UPDATE REGARDING THE CHINATOWN HOUSE LOCATED AT 9591 SAN BERNARDINO ROAD Following an oral report by Jeff Bloom, Deputy City Manager/Economic & Community Development, the Commission was generally agreeable to the request for the 60-day extension provided the building is secured for safety. It was understood that even with the extension, the Building Official could order demolition but Staff will bring another report during this time period with more information as the Commission will have an opportunity to advise the Building Official. It was also understood that the community groups will have many hurdles to cross including a formal proposal, engineered plans and their own funding. The Commission suggested these groups form a committee to work with the property owner(CVWD) towards a plan they can agree upon. Eugene Moy said he has much experience and is familiar with the preservation process and its challenges. He said the observations made by CVWD's engineer were cursory and an engineer focused on retaining the structure could arrive at suggestions other than demolition. VI.

Jeff Bloom. Deputy City Manager/Economic&Community Development, said the upcoming League conference is more about process. Staff could use the Commission's help on the Commission's direction as to where to put the emphasis and on what is important with respect to design.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the finding, through minute action,that this quitclaim is in conformance with the General Plan. This finding will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.

The report and workshop is exempt from CEQA review under State CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) because the report is for informational purposes and will not result in an intensification of environmental impacts. BACKGROUND: Recently, the Planning Commissioners expressed a desire for supplemental training with respect to architecture, the City's design goals, and policies. Additionally, staff and the Design Review Committee members suggested additional topics for discussion such as the articulation of side and rear wall and roof planes as well as carrying the materials to all elevations. The Commissioners asked to discuss marketplace trends and the return on investment for added articulation and embellished elevations that may not be visible from the public right-of-way. ISSUE: Planning staff is requesting policy direction regarding whether the Commissioners believe that these • requirements are relevant and whether the Planning staff should continue to pursue the 360-degree architecture, side and rear articulation, and carrying of the materials to all elevations. Several of the Planning Commissioners have relayed to staff that they would like to have a workshop to discuss these design issues. WORKSHOP OUTLINE: The workshop will take place on April 10, 2013, and will cover design issues related to single-family and multi-family development. A second meeting will be scheduled in the future covering commercial and industrial design. The April 10, 2013, workshop will focus on presenting photographs that represent a variety of residential projects that highlight the design issues to be covered and providing a forum for the Commissioners to discuss whether each fulfills the standards and guidelines outlined in the Development Code. The goal of the workshop is to develop a consensus among the Commissioners in order to provide Planning staff and the Design Review Committee direction as they work with the applicants on residential projects in the future. The design issues covered will include: D side and rear wall plane articulation ➢ side and rear roof plane articulation ➢ carrying materials to all elevations (i.e. stone veneer and wood siding) garage and secondary door design Respectfully submitted, Candyce rnett Planning Manager • CB:TV/ge Item B , I:Rcuo 6"ONCA L IFORNIA Staff Working Group : S March 13 , 2013 few Y�> Purpose , I;tRAIINCHO AONGA CALIFORNIA Feedback from the business community — Too few signs allowed — Signs not visible from the street • Sign too small • Building set back too far from the street — Restrictive Colors and Fonts — Landscaping is blocking signs Goals RANCHO 6"ONCA ,IFORNU • Determine if our signage requirements are overly restrictive .- • Analyze if/where changes should be considered . • Balance the needs of the business community while maintaining a positive visual aesthetic.

Site Characteristics: The project site consists of a rectangular-shaped parcel totaling 3.6 acres of land in the Low Residential District within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the parcel into 12 single-family residential lots. The site is vacant with no structures and native vegetation and weeds covering the majority of the site. The proposed subdivision is located on the west side of Day Creek Boulevard, south of Vintage Drive. Surrounding the project are single-family residential units. The site generally slopes from north to south. ANALYSIS: A. General: The proposed subdivision consists of 12 numbered lots to be utilized for future housing product as the applicant is not proposing housing product at this time. The lots in the tract will average approximately 10,135 square feet. The lot sizes range from 5,054 square feet to approximately 13,193 square feet. The lots meet the required average width of 65 feet and minimum depth 100 feet. Access into the housing tract will be accomplished at two points: One point will be off Saddle Tree Place and the other will be of Driftwood Place, which was master-planned when Tract 18032 was approved in April of 2008. The landscape along Day Creek Boulevard will match the themed landscape that is on the east side of the street except it will not have certain trees (palms) that are no longer allowed in the new High Fire Zone permitted landscape palette as this project is within the High Fire Zone. The site will include Day Creek themed neighborhood community walls and a monument sign that matches the other three corners at the • intersection of Day Creek Boulevard and Vintage Drive. The wall has river rock battered pilasters with a concrete cap and slump stone block painted white. This is consistent with the walls along Day Creek Boulevard. The governing land use document for the project is the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, Day Creek Neighborhood. Land planning for a single-family subdivision must effectively balance the adopted Development Standards while concurrently respecting the Design Guidelines and Design Policies. In order to accomplish this, the existing built environment from the previously approved subdivisions must be taken into account. As noted, the site falls within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, just outside the boundaries of the Rancho Etiwanda planned development, a 1,238 residential unit development approved by the County in May 1991 and subsequently annexed into the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The streets surrounding the project site were installed when the Rancho Etiwanda area was mass graded, infrastructure was installed, and adjacent subdivisions were built. The proposed subdivision (Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709) is bordered to the west by Tract 14522 and to the north, across Vintage Drive, by Tract 14493-1. Both of these subdivisions received tentative map approvals by the County of San Bernardino and after the Rancho Etiwanda area was annexed into the City and a Development Agreement was executed. Both maps received final approval from the City of Rancho Cucamonga and were recorded in 2002. Because the project site is surrounded by developments that were not processed under the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Development Review process, the City has been processing subsequent projects in the Day Creek Neighborhood per the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, the Development Code and the City's General Plan, balancing • D & E- 2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18709 & DRC2010-00065 — JOHN KAVAK • March 13, 2013 Page 3 the objectives of these documents while being guided by existing infrastructure (circulation, drainage facilities). There will be no driveways permitted along Saddle Tree Place or along Vintage Drive. A minimum 5-foot wide setback for landscape planters is to be provided where side yards and rear yards abut a street. B. Design Review Committee: Design Review Committee (Fletcher, Oaxaca, Granger) reviewed the project on August 14, 2012 and recommended approval to the Planning Commission with the recommendation that they work with the owners of the property to the south for an access agreement. C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on August 14, 2012 and recommended approval to the Planning Commission. D. Minor Exception DRC2010-00065: The applicant submitted a Minor Exception request as part of their application to subdivide the project site because a specific development standard is not being met. Within the residential district requirements of the Development Code, residential development standards require decorative masonry block walls be a maximum of 6 feet in height. The applicant is requesting to exceed the maximum requirement on Lots 1-4. Facts for Findings: The purpose of a Minor exception is to allow creative design solutions and • to accommodate unique site conditions. The Development Code allows for a Minor Exception procedure for the consideration of increasing the maximum wall height by 2 feet, pursuant to Section 17.16.110-1. This application contemplates a maximum wall height of 7 feet 6 inches for Lots 1-4 along the south property line of the project. This will allow a 6-foot tall garden wall with a maximum height of a retaining wall to be 1 foot 6 inches along that south boundary of the project. In order to grant a request for a Minor Exception, a series of findings must be made. Generally, these findings focus on unique or special circumstances applicable to a specific property. The following are facts to support the necessary findings: 1. Finding: That the proposed development is of sufficient size and is designed to provide a desirable environment within its own boundaries. Facts: Increasing the wall height by 1 foot 6 inches (calculated height of 9 inches) will maintain privacy along the southern lot lines. 2. Finding: That the proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area. Facts: The applicant is proposing a residential development as part of this application and there are residential developments surrounding the project. This application will allow for the privacy and protection of the future residents. 3. Finding: Any exceptions to or deviation from the density, requirements, or design • standards result in the creation of project amenities that would not be available through strict adherence to Code provisions (e.g., additional open D & E- 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18709 & DRC2010-00065 — JOHN KAVAK March 13, 2013 Page 4 • space, protection of natural resources, improved pedestrian connectivity, public plazas). Facts: The Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege or amenity not available to other properties classified in the same district, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow a 6-foot tall privacy wall for Lots 1-4, with the addition of the retaining wall. These are amenities other parcels in the area also enjoy. 4. Finding: That the granting of the Minor exception will not adversely affect the interest of the public or the interest of the residents and property owners in the vicinity of the premises in question. Facts: The increased heights will be located along the tract boundary and will be architecturally compatible with the existing walls in the area. 5. Finding: The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan and the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. Facts: The granting of the Minor Exception helps encourage new development by allowing the applicant to provide privacy to the specified lots that is enjoyed by the other lots in the area. • 6. Findings: The Minor Exception is the minimum required in that it allows the specified improvement to occur, but does not provide additional development rights. Facts: The granting of the Minor Exception does not provide a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district as all properties shall be allowed to have the same level of privacy as other residential lots in the area. E. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQK) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 related to (Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources Geology & Soils, Green House Gas Emissions, Hydrology & Water Quality, Noise, Mandatory Findings of Significance), 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. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project. • D & E- 4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18709 & DRC2010-00065 — JOHN KAVAK March 13, 2013 • Page 5 CORRESPONDENCE: This item 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.

C) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Comments: a) There are significant vistas within of the local mountains within and from the adjacent area surrounding the project site. The project site commands views of the "local foothills, located approximately 3.5 miles north of the project site. Although the site is within a view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6, the project will not inhibit scenic views from Day Creek Boulevard to the local foothills because of generous setbacks and landscaped slopes along Day Creek Boulevard. Further, to the south is the 1-210 • Freeway, and the proposed project is of similar density as the surrounding area. The impact is considered less-than-significant. b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. C) The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project because the small 3.6 acre vacant infill parcel is surrounded by single-family development with lots of similar size, shape and density. Design review is required prior to approval and is consistent with the Development Code and Design Guidelines. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution. d) The project would increase the number of streetlights.and security lighting used in the immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on site plans which require review for consistency with City standards that require shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant. is Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 23 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 5 • Less Than Significant Less Potamlally wan manIssues and Supporting Information Sources: Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 2.

Comments: a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located south of Vintage Drive between Day Creek Boulevard and Saddle Tree Place and is characterized by single-family development to the north and east, with single-family development across Day Creek Boulevard and a 23 lot single-family subdivision under construction to the south with the 1-210 Freeway just beyond that tract. There are approximately 209 acres of Farmland of Local Importance, Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga according to the General Plan and the California Department of Conservation Farmland Map 2010. Concentrations of Important Farmland are sparsely located in the southern and eastern parts of the City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Farmland in the southern portion of the City is characterized by industrial, residential, and commercial land uses and Farmland in the eastern portion of the City is within the Etiwanda area and planned for development. Further, a large number of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan FPEIR identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City. • c) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that is zoned as forest land or timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the conversion of forest land to Rev 10-9-12 D & E-24 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 6 Less Than • Signifmant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than PP 9 SigNfmant Latigatian Significant No Im = nwrpmted Impact Impact non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. No mitigation is required. d) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land or timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related of the loss or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. e) The site is located south of Vintage Drive between Day Creek Boulevard and Saddle Tree Place and is characterized by single-family development to the north and east, with single-family development across Day Creek Boulevard and a 23 lot single- family subdivision under construction to the south with the 1-210 Freeway just beyond that tract. The nearest agricultural use is more than 1 mile north of the project site. Furthermore, there are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land. Therefore, there is no potential for conversion of forest land to a non-forest use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. 3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) • substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? G) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) number of people? Comments: a) As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.3), the proposed project would not interfere with the region's ability to comply with Federal and State air quality standards for Criterion 1 Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations (local air quality impacts) or Criterion 2 Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP (consistency with the 2003 AQMP). Therefore the project is consistent with the 2003 AQMP and is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. b) Both the State of California and the Federal Government have established health-based ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants. These pollutants include ozone (03), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM10), fine particulate matter less • than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and particulate matter (PMfo and PM2,5) are considered regional pollutants while the others Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 25 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 7 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Foran iany with Than PP 9 Significant Mitigation Significam No Impact Incpmo,ated Impact Impact have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (1-1,S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a reasonable margin of safety. The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this Include motor vehicles at an intersection, a mall and on highways. SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within a jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from motor vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board(ARB). The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions from the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air pollution problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion (increasing temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the ground. • Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants: ozone (03), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PMto), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide(NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead. Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or "non-attainment" depending on whether the regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Nonattainment areas have additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) responsible for ensuring the Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast Air Basin is in Non-Attainment Status for Ozone, PM10 and PM2.5. Specific criteria for determining whether the potential air quality impacts of a project are significant are set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The criteria include daily emissions thresholds, compliance with State and national air quality standards, and consistency with the current AQMP. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an air impact study was prepared by Government Contracting/Consulting Services November 9, 2012 that utilizes the CaIEEMod Model. CalEEMod version 2011.1.1 methodology and CEQA Air Quality Handbook, April 1993 to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short-term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Green House Gas Emissions. • Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 26 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 8 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than PP 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inco prated Impact lines Short Term (Construction) Impacts Table 4: Maximum Constriction Air Pollution Emissions Emtsstons(pounds perday) PMtg'"'� ,kPMzsp Grading 6.07 45.96 31.13 0.05 8.78 5.79 Building 4.77 32.24 23.55 0.04 2.02 2.03 construction Paving 4.09 24.98 18.05 0.03 2.08 2.08 Coating 3.04 2.58 1.96 0.00 0.22 0.22 Maximum Daily 17.97 105.76 74.69 0.12 13.1 10.12 Emissions Significance 75 100 550 150 150 55 Threshold Significant No No No No No No Impact?

