Consideration to approve Regular Meeting Minutes of March 8, 2017 Moved by Munoz, seconded by Wimberly, to approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of March 8, 2017 carried 4-0-1 (Fletcher absent) D. DIRECTOR'S STAFF REPORTS The following items do not legally require any public testimony, although the Chairman may open the meeting for public input. D1. Review of the Sustainable Community Action Plan Presentation by Fabian Villenas, Principal Management Analyst (copy on file). Candyce Burnett, City Planner said this was another partnering opportunity to develop additional planning documents to guide policies and this document will next be incorporated in our next General Plan Update and master circulation plans. She said it is not a project according to CEQA but a guiding policy document. She said it will be helpful when we are reviewing possible environmental impacts of development and how these goals and policies can offset those impacts. She said these plans will be implemented in the near future as goals Page 2 of 9 Item C1-2 MARCH HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA and policies and then later into the goals and policies of the General Plan and then changes to the Development Code. Mr. Vallenas noted that staff will forward the plan to the City Council and is slated for the April 5th meeting date. Chairman Oaxaca asked with respect to emissions monitoring what would 'success' look like in metrics. He also asked if the plan will be revisited by staff to adjust or change in the future. Mr. Villenas said tools have been developed to track GHG reductions and in the next fiscal year they would like to budget money to develop ways to measure other parts of the plan as well. They have not determined what they would measure yet. He said there is community collaboration included and it is the City's desire to lead by example. He said the plan will likely be revisited with the next General Plan update and they will have an internal green team to monitor and update it as well. Commissioner Munoz commented for clarity and noted that many items contained in this plan are already in play in our community but this plan is a holistic manner of approach. Is said it is being done using grant funds at no cost to the City and not a lot of incremental costs. He said many things are already being done in this effort. He said there was a concern expressed about money, but there is none. Mr. Villenas confirmed Commissioner Munoz' statement and said this is form of reinforcement. Some things are new. He noted that although some items are in the plan, we are not necessarily going to do all of them as they have to make financial sense and be feasible. They would be individually evaluated and approved. Commissioner Macias noted that this is a framework for policy more than a plan -this framework will help us implement policy in the General Plan and then used in the Development Code for developments that will adhere to the original goals. There are a lot of strategies that we would like to implement that would be cost effective and possibly save money for the taxpayer and developer. He said it is irrelevant as to what the Federal government does -we still have State requirements (CEQA, SCAG, etc) and this does not diminish what those documents already require us to do. He said we have positives to gain with this and he supports the spirit and intent. Moved by Wimberly, seconded by Macias, to accept by Minute Action the Sustainable Community Action Plan and forward to the City Council carried 4-0-1 (Fletcher absent) Page 3 of 9 Item Ct-3 MARCH 22, 2017 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA E.

Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for the project and approve Design Review DRC2016-00695 through adoption of the attached Resolution. BACKGROUND: The project site consists of two vacant parcels located on opposing sides of the future right-of- way extension for Feron Boulevard. Parcel 1 is a 3.12 acre parcel located to the north of Feron Boulevard. Conditional Use Permit CUP99-31 was approved in September 1999 and allowed for the operation of a vehicle storage/impound yard on Parcel 1 for up to 5 years. The vehicle storage/impound yard has subsequently been removed from Parcel 1 and the site is now vacant. Parcel 2 is a 4.40 acre parcel located to the south of Feron Boulevard. Parcel 2 is also vacant with the exception of a Sprint monopalm wireless facility located at the northeast corner of the site. The Sprint wireless facility was approved under Minor Development Review DRC2006-00814 in January 2007, which allowed buildout of a 216 square foot enclosure area around a 67-foot high monopalm structure. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Project Density: Parcel 1: Floor Area Ratio — 0.52 Parcel 2: Floor Area Ratio — 0.45 B.

General: The applicant is proposing to construct two, one-story industrial warehouse buildings with a mezzanine in each building. The project is on two separate adjacent parcels totaling 7.52 acres of land located north of 8th Street and west of Industrial Lane. Parcel 1 is 3.12 acres and will be improved with a 64,509 square foot warehouse building. Parcel 2 is 4.40 acres and will be improved with an 85,494 square foot warehouse building of a similar design. Both parcels are currently vacant of any improvements, except for a Sprint monopalm wireless facility located at the northeast corner of Parcel 2. Parcel 2 also contains a 0.64 D1—Pg2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00695 — RANCHO CUCAMONGA PROPERTIES, LLC APRIL 12, 2017 Page 3 acre drainage basin at the rear of the site. No improvements are proposed in the basin area with the exception of landscaping. Feron Boulevard will be extended east -to -west and will bifurcate the two parcels. Both parcels will take access via proposed driveways along Feron Boulevard. The project site is immediately adjacent to industrial/warehousing facilities of similar scale to the north, west and east of the project. The site is bounded by the Metrolink railway line along the southern boundary. Each industrial warehouse building consists of 2,500 square feet of office space on the first floor and 2,500 square feet of office space on a mezzanine, totaling 5,000 square feet. The remaining square footage for each building, 59,509 square feet for the building on Parcel 1 and 80,494 square feet for the building on Parcel 2, will consist of warehouse space. All warehouse spaces will be located on the ground floor. The buildings are substantially unimproved on the interior and will be improved when a tenant occupies the space. Both buildings consist of visually -interesting fagades which meet the City's 360-degree design standards. The building fagades incorporate a variety of materials, including sandblasted concrete, brick, metal, and vision and spandrel glass, thereby meeting the City's design standards for industrial developments. Both parcels meet the City's Development Standards for parking, landscaping, building heights and all associated setbacks. Two driveways are proposed for each parcel. One driveway leads into the primary parking area along the side of each building and one leads to a smaller parking area to the front of each building. A total of 56 parking spaces are proposed for Parcel 1, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 55 required parking spaces. A total of 66 parking spaces are proposed for Parcel 2, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 60 required parking spaces. In total, 122 parking spaces are provided for both parcels. The project also includes 16 trailer parking spaces for the 6 dock doors on Building 1 and the 10 dock doors on Building 2. The project complies with all setback requirements, maintaining a minimum 25-foot setback along the front property line and a 5- foot setback along the side property line. Building height at the front setback is 35 feet and up to 42 feet closer to the rear of the building. The Development Code limits the height of the building to 35 feet at the front setback line and allows for increased heights of up to 75 feet as the site extends towards the rear property line. The floor area ratio is 0.52 and 0.45 for Parcels 1 and 2, respectively, below the 0.60 maximum permitted. Landscaping coverage is 10% and 10.3% for Parcels 1 and 2, respectively, which meets or exceeds the minimum 10% of landscaping required. Landscaping depth along the front setback exceeds the minimum requirement of 25 feet, and includes a variety of trees and shrubs to screen all mechanical equipment and the face of the building. A 500 square foot employee break area is provided at each site, which meets the minimum requirement of 500 square feet. Both sites include proposed wrought -iron fencing with mesh screening where appropriate to screen the dock areas from public view. B. AB52 Tribal Consultation: In accordance with AB52, staff contacted the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as result of the project. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians contacted the City via email (dated March 8, 2017) and declined the invitation to consult on the project. The San Manuel Band of D1—Pg3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00695 — RANCHO CUCAMONGA PROPERTIES, LLC APR IL 12, 2017 Page 4 Mission Indians, however, did request that a copy of the final report on the project be submitted to their Cultural Resources Department and for the project to include a number of mitigations ensure that no impacts would occur to cultural resources related to earth moving activities during the construction of the project. Staff received no comments from the other tribes. In addition to tribal consultation, the applicant submitted a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Assessment (Brian F. Smith & Associates, August 2016) for the project site that concluded that no impacts would occur to cultural resources related to earth moving activities during the construction of the project. A mitigation measure was included in the Mitigation Monitoring Plan requiring that an experienced and certified archaeologist/paleontologist be on site in the event that cultural resources are encountered before or during grading. A. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQX) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. CEQA Guidelines requires that the Initial Study review 18 separate environmental factors, ranging from aesthetics to utilities/service systems, where the project may have an impact on the environment. CEQA Guidelines also require that the cumulative impacts when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects are evaluated. The Initial Study for the proposed project concluded that the proposed project would have no impacts to the City's agricultural and mineral resources, recreational resources, public services, traffic conditions, housing, or to existing land use policies. The Initial Study did find that there would be some impacts to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards & waste materials, water quality, utilities/service systems and cumulative effects. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that the adoption of mitigation measures for those environmental factors would mitigate any potential for significant impact on the environment. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project. Based on preparation of the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. FISCAL IMPACT: The location of the project is currently vacant, with the exception of the Sprint monopalm, and provides approximately $50 annually via property taxes to the City. Development of this parcel as proposed is estimated to increase the City's share of property taxes to approximately $6050 annually. Upon occupancy of the building by a tenant, the City will also collect an annual business license fee. The Business License fee varies from business to business and can range from $23 to a maximum of $1,000. The proposed project will also generate a one-time impact fee for drainage and traffic improvements, and for police services. Impact fees are intended to offset services from the increased development. Fee rates are established by the Development Impact Fee Study. Drainage fees are assessed per net acre and is expected to generate roughly $150,000. Traffic and police fees are determined by the cost per thousand square feet of the industrial buildings and are estimated to generate roughly $770,000 and $12,000, respectively. D1—Pg4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00695 — RANCHO CUCAMONGA PROPERTIES, LLC APRIL 12, 2017 Page 5 The operation of a warehouse at this location will increase the number of jobs in the City, creating income for residents and supporting a retail sector generating sales tax in other parts of the City. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: MID AND LONG RANGE PLANNING One of the City's Council goals is to revitalize underutilized areas and enhance industrial land uses. The proposed industrial building will in -fill a vacant, underutilized parcel and enhance the existing industrial area along Feron Boulevard north of 81 Street. Approval of the proposed building will permit the area to develop as a General Industrial (GI) District as specified in the General Plan and Development Code. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. No correspondence has been received in response to these notices.

Project Overview: The applicant is proposing to construct two, one-story industrial warehouse buildings with mezzanine on two separate adjacent parcels totaling 7.52 acres of land located north of 8th Street and west of Industrial Lane. Parcel 1 is 3.12 acres and will be improved with a 64,509 square foot warehouse building. Parcel 2 is 4.40 acres and will be improved with an 85,494 square foot warehouse building of a similar design. Both parcels are currently vacant of any improvements, except for a Sprint monopalm wireless facility located at the northeast corner of Parcel 2. Parcel 2 also contains a 0.64 acre drainage basin at the rear of the site. No improvements are proposed in the basin area with the exception of landscaping. Feron Boulevard will be extended to run east -to -west and will bifurcate the two parcels. Both parcels will take access via proposed driveways along Feron Boulevard. The project site is immediately adjacent to industrial/warehousing facilities of similar scale to the north, west and east of the project. The site is bounded by the Metrolink railway line along the southern boundary. Each industrial warehouse building consists of 2,500 square feet of office space on the first floor and 2,500 square feet of office space on a mezzanine, totaling 5,000 square feet. The remaining square footage for each building will consist of warehouse space. All warehouse spaces will be located on the ground floor. The buildings are substantially unimproved on the interior and will be improved when a tenant occupies the space. Both building consists of visually -interesting fagades which meet the City's 360-degree design standards. The buildings' fagade incorporate a variety of materials, including sandblasted concrete, brick, metal, and vision and spandrel glass, thereby meeting the City's design standards for industrial developments. Both parcels meet the City's Development Standards for parking, landscaping, building heights and all associated setbacks. Two driveways are proposed for each parcel. One driveway leads into the primary parking area along the side of each building and one leads to a smaller parking area to the front of each building. A total of 56 parking spaces are proposed for Parcel 1, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 55 required parking spaces. A total of 66 parking spaces are proposed for Parcel 2, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 60 required parking spaces. In total, 122 parking spaces are provided. The project also includes 16 trailer parking spaces for the 6 dock doors on Building 1 and the 10 dock doors on Building 2. The project complies with all setback requirements, maintaining a minimum 25-foot setback along the front property line and a 5-foot setback along the side property line. Building height at the front setback is 35 feet and up to 42 feet closer to the rear of the building. The Development Code limits the height of the building to 35 feet at the front setback line and allows for increased heights of up to 75 feet as the site extends towards the rear property line.

AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? () () () (✓) b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but () () () (✓) not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway? 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. 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 site is located north of 81h Street and west of Industrial Lane, and is characterized by industrial/warehouse developments to the north, south, east and west. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project because there are no scenic resources or view corridors within the general vicinity. The project site is located within an in -fill industrial area. The parcels immediately adjacent to the project site have all been developed with industrial and warehouse buildings. The proposed building and site improvements have been reviewed by staff and determined to be visually compatible with the surrounding developments. A Design Review committee has reviewed the project and agrees with staff that the proposed buildings will not degrade the visual character of the surrounding environment. City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution. d) The project would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures were reviewed by staff for consistency with the City's Development Code standards. All on -site illumination levels (provided for parking, circulation, and pedestrian areas) comply with Development Code standards. Lighting is shielded, diffused or otherwise directed away from adjacent properties to prevent glare. Lighting is confined to the area of illumination within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or () () () (✓) Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a () () () (✓) Williamson Act contract? 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 site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located west of Archibald Avenue and is characterized by industrial/warehouse developments to the north, south, east and west. 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. b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no Williamson Act contracts within the City. c) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that, is zoned as forest land or timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related to the conversion of forest land to non -forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. No mitigation is required.

Therefore no impacts would occur related of the loss or conversion of forest land to non -forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. e) The site is located north of 8th Street and west of Industrial Lane and is characterized by industrial/warehouse developments to the north, south, east and west. The site is currently a vacant parcel that is not being utilized as Farmland or zoned for agricultural use. The proposed building would therefore not result in conversion of the land from Farmland to non-agricultural use. 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 discussed in subsection b, the project would not exceed any air quality standards and 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. 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 (PMio), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) microns in diameter and lead. Among these pollutants, ozone and particulate matter (PMto 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. Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg36 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Impact Incorsorated Im act Imvad The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this include motor vehicles at an intersection, a mall and on highways. SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within a jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from motor vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB). The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions from the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air pollution problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion (increasing temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the ground. Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants: ozone (03), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PMto), fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2,5) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead. Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or "non -attainment" depending on whether the regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Nonattainment areas have additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) responsible for ensuring the Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast Air Basin is in Non -Attainment Status for Ozone, PMto 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 Quality Impact Analysis (August 2016) was prepared by Ldn Consulting, Inc. that utilizes CaIEEMod (Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions and short- term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Short Term (Construction): Project Emissions and Impacts The project proposes two warehouse buildings and extension of an existing local road, Feron Boulevard, on an existing in -fill site located within the General Industrial (GI) District. The project site is currently undeveloped with the exception of a single monopalm wireless communication facility with surrounding block wall enclosure located in the northeast corner. The facility will be preserved at the final build -out of the proposed project. The potential emissions associated with construction of the project are described in the following sections.

Localized Significance Thresholds for Construction Equipment Exhausts and Related Construction Activities Construction activities produce combustion emissions from various sources such as site grading, utility engines, on -site heavy-duty construction vehicles, asphalt paving, and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. Exhaust emissions from construction activities envisioned on site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. The use of construction equipment on site would result in localized exhaust emissions; Rev 3-1-16 D1-Pg38 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 9 Less Than Signi(wnt Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially sign cant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act Incur orateE Im ad Im act however, as shown in the tables above, the amount will not exceed any threshold of significance. Fugitive Dust Fugitive dust emissions are generally emissions associated with land clearing and exposure of soils to the air and wind, and cut -and -fill grading operations. Dust generated during construction varies substantially on a project -by project basis, depending on the level of activity, the specific 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 Reactive Organic Gases (ROGs), a list of carbon compounds monitored by the California Air Resources Board. Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed project will result in a maximum of approximately 61.32lbs of ROGs per day (combined for all construction sources) during all phases of construction. Therefore, this ROGs emission is the principal air emission and is less than the SCAQMD rog threshold of 75lbs/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. Naturally Occurring Asbestos The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County and it is not among the counties that are found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils. In addition, there has been no serpentine or ultramafic rock found in the project area. Therefore, the potential risk for naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) during project construction is small and less than significant. Based on the discussion above and with implementation of the following Best Available Control Measures (BACM) as mitigation measures, short-term, construction impacts will be less -than -significant: 1) All clearing, grading, earth -moving, or excavation activities shall cease when winds exceed 25mph per SCAQMD guidelines in order to limit fugitive dust emissions. 2) The contractor shall ensure that all disturbed unpaved roads and disturbed areas within the Project are watered at least three (3) times daily during dry Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg39 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 Less Than Significant Leas Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act Incur orated Impact Impact weather. Watering, with complete coverage of disturbed areas, shall occur at least three times a day, preferably in the midmorning, afternoon, and after work is done for the day. 3) The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads and Project site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less. Cumulative Impacts: 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. 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 (Oa), and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PMia) 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. This city-wide increase in emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR. Based on the Air Quality Assessment (Ldn Consulting, Inc., August 2016), no short-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed any thresholds of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. With implementation of the following best practices and mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize short-term air quality impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant: 4) 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. 5) 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.

Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high -volume, low-pressure spray. 10) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions: • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering. • Pave or apply gravel to any on -site haul roads. • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. • Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result of hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25mph) 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. 11) 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 PMig emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 12) 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 PMfio emissions.

The proposed project would result in a net increase in the amount of development in the 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 on -site buildings and electricity for the lighting in the buildings and at the parking area. As shown in the following tables, project implementation will not exceed any significance thresholds. No long-term, operational impacts will occur as a result of the project.

In the long-term, continued development would result in significant operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan FPEIR; therefore, all developments would be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a less -than -significant level. This City-wide increase in emissions was identified as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the Section 4.3 of the General Plan FPEIR. With implementation of the following mitigation measures from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR that are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant: 13) Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. 14) Provide preferential parking to high occupancy vehicles and shuttle services. 15) Schedule truck deliveries and pickups during off-peak hours. 16) Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with automated time clocks or occupant sensors. 17) Landscape with native and/or drought -resistant species to reduce water consumption and to provide passive solar benefits. 18) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure.

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. With implementation of mitigation measures listed in subsection b) above from the City's 2010 General Plan FPEIR, which are designed to minimize long-term, operational air quality impacts, cumulative impacts will be less -than -significant. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large. The SCAQMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAQMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within Y< mile of the following sensitive receptors: Montessori School House (8968 Archibald Avenue) 2 Single Family Homes (8853 Archibald, 8801 Archibald) Condominium Complex (8734 Pine Crest Place) Rev 3-1-16 DI—Pg44 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 15 Less Than Signifcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Slgniflcahl With Mitigation lincorporated Than Signifcant No Im act Impact Impact During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under subsection b above and the following mitigation measure will reduce any potential impact to less -than -significant levels. 26) 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.e 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. 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. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or () V () ( ) through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat () (✓) () () or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally () () () (✓) protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native () () () (✓) resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances () () (✓) ( ) protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat () () () (✓) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Rev 3-1-16 DI—Pg45 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 16 Less Than Signifcanl Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Miilgafon Than Than No Impactt Incor orated Im act Im ad Comments: a) The project site is located in an area generally developed with industrial/warehouse uses. The site has been previously disrupted by mass grading work and there exists an approximately 8-foot tall pile of fill remains on the lot. An Initial Biological Analysis (TERACOR Resource Management, August 2016) found the site inhabited mostly by non- native vegetation of weedy and annual species. A number of avian and small mammal burrows were detected but were judged to be common wildlife and of low biological value. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources. Therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. Although no native habitat types are present, and no listed species are expected to occur due to the absence of suitable habitat, the potential presence of special -status species (e.g., burrowing owl) may impose some degree of constraint to development depending upon the nature of both direct and indirect impact on these resources, as well as on the particular species and seasonal timing of construction activities. During permitting procedures, the following mitigation measures will further reduce potential project related impacts to sensitive biological resources to less than significant: 1) Three days prior to the removal of vegetation or ground -disturbing, activities, a breeding bird survey that is in conformance with the Migratory Bird Act shall be required ,to determine whether nesting is occurring. Occupied nests shall not be disturbed unless a qualified biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either (a) the, adult birds have not begun egg -laying or incubation; or (b) the 'juveniles from the occupied nests are foraging independently and are capable of independent survival. If the biologist is unable to verify one of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within 300 feet of non -raptor nests, and within 500 feet of raptor nests, during the breeding season to avoid abandonment of the young.. If nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary "no construction" area shall 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 have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 2) Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity. The survey shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol: • Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on Appendix D (Breeding and Non -breeding Season Survey 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 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg46 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Patenlially Slgnincara With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act incorporate Im act Im act project site, then no further mitigation is 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 will at minimum include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground -disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre -construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls. During the non -breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non -migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre -construction survey, 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. During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall 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 have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. A biological report prepared by TERACOR Resource Management, dated August 2016, found no natural riparian habitat exists on -site, meaning the project will not have any impacts. A small human -made water conveyance ditch was observed close to the northern property boundary. The ditch intercepts storm water flow from properties to the north and carries it southward approximately 200 feet to the middle of the site where it likely connects with underground pipelines. The lack of natural water features in the area and the apparent human origin of the ditch suggested to TERACOR that this feature was likely not jurisdictional waters protected by California Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife Service. The applicant for the project, Bill Fox, submitted a copy of the biological report to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Staff at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife had no issues with the property or the report. Additionally, planning staff conducted a walkthrough of the site on February 15, 2017. The walkthrough occurred after a number of rainstorms had occurred within the City and provided an opportunity for staff to easily identify any waterways. Staff visually inspected the property and, did not identify any body of water beyond a few shallow ponds, which is consistent with the biological report prepared by TERACOR. The project design includes the preservation and restoration of the detention basin that will function as a water quality infiltration basin. No existing inlets or outlets will be altered, and the runoff from the project will be conveyed into the basin. Based on this conclusion, the following mitigation is included to reduce the impact to any potentially occurring riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community to a level of less than significant: 3) Prior to soil disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall consult with, and obtain a Jurisdictional Determination from, the U.S. Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg47 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 18 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant with Mitigtion lincoreawatetl Than significant No Im act Impact Im act Army Corps of Engineers and submit the results of the consultation and copy of the determination to the City. If the onsite ephemeral stream is deemed to be jurisdictional waters, activities that affect this waterway will require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act. The project will also be required to obtain a water quality certification from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act. The applicant shall provide proof to the City that this process has concluded and all required permits have been obtained or were not required. 4) Prior to disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall consult with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and submit the results of the consultation to the City. Impacts to the bed, bank, or channel of streams or ponds may require a Streambed Alteration Agreement (1602 Agreement) with the CDFW. C) The biological report prepared by TERACOR Resource Management, dated August 2016, found evidence of ponding in a detention base at the south side of the site. The basin has two wetland indicator trees but limited incipient wetland vegetation. Given the limited size of the ponding area and vegetation, the proposed development is unlikely to have substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. As mentioned in subsection b) above, the biological report has been preliminarily reviewed by California Fish & Wildlife and planning staff conducted a walkthrough of the site. No issues were found with the report upon preliminary review and planning staff did not identify any body of water beyond a few shallow ponds consistent with the biological report prepared by TERACOR. The project design includes the preservation and restoration of the detention basin that will function as a water quality infiltration basin. No existing inlets or outlets will be altered, and the runoff from the project will be conveyed into the basin. The impact is considered less than significant. 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) A Site Tree Assessment was conducted.by the applicant, Bill Fox, to indicate the number of trees, height and width, and their species designation on the site. There is a total of six trees on the site. None of the trees are over 30 feet in height or have a diameter breast height of 20 inches or greater in order to qualify as a heritage tree per the City's Development Code. Non -heritage trees may be removed by the property owner as needed. Therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with any local ordinance. With the trees installed as required by the Development Code, the impact is considered 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.

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? e) Directly or indirectly affect a Native American tribal () (✓) () ( ) cultural resource: 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. Furthermore, the project site is not listed in the California Office of Historic Preservation's Register of Historic Resources. b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native Americans according to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation, and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of Cultural Resources based on the future build out of the City. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will: • Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its archaeological value. • 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, Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg49 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 20 Less Than Slgnlficant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potenttalnt sJ,Pe,,m With Mitlgalion Than Significant No Im act Incur orated Im act Im act 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. c) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.6) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on an alluvial fan. According to the research performed at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the Sphere -of - Influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per the Public Safety Element of the General Plan; therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures: • Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the interval of earth -disturbing activities. • Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert earth -disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor of the find. • Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San Bernardino County Museum). • Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The project site has already been disrupted by previous grading work. A large mound of stockpiled dirt is located in the southern half of the site and very little native vegetation remains on the site. 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 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg50 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 21 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act incorporated Impact Impact 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. e) In accordance with SB18 and AB52, native communities were contacted to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to cultural resources as a result of the project. Tribal Consultation Request letters were sent out on January 24, 2017 to the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians describing the scope of the project. Following the prescribed timelines for AB52, staff did not receive any requests for consultation. Adherence to the mitigation measures listed under b) and c) will ensure that should any cultural or historical resources be encountered during earthwork or construction, all impacts will be less than significant. 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?

Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg51 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 22 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significam With Mitigation Than lgnificant IS No Im act Incor oraled Im act Im act 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 1.3 miles (north) of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 4.5 miles (north) of the site. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. The San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is approximately 5 miles from the northeast corner of the city and approximately 12.2 miles away from the site itself. The San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2 earthquakes, is approximately 8 miles from the northeast corner of the city and approximately 15.2 miles away from the site itself. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard Conditions will ensure that geologic impacts are mitigated and reduce risk of loss, injury, or death to people and damage to structures. 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 PM,o 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 PMio emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off - site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PMdo emissions from the site during such episodes. 4) Chemical soil -stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce PM10 emissions. c) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.7) indicates that there is a potential for the hillside areas at the northern end of the City and in the SOI for slope failure, landslides, and/or erosion. Areas subject to slope instability contain slopes of 30 percent or greater. Landslides may be induced by seismic activity, rain, or construction. The City Hillside Development Regulations prohibits the development within slopes of 30 percent or greater 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 Hanford Sandy Loam and Hanford Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg52 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 23 Less Than significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Impact Inco orated Im act Im act Coarse Sandy Loam 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 Hanford Sandy Loam and Hanford Coarse Sandy Loam 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. No impacts are anticipated. 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 6 key GHGs (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)). The combined emissions of these well -mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to GHG pollution. The western states, including Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, already experience hotter, drier climates. California is a substantial contributor of GHGs and is expected to see an increase of 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (OF) over the next century. Assembly Bill (AB) 32 requires that the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the lead agency for implementing AB 32, determine what the statewide GHG emission level was in 1990 and approve a statewide GHG emissions limit (427 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent) to be achieved by 2020 and prepare a Scoping Plan to outline the main 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. Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg53 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 24 loss men sgmficam Lass Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significmtl With Mifigafon Than Significant No Im act Inco a tetl ad Im aol 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 pollutants except PM,o, PM2.5, and S02 which are monitored at the Fontana -Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the project area for CO, NO2, and S02 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PM,o, and PM2 s levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly. Project Related Sources of GHG's — Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any ambient air quality standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of Planning and Research (OPR) guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead Agency. The City of Rancho Cucamonga has not adopted a threshold of significance for GHG emissions. However, a screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year is based upon South Coast Air Quality Management District staffs proposed GHG screening threshold for stationary sources emissions for non -industrial projects, as described in the SCAQMD's Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules and Plans. Project related GHG's would include emissions from direct and indirect sources. Based on the Global Climate Change report (Ldn Consulting, August 2016), total project related emissions would be 1796.62 MTCO2eq/year, as shown in the following table: Table 5.2: Expected Operational Emissions Summary MT/Year Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg54 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 25 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act Incorporated Impact Innact Area 0.000 0.004 0.004 0.000 0.000 0.004 Energy 0.000 699.654 699.654 0.028 0.008 702.735 Mobile 0.000 813.145 813.145 0.030 0.000 813.780 Waste 39.557 0.000 39.557 2.338 0.000 88.650 Water 11.529 135.413 146.942 1.190 0.029 180.989 Amortized Construction_ Emissions Table 5.1 above Total Construction and O erations 10_46_-_ 1,796.62 Expected Construction emissions are based upon CaIEEMod modelingassumptions for equipment and durations listed in Table 1 above. Data is presented in decimal format and may have rounding errors. As shown in the table, direct and indirect operational emissions associated with the project as compared to the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance of 3,000 MTCO2e per year would result in a less than significant impact with respect to GHG emissions. Cumulative 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, Cho, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Based on the Global Climate Change Analysis (Ldn Consulting/August 2016), no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term construction impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would have less than a significant short-term cumulative impact with implementation of the following enforceable actions, which are included as mitigation measures in accordance with Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR: 1) The project must comply with all rules that assist in reducing short-term 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.

Cumulative Long Term (Operational) GHG's Emissions — The primary source of GHG emissions generated by the proposed project would be from motor vehicles, combustion of natural gas for space and water heating, as well as off -site GHG emissions from generation of electricity consumed by the proposed land use development over a long term. CEQA requires the Lead Agency to review the project for "adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure," to determine potential impacts of GHG's. Therefore the project has been analyzed based on methodologies and information available to the City at the time this document was prepared. Estimates are based on past performance and represent a scenario that is a worst case with the understanding that technology changes may reduce GHG emissions in the future. To date, there is no established quantified GHG emission threshold. The project involves the construction of two industrial warehouse building totaling 64,510 and 85,661 square feet and therefore would result in an increase in the net increases of both stationary and mobile source emissions. The majority of energy consumption typically occurs during project operation (more than 80 percent and less than 20 percent during construction activities). The proposed project will incorporate several design features that are consistent with the California Office of the Attorney General's recommended measures to reduce GHG emission including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility off -site, employee outdoor eating areas to help encourage employees to stay onsite during lunch hours. 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 proposed project will incorporate several design features including: water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility off -site, employee outdoor eating areas to help encourage employees to stay onsite during lunch hours. 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. Based on the Global Climate Change Analysis '(Ldn Consulting/August 2016), no significant impacts to GHGs from long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project as shown in the table above. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. The proposed project would have less than a significant long-term operational impact with implementation of the following enforceable actions, which are included as mitigation measures in accordance with Mitigation Measure 4.5-1 of the 2010 General Plan Update FPEIR: 7) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way including low -volatile -organic -compound (VOC) materials.

Limit air leakage through the structure. • Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances. • Landscape and develop 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. 9) 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 or as required by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD). • 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. 10) 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. b) The project involves the development of two industrial warehouse building totaling 64,510 and 85,661 square feet, which is consistent with the General Plan. No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update includes 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 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg57 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 28 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Innact IncogPoraled Im act kn aq includes water efficient landscaping, shade trees, and walkways that provide accessibility to public sidewalks and therefore is consistent with the sustainability and climate change 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. Based on the Global Climate Change Analysis (Ldn Consulting/ August 2016), no significant impacts to GHGs from short-term, construction impacts or long-term, operational impacts would occur as a result of the project. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed the SCAQMD's interim threshold of significance, the project's contribution to GHGs from short-term construction and long- term operational cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. With implementation of the mitigation measures listed in subsection a), less than significant impacts would occur as a result of the project. In addition, the proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by AB 32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact. B. 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 are allowed to be stored and used at individual sites. The proposed warehouses on this site are expected to generate hazardous materials in a manner consistent with current construction practices of industrial/warehouse facilities. Best practice mitigation measures will be conditioned to limit the impact of hazardous materials and their odors from adjacent sites. The operational emissions of hazardous materials and wastes are unknown at the time of this environmental analysis. The proposed industrial/warehouse buildings are to be constructed as speculative with no definitive users at this time. However, at the time of occupancy the Planning Department will review each Business License for each tenant to determine the potential impacts to the surrounding residential uses and elementary schools. Furthermore, The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than any other in the State. The City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less -than -significant. b) The proposed project does not include the use of hazardous materials beyond what is expected with current construction practices of industrial/warehouse facilities. Best practice mitigation measures will be conditioned to limit the potential accidental impact of hazardous materials and their odors from adjacent sites. The operational emissions of hazardous materials and wastes are unknown at the time of this environmental analysis. The proposed industrial buildings are to be constructed as speculative with no definitive users at this time. However, at the time of occupancy the Planning Department will review each Business License for each tenant to determine the potential accidental impacts to the surrounding residential uses and elementary schools.

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. c) There are schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The boundary of the project site is located roughly 900 feet away from a Montessori pre-school facility. The project will be required to comply with existing State and Federal standards on the use and transport of hazardous materials. The proposed buildings are to be constructed as speculative with no definitive users at this time. However, at the time of occupancy the Planning Department will review each Business License for each tenant to determine the potential Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg59 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 30 Less Than Signifcanl Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act Incorporated Impact Im act impacts to the surrounding residential uses and elementary schools. No impacts are anticipated. d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site per 2010 General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8.6. 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 located within an airport land use plan according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1 but is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The project site is located approximately 2.10 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. The project is located within the Airspace Protection Area according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Development within this protection area will comply with FAR Part 77 regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. No impact is 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 four 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. 9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?

() () () (✓) 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.

A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare an SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for post -construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP, prepared by (Land Development Design Company, LLC in July 2016), 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, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices such as periodic parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system. The following mitigation measures are required to control additional storm water effluent: Construction Activities: 1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to the Building Official for approval, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on -site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 2) An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to 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. 5) 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 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg62 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 33 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially SignificantMitigation With Than Significant No Im act lnccraorated Impact Im act the NPDES General Construction Permit. Post -Construction Operational: 6) 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. 7) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. b) According to CVWD, approximately 35 percent of the City's water is currently provided from water supplies coming from the underlying Chino and Cucamonga Groundwater Basins. CVWD complies with its prescriptive water rights as managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster and will not deplete the local groundwater resource. The proposed project will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Figure RC-3. Development of the site will require the grading and excavation, but would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 300 to 470 feet below the ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.9), continued development citywide will increase water needs but will not be a significant impact. CVWD has plans to meet this increased need to the year 2030. No impacts are anticipated. c) The project will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on the site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the project will not 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.

The project will not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off -site. No impacts are anticipated. 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 proposed project is for the new development of 2 warehousing facilities with a combined site footprint encompassing 316,035 square feet of land. Therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. With implementation of the mitigation measures specified under subsection a), less than significant impacts are anticipated. 8) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by (nameldate) to reduce construction pollutants from entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. g) No housing units are proposed with this project. No adverse impacts are expected. h) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected. The 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 not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected. j.) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the. project site; therefore impacts from seiche and tsunami are not anticipated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the level of non -significance within the City. This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City.

LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? () () () (✓) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or () () () (✓) regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan () ( ) () (✓) or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The proposed project is located on an existing in -fill site located at 9500 and 9505 Feron Boulevard within the General Industrial (GI) District. The site is characterized by industrial/warehousing developments on all sides. This project will be of similar design and size to surrounding industrial/warehouse developments. The project will become a part of the larger industrial community. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is General Industrial(GI). The General Industrial (GI) land use designation permits a wide range of industrial activities and ancillary office uses. The proposed warehouse use of the project is consistent with the General. Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. The project site is located roughly in the southwestern quadrant of the City in an area previously developed with industrial/warehousing facilities. The City maintains extensive open space and conservation areas along the northern boundary and northwestern quadrant. The location of the project site is far from the City's conservation and open space area. As such, the proposed project is consistent with the zoning designation established in the Development Code for the purpose of mitigating environmental impacts. c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to General Plan Figure RC-4 and Section 4.10 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. 11. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral () ( ) ( ) (✓) resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important () () () (✓) mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Comments: a) The site is not designated as a State Aggregate Resources Area according to the City General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1; therefore, there is no impact.

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 not within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Figure PS-9 at build -out. No adverse impacts from surrounding roadways is expected. The Metrolink rail lines run adjacent to the site and is expected to generate some noise at the southern edge of the site. However, most activities are expected to occur within the buildings onsite. No noise sensitive outdoor land uses are proposed on the project site; therefore no impacts are anticipated. The project itself consists of two warehouse buildings totaling 64,509 and 85,494 square feet. Construction is expected to be the biggest contributor to noise levels at the project site. A Noise Study conducted by Ldn Consulting (August 2016) found that noise levels generated by construction equipment are expected to be as high as 82.2 dBA at 50 feet from the source. However, construction noise is relatively short-term and it's estimated that equipment will be operating on -average 200 feet from the nearest property lines. At 200 feet, noise levels will not exceed 70.2 dBA. The average construction noise levels meets the City's standards which allows for up to 80 dBA at the property line. Operational noise levels will result from future use of the site, include the operation of forklifts, trucks, trash compactors and HVAC units. Cumulative operational noise levels at the property line is expected to be no more than 66 dBA and is also below the City's standards for noise levels in General Industrial (GI) Districts. The following mitigation measures shall then be required: Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg66 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 37 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant With Mitigation lincorporated Than Significant No Im act Impact Im act Exterior: 1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction -related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 2) All future on -site activities shall adhere to the City's noise standards. Noise levels shall not exceed 80 dBA anywhere on the lot. b) The proposed industrial buildings are to be constructed as speculative with no definitive users at this time. The City's Development Code requires that all industrial uses be conducted within an enclosed building; hence, no adverse operational impact to nearby uses is expected. However, at the time of occupancy the Planning Department will review each Business License for each tenant to determine the potential impacts to the nearby residential uses and Montessori pre-school. As such, no impacts are anticipated. c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. Because the project will not significantly increase traffic as analyzed in the Traffic Study; it will likely not increase ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project. Cumulative onsite operational noise levels at the property line is expected to be no more than 66 dBA and is also below the City's standards for noise levels in General Industrial (GI) Districts. Therefore, the project is unlikely to contribute a substantial amount of ambient noise to the project vicinity. d) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, bn-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: 3) 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. 4) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.66.110, 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. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on -site construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be required: 5) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg67 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 38 Less Than slgnlgcant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant With Mit L.o Than slgnir, t No Im act Incur oraleG Im act Im act national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. e) The site is located within the Ontario Airport Land Use Plan but is not within 2 miles of the Ontario airport. The site is located approximately 2.10 miles north of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. The site is not within the Noise Impact Zone as defined by the Ontario Airport Land Use Plan. Development within this protection area will comply with FAR Part 77 regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. Per the ONT ALUCP, a real estate disclosure is required. No adverse impact is anticipated. 1) The developer shall provide all buyers with a real estate transaction disclosure identifying the ONT Airport in the City of Ontario and possible exposure to impacts associated with aircraft operations (e.g., aircraft noise). This disclosure shall be recorded against the property for future transactions. f) 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. 13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either () () () (✓) directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, () () () (✓) necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating () () () (✓) the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Comments: a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population growth. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. Once constructed, the proposed project will have a limited number of employees; hence, will not create a demand for additional housing as a majority of the employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding communities. No significant impacts are anticipated. b) The project site is located in the General Industrial (GI) District and is vacant. There are no existing residential housing units on the site. Therefore, there will be no displacement of housing or people and no adverse impact is expected. c) The project site is located in the General Industrial (GI) District and is vacant. Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected.

PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? () () () (✓) b) Police protection? () () () (✓) c) Schools? () () () (✓) d) Parks? () () () (✓) e) Other public facilities? () () () (✓) Comments: a) The site, located north of 81h Street and west of Industrial Lane, would be served by a fire station located approximately 1 mile from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will be placed on the project to lessen the future demand and impacts to fire services. No impacts are anticipated. b) 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 site is in a developed area currently served by the Cucamonga School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The project will be required to pay School Fees as prescribed by State law prior to the issuance of building permits. No impacts are anticipated. d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is located 0.51 miles from the project site. The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. 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 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg69 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 40 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation lincorporated Than Significant No Im ad Im act Im act for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. 15. RECREATION. Would the project. a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and ( ) () ( ) (✓) regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or () () () (✓) require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Comments: a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is located 0.51 miles from the project site. This project is not proposing any new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of parks or other recreational facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. b) See a) response above. 16. TRANS PORTATIONITRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy () ( ) ( ) (✓) establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non -motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management () () ( ) (✓) program, including, but not limited to a level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including () () () (✓) either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that result in substantial safety risks? d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature () () () (✓) (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access?

Comments: a) The proposed project includes the development of two industrial warehouse buildings totaling 64,509 and 85,494 square feet located north of 8th Street and west of Industrial Lane. The site is currently vacant and surrounded on all sides by existing industrial and warehouse facilities. 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. Implementation of the proposed project forecasted to generate 45 trips in the a.m. peak hour, 48 trips in the p.m. peak hour, and 534 daily trips. When converted to passenger car equivalent trips, the total number generated is 58 trips in the a.m. peak hour, 61 trips in the p.m. peak hour, and 679 daily trips (Translutions, Inc., July 2016), as shown in the following. table: Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg71 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 42 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act Incor orated ha act Im act Table A • Project Trip Generation ._ Peak:Houn' �'. r.

LOS = Level of Service The worst approach delay is less than opening year due to drfference in PHF per SANBAG Guidelines, The City Engineer reviewed the traffic study submitted for the project (Translutions, Inc., July 2016) and concurs with the report's findings. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing or included in project design. The project will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. All intersections will operate at a minimum of service level D through Year 2040 and is consistent with the City's General Plan as LOS D or better is the adopted standard. This standard serves as a foundation for providing a street network that moves people and goods safely and efficiently throughout the community, while ensuring that traffic delays are minimized. In addition, the project site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards. 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) 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 project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted transportation development fee prior to issuance of building permits. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements existing. All arterials and intersections will maintain a minimum Level of Service D and above by year 2040, which meets the Citys minimum Level of Service standard for all roadways. The project will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts are anticipated. c) Located approximately 2.10 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. The project is located within the Airspace Protection Area according to the General Plan Figure PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1. Development within this protection area will comply with FAR Part 77 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg74 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 45 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Im act Inco crated Im act Im act regarding height limitations in order to prevent obstruction to aircraft operations. No impacts are anticipated. d) The project is in an area that is mostly developed. The project will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. The project design does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections or farming uses. The project will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. No impacts are anticipated. e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles during construction and upon completion of the project and will therefore not create an inadequate emergency access. No impacts are anticipated. f) The project design provides typical features to support transportation and vehicle trip reduction. Sidewalks will be provided on both sides of Feron Boulevard to improve pedestrian access to the site. The site will also be conditioned to provide a bicycle racks to consistent with the City's goal of implementing bicycle parking at all new development sites. No impacts to public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities are anticipated as a result. 17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.

The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of 28 mgd which is considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in wastewater generation for buildout of the General Plan. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated. b) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which is at capacity. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated. c) 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. The impact is not considered significant. d) The CVWD provides water treatment, storage and distribution of domestic water to Rancho Cucamonga and portions of the cities of Ontario and Fontana, and a tract in Upland. The current daily water usage in the CVWD service area is approximately 41.7 million gallons per day (mgd). Residential water use amounts to about 60 percent of the total water consumed. Landscaping (public and private) is the next largest consumer of water at 20 percent. Under Senate Bill 610 (SB 610), Water Supply Assessments are required for projects that exceed the following sizes: 1) Residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; 2) shipping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet; 3) commercial office buildings employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet; 4) hotel or motel having more than 500 rooms; 5) industrial, manufacturing, processing plant, or industrial park housing more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet; 6) mixed use project including one or more of the projects specified above; 7) any other project that would demand an amount of water equivalent to or greater than the amount of water required by a 500-dwelling unit project; and 8) any project that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of. existing service connections for a public water system. Under SIB 221, a Water Supply Assessment is required when: 1) A project that is a residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; 2) a project that accounts for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of existing service connections for a public water system; and 3) applies to development agreements that Include such subdivision. There is currently a sufficient water supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this project.

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 site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Figure RC-4. Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed. The Initial Biological Analysis (TERACOR Resource Management, August 2016) was prepared for the project site. The study detected a number of non-native, weedy plant and common animal species judged to be extremely low in biological value. No special status plant or animal species were detected on the project site. There were also no jurisdictional resources observed on the project site. Although no native habitat types are present on the project site, and no listed species are expected to occur due to the absence of suitable habitat, the potential presence of special -status species (e.g., burrowing owl) may impose some degree of constraint to development depending upon the nature of both direct and indirect impact on these resources, as well as on the particular species and seasonal timing of construction activities. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site. Mitigation measures have been included requiring nesting bird and burrowing owl surveys to be conducted prior to approval of a grading plan. With the implementation of these mitigation measures, no impacts are anticipated. 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 Rev 3-1-16 D1—Pg77 Initial Study for DRC2016-00695 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 48 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially significant With ufigation 11narporated Than Significant No Im act Impact Im act 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. The proposed development of the site is consistent with intended land use as designated in the General Plan. All applicable mitigation measures, including air & water quality, greenhouse gases, cultural & biological resources and noise, and have been imposed to mitigate and reduce impacts to less -than -significant levels. Combined together with all other developments in the City, the project is consistent with the finding of the General Plan Program FEIR and the Statement of Overriding Considerations. 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. As prescribed by SCAQMD, an Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Health Risk Assessment Impact Analysis (Vista Environmental, March 2016) that utilizes CaIEEMod (Version 2013.2.2) to evaluate short-term construction emissions for Regional and localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As stated in the Air Quality Section, proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels to less than significant levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Noise Study (Ldn Consulting/August 2016) identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. The study reviewed the potential interior and exterior noise levels. The report concluded that with the proposed mitigation measures (see Noise section above for detailed analysis and mitigation measures), elevated interior and exterior noise levels created by adjacent roadways would be reduced to less than significant. Therefore, mitigation measures contained in this Initial. Study will ensure air quality and noise impacts are at less -than -significant levels.

The improvements onsite consist of two industrial warehouse buildings, totaling 64,509 and 85,494 square feet, of which 5,000 square feet is dedicated to office space in each building, parking and landscape improvements; and g. The proposed project meets or exceeds all Development Code standards. As conditioned, the industrial buildings will meet all applicable General Industrial (GI) District Development Code standards for industrial development. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan. The site is located within land designated as General Industrial. The General Industrial designation permits a wide range of industrial activities that include manufacturing, assembling, fabrication, wholesale supply, heavy commercial, green technology, and office uses. The project consists of two industrial warehouse buildings on two separate parcels of land on opposite sides of a future right- of-way extension for Feron Boulevard. Parcel 1 is 3.12 acres and consists of a 64,509 square foot industrial warehouse building, including 5,000 square foot dedicated to office space. Parcel 2 is 4.40 acres and consists of an 85,494 square foot industrial warehouse building, also including 5,000 square feet dedicated to office space. Both buildings are designed for wholesale warehousing with ancillary office uses. All site improvements, including parking and landscaped areas, are designed to be consistent with the warehousing use and is consistent with the General Industrial land use as designated in the General Plan. b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The Development Code designates the project site as a General Industrial (GI) District. The potential industrial and warehousing land uses that would be associated with this project are consistent with the General Industrial (GI) District. The zoning of the adjacent sites to the property are also in the General Industrial (GI) District and consist of industrial warehouse buildings. The design of the project site and building is similar in scale and intensity to neighboring lots. Parcel 1 has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.52 and Parcel 2 has an FAR of 0.45. Both buildings are below the maximum 0.60 FAR allowed in the General Industrial (GI) District. C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The buildings are designed for industrial warehouse operations with ancillary office space to support the main warehousing use. The buildings meet all setbacks, floor area and height requirements. The buildings have been designed to meet the City's architectural standards. Both parcels meet the minimum parking, access and landscaping requirements. Therefore, the project meets all applicable provisions of the Development Code. d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The site is surrounded by industrial facilities of a similar scale and intensity and bounded to the south by the Metrolink Rail Line. Operations on the site are expected to meet all Development Code standards regarding noise and odor. The project site is located within %mile of potentially sensitive receptors, including a residential condominium complex, two single-family homes and a Montessori school. However, mitigation measures have been applied D1—Pg101 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.17-24 DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00695 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA April 12, 2017 Page 3 to the project to reduce air quality and noise impacts to a less -than -significant threshold. Therefore, the proposed use is not expected to be detrimental to public health, safety, welfare, and/or materially injurious to properties or improvements. 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 ("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 Director of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730, telephone (909) 477-2750. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto as Attachment 1 and incorporated herein by this reference. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity. The survey shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol: • Burrowing Owl 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 is 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 will at minimum include establishment of buffer setbacks from occupied burrows and owl monitoring. If ground -disturbing activities are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre -construction survey, the site shall be resurveyed for owls. • During the non -breeding season from September 1 through January 31, if burrows are occupied by migratory or non- migratory resident burrowing owls during a pre - construction survey, 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. • During the avian nesting season from February 1 through August 31, if nests are discovered, they shall 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 have left the nest, construction in the area may resume. 39. Prior to soil disturbance and/or issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall consult with, and obtain a Jurisdictional Determination from, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and submit the results of the consultation and copy of the determination to the City.

