DRC2017-00130 TO REDUCE THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE FROM 8,000 SQUARE FEET TO 7,977 SQUARE FEET IN CONJUNCTION WITH A 20- LOT SUBDIVISION OF ABOUT 5.43 ACRES IN THE LOW RESIDENTIAL (L) DISTRICT (2.0 TO 4.0 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HERMOSA AVENUE AND VICTORIA STREET; APN: 1076-081-01. A. Recitals. 1. Manning Homes filed an application for the issuance of Variance No. DRC2017-00130 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 8th day of November 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 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 November 8, 2017 including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located at the northwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and Victoria Street; and b. The property has an area of 5.43 acres and is about 320 feet (east to west) by about 740 feet (north to south); and c. The property is currently improved with a 960-square foot house, an accessory structure and a garage as well as the remnants of a Christmas tree farm; and d. The property is bound on the north by single family residential homes.The property is surrounded by streets (Teak Way, Victoria Street and Hermosa Avenue) on the west, south and east side and beyond those streets are more single-family residential homes and a park to the east; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-97 VARIANCE DRC2017-00130- MANNING HOMES NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 2 e. The zoning of the property and all the properties to the south, east and west of the subject property is Low(L) Residential District. A portion of the property to the east is zoned Open Space (OS); and f. The Variance application, DRC2017-00130 is for the reduction of minimum average lot size from 8,000 square feet to 7,977 square feet; and g. The General Plan Land Use designation of the project site and the properties surrounding the subject property is Low Residential. A portion of land to the east is zoned Parks; and h. The related Tentative Tract Map application, SUBTT20080, proposes 20 single- family lots; and i. The related Design Review application, DRC2017-00129, proposes the construction of 19 single-family homes; and j. The related Minor Exception Review application, DRC2017-00131, proposes to increase the maximum height of the project perimeter's walls 1.5 feet up to 7.5 feet in height; and k. The related Landmark Designation application, DRC2017-00485, proposes to move the existing historic home to lot one and designate it as a historic landmark; and 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 strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. The reduction in the required average lot size is necessary due to the additional required lot needed to preserve the historic house.Without providing an additional lot for the historic house,the applicant would only need 19 lots and would have enough square footage to exceed the average lot size requirement. b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. The applicant has agreed to preserve the existing home on the subject property but this is requiring that the applicant use a portion of the land to create an extra plot of land for this home. When the surrounding lot or lots were proposed, this was not a limitation. Furthermore, the proposed lots are larger than the majority of the surrounding lots in the same area. The proposed lots are larger than all of the lots to the west and the south of the subject property. c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district.The project site is within the Low (L) District which requires that lots have a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and an average lot size of 8,000 square feet. Currently, the lots are proposed to range between 7,382 square feet and 11,294 square feet with an average lot size of 7,977 square feet. Without the average lot size reduction of 23 square feet, the project would need to be redesigned, reducing the number of lots and subsequently increasing the size of the remaining lots to be much larger than the required minimum lot sizes in the zoning district and the existing lots in the PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-97 VARIANCE DRC2017-00130- MANNING HOMES NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 3 surrounding area. Not approving the Variance would deprive the applicant of development rights enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. d. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. It is not uncommon to grant a Variance to reduce a required average lot size within a subdivision when the lots are otherwise in compliance, the reduction is minimal and there are circumstances that preclude the project from complying. The proposed Variance for a reduction in the required average lot size within the subdivision, will not constitute a grant of special privilege as existing site conditions, including providing a lot for the existing historical home, limit alternative site designs without reducing the number of lots. e. The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The reduction in the required average lot size within the proposed 20-lot subdivision will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, as the reduction will be in keeping with other subdivisions in the surrounding area and with the intent of the Low (L) District. Additionally, staff has prepared an environmental review for the proposed project and has determined that with the inclusion of mitigation measures the project will have a less than significant impact on the environment. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the findings as follows: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the applicant's environmental consultant, Applied Planning, prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. The Initial Study was peer reviewed by Placeworks, an independent environmental consultant under contract with the City. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, it was determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Waste Materials, and Noise there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with,the mitigation measures for the project. 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. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-97 VARIANCE DRC2017-00130- MANNING HOMES NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 4 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 below and in the attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is for a request to reduce the average lot size from 8,000 square feet to 7,977 square feet in conjunction with a 20-lot subdivision of about 5.43 acres in the Low Residential (L) District(2.0 to 4.0 dwelling units per acre) located at the northwest corner of Hermosa Avenue and Victoria Street; APN: 1076-081-01. Environmental Mitigation Air Quality 1) During grading and site preparation phases of construction, the work area shall be watered a minimum of two times per day. Biological 1) Avoidance of Nesting Migratory Birds: If possible, all vegetation removal activities shall be scheduled from August 1 to February 1, which is outside the general avian nesting season. This would ensure that no active nests would be disturbed and that removal could proceed rapidly. If vegetation is to be cleared during the nesting season, all suitable habitat will be thoroughly surveyed within 72 hours prior to clearing for the presence of nesting birds by a qualified biologist (Project Biologist). The Project Biologist shall be approved by the City and retained by the Applicant. The survey results shall be submitted by the Project Applicant to the City Planning Department. If any active nests are detected, the area shall be flagged and mapped on the construction plans along with a minimum 300-foot buffer, with the final buffer distance to be determined by the Project Biologist. The buffer area shall be avoided until, as determined by the Project Biologist, the nesting cycle is complete or in is concluded that the nest has failed. In addition, the Project Biologist shall be present on the site to monitor the vegetation removal to ensure that PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-97 VARIANCE DRC2017-00130- MANNING HOMES NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 5 any nests, which were not detected during the initial survey, are not disturbed. Cultural Resources 1) The removal of historic materials or alteration of features that characterize the residence shall be avoided. Repair/replacement of materials shall be made in-kind. 2) Distinctive features,finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the residence shall be preserved and/or repaired/replaced in-kind. 3) Any deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a character- defining feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 4) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. 5) The design plans and elevations for the new detached garage associated with the historic period residence should include a gable roof and siding that is similar in appearance to the house and must be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of building permits. 6) Removal/relocation of the residence shall be monitored by a qualified archaeologist, since the potential for subsurface cultural deposits is moderately high in the area surrounding the house 7) In the event that Native American cultural resources are discovered, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of Interior (SOI) standards shall be hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the Project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will be contacted if any such find occurs and be provided information and permitted/invited to perform a site visit when the archaeologist makes their assessment, so as to provide Tribal input. 8) If significant Native American historical resources, as defined by CEQA, are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, an SOI-qualified archaeologist shall be retained to develop a cultural resource Treatment Plan, as well as a Discovery and Monitoring Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for review and comment. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-97 VARIANCE DRC2017-00130- MANNING HOMES NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 6 a. All in-field investigations, assessments, and/or data recovery enacted pursuant to the finalized Treatment Plan shall be monitored by a San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Tribal Participant(s). b. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with San Manuel Band of Mission Indians on the disposition and treatment of any artifacts or other cultural materials encountered during the project. Geology and Soils 1) A geotechnical engineer or geologist shall be on-site during all grading and foundation construction to verify all observations/findings of the Geotechnical Investigation, or provide amendments as necessary. Hazards and Waste Materials 1) Prior to any relocation, demolition, or destructive renovation activities involving the onsite structures, the Applicant shall submit documentation to the City that ACMs and LBP issues are not applicable to Project, or provide an action plan that will be implemented in accordance with all appropriate regulatory agency guidelines to abate any issues. 2) Should ACMs or LBP be identified on-site, confirmed and suspected ACMs or LBP shall be handled and disposed of by licensed contractors in accordance with all appropriate regulatory agency guidelines. Noise 1) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans, the City shall condition approval of subdivisions that are adjacent to any developed/occupied noise sensitive land uses by requiring applications to submit a Construction-Source Noise Mitigation Plan (Plan) to the City for review and approval. At a minimum, the Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction of the Project. Noise control/mitigation incorporated in the Plan may include but would not be limited to: • Implementation of intervening noise attenuation screening/baffles between equipment operations and potentially affected receptors; • Use of electrically-powered construction equipment; • Restricted use of equipment at Project boundaries; • Ensuring that equipment power is appropriate for the incident construction activity (neither underpowered or overpowered); • Use of newer construction equipment. Newer equipment is typically quieter than older models; PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-97 VARIANCE DRC2017-00130- MANNING HOMES NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 7 • Modify equipment to reduce source noise levels by intake and exhaust modification(s) and incorporation of sound attenuating panels around engines. The Plan shall demonstrate that received construction-source noise levels would not exceed the City's performance standard of 65 dBA(Leq) at any occupied sensitive receptor land use. 2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D [17.66.050-D], as measured at the property line. Monitoring of received noise levels shall be conducted in response to any noise complaints, or shall be otherwise conducted as determined necessary by the City Building Official. If monitored constructions-source noise levels at affected receptors exceed the City's 65 dBA (Leq) performance standard, construction activities shall be reduced in intensity or shall be otherwise modified to ensure compliance with the City's noise standards. 3) The Plan required as part of the previous noise mitigation measure [Mitigation Measure 4.12.1] shall specify that haul truck deliveries be subject to the same hours specified for construction equipment (i.e., Monday through Saturday, 6:30 AM and 8:00 PM and not allowed on Sundays and national holidays). Additionally, the Plan shall denote any construction traffic haul route where heavy trucks would exceed 100 daily trips (counting those both to and from the construction site). To the extent feasible, the Plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. The Plan shall also incorporate any other restrictions imposed by City staff. 4) If a perimeter block wall is required for a project, the wall shall be constructed as early as possible during the first phase of construction. 6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 8TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2017.