Source of Emissions:Apendix A : CalEEMod Output Equipment Exhausts and Related Construction Activities Construction activities produce combustion emissions from various sources such as site grading, utility engines, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, asphalt paving, and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. Exhaust emissions from construction activities envisioned on site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The use of construction equipment on site would result in localized exhaust emissions. Fugitive Dust Fugitive dust emissions are generally emissions associated with land clearing and exposure of soils to the air and wind, and cut-and-fill grading operations. Dust generated during construction varies substantially on a project-by project basis, depending on the level of activity, the specific operations and weather conditions at the time of construction. Construction emissions can vary greatly depending on the level of activity, the specific operations taking place, the equipment being operated, local soils, weather conditions and other factors. The proposed project will be required to comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 to control fugitive dust. • Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 27 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 9 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With man PP 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No impact Inco orated RIDact Impact Architectural Coatings Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCS and are part of the 03 precursors. There will be residential buildings proposed for the project at a later date. Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed buildings will result in approximately 3.04 lbs of VOC per day during the coating phase. The emissions would occur after grading activities, near the end of the construction period. Therefore, this VOC emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 lbs/day. Emissions associated with architectural coatings could be reduced by using pre- coated/natural-colored building materials, using water-based or low-VOC coating, and using coating transfer or spray equipment with high transfer efficiency. For example, a high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) spray method is a coating application system operated at air pressure between 0.1 and 10 pounds per square inch gauge (psig), with 65 percent transfer efficiency. Manual applications such as paintbrush, and roller trowel, spatula, dauber, rag, or sponge have 100 percent transfer efficiency. Odors Heavy-duty equipment in the project area during construction would emit odors. However, • the construction activity would cease to occur after individual construction is completed. No other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project, and no mitigation measures are required. In compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 the proposed uses are not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. Therefore, objectionable odors posing a health risk to potential on-site and existing off-site uses would not occur as a result of the proposed project. Naturally Occurring Asbestos The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County, and it is not among the counties that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition, there has been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the potential risk for naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less than significant. 2010 General Plan FPEIR Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation Measures (short term) Short Term (Construction) Emissions - Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their • tasks are complete. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD) on a project- specific basis and in conformance with the General Plan FPEIR. Therefore, the following Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 28 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 10 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With an PP 9 Significant Mitigation Sign, nl No Impact Inco led tm act Impact mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) During project construction, construction equipment shall be properly maintained at an offsite location; maintenance shall include proper tuning and timing of engines so as to reduce operational emissions.

The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model (URBEMIS7G) estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR), Nitrogen Dioxide (NOA Ozone (03), and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) would • exceed SCAQMD thresholds for significance; therefore, they would all be cumulatively considerable if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant.

Long-term air pollutant emission impacts are those associated with stationary sources and mobile sources involving any project-related changes. The proposed project would result in a net increase in the number of residents in the project area; therefore, the proposed project would result in nt:t increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The stationary source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for on- site buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. Based on trip generation factors included in the Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Analysis prepared by Government Contracting/ Consulting Services November 9, 2012, long-term operation emissions associated with the proposed project, calculated with the California Emissions Estimator Model Version 2011. 1. 1 (CalEEMod)shows that the increase of all criteria pollutants as a result of the proposed project would be less than the corresponding SCAQMD daily emission thresholds. Therefore, project-related long-term air quality impacts would not be significant. Mitigation measures would not be required. 2010 General Plan FPEIR Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation Measures (long term) Long Term (Operational) Emissions - The General Plan Final Program Environmental • Impact Report(FPEIR)analyzed the impacts of Air Quality based on the future build out of the City. In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan FPEIR; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 1) Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water consumption and to provide passive solar benefits. 2) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure. 3) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters. 4) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate thermal pane windows and weather-stripping. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the General Plan FPEIR(Section 4.3). C) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 4.3), continued development would contribute • to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as Rev 10-9-12 D & E-31 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 13 • Less Than Significant less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than PP 9 Significant Mitigaion Significant No Im act Incor oratetl Impact Im act a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within 1/4 mile of a sensitive receptor. Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under b) above and the following mitigation measure will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels. 5) All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply 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. e) Construction Odors (Short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and would dissipate rapidly. Operation Odors (Long-term) are typically associated with the type of use. Odors from residential uses would be like cooking and gardening. Similarly common odors associated with mixed-use and commercial land uses would be expected (i.e. restaurants). Local odors from the majority of land uses would be similar to other urban areas and would not be considered significant. Industrial uses could create objectionable odors and therefore are located away from residential uses and sensitive receptors. Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? • Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 32 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 14 Less Than • Significant less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Fotentiany wun man Significant Mitigation Significant No Impad Inwrporatedi Impact Impact C) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Comments: a) The project site is located in an area developed with residential uses. The site has been • previously disrupted during construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources; According to General Plan Figure RC-4 the project site is located in an area that has been identified as potential Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub Habitat, which has been known to support several sensitive species including, but not limited to, the California Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat. Although the site is within an identified bio area per the General Plan the project site is fragmented from much larger parcels of land to the north (outside the city limits) that have been specifically identified as prime Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat and set aside for open space and conservation purposes. The project site is small (3.6-acres) and is surrounded by either single-family dwelling units, or local roads. The project site is not subject to active flooding, which is necessary for Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub to maintain itself. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of its fragmentation and lack of connectivity to other prime parcels that have been set aside for conservation purposes. Therefore due to the lack of connectivity, water source, and being disturbed for development of roads and improvements, the site is not considered prime habitat for conservation. The impact is less-than-significant. b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists on-site, meaning the project will not have any impacts. C) No wetland habitat is present on-site. As a result, project implementation would have no impact on these resources. d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous • natural open space areas. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south trending Rev 10-9-12 D & E-33 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 15 • Lass Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Ptitentiaiiy with Than PP 9 significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inco orated Impact Im act tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence. Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There are no heritage trees on the project site; therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with any local ordinance. f) Neither the City nor the SOI are within an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved State Habitat Conservation Fran area. The project site is not located within a local conservation area according to the Gel, ral Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Figure RC-1. No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) significance of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5? b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) significance of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? C) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) • resource or site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred O O O (✓) outside of formal cemeteries? Comments: a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). There will be no impact. b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 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.

Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. • 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 a in-kind mitigation fee. C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on • an alluvial fan. According to the research performed at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the Sphere-of- Influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last 'Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per the Public Safety Element of the General Plan; therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 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 Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 35 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 17 • Less Tha Significannt Leas Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than PP 'Significant corpon tlSignificant10 Imoad Incorporated orated Im act Impa.a ct 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 summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The project site has already been disrupted by construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments. No known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are discovered on-site. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: • a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault?

Comments: a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The project site is located in the Buried/Uncertain segment of the Red Hill Fault, subsurface exploration found no evidence of its existence (General Plan Exhibit PS-2. Because data cannot support the existence and/or location of this segment, designation of this segment will be applied to critical facilities only. The Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 2.5 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing M,y 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to M„,7.5 earthquakes is 7.5 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to M„, 8.2 earthquakes, is 10 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard Conditions will ensure that geologic impacts are less-than-significant. b) The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within a designated Soil Erosion Control Area Exhibit 4.7-4 of the General Plan FPEIR. The proposed project will require the excavation, • stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control; however, development of this project under the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM10 emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible. 2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off- site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PMig emissions from the site during such episodes. 4) Chemical soil-stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM10 emissions. C) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.7) indicates that there is a potential for the hillside areas at the northern end of the City and in the SOI for slope failure, landslides, and/or • erosion. Areas subject to slope instability contain slopes of 30 percent or greater. Landslides may be induced by seismic activity, rain, or construction. The City Hillside Development Regulations prohibits the development within slopes of 30 percent or greater Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 37 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 19 • Less Tha Significannt Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentlaint With Than pp 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact incorporated Impad Impact and limit the number of units that could be constructed within the Hillside Residential and Very Low Density Residential designations in the Hillside areas. The site is not within an Earthquake hazard zone or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-2. Soil types on-site consist of Psamments and Fluvents Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. No adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the project site, is located on alluvial soil deposits. These types of soils are not considered to be expansive. Soil types on-site consist of Psamments and Fluvents Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. These soils typically have low shrink-swell potential. No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. 7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) (✓) ( ) () indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? • b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) Regulations and Significance- The Federal Government began studying the phenomenon of global warming as early as 1979 with the National Climate Protection Act(92 Stat. 601). In June of 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger established California's Green House Gas ("GHG") emissions reduction target in Executive Order (EO) 5-3-05. The EO created goals to reduce GHG emissions for the State of California to 2000 levels by 2010; GHG emissions reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; and GHG emissions reduced to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Additionally, on December 7, 2009 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued findings regarding GHGs under rule 202(a) of the Clean Air Act: (1) that GHGs endanger human health; and (2)that this will be the first steps to regulating GHGs through the Federal Clean Air Act. The USEPA defines six key GHGs (carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CH4], nitrous oxide [N2O], hydroflourocarbons [HFCs], perflourocarbons [PFCs], and sulfur hexafluoride [SFfi]. The combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to GHG pollution. The western States, including Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, already experience hotter, drier climates. California is a substantial contributor of GHGs and is expected to see an increase of three to four degrees Fahrenheit (OF)over the next century. Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead • agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in 1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 38 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 20 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially m Than pp g w,StgnWcant Wgatlon SigNficant No Imoacl Incomorated Insoad Impact strategies for meeting the 2020 deadline. Significant progress can be made toward the 2020 goal through existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. Other solutions would include improving the State's infrastructure, and transitioning to cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. The ARB estimates that 38 percent of the State's GHG emissions in 2004 was from transportation sources followed by electricity generation (both in-State and out-of-State) at 28 percent and industrial at 20 percent. Residential and commercial activities account for 9 percent, agricultural uses at 6 percent, high global warming potential gases at 3 percent, and recycling and waste at 1 percent. It is not anticipated that any single development project would have a substantial effect on global climate change but that GHG emissions from the project would combine with emissions across California, the United States, and the world to cumulatively contribute to global climate change. Therefore, consistent with the ARB's Climate Change Scoping Plan, the proposed project was evaluated for consistency with the Early Action Measures (Scoping Plan is a recommendation until adopted through normal rulemaking). The proposed project is assessed by determining its consistency with the 37 Recommended Actions identified by ARB. In compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 97 and CEQA, the project has been analyzed based on a qualitative analysis (CEQA 15064.4). Additionally, the ARB was directed through SB 375 to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved within the automobile and light truck sectors for 2020 and 2035. • SCAQMD and ARB maintain ambient air quality monitoring stations in the Basin. The stations closest to the project site are the Upland station and the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The Upland station monitors all criteria pollutant except PM10, PM2.5, and SO2 which are monitored at the Fontana-Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM10, and PM2,5 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly. Project Related Sources of GHG's- Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any ambient air quality standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of Planning and Research (OPR) guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead Agency. Project related GHG's would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based on the Air Quality Analysis prepared by Government Contracting/ Consulting Services, November 9, 2012, the project would result in the following emissions of carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CH4], nitrous oxide [N2O], and hydroflourocarbons [HFCs], and would not result in the other GHG's. As seen in the table the proposed project would result in a total of 18.05 MTCO2eq/yr from construction activities and 62.18 MTCO2eq/yr for area sources • and 197.95 MTCO2eq/yr for mobile sources. Total project related direct operation emission would result in 260.13 MTCO2eq/yr.