Related file: Design Review DRC2008-00909. The project qualifies as a Class 2 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution 17-25 deleting condition of approval #4, in Planning Commission Resolution No. 14-05, that applies to Design Review DRC2008-00909. PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION: The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 feet (0.59-acre). Overall the project site is approximately 158 feet deep (north to south) and approximately 165 feet wide (east to west). The project site is currently developed with four (4) structures — a veterinary hospital, operated by Dr. Nabil Nasre/Alta Loma Animal Hospital, located in two buildings of 2,308 and a 760 square feet (Buildings 1 and 2, respectively); a single-family residence of 745 square feet; and a garage of 201 square feet (Exhibit B of Exhibit A). The General Plan land use and zoning designations of the property are General Commercial and General Commercial (GC) District, respectively. The land uses on the surrounding properties, and General Plan and zoning designations of those properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning North Single -Family Residences* General Commercial General Commercial (GC) District South Senior Assisted Living Facility Office Office Professional (OP) District East Vacant General Commercial General Commercial (GC) District West Commercial/Office Building and General Commercial General Commercial (GC) a Sin le -Family Residence* District *These residences are legal, non -conforming useslstructures on property with commercial land use and zoning designation D2—Pg1 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00071 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL APRIL 12, 2017 Page 2 PROJECT BACKGROUND: The original project, Design Review DRC2008-00909 as proposed by Nassef Eskander on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, was approved by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2014 (Exhibit A and B). The approved project consists of the demolition of the two (2) buildings currently occupied by the veterinary hospital to allow for the construction of a new, replacement multi -tenant building of 5,710 square feet. The veterinary hospital will be relocated to this building where it will occupy 4,815 square feet of the building. The remaining 895 square feet of floor area of the building will be for an unspecified retail tenant. The existing garage will be demolished, and the existing single-family residence will be converted for office use only. The approved project includes a new driveway access on Amethyst Avenue about 120 feet north of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue. The project will have an east to west drive aisle that extends the full width of the property. This drive aisle will terminate at the east property line shared with the vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09). It was anticipated, at the time the project was approved, that this drive aisle would connect with any future drive aisle and parking area associated with future development of that property. This would have allowed that property owner, via an access easement (Exhibit F), secondary access to Amethyst Avenue. Conversely, this would have provided secondary access from the project site to Base Line Road. ANALYSIS: General: The applicant, on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, is requesting that the Planning Commission delete condition of approval #4 described in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05 (Exhibit B). Per this condition of approval, the applicant is required to provide an access easement on the subject property as follows: An easement in favor of the property owner of the adjacent, vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09) to allow use of the drive aisle along the north side of the new building in order to allow access to Amethyst Avenue shall be provided. Documents for this easement shall be submitted for review by the City and the easement recorded with the County of San Bernardino (and other agencies/entities as may be required) prior to the issuance of grading and building permits. Following the approval of the project, the applicant prepared and submitted grading and construction plans to the City for plan check review. All of the required conditions of approval for the project, as specified in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05, were incorporated into the project with the exception of condition of approval #4. As the applicant had not incorporated this condition of approval, the City could not issue grading and construction permits. In early 2016, a draft of the access easement was prepared by the applicant's attorney and submitted to the City for review. Over the course of several months the City reviewed and commented on several draft versions until a final draft was accepted by the City in mid-2016 (Exhibit E). The City deemed it ready to be recorded with the County provided that the owners of the subject property (Dr. Nabil Nasre) and the property to the east (Zaven Islikaplan) were both signatories. The applicant, however, has been unable to obtain Mr. Islikaplan's signature. Staff attempted to discuss the issue via email with Mr. Islikaplan in September 2016 but also has not been successful. As both the applicant and Staff have been unable to obtain his cooperation, Staff has determined that fulfillment of the subject condition of approval is highly unlikely and supports its deletion. The access easement/agreement was required for three general reasons (Staff's comments follow in italics): D2—Pg2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00071 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL APRIL 12, 2017 Page 3 1. To eliminate the need for delivery vehicles having to enter the property from Amethyst Avenue in reverse (or exit into Amethyst Avenue in reverse) which may disrupt traffic flow and potentially be a safety issue. There is only one drive access proposed to the property and there is insufficient turnaround space on the property to allow a delivery truck to enter and exit the property in the forward direction. Staff has concluded that addressing the lack of this easement by substantially redesigning the project is not feasible, and would likely affect its viability. The project will continue to comply with the technical and design requirements specified in the Development Code without the access easement. The Fire Department has no objections to the deletion of the easement as they don't need it to provide fire protection for the project. The Engineering Department also did not object provided that delivery vehicles do not exit into Amethyst Avenue in reverse. The applicant has indicated that this is not an issue as they no longer use large trucks for deliveries. A letter (Exhibit D) was submitted on March 14, 2017 by the supplier (Hill's Pet Nutrition) for the animal hospital that describes their delivery vehicle and schedule. Based on that letter, a delivery truck will be able to exit the property in the forward direction. 2. To minimize the potential for multiple driveways along Base Line Road, ensure efficient traffic flow, and eliminate unnecessary paving that could otherwise be landscaping. For this project there are no driveways proposed along Base Line Road and, as noted above, any added driveway would affect the viability of the project. Any driveways along Base Line Road proposed in the future with any contemplated development of the property to the east of the subject site will be reviewed and addressed according to the City's technical and design standards. 3. To allow integrated commercial development with adjacent properties. As negotiations on the subject of the easement with Mr. Islikaplan have been unsuccessful, it is uncertain what he proposes to do with his property and when he anticipates submitting a development proposal to the City for review. Any development of the property proposed in the future will be reviewed and addressed according to the City's technical and design standards. Design Review Committee: The access easement was specifically discussed with the Design Review Committee during their review of the project on August 17, 2010 and April 19, 2011 (Munoz, Wimberly, Granger — Exhibits N and O, respectively, of Exhibit A). The Committee identified this easement as a condition of approval during those meetings. To ensure that the Committee had the opportunity to review and comment on the applicant's request to delete the subject condition of approval, Staff presented it to the Design Review Committee on March 7, 2017. The Committee (Wimberly, Macias, Granger) recognized that the applicant and Staff had exhausted the available means for complying with the condition of approval. The Committee recommends to the Planning Commission the approval of this modification to the project (Exhibit C). Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff determined during the analysis of the original project that it was categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualified as a Class 2 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction - as the proposal is to demolish an existing veterinary hospital of 3,068 square feet and construct a new veterinary hospital of 4,815 square feet with 895 square feet of retail space. The proposed modification of the project only deletes the requirement for an access easement forthe property to the east of the project D2—Pg3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2017-00071 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL APRIL 12, 2017 Page 4 site. It will not affect this determination as the proposed deletion does not alter the physical and operating characteristics of the project. The design and technical details of the project will not be revised and the land uses proposed with this project will remain the same. Therefore, the project qualifies for the previous exemption under State CEQA Guidelines. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed modification to the project will remove a condition of approval that the applicant could not be feasibly complete. Removing it will allow him to begin construction of the project. The efficiency of the design of the new building will contribute to the business success of the animal hospital. The project, when completed, may require additional staff which would increase employment in the area. Together with the added retail tenant space, it will result in a positive fiscal impact for the City directly through increased sales tax revenue, and increase revenue indirectly due to new employees' and customers' patronage of local businesses. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Removing the condition of approval will allow the applicant to begin construction of the project. The reconstructed animal hospital will contribute, as it does now, to the community by providing a service to residents and visitors. When completed it will be an aesthetic and functional focal point at the intersection of Amethyst Avenue and Base Line Road. As the project is located at one of the primary entries into the historic neighborhood, it will assist in ensuring the business success and attractiveness of the neighborhood. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. No comments and/or correspondence have been received in response to these notices.

Surrounding Land Use and Zoning - North - Single -Family Residences (Legal, Non -Conforming); General Commercial (GC) District South - Senior Assisted Living Facility; Office, Professional (OP) District East - Vacant; General Commercial (GC) District West - Commercial/Office Building and a Single -Family Residence (Legal, Non -Conforming); General Commercial (GC) District B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - General Commercial North - General Commercial South - Office East - General Commercial West - General Commercial C. Site Characteristics: The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 (0.59-acre) with overall dimensions of about 158 feet (north -south) and about 165 feet (east -west) located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue (Exhibit B). The project site is developed with four (4) structures (Exhibit C). Two (2) buildings of 2,308 and 760 square feet (identified as Buildings 1 and 2 for clarity) are generally located at the south side of the project site and are occupied by the Alta Loma Animal Hospital (addressed as 7289 Amethyst Avenue). The other two (2) buildings are a single-family residence (Building 3) of 745 square feet and a garage (Building 4) of 201 square feet and are generally located at the northwest corner of the project site. The single-family residence (addressed as 7271 Amethyst Avenue and known as the Bennett House) is a potential local landmark per the Local' Inventory of Historic Resources. The majority of the site in the vicinity of the buildings used by the veterinarian hospital is paved with asphalt. Vegetation on -site is limited to low grasses and a few trees. To the north are single-family residences while to the south, across Base Line Road, is a senior assisted living facility operated' by Sunrise Senior Living. To the west, across Amethyst Avenue, is a commercial/office building and a single-family residence. The property to the east is vacant. The zoning of the .project site and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. All of the aforementioned residences are classified as "legal, non- conforming" structures as they are within a commercial zone. The zoning of the properties, to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District. The topography of the site is generally level with an elevation of about 1376 feet at the north side of the site and about 1370 feet at the south side. ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant, on behalf, of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, proposes to demolish the two (2) buildings (Buildings 1 and 2) that are currently occupied by the veterinary hospital and construct one new building of 5,710 square feet in its place. The veterinary hospital will be relocated to this building but only will occupy 4,815 square feet of it (Exhibit E). The remaining 895 square feet of the new building will be for an unspecified retail tenant. The existing single- family residence (Building 3) will be converted for office use only while the existing garage D2—Pg6 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00909, DRC2009-00360, DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 3 (Building 4) will be demolished (Exhibit D). In order to allow the veterinarian hospital to operate with minimum interruption, the new building will be constructed in two (2) phases (Exhibit F). During Phase 1, Building 2 will be demolished first and about 4,700 square feet of the new building will be constructed. The veterinarian hospital then will be relocated into it. During Phase 2, Building 1 will be demolished and the remaining 1,000 square feet of the new building will be constructed. The architecture of the proposed building reflects the direction provided by the Planning Commission during the Pre -Application Review Workshop held on March 8, 2008 (Exhibit R). The proposed building will be of wood -frame construction and will be similar in appearance to the buildings in the general area including the single-family residences and the assisted living facility across the street. The building will incorporate key elements of the Craftsman style: a mixed combination of a hip and gable roof that varies in height and form; wainscots on all elevations finished with river rock; numerous column elements finished with river rock; building walls finished alternately with stucco or horizontal wood siding; exposed decorative rafter tails; and wood beams. The building will be painted with a palette of three basic colors. Glass will be provided on all elevations. Along the entire south side of the building and over the south entrances, there will be a large roof overhang supported by columns that will provide a strong visual statement along Base Line Road. Secondarily, this overhang will provide shade along the sunward south elevation. At the north entrances there will be a set of prominent gable roof overhangs that will provide a focal point as seen from the parking lot. At the west entrance of the retail space there will be a gable roof and a small overhead trellis (Exhibit H). Through the use of these elements the building will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, and enhance and emphasize the character of the Old Alta Loma community. The General Plan identifies this area as the Alta Loma Neighborhood Character Area because of its significant historic resources. To ensure that the project is integrated with (existing and future) surrounding development, the east -west drive aisle along the north side of the building will terminate (as a 'stub') at the east property line that is shared with the adjacent, vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09). The purpose of the 'stub' is to allow it to connect with any future drive aisle and parking area of any potential development that may occur on that property (and ultimately allow access via Base Line Road). This will provide the owner, customers, and employees of the animal hospital/retail space secondary access to Base Line Road. Similarly, this will provide the users/owner of the adjacent property secondary access to Amethyst Avenue (Exhibit 1). Staff has incorporated into the Resolution of Approval a condition that requires the applicant to provide an access easement in favor of the property owner to the east (see further discussion of the easement below). At the time a project is proposed on the adjacent property, the applicant for that project and/or owner of that property, will be required to provide an access easement in favor of the applicant. Additional site improvements include a redesigned parking lot, new landscaping, and new property line walls/fences. Included in the project is the removal of the existing driveway at Amethyst Avenue, which is currently 75 feet north of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue, and the construction of a new driveway that will be located further north about 120 feet from the intersection (Exhibit K). D2—Pg7 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00909, DRC2009-00360, DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 4 B. Floor Area Analysis: Per Chapter 2, Figure LU-2 Land Use Plan of the General Plan, the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the General Commercial (GC) land use category is 25 - 35 percent. Following the demolition of Buildings 1, 2, and 4, and the construction of the new building, the total building floor area, including the single-family residence, will be 6,455 square feet and the FAR will be 25 percent (6,455/25,705 = 0.25). C. , Parking Calculations: Per Table 17.64.050-1 of the Development Code, the parking calculations Tor the proposed project are as follows: Type of Use Floor Area Parking Number of Spaces Number of Spaces SF Ratio Required Provided Veterinary Hospital 4,815 1/200 24 Retail 895 1/250 4 Office (converted Single - Family Residence 745 1/250 3 Total 6,455 31 24« `Only 24 parking stalls are proposed. The result is a deficiency of seven (7) parking stalls. To address this deficiency, the applicant has submitted an application for a Minor Exception to allow for a reduction of up to 25 percent in the parking requirement (0.25 x 31 stalls = 8 stalls) D. Land Use Compatibility: The project will be consistent with the site's Development District, the existing use on the project site, and the surrounding land uses. The most sensitive land uses adjoining the project site are legal, non -conforming single-family residences to the north and west of the project site. These land uses are not expected to be negatively impacted by the proposed project. As the project is the demolition of an existing veterinary hospital and construction of a new veterinary hospital, the impacts of the project are not expected to be significantly greater than what is present. It is anticipated that some operational characteristics will be improved. For example, parking will be improved due to an enlarged parking lot, access will be safer as the existing vehicle entrance will be relocated further from the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue, security will be enhanced with new parking lot lighting, and aesthetically the site and general area will be enhanced with a building that complies with the City's current design and technical standards. E. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was conducted on June 30, 2010 to gather input and comments from the owners of the surrounding properties within 660 feet of the project site. This meeting was held at Saint Justina Church located at 8768 Helms Avenue. There were numerous property owners and interested individuals in attendance (Exhibit M). They inquired about the various aspects of the veterinary hospital including its operational characteristics (such as hours of operation), traffic (including delivery -related traffic), parking and access to the site, noise, and animal activities. The applicant and his client addressed these questions to the satisfaction of the attendees. F. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Review Committee and Technical Review Committee reviewed the proposal on August 17, 2010. The Committees accepted the proposal and recommend approval. The Committees' conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00909, DRC2009-00360, DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 5 G. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Munoz, Wimberly, and Burnett) reviewed the proposal on August .17, 2010 (Exhibit N). The Committee reviewed the architecture of the buildings, building plotting, site layout, landscaping, and uniform sign program (the sign program is discussed further below). The Committee recommends approval of the proposal subject to the revisions that were recommended by Staff. The only issue that remained to be resolved was the means to ensure reciprocal access for the adjacent, vacant property to the east. The applicant, on behalf of his client, indicated he preferred to provide an access agreement as opposed to an access easement. The Committee considered this request and indicated that they would approve this solution provided that it was acceptable to the City Attorney. Shortly thereafter, a draft of the access agreement was prepared by the applicant and forwarded to the City Attorney. After reviewing the document, the City Attorney determined that it was not acceptable. He indicated that the document was not sufficient for the purpose of ensuring access as it was neither comprehensive enough nor enforceable. Subsequently, the applicant indicated that he did not want to provide an easement or agreement in the absence of knowing what type of development would occur on the neighboring property. On April 19, 2011, this specific issue was forwarded to the Design Review Committee (Munoz, Wimberly, and Granger) for consideration. After explaining the City's position and considering the applicant's concerns, the Committee reaffirmed their position that an access agreement acceptable to the City Attorney is required. They stated that the applicant had the option of advancing to the Planning Commission for review, but in the absence of an access agreement, it would be without a recommendation of approval by the Committee (Exhibit O). There was no activity with the project until about October/November 2013 when the applicant contacted the City and indicated that he was now willing to provide the required access easement. Following a discussion with the City Attorney, it was concluded that the submittal of an access easement could be incorporated as a condition of approval. Staff determined no further action by the Design Review Committee was necessary as the applicant, on behalf of his client, is now willing to provide the access easement and that this matter was the only outstanding issue. The Committee's conditions (from the August 17, 2010 meeting) have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval. H. Minor Exception DRC2009-00360: The applicant has submitted Minor Exception for a 25 percent reduction in the number of parking stalls that are necessary to fulfill the parking requirement for this project. The presence of the existing, single-family residence at the northwest corner of the project site severely limits the size of the parking lot. As noted previously, this structure is a potential local land mark/Neighborhood Character Area contributor that has a value and benefit to the surrounding community and the City prefers that the structure be protected. Options for constructing additional parking elsewhere on the site are limited due to the size and overall dimensions of the project site — the parking lot as proposed is the largest it could reasonably be without eliminating amenities such as the trash enclosure or reducing landscaping. Reducing the floor area of the proposed building would make it impractically small and negate the purpose of the applicant's project, i.e., replacement of the existing veterinary hospital with a larger veterinary hospital. The Minor Exception, if approved, will result in a reduction in the parking requirement from thirty-one (31) parking stalls to twenty-four (24) D2—Pg9 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00909, DRC2009-00360, DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 6 parking stalls (0.25 x 31 = 8 stall maxium reduction; 31 — 8 = 23 stall minimum requirement/24 stalls provided). Uniform Sion Program DRC2009-00697: The applicant submitted a draft Uniform Sign Program that will regulate the technical characteristics of the building and monument signs. This sign Program was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Munoz, Wimberly, and Bumett) on August 17, 2010 (Exhibit P). In general, the proposed sign program complies with, and meets the intent of, the standards and guidelines set forth in the Sign Ordinance (in effect at the time of the review by the Committee) and Section 17.74 of the Development Code (as incorporated in the Development Code Update in September 2012), including the maximum number of signs per tenant, sign locations, wall sign construction/materials, and the basic dimensions of each wall sign, including sign area and text height. J. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as aClass 2 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction as the proposal is to demolish an existing veterinary hospital of 3,068 square feet and construct a new veterinary hospital of 4,815 square feet with 895 square feet of retail space. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. No correspondence has been received in response to these notices. submitted, 6t-ItA CB:MS/Is Attachments: Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C Exhibit D Exhibit E Exhibit F Exhibit G Exhibit H Exhibit I Exhibit J Exhibit K Exhibit L - Location Map - Aerial Photo - Existing Site Plan - Demolition Plan (Phases 1 and 2) - Proposed Site Plan (following completion of both project phases) - Floor Plans (Phases 1 and 2) Roof Plans (Phases 1 and 2) - Building Elevations and Sections - Overall Site with Drive Aisle extending to Vacant, Adjacent Property - Grading Plan and Sections - Landscape Plans - Photometric Plans D2—Pg10 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00909, DRC2009-00360, DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 7 Exhibit M - Neighborhood Meeting Sign -In Sheet Exhibit N - Design Review Committee Action Comments (August 17, 2010) Exhibit O - Design Review Committee Action Comments (April 19, 2011) Exhibit P - Uniform Sign Program DRC2009-00697 Exhibit Q - Discussion of Construction Phasing and Project/Business Operations Exhibit R - Pre -Application Workshop Minutes (March 12, 2008) Draft Resolution of Approval for Development Review DRC2008-00909 Draft Resolution of Approval for Minor Exception DRC2009-00360 Draft Resolution of Approval for Uniform Sign Program DRC2009-00697 D2—Pg11 s! � e � utalmA rx gq� OP RFl t MPAS d.. ,y 0.FALE55! i q PLMONOSI p r" y. ...

