Schrader, Planning Commission Secretary Subject: SELECTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION TRAILS COMMITTEE MEMBERS s RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission should consider the current Commission representation for the Trails Advisory Committee (TAC). By minute action, the Commission should affirm their current representation or select two of its members plus an alternate to serve for a 24- month term (2 years). A new selection is not required at this time unless a Commissioner(s) should desire to serve or not serve. BACKGROUND: The Trails Advisory Committee is comprised of two members of the Park and Recreation Commission, two members of the Planning Commission, and two Members at Large. The Members at Large serve as representatives of the biking and equestrian community. The Committee is facilitated by a staff member designated by the Planning Manager. The staff member is a non-voting member. The Trails Advisory Committee assists both the Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission by reviewing proposed projects that may impact the existing trail system, its use, future improvements and addressing resident concerns. The TAC reviews and recommends priorities for trail improvement projects and forwards those recommendations to the Planning Commission and the Park and Recreation Commission for consideration which then are forwarded to the City Council as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Typically, the Planning Commission reviews the TAC membership in July if a Commission member is nearing the end of a term. Currently, Chairman Howdyshell serves the TAC and was installed as a regular member in 2008 and therefore has completed 2 and one-half terms. Commissioner Wimberly has served the TAC since 2012 and has completed one-half of a term. Commissioner Oaxaca has served as Alternate since 2010 and has completed one and one-half terms.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Multi-Family Apartment Complex; Medium (M) Residential District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay Zoning District (Subarea 4) South- Varies; General Industrial (GI) District East - Etiwanda/San Sevaine Flood Control Channel; Floodway (FW) (unincorporated San Bernardino County) West - Single-Family Residences/Multi-Family Apartment Complex; Low (L), Low Medium (LM), and Medium (M) Residential Districts, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Medium Residential and Flood Control/Utility Corridor North - Low Medium South - General Industrial East - n/a (unincorporated San Bernardino County) West - Low and Medium C. Site Characteristics: The project site is a vacant parcel located about 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route (Exhibit B). The project site is an ITEM E,F1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18870 AND DRC2013-00483—LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 2 irregularly-shaped vacant parcel with an overall area of about 3.5 million square feet (80.8 acres). The site is approximately 1,900 feet deep (north to south); because of its irregular shape, it is approximately 1,300 feet wide (east to west) at the north property line and approximately 2,100 feet wide at the south property line. There is a "dog leg" extension that is approximately 232 feet in width and 688 feet in length at the northwest corner of the property that extends to Foothill Boulevard. The project site was previously used by Ameron, a concrete pipe manufacturer located nearby at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Arrow Route, for outdoor storage (of, for example, finished pipe segments). To the west of the project site are the Victoria Woods apartment complex and a single-family residential subdivision. To the north is the San Sevaine Villas apartment complex. Immediately to the east, and parallel to the east property line of the project site, is the Etiwanda/San Sevaine flood control channel. To the south are legal, non-conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. Principal street frontage will be along Arrow Route with a length of approximately 2,100 feet. Secondary street frontage will be along Foothill Boulevard with a length of approximately 232 feet (at the north end of the aforementioned "dog leg"). Within the project site is a corridor comprised of easements in favor of Southern California Edison (SCE) and Southern California Gas Company (SCGC), and associated improvements such as transmission lines. This corridor is located parallel to the west property line of the project site and is approximately 22 acres in area. The "dog leg" portion of the property is entirely within this corridor. Because of the presence of this utility corridor, the actual area of the project site that is available for development is approximately 64 acres. The zoning of the majority of the site is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); the portion of the site that is within the utility corridor described above is zoned Open Space (OS) District. The zoning of the properties to the west beyond the utility corridor are Low (L), Low Medium (LM), and Medium (M) Residential Districts, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay). The zoning of the property to the north is Medium (M) Residential District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay Zoning District (Subarea 4). The zoning of the properties to the south is General Industrial (GI) District. The zoning of the flood control channel to the east is Floodway (FW) (unincorporated San Bernardino County). The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of approximately 1,180 feet and 1,155 feet, respectively. ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into 291 numbered lots for a private (gated) single-family residential development (Exhibit D and E). There will be an additional eleven (11) lettered lots for an existing, unrelated Southern Gas Company facility (Lot A) and common areas as follows: open space along the Arrow Route street frontage (Lots B, C, and D); two private parks (Lots E and F); pedestrian access pathways (Lots G and H), and private streets (Lot 1). All lots will comply with the development standards applicable to this zoning district as described in Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Individual lot areas will range between 5,000 square feet to 13,450 square feet which are in excess of the minimum of 5,000 square feet that is required. The minimum average lot area is 6,738 square feet which is in excess of the minimum 6,000 square feet that is required. The depth of each lot will be at least 90 feet, and the width of each lot at the required front setback will be at least 50 feet (with 50 percent of the lots being a minimum of 55 feet in width as required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan). Included in the proposal is a network of private streets and two (2) gated entrances that will link the site to Arrow Route. As streets are not permitted within the utility corridor, there will not be any vehicle access directly to Foothill Boulevard. ITEM E,F2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18870 AND DRC2013-00483—LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 3 Along the south side of the project site, along the Arrow Route street frontage, there will be a series of community entry monument signs, decorative vehicle gates, ornate wood trellis structures, and extensive landscaping. In addition to aesthetically enhancing the entrance into the project site, these features will, in combination with a continuous perimeter block wall, buffer the project site from existing/potential industrial land uses on the properties on the south side of Arrow Route. Two private parks are proposed within the interior of the subdivision. These parks will include typical playground equipment, open lawn areas, benches, and decorative entry trellises (Exhibit G). Within the utility corridor a 20-foot wide trail will be constructed per Figure CS-3 — Hiking and Riding Trails Master Plan — of the General Plan. This trail will be a part of the Community Trail network. The alignment of this trail will extend from Arrow Route to Foothill Boulevard. Per the General Plan, Arrow Route will be the south terminus of the trail, i.e. the trail will not continue further south. At Foothill Boulevard, the trail will eventually connect with the trail segment that will be constructed by others in conjunction with future development on the other side of the street. It will be located generally adjacent, and parallel, to the eastern limit of the utility corridor and the rear property lines of proposed Lots 1 through 21, 138, 137, and 141 through 146 (Exhibit A of Exhibit 1). The total length of the trail will be approximately 2,700 feet. Two (2) pedestrian connections, with decorative features such as overhead trellises, will link the subdivision to the Community Trail. These connections are located between Lots 20 and 21, and Lots 1 and 137 (identified as Lots G and H, respectively). Based on separate meetings with representatives of SCE and SCGC, as the trail will be located within the overlapping easements of both utilities where infrastructure is present (SCE transmission towers and lines above-ground and a SCGC pipeline below ground), the design of the trail will be subject to their authority and restrictions (Exhibit C of Exhibit 1). Trail-related improvements such as fences, light standards, landscaping, etc. that are typically required for Community Trails may be very limited or not present altogether along this segment of the Community Trail system. The applicant and the City's Engineering Services Department are currently in negotiations with SCE for the construction of a master storm drain (to mitigate incremental water runoff from the project site) within a segment of the utility corridor that is located "downstream", i.e. to the south of the project site. As SCE has easement rights within the corridor, SCE may deny or delay the installation of the storm drain. In the event that this occurs, the construction of alternate drainage improvements, including an interim detention basin, may be required. The interim detention basin will be located at the southwest area of the project site at Lots 144 through 153 (Sheet 2 of Exhibit D). Grading and construction of the proposed homes for those lots, as a result, will be postponed. All costs associated with the construction of the detention basin will be borne by the developer and maintenance will be provided by the homeowners association. Temporary detention basins for similar reasons are not uncommon; as with other detention basins that are located within other subdivisions in the City, a wrought iron fence and landscaping will be provided along the perimeter of this potential detention basin. B. Development Review DRC2012-01202: In conjunction with the tentative tract map, the applicant proposes to construct a single-family residence on each lot for a total of 291 single-family residences. As the Design Review Committee did not accept the architecture of the homes as proposed (further discussed below), the Planning Commission public hearing for the development review application will occur at a later, regularly scheduled date. C. 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 ITEM E,F3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18870 AND DRC2013-00483—LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 4 held at Perdew Elementary School located at 13051 Miller Avenue on April 29, 2013. Three individuals from the surrounding community attended. None of them had any specific objections to the project and generally attended for the purpose of obtaining information such as construction schedules and home prices. D. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Review Committee (Addington and Miller) and Technical Review Committee reviewed the application on April 30, 2013. The Committees accepted the proposal and recommends approval. Their conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. E. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Fletcher, Oaxaca, and Granger) reviewed the application on April 30, 2013 (Exhibit H). Staff presented a brief overview of the project and summarized the major/secondary issues relating to the architecture and site development. During the presentation Staff noted that the content and direction of the report prepared for this meeting took into consideration the feedback that was received by staff during the Planning Commission's Design Workshop held on April 10, 2013. The Committee reviewed the subdivision layout, private open space/landscaping design, and architecture of the homes. The architecture was generally considered to be unacceptable. The Committee directed the applicant to extensively revise the architecture of the houses. When the revised proposal is ready, the applicant will resubmit it to the Committee for review and action at a later, regularly scheduled meeting. The Committee accepted the subdivision layout and private open space/landscaping as proposed and recommends approval. Their conditions that apply to the tentative tract map have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. F. Trails Advisory Committee: The Trails Advisory Committee reviewed the application on May 8, 2013 (Exhibit 1). The Committee acknowledged that there are significant design constraints that apply to the proposed segment of the Community Trail because of it's alignment within the utility corridor and the authority/restrictions of Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas Company. The Committee accepted the proposal and recommends approval. Their conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. G. Tree Removal Permit DRC2013-00483: The proposed project includes the removal of nine (9) Southern California black walnut trees that are at various locations within the project site (Exhibit J). The applicant has submitted a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of these trees. It is necessary to remove the trees in order to grade the site, and construct future single-family residences and associated improvements which will allow economic enjoyment of the property. Replacement trees of a minimum size of 15 gallons will be required to be planted on a one-to-one basis elsewhere within the project site. H. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, Staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related to, for example, air quality (including greenhouse gases), biological resources, hydrology/water quality, and noise 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.

