To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer
By: Carlo Cambare, Engineering Technician
Subject: VACATION OF PORTIONS OF CENTER AVENUE, LOCATED WEST OF HAVEN AVENUE
AND SOUTH OF ARROW ROUTE (V-233) — A request to vacate the east side of
Center Avenue between 24th and Humboldt Avenue (8855 Center Avenue) - APN 209-123-05
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the finding through minute action that the pr'oposed
vacation is in conformance with the General Plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In conjunction with the development review for a new single family residence at 8855 Center Avenue, it
was determined that there is an excess right-of-way of 10 feet, located on the east side of Center Avenue.
Said excess right-of-way was previously dedicated under the North Cucamonga Township Map. Once
vacated, said excess right-of-way will be part of Lot 5 of Block 63 of the North Cucamonga Township.
The vacation is consistent with the General Plan and the Development Code because said excess
right-of-way is not required for street, highways and related purposes anymore and therefore will be part
of Lot 5 Block 63 of the North Cucamonga Township.

ANALYSIS:
is located at the northeast corner of Almond
217 feet deep and 190 feet wide. The site is
fruit trees and generally drains from north to
A. General: The applicant is requesting to subdivide (SUBTPM19615) the 0.94-acre project site
into two parcels for the purpose of developing 2 single-family residences in the future. The
project site is within the Very Low (VL) District and within the Equestrian and Hillside Overlay
Districts. The minimum parcel size in the Very Low (VL) District is 20,000 square feet and the
average parcel size is 22,500 square feet. Parcel #1 is 20,224 square feet and Parcel #2 is
20,006 square feet. The proposed 2 parcel subdivision results in an average parcel size of
20,115 square feet. A Variance (DRC2015-00177) has been submitted requesting a 2,385
square foot reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size. A second
Variance (DRC2016-00434) has been requested to reduce the required corner parcel width of
Parcel #1 by 2 feet - 2 inches. Each parcel provides drive access from Almond Street and
equestrian trail access from Almond Court.
The project adheres to all other development criteria including parcel depth and providing a
15-foot wide equestrian trail. The Development Code requires corner parcels to be 100 feet
wide, interior parcels to be 90 feet wide and each parcel to be a minimum 200 feet deep.
Corner Parcel #1 is 97.80 feet wide, Interior Parcel #2 is 92.20 feet wide and each parcel is
217 feet deep. A 15-foot wide equestrian trail runs along the north side of Parcel #1 providing
trail access to Almond Court for both parcels. The trail will drain with a 2 percent grade to the
drainage facility on the north side of the trail. Each parcel is a minimum 20,000 square feet in
size and provides a location for a 24-foot by 24-foot corral area, as required for parcels within
the Equestrian Overlay. A separate 5-foot wide private drainage easement is provided along
the north property line (north of the equestrian trail) to carry storm water runoff from north of
the project site and directing the storm water along the east property line of Parcel #2 to the
public storm drain system on Almond Street. A decorative wall will be required along the north
property line, on the south side of the equestrian trail and along the side property lines of each
parcel. The plans callout that the trail will be topped with a 4-inch cover of decomposed
granite, as required by the Trails Implementation Plan. Access to the trail will be controlled by
a trail access gate designed per Rancho Cucamonga Standard Drawing 1006-C.
B. Variances: The applicant is requesting approval of two separate Variances: The first
(DRC2015-00177) is for a reduction in the required average parcel size and the second
(DRC2016-00434) is for the reduction of the parcel width requirement of Parcel #1. The
project site is 0.94 acre in size and is 2,385 square feet deficient from complying with the
required 22,500 square foot average parcel size. Parcel #1 is 97.8 feet wide and is 2 feet — 2

