Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 28th day of October 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

referenced public hearing on October 28, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 4.36-acre site, located at the southwest corner of
Altura Drive and Tejas Court, which is located generally in the area north of Wilson Avenue
between Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue; and
b. The property is located within the Low (L) Residential District of the Etiwanda
North Specific Plan (ENSP) and is surrounded to the north, south, east, and west by existing
quarter-acre single-family development that is also within the Low (L) Residential District of the
ENSP; and
C. The project site is triangular in shape with a dimension of approximately 661 feet
along the southerly property line, approximately 614 feet along the westerly property line, and
approximately 430 feet along the easterly property line; and

Sevaine Basin, and the connection of storm drain infrastructure leading to the basin render the
basin unnecessary for storm water proposes; and
e. The project site is located within the Low (L) Residential District of the Etiwanda
North Specific Plan (ENSP), which permits a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre, with an
average lot size of 10,000 square feet, and a minimum net lot size of 7,200 square feet. Lots
within the proposed subdivision range in size from 9,520 square feet to 25,278 square feet, with
an average lot size of 12,439 square feet and a project density of 3.18 dwelling units per acre.
The project complies with all applicable development standards of the ENSP and the Rancho
Cucamonga Development Code (RCDC); and
f. Two neighborhood meetings were conducted to gather input and comments from
the owners of the surrounding properties within 660 feet of the site. The first meeting was held
on Thursday, August 27, 2015 and the second meeting was held on Thursday, October 1, 2015;
both meetings were held at the Lion's East Community Center; and
g. The Design Review Committee reviewed the project on August 4, 2015 and
recommended approval of the proposed subdivision to the Planning Commission; and
h. This application was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners
within a 660-foot radius of the project site.
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 tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and
any applicable specific plans. The project will to subdivide the site into 12 parcels, in accordance
with the Low(L) Residential District of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan and the Very Low General
Plan land use designation; and
b. The design of the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The project site is located within the Low
(L) Residential District of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, which permits a maximum of 4
dwelling units per acre, with an average lot size of 10,000 square feet, and a minimum net lot size
of 7,200 square feet. Lots within the proposed subdivision range in size from 9,520 square feet
to 25,278 square feet, with an average lot size of 12,439 square feet and a project density of 3.18
dwelling units per acre; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed.
The subdivision will comply with City standards including the minimum lot area and dimensions
requirements. The project density is 3.18 dwelling units per acre, which is within the allowable
maximum of up to 4 dwelling units per acre; and
d. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
proposed project will subdivide the 4.36 acre site into 12 individual parcels.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA,
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-67
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18960 —WILSON ESTATES, LLC

Page 3
Guidelines. The project qualifies under as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) because the project meets all of the requirements
stated in the CEQA Guidelines. The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan and
zoning designation and regulations, which allows for a density of 4 dwelling units per acre. The
proposed development occurs within City limits on a project site of no more than 5 acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses. The site has been utilized as a detention basin and has
no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the project would not
result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The 12
residential lots are below the threshold requiring a traffic study, and there are no noise or water
quality impacts. A Technical Memorandum (Advanced Civic Group, April 29, 2015) determined
that with the implementation of Best Available Control Measures (BACM's) air quality impacts
would not exceed regional significance thresholds. Furthermore, the site can be adequately
served by all required utilities and public services. With implementation of the standard conditions
and all applicable regulatory requirements, there is no substantial evidence that the project may
have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the
Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment,
concurs in the staff's determination of exemption.
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 in
the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 28TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2015.