Related file: Development Review DRC2012-01202. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2012-01202 LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA - A review of 291 single-family homes that will be constructed in conjunction with a proposed subdivision of a parcel of approximately 3,047,614 square feet (79.67-acres) within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay), located approximately 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route -APN: 0229-041-09. Related file: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18870. Site Characteristics: The project .site is an irregularly-shaped vacant parcel with an overall area of approximately 3.5 million square feet (80.8 acres). The site is approximately 1,900 feet deep (north to south); because of its irregular shape, it is approximately 1,300 feet wide (east to west) at the north property line and approximately 2,100 feet wide at the south property line. There is a "dog leg" extension that is approximately 232 feet in width and 688 feet in length at the northwest corner of the property that extends to Foothill Boulevard. The project site was previously used by Ameron, a concrete pipe manufacturer located nearby at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Arrow Route, for outdoor storage (finished pipe segments). To the west of the project site are the Victoria Woods apartment complex and a single-family residential subdivision. To the north is the San Sevaine Villas apartment complex. To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, non-conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. Principal street frontage will be along Arrow Route with a length of approximately 2,100 feet. Secondary street frontage will be along Foothill Boulevard with a length of approximately 232 feet (at the north end of the aforementioned "dog leg"). A corridor comprised of easements in favor of Southern California Edison (SCE) and Southern California Gas Company (SCGC), and associated improvements, such as transmission lines, are located parallel to the west property line of the project site. This corridor is approximately 22 acres in area. The "dog leg" portion of the property is entirely within this corridor. Because of the presence of this utility corridor, the actual area of the project site that is available for development is approximately 64 acres. The Etiwanda/San Sevaine flood control channel is located parallel to the east property line of the project site. The zoning of the majority of the site is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); the portion of the site that is within the utility corridor described above is zoned Open Space (OS) District. The zoning of the properties to the west beyond the utility corridor are Low (L), Low Medium (LM), and Medium (M) Residential Districts, and Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay). The zoning of the property to the north is Medium (M) Residential District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay Zoning District (Subarea 4). The zoning of the properties to the south is General Industrial (GI) District. The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of approximately 1,180 feet and 1,155 feet, respectively. EXHIBIT H ITEM E,F41 DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBT718870 AND DRC2012-01202 April 30, 2013 Page 2 General: The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into 291 numbered lots for a private (gated) single-family residential development. There will be an additional eleven (11) lettered lots for an existing, unrelated Southern California Gas Company facility (Lot A) and common areas as follows: open space along the Arrow Route street frontage (Lots B — D); two private parks (Lots E and F); pedestrian access pathways (Lots G and H), and private streets (Lot 1). All lots will comply with the development standards applicable to this zoning district as described in Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Individual lot areas will range between 5,000 square feet to 13,450 square feet, which are in excess of the minimum of 5,000 square feet that is required. The minimum average lot area is 6,738 square feet, which is in excess of the minimum 6,000 square feet that is required. The depth of each lot will be at least 90 feet, and the width of each lot at the required front setback will be at least 50 feet (with 50 percent of the lots being a minimum of 55 feet in width as required by the Etiwanda Specific Plan). Included in the proposal is a network of private streets and two (2) gated entrances that will link the site to Arrow Route. As streets are not permitted within.the utility corridor, there will not be any vehicle access directly to Foothill Boulevard. Along the south side of the project site, along the Arrow Route street frontage, there will be a series of community entry monument signs, decorative vehicle gates, ornate wood trellis structures, and extensive landscaping. In addition to aesthetically enhancing the entrance into the project site, these features will, in combination with a continuous perimeter block wall, buffer the project site from existing/potential industrial land uses on the properties on the other side of Arrow Route. Two private parks are proposed within the interior of the subdivision. These parks will include typical playground equipment, open lawn areas, benches, and decorative entry trellises. Within the utility corridor a 20-foot wide trail will be constructed per Figure CS-3 — Hiking and Riding Trails Master Plan — of the General Plan. This trail will be a part of the Community Trail network. The alignment of this trail will extend from Arrow Route to Foothill Boulevard. Per the General Plan, Arrow Route will be the south terminus of the trail, i.e. the trail will not continue further south. At Foothill Boulevard the trail will eventually connect with the trail segment that will be constructed by others in conjunction with future development on the other side of that street. As the trail will be located within the easements of both SCE and SCGC, trail-related improvements will be restricted based on meetings with representatives of both utilities. Therefore, the installation of fences, light standards, landscaping, etc. that are typically required for Community Trails may be very limited or not present altogether along this segment of the Community Trail system. In conjunction with the tentative tract map, the applicant proposes to construct a single-family residence on each lot for a total of 291 single-family residences. Seventy-three (73) of the houses will be one-story, while the houses on the remainder of the lots will be two-story. This equates to 25 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 project 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. The houses on all corner lots will be single-story as required per Section 5.42.608 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The applicant proposes nine (9) types of architectural themes (elevations) — Santa Barbara Revival, Bungalow, Ranch, Country, Monterey, Spanish, Prairie, European, and Italian. Each house will ITEM E,F42 DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT18870 AND DRC2012-01202 April 30, 2013 Page 3 incorporate a variety of materials to varying degrees depending on the theme. Each house will have an articulated footprint/floor plan and profile. The applicant proposes thirteen (13) distinct footprints — Plans 55 (1 to 4), 65 (1 to 4), and 70 (1 to 5) — and reverse footprints of each for a total of twenty-six (26) footprints. Plans 55-1, 65-1, 70-1, and 70-2 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. Staff Comments: 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. All themes (all plans) — Where a decorative stone veneer wainscot and trimcap is provided at the front elevation, add a decorative stone veneer wainscot and trimcap to the entire width of the rear elevation to match it. Alternate solutions such as adding stone veneer to an entire section of wall plane may be considered. Note: 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 comer of each house, where the side elevation intersects with the front elevation, the veneer shall wrap around the comer and terminate at the return wall. 2. All themes (all plans) — On plans that have a decorative wood siding at the front elevation, where the side elevation intersects with the front elevation, the siding shall wrap around the comer and terminate at the return wall. 3. All themes (all plans) — Provide additional shutters on the windows on both floors on all elevations (it is not necessary to provide them on all windows). Note: Some plans, for example Plans 65 and 70, already have shutters on all windows. On the plans where shutters have already been provided, it is not necessary to add more. 4. All themes (all two-story plans) — Add corbels beneath the areas of the second floor that project beyond the primary wall plane. Note: Some plans, for example Plans 65 and 70, already have corbels or have a clearly defined trim at the bottom of the projection. On the plans where corbels or trim has already been provided, it is not necessary to add anything. 5. All themes (all plans) —Add decorative wrought iron metalwork or pot shelves at the windows (it is not necessary to provide them at all windows). Note: Some plans, for example Plans 7042, -3.3, -3.4, and-4.2, already have these features. On the plans where these features have already been provided, it may not be necessary to add more. 6. Bungalow, Ranch, and Country (all plans) — Increase the height of the decorative stone veneer wainscot and trimcap that is proposed at the garages to a line that is 6 feet above the finished surface. ITEM E,F43 DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT18870 AND DRC2012-01202 April 30, 2013 Page 4 7. Bungalow (all Plans) — Add/increase the number of rafter tails at the eaves of the gabled roofs on all elevations. 8. Ranch (all Plans) — Increase the application of the board and batten siding so that it covers more of the primary wall plane beneath the gabled roofs on at the rear elevation of the one-story plan and both the left and right elevations of the two-story plans so that the area of this wall plane that is only finished with stucco is reduced. 9. Bungalow (all Plans except Plan 70-1.3) — Increase the application of the wood shingle siding so that it covers more of the primary wall plane beneath the gabled roofs on at the rear elevation of the one-story plan and both the left and right elevations of the two-story plans so that the area of this wall plane that is only finished with stucco is reduced. 10. Prairie (Plan 65-1.3) — Add more rectangular insets beneath the hip roof at the rear elevation so that their number is proportional to the area where they are located. 11. Santa Barbara Revival (all plans) — Where shutters have been provided, the general shape of the shutter shall match the general shape/outline of the window area they would enclose, e.g. arched window openings should have arched shutters. 12. Bungalow (all plans) — Continue the wood siding that has been applied to the front elevation around to the right side elevation. The wood siding shall terminate directly above the where the stone veneer terminates. Note: Both the stone veneer and the siding wrap shall terminate at the return wall. 13. Bungalow (Plan 55-4.3) — The design of the columns/bases that support the porch cover shall match the design of the same feature in, for example, Plans 55-2.3 and 70-3.3. 14. Country (Plan 55-2.4) — The design of the columns/bases that support the porch cover shall match the design of the same feature in, for example, Plans 55-4.4 and 70-2.4. 15. Italian (all Plans) — The belt-line at the front elevation and part of the left elevation shall be continued along all elevations. 16. Italian (Plan 65.4.5) —The sets of square corbel pairs at the front elevation beneath the area of the second floor that projects beyond the primary wall plane shall be repeated on the similar projections located at the rear and left elevations. 17. European (Plan 65-1.4) — The application and design of the decorative stone veneer projection beneath the front window shall be duplicated on the rear elevation. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major 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. ITEM E,F44 DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT18870 AND DRC2012-01202 April 30, 2013 Page 5 2. All rock veneer shall be real river rock and not synthetic. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be revised and resubmitted for follow-up review by the Committee prior to forwarding it to the Planning Commission for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: Staff presented a brief overview of the project and summarized the major/secondary issues relating to the architecture and site development. Staff noted that the content and direction of the report prepared for this meeting took into consideration the feedback that was received by staff during the Planning Commission's Design Workshop held on April 10, 2013. The Committee then reviewed some of the proposed elevations of various models and indicated where the applicant needed to provide more enhancements to the architecture (using the Comments Report as a template for discussion). They were in agreement that the front elevations needed only limited enhancements (or none at all). They also agreed with the staff observation that extensive architectural embellishment on the lower part of the side elevations, where the building setbacks from the side property line could be as low as 5 feet, limited the "value" of such enhancements as they would have limited visibility to the public or the homeowner. Instead, the enhancements that would normally be provided along the lower part of the side elevations should be applied to the rear elevations. They noted that the upper part of the side elevations should still have enhancements. The Committee considered the rear elevations, as proposed, to be generally unacceptable. More specifically, they pointed out to the applicant that the architectural theme that the front of the house implied needed to be continued on the rear elevation. As proposed, the features, trim, and/or details that were typical of a particular theme were not present on the rear elevations. In the absence of such enhancements, the rear elevations of each house were practically the same, and the theme that the architects were attempting to convey was not apparent. The applicant's architects, using tissue paper, illustrated several solutions. Some of the solutions presented by the architects were consistent with staffs recommendations. When they were not, the alternative achieved similar objectives. The Committee responded favorably with the understanding that each model and elevation would have a unique solution. For example, when a wainscot of stone veneer would be impractical along the full horizontal width of the rear elevation, the architects proposed veneers that were applied vertically to support a pop-out feature directly above it. Similarly, altering the design of the trim around some windows would provide the illusion of a window inset without significant restructuring of the window area. Other solutions not previously suggested by staff but forwarded by the applicant included revisions to the roof design to interrupt relatively large wall planes. The applicant and his architects accepted that more details such as shutters, pot shelves, etc. needed to be provided and would incorporate them accordingly. Because of the number of models and corresponding elevations that needed to be revised, all parties recognized that the design issues would not be fully resolved at this meeting and that additional effort and time would be necessary. The Committee directed the applicant to consult with staff on the revisions. When the revised proposal is ready, the applicant shall resubmit it to the Committee for review and action at a later, regularly scheduled meeting.