The GHG emitted by construction equipment is primarily carbon dioxide (CO2). The highest levels of construction related GHG's occur during site preparation including demolition, grading and excavation. Construction related GHG's are also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction workers traveling to the job site. Exhaust emissions from construction activities would vary each day with the changes in construction activity on site. The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates GHG's such as CO2, Cho, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than- significant levels: 1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAWMD Rule 403 regarding fugitive dust including treating the site with water or other soil-stabilizing agent twice • daily or replanting disturbed areas as quickly as possible. 2) The construction contactor shall select construction equipment based on low-emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on Rev 10-9-12 D & E-40 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 22 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than PP 9 Significant Mtigation Significant No Im act Incorporated Im acl Im an the grading plan that ensures all construction equipment will be tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufactures specification. 3) Trucks shall not idle continuously for more than 5 minutes. 4) Alternative fuel powered equipment shall be utilized in lieu of gasoline- or diesel-powered engines where feasible. 5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak-hour traffic. 6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for construction crew. Lona Term (Operational) GHG's Emissions - The primary source of GHG emissions generated by the proposed project would be from motor vehicles, combustion of natural gas for space and water heating, as well as off-site GHG emissions from generation of electricity consumed by the proposed land use development over a long term. CEQA requires the Lead Agency to review the project for "adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure," to determine potential impacts of GHG's. Therefore the project has been analyzed based on methodologies and information available to the City at the time this document was prepared. Estimates are based on past performance and represent a scenario that is a worst case with the understanding that technology changes • may reduce GHG emissions in the future. To date, there is no established quantified GHG emission threshold. The project involves the subdivision of approximately 3.6 acres of vacant land for the future construction of 12 single-family residences and therefore would result in an increase in the net increases of both stationary and mobile source emissions. The majority of energy consumption typically occurs during project operation (more than 80 percent and less than 20 percent during construction activities). The proposed project will incorporate several design features that are consistent with the California Office of the Attorney General's recommended measures to reduce GHG emission including: water efficient landscaping, fiber optic communications infrastructure, and sidewalks. The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the CARIB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. The developer of the proposed project will be required to provide fiber optic communications infrastructure, sidewalks, and water efficient landscaping. Additionally, the City is participating in the development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) with SANBAG for the San Bernardino County area pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 375. The project's long term operation emissions will contribute to area pollutants but will not exceed any of the SCAQMD's thresholds. The proposed project would have less than a significant long term impact with the following mitigation measures: 1) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource • efficient, recycled, and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) materials.

Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. Educated employees about reducing waste and about recycling. 5) To conserve water, the following measures shall be implemented into the site design, to the satisfaction of the City of Rancho Cucamonga: • The project shall comply with City Efficient Landscape Ordinance, regardless of the size of the landscaped area. • Implement water conservation measures to provide at least a 15 percent • reduction in water consumption beyond that required by regulation.

Based on the reduction measures proposed for the project and the Mitigation Measures the project would reduce its GHG emission below the "business as usual" scenario. b) The project proposes the subdivision of approximately 3.6 acres of vacant land into 12 single-family lots. No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update included adopted policies and Standard Conditions that respond to the Attorney General and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). The General Plan • policies and Standard Conditions guide infill and sustainable development reliant on pedestrian connections, re-use and rehabilitation of existing structures, link transportation opportunities, promote development that is sensitive to natural resources and incentivizes denser mixed use projects that maximizes diverse opportunities. The proposed project includes General Plan Policy LU-10.1: "Continue to require implementation of the City's Water Efficient Ordinance" is accomplished by requiring all new developments to submit landscape plans that illustrate that they meet all the requirements of the ordinance. General Plan Policy RC-3.1: "Require the use of cost-effective methods to conserve water in new developments and promote appropriate water conservation and efficiency measures for existing businesses and residences" by promoting water drip irrigation and requiring all construction meet the Building Code Title 24. And General Plan Policy PF- 7.1: "Continue to adopt programs and practices that minimize the amount of materials entering the waste stream. Encourage recycling and composting is all sectors of the community, including recycling of construction and demolition materials, in order to divert items from entering landfills." This is done by requiring builders to submit a deposit to the city which requires the builder to recycle at least 50 percent of the construction materials. The developer of the proposed project will be required to provide fiber optic communications infrastructure, local trail that connect to Community trails, sidewalks, fire defensible space, and water efficient landscaping and, therefore, is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. and therefore is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of GHG's and determined that GHG emissions would be cumulatively considerable, which would be a significant unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly(AB) 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact. • Rev 10-9-12 D & E-43 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 25 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources.

Comments: a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and maintenance activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through construction activities that would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease, and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant • impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are expected.

Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials or volatile fuels will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated. G) There are schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The project site is located within a 1/4 mile of the nearest existing or proposed school. The project will be required to comply with existing State and Federal standards on the use and transport of hazardous materials. Typically, single-family dwelling units do not create objectionable odors, produce or emit hazardous waste, or require routine transport of large quantities of hazardous waste. No adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site. Recent site inspections did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated. e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1 and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. • The project site is located approximately 5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 and 1/2 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated. g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and evacuation routes to existing development. New development will be located on a site that has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Because the project includes at least two points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no adverse impacts are anticipated. h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind-driven fires in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the proposed project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone according to General Plan Figure PS-1. The project is located with the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone according to General Plan Figure PS-1. The City recognizes the risk and has adopted policies and Standard Conditions that limit uses to Very Low density residential development and Hillside residential uses in these areas to limit property exposed to wildland fire hazards. The project shall prepare a Fire Protection Plan to outline appropriate measures to address fire hazards. Therefore, the following wildland fire mitigation measure shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: • 1) The project shall comply with Chapter 7A of the California Building Code (CBC), which includes building standards for the Wildand-Urban Interface Rev 10-9-12 D & E-45 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 27 • Lass Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pptpnuant With Than PP 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Im act Fire Area.

( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD). • The project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The State of California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 46 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 28 ess Than • Significant Less Issues and Su ortm Information Sources: Dolan ally Wllh Than PP g Significant Mlligafion Significantpa ' Im act Incor oratatl Im ad Im act General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES permit. The State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB), through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Santa Ana Region, administers these permits. Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Permit. The General Permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during construction activities, including site clearance and grading: - Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from moving off-site into receiving waters. • Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other waters of the nation. • Perform inspections of all BMPs. Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. • A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare an SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan'(WQMP) for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP, prepared by Richard Cantwell, P.E. dated April 2010, which identifies BMPs to minimize the amount ofP ollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the drainage system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads and other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices such as periodic parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system. The following mitigation measures are required to control additional storm water effluent: Construction Activities: 1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the Building Official for approval, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and • implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to R(--v 10-9-12 D & E-47 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 29 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Than Potentially oMitigation Significant No Im act Inco oratetl Impact Im act control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or oft-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. 3) During construc'.ion, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there is rainfall or other runoff. 4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site. Post- Construction Operational: 1) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by Richard Cantwell, P.E. dated April 2010 to • reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 2) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. b) According to CVWD, approximately 35 percent of the City's water is currently provided from water supplies coming from the underlying Chino and Cucamonga Groundwater Basins. CVWD complies with its prescriptive water rights as managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster and will not deplete the local groundwater resource. The proposed project will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Figure RC-3. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 300 to 470 feet below the ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.9), continued development citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact. CVWD has plans to meet this increased need to the year 2030. No impacts are anticipated. C) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. • All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the project will not Rev 10-9-12 D & E-48 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 30 Leas Than • Significant Leas Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pcnificalnt With Than PP 9 Significant Mitigation SigNo mect iImpa Significant IIncorporated Im acl act result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered significant. d) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on a site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on-or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. e) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on a site; however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project will not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will riot result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm • event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is for new development; therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 1) Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the City Building Official for approval of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), including a project description and identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. 2) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit. g) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected. h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General • Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected.

The system is substantially improved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Figure PS-6. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected. j) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site; therefore impacts from seiche and tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow, impacts to the level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City. 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) • regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The site is located south of Vintage Drive between Day Creek Boulevard and Saddle Tree Place and is characterized by single-family development to the north and east, with single- family development across Day Creek Boulevard and a 23 lot single-family subdivision under construction to the south with the 1-210 Freeway just beyond that tract. This project will be of similar design and size to the single-family developments surrounding the project. The project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is Low Residential. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, SCAG's Compass Blueprint, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. General Plan Policy LU-10.1: "Continue to require implementation of the City's Water Efficient Ordinance" is accomplished by requiring all new developments to submit landscape plans that illustrate that they meet all the requirements of the ordinance. General Plan Policy RC-3.1: "Require the use of cost-effective methods to conserve water in new developments and promote appropriate water conservation and efficiency measures for existing businesses and residences" by promoting water drip irrigation and • requiring all construction meet the Building Code Title 24. And General Plan Policy PF- 7.1: "Continue to adopt programs and practices that minimize the amount of materials entering the waste stream. Encourage recycling and composting is all sectors of the community, including recycling of construction and demolition materials, in order to divert Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 50 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 32 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with man PP 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact incorporated Impact Impact items from entering landfills." This is done by requiring builders to submit a deposit to the city which requires the builder to recycle at least 50 percent of the construction materials. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to (..'reneral Plan Figure RC-4 and Section 4.10 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with. the General Plan Land Use Plan. 11. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Comments: a) The site is not designated as a State Aggregate Resources Area according to the City • General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1; therefore, there is no impact. b) The site is not designated by the General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1, as a valuable mineral resource recovery site; therefore, there is no impact. 12. NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in O (✓) O ( ) excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? C) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? • Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 51 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 33 • Less Than Signik.nt Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than pp 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No Im ad Inca oratetl tmoact Imwct f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Comments: a) The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Figure PS-9 at build-out. The project site is within the noise contours indicated in the General Plan PS-9 and is subject to noise levels of 60 dBA and 65 dBA near the 210 freeway. The project will also be exposed to noise levels of 60dBA or greater along Day Creek Boulevard. Because the project is subject to the noise levels that exceed City's exterior standard of 65 dBA from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 60 dBA standard from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., an Exterior Noise Analysis was prepared by Eilar Associates (EA) Incorporated dated July 16, 2009. The City's Development Code utilizes a dBA scale; the study by Eilar Associates includes the following analysis: All noise level or sound level values presented herein are expressed in terms of decibels, with A-weighting to approximate the hearing sensitivity of humans. • Time-averaged noise levels are expressed by the symbol LEO, for a specified duration. The CNEL is a calculated 24-hour weighted average, where sound levels during evening hours 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. have as added 5 dB weighting and sound levels during nighttime hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. have an added 10 dB weighting. Sound levels expressed in CNEL are always based on A-weighted decibels. These metrics are used to express noise levels for both measurement and municipal regulations, for land use guidelines, and for enforcement of noise ordinances. With the current project design, noise levels at the center of all lots except Lot 12 will exceed the 60 CNEL limit. The exterior noise level can be mitigated to less than 60 CNEL with a sound attenuation barrier 6 feet in height at the top of slope along the northern, southern, and eastern property lines with a return of at least 90 feet in length along the western property line at the southwest corner of the property. This will provide enough attenuation for compliance at all lots according to the Noise Analysis prepared by Eilar Associates dated July 16, 2009. Any necessary mitigation measures to reduce interior noise levels to City Standards will need to be evaluated when house product is submitted. Consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga protocol, the sound study completed by Eilar Associates Incorporated was evaluated by an independent third party, Marlund Hale, P.E., Ph.D of Advanced Engineering Acoustics. The independent third party's evaluation concluded that after they conducted spot calculations using the traffic and site data obtained from the EA report and finds that the calculated 2015 year results without and with sound barrier mitigation presented in the EA report has been done correctly and are technically acceptable and accurate. • The mitigation measures recommended by EA will be adhered to. Mitigation measures listed below would reduce exterior and interior noise levels on the first floor to less-than-significant levels: Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 52 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 34 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentlaliy with Than PP 9 Significant Mitigaton Significant No Ithact Inco orated impact Impact Exterior., 1) A sound attenuation wall 6 feet in height at the top of slope along the northern, southern, and eastern property lines with a return of at least 90 feet in length along the western property line at the southwest corner of the property shall be constructed in accordance with the sound study prepared by Eller Associates dated July 16, 2009. 2) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction-related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. Interior. Specific mitigation measures for interior noise impacts are not possible at this time as the project does not include a house product. Mitigations measures cannot be established without knowing the design of the houses. Therefore: 1) When an application for the development of homes on the project site is submitted, the applicant (current or future) shall submit a noise assessment to determine the required mitigations measures to reduce the noise impacts • to levels of less significance. b) The normal operating uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce ground borne vibrations. Construction related activities such as the use of earthmoving and construction equipment, arrival/departure of contractors' vehicles and material delivery vehicles, and the construction of the building itself may create vibration impacts. However, these impacts will be short term and less than significant when the activities are conducted in compliance with the mitigation measures listed below and the Development Code. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. The proposed activities from the 12 lot subdivision will not significantly increase traffic; hence, are not anticipated to increase the ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project. d) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: 2) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. 3) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at the property line. Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as • specified in Development Code Section 17. 66.050. Monitoring at other times may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 53 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 35 • ess Than SigrJficant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Poten"'Y wth Than PP 9 Significant Mitiga on Significant No Impact Incorppra,e, Impact Impact exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with above noise standards or halted. 4) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first phase. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be required: 5) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. • e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The Project is located approximately 6.5 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated. f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated. 13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? C) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Comments: a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population growth. The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the construction of 12 single family homes. Although the project will increase the population growth in the area there will be a less than significant impact as the project is consistent with the underlying Zoning and General Plan Designation. The density was analyzed as • part of the build out in the General Plan FPEIR. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. No impacts are anticipated.

( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: • a) The site, located south of Vintage Drive between Day Creek Boulevard and Saddle Tree Place, would be served by Fire Station 173 located at Day Creek Boulevard and Fire House Court, approximately 1.25 miles from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project to lessen the future demand and impacts to fire services. No impacts are .anticipated. b) The increase in residential units may lead to an increase in calls for service. Although there may be an increase in calls, additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled. C) The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the project area. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed development. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the school impact fees. With this standard mitigation, impacts to the School Districts are not considered significant. d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is Day Creek Park located approximately .5 miles from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated.

The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.14), there will be a projected increase in library space demand but with the implementation of standard conditions the increase in Library Services would be mitigated to less than significant impact. Additionally, the Paul A. Biane Library has an additional 14,000 square foot shell of vacant library space that is planned for future Library use. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. 15. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) require the construction or expansion of recreational • facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Comments: a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is Day Creek Park located approximately .5 miles from the project site. This project is not proposing any new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of parks or other recreational facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees.

Comments: a) Implementation of the proposed 12 lot single-family subdivision will generate 115 vehicle trips daily. The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each single-family dwelling unit will generate 9.57 trips daily. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16), continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in project design. The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts are anticipated. b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each detached single-family • dwelling unit will generate 1.75 two-way peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 57 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 39 • Less Than Significant Leas caiwith rnanIssues and Supporting Information Sources: Significant Mtiga on significant No Impact Incom.ted Imaact impact regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted transportation development fee prior to issuance of building permit. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects that will ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? • Comments: a) The project site is located in an area developed with residential uses. The site has been previously disrupted during construction of infrastructure and surrounding developments. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources; According to General Plan Figure RC-4 the project site is located in an area that has been identified as potential Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub Habitat, which has been known to support several sensitive species including, but not limited to, the California Gnatcatcher and the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat. The project site is fragmented from much larger parcels of land to the north that have been specifically identified as prime Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat and set aside for open space and conservation purposes. The City, in cooperation with the County of San Bernardino, has set aside approximately 1,900 acres of land for conservation purposes for Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub Habitat. Further, an additional 1,000 acres has been proposed for conservation purposes. Since the project site is small (3.6 acres) and is surrounded by either single-family dwelling units, or local roads, the parcel does not represent prime Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub habitat, and therefore, is not good or necessary area for conservation. Also, the project site is not subject to active flooding, which is necessary for Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub to maintain itself. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of its fragmentation and lack of connectivity to other prime parcels that have been set aside for conservation purposes. The impact is less-than-significant. b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop • the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2010 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental Rev 10-9-12 D & E- 60 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709 Page 42 effects of build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that • adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change and Mineral Resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required. C) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.

Project Description: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18709 - A proposed subdivision of 12 single-family units on 3.6 acres of land in the Low Residential District(2-4 dwelling units per acre). MINOR EXCEPTION-DRC2010-00065-A request to allow fora combination retaining and garden wall of a calculated height of 7 feet 6 inches on Lots 1 through 4 within Tentative Tract 18709 on 3.6 acres of land in the Low Residential District(2-4 dwelling units per acre) 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 Report will 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.

A. Recitals. 1. John Kavak filed an application for the approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 18709, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tentative Tract Map request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 13th day of March 2013, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly 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 March 13, 2013, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to the property located at the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Vintage Drive with a street frontage of approximately 302 feet and lot depth of approximately 531 feet and is presently vacant land; and b. The properties to the north of the subject site across Vintage Drive are existing single-family residences, the properties to the south consist of existing single-family residences,the properties to the east across Day Creek Boulevard are existing single-family residences, and the properties to the west across Saddle Tree Place are existing single-family residences; and C. The proposed use together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and d. All lots of the proposed subdivision meet the 7,200 square foot area minimum;and • e. A Minor Exception is being proposed for the increased height of the walls along Lots 1-4 to provide privacy for these future homeowners; and D & E- 80 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-11 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18709— JOHN KAVAK March 13, 2013 Page 2 • f. A sound study was completed to assess the sound levels due to the proximity of the 1-210 freeway and Day Creek Boulevard. The sound study concludes that with the construction of a 6-foot high barrier wall around the perimeter of the project as mitigation,the exterior noise levels will be in compliance with City Development Code Standards. The sound study also recommends that a detailed interior noise analysis be completed when future house product is submitted for review. 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 is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans as it meets the 7,200 square foot minimum average requirement for lot size in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan with the average lot being 10,084 square feet and it has incorporated the themed architectural walls that are required in the same specific plan; and b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans as the application has incorporated decorative walls and landscape improvements around the project site and have met the size requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located; and C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed as it provides • two points of access for ingress and egress into the site and the lot dimensions and sizes are consistent with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan; 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 as potential environmental impacts have been analyzed and addressed in the Mitigated Negative declaration prepared for this document; and e. The tentative tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems as it is consistent with uses in the area and is consistent with the General 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. 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("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 D & E- 81 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-11 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18709 — JOHN KAVAK March 13, 2013 Page 3 • 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 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. 4.

A. Recitals. 1. John Kavak, filed an application for the approval of Minor Exception DRC2010-00065, 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 13th day of March 2013, 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 March 13, 2013, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to the property located at the southwest corner of Day Creek Boulevard and Vintage Drive with a street frontage of approximately 302 feet and lot depth of approximately 531 feet and is presently vacant land; and b. The properties to the north of the subject site across Vintage Drive are existing single- family residences, the properties to the south consist of existing single-family residences,the properties tothe east across Day Creek Boulevard are existing single-family residences, and the properties to the west across Saddle Tree Place are existing single-family residences; and C. The proposed use together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity as the increase in the height of the rear yard walls by adding up to 1 foot, 6 inches(V-6") of retaining wall on Lots 1-4 for privacy, and • d. The project includes the concurrent submittal of a Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18709. a subdivision of approximately 3.6 acres of land into 12 single-family residential lots; and D & E-116 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-12 MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2010-00065 - JOHN KAVAK • March 13, 2013 Page 2 e. The walls on Lots 1-4 are necessary to ensure an adequate level of privacy and to compensate for the finished grade differences between the applicant's property and the neighboring Tract 18032. 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 proposed development is of sufficient size and is designed to provide a desirable environment within its own boundaries. Increasing the wall height by 1 foot 6 inches (calculated height of 9 inches) will maintain privacy along the southern lot lines. b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area as the applicant is proposing a residential development as part of this application and there are residential developments surrounding the project. This application will allow for the privacy and protection of the future residents. C. Any exceptions to or deviation from the density, requirements, or design standards result in the creation of project amenities that would not be available through strict adherence to Code provisions (e.g., additional open space, protection of natural resources, improved pedestrian connectivity, public plazas). The Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege or • amenity not available to other properties classified in the same district, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The Minor Exception will allow a 6-foot tall privacy wall for Lots 1-4, with the addition of the retaining wall. These are amenities other parcels in the area also enjoy. d. That the granting of the Minor exception will not adversely affect the interest of the public or the interest of the residents and property owners in the vicinity of the premises in question as increased heights will be located along the tract boundary and will be architecturally compatible with the existing walls in the area. e. The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan and the Etiwanda North Specific Plan in that granting of the Minor Exception helps encourage new development by allowing the applicant to provide privacy to the specified lots that is enjoyed by the other property owners in the area. f. The Minor Exception is the minimum required in that it allows the specified improvement to occur, but does not provide additional development rights. The granting of the Minor Exception does not provide a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district as all properties shall be allowed to have the same level of privacy as other residential lots in the area. 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 assessmentfor 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 to Planning Commission Resolution No. 13-11 approving Tentative Tract Map 18709, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: D & E-117 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-12 MINOR EXCEPTION DRC2010-00065 — JOHN KOVAK March 13, 2013 Page 3 • 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 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 City Planner of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Single-Family Residences; Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) South - Single-Family Residences; Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) East - Perdew Elementary School; Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) West - Multi-Family Residences (Apartments); Medium (M) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Medium Residential North - Low Medium Residential South - Low Medium Residential East - Low Medium Residential West - Medium Residential C. Site Characteristics: The project site is a square parcel of approximately 660 feet (north to south) • by 660 feet (east to west) with an area of approximately 417,300 square feet (9.6 acres), located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues (Exhibit B). A tentative tract map, submitted by Albert A. Webb Associates, to subdivide the property into forty-three (43) lots was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on December 10, 2008 (Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18466 - Exhibit N). Aside from the remnant grapevines (site used as a vineyard), the site is undeveloped. Other vegetation on-site includes short grasses and shrubs. To the north and south, are single-family residences; to the east, is Perdew Elementary School; and across the street to the west is an apartment complex. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties to the P P 9 P P Y 9 P P north, south, and east is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay), and the property to the west is zoned Medium (M) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) (Exhibit C). The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of approximately 1,245 feet and 1,233 feet, respectively. An additional characteristic of the site is the presence of the Ontario Freeway (1-15), which is aligned diagonally (southwest to northeast) near the northwest corner of the project site. An overpass for the freeway is at the intersection of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues. ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant proposes to construct a single-family residence on each lot for a total of forty-three (43) single-family residences. The houses on Lots 2, 4, 7, 14, 16, 20, 21, 27, 31, 35, 37, 38, and 43 will be one-story, while the houses on the remainder of the lots will be two-story. This equates to 30 percent of the lots having single-story houses. This mix of one- and two-story homes is consistent with the policy adopted by the Planning Commission requiring that 25 percent • (minimum) of the proposed houses be single-story. The garages of twenty-nine (29) of the houses (67 percent of the total number of proposed houses) will be setback from the front part of the F,G,&H - 2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2012-00968D, DRC2012-00968, AND DRC2012-01096 — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA March 13, 2013 • Page 3 house, i.e., the front of the garages will not dominate the front of the house as seen from the street. This will comply with Section 5.42.606 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which requires that 50 percent of the garages to be oriented or situated in a manner that minimizes its visual presence. All of the houses will have 2-car garages. With the exception of Lot 1, the houses on all corner lots (Lots 20, 21, 31, 37, 38, and 43) will be single-story as required per Section 5.42.608 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The house on Lot 1 will be a two-story model, which is permitted if increased setbacks are provided. The front setback will be 30 feet from the front property line (the minimum is 20 feet), while the street side setback will be approximately 21 feet from the north side property line (the minimum is 15 feet). The architecture of each house will be consistent with the general design requirements outlined in Section 5.42.600 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant proposes five (5) types of architectural themes (elevations) — Santa Barbara, Ranch, Bungalow, Monterey, and Country (Exhibit F). Each house will incorporate a variety of materials to varying degrees. A combination of veneer (brick or stone), wood siding, and stucco finish will be applied to the Ranch, Bungalow, Monterey, and Country themes. Because of the nature of the theme, the Santa Barbara elevations will be exclusively finished with stucco. Roofing for all houses will be either flat or barrel concrete tile, depending on the theme. The applicant proposes three (3) distinct footprints — Plans 1, 2, and 3 — and reverse footprints of each for a total of six (6) footprints (Exhibit F). Plan 1 will be one-story, while the others will be two-story. The number of available footprints will comply with Figure 5-4 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. • As noted previously, the 1-15 Freeway is aligned diagonally across the northwest corner of the site. As the freeway at this location is elevated above grade, the project site will be subject to noise impacts. There are no sound walls at the top of the freeway embankment.or on the overpass to mitigate freeway noise. To ensure that interior and exterior noise levels are within the range of "Normally Acceptable" or "Conditionally Acceptable" levels as described in Figure PS-8 of the General Plan, noise impacts must be mitigated. A noise analysis that was submitted by the applicant identified specific mitigations. To fulfill the exterior noise level requirement, a usable, private open (outdoor) space at the east side yard of each house on Lots 37 through 43 that is 20 feet wide (approximately 10 to 15 feet wider than the typical side yard in the development district of the project site) is proposed. The bulk of the house on each lot, in conjunction with perimeter walls, will buffer its corresponding side yard from noise. To fulfill the interior noise level requirement, additional noise attenuating enhancements (e.g. exterior building walls and windows with a higher noise rating) will be incorporated into the construction of the homes that are impacted by elevated noise levels (Exhibit M). B. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was conducted on December 18, 2012, to gather input and comments from the owners of the surrounding properties within 660 feet of the project site. This meeting was held at Perdew Elementary School. There were three (3) individuals who resided in the neighborhood to the south in attendance. They inquired about the expected construction timeframe of the homes, the design compatibility of homes with the surrounding neighborhood, and the final status of the existing perimeter wall located along the south property line of the project site. The applicant addressed these questions to the satisfaction of the attendees (Exhibit 1). • C. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Review Committee (Addington and Miller) and the Technical Review Committee reviewed the application on January 15, 2013. Most of the grading and technical aspects of the overall project were already analyzed previously during F,G,&H - 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2012-00968D, DRC2012-00968, AND DRC2012-01096 — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA March 13, 2013 Page 4 • the review of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446 by the Grading and Technical Review Committees on August 19, 2008, and subsequently approved. Therefore, during this meeting of the Committees, the discussion was generally limited to the details relating to the construction of the houses, e.g. lot drainage, walls, dust control, etc. The Committees accepted the proposal and recommend approval. Their conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. D. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Fletcher, Oaxaca, and Granger) reviewed the application on January 15, 2013 (Exhibit J). The Committee generally accepted the project as submitted. However, they noted that the City requires "360-degree architecture," i.e. the application of architectural details and decorative features on all elevations of a house, and that this requirement be applied to all residential development. They stated that the rear elevations of the houses were too plain and needed enhancement. The applicant requested that the Committee accept the rear elevation of each house as-is without adding more decorative wainscot veneer (a revision recommended by staff in the Design Review Committee report). The project manager for Lennar stated that the price point of the homes and the location of the project site near the Ontario Freeway (1-15) did not justify the additional veneer. In addition, he indicated that because of the cost of the additional veneer, there would be an impact on the quality/quantity of the features inside the houses. These features, according to the applicant, are of greater value to the homeowner than the veneer on the rear elevation. Furthermore, the veneer on the rear elevations would not be visible. Following additional discussion, the Committee accepted the absence of a decorative veneer provided that, at a minimum, architectural details such as decorative lights, shutters, and pot shelves at the windows, and more wood trim is added to the rear elevation of each house. The • Committee directed the applicant to revise the rear elevations to include these enhancements. Although the revised proposal did not need to be reviewed at a follow-up meeting, the Committee requested that any revisions be submitted to them via e-mail for their review and, if necessary, comment. On January 29, 2013, the applicant submitted the revisions as requested. The Committee accepted the revised elevations; some additional enhancements were requested which have been included as conditions of approval in the Resolution of Approval. E. Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00968: Per Section 5.25.303 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, a Conditional Use Permit is required for all proposed developments within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District. The project site is partially located within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay. Specific requirements applicable to development within 200 feet of the centerline of Etiwanda Avenue include: a minimum street setback of 25 feet (30 feet average) from the property line along that street, a minimum building separation of 25 feet for structures, front yard landscaping consistent with Figure 5-26 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and stone curbing along Etiwanda Avenue. The proposed project will incorporate all of these requirements as described. For example, the houses on Lots 20, 21, 37, and 38 will be between 28 feet (at Lot 20) and 41 feet (at Lot 38) from the property line along Etiwanda Avenue. The houses on these lots will be separated from each other by approximately 40 feet. F. Minor Exception DRC2012-01096: The applicant submitted a Minor Exception to allow the construction of combination walls (garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls) with a height of up to 8 feet along the rear and interior property lines of several lots within the proposed subdivision. Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 feet. The proposed walls will be located generally where there are grade differences (Exhibit L) that warrant retaining walls. The usual alternative, an • earthen slope, is not practical because of the lack of available space (especially in the side yards between the house and the property line wall) or not desirable because of the slope encroaching F,G,&H - 4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2012-00968D, DRC2012-00968, AND DRC2012-01096 — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA March 13, 2013 • Page 6 into the rear yard areas that the applicant prefers to be flat; therefore, more usable. Adjusting the grading within the subdivision so that the finished grade elevations on each lot are level, i.e., equal, with each other is also impractical. Generally the natural terrain of the project site slopes from north to south. Also, because of the need for surface water to drain, i.e., flow, to, and the sewer lines of each lot to connect to the existing sewer line beneath the surface of the street at the front of each lot, the finished pad elevations of each lot must be higher than the finished surface at the street. Having stepped pads allows for the grading to follow the natural slope and/or the storm water and sewer to drain as required. As most of the walls will be along common interior side property lines, the increased height of the walls will not be observable from public view; where the walls are located adjacent to a street (at Lots 42 and 43), the increased height of the wall will be most observable from the interior of the project site. G. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in December 2008 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project. No substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; no new important information shows that the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; and no • additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. There have been no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The previously approved subdivision is for the purpose of residential development; this project is consistent with that purpose. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, and will not have more severe effects than previously analyzed. Additional mitigation measures that are required (and in the Resolution of Approval) are in response to a noise study that was prepared in November 13, 2012 (revised in December 13, 2012) by Urban Crossroads to determine the specific mitigations that would be necessary to reduce the noise impacts on the proposed single-family residences to a level of less-than-significant. CORRESPONDENCE: This item 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. No correspondence has been received.

