A. Recitals. 1. Storm Western Development, Inc. filed an application for the approval of Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-00113 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tree Removal Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 12th day of August 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 herebyfound,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 August 12, 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 south side of Carnesi Drive and east of Etiwanda Avenue in the Very Low (VL) Zoning District; and b. To the north are single-family residences within the Very Low(VL)zoning district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; to the south is an existing church within the Very Low(VL)zoning district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; to the west is an existing church and single-family residences within the Very Low (VL) zoning district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and to the east are single-family residences within the Low (L) zoning district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and. C. The General Plan land use designation and the Etiwanda Specific Plan zoning designation for the project site is Very Low(VL) residential of the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and d. Storm Western Development, Inc. submitted an application for the subdivision of 8.32 acres of land into 17 lots. Sixteen lots for residential purposes, with Lot#17 as the new boundaries for Cross and Crown Lutheran church, which is located on a portion of the project site; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-64 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2014-00113 STORM WESTERN DEVELOPMENT, INC. AUGUST 12, 2b15 Page 2 e. Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, which is located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Carnesi Drive, is selling a portion of their property to the applicant, which was originally master-planned for expansion of the church's educational program; and f. The project site is vacant with the exception of Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, a perimeter wall along the south side of Carnesi Drive and 50 onsite trees; and g. The application is for a Tree Removal Permit to remove up to 50 on site trees. The project is related to a proposed 17 lot Tentative Tract Map, a General Plan Amendment, an Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment and Variance for an increase in wall height. House product for the lots is not a part of the project scope and will be submitted at a later date; and h. The project site contains 50 heritage trees. The Development Code defines heritage trees as all eucalyptus windrows, any tree in excess of thirty feet in height and having a single trunk with a diameter of 20 inches or more or having a multi-trunk with a diameter of 30 inches or more. An Arborist Report was prepared by Jim Borer (December 5, 2014) for the project that recommends removal of 41 of the on-site trees and the -relocation of the 9 remaining on site trees. The trees observed on the project site were 33 blue gum eucalyptus trees, 11 California fan palms, 2 Brazilian peppers trees 1 elderberry tree, 1 American sweet gum tree, 1 Catalina cherry tree and 1 European olive tree; and i. The 33 eucalyptus trees have been repeatedly topped leading to a poor structural integrity and are recommend for removal. Two of the 11 California fan palms have physical defects which make them poor candidates for preservations. The remaining 9 California fan palms are in good condition and are given a fifty percent chance for surviving transplantation. A mitigation measure is included in the Initial Study Part II which requires that the 9 California fan palms be preserved on site. The 6 remaining trees have poor form and character and are recommended for removal. The project site is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area which requires that eucalyptus trees that are part of a windrow be replaced with 5-gallon sized trees planted 8 feet on center. The project will be required to plant eucalyptus trees at the required spacing along the rear property line of all 16 residential lots. The impact from the removal of the trees will be further mitigated by the Development Code requirement that new residential projects plant a minimum of two trees in the front yard area of each lot. 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 removal of the trees is necessary due to the condition of the trees related to disease, danger of collapse, proximity to an existing structure, or interference with utility services. The Arborist Report prepared for the project by Jim Borer (December 5, 2014) concluded that 41 of the onsite trees are in poor condition and should be removed. The remaining 9 healthy trees are given a 50 percent chance of surviving being transplanted onsite. b. The removal of the trees is necessary in order to construct improvements which will allow economic enjoyment of the property. The project related to the Tree Removal Permit is for the subdivision of project site into 17 lots(16 lots for residential purposes). The exact plotting of the future homes on the lots is not available at this time. The majority of the trees are located along the property line of the project site and will conflict with the construction of onsite improvements including the proposed property line retaining walls and the public street. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-64 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2014-00113 STORM WESTERN DEVELOPMENT, INC. AUGUST 12, 2015 . Page 3 C. The removal of the trees will not negatively impact the neighborhood, the established character of the area and property values. There are a large number of mature trees in the surrounding area. The removal of the onsite trees will have a minimal impact on the surrounding area as the 41 trees slated for removal will be mitigated by the number of trees that will be planted as part of the project. The project site is within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area which requires that eucalyptus trees that are part of a windrow be replaced with 5-gallon sized trees planted 8 feet on center.The project will be required to plant eucalyptus trees at the required spacing along the rear property line of all 16 residential lots. The impact from the removal of the trees will be further mitigated by the Development Code requirement that new residential projects plant a minimum of two trees in the front yard area of each lot. d. The removal of the trees is necessary to construct required improvements within the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way. A yet to be determined number of the existing street trees will need to be removed along Carnesi Drive to construct a new public street and sidewalk. The existing trees will either be relocated within the public right-of-way or be replaced with large specimen trees. e. The trees cannot be preserved through pruning and proper maintenance or relocation. Forty-one of the trees slated for removal have been determined by the arborist report prepared by Jim Borer (December 5, 2014) to be in poor condition. The 9 healthy trees are required to be preserved onsite. f. The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource in the city. All but 9 of the trees are in poor condition. The healthy trees will be preserved onsite and the remainder will be replaced as part of the project. g. Removal of the trees in not restricted by a Specific Plan, Community Plan, condition of approval, or designation as a Historic Landmark. The Etiwanda Specific Plans requires that eucalyptus trees that are part of a windrow be replaced with 5-gallon sized trees planted 8 feet on center. A mitigation measure is included in the related Mitigation Monitoring Plan and as a condition of approval in this resolution that requires that the subject eucalyptus windrow be replaced in the quantity and spacing required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan. h. Every effort has been made to incorporate the trees into the design of the project and the only appropriate alternative is the removal of the trees. The 9 healthy trees are conditioned to be retained on site. i. The removal of the trees will not have a negative impact on the health, safety, or viability of surrounding trees, nor will it negatively impact the aesthetics or general welfare of the surrounding area. The project site is in an area with a large number of mature trees. The impact on the surrounding trees will be minimal with the required planting of a replacement eucalyptus windrow and the preservation of the 9 healthy onsite trees. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included forthe 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 recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-64 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2014-00113 STORM WESTERN DEVELOPMENT, INC. AUGUST 12, 2015 Page 4 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 Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested General Plan Amendment. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation 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.