EXHIBIT I ITEM E,F46 TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2012-01202— LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA May 8, 2013 Page 2 Design Parameters: The applicant proposes to construct a north-south segment of the Community Trail within the aforementioned utility corridor per Figure CS-3 — Hiking and Riding Trails Master Plan—of the General Plan in conjunction with subdivision of the property into 291 numbered lots for a private (gated) single-family residential development. There will be an additional eleven (11) lettered lots for an existing, unrelated Southern Gas Company facility(Lot A)and common areas as follows: open space along the Arrow Route street frontage(Lots B—D); two private parks (Lots E and F); pedestrian access pathways (Lots G and H), and private streets (Lot 1). This Community Trail segment will extend the full distance between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route. It will be located generally adjacent,and parallel,to the eastern limit of the utility corridor and the rear property lines of proposed Lots 1 —21, 138, 137, and 141 -146. The total length of the trail will be about 2,700 feet. Per the General Plan, Arrow Route will be the south terminus of the trail, i.e.,the trail will not continue further south. At Foothill Boulevard the trail will eventually connect with the trail segment that will be constructed by others in conjunction with future development on the other side of that street. Two(2)pedestrian connections,with decorative features such as overhead trellises, will link the subdivision to the Community Trail. These connections are located between Lots 20 and 21, and Lots 1 and 137 (identified as Lots G and H, respectively). Based on separate meetings with representatives of SCE and SCGC, as the trail will be located within the overlapping easements of both utilities where infrastructure is present(SCE transmission towers and lines above-ground and a SCGC pipeline below.ground), the design of the trail will be subject to their authority and restrictions. Trail-related improvements such as fences, light standards, landscaping, etc. that are typically required for Community Trails may be very limited or not present altogether along this segment of the Community Trail system. For example, trees that could encroach into the clear area required around SCE's power lines while the roots of the trees could damage SCGC's pipeline. Therefore, trees are not permitted within the corridor. Similarly, fences would affect both utilities'maintenance vehicle access to their respective infrastructure and are,therefore, prohibited. Potential expansion of either company's infrastructure could be affected by semi-permanent improvements such as benches and light poles. Thus,these improvements are also not permitted. Both SCE and SCGC will require that the applicant submit plans for their respective review and approval. Staff anticipates that the trail most likely will be limited to a pathway composed of decomposed granite, a concrete mow strip to define its edges, and ground cover. Staff proposes planting trees within the rear yard area of Lots 1 —21, 138, 137,and 141 -146. This would offset the lack of trees within the trail and would be located completely outside of the limits of the utility corridor. Trees would be planted at a rate of two (2) trees per yard for a total of sixty-two (62) trees. Staff Recommendation: Staff requests that the Trails Advisory Committee members review the proposed Tentative Tract Map and recommend approval to the Planning Commission with the following conditions: 1. The Community Trail and entry points at Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard shall be designed and constructed per the City Standard for Community Trails to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and Planning Manager. The design of the trail and associated improvements shall be coordinated with, and are subject to the approval of, Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas Company.

A copy of any comments and/or corrections in response to plans submitted to SCE and SCGC shall be provided to the City for determination of alternate solutions, if necessary,and for the file record. 3. Install two (2) trees within the rear yard area of Lots 1 — 21, 138, 137, and 141 — 146. The species and minimum box size of these trees shall match the tree requirements described in the City Standard applicable to Community Trails as established by the Engineering Department. 4. Landscaping planted along the trail shall be located on the east side of the trail pathway, between the pathway and the perimeter wall of the subdivision. 5. A copy of the final design of the Community Trail shall be provided to the Planning Department for the file record.

Rough grading permit, wall permits(garden and retaining walls), house building permits, precise grade permits.Additional approvals and licenses needed from: Cucamonga Valley Water District(water improvements), 1603 permit may be needed for the portion of the site that was previously part of the Etiwanda channel. 404 permit may be required for water quality. Grading and construction permits may be needed from SCE and So Cal Gas for the completion of the trail. 91 Describe the physical setting of the site as it exists before the project including information on topography,soil stability, plants and animals,mature trees,trails and roads,drainage courses,and scenic aspects. Describe any existing structures on site(including age and condition)and the use of the structures. Attach photographs of significant features described. In addition,cite all sources of information(i.e.,geological and/orhydrologic studies,biotic and archeological surveys,traffic studies): The site is currently vacant and covered only with scattered weed growth and some debris. Half of the site is Flat,with grade elevations similar to all of the surrounding areas. The site is bisected by the Etiwanda Channel,which has been diverted to the Etiwanda San Sevaine Channel. Considerable erosion has occured within the former Etiwanda Channel, where the grades are as much as 15 feet below the surrounding grade. From a geologic standpoint, the site is underlain by very young alluvial fan deposits in the central and eastern portion of the site. No known active faults are crossing the site and it is not within an Alquist-Priolo Fault zone. Within the utility corridor, there are a few mature trees,with an occupied vagrant camp within one of the trees. The Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, completed by GeoSoils, Inc., dated June 13,2012, is attached. 10 Describe the known cultural and/or historical aspects of the site. Cite all sources of information(books,published reports and oral history): Per Geosoils Phase 1 report, portions of the site have been utilized for agricultural uses, of no historical significance. (:\PLANNING\FINAL\FORMS\COUNTER\Initial Study Partl.doc Page 3 of 10 ITEM E.F60 11, Describe any noise sources and their levels that now affect the site(aircraft,roadway noise,etc.)and how they will affect proposed uses: Commercial vehicles travel along Arrow frequently,to and from the nearby businesses. Homeowners living near Arrow can expect to hear the sounds of these vehicles, as well as the noises associated with the production of goods within the nearby businesses. Some noise can also be heard from the adjacent Edison towers. Considerable noise is emitted from the nearby Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on a daily basis. 12. Describe the proposed project in detail. This should provide an adequate description of the site informs of ultimate use that will result from the proposed project. Indicate if there are proposed phases for development, the extent of development to occur with each phase, and the anticipated completion of each increment. Attach additional sheet(s)if necessary: The 65 buildable acres will be developed into a private, gated community with 291 single-family detached homes, with 2 private mini-parks and 2 landscaped paseos to connect the community to the community trail that will conned Foothill to Arrow through the 15-acre utility corridor. The trail will be constructed with a decomposed granite surface. The community will be named "Cornerstone", and will have 3 separate product lines within it,with a total of 13 different floorplans.All 3 of the communities will be be represented in one shared model complex in a cul-de-sac at the south end of the community. All 3 product lines will be built simultaneously, in phases of 8 homes per phase(see attached tentative phasing map). All development improvements will be completed in one phase. 13 Describe the surrounding properties, including information on plants and animals and any cultural, historical, or scenic aspects. Indicate the type of land use(residential,commercial,etc.),intensity of land use(one-family,apartment houses, shops, department stores,etc.)and scale of development(height, frontage,setback, rear yard, etc.): On the west side of the property is the SCE utility corridor with 2 large transmission towers. Within the area are 2 large high-pressure So Cal Gas pipelines. West of the corridor is an existing apartment complex. To the north of the community is the existing Northtown apartment complex. East of our community is the Etiwanda San Sevaine Channel and single family detached homes that are within the City of Fontana. South of the community are existing homes and commercial businesses. 14. Will the proposed project change the pattern, scale,or character of the surrounding general area of the project? Our proposed community conforms to the standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay). This community is different from the surrounding areas, but it will significantly improve the look and feel of the area. (:\PLANNING\FINAL\FORMS\COUNTER\Initial Study Partl.doc Page 4 of 10 ITEM E,F61 15 Indicate the type of short-term and long-term noise to be generated,including source and amount. How will these noise levels affect adjacent properties and on-site uses? What methods of soundproofing are proposed? During land development,the grading operations will generate noise, but the noise impact is not significantly higher than the daily commercial vehicle noise in the area. During construction of the homes, impact noises such as hammering and vehicle noises will be heard, but construction activities will take place only during acceptable hours of the day. '16, Indicate proposed removals and7orreplacements of mature or scenic trees: There are very few trees on site, and none are of a protected species. They will be removed and grinded into a mulch to be used elsewhere. 17, Indicate any bodies of water(including domestic water supplies)into which the site drains: The Etiwanda Channel was cut off my the development to the north. Drainage associated with this community will join the Etiwanda Channel to the south, and eventually be diverted to the Etiwanda San Sevaine Channel. 18 Indicate expected amount of water usage.