The proposed project includes incorporating an existing residence to the north of the site at 7271 Amethyst Avenue as part of the project—APN: 0202-161-10, -11, and -20. Related Files: Pre -Application Review DRC2007-00733, Minor Exception DRC2009-00360, and Uniform Sign Program DRC2009-00697. This item was originally scheduled for review by the Committee on July 6, 2010. At the applicant's request, this item was postponed to August 17, 2010. Design Parameters: The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 feet (0.59-acre). Overall the project site is approximately 158 feet deep (north to south) and approximately 165 feet wide (east to west). The project site is developed with four (4) structures — a veterinarian hospital located in two buildings of 2,308 and 760 square feet (Buildings 1 and 2, respectively); a single-family residence of 745 square feet; and a garage of 201 square feet. Vegetation on -site is limited to low grasses and a few trees. To the north, are single-family residences. To the south, across Base Line Road, is a senior assisted living facility and to the west, across Amethyst Avenue, is an office/commercial building and a single-family residence. The property to the east is vacant. The zoning of the property and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District. The topography of the site is generally level with an elevation of approximately 1,376 feet at the north side of the site and approximately 1,370 feet at the south side. As the project site is comprised of three (3) parcels, the applicant will be required to submit an application to combine the lots as a condition of approval. The applicant, on behalf of his client, proposes to demolish the two (2) buildings (identified by staff as Buildings 1 and 2 for clarity) occupied by the veterinarian hospital and construct one new building of 5,710 square feet in its place. The veterinarian hospital will be relocated to this building, and as it will occupy 4,815 square feet of the building, will be the primary tenant. The remaining 895 square feet of floor area of the new building will be for an unspecified retail tenant. The existing garage will be demolished, and the existing single-family residence will be converted for office use only. In order to allow the veterinarian hospital to operate with minimum interruption, the new building will be constructed in two (2) phases. During Phase 1, Building 2 will be demolished first and approximately 4,700 square feet of the new building will be constructed. The veterinarian hospital will then be relocated, and during Phase 2, Building 1 will be demolished and the remaining 1,000 square feet of the new building will be constructed. Additional site improvements include a new parking lot, new landscaping, new property line walls/fences, and the removal of the existing driveway at Amethyst Avenue, which is currently 75 feet north of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue, and the construction of a new one that will be approximately 120 feet from the intersection. The parking requirement for the new building and the converted office will be 31 parking stalls. The project will have only 24 parking stalls because of the size of the site and the presence of the existing structures. To address this deficiency, the applicant has submitted an application for a Minor Exception (Related File: DRC2009-00360) which, if approved, permits a reducti n of up to 25 percent in the parking requirement. rC. i /22 i4 EXHIBIT 14 D2—Pg38 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 2 To ensure compatibility with the surrounding development and consistency with Section 17.10.060(C)(1)(j) — Master Planning — of the. Development Code, at the direction of staff, the applicant has provided an east to west drive aisle that extends the full width of the property and terminates at the east property line shared with the vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09). Upon future development of that property, this drive aisle will connect with the drive aisle and parking area of the future development. This will allow that property owner secondary access to Amethyst Avenue, and conversely, allow the project site secondary access to Base Line Road. Note: The applicant has indicated that his client is willing to provide access but is not willing to provide an access easement. At a Pre -Application Workshop (Related File: DRC2007-00733) held on March 12, 2008, the proposal was reviewed by the Planning Commission (Attachment A). The Commissioners generally favored the concept of the project. They emphasized to the applicant that the architecture of the proposed building should be sensitive to the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood and consideration given to the location of the site at the "gateway" of, and relationship to, the historic Old Alta Loma neighborhood. The applicant was directed to incorporate Craftsman -style elements to the building. Additionally, it was suggested that the applicant review the architectural elements used on the Sunrise Assisted Living facility (Related File: Development Review DR99-32), located directly across the street. The architecture of the proposed building reflects the direction provided by the DRC Committee as noted above. The proposed building will be of wood -frame construction and will be similar in appearance to the buildings in the general area, including the single-family residences and the assisted living facility across the street (Attachment B). The building will incorporate key elements of the Craftsman style: a mixed combination of a hip and gable roof that varies in height and form; wainscots on all elevations finished with river rock; numerous column elements finished with river rock; building walls finished alternately with stucco or horizontal wood siding; exposed decorative rafter tails; and wood beams. The building will be painted with a palette of three basic colors. Glass will be provided on all elevations. Along the entire south side of the building, and over the south entrances, there will be a large roof overhang supported by columns that will provide a strong visual statement along Base Line Road. Secondarily, this overhang will provide shade along the sunward south elevation. At the north entrances, there will be a set of prominent gable roof overhangs that will provide a focal point as seen from the parking lot. At the west entrance of the retail space, there will a gable roof and a small overhead trellis. Through the use of these elements, the building will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and enhance and emphasize the character of the Old Alta Loma community. 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. The Committee should review the applicant's concern regarding the provision of an access easement through his property in favor of the property owner to the east and the importance of successful master planning. 2. The color scheme of the new building and the house (that will be converted to an office) shall match. This includes the color of the wood siding, the fascia boards, exposed rafters, beams, and the roofing tile. D2—Pg39 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 3 3. The color scheme on the building shall be consistent. The color of the roof, rafters, fascia, trellis, and stucco are "warm," while the colors of the river rock, trim caps, and wood siding are "cool." Revise the color scheme to be either all "warm" or all "cool." 4. The overhead members of the trellis feature are proposed to be constructed of wood. The Committee has indicated in the past a preference for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for durability. The Committee may want to consider and allow the use of wood for this project for consistency with the wood rafter tails and exposed wood beams. 5. In order to reflect authentic Craftsman -style architecture, all columns (square and cylindrical) should be modified to be battered. 6. The roof of the building is proposed to be rust -colored 'S'-tile roofing. This type of roofing tile is not consistent with the Craftsman style architecture. Flat concrete (or equivalent) roofing tile shall be used instead. 7. The fenestration selections (doors and windows) should be modified to reflect authentic Craftsman style architecture. 8. At the north and south elevations, there is vertical wood siding under two sets of gable roof elements. The rest of the building is designed with horizontal wood siding, which makes the vertical wood siding appear awkward. In order to reflect authentic Craftsman -style architecture, the vertical wood siding should be modified to shingle siding. 9. The materials of the existing house that will be converted to an office shall be refinished to match the proposed building. At a minimum, the refinishing should include a river rock wainscot around the base of the porch. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. Trees shall be planted in areas of public view adjacent to and along the structure at an equivalent of one tree per 30 linear feet of building, which has public exposure per Section 17.10.040(C)(3)(a) of the Development Code. Provide two trees along the east side of the building. The landscaping at the southwest corner of the site, near the intersection, "frames" the entry into the Alta Loma neighborhood and is a focal point. Therefore, the landscaping at this location shall be enhanced with more elaborate, decorative ground cover and shrubs. 3. Install windows instead of constructing decorative tile features on either side of the west entrance to the retail space. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. All ground -mounted equipment and utility boxes including transformers, back -flow devices, etc. shall be screened by a minimum of two rows of shrubs spaced a minimum of 18 inches on center. This equipment shall be painted forest green. D2—Pg40 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 4 2. The Double Detector Checks (DDC) and Fire Department Connections (FDC) shall be screened on three sides behind the 4-foot high metal mesh fence. This equipment shall be painted forest green. 3. Wherever river rock is proposed it shall be real river rock and not a manufactured veneer. 4. All wrought iron fences and sliding gates shall be painted black or a similarly dark color. 5. All doors (roll -up, dock doors, emergency access) shall be painted to match the color of the adjacent wall or glass panel. 6. The trash enclosure shall be constructed per City standard. The design of the trash enclosures shall incorporate the materials, finish, color, and trim used on the buildings. The proposed enclosure should, at a minimum, include a river rock wainscot. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved subject to the completion of the recommended revisions, to be verified by staff, and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action. Design Review Committee Action: The Committee reviewed the application and deemed it acceptable ,to forward to the Planning Commission for review and action. The Committee concluded that the architecture of the building was consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and the Craftsman theme. The Committee discussed the major and secondary issues described in the Comments Report with the applicant. The applicant revised his proposal prior to the meeting to address the comments in the Comments Report. The revisions are as follows: • The colors used for the building will be cool, gray shades; • All of the columns will be battered; • The trellis feature will be constructed of composite wood, while the rafters will be constructed of real wood; • The roof tiles will be flat; and. • The vertical siding will be changed to horizontal siding. The Committee considered the applicant's request to provide an; access agreement as opposed' to an access easement as a means of ensuring reciprocal access for the property to the east; .they approved that solution provided that the agreement was acceptable to the City Attorney. The applicant will prepare the document to be forwarded to the City Attorney. The applicant was directed not to put river rock on the existing residence. The decorative tile feature at the west elevation of the building will be replaced with wood siding. The applicant agreed to complete and comply with the policy issues. The final revisions will be submitted for staff review prior to scheduling of the item for Planning Commission review and action.