inches deficient from meeting the 100 foot required corner parcel width. Staff supports each of
the Variance requests due to the parcel size being just under 1-acre. Without the Variances,
the applicant would be unable to subdivide the project site which would be much larger than
what is required in the Very Low (VL) District and out of character with the other lots or parcels
in the surrounding area. The lots on the west side of Almond Court (SUBTT12237) were
approved with lot sizes ranging from 17,710 to 20,925 square feet. The findings of fact below
support the necessary findings, which are required by the City's Development Code:
PARCEL AVERAGE VARIANCE (DRC2015-00177):
Fact: 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.
Finding: Without the reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size, the
applicant would be unable to subdivide the project site and would be left with a parcel that is
substantially larger than the minimum required 20,000 square foot parcel size.
Fact: 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.
Finding: 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.
Fact: 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.
Finding: 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.
Fact: 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.
Finding: 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 lots or parcels in the surrounding area.
Fact: 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.
Finding: 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 that meets all

development requirements and will not be visibly different from the other residences in the
area.
PARCEL WIDTH VARIANCE (DRC2016-0043C:
Fact: 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.
Finding: Without a reduction in the required corner parcel width of Parcel #1 of the proposed
two parcel subdivision, Parcel #1 would not meet the required 20,000 square foot minimum
parcel size required to keep horses. This in turn would restrict the keeping of horses on Parcel
#1, placing a physical hardship on the future owner of Parcel #1.
Fact: 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.
Finding: Parcel #1, of the two parcel tentative parcel map, is 2 feet — 2 inches deficient from
meeting the minimum 100 foot corner parcel width requirement. Without a reduction in the
minimum corner parcel width of Parcel #1, Parcel #2 would be under the 20,000 square foot
parcel size required to keep horses, as required by the Trails Implementation Plan.
Fact: 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.
Finding: Without a reduction in the 100 foot corner parcel width 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.
Fact: 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.
Finding: 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 size necessary to create two parcels that comply with both the
required 20,000 square foot minimum parcel size and the required 100 foot corner parcel
width. The subdivided parcels will meet the minimum 20,000 square foot parcel size
requirement to keep horses and will be of similar size to the lots or parcels in the surrounding
area.
Fact: 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.
Finding: 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 that meets all City
development requirements and will not be visibly different from the other residences in the
area.

C. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved by the Technical
Review Committee (TRC) on May 17, 2016.
D. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved by the Design Review
Committee (DRC) on May 17, 2016. The Committee was accepting of the two Variances as
the parcels were in keeping with those in the surrounding area.
E. Trails Advisory Committee: The project was reviewed by the Committee on May 11, 2016,
where an issue was raised regarding the fact that Parcel #1 was less than the 20,000 square
feet required to keep horses. The applicant increased the size of Parcel #1 to 20,224 and the
Committee approved the project at the meeting on June 8, 2016.
F. Neighborhood Meeting: On April 14, 2016, a neighborhood meeting was conducted by the
applicant at Central Park, at 11220 Base Line Road. The intent of the meeting was to invite
property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project boundaries for input related to the
project. Three residents attended the meeting who raised issues regarding easements on the
property to the north, street improvements, storm water runoff and street lights. The applicant
explained that the easements on the parcel to the north were unrelated to the project and
would not be resolved as part of the project, that the street improvements would be
constructed at the time of development of the residences on the project site, that the project
was designed to accommodate the existing storm water runoff from the north and that the
Engineering Department would determine the number and location of any new street lights.
G. Cultural Analysis: In accordance with AB52, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, the San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians were
contacted to determine interest in engaging in consultation related to the potential impact to
cultural resources as a result of the project. The City was contacted by the Soboba Band of
Luiseno Indians (letter dated June 6, 2016), stating that they had no concerns regarding
known cultural resources in the specific area that the project encompasses. Communications
were not received from the other two tribes contacted.
H. Environmental Assessment: 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 related to air quality,
biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions,
hazards and waste materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning 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, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to
adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been
prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the
project.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within
a 660-foot radius of the project site. No correspondence has been received in response to these
notices.