Project File: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18870 2. Related Files: Development Review DRC2012-01202 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2013- 00483 3. Description of Project: A proposal to subdivide a vacant parcel of about 3,047,614 square feet (79.67-acres) into 291 lots and eleven (11) lettered lots in the Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Speck Plan (South Overlay), located about 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route; APN: 0229-041-09. 4. Project Sponsor's Name and Address: Ryan Combe Lennar Homes of California -Inland/LA Division 980 Montecito Dr., Suite#302 Corona, CA 92879 5. General Plan Designation: Low Medium Residential 6. Zoning: Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay) 7. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project site is an irregularly shaped vacant parcel with an overall area of about 3.5 million square feet (80.8 acres). The site is approximately 1,900 feet deep (north to south); because of its irregular shape, it is approximately 1,300 feet wide (east to west) at the north property line and approximately 2,100 feet wide at the south property line. There is a "dog leg" extension that is approximately 232 feet in width and 688 feet in length at the northwest corner of the property that extends to Foothill Boulevard. The project site was previously used by Ameron, a concrete pipe manufacturer located nearby at the southwest corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Arrow Route, for outdoor storage (of, for example, finished pipe segments). To the west of the project site are the Victoria Woods apartment complex and a single-family residential subdivision. To the north is the San Sevaine Villas apartment complex. To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, non-conforming single- family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. Principal street frontage will be along Arrow Route with a length of approximately 2,100 feet. Secondary street frontage will be along Foothill Boulevard with a length of approximately 232 feet (at the north end of the aforementioned "dog leg"). A corridor comprised of easements in favor of Southern California Edison (SCE)and Southern California Gas Company(SCGC), and associated improvements such as transmission lines are located parallel to the west property line of the project site. This corridor is approximately 22 acres in area. The"dog leg" portion of the property is entirely within this corridor. Because of the presence of this utility corridor, the actual area of the project site that is available for development is approximately 64 acres. The Etiwanda/San Sevaine flood control channel is located parallel to the east property line of the project site. The zoning of the majority of the site is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); the portion of the site that is within the utility corridor described above is zoned Open Space (OS) District. The zoning of the properties to the west beyond the utility corridor are Low (L), Low Medium (LM), and Medium (M) Residential Districts, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay). The zoning of the property to the north is Medium (M) Residential District, Foothill -�.�_ ITEM E,F73 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 2 Boulevard Overlay Zoning District (Subarea 4). The zoning of the properties to the south is General Industrial (GI) District. The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1,180 feet and 1,155 feet, respectively. 8.

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 no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within a view corridor according to General Plan Figure LU-6. I 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 project site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located about 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route. The site is characterized by residential development to the north and west. To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, non-conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. A utility corridor with an area of about 22 acres traverses the west side of the project site. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project. The property will be developed with single-family residences similar to those in the surrounding area and in the general community. The architecture of the homes will be required to be consistent with the design standards and policies established by the Planning Commission and City Council. They will also be required to comply with technical requirements including maximum building height, minimum setbacks, and maximum lot coverage as described in the Etiwanda Speck Plan (South Overlay) to ensure that the site is not overbuilt. The review of the homes is pending. Approval by the Design Review Committee and Planning Commission will be required prior to construction of the homes. City standards require the applicant 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) Homes are not part of this application. However, when the project site is developed with houses, the project will increase the number of street lights and residential lighting used in the immediate vicinity. The design and placement of street lights will be required to comply with City standards including requirements for shielding, diffusing, or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Residential lighting is generally not a source of substantial glare as such lighting is limited to within the confines of the home.

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 changes in the existing environment, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) 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 site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland;or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located about 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route. The site is characterized by residential development to the north and west. To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, nonconforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. A utility corridor with an area of about 22 acres traverses the west side of the project site. 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 farmland 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.

To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, non- conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. The nearest agricultural use is a nursery about 1.25 miles to the west 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? C) 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. Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F78 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 7 Lean Than Sgnlf.nt Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: s9 fiiani MW OO, Signan NC Im ed In or W Im ad Im eq 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 (PM15 and PM2.5) are considered regional pollutants while the others have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (1-12S), 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 (PM10), 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 Urban Crossroads on March 7, 2013 that utilizes the . CaIEEMod methodology and CEQA Air Quality Handbook, April 1993 to evaluate short- term construction emissions and short-term construction emissions for localized significant Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F79 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 8 Less man Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: PptBn11elly WM '"a" PP 9 SigNflcant WpUon SgNfiunt No Im act Inc mated Impact Impad thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Green House Gas Emissions.

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 are generally 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 operation 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. Architectural Coatings Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCs and are part of the 03 precursors. The project includes the construction of 291 single-family residences. Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed buildings will result in approximately 41.50 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. 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.

In addition, there has been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the potential risk for naturally occurring asbestors (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 mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition so as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submit construction plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD)as well as City Planning Staff. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.

Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. • Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)) daily to reduce PM,g emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) 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. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans Include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. 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 (NO2), Ozone (03), and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM,o) 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 (Operational)Impacts Long Term Project Operational Emissions 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 residential structures and uses in the project area; therefore, the proposed project would result in net increases in both stationary and mobile source emissions. The stationary source emissions would come from additional natural gas consumption for residential heating and cooking, and electricity for interior/exterior residential lighting and streetlights, traffic signals, and decorative/security lights.

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 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 immediately adjacent to residences. 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. 6) 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. Typical operation odors from residential development, such as the proposed project, are generally associated with activities such as cooking and gardening. Generally, these odors are not objectionable. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

Comments: a) The project site is located in an area developed with a variety of residential and industrial uses. Part of the site has been previously disrupted by the removal of low lying vegetation in order to allow for the storage of concrete pipe by Ameron, Inc. (the previous property owner). The perimeter of the site has been disrupted for the construction of infrastructure and development on adjacent properties. The remainder of the site, including the area within the utility corridor, is relatively undisturbed. According to a Biological Resources Assessment prepared by M.J. Klinefelter on June 2013, "the project site contains habitat that is suitable to support a number of special status plant and animal species. Since habitat is present on-site that is suitable to support special status plant species, a focused survey employing California Department Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) protocol was conducted on June 5, 2013 in order to document the presence or absence of those species at the project site. Additionally, habitat is present on-site that is suitable to support special status wildlife species. A focused small mammal survey, employing USFWS survey protocol, was conducted by SJM Biological Consultants, Inc. between June 1, and June 5, 2013 in order to document the presence or absence of special status small mammal species at the project site."