August 17, 2010 UNIFORM SIGN PROGRAM DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) - A proposed Uniform Sign Program for Development Review DRC2008-00909, a proposed veterinarian office and commercial retail building on a property of approximately 23,000 square feet in the General Commercial (GC) District, located at the northeast corner at 7289 Amethyst Avenue. The proposal includes incorporating an existing residence to the north of the site at 7271 Amethyst Avenue as part of the project. APN: 0202-161-10, -11, and -20. Related file: Pre -Application Review DRC2007-00733, Development Review DRC2008-00909, and Minor Exception DRC2009-00360. This item was originally scheduled for review by the Committee on July 6, 2010. At the applicant's request, this item was postponed to August 17, 2010. Background: The proposed sign program is for a new building of 5,710 square feet that will be occupied by a veterinarian hospital and an unspecified retail tenant. The basic layout of the building will have its primary axis oriented east to west with the hospital occupying 4,815 square feet of the eastern portion of the building and the retail tenant space occupying the remaining 895 square feet of the western portion of the building. The hospital will have entrances on the south and north elevations, while -the retail space will have entrances on the north, south, and west elevations. Design Parameters: The program proposes three categories of wall signs — Sign Type "A" for the wall signs, Sign Type "B" for vinyl window signs (for the purpose of convenience information such as hours of operation, telephone numbers, etc.), and Sign Type "C" for the monument sign. In general, the proposed sign program complies with the standards and guidelines set forth in the Sign Ordinance, including the maximum number of signs per tenant, wall sign construction/materials, and the basic dimensions of each wall'sign, including sign area and text height. Each proposed sign location and area meets the intent of the Sign Ordinance. There are some minor corrections and additions in the text that are required. The applicant proposes a standardized font (Helvetica Regular) with the option to allow for corporate trademarked font, colors, and logos. Staff has no concerns with this font as it is legible and similar to other fonts used on other commercial locations. Likewise, the option to have corporate trademarked font or colors is acceptable as it is a Planning Department policy to allow them. The wall signs (Sign Type "A") will be constructed of individual internally illuminated 4-inch thick channel letters — box, cabinet, and painted signs will be prohibited. These signs will be mounted 2 inches off the wall plane with raceways located behind the wall. The proposed maximum vertical dimension for a line of text and/or the logo on a one=line sign is 24 inches; fora two-line sign the maximum vertical dimension is 26 inches (10 inches per line with 6 inches between the lines). The proposed maximum horizontal dimension for a line of text, including the logo for both one- and two-line signs, is 8 feet. The proposed maximum sign area is 16 square feet (one -line signs) and 17.3 square feet (two-line signs). The wall signs will not negatively impact any significant architectural features, elements, or details. The proposed sign locations will be on the elevations facing Base Line Road, Amethyst Avenue, and the parking lot. The specific location of each sign will be on the wall planes under the gable roofs directly over the entrances. Because of the internal layout of the building, only the retail space will have, a sign on the west elevation. No signs are proposed or permitted on the east elevation of the building or on any elevation of the existing house that will be converted to an office. In all cases, the sign program clearly states the sign location restrictions (or will be revised to state the restrictions). D2—Pg42 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2009-00697 - NASSEF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) August 17, 2010 Page 2 The window signs (Sign Type "B"), the Sign Ordinance exempts "convenience signs" that are less than 3 square feet (1,296 square inches) in area. The proposed convenience signs will be 140 square inches (per tenant). The monument sign (Sign Type "C") will be located at the southwest corner of the project site near the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue. It will be constructed of two (2) pillars finished with river rock and decorative caps with two concrete panels (one for each tenant) bridging the pillars. Both sides of the panels, constructed of concrete 6 inches thick, will serve as the surface to which individual 3/4-inch thick plastic letters will be attached. The monument sign will be externally illuminated by ground -mounted lights. The proposed maximum vertical dimension for a line of text and/or the logo on a one -line sign is 10 inches; for a two-line sign the maximum vertical dimension is 26 inches (10 inches per line with 6 inches between lines). The proposed maximum horizontal dimension for a line of text, including the logo for both one- and two-line signs, is slightly less than 8 feet. The proposed maximum sign area will be about 6.7 square feet (one -line signs) and 17.3 square feet (two-line signs). The overall height of the monument sign will be 8 feet measured from the finished grade to the top of the pillars — the maximum allowed by the Sign Ordinance. 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. The maximum vertical dimension for a wall sign comprised of one line of text shall be 18-inches as opposed to 24 inches for consistency with other similar signs for minor retail tenants, i.e. non -anchor retail tenants, located at other commercial locations. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1. None. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. All sign areas shall be horizontally centered under the ridgeline of the gable roof directly above each sign and shall be located equidistant on the top and bottom from the nearest architectural feature. 2. The river rock on the pillars of the monument sign shall be real river rock and not a manufactured veneer. 3. Correct minor text errors within the sign program and add more information for clarity of the requirements. Include in the corrections a statement that all tenants shall be limited to having a total of three (3) signs with the option of either three wall signs and no sign on the monument or 2 wall signs with one sign on the monument. Contact staff for further discussion. 4. The applicant is advised that the addition of any tenants warranting additional sign locations or any modifications to the location and physical dimensions of signs, will require an amendment to this Uniform Sign Program for review and approval by the Planning Director and/or the Design Review Committee.

Related file: Pre -Application Review DRC2007-00733 and Minor Exception DRC2009-00360. The project qualifies as a Class 2 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction. Background: This application was previously reviewed by the Design Review Committee on August 17, 2010. The Committee reviewed the application and deemed it acceptable to forward to the Planning Commission for review and action. The Committee concluded that the architecture of the building, including revisions proposed by the applicant, was consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and the Craftsman theme (Exhibit A). The only remaining issue that needed to be resolved was how to ensure compatibility with the surrounding development consistent with Section 17.10.060(C)(1)Q) — Master Planning — of the Development Code. At the direction of staff, the applicant provided an east to west drive aisle that extends the full width of the property and terminates at the east property line shared with the vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09). Upon future development of that property, this drive aisle would connect with the drive aisle and parking area of the future development. This would allow that property owner secondary access to Amethyst Avenue and, conversely, allow the project site secondary access to Base Line Road (Exhibit B). The applicant responded that his client was willing to provide access but was not willing to provide an access easement. The applicant requested to be allowed to provide an access agreement as opposed to an access easement as a means of ensuring reciprocal access for the property to the east. The Committee approved this solution provided that the agreement was acceptable to the City Attorney. Subsequently, staff forwarded to the City Attorney a draft of the access agreement prepared by the applicant (Exhibit C). After reviewing the document, the attorney determined that the draft access agreement as submitted was not acceptable. He indicated that the document that was submitted was not sufficient for the purpose of ensuring access by the property owner to the east as it was neither comprehensive enough nor enforceable. In the interim period between then and now, staff and the applicant exchanged correspondence and conducted a meeting to further discuss the issue. The applicant indicated that they do not want to provide an easement or agreement in the absence of knowing what type of development would occur on the neighboring property (Exhibit D). Staff indicated to the applicant that an access easementlagreement is required for three general reasons: 1. Eliminate the need for delivery vehicles having to enter the property in reverse (or exit in reverse) which may disrupt traffic flow and potentially be a safety issue. There is only one drive access proposed to the property, and there is insufficient turnaround space on the property to allow a delivery truck to enter and exit the property in the forward direction; C I'2211� EXHIBIT O D2—Pg45 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 — NASSEFF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) April 19, 2011 Page 2 2. Minimize the potential for multiple driveways along Base Line Road, ensure efficient traffic flow, and eliminate unnecessary paving that could otherwise be landscaping; and 3. Allow integrated commercial development with the adjacent properties During the neighborhood meeting conducted on June 30, 2010, one of the principal issues raised by one of the attendees was the delivery truck and the manner in which it entered/exited the subject property (this is consistent with the first reason indicated by staff above). The solution to the issue was that eventually a continuous drive aisle would be provided in the future that would connect Amethyst Avenue and Base Line Road. This solution was acceptable to those in attendance. As the applicant does not want to do this, staff noted that a turnaround on -site would have to be provided. As an alternate solution, the applicant suggested limiting the type of the delivery vehicle to a size that would allow parking in a regular parking stall (as opposed to the delivery currently in use Exhibit E). This would eliminate the need for a turnaround which would require revisions to the parking area which, in turn, could reduce the number of proposed parking stalls. Staff is resubmitting the project for Committee review for its consideration of this issue only and discussion of possible alternatives as the Design Review Committee's condition of approval is not being fulfilled. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion 1. Does the Committee accept the project without an easement or access agreement in favor of the property to the east? Note: the applicant's solution to utilize smaller delivery vehicles cannot be enforced as the application is not a Conditional Use Permit, i.e. there will not be any opportunity to review compliance of conditions of approval following commencement of operations. In the event of non-compliance, there will not be a penalty for the "violation" or a means for ensuring that the "violation" is corrected. 2. If the Committee accepts the applicant's solution, then the proposed drive aisle connection to the property to the east should be eliminated, and a continuous planter area (with trees and ground cover) and a block wall shall be provided in its place. 3. If the Committee accepts the applicant's solution, does the Committee want a turnaround to be provided on the project site or is the use of a regular parking stall acceptable? Note: a turnaround will require revisions to the proposed parking area. Staff Recommendation: Staff requests direction on this matter. The project is otherwise unchanged. The project can be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action provided the solution offered by the applicant is acceptable. Design Review Committee Action The Committee discussed with the applicant the purpose for providing access to the neighboring property to the east and the reasons why an easement or access agreement is required. The applicant stated that his client was willing to provide a physical connection, i.e. a drive aisle that will connect with any future drive aisle on the neighboring property, but that he was unwilling to provide a legal document to ensure it citing the concerns noted D2—Pg46 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00909 — NASSEFF ESKANDER (FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL) April 19, 2011 Page 3 above. Additionally, the applicant indicated that he was uncertain of the required content of the agreement that would be comprehensive and enforceable. He also was concerned about the review process for such a document. The Committee advised the applicant to consult an attorney. The Committee reaffirmed their position that an access agreement acceptable to the City Attorney is a condition of approval. They stated that the applicant had the option of advancing to the Planning Commission for review, but in the absence of an access agreement, it would be without a recommendation of approval by the Committee. The applicant stated he would consult with his client and decide what to do next.