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated forpublic review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: SUBTPM19615; Variance DRC2015-00177 and Variance DRC2016-00434
Public Review Period Closes: July 27, 2016
Project Name: Tentative Parcel Map 19615 Project Applicant: Raymond Wang
2440 Highland Road
Upland, CA 91784
Project Location (also see attached map): Located at the northeast corner of Almond Street and
Almond Court; APN: 1074-041-01
Project Description: A subdivision of a .94 acre site into two residential parcels located within the
Very Low (VL) Residential District and within the Equestrian and Hillside Overlays. The proposed
Variance requests are to reduce the required average lot sizes and on the corner parcel to reduce
the 100-foot width requirement by 2.2 feet.
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means thatan Environmental Impact Reportwill not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
(909) 477-2847.
NOTICE
The public is invited to comment on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the
review period.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
()
()
()
(✓)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but

()
(✓)
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 at the northeast corner of Almond Street and Almond Court and is
characterized by single-family residential development to the north, south, east and west.
The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project as the subdivided
parcels will be of similar size and configuration to the existing developed parcels in the
surrounding area. Design review is required prior to approval. City standards require the
developer to underground existing and new utility lines and facilities to minimize unsightly
appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in accordance with Planning
Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution.
d) The project would increase the number of streetlights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on site plans
which require review for consistency with City standards that require shielding, diffusing,
or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area
of illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.

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 at the northeast corner of Almond Street and
Almond Court and is characterized by single-family residential development 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.
d) There are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as forest land or
timberland. Therefore no impacts would occur related of the loss or conversion of forest
land to non -forest use. Further, there are no areas within the City of Rancho Cucamonga
that are zoned as forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production.
e) The site is located at the northeast corner of Almond Street and Almond Court and is
characterized by single-family residential development to the north, south, east and west.

The nearest agricultural use is more than 1.5 miles west from the project site.
Furthermore, there are no lands within the City of Rancho Cucamonga that qualify as
forest land. Therefore, there is no potential for conversion of forest land to a non -forest
use. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project.

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 (PMio and PM2.5) are considered regional pollutants while the others
have more localized effects. In addition, the State of California has set standards for
sulfates, hydrogen sulfide (1-12S), vinyl chloride and visibility reducing particles. These
standards are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace with a
reasonable margin of safety.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga area is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under
the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The
California Clean Air Act (CCAA) provides the SCAQMD with the authority to manage
transportation activities at indirect sources. Indirect sources of pollution are generated
when minor sources collectively emit a substantial amount of pollution. Examples of this
include motor vehicles at an intersection, a mall and on highways. SCAQMD also

regulates stationary sources of pollution within a jurisdictional area. Direct emissions from
motor vehicles are regulated by the Air Resources Board (ARB).
The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions
from the second largest urban area in the United States gives the Basin the worst air
pollution problem in the nation. The Basin experiences a persistent temperature inversion
(increasing temperature with increasing altitude); this inversion (coupled with low wind
speeds) limits the vertical dispersion of air contaminants, holding them relatively near the
ground.
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) of 1970, the EPA established national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants, termed criteria pollutants:
ozone (03), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM10), fine
particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.e) microns in diameter, carbon monoxide (CO),
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and lead.
Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the Federal and State
governments have established AAQS, or criteria, for outdoor concentrations in order to
protect public health. Data collected at permanent monitoring stations are used by the
EPA to classify regions as "attainment" or "non -attainment" depending on whether the
regions met the requirements stated in the primary NAAQS. Nonattainment areas have
additional restrictions as required by the EPA. The EPA has designated the Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) responsible for ensuring the Basin's compliance with the FCAA. The South Coast
Air Basin is in Non -Attainment Status for Ozone, PM10 and PM2.e.
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 (date) was prepared by Landin & Associates (February 2, 2016)
that utilizes CalEEMod (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 is to subdivide a .94 acre parcel of land into two lots for residential purposes.
The project site is currently vacant with remnant fruit trees and non-native grasses which
will be removed for development of the proposed project. The potential emissions
associated with construction of the project are described in the following sections.