Special status species are those species that have been given special recognition by federal, state, and/or local conservation agencies and organizations due to limited, declining, or threatened population sizes. • Special Status Plants: Plummer's mariposa lily, Parry's spineflower, paniculate tarplant, slender-horned spineflower, Southern California black walnut, Robinson's pepper-grass, and White rabbit-tobacco • Sensitive Natural Communities: Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub • Special Status Wildlife: burrowing owl, western mastiff bat, western yellow bat, San Diego black-tailed jackrabbit, San Diego desert woodrat, Los Angeles pocket mouse, San Bernardino kangaroo rat, northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, and coast horned lizard A Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub (RAFSS) plant community covers approximately 4.8 acres of the project site. The remainder of the site contains communities of: Riversidean sage scrub (RSS) (4.06 acres), Disturbed Riversidean sage scrub (D-RSS) (4.41 acres), and non-native vegetation (52.93 acres). As RAFSS is recognized as a sensitive biological resource, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented: 1) The applicant shall purchase at a 1:1 ratio 4.8 acres of Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub (RAFSS) habitat designated for conservation or pay in-lieu fees. Evidence of applicable mitigation agreements approved by CDFW shall be submitted to the City prior to issuance of grading permits. Three special status plant species were detected at the Site during the focused survey — paniculate tarplant, Robinson's pepper-grass, and Southern California black walnut. There are nine (9) Southern California black walnut trees within the project site that will be removed as a result of proposed project. As all mature trees are recognized by the City as a sensitive biological resource, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented: 2) The trees that are removed shall be replaced on a one-to-one basis with a matching species of a minimum 15-gallon size. Mitigations will not be required for the Robinson's pepper-grass as the loss of habitat on- site for this species represents only a small portion of its range in California and elsewhere. Mitigations will not be required for the paniculate tarplant as no loss of habitat on-site is expected as it is located in the part of the project site that will not be developed. Burrowing owls were detected within the project site. No other Special Status Wildlife was detected within the project site. As burrowing owl is recognized as a sensitive biological resource, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented: 3) Avoidance during the breeding season - Breeding season avoidance measures, including but not limited to those as follows shall be implemented. A pre-construction survey for resident burrowing owls shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 30 days prior to construction activities. If ground- disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre-construction survey, the site will be resurveyed for owls. Pre-construction Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E,F87 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 16 Las. w sgnifir Leas Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially am Than Significant wbgaum Significant No Im ad 1=rWated Im ep I act survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and Non- breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre-construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre-construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation would be required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre-construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the most current CDFW protocols and would minimally include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. Burrow exclusion and/or closure during the non-breedino season - During the non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31), if burrows occupied by migratory or non-migratory resident burrowing owls are detected during a pre-construction survey, then burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines. Nesting Birds - If vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or any other construction related activity Is to occur during the avian nesting season (February 1 through August 31), a preconstiuction nesting survey shall be conducted prior to initiation of construction. If nests are discovered, they should be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and left the nest, then construction in the area could resume. K initial ground disturbing activities or site clearing is proposed to occur outside of the nesting season (September 1 through January 31), then a preconstruction survey would not be required and construction could commence unimpeded. 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) According to the Jurisdictional Delineation prepared by M.J. Klinefelter on June 10, 2013, "a delineation of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdictional waters was conducted [on May 17, 2013]. The Site contains a relic portion of East Etiwanda Creek. However, all upstream and off-site hydrology has been diverted away from the relic channel and it no longer receives water flow. The implementation of the San Sevaine Flood Control Project by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation and San Bernardino County Flood Control District has diverted all flow from the upstream watershed into the Etiwanda/San Sevaine concrete flood control channel. The construction of the San Sevaine Villas multifamily housing project and the associated stormdrains in late 2009 has diverted all flow from Foothill Boulevard directly into the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Channel. Both the San Sevaine Water project and the San Sevaine Villas project were authorized through previous permitting actions by the Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW. The relic channel has effectively been disconnected from its source Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E,F88 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 17 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentiany With Than PP 9 Significant mtigabw Significant W Int as Incte.

This report presents MJK's best effort at determining the jurisdictional status using the most up-to-date regulations and written policy and guidance from the regulatory agencies; however, only the regulatory agencies can make a final determination of their respective jurisdictional boundaries." The following mitigation measure shall be implemented: 4) Prior to approval by the City of any grading and/or construction permits, the applicant shall consult with the Army Corp of Engineers (Corps) to obtain an approved Jurisdictional Determination and, if necessary, acquire the applicable permits from the Corps and any applicable authorization(s) from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and/or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Copies of any correspondence and/or permits received shall be submitted to the City for review and record. 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 tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence. Therefore no adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There are heritage trees, nine(9)Southern California black walnut trees, within the project site. These trees will be removed to allow grading, the construction of homes, and/or the construction of streets. Therefore, the proposed project is in conflict with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. The mitigation measure as indicated in Section 4, Biological Resources, a.2 shall reduce the impact to less-than-significant. f) 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 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.

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. • Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or focal point. • Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of the area. • Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2 Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a park or green space or paying a in-kind mitigation fee. • Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy, of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. 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 Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F90 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 19 Less Than &gnMcant Lev Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Po1an�"Y Wan Then PP 9 Significant ASGgefion $gnificant No IMP-0 IncoWated Im as Impact preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures: • Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities. • Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor of the find. • Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino County Museum). • Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. d) The project site is located in an area developed with a variety of residential and industrial uses. Part of the site has been previously disrupted by the removal of low lying'vegetation in order to allow for the storage of concrete pipe by Ameron, Inc. (the previous property owner). The perimeter of the site has been disrupted for the construction of infrastructure. The remainder of the site, including the area within the utility corridor, is relatively undisturbed. 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 Red Hill Fault, passes within 3 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 4.25 miles north of the site. These faults are both capable of producing My, 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to M,„. 7.5 earthquakes is 14 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to M,y 8.2 earthquakes, is 16 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 PMrg 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 PMfig emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off- site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.

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 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 Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand (SoC) and Tujunga Gravelly Loamy Sand (TvC) 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 Soboba Gravelly Loamy Sand (SoC) and Tujunga Gravelly Loamy Sand (TvC) Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. These soils are typically stable. 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], hydrofluorocarbons [HFCs], perfluorocarbons [PFCs], and sulfur hexafluoride [SF6].

Im act 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(°F)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 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 Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F94 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 23 Lass Than SignificantLess Issues and Supporting Information S : Potenfially witty man PP g Sources: Somficant w0gation Significant No Im ad Inco mated Im act Im ad 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 Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads on March 7, 2013 the project would result in the following emissions of carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CHa], nitrous oxide [N20], hydrofluorocarbons [HFCs], perfluorocarbons [PFCs], and sulfur hexafluoride [SFB]) and would not result in the other GHG's. As seen in the tables below the proposed project would result in a total of 73.53 MTCO2eq/yr from construction activities; 1,833.08 MTCO2eq/yr for operational activities; and 4,910.33 MTCO2eq/yr for mobile sources. Total project related emission would result in 6,816.94 MTCO2eq/yr (construction, operational, and mobile combined). Short Term (Construction) GHG Emissions - 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, Cha, and N20. CHa is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Construction greenhouse gas emissions are 2,205.9 MTCO2eq/yr (73.53 MTCO2eq/yr amortized over 30 years). Although the emissions are less than the de facto SCAQMD threshold of 3,000 MT/year, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to further reduce impacts to less- than-significant levels: 1) The projectmust comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-tens air pollutant emission in compliance with SCAQMD 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 contractor shall select construction equipment based on low-emission factors and high energy efficiency and submit a statement on 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 the construction crew.

CEOA 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. Operational greenhouse gas emissions are: Source Emissions MTCO e Area 212.41 Energy 1,337.55 Mobile 4,910.33 Water Usage 127.94 Waste 155.18 Subtotal—Operations 6,743.41 Subtotal—Construction 73.53 amortized over 30 ears Total (Operations +Construction 6,816.94 Source: Greenhouse Gas Impact Analysis-(Table 3-1), Urban Crossroads,March 2013 The project is the subdivision of the project site into 291 lots and eleven (11) lettered lots for private open space and private streets, and the construction of 291 single-family residences (and associated improvements) 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 fiber optic communications infrastructure, a Community Trail and associated pedestrian connections, sidewalks, and water efficient landscaping. The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the CARB Scoping Plan mandated under AB 32. The applicant of the proposed project will be required to provide fiber optic communications infrastructure, a Community Trail and associated pedestrian connections, 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 SCAOMD'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 Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F96 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 25 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: significant ,�IM S,Than Icant No m as Inco ated Im W Invao efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) materials. 2) Design all buildings to exceed California Building Code Title 24 energy standard including but not limited to any combination of: • Increased insulation, • Limit air leakage through the structure, • Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances, • Landscape and develope site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and landscaping, • Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems, • Install light colored "cool" roofs and cool pavements, • Install solar or light emitting diodes(LED's)for outdoor lighting. 3) Prepare a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the project and include the following; • Install water efficient landscapes and irrigation systems and devices in compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. • Use reclaimed water for landscaping within the project if available and/or Install the infrastructure to deliver and use reclaimed water. • Design building to be water efficient by installing water efficient fixtures and appliances including low flow faucets, dual flush toilets and waterless urinals/water heaters. • Design irrigation to control runoff and to remove water to non-vegetated surfaces. 4) Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste. Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. Educate employees about reducing waste and about recycling. 5) To reduce energy consumption, the Project shall install Energy Star-rated appliances. The proposed project will result in 6,816.94 MTCOZeq/yr (total project emissions) of operational related emission without reduction from project design features. Based on the reduction measures proposed for the project and mitigation measures, the project would reduce its GHG emission below the "business as usual" scenario by 19.19%.

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 proposed project includes fiber optic communications infrastructure, a Community Trail and associated pedestrian connections, sidewalks, and water efficient landscaping 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. 8. HAZARDS AND WASTE MATERIALS.