Towanda. We sent notices to all property owners within 660of the site, inviting them to attend the meeting, while also sharing a brief'description of our proposed community. Of all of the residents and owners who were invited to the meeting, only 2 homeowners attended. The homeowner at 13016 Claret Ct. Iives just south of the school play yard. They did not express any concerns with our community, and said that they were only curious to hear more about the Community. They did share a previous issue that they had with people parking in front of their driveway when dropping their children off at the south gate of the. school. They worked with the principal Kelly Bray and resolved the issue. The son of the homeowner at 13914 Claret Ct was there to express his fathers concern about the shared boundary wall. He lives in the home adjacent to Etiwanda Ave,just south of our community. I spoke to the homeowner by phone during the meeting, and he told me that he was concerned that the footing of the shared wall could be exposed during our construction, or when a homeowner installs a pool. I assured him that the setbacks required by Building & Safety would protect the footing, and he appeared to be satisfied. I gave him my contact information, and encouraged 'nim to call me if he had any more concerns. There were no other concerns or questions at the meeting, and I have not received any calls since the meeting. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Related files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18466, Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-01097, and Minor Exception DRC2012-01096. On December 10, 2008, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission, for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18466. The California Environmental Quality Apt provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or- minor revisions to projects within the scope of a previous Negative Declaration. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2012-01097 - LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA - A request to construct within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District 43 single-family residences between about 2,200 and 3,500 square feet in conjunction with a previously approved 43-lot subdivision of 9.58 acres within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay), located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Miller Avenue; APN: 1100-131-01. Related files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18466, Development Review DR02012-00968, and Minor Exception DRC2012-01096. On December 10, 2008, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18466. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further • environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects within the scope of a previous Negative Declaration. Site Characteristics: The project site is a square parcel of approximately 660 feet (north to south) by 660feet (east to west) with an area of approximately 417,300 square feet (9.6 acres), located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues. The site is vacant and appears to have been a vineyard. Other vegetation on-site includes short grasses and shrubs. To the north and south, are single-family residences; to the east, is Perdew Elementary School; and across the street is an apartment complex. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties to the north, east, and south is Low Medium (LM) Residential District within the Etiwanda Specific Plan in the South Overlay; the property to the west, is zoned Medium (M) Residential District within the Etiwanda Specific Plan in the South Overlay. The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of approximately 1,245 feet and 1,233 feet, respectively. General: The applicant proposes to construct a single-family residence on each lot for a total of forty-three (43) single-family residences. The houses on Lots 2, 4, 7, 14, 16, 20, 21, 27, 31, 35, 37, 38, and 43 will be one-story, while the houses on the remainder of the lots will be two-story. This equates to 30 percent of the lots having one-story houses. This mix of one- and two-story homes is consistent with the policy adopted by the Planning Commission requiring that 25 percent (minimum) of the proposed houses be one-story. The garages of twenty-nine (29) of the houses (67 percent of the total number of pro posed houses) will be setback from the front part of the house, i.e., the front of the garages will not dominate the front of the house as seen from the street. This will comply with Section 5.42.606 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan which requires 50 percent of the garages to be oriented or situated in a manner that minimizes its visual presence). All of the houses will have 2-car garages. With the exception of • Lot 1, the houses on all corner lots (Lots 20, 21, 31, 37, 38, and 43) will be one-story as required per Section 5.42.608 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The house on Lot 1 will be a two-story model, which is EXHIBIT J F,G,&H - 36 DRC ACTION AGENDA • DRC20 12-00968 .AND DRC2012-01097— LENN.AR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA January 15, 2013 Page permitted if increased setbacks are provided — the front setback will be 30 feet from the front property line (the minimum is 20 feet), While the street side setback will be approximately 21 feet from the north side property line (the minimum is 15 feet). Per the Etiwanda Specific Plan, as Lots 20, 21, 37, and 38 are within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay, the houses on these lots will have a building setback from the property line along that street of 30 feet (as opposed to 15 feet). Also, the houses on those lots will have their respective front elevations oriented towards Etiwanda Avenue. To accommodate the increased building setback and orientation, these lots are larger than the other lots with an average area of approximately 14,140 square feet or approximately twice the average area (7,418 square feet) of all the lots. The 1-15 Freeway is aligned diagonally across the northwest corner of the site. The segment of freeway at this location is elevated above grade and overpasses the intersection of the streets that adjoin the project site. There are no sound walls at the top of the freeway embankment or on the overpass to mitigate freeway noise. A private open (outdoor) space that is usable and is not exposed to excessive noise levels is required per the General Plan and Development Code. To fulfill this requirement, a side yard at the east side of each house on Lots 37 through 43 that is 20 feet wide (approximately 10 to 15 feet wider than the typical side yard in the development district of the project site) is proposed. According to a noise analysis submitted by the applicant, the bulk of the house on each lot, in conjunction with perimeter walls, will buffer its corresponding side yard resulting in a noise exposure • within these open spaces to a "Normally Acceptabie" or "Conditionally Acceptable" level. The architecture of each house will be consistent with the general design requirements outlined in Section 5.42.600 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant proposes five (5) types of architectural themes (elevations) — Santa Barbara, Bungalow, Ranch, Country, and Monterey. Each house will incorporate a variety of materials to varying degrees. A combination of veneer (brick or stone), wood siding, and stucco finish will be applied to the Bungalow, Country, and Ranch themes. Because of the nature of the themes, the Santa Barbara elevation will be exclusively finished with stucco, while the Monterey will be finished with a combination of brick veneer and stucco. The roofing for all of the houses will be either flat or barrel concrete tile. Each house will have an articulated footprint/floor plan and profile. The applicant proposes three (3) distinct footprints— Plans 1, 2, and 3— and reverse footprints of each for a total of six (6) footprints. Plan 1 will be one-story, while the others will be two-story. The number of available footprints will comply with Figure 5-45 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Because the footprints and profiles of each house differ, there will be a variety of movement in the wall planes and roof lines. Each house will also have a front entrance comprised of either an enclosed courtyard (Plan 1) or covered porch with an open deck on the second floor (Plan 2), or a combination of both (Plan 3). Depending on the theme, there will also be details such as wood brackets at the roof eaves, decorative trim and shutters around the windows, wrought iron accent features, molding along the top of the stone veneer wainscots, wood shingle siding, and decorative garage doors. Unique to Plan 2 will be a setback of one of the wall planes at the second floor from the wall plane of the first floor directly beneath it of approximately 5 feet. This setback will be continuous along the side elevation where it occurs and will be readily apparent not only from the side where it occurs but also from the front and rear of the house. Chimneys are not proposed. • F,G,&H - 37 • DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2012-00968 AND DRC2Ci2-01097 — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA January 15, 2013 "race 3 Staff Co amen s: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this Project. 1. To ensure that the arehltec*,ure of each house will be consistent with the design goals and policies of the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission including "360-degree architecture," the following shall be provided: a. Bungalow, Ranch, Country, and Monterey (all Plans) — Apply the decorative veneer wainscot to the entire width of the front and rear elevations. At the corner of each house. where the side elevation intersects with the rear elevation, the veneer shall wrap around the corner and terminate at a logical point along the side elevation. At the corner of each house, where the side elevation intersects with the front elevation, the veneer shall wrap around the corner and terminate at the return wall. b. All Themes and all Plans — Provide additional shutters on the windows on both floors on all elevations (it is not necessary to provide them on all windows). • c. Lots 20, 21, and 37 —Apply the decorative veneer wainscot to the entire width of the elevation that faces Etiwanda Avenue. d. Lots 38— Apply the decorative veneer wainscot to the entire width of the elevation that faces "C Court. Secondary issues: Once all of the maior issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. The molding along the top of the stone or brick veneer wainscots shall also be stone or brick and not foam. 2. At Lot 38, the maximum height of the wall at the southeast part of the lot and generally parallel to "C" Court that is within the building setback is 3 feet (measure from finished grade). 3. The Etiwanda Avenue stone curbing shall be restored or reconstructed in conformance with the adopted City standards acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission.