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;
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 VOCs that are similar to ROCs and are part of the Os
precursors. Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that the proposed project will
result in a maximum of approximately 1.332 Ibs of VOC per day (combined for all
construction sources) during construction. Therefore, this VOC emission is the principal
air emission and is less than the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 Ibs/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 (NCA) 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) identified in the Air Quality Impact Analysis (Landin &
Associates; February 2, 2016) 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
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
(03), and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PMio) 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.
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.

• 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

Long-term air pollutant emissions are those associated with stationary sources and mobile
sources involving any project -related changes. The proposed project would result in a net
increase in the 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.

Cumulative Impacts (Long Term/Operational Emissions)
The General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the
potential impacts to air quality based on the future build out of the City. 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) Improve thermal integrity of the buildings and reduce thermal load with
automated time clocks or occupant sensors.
14) Landscape with native and/or drought -resistant species to reduce water
consumption and to provide passive solar benefits.
15) Provide lighter color roofing and road materials and tree planting programs to
comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources MSC-01 measure.
16) Comply with the AQMP Miscellaneous Sources PRC-03, and Stationary
Sources Operations Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance and ADV-MISC to
reduce emissions of restaurant operations.
17) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
18) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-stripping.
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 4.3), continued development would contribute
to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards. The General Plan FPEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as
a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
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 nearest sensitive receptor is
Hermosa Elementary School at 10133 Wilson Avenue, which is more then .5 mile from the
project site. No impact is expected.
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.
19) All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply with
South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445, Wood Burning

e) Construction odors (Short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use
including diesel exhaust or roofing, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and
would dissipate rapidly. Operational odors (Long-term) are not typically associated with
the residential land uses. The primary odors from residential land uses are kitchen odors
from the preparation of meals; however, these odors would be minimal and not
considered to be significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

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. The site
does contain a number of fruit trees. Mitigation measures have been included to require a
nesting bird and burrowing owl survey prior to grading. With the following mitigation
measures, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
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 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.
b) The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian
habitat exists on -site, meaning the project will not have any impacts. No adverse impacts
are anticipated.
c) No wetland habitat is present on -site. As a result, project implementation would have no
impact on these resources. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
d) The City is primarily located in an urban area that does not contain large, contiguous
natural open space areas. Wildlife potentially may move through the north/south trending
tributaries in the northern portion of the City and within the Sphere of Influence. Therefore
no adverse impacts are anticipated.
e) There are no heritage trees on the project site; therefore, the proposed project is not in
conflict with any local ordinance. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
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.

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). A Cultural
Resources Assessment was prepared for the project (DCR Consulting, LLC; October 29,
2015) which included an archaeological records search at the South Central Coastal
Information Center (SCCIC), which included a review of all recorded historic and
prehistoric cultural resources, as well as a review of known cultural resources, and survey
and excavation reports generated from projects completed within one mile of the project
site. The records search found that no previous studies have assessed the project site
and no cultural resources have previously been recorded within its boundaries. The
Cultural Resources Assessment also performed an archaeological pedestrian field survey
of the project site on October 20, 2015. The field survey did not identify any cultural
resources within the project site. The report concluded that there is a low likelihood that
cultural resources will be found on the project site. No adverse impacts are anticipated.
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,
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

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 construction of infrastructure and surrounding
developments/annual discing for weed abatement. No known religious or sacred sites
exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to suggest the project site has been
used for human burials. The California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states
that if human remains are discovered on -site, no further disturbance shall occur until the
County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all
development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are
discovered on -site. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

Luiseno Indians (letter dated June 6, 2016), stating that they had no concerns regarding
known cultural resources in the specific area that the project encompasses.
Communications were not received from the other two tribes contacted. No adverse
impacts are anticipated.

passes within 2 miles south of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately
1/4 mile north of the site. These faults are both capable of producing M. 6.0-7.0
earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is