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-sign cant. No adverse impacts are expected. b) The proposed project does not include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels. 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 or volatile fuels will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated. C) There are no schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The nearest school to the project site, Perdew Elementary School, is about 0.50-mile to the north at 13051 Miller Avenue. No impacts are anticipated.

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 4 miles northeast of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impacts are anticipated. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 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. No impact is anticipated. 9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY.

( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) 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 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) Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F101 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 30 Leas Tran Significant Lma Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potenuatly wlm Than Significant Mitlga5on Slgnifi "' No ' Im ad Inc etetl Im aq Im ect for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP, Plan prepared by Dan Guerra 8 Associates on February 22, 2013 which identifies BMPs to minimize the amount of pollutants, 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, oillgrit 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 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 off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. 3) During construction, 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 Dan Guerra & Associates on February 22, 2013 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 Rev 2-28-13 ITEM E.E102 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 31 Leas Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Polenually With, Than Significant M09abon Significant W Impact Inco ataA Im an Im as 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 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.

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. 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/significant redevelopment; therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F103 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 32 Less Than Significant less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potanhally wan Than PP g Significant MUgation Significant No Im ad Inco tae Im ad Impact 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 located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. All new construction of residential units are required to comply with the City's Floodplain Management Regulation which require the implementation of various flood hazard reduction measures such as construction of flood protection facilities. Additionally, the project will be required to construct required storm drain facilities or payment of fees for storm drain system improvements. No adverse impacts are expected. h) The project site is located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. All new construction is required to comply with the Citys Floodplain Management Regulation which requires the implementation of various flood hazard reduction measures. Additionally, the project will be required to construct required storm drain facilities or payment of fees for storm drain system improvements. No adverse impacts are expected. 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 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 located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. All new construction is required to comply with the City's Floodplain Management Regulation which would ensure that future development would not impede or redirect floodwaters and would be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of structures within the floodplain. 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.

Comments: a) The project site is located in an area developed with a variety of residential and industrial uses. Part of the site has been previously disrupted by the removal of low lying vegetation in order to allow for the storage of concrete pipe by Ameron, Inc. (the previous property owner). The perimeter of the site has been disrupted for the construction of infrastructure. The remainder of the site, including the area within the utility corridor, is relatively undisturbed. This project will be of similar design and size to surrounding residential development to the northwest and in the general community. The project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is Low Medium (LM) 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. The proposal is for 291 lots which will be developed with single- family residences and eleven (11) lettered lots for private open space and private streets. The development of the site with residences will be consistent with the land use designations as described in the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the General Plan. The dwelling unit density of the subdivision, subdivision layout, and the individual lot sizes are consistent with the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the General Plan. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The project site is located about 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route. The site is characterized by residential development to the north and west. To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, non- conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. A utility corridor with an area of about 22 acres traverses the west side of the project site. Part of the site has been previously disrupted by the removal of low lying vegetation in order to allow for the storage of concrete pipe by Ameron, Inc. (the previous property owner). The perimeter of the site has been disrupted for the construction of infrastructure and development on adjacent properties. The remainder of the site, including the area within the utility corridor, is relatively undisturbed. According to a Biological Resources Assessment prepared by M.J. Klinefelter on June 2013, it was determined that the project is within an area that contains sensitive biological resources — Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub (RAFSS), Southern California black walnut trees, and burrowing owls. The mitigation measures and discussion as indicated in Section 4, Biological Resources, a) 1 —4 shall reduce the impact to less-than-significant.

NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) 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? 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 adjacent to Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard. According to Table 8-1 of the Noise Study prepared by Urban CrossroadS/T$B Planning on March 8, 2013, "the estimated noise levels at the building fagade represent the worst-case exterior noise level impacts from Arrow Route. The on- site traffic noise level impacts indicate that the residential units will experience long-range Post-2030 unmitigated exterior noise levels ranging from 62.9 to 69.6 dBA CNEL. To satisfy the City of Rancho Cucamonga 65 dBA.CNEL exterior noise level standards, the Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E.F106 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 35 Leas Than 9igni= Less Issues and Supporting Information S : Paomialty wo Than PP g maSources: ygnifiwnl Wgabcn Sgnifiwnl No Imp= In ated lm pad Im ad construction of 6.0-foot high noise barriers is required. With the 6.0-foot high noise barrier, the mitigated exterior noise levels will range from 57.0 to 62.6 dBA CNEL. This noise analysis shows that the construction of the 6.0-foot noise barrier with satisfy the City of Rancho Cucamonga 65 dBA CNEL exterior noise level standards. No additional exterior noise mitigation is required." The following mitigation measure will reduce the noise impacts caused by the traffic on the streets to less-than-significant levels: Exterior., 1) For noise attenuation purposes, the applicant shall construct a 6-foot high block wall along the south perimeter of the project site. These walls shall be constructed of masonry block or other material of sufficient weight (3.5 pounds per square foot of face area) and have no decorative cutouts or line- of-sight openings between the project site and adjacent land uses. All gaps (except for weep holes) shall be filled with grout or caulking. These walls shall be fully constructed simultaneously with the development of the site and prior to occupancy of any of the homes on Lots 147-151, 174-183, 186-188, and 193-197. According to Table 8-2 and 8-3 of the Noise Study prepared by Urban Crossroads/T&B Planning on March 8, 2013, "the future first and second floor interior noise levels at the facade are estimated to range from 56.4 to 69.5 dBA CNEL. In order to meet the City of Rancho Cucamonga 45 dBA CNEL interior noise level standard, an interior noise level reduction ranging from 11.8 to 24.5 dBA CNEL is needed. To provide the necessary interior noise level reduction, Tables 8-2 and 8-3 show that lots 147-151, 174-183, 186- 188, and 193-197 adjacent to Arrow Route will require a windows closed condition. A windows closed condition requires a means of means of mechanical ventilation (e.g. air conditioning) and dual-glazed windows with a minimum STC rating of 26." The following mitigation measure will reduce the noise impacts caused by the traffic on the streets to . less-than-significant levels: Interior: 1) Provide standard dual-glazed windows with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 26 or higher and a windows closed condition requiring a means of mechanical ventilation (e.g. air conditioning) for Lots 147-151, 174- 183, 186-188, and 193-197. b) The normal operating uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce ground borne vibrations.There may be short term construction related vibration caused by on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment. The mitigation measures listed under 12.d will reduce the vibration impacts to less-than- significant levels. C) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. According to Section 5.0 of the Noise Study prepared by Urban Crossroads/T&B Planning on March 8, 2013, "based on the traffic noise analysis significance threshold of 3.0 dBA for all project- related traffic noise level increases where the resulting noise levels would be in excess of 65 dBA...no significant off-site traffic noise impacts would be created by the Project." Therefore no adverse impact is expected.

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 6:30 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 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) Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Project Proponent shall submit a construction-related noise control plan to the City for review and approval, which demonstrates that construction or grading noise levels will not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Sections 17.66.050-C & 17.66.050-D.4.a. The Plan shall: depict the location of construction equipment staging areas; require that construction contractors equip construction equipment (fixed or mobile) with property operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturers' standards; require that the construction contractor place stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from noise sensitive receptors nearest the Project site; and describe other noise control measures that will be implemented during Project-related construction activities. The construction supervisor shall ensure compliance with the noise control plan and the City shall conduct periodic Inspection at its discretion. 5) 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: 6) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 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.

Comments: a) JA1IThe project is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the construction of 291 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 significant impacts are anticipated. b) The project site is vacant. Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. , C) The project site is vacant.

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 applicant 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 Garcia Park at 13150 Garcia Drive located approximately 0.25-mile north of 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 applicant to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. 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.

Comments: a) According to the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads on April 8, 2013, "the proposed development is projected to generate a total of approximately 2,770 net trip-ends per day on a typical weekday. The Project is anticipated to generate a total of approximately 218 net AM peak hour trips and 291 net PM peak hour trips." 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 existing street improvements; additional street improvements are included in project design. According to the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads on April 8, 2013, "the addition of Project traffic is not anticipated to cause any study area intersections to operate at an unacceptable Level of Service (LOS)." The applicant will be required to a) provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the existing street frontage of the site per City standards, b) construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Arrow Route and Pecan Avenue, and c) construct the proposed streets within the site according to 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) According to the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads on April 8, 2013, "the proposed development is projected to generate a total of approximately 2,770 net trip-ends per day on a typical weekday. The Project is anticipated to generate a total of approximately 218 net AM peak hour trips and 291 net PM peak hour trips." 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. This applicant 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 existing street improvements; additional street improvements are included in project design. According to the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads on April 8, 2013, "the addition of Project traffic is not anticipated to cause any study area intersections to operate at an unacceptable Level of Service (LOS)."