A. Recitals. 1. Nassef Eskander, on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, filed an application for the approval of Development Review DRC2008-00909 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Development Review request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 22nd day of January 2014 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 January 22, 2014, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a project site located at the northeast comer of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue; b. The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 (0.59- acre) with overall dimensions of about 158 feet (north -south) and about 165 feet (east -west); c. The project site is developed with four (4) structures. Two (2) buildings of 2,308 and 760 square feet are generally located at the south side of the project site and are occupied by the Alta Loma Animal Hospital (addressed as 7289 Amethyst Avenue). The other two (2) buildings are a single-family residence of 745 square feet and a garage of 201 square feet, and are generally located at the northwest corner of the project site; d. The single-family residence (addressed as 7271 Amethyst Avenue and known as the Bennett House) is a potential local landmark per the Citys Local Inventory of Historic Resources; EXHIBIT B PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 14-05 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2008-00909 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 2 e. The majority of the site in the vicinity of the buildings used by the veterinary hospital is paved with asphalt. Vegetation on -site is limited to low grasses and a few trees; f. To the north are single-family residences while to the south, across Base Line Road, is a senior assisted living facility operated by Sunrise Senior Living. To the west, across Amethyst Avenue, is a commercial/office building and a single-family residence. The property to the east is vacant; g. The zoning of the project site and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. All of the aforementioned residences are classified as "legal, non -conforming" structures as they are within a commercial zone. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District; h. The applicant, on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, proposes to demolish the two (2) buildings (Buildings 1 and 2) that are currently occupied by the veterinarian hospital and construct one new building of 5,710 square feet in its place; i. The architecture of the proposed building reflects the direction provided by the Planning Commission during the Pre -Application Review Workshop held on March 8, 2008. The proposed building will be of wood -frame construction and will be similar in appearance to the buildings in the general area including the single-family residences and the assisted living facility across the street; j. The parking requirement for the project is thirty-one (31) parking stalls. Due to the presence of the existing, single-family residence at the northwest corner of the project site (which is a potential local landmark) and the size and overall dimensions of the project site, the applicant is only proposing twenty-four (24) parking stalls. The applicant has submitted a request for a Minor Exception (related file: DRC2009-00360) for a 25 percent reduction in the number of parking stalls that are necessary to fulfill the parking requirement for this project; k. Following the demolition of Buildings 1, 2, and 4, and the construction of the new building, the total building floor area, including the single-family residence, will be 6,455 square feet and the FAR will be 25 percent (6,455/25,706 = 0,25). Per Chapter 2, Figure LU-2 Land Use Plan of the General Plan, the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the General Commercial (GC) land use category is 25 - 35 percent; I. This application is in conjunction with Minor Exception DRC2008-00360 and Uniform Sign Program DRC2009-00697. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed project is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposal is to demolish the two (2) buildings that are currently occupied by the veterinarian hospital and construct one new building of 5,710 square feet in its place. The veterinary hospital that occupies the two buildings will be relocated into the new building. The underlying General Plan designation is General Commercial. D2—Pg49 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 14-05 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2008-00909 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL January 22, 2014 Page 3 b. 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. The project site is currently developed with four (4) structures; two (2) of buildings are occupied by the Alta Loma Animal Hospital. These buildings will be demolished and a new building will be constructed in their place. The veterinary hospital will be relocated into the new building. The proposed uses are consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where the project site located and the expectations of the community. The zoning of the project site and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District; C. The proposed project complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code except parking. The applicant has submitted a Minor Exception request for consideration by the Planning Commission. The proposed project, otherwise, meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City. 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Citys CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 2 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction -as the proposal is to demolish an existing veterinary hospital of 3,068 square feet and construct a new veterinary hospital of 4,815 square feet with 895 square feet of retail space. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. 5.

Related file: Design Review DRC2008-00909. Design Parameters: The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 feet (0.59-acre). Overall the project site is approximately 158 feet deep (north to south) and approximately 165 feet wide (east to west). The project site is developed with four (4) structures — a veterinarian hospital, operated by Dr. Nabil Nasre/ Alta Loma Animal Hospital, located in two buildings of 2,308 and a 760 square feet (Buildings 1 and 2, respectively); a single-family residence of 745 square feet; and a garage of 201 square feet (Exhibit B of Attachment B). To the north are single-family residences. To the south, across Base Line Road, is a senior assisted living facility (Sunrise at Alta Loma) and to the west, across Amethyst Avenue, is an office/commercial building and a single-family residence. The property to the east is vacant. The zoning of the property and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District. Background - General: The project was approved by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2014 (Attachment C). The approved project consists of the demolition of Building 1 and 2 currently occupied by the veterinarian hospital to allow for the construction of a new, replacement multi -tenant building of 5,710 square feet. The veterinarian hospital will be relocated to this building where it will occupy 4,815 square feet of the building. The remaining 895 square feet of floor area of the building will be for an unspecified retail tenant. The existing garage will be demolished, and the existing single-family residence will be, converted for office use only. Site improvements associated with the project include a new driveway access on Amethyst Avenue about 120 feet north of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue. The project will have an east to west drive aisle that extends the full width of the property. This drive aisle will terminate at the east property line shared with the vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09). It is anticipated that this drive aisle will connect with any future drive aisle and parking area associated with future development of that property. This will allow the property owner secondary access to Amethyst Avenue, and conversely, allow the project site secondary access to Base Line Road. Although the parking requirement for the project is 31 parking stalls, Minor Exception DRC2009-00360 that was approved in conjunction with the subject Design Review application reduced this requirement (by 25 percent) to 24 parking stalls. Background — Condition of Approval #4: The applicant prepared and submitted grading and construction plans to the City for plan check review following the approval of Design Review DRC2008-00909. The required conditions of approval for the project, as specified in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05, have been incorporated into the project with the exception of Condition of Approval #4. As the applicant has not incorporated this Condition of Approval, grading and construction permits have not been issued. Per this Condition of Approval, the applicant is EXHIBIT C D2—Pg74 DRC COMMENTS DESIGN REVIEW MODIFICATION DRC2017-00071 - NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL March 14. 2017 Page 2 required to provide an access easement on the subject property as follows: An easement in favor of the property owner of the adjacent, vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09) to allow use of the drive aisle along the north side of the new building in order to allow access to Amethyst Avenue shall be provided. Documents for this easement shall be submitted for review by the City and the easement recorded with the County of San Bernardino (and other agencies/entities as may be required) prior to the issuance of grading and building permits. In early 2016, a draft of the access easement was prepared and submitted to the City for review. Over the course of several months the City reviewed and commented on several draft versions until a final draft was accepted by the City in mid-2016 (Attachment D). The City deemed it ready to be recorded with the County provided that the owners of the subject property (Dr. Nabil Nasre) and the property to the east (Zaven Islikaplan) were both signatories. The applicant, however, has been unable to obtain Mr. Islikaplan signature. Staff attempted to discuss the issue via email with Mr. Islikaplan in September 2016 but was not been successful. As both the applicant and Staff have been unable to obtain his cooperation, it has been determined that fulfillment of the subject Condition of Approval is highly unlikely. The access easement was specifically discussed with the Design Review Committee during their review of the project on August 17, 2010 and April 19, 2011 (Attachment A), and it was required by the Planning Commission as a Condition of Approval when they approved it on January 22, 2014 (Attachment C). Staff is presenting to the Committee for review of the applicant's request to delete the Condition of Approval so that he can continue with the construction of the project. The request will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. The access easement/agreement was required for three general reasons Eliminate the need for delivery vehicles having to enter the property in reverse (or exit in reverse) which may disrupt traffic flow and potentially be a safety issue. There is only one drive access proposed to the property and there is insufficient turnaround space on the property to allow a delivery truck to enter and exit the property in the forward direction. Staff comment: Addressing the lack of this easement by substantially redesigning the site layout and plotting of the building is not feasible. The Fire Department has no objections to the deletion of the easement as they don't need it to provide fire protection for the project. The Engineering Department does not want delivery vehicles reversing onto Amethyst Avenue. A possible solution to this issue is to shift the proposed trash enclosure, located at the northeast corner of the project site, northward to create a turnaround space for a truck. However, the applicant has indicated that this is unnecessary as they no longer use large trucks for deliveries. Further discussion will be provided at the Committee meeting. 2.

A. Recitals 1. Nassef Eskander, on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, filed an application for the approval Design Review Modification DRC2017-00071 to modify Design Review DRC2008- 00909 by deleting a condition of approval, in Planning Commission Resolution No. 14-05, that required an access easement on the subject property as part of the approval for the construction and operation of the animal hospital as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Design Review Modification request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 12th day of April 2017 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 April 12, 2017, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a project site located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue; b. The project site is comprised of three (3) parcels with a combined area of 25,705 (0.59-acre) with overall dimensions of about 158 feet (north -south) and about 165 feet (east -west); C. The project site is developed with four (4) structures. Two (2) buildings of 2,308 and 760 square feet are generally located at the south side of the project site and are occupied by Alta Loma Animal Hospital. The other two (2) buildings are a single-family residence of 745 square feet and a garage of 201 square feet, and are generally located at the northwest corner of the project site; PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. xx-xx DESIGN REVIEW — MODIFICATION DRC2017-00071 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL April 12, 2017 Page 2 d. To the north are single-family residences while to the south, across Base Line Road, is a senior assisted living facility. To the west, across Amethyst Avenue, is a commercial/office building and a single-family residence. The property to the east is vacant; e. The zoning of the project site and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District; f. The original project, Design Review DRC2008-00909 as proposed by Nassef Eskander on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, was approved by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2014; g. The approved project consists of the demolition of the two (2) buildings currently occupied by the veterinarian hospital to allow for the construction of a new, replacement multi - tenant building. The veterinary hospital will be relocated to this building where it will occupy the majority of it. The remaining floor area of the building will be for an unspecified retail tenant; h. The approved project includes a new driveway access on Amethyst Avenue, and an east to west drive aisle that extends the full width of the property. This drive aisle will terminate at the east property line shared with the vacant property to the east (APN: 0202-161-09) and would connect with any future development of that property to allow for mutual access to Base Line Road and Amethyst Avenue; I. The applicant has prepared and submitted grading and construction plans to the City for plan check review. All of the required conditions of approval for the project, as specified in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05, were incorporated into the project with the exception of condition of approval #4. The grading and construction permits cannot be issued until the applicant completes the specified condition of approval; j. Planning Commission Resolution of Approval No. 14-05, Condition of Approval #4, reads as follows: "An easement in favor of the property owner of the adjacent, vacant property to . the east (APN: 0202-161-09) to allow use of the drive aisle along the north side of the new building in order to allow access to Amethyst Avenue shall be provided. Documents for this easement shall be submitted for review by the City and the easement recorded with the County of San Bernardino (and other agencies/entities as may be required) prior to the issuance of grading and building permits." k. A draft of the access easement was prepared by the applicant's attorney and reviewed by the City. The City requires that owners of the subject property (Dr. Nabil Nasre) and the property to the east (Zaven Islikaplan) be signatories on the easement. The applicant and Staff have attempted to obtain Mr. Islikaplan's signature but have not been successful; I. The applicant, on behalf of Alta Loma Animal Hospital, is requesting that the Planning Commission delete condition of approval #4 described in Resolution of Approval No. D2—Pg90 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. xx-xx DESIGN REVIEW — MODIFICATION DRC2017-00071 — NASSEF ESKANDER FOR ALTA LOMA ANIMAL HOSPITAL April 12, 2017 Page 3 14-05. Staff has determined that fulfillment of the subject condition of approval is highly unlikely and supports its deletion; 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. The proposed modification of the original project is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The underlying General Plan designation is General Commercial. The deletion of condition of approval #4 described in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05 does not affect the land use of the original project, the intent of the land use designation of the project site, or the City's goals and policies as described in the General Plan; b. The proposed modification of the original project, together with the remaining 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 zoning of the project site and the properties to the east, west, and north is General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of the properties to the south is Office/Professional (OP) District. The deletion of condition of approval #4 described in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05 does not affect the operations of the original project, the original project's consistency with the land uses within the vicinity where the project site located, or the expectations of the community. C. The proposed modification of the original project will not affect its compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code under which it was approved in January 22, 2014. The deletion of condition of approval #4 described in Resolution of Approval No. 14-05 will not affect the project's compliance with the design and technical standards outlined in the Development Code and the and policies of the Planning Commission and the City. 4. The Planning Department staff determined during the analysis of the original project that it was categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualified as a Class 2 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction - as the proposal is to demolish an existing veterinary hospital of 3,068 square feet and construct a new veterinary hospital of 4,815 square feet with 895 square feet of retail space. The proposed modification of the project only deletes the requirement for an access easement for the property to the east of the project site. It will not affect this determination as the proposed deletion does not alter the physical and operating characteristics of the project. The design and technical details of the project will not be revised and the land uses proposed with this project will remain the same. Therefore, the project qualifies for the previous exemption under State CEQA Guidelines. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. 5.