14 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to M , 8.2 earthquakes,
is 16 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking.
Adhering to the Uniform Building Code and Standard Conditions will ensure that geologic
impacts are less -than -significant.
b) The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within a designated Soil Erosion Control Area Exhibit
4.7-4 of the General Plan FPEIR. The proposed project will require the excavation,
stockpiling, and/or movement of on -site soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to
strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generates blowing
sand and dust, and creates erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily
exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust
control; however, development of this project under the General Plan would help to
reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, buildings, and
landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugitive dust mitigation measures
shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less -than -significant levels:
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil -stabilizing agent (approved
by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PMto emissions, in accordance with
SCAQMD Rule 403 or re -planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon
as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by
the City to reduce PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil off -
site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to
minimize PMIo 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 SCI 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 Ramona 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 Ramona Sandy Loam Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit
4.7-3. These soils are typically found on 9 to 15 percent slopes and drain with medium
runoff. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

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) S-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.
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 PMto, PM2.5, and SO2
which are monitored at the Fontana -Arrow Highway station. The ambient air quality in the
project area for CO, NO2, and SO2 are consistently below the relevant State and Federal
standards (based on ARB and EPA from 2007, 2008, and 2009 readings). Ozone, PMlo,
and PM2.5 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly.
Project Related Sources of GHG's — Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of
California Environmental Quality Act, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered
to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any ambient air quality
standards, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental
plans and goals of the community. However, neither the CEQA statutes, Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) guidelines, nor the draft proposed changes to the CEQA
Guidelines prescribe thresholds of significance or a particular methodology for performing
an impact analysis. Significance criteria are left to the judgment and discretion of the Lead
Agency.
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 staff's 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 Greenhouse Gas Analysis (Landin & Associates; February 2, 2016), total project
related emissions would be 11.2 MTCO2eq/year, as shown in the following table:

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 N20. CH4 is emitted during the fueling
of heavy equipment.
Based on the Greenhouse Gas Analysis (Landin & Associates; February 2, 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.
5) Construction should be timed so as not to interfere with peak -hour traffic.
6) Ridesharing and transit incentives shall be supported and encouraged for the
construction crew.
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 subdivision of a .94 acre parcel of land into 2 parcels for purpose
of developing 2 single-family residences in the future. The project 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 to public
sidewalks.
The project is consistent with the California Environmental Protection Agency Climate
Action Team proposed early action measures to mitigate climate change included in the
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 to public sidewalks. 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 Greenhouse Gas Analysis (Landin & Associates; February 2, 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

• 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.
The project involves the subdivision of the .94 acre site into two single-family residential
lots, 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
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 Greenhouse Gas Analysis (Landin & Associates; February
2, 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.

Comments:
a) Development within the City may utilize or generate hazardous materials or wastes. This
is usually associated with individual households, small business operations, and
maintenance activities like paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil or through
construction activities that would use paints, solvents, acids, curing compounds, grease,
and oils. These materials would be stored and used at individual sites. The City
participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service
Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other in the State. The
City has an Emergency Operations Plan that meets State and Federal requirements and
is in the process of updating the approved 2005 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and
handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant
impacts to a level less -than -significant. No adverse impacts are expected.
b) The proposed project does not include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels.

c) There are no schools located within 1/4 mile of the project site. The nearest school is
Hermosa Elementary School at 10133 Wilson Avenue, which is more the .5 mile from the
project site. Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. No adverse
impacts are anticipated.
d) The proposed project is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site.
Recent site inspections did not reveal the presence of discarded drums or illegal dumping
of hazardous materials. No impact is anticipated.
e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan according to the General Plan Figure
PS-7 and General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.8-1 and is not within 2 miles of a public airport.
The project site is located approximately 7 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is
offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.