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 about 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route. The site is characterized by residential development to the north and west. To the east are single-family residences, a mobile home park, and some minor industrial uses within the unincorporated San Bernardino County. To the south are legal, non- conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels. A utility corridor with an area of about 22 acres traverses the west side of the project site. Part of the site has been previously disrupted by the removal of low lying vegetation in order to allow for the storage of concrete pipe by Ameron, Inc. (the previous property owner). The perimeter of the site has been disrupted for the construction of infrastructure and development on adjacent properties. The remainder of the site, including the area within the utility corridor, is relatively undisturbed. According to a Biological Resources Assessment prepared by M.J. Klinefelter on June 2013, it was determined that the project is within an area that contains sensitive biological resources — Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub (RAFSS), Southern California black walnut trees, and burrowing owls. The mitigation measures as indicated in Section 4, .Biological Resources, a) 1 —4 shall reduce the impact to less-than-significant. According to the Jurisdictional Delineation prepared by M.J. Klinefelter on June 10, 2013, "a delineation of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdictional waters was conducted [on May 17, 20131. The Site contains a relic portion of East Etiwanda Creek. However, all upstream and off-site hydrology has been diverted away from the relic channel and it no longer receives water flow. The implementation of the San Sevaine Flood Control Project by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation and San Bernardino County Flood Control District has diverted all flow from the upstream watershed into the Etiwanda/San Sevaine concrete flood control channel. The construction of the San Sevaine Villas multifamily housing project and the associated Rev 2-26-13 ITEM E,F115 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870 Page 44 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: tmfliWith Si Than gtianMihon gn,ficnt No impact Inco mated Im ad Impact stormdrains in late 2009 has diverted all flow from Foothill Boulevard directly into the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Channel. Both the San Sevaine Water project and the San Sevaine Villas project were authorized through previous permitting actions by the Corps, RWQCB, and CDFW. The relic channel has effectively been disconnected from its source of surface and subsurface hydrology. Based on the lack of hydrology, the onsite relic portion of Etiwanda Creek no longer meets the jurisdictional criteria of the Corps, RWQCB, or CDFW. 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 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 elevated noise levels; the loss of biological resources; and increased greenhouse gases. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels.

A. Recitals. 1. Lennar Homes of California filed an application for the issuance of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18870, 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 10th day of July 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.July 10, 2013,including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a vacant parcel located approximately 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route; and b. The project site is an irregularly shaped vacant parcel with an overall area of approximately 3.5 million square feet(80.8 acres). The site is approximately 1,900 feet deep(north to south); because of its irregular shape, it is approximately 1,300 feet wide (east to west) at the north property line and approximately 2,100 feet wide at the south property line. There is a"dog leg" extension that is approximately 232 feet in width and 688 feet in length at the northwest corner of the property that extends to Foothill Boulevard; and C. To the west of the project site are the Victoria Woods apartment complex and a single-family residential subdivision. To the north is the San Sevaine Villas apartment complex. Immediately to the east, and parallel to the east property line of the project site, is the Etiwanda/San Sevaine flood control channel. To the south are legal, non-conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels; and ITEM E,F137 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-26 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870—LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 2 d. Within the project site is a utility corridor comprised of easements in favor of Southern California Edison (SCE)and Southern California Gas Company(SCGC), and associated improvements such as transmission lines. This corridor is located parallel to the west property line of the project site and is approximately 22 acres in area. The "dog leg" portion of the property is entirely within this corridor; and e. The zoning of the majority of the site is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); the portion of the site that is within the utility corridor is zoned Open Space(OS) District. The zoning of the properties to the west beyond the utility corridor are Low(L), Low Medium(LM),and Medium(M)Residential Districts, Etiwanda Specific Plan(South Overlay). The zoning of the property to the north is Medium (M) Residential District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay Zoning District(Subarea 4). The zoning of the properties to the south is General Industrial (GI) District. The zoning of the flood control channel to the east is Floodway (FW) (unincorporated San Bernardino County); and f. The proposal is to subdivide the property into 291 numbered lots for a private (gated)single-family residential development. There will be an additional eleven(11)lettered lots for an existing, unrelated Southern Gas Company facility(Lot A) and common areas as follows: open space along the Arrow Route street frontage (Lots B, C, and D); two private parks (Lots E and F); pedestrian access pathways (Lots G and H), and private streets (Lot 1); and g. All lots will comply with the development standards applicable to this zoning district as described in Figure 5-2 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Individual lot areas will range between 5,000 square feet to 13,450 square feet, which are in excess of the minimum of 5,000 square feet that is required. The minimum average lot area is 6,738 square feet, which is in excess of the minimum 6,000 that is required; and h. The applicant submitted Development Review DRC2012-01202, a review of the architecture for the proposed single-family homes that are to be constructed with the subject tentative tract map. As the Design Review Committee did not accept the architecture of the homes as proposed and directed the applicant to revise the proposal, the Planning Commission public hearing for the development review application will occur separately at a later, regularly scheduled date; and i. This application is in conjunction with Tree Removal Permit DRC2013-00483. 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 subdivision 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 subdivide a property with an area of approximately 3.5 million square feet (80.8 acres) into 291 numbered lots and eleven (11) lettered lots for a private (gated) single-family residential development. The underlying General Plan designation is Low Medium (LM) Residential. b. The proposed development,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. 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 ITEM E.F138 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-26 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870— LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 3 of the majority of the site is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); the portion of the site that is within the utility corridor described above is zoned Open Space(OS) District. The zoning of the properties to the west beyond the utility corridor are Low(L), Low Medium (LM), and Medium (M) Residential Districts, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay). The zoning of the property to the north is Medium(M)Residential District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay Zoning District (Subarea 4). C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The proposed development 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. 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 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 Manager 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.

A pre-construction survey for resident burrowing owls shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 30 days prior to construction activities. If ground-disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre-construction survey, the site will be resurveyed for owls. Pre-construction survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D(Breeding and Non-breeding Season Surveys and Reports) of the CDFW Staff Report. Results of the pre-construction survey shall be provided to CDFW and the City. If the pre-construction survey does not identify burrowing owls on the project site, then no further mitigation would be required. If burrowing owls are found to be utilizing the project site during the pre-construction survey, measures shall be developed by the qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW to avoid impacting occupied burrows during the nesting period. These measures shall be based on the ITEM E,F145 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-26 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870— LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 10 most current CDFW protocols and would minimally include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. b) Burrow exclusion and/or closure during the non-breeding season - During the non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31), if burrows occupied by migratory or non-migratory resident burrowing owls are detected during a pre-construction survey, then burrow exclusion and/or closure may be used to exclude owls from those burrows. Burrow exclusion and/or closure should only be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist in coordination with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines. c) Nesting Birds - If vegetation removal, soil disturbance, or any other construction related activity is to occur during the avian nesting season (February 1 through August 31), a preconstruction nesting survey shall be conducted prior to initiation of construction. If nests are discovered, they should be avoided through establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary"no construction"area would have to be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and all nestlings have fledged and left the nest, then construction in the area could resume. If initial ground disturbing activities or site clearing is proposed to occur outside of the nesting season (September 1 through January 31),then a preconstruction survey would not be required and construction could commence unimpeded. 4) Prior to approval by the City of any grading and/or construction permits, the applicant shall consult with the Army Corp of Engineers (Corps)to obtain an approved Jurisdictional Determination and, if necessary, acquire the applicable permits from the Corps and any applicable authorization(s) from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and/or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Copies of any correspondence and/or permits received shall be submitted to the City for review and record. Cultural Resources 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities,to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will: Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its archaeological value. ITEM E,F146 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-26 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18870— LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 11 • Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or focal point. • Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of the area. • Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2 Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, including but not limited to, avoiding archaeological sites, capping or covering sites with soil, planning the site as a park or green space or paying an in-kind mitigation fee. • Prepare a technical resources management report,documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. 2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered before or during grading,the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate,the program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures: • Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities. • Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor of the find. • Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino County Museum). • Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum.

A. Recitals. 1. Lennar Homes of California filed an application for the approval of Tree Removal Permit DRC2013-00483 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tree Removal Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 10th day of July 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 July 10, 2013, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application is related to Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18870 and Development Review DRC2012-01202; and b. The application applies to a vacant parcel located approximately 525 feet east of Etiwanda Avenue at the north side of Arrow Route; and C. The project site is an irregularly-shaped vacant parcel with an overall area of approximately 3.5 million square feet(80.8 acres). The site is approximately 1,900 feet deep(north to south); because of its irregular shape, it is approximately 1,300 feet wide (east to west) at the north property line and approximately 2,100 feet wide at the south property line. There is a"dog leg" extension that is approximately 232 feet in width and 688 feet in length at the northwest corner of the property that extends to Foothill Boulevard; and d. To the west of the project site are the Victoria Woods apartment complex and a single-family residential subdivision; to the north is the San Sevaine Villas apartment complex. Immediately to the east, and parallel to the east property line of the project site, is the Etiwanda/San ITEM E,F166 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-27 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2013-00483— LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 2 Sevaine flood control channel; and to the south are legal, non-conforming single-family residences, industrial uses (principally-outdoor storage), and several vacant parcels; and e. Within the project site is a utility corridor comprised of easements in favor of Southern California Edison (SCE) and Southern California Gas Company(SCGC) and associated improvements such as transmission lines. This corridor is located parallel to the west property line of the project site and is approximately 22 acres in area. The "dog leg" portion of the property is entirely within this corridor; and f. The zoning of the majority of the site is Low Medium (LM) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan (South Overlay); the portion of the site that is within the utility corridor is zoned Open Space(OS) District. The zoning of the properties to the west beyond the utility corridor are Low(L), Low Medium (LM), and Medium(M)Residential Districts, Etiwanda Specific Plan(South Overlay). The zoning of the property to the north is Medium (M) Residential District, Foothill Boulevard Overlay Zoning District(Subarea 4). The zoning of the properties to the south is General Industrial(GI)District. The zoning of the flood control channel to the east is Floodway(FW) (unincorporated San Bernardino County); and g. The applicant proposes to remove nine(9) Southern California black walnut trees. Per the Biological Resources Assessment prepared by M.J. Klinefelter in June 2013, Southern California walnut woodland is a much fragmented, rare, and declining vegetation community. It is primarily threatened by urbanization and grazing, non-native plants. The trees at the site represent an extremely small portion of the Southern California black walnut population within its range in California. Adverse impacts to this species as a result of proposed project implementation would be less-than-significant if replacement trees are planted; and h. The trees are not designated as historically significant; and i. The trees are not specifically noted in the Etiwanda Specific Plan per Figure 5-13; and j. It is necessary to remove the trees in order to grade the site, and construct future single-family residences and associated improvements which will allow economic enjoyment of the property; and k. It is not necessary to remove the trees to construct required improvements within a flood control or utility right-of-way; and I. There are a significant number of mature and newly planted trees within the surrounding residential neighborhoods to the west and north. The removal does not affect the established character of the area and the property values; and m. The trees cannot be preserved by pruning and proper maintenance or relocation rather than removal; and n. The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource of the City. 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: ITEM E,F167 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-27 TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2013-00483— LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 10, 2013 Page 3 a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and b. The proposed project is in accord with the objectives of the Municipal Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and C. The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code; and d. The proposed project, 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. 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 thatthe 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("CEQX)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 Planning Manager 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.

