A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
DRC2015-00177, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED AVERAGE
PARCEL SIZE RELATED TO THE SUBDIVISION OF A 0.94-ACRE
PARCEL OF LAND INTO TWO PARCELS IN THE VERY LOW (VL)
DISTRICT AND THE EQUESTRIAN OVERLAY AND HILLSIDE OVERLAY
DISTRICTS, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF ALMOND
STREET AND ALMOND COURT; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF—APN: 1074-041-01.
A. Recitals.
1. Mr. Raymond Wang filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2015-00177,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 12th day of October 2016, the application was scheduled to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga;the meeting, however,was canceled due
to a lack of a quorum.
3. On the 22nd day of March 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said
hearing on that date.
4. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on March 22,2017, including written and oral staff reports,together
with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 0.94-acre project site located on the northeast corner
of Almond Street and Almond Court in the Very Low (VL) District; and
b. The project site is approximately 217 feet deep and 200 feet wide and is covered
with non-native grasses and remnant fruit trees and generally drains from north to south; and
c. To the north, south, east and west is single-family residential development within
the Very Low (VL) District; and
d. The applicant is requesting to subdivide(SUBTPM19615)the 0.94-acre project site
into two parcels for the purposes of developing 2 single-family residences in the future; and

e. The project site is within the Equestrian and Hillside Overlays; and
f. The minimum parcel size in the Very Low(VL) District is 20,000 square feet and the
required average parcel size is 22,500 square feet. Parcel#1 is 20,399 square feet and Parcel#2 is
21,198 square feet. The proposed 2 parcel subdivision results in an average parcel size of 20,799
square feet. A Variance (DRC2015-00177) has been submitted requesting a 1,701 square foot
reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size; and
g. Each parcel is a minimum 20,000 square foot size and provides a location fora 24-
foot by 24-foot corral area, as required for parcels within the Equestrian Overlay.A 15-foot wide trail
easement is included on Parcel #1 to provide equestrian access for both parcels.
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. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
result in a difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this Code.
Without the reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size,the applicant would be
unable to subdivide the project site and result in a physical hardship and the property would remain
as one parcel that is double the minimum required 20,000 square foot parcel.
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 zone. The 0.94 acre project site is just below the required parcel size to be
subdivided into two parcels. Without a reduction in the average parcel size requirement, the
applicant would not be able to subdivide the project site which would be substantially larger than the
lots or parcels in the surrounding area.
c. 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 zone.
Without a reduction in the average parcel size requirement, the applicant would be unable to
subdivide the project site, leaving a parcel that is substantially larger than the lots or parcels in the
surrounding area. Additionally, there are existing lots in the immediate area that range from 17,710
to 20,925 square feet. The proposed parcels are 20,399 square feet and 21,198 square feet which
is in keeping with the character of the surrounding area.
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 zone. It is common
practice to grant Variances for a reduction in a development criteria where there is a physical
limitation restricting compliance with that criteria. In this case, the existing parcel is just below the
parcel size necessary to create two parcels that comply with the 22,500 square foot average parcel
size requirement. The subdivided parcels will be of similar size to the existing parcels or lots in the
surrounding area.
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 Variance will not
negatively impact the properties in the surrounding area as the parcel is of adequate size to be
developed with a single-family residence of similar size, scale and massing that meets all
development requirement and will not be visibly different from the other residences in the area.

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration,together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental 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
based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that,with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission adopts the Mitigated
Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Tentative Parcel entitlement.
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 and all
other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's
determination 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.

•
Biological Resources
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 Treaty 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
5,000 feet of raptor nests, during the breeding season to avoid
abandonment of 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 Surveys and Reports) of the
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-19
VARIANCE DRC2015-00177
RAYMOND WANG
March 22, 2017
Page 7
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.
Cultural Resources
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or
during grading,the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor
construction activities,to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve
them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of
Rancho Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition
or significant modification without an opportunity for the City to
establish its archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of the
area.
• Prepare a mitigation plan consistent with Section 21083.2
Archaeological resources of CEQA to eliminate adverse project effects

on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, including
but not limited to, avoiding archaeological sites, capping or covering
sites with soil, planning the site as a park or green space or paying an
in-kind mitigation fee.
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the
inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
2) If any paleontological resource(i.e. plant or animal fossils)are encountered
before or during grading,the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist
to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect
or preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of
findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further
mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be
appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate,the program must
include, but not be limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the
rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay,to the site full-
time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert
earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed
salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading
contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor
of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in
the summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository(i.e.,San
Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino
County Museum.
Geology and Soils
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent(approved
by SCAQMD and RWQCB)daily to reduce PM10 emissions, in accordance
with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping
as soon as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established
by the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of
soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph
to minimize PM10 emissions from the site during such episodes.