The applicant's representative followed with a response to the comments report. He requested that the Committee accept the rear elevation of each house without any decorative wainscot veneer. He stated that the price point of the homes and the location of the project site near 1-15 Freeway did not justify the additional veneer. In addition, he indicated that because of the cost of the additional veneer, there would be an impact on the quality/quantity of the features inside the houses. These features, according to the applicant, are of greater value to the homeowner than the veneer on the rear elevation. Furthermore, the veneer on the rear elevations would not be visible. The Committee generally accepted the project as submitted. However, they stated that the City requires "360-degree architecture," i.e. the application of architectural details and decorative features on all elevations of a house, and that it was required for all residential development. They noted that the rear elevations of the houses were too plain and needed enhancement. Following additional discussion, the Committee accepted the absence of a decorative veneer provided that, at a minimum, architectural • details such as decorative lights, shutters, and pot shelves at the windows, and more wood trim is added to the rear elevation of each house. The applicant's architect indicated that these enhancements would be feasible. The Committee directed the applicant to revise the rear elevations to include these enhancements. The revisions would be coordinated with, and subject to the acceptance by staff prior to scheduling the project for review by the Planning Commission. Although the revised proposal did not need to be reviewed by the Committee at a follow-up meeting, the Committee requested that any revisions be submitted to them via e-mail for their review and, if necessary, comment. • F,G,&H - 39 Etiwanda Specht Plan Part 11, Chapter 5 BASK DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Fig 5-2 ER VL L LM M LM** M** Lot Area: minimum average 40,000 25,000 15,000 10,000 10,000 6,000 6,000 (in square feet) _ minimum 30,000 20,000 10,000 7,200 7,200 5,000 5,000 (in square feet) Number of DU's ..1/40;000 1/20,000 •,1/10,000 1/7,200 1/5,000- 1/5,000 1!_5,000 (per lot area in square ..2imaxhiit 2 max/lot '-4 max/lot- 4 max/lot: feet) 4 max/lot Lot Dimensions: , minimum depth 200 200 100(' 100' ,100 :a 90' 90"; e 1..

WEBB ASSOCIATES (for ANTHONY VERNOLA) -A proposal to subdivide a property of 9.56 acres into 43 lots for the purposes of residential development in the Low-Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay and Etiwanda Avenue Overlay), located at the southeast comer of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues - APN: 1100-131-01. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration, PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Single-family residences; Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) • South - Single-family residences; Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - Elementary School; Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Multi-family Apartments; Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) Note: All properties are in the Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay). Also, portions of the above noted properties within about 200 feet of Etiwanda Avenue are in the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay. B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Residential, Low-Medium (4-8 dwelling units per acre) North - Residential; Low-Medium (4-8 dwelling units per acre) South - Residential; Low-Medium (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - Residential; Low-Medium (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Residential; Medium (8-14 dwelling units per acre) C. Site Characteristics: The project site is a square parcel of about 660 feet (north-to-south) by about 660 feet (east-to-west) with an approximate area of about 417,300 square feet (9.6 acres), located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues (Exhibits B and C). The site is vacant and formerly was a vineyard. Other vegetation on-site includes short grasses and shrubs. To the north and south are single-family residences, to the east is Perdew Elementary School, and across the street is an apartment complex. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties to the east, north, and south is Low-Medium (LM) Residential District and the property to the west is zoned Medium (M) Residential District. All properties, including the subject property, are within the Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) and portions of said properties within about 200 feet of Etiwanda Avenue are within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay. The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1,245 feet and 1,233 feet, respectively. • EXHIBIT N F,G,&H - 44 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18466 —ALBERT A. W EBB ASSOCIATES December 10, 2008 • Page 2 ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into 43 lots for single-family residential development, The applicant does not intend to construct homes at this time (Exhibit D). Each lot will comply with the development standards set forth in the Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay), including lot area (minimum of 6,000 square feet with a minimum average of 5,000 square feet), depth (90 feet), and width (50 feet with 50 percent of the total lots required to be 55 feet) (Exhibit H). With the exception of the lots as described below, the proposed tract is typical in its design. The project site is subject to various restrictions-because of its location relative to Etiwanda Avenue ' and the Interstate 15 Freeway. Per the Etiwanda Specific Plan, Lots 20, 21, 37, and 38 are subject to the special standards of the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay, including an increased setback along the street (30 feet from the property line as opposed to 15 feet), and a requirement that the "front' of future homes on these lots must be oriented towards Etiwanda Avenue. As a result, these lots are larger with an average area of about 14,140 square feet, or about twice the average area (7,418 square feet) of all the lots, The Interstate 15 Freeway is aligned diagonally across the northwest corner of the site. The segment of freeway at this location is elevated above grade and overpasses the intersection of the streets. There are no sound walls at the top of the freeway embankment or on the overpass to mitigate freeway noise. To address this, Lots 37 through 43 will be larger (at about 10,370 square • feet average). Each of these lots will have a side yard area that is large enough to accommodate a typical "protected" outdoor, private space of about 20 feet wide by 65 feet deep. The size of the house footprint on Lots 37 through 43 are correspondingly reduced; the footprints as proposed will equate to a lot coverage of about 27 percent (average) in a Development District where the maximum allowed is 50 percent. Of special significance is Lot 38, This lot is immediately adjacent to the intersection of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues, and the Interstate 15 Freeway overpass. The Design Review Committee requested changes (described below) to this lot to address noise impacts, including increasing its size so that it is larger than the other lots at 19,403 square feet. Also, to ensure that a future home is as far away as possible from the street intersection and freeway, the location of the potential house footprint is at the northeast portion of the lot as opposed to being in the center. As subdividing Lot 38 would undermine the purpose of these changes, a deed restriction to prevent this has been incorporated into the conditions of approval. B. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was conducted to gather input and comments from the owners of the surrounding properties within 660 feet of the project site. This meeting was held at Perdew Elementary School on July 1,5, 2008. One person from the surrounding community attended. He did not have any specific objections to the project; however, he was concerned about current traffic-related problems in the vicinity (speeding vehicles and traffic volume) and the need for public improvements (such as a traffic signal at the intersection of Miller and East Avenues) that he wanted addressed. Planning staff directed him to the appropriate City departments for additional information for discussion and solution. C. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Review Committee (Addington and • James) reviewed the application on August 19, 2008. The Committee accepted the application and recommended approval. Their conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. F,G,&H - 45 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18466 —ALBERT A. W EBB ASSOCIATES • December 10, 2008 Page 3 D. Design Review Committees: The Design Review Committee (Munoz, Stewart, and Nicholson) reviewed the application on August 19, 2008 (Exhibit F). The Committee generally accepted the subdivision as proposed, noting that the overall design was typical. However, the applicant was directed to modify the northwest corner (specifically Lot 38) of the proposed subdivision by adjusting lot sizes, re-arranging the lots, or eliminating the lot. These changes were required to address the Committee's concern regarding the suitability of a residential structure located in close proximity to the Interstate 15 Freeway overpass where usual noise mitigation measures are limited because of Caltrans' policy regarding noise walls along the freeway right-of-way and limits on wall height along Etiwanda Avenue as established in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant had proposed providing at each affected lot a "protected" outdoor area that would be buffered from freeway noise by the bulk of the house. The_Committee deemed this solution to be inadequate as the precise design/architecture and layout of the homes is not known. The applicant returned with a revised proposal for review on October 14, 2008, (Exhibit G) to address the Committee's comments. Revisions included enlarging Lot 38 (essentially Lots 38 and 39 of the previous layout were combined), a corresponding increase in the area of the "protected" outdoor, private space, and the relocation of the potential house footprint on Lot 38 to the previous location of the house footprint on Lot 39. The lot areas for Lots 21 and 37 were also increased by about 1,200 square feet to 13,305 and 14,479 square feet, respectively. The Committee was satisfied with this revision and recommend approval. Their conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. • E. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 related to biological resources, hydrology and water quality, noise, and air quality, 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, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project. CORRESPONDENCE: This item 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. No comments have been received. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Tentative Tract Map SBTT18466 by adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts.

WEBB ASSOCIATES December 10, 2008 Page 2 • f. The application contemplates the subdivision of the subject parcel into 43 lots for single-family residential development. The applicant does not intend to construct the homes at this time,and g. Individual lot areas will range between 5,500 square feet to 19,403 square feet with an average of 7,418 square feet (these dimensions exceed the minimum of 5,000 square feet with a minimum average of 6,000 square feet), the depth of each lot will be at least 90 feet, and the width of each lot will be at least 50 feet (with 50 percent of these lots having a minimum width of 55 feet); and h. As the applicant has not submitted any applications to develop the site, any proposals for construction of residential structures on these parcels will be subject to review and action by the Planning Commission at a later date. These parcels will remain vacant until then; and i. All lots will have access to a public right-of-way. The applicantwill construct new streets and all lots will have direct driveway access. 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 design or improvements of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and the Etiwanda Specific Plan; and C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; 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; and e. The Tentative Tract Map is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and f. The design of the Tentative Tract Map 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. 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 ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA G uidelines, 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,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 F,G,&H - .49 PLANNING COMMISSION RE_ _)LUTION NO. 08-67 SUBTT18466—ALBERT A. WEBB ASSOCIATES December 10, 2008 • Page 3 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 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. Pursuant to the requirements of California Fish and Game Code Section 711.4 and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 753.5, the Planning Commission finds, based on the Initial Study, the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and considering the record as a whole, that there is no evidence before the City that the proposed project will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. The site has been previously disced and weed abated. Based on substantial evidence,the Planning Commission hereby makes a declaration rebutting the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in California Department of Fish and Game Regulation 753.5 (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Code, Section 753,5.) 5. The custodian of records forthe 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.

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting 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 proposed development 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 construct a single-family residence on each lot of a 43-lot subdivision (Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446), that was previously approved by the Planning Commission on December 10, 2008, for a total of forty-three (43) single-family residences. The underlying General Plan designation is Low Medium Residential. b. The proposed development,togetherwith the conditions applicable thereto,will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project site is vacant;the proposed land use is consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the community. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties to the north, south, and east is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay), and the property to the west, is zoned Medium (M) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay). C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the • Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan except for the height of proposed combination walls, along some of the common interior side property lines, that will exceed the maximum height limit of 6 feet (but not to exceed 8 feet in height) because of grade differences between lots. The FU PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-13 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2012-00968D — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA March 13, 2013 • Page 3 applicant has submitted a Minor Exception request for consideration by the Planning Commission. The proposed development, otherwise, meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City. 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA Guidelines,the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in December 2008 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project. No substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; no new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; and no additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures canbe imposed to substantially reduce impacts. There have been no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The previously approved subdivision is for the purpose of residential development; this project is consistent with that purpose. Staff further finds that the.project.will not have one or more significant effects not . discussed in the previous Negative Declaration, .and will not.have`more severe effects than. previously analyzed. . Additional mitigation measures that. are required (and included in this • Resolution of Approval) are in response to the Noise Analysis. that was prepared in November 13, 2012 (and revised in December 13, 2012) by Urban Crossroads to determine the specific mitigations that would be necessary to reduce the noise impacts on the proposed single- family residences to a level of less-than-significant. 5.

