Review
DRC2014-01048, the Planning Commission hereby adopts 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. The Planning Commission therefore
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 decision 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.

Biological Resources
1) Burrowing owl mitigation:
a) Avoidance during the breeding season- Breeding season avoidance
measures, including but not limited to those as follows shall be
implemented. A pre-construction survey for resident burrowing owls
shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 30 days prior to
construction activities. If ground-disturbing activities are delayed or
suspended for more than 30 days after the pre-construction survey,
the site will be resurveyed for owls. Pre-construction survey
methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and Non-
breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report.
Results of the pre-construction survey shall be provided to CDFW
and the City. If the pre-construction survey does not identify
burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation would be
required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site
during the pre-construction survey, measures shall be developed by
the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid impacting
occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall
be based on the most current CDFW protocols and would minimally
include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and
owl monitoring.

b) Burrow exclusion and/or closure during the non-breeding season -
During the non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31),
if burrows occupied by migratory or non-migratory resident burrowing
owls are detected during a pre-construction survey, then burrow
exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those
burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted
by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the
most current CDFW guidelines.
c) Nesting Birds - 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. 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 preconstruction survey would not be
required and construction could commence unimpeded.
2) Migratory Birds Mitigation:
a) A preconstruction nesting survey shall be conducted three (3) days
prior to the commencement of vegetation removal, soil disturbance,
grading, and/or construction on the project site. 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 California Department of Fish and
Wildlife (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.
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.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-42
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2014-01048 — RGA OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
May 27, 2015
Page 8
• 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 approximately 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-king 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.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation
in the summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository(i.e.,
San Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Transfer collected specimens with a copy to the report to the San
Bernardino County Museum.

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.: Development Review DRC2014-01048
Public Review Period Closes: May 27, 2015
Project Name: Project Applicant: RGA Office of Architectural Design
Chris Savage
Project Location (also see attached map): Located within the General Industrial (GI) District on
the east side of the future alignment o
f Utica Avenue between 6th Street and 7th Street-APN: 0209-411-36.
Project Description: A proposal to construct an industrial building of about 161,000 square feet on
a parcel of about 322,000 square feet (7.4 acres).
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
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
(909) 477-2847.