Box 807 RECEIVED - PLANNING Rancho Cucamonga, CA. 91729 RE: CEQA — NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (MND) FOR TENTATIVE TRACT (TT) 18870 IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA To whom it may concern: Thank you for giving the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works the opportunity to comment on the above-referenced project. We received this request on June 20, 2013 and pursuant to our review, the following comments are provided: Environmental Mananement Division (Brandy Wood Ecolonical Resource Specialist (909) 387-7971): We have several concerns regarding the City of Rancho Cucamonga's (City) TT18870 Mitigated Negative Declaration: 1. According to the Biological Resources Assessment (BRA), burrowing owls were observed nesting, foraging and perching within the central portion of the site; specifically an,active nest was detected in the central portion of the site (page 11 of the BRA). Page 17 continues by stating that construction of the project would result in the direct removal of nesting and foraging habitat for a variety of bird species, including burrowing owl. The MND states that there will be direct impacts to the nesting burrowing owl, by removing it, and its foraging habitat will be mitigated. The mitigation is discussed in detail in section 5.2.1 of the document. However, after reading the section, it appears that, except for surveys, no mitigation is offered for impacts to the burrowing owl. One might accept the statement that the project proponent will consult with CDFW using the most current CDFW guidelines; however, since according to the Jurisdictional Delineation there is no CDFW jurisdiction, the project proponent has no requirement to consult, and CDFW has no regulatory authority to insist on BUOW mitigation. Therefore, this CEQA document does not adequately address impacts to burrowing owl, as well as does not identify any suitable mitigation that would support the impacts this project has to this species. 2. The BRA (page 31, Section 5.1.1) states that in order to mitigate the loss of 4.8 acres of Riversidean Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS) habitat at the project site, the applicant shall preserve 4.8 acres of RAFSS habitat designated for conservation or pay in-lieu fees. Board of Supervisors GREGORY C.DEVEREAUX ROBERT A.LOVINGOOD .. ... ......—First District JAMES RAMOS................_...........Third District Chief Executive Officer JANICE RUTHERFORD..............Second GsVict GARY C.OVITT.... ....... ....... Fourth District JOSIE GONZALES... ....................Fifth District L/ City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Dept. Comments—MND for Tentative Tract 18870 July 8, 2013 Page 2 of 3 The evidence of applicable mitigation agreements approved by CDFW shall be submitted to the City prior to issuance of grading permits. Additionally, on Page 33, Section 6, Summary Riparian Habitat and Jurisdictional Areas, it states that: 'The preservation of Riversidian alluvial fan sage scrub habitat designated for conservation, or payment of in- lieu fees, would mitigate the loss of this sensitive natural community. With mitigation, adverse effects to RAFSS would be less than significant." The MND, however, does not reference any mitigation measure for the loss of RAFSS. It is therefore unclear whether or not the loss of RAFSS, is indeed, going to be mitigated for. 3. The pictures included in the BRA show a fairly significant stand of mulefat scrub; however this vegetation is not identified on the vegetation map, nor is it addressed as an impact in the document. Furthermore, on Page 33, Section 6, Summary Riparian Habitat and Jurisdictional Areas states that: "There is no riparian habitat at the Site'. Mulefat scrub is associated with riparian vegetation. Impacts to this vegetation need to be addressed thoroughly; otherwise the CEQA document is incomplete. 4. The BRA, in section 4.5.1.4 and Appendix C, states, in regards to Dodecahema leptoceras (Slender-horned spineflower), "the species was not detected at the Site during focused special plants species survey, although it may be been suppressed by low rainfall conditions." It continues, "based on the negative survey results, no impacts are expected". A focused special plant species survey must follow the 2009 Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities issued by CDFW. While the BRA states that the surveys do follow these guidelines there are several points that were not addressed. At no point does the report indicate whether reference populations for Dodecahema to ensure germination were visited. The assumption that "based on the negative survey results, no impacts are expected" is lacking a full investigation. Rainfall is the primary indicator of germination; in seasons of low rainfall conditions the species will not germinate and cannot be found. 5. Additionally, the BRA contradicts its conclusion regarding Dodecahema leptoceras that, "based on the negative survey results, no impacts are expected", when it also states in section 4.5.1 that, "It should be noted that although the survey provided definitive evidence of species' presence at the Site at the time of the survey, species' absence at the time of survey cannot be interpreted to mean that those species may not be present during different years with higher precipitation." Since the surveys occurred in a year of very low rainfall, we are concerned that the results are not robust. 6. Furthermore, page 20 of the BRA states that Figure 4, in Appendix A, shows the locations of the special status plant species detected during the survey. On Figure 4, Dodecahema leptoceras is mapped along with Lepidium virginicum var. robinsonii and Juglans californica. The document is confusing because the map shows Dodecahema leptoceras but the document says it was absent. Was Dodecahema leptoceras observed within the project site as indicated by Figure 4, or, as stated in the BRA and MND, was it absent? City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Dept. Comments—MND for Tentative Tract 18870 July 8, 2013 Page 3 of 3 Water Resources Division (Mary Lou Mermilliod PWE III 909-387-8213) The proposed Tentative Tract is located between Foothill Boulevard and Arrow Route and abuts the Flood Control District's San Sevaine Channel. Additionally, the site is traversed by the relic streambed of Etiwanda Creek Channel. According to the most recent FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, Panel 8635H, dated August 28, 2008, portions of the site lie within Zones X, X-shaded, AE, and the Regulatory Floodway. We have reviewed the documents and offer these comments: 1. In general, it appears that the MND has identified the major concerns of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (District). However, the District's recommendations are most often made for site specific conditions. Consequently, the recommendations made here are general in nature until such time as more detailed plans become available. 2. We recommend that, at a minimum, FEMA's most current regulations for development in a Special Flood Hazard Area and the FEMA Regulatory Floodway be enforced by the City. 3. We recommend that the City establishes adequate provisions for intercepting and conducting accumulated drainage flow around or through the site in a manner that will not adversely affect adjacent or downstream properties. 4. If encroachment onto District property is anticipated, a permit will be required from the District's Permits/Operations Support Division. Other off-site or on-site improvements may be required which cannot be determined at this time. If you have any questions, please contact the individuals who provided the specific comment, as listed above. kIP, Supervising Planner gement Division ts_MND_CiryofRchoCucamonga_TT18870 r Mike Smith Associate Planner City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 (909)477-2750 ext. 4317 michael.smith@cityofrc.us From: Ryan Combe [mailto:Ryan.Combe@Lennar.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 6:14 PM To: Smith, Michael Subject: Fwd: Cornerstone Architecture FYI - Klimefelter's response.

As such, if the species are detected when construction begins, CDFW does have regulatory authority. Burrowing owl are a mobile species and often times abandon sites. The MND incorporates measures to ensure that burrowing owl or active burrows are not impacted. 2) MND BIO a)1) specifies that 4.8 acres of RAFSS shall be purchased by the applicant to mitigate for the loss of RAFSS. 3) Mulefat was described in the RAFSS habitat and is a component of RAFS5. The Jurisdictional Delineation addresses the changes in hydrology and that there is no longer any hydrologic connection of that portion of Etiwanda Creek on the site. The mulefat found within the RAFSS on the site is a relic of the past hydrologic regime. 4) An effort was made to survey for all potential sensitive plant species and slender-horned spineflower(Dodecahema leptoceras) was not detected during those surveys. Using the best available information, we do not expect impacts to this species. 5) Rainfall for the 2012/2013 season was below average and this fact was cited in the report. Given those conditions, a effort was made to survey for any potential sensitive plant species. slender-horned spineflower (Dodecahema leptoceras) was not detected during those surveys. 6) Figure 4 of the Biological Resources Assessment incorrectly labeled Dodecahema leptoceras on the map. The correct species found within the SCE easement is Dienandra paniculata as described in the BRA. M.J.