A. Recitals. 1. Lennar Homes of California filed an application for the issuance of Minor Exception DRC2012-01096, 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 13th day of March 2013, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said 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 meeting on March 13, 2013, including written and oral staff reports, togetherwith public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Etiwanda and Miller Avenues; and b. The project site is a vacant parcel of approximately 417,300 square feet (9.6 acres). The overall dimensions of the site are approximately 660 feet (north to south) by 660 feet (east to west); and C. To the north and south, are single-family residences; to the east, is Perdew Elementary School; and across the street to the west, is an apartment complex; and d. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties to the north, south, and • east is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); and the property to the west is zoned Medium (M) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); and F&,N -�0 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-15 MINOR E=XCEPTION DRC2012-01096 — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA March 13, 2013 Page 2 • e. This application is in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00968 and Development Review DRC2012-00968D; and f. The applicant is requesting a Minor Exception to allow the construction of combination walls(garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls)with a height of up to 8 feet along the rear and interior property lines of several lots within the proposed subdivision; and g. Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 feet. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting 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 proposed development is of sufficient size and is designed so as to provide a desirable environment within its own boundaries. The Minor Exception applies to various lots within the proposed subdivision. All lots comply with the applicable development standards for minimum lot area, minimum lot depth, and minimum lot width. The construction of these walls will allow each lot to have adequate screening and usable yard area. b. The proposed development is compatible with the existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area. The Minor Exception does not change the residential land use of the • project site, nor does it affect the residential land uses within the surrounding areas. C. Any exceptions or deviations from the density requirements or design standards result in the creation of project amenities that would not be available through the strict adherence to the Code provisions. The Minor Exception will not result in a substantially larger house,an increase in lot coverage, an increase in density, or adjustments to the physical lot area of the subject lots. d. Granting the Minor Exception will not adversely affect the interests of the public or the interests of residents and property owners in the vicinity of the premises in question. As most of the walls will be along common interior side property lines, the increased height of the walls will not be observable from public view;where the walls are located adjacent to a street(at Lots 42 and 43), the increased height of the wall will be most observable from the interior of the project site. e. The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan and Etiwanda Specific Plan. The General Plan designation of the project site is Low Medium Residential and the zoning of the property is Low Medium (LM) Residential District. The Minor Exception does not affect the General Plan designation, zoning designation, or the residential purpose of the project site. f. The exception is the minimum required in that it allows the specified improvement or development to occur, but does not provide additional development rights. The Minor Exception will allow the applicant to construct walls that will provide adequate property screening/security and usable yard area and are similar to other walls that have been constructed for the same purpose because of similar site conditions. The walls will be consistent with the standards and guidelines of the City. 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA • Guidelines, the City adopted a Negative Declaration in December 2008 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18446.

No substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances underwhich the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; no new important information shows that the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered;and no additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. There have been no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Negative Declaration. The previously approved subdivision is for the purpose of residential development; this project is consistent with that purpose. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Negative Declaration,and will not have more severe effects than previously analyzed. Additional mitigation measures that are required(and included in the Resolution of Approval for Development Review DRC2012-00968D), are in response to the Noise Analysis that was prepared in November 13, 2012 (and revised in December 13, 2012) by Urban Crossroads to determine the specific mitigations that would be necessary to reduce the noise impacts on the proposed single-family residences to a level of less-than-significant. 5.

NOTM Minor Exception RANCHO DRC2012-01096 UcAMoNGA Project Description GLIFoRNIA • The applicant requests an exception to allow the construction of combination walls (garden/screen walls on top of retaining walls) with a height of up to 8 feet; • The request applies to walls along the rear and interior property lines of several lots within the proposed subdivision; • Per Table 17.48.050-1 of the Development Code, the maximum wall height of fences and walls along the rear and interior property lines is 6 feet; • The proposed walls will be located generally where there are grade differences (stepped pads) that warrant retaining walls; Minor Exception DRC2012-00802 RANCHO UC"ONCA Project Description ta ,IFoi NU • An earthen slope, is not practical because of the lack of available space or not desirable because of the slope encroaching into the rear and side yard areas. Similarly, grading the entire site is not practical; • To allow surface water to drain to the street and the sewer lines to connect to the existing sewer line beneath the surface of the street, the finished pad elevations of each lot must be higher than the finished surface at the street; • Having stepped pads allows for the grading to follow the natural slope and/or the storm water and sewer to drain as required. • Most of the walls will be along common interior side property lines - the increased height of the walls will not be observable from public view. Where the walls are located adjacent to a street (at Lots 42 and 43), the increased height of the wall will be most observable from the interior of the project site Staff Recommendation RANCHO and Conclusion UCAMONGA CALIFORNIA Staff Recommends Approval of: Conditional Use Permit DRC2012-00968 Development Review DRC2012-00968D Minor Exception DRC2012-01096 by adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with conditions. STAFF REPORT • PLANNlNGDEPARTMWr J Date: March 13, 2013 RANCHO To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission CUCAMONGA From: Candyce Burnett, Planning Manager By: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner Subject: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DRC2013-00097 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend Table 17.38.040-1 in Article III of the Development Code in order to conditionally permit attended carwashes within the Haven Overlay District to perform Quick Lube services and to implement distance requirements to limit the number of carwashes within the Haven Avenue Overlay District as well as increase the existing separation requirements for Service Stations. Staff has prepared a Negative Declaration of the environmental impacts for consideration. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution of Approval recommending the City Council grant final approval of Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097. ANALYSIS: • A. Background: The City has been approached with requests to allow quick lube (oil change) services in conjunction with attended car wash facilities. The Development Code currently classifies Quick Lube facilities as Vehicle Services—Minor, which is not permitted within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Planning staff surveyed the existing carwashes in the City and found that each of the other full service "attended" carwashes also performed oil changes. Historically, the major concern with allowing Quick Lube facilities to operate within the Haven Avenue Overlay is that it would open the door to other vehicle repair establishments within the Haven Overlay District, which was created to encourage high-end office development with minimal commercial services. The geographical boundaries of the Haven Avenue Overlay are between Foothill Boulevard and 4th Street on both sides of Haven Avenue (Exhibit C). Staff has determined that if Quick Lube facilities were limited to businesses operating full service "attended" carwashes and there were limitations established on where carwashes could be located within the Haven Avenue Overlay, negative affects on the Haven Avenue Overlay would be minimal, if any. Oil changes are a natural extension of a full service car wash and would be a valuable service to the surrounding office users. Additionally, a share of the customers on site for an oil change would already be on site having their vehicle washed and would be afforded the opportunity of an additional service. Quick Lube facilities only offer oil changes, a service which can be performed in approximately 30 minutes. The final design of the oil change facility, including whether the oil changes will take place using an underground pit or an above ground lift, will be determined during the Conditional Use Permit process. B. Development Code Amendment: Permitting Quick Lube facilities within the Haven Avenue • Overlay requires amending Development Code Table 17.38.040-1 (Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements for Haven Avenue Overlay Zoning District). The amendment consists of three separate components: Item I PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DRC2013-00097 MARCH 13, 2013 Page 2 1. Adding a footnote to the use tit!e "Car Washing and Detailing" to permit Quick-Lube • services when part of an "attended" car wash. 2. Adding Carwashes and Detailing establishments to the current Haven Avenue Overlay separation requirements for Service Stations ('/2 mile between service stations) and increase the major intersection distance requirement from the Haven Avenue/Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue/4th Street intersections from 800 feet to '/2 mile. This change will limit the number of car washes (and Quick Lube facilities) within the Haven Avenue Overlay to only two possible locations. 3. Requiring that Quick Lube facilities be fully screened from public view from the Haven Avenue right-of-way. These changes will permit a full service "attended" carwash to opetate a Quick Lube facility within the Haven Avenue Overlay. It will also limit the number of carwashes and service stations within the Haven Avenue Overlay and require that they be screened from Haven Avenue. There is currently one full service "attended" carwash operating within the overlay. A second automated carwash is proposed for the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and 6th Street that is going through the approval process that would not be eligible to operate a Quick-Lube facility as the amendment only covers full service "attended" carwashes. The changes to Table 17.38.040-1 are outlined below. New text is shown in bold and deleted text is shown is shown in 6tfilcethFedgh.

Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, 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 there was no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Negative Declaration. • 1 -2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DRC2013-00097 MARCH 13, 2013 Page 3 • CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper with a large, 1/8th page legal ad. 1 Respec ul) submitted, .--7) _ _ Candy OL4. ��``��''UU Burnett Planning Manager CB:TV/Is Attachments: Exhibit A - Development Code Amendment Text Changes Exhibit B - Service Station and Carwash Separation Illustration Exhibit C - Haven Avenue Overlay Illustration Exhibit D - Initial Study Parts I and II Draft Resolution of Approval for Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Draft CC Ordinance for Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 • • 1-3 Development Code DRC2013-00097: Staff recommends the following amendments to • Development Code Table 17.38.040-1.

Project Sponsor's Name and Address: City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 5. General Plan Designation: Industrial Park • 6. Zoning: Industrial Park (IP) District 7. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: Regional Description Rancho Cucamonga is located in the Inland Empire of California —in San Bernardino County. It is located 37 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. Direct freeway access to the City may be taken from the Foothill Freeway (SR-210) and Ontario Freeway (1-15). The County of San Bernardino (unincorporated areas) and the City of Fontana are located east of Rancho Cucamonga. Upland is located west of the City. Ontario is adjacent to the south and southwest portions of the City. The County of San Bernardino (unincorporated areas) is located to the north of the City. The City of Rancho Cucamonga encompasses a total planning area of approximately 50 square miles. Thirty-eight square miles constitute the incorporated area, augmented by a 12 square mile Sphere-of-Influence that generally extends from the City's northern border up to the San Bernardino National Forest. The predominant City pattern for commercial activity is characterized by the commercial corridor along Foothill Boulevard, accented by the planned clusters of commercial and service businesses at many of the intersections. The northerly two-thirds of the City is predominately residential, while the southerly one-third is largely industrial. Commercial centers are mostly located along the main east/west spine of the City, Foothill Boulevard. The northerly edge of our Sphere-of-Influence is dominated primarily by open spaces of various types—a transition from the • San Bernardino National Forest and Mountains that frame this part of the West Valley area of San Bernardino County. 1-19 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 2 Area and Site Description • The Haven Avenue Overlay District is a zoning district that applies to properties located along both sides of Haven Avenue and is located between 41h Street and Foothill Boulevard. The dimension of the overlay is about 1.5 miles (north to south) and about 1,000 feet (east to west)- The proposed project is not site-specific; it involves the adoption of an ordinance that will amend Table 17.38.040-1 in Article III of the Development Code in order to permit attended carwashes to perform oil change services with a Conditional Use Permit within the Haven Avenue Overlay District, and to implement requirements for the minimum separation between carwashes to limit the number of carwashes and an increase in the existing minimum separation between service stations within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. 8.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but O O O (✓) not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or O O O (✓) quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) which would &dversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Comments: a) The proposed amendment applies to the Haven Avenue Overlay District. This District is within a view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6. Although the proposed amendment could result in an increase of oil change services, it is anticipated that it will not negatively impact scenic vistas as operations resulting from this amendment will be required to be conducted within an enclosed building that will be subject to a minimum building setback along Haven Avenue. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not • have an impact. b) There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. C) The project is the adoption of a text amendment conditionally permitting oil change facilities that are part of an "attended" carwash and placing limitations on where service stations and carwashes may be located within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Although the proposed amendment could result in an increase of oil change services, it is anticipated that it will not negatively impact visual character as operations resulting from this amendment will be required to be conducted within an enclosed building that will be subject to a minimum building setback along Haven Avenue. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future projects related to the amendment will be reviewed on an individual basis to verify compliance light and glare requirements. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project., a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) • Williamson Act contract? 1 -22 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 5 • n Big.$Ip1Yith8nt 11t Ipm . thfiallyWith T n Issues and Supporting Information Sources: nifmnt c ption $ipmflw nt No P.d Itete0 Im ad IMP.0 C) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause re-zoning of, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓ ) forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220 (g), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104 (g))? d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) land to non-forest use? e) Involve other chanoes in the existing environment, O O O (✓) which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and will not directly or indirectly affect any Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City, of which about one-third is either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2. The major concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern portions • of the City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Further, two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and their economic viability is doubtful; therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. Therefore, impacts will be less than significant. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. C) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land or timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that quality as forest land or timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the loss or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) See response for 2.a and 2.c above. • 1 -23 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 6 Th Signifm less Issues and SupportingInformation Sources: Potentlaily `"nm Than Signifimil Mitigation Significant No Im ed Irco eted Im em 'Mp.'. 3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project., a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) applicable air quaiity plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? C) Result in a curn0afively considerable net increase of O O O (✓) any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial O O O (✓) number of people? Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. The Planning Department will review future operations resulting • from this amendment on a case-by-case basis for compliance with air quality standards and, If there is an impact, impose mitigation measures to ensure a less-than-significant impact. Additionally, as noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.3), the proposed project would not interfere with the region's ability to comply with Federal and State air quality standards for Criterion 1 Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations (local air quality impacts) or Criterion 2 Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP (consistency with the 2003 AQMP). Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) The proposed project is for a Development Code text amendment. Although the project does not involve a site-specific project at this time, staff has determined that a maximum of two ancillary oil change service stations can be constructed under the code amendment. Continued development will contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would settle on or near the project site, smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a project- specific basis and in conformance with the General Plan FPEIR. Air quality related emissions associated with the construction and operation of projects that result from this amendment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review and be required to mitigate potential impacts to reduce impacts to less-than-significant • levels. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. 1 .24 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 7 • Leas Then Sign�wnt Lesa Issues and Su ortin Information Sources: TSIgr entially wrtn nen pp g iB ent Mitipalion Sign antNa Im h Inco retetl Im act MPW C) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated for air quality related emissions on a case-by-case basis when submitted for review. As noted in the General Plan FOR (Section 4.3), continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General Flan for which the F'PEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. Although there are sensitive receptors within Y4 mile of the project area, the proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project and thus will not increase existing air quality emissions that would expose sensitive receptors to additional pollutant concentrations. Air quality related emissions associated with the construction and operation of projects that result • from this amendment will be evaluated on a case by case basis when they are submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. Future projects related to the text amendment are not expected to produce objectionable orders that would affect a substantial number of people. Construction Odors (Short-term) associated with the future projects may include odors associated with equipment use including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and would dissipate rapidly. Operation Odors (Long-term) are typically associated with the type of use. Common odors associated with commercial land uses would be expected (i.e. restaurants). Local odors from the majority of land uses would be similar to other urban areas and would not be considered significant. Industrial uses could create objectionable odors and therefore are located away from residential uses and sensitive receptors. Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat • or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? 1 -25 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 8 Less Than • Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than pp g Significant Mitigation Sign(cent No im oct Incor .tad Im act Im acl C) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. The project does not involve a site-specific project. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and • Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, a portion of the project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources; (Delhi Soils Area Boundary). Future projects within this area will be required to submit a study to determine the presence of this biological resource prior to approval. Appropriate Mitigation will be required to reduce any impact to a less than significant level. If not mitigatable, the appropriate Environmental Document shall be prepared for the project. Projects that result from this amendment will be evaluated for any potential effects on biological resources on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, a portion of the project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources; (Delhi Soils Area Boundary). Future projects within this area will be required to submit a study to determine the presence of this biological resource prior to approval. Appropriate Mitigation will be required to reduce any impact to a less than significant level. If not mitigatable, the appropriate Environmental Document shall be prepared for the project. Projects that result from this amendment will be evaluated for any potential effects on biological resources on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review. No adverse impacts are anticipated. C) The project does not involve a site-specific project and will not adversely affect any wetlands. No wetland habitat is present within the proposed development code amendment project area. As a result, project implementation would have no impact on these resources. d) The project does not involve a site-specific project and will not adversely affect any • migratory patterns or nursery sites. The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous natural open space areas. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south trending tributaries in the northern portion of the City and 1 -26 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 9 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: raemiany With Than Signi(wnt Mitigation Significant No Im ad Inco atetl Im cl Im act within the Sphere of Influence. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. Projects that result from this amendment will be evaluated for any potential effects on heritage trees on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review. A tree removal permit shall be required prior to removal of any heritage trees and appropriate mitigation shall be required. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. f) The project is-for a proposed Development Code text amendment. Neither the City nor the SOI are within an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved State Habitat Conservation Plan area. The project site is not located within a local conservation area according to the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Figure RC-1. No conflicts with habitat conservation plans will occur 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) significance of a historical resource as defined in § 15064.5? • b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓ ) significance of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? C) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓ ) resource or site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) outside of formal cemeteries? Comments: a) The project is for a proposed Development Code text amendment. No sites within the project area have been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). There will be no impact. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) The project is for a proposed Development Code text amendment. There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded in the project area. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated for any potential effects on archeological resources on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. C) The project is for a proposed Development Code text amendment. There are no known paleontological resources in the project area.

Comments: a) The project is for a proposed Development Code text amendment. No known faults pass through the project area and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis when submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated for potential soil erosion or loss of topsoil on a case-by-case basis when submitted for review. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion • problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control; however, development of future 1-28 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 11 • Less Then Sigmfmnt Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: FBriifi ey With ehen Si ni6oant Miti oligo $i ni(cenl No iIm. ed Incor etee Im ad Im e I projects permitted with the Development Code Amendment and under the requirements of the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Appropriate Mitigation will be required to reduce any impact to a less than significant level. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. C) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. The project area is not within an Earthquake hazard zone or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-2. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated for onsite and offsite soil stability on a case-by-case basis when submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated for soil stability on a case-by-case basis when submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) The proposed Development Code text amendment does not involve a site-specific project.

Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. The project does not involve a site-specific project and will not increase existing greenhouse gas emissions. Future projects within the project area may increase short term emissions with construction activities. The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.5) indicates that GHG emissions result from construction activities associated with diesel-powered construction equipment and other combustion sources (i.e. Generators, workers vehicles, material delivery, etc.). The GHG emitted by construction equipment is primarily carbon dioxide (CO2). The highest levels of construction related GHG's occur during site preparation including demolition, grading and excavation. Construction related GHG's are also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction workers traveling to the job site. Exhaust emissions from construction activities would vary each day with the changes in construction activity on site. The combustion of fossil-based fuels creates GHG's such as CO2, Cho, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. GHG related emissions associated with the construction and operation of projects that result from this amendment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review • and be required to mitigate potential impacts to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. No adverse impacts are anticipated 1 -29 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 12 Than Less Tn • LessSignhallant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Win Than pp 9 Significant Mitigation Significant No impact Inw ated Im ed Im ad b) The project does not involve a site-specific project or construction project. The future development of new facilities related to the amendment will be evaluated for greenhouse gas emission on a case-by-case basis when submitted for review. No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update included adopted policies and Standard Conditions that respond to the Attorney General and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). The General Plan policies and Standard Conditions guide infill and sustainable development reliant on pedestrian connections, re-use and rehabilitation of existing structures, link transportation opportunities, promote development that is sensitive to natural resources and incentivizes denser mixed use projects that maximizes diverse opportunities. The General Plan Final Program Environmental-Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of GHG's and determined that GHG emissions would be cumulatively considerable, which would be a significant unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly (AB) 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. 8. HAZARDS AND WASTE MATERIALS. Would the project., a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) environment through the routine transport, use, or • disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? C) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 114 mile of an existing or proposed school? d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? • 1-30 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 13 • Then n Less Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact I Impact h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Comments: a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and maintenance activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through construction activities that would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease, and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. The Planning Department will review future projects related to the text amendment on a case-by-case basis related to hazardous materials when they are submitted for review. Therefore, the • proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. The Planning Department will review future projects related to the text amendment for issues whether related to the release of hazardous materials when they are submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. C) There are no schools located within 1/4 mile of the project area. The project area is located about 0.40 mile from the nearest existing school, Rancho Cucamonga Middle School, located at 10022 Feron Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. The Planning Department will review future projects related to the text amendment for whether they are located on a site that contains hazardous materials when they are submitted for review. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) The project area is located within an airport land use plan according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific development. Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77 regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. • f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 and 1/2 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. 1 -31 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendm6nt DRC2013-00097 Page 14 Than en • LessSi Th nLass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With can Significant Mitigation Si nifcent No Im ed Inco taaf Im ect Im a g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and evacuation routes to existing development. Future development related to the text amendment will be located in an area that has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Future projects related to the text amendment will be required to have at least two points of public street access and comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind-driven fires in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the project area is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone according to General Plan Figure PS-1. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact 9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project., a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) requirements? b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater tab!e level (e.g., the • production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? C) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner, which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on- or off-site? e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?

( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-spec fisc project. Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare an SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for compliance with water quality and waste discharge requirements on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. The proposed project area will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a recharge • basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Figure RC-3. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.9), continued development citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact. CVWD has plans to meet this increased need to the year 2030. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. C) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for compliance with all hydrology and water quality requirements on a case-by-case basis. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved for all future projects by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for compliance with all hydrology and water quality related requirements on a case-by-case basis.

Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system designed to adequately convey floodwaters from a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flews. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Figure PS-6. The project area is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. j) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project area; therefore impacts from seiche and tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern San Gabriei Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the level of non-significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. • 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project a) Physically divide an established community? b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan ( ) ( ) ( ) H or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and does not involve a site-specific project. The project area is located along Haven Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and 4 h Street and is characterized by office, commercial and industrial development. Future projects related to the amendment will be of similar design and size to surrounding commercial development within the Haven Avenue Overlay. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) The land use designation of the project area is Industrial Park (IP) District. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, SCAG's Compass Blueprint, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan.

No Im aot Inco orated impact Im aot Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16), continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The project area is mostly developed with existing street improvements. Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for traffic impacts on a case-by-case basis. Applicants for future development of site-specific projects resulting from this Development Code text amendment may be required to submit a traffic study that analyzes traffic volume generated by the site-specific project. The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards if they are missing. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an adverse impact. b) Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for traffic impacts on a case- by-case basis. Applicants for future development of site-specific projects resulting from this Development Code text amendment may be required to submit a traffic study that analyzes traffic volume generated by the site-specific project. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters passed the Measure I extension which requires local • jurisdictions to impose appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees. As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. Site-specific projects will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted transportation development fee prior to issuance of building permit. The project area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. Site-specific projects will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards if they are missing. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an adverse impact. C) The project area is located within an airport land use plan according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment and is not site-specific. Future projects related to the amendment will be evaluated for compliance with FAR Part 77 regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) The project area is mostly developed. The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future projects related to the amendment will be required to provide street improvements and meet all street design standards and will not include farming uses. The project will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future projects related to the amendment will be required to include access for all emergency vehicles • during construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an 1 -40 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 23 • Leas Than Significant Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Polamiany In Than pp 9 Significant Mitigation Than No Impact_ InwrpweteU Im act Im ad inadequate emergency access.

Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future projects related to the amendment will be served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 and RP-4 treatment plants. The RP-1 capacity is sufficient to exceed the additional development within the western and southern areas of the City. The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of 28 mgd which is considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in wastewater generation for buildout of the General Plan. Projects that result from this amendment will be required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. • b) See response above. 1 -41 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 24 Lass Than • SignMicent Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: gg No Im aci Inw ate0 Im C Im eq C) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future projects related to the amendment will have all runoff conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. d) The project area is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve any future projects that result from this amendment. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. e) The project area is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. 0 Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes the refuse at a permitted landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City's solid waste disposal needs. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. g) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future projects related to the amendment will comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations regarding solid waste. The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to • implement waste reduction procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an impact. b) Does the project have impacts that are individually ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? C) Does the project have environmental effects that will ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: a) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. The project does not involve a site-specific project. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, a portion of the project site is within an area of sensitive biological resources; (Delhi Soils Area Boundary). Future projects within this area will be required to submit a study to determine the presence of this biological resource prior to approval. Appropriate mitigation will be required to reduce any impact to a less than significant level. If not mitigatable, the appropriate Environmental Document shall be prepared for the project. Projects that result from this amendment will be evaluated for any potential effects on biological resources on a case-by-case basis when they are submitted for review. No adverse impacts are anticipated. Therefore, the • proposed code amendment will not have an adverse impact. 1.42 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Development Code Amendment DRC2013-00097 Page 25 • b) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future site-specific projects resulting from the amendment will be will be limited to within the Haven Avenue Overlay District. Impacts related to the construction and operation of new facilities will be determined following the submittal of environmental analyses such as air quality, biological, noise, and traffic studies. If a site-specific project is approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2010 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build-out in the City and Sphere-of-Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forest Resources, Air Oua!ity, Climate Change and Mineral Resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required. C) The project is the adoption of a Development Code text amendment. Future site-specific projects resulting from to the amendment will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis for whether they may have a direct or indirect substantial adverse effect on human beings. Impacts related to the construction and operation of new facilities will be determined following the submittal of environmental analyses such as air quality, biological, noise, and • traffic studies. Mitigation measures, if necessary, will be required to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Therefore, the proposed code amendment will not have an adverse impact. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier PEIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).