g) The City has a developed roadway network that provides emergency access and
evacuation routes to existing development. New development will be located on a site that
has access to existing roadways. The City's Emergency Operation Plan, which is updated
every three years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the City of
Rancho Cucamonga in the event of a disaster. Because the project includes at least two
points of public street access and is required to comply with all applicable City codes,
including local fire ordinances, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from wind -driven fires in the Very
High Fire Hazard Severity Zone found in the northern part of the City; however, the
proposed project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
according to General Plan Figure PS-1. The project is located with the Very High Fire
Hazard Severity Zone according to General Plan Figure PS-1. The City recognizes the
risk and has adopted policies and Standard Conditions that limit uses to Very Low density
residential development and Hillside residential uses in these areas to limit property
exposed to wildland fire hazards. The project shall prepare a Fire Protection Plan to
outline appropriate measures to address fire hazards. Therefore, the following wildland
fire mitigation measure shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less -than -significant
levels:
1) The project shall comply with Chapter 7A of the California Building Code
(CBC), which includes building standards for the Wildland-Urban Interface
Fire Area. The standards call for the use of ignition -resistant materials and
design to inhibit the intrusion of flame or burning embers projected by a
vegetation fire and help reduce losses resulting from repeated cycles of
interface fire disasters.

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 (NO[) to obtain coverage under the General
Permit. The General Permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during
construction activities, including site clearance and grading:
Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that
would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent construction pollutants
from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion
from moving off -site into receiving waters.
Eliminate or reduce non -storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.

Perform inspections of all BMPs.
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges.
A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an
NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP. To
comply with the NPDES, the project's construction contractor will be required to prepare
an SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)
for post -construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has
submitted a WQMP exhibit, prepared by A.I.S. Civil Engineering & Land Surveying (May
16, 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.

Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that
this has been obtained (i.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification
Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under
the NPDES General Construction Permit.
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.

increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off -site. No impacts are
anticipated.
f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary
increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm
event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is for new development,
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 A.I.S. Civil Engineering & Land Surveying
(May 16, 2016) to reduce construction pollutants from entering the storm
drain system to the maximum extent practical.
g) The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General

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

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

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 expected.
b) The normal operating uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce
ground borne vibrations. Construction related vibration may create short term noise and
vibration impacts. A condition of approval (See comment D below) limits the times of day
way construction may occur. With the mitigation measure listed under "Comment D"
below, the impacts will be less than significant.
c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. Because the
project will not significantly increase traffic as analyzed in Section 16
Transportation/Traffic; it will likely not increase ambient noise levels within the vicinity of
the project. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
d) The General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.12) indicates that during a construction phase, on -site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will
generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to
mitigate the short-term noise impacts:

2) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified
in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at the property line.
Developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as
specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050. Monitoring at other times
may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their
findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels
exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the
Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then
construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance
with above noise standards or halted.
3) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first
phase.
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on -site
construction equipment but do not address the potential impacts because of the transport
of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be
required:
4) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed
100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the
developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction
traffic haul routes and include appropriate noise mitigation measures. To the
extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive
land uses or residential dwellings.
e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport. The Project is located approximately 7 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is
offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.
The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west
of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.
13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project.
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either

Comments:
a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population
growth. The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will include the
future construction of 2 single-family residences. Although the project will increase the
population growth in the area, there will be a less than significant impact as the project is
consistent with the underlying Zoning and General Plan Designation. The density was
analyzed as part of the build out in the General Plan FPEIR. Construction activities at the
site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. No significant
impacts are anticipated.
b) The project site is vacant. Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of
housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected
c) The project site is vacant. Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of
housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected.
14. 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:

Comments:
a) The site is located at the northeast corner of Almond Street and Almond Court and would
be served by Fire Station #177, 1.1 miles southwest from the project site. The project will
not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or
cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new
facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and Fire Codes will
be placed on the project to lessen the future demand and impacts to fire services. No
impacts are anticipated.
b) The increase in residential units may lead to an increase in calls for service. Although
there may be an increase in calls, additional police protection is not required as the
addition of the project will not change the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and

will not have a substantial increase in property to be patrolled as the project site is within
an area that is regularly patrolled.
c) The Alta Loma School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the
project area. Both school districts have been notified regarding the proposed
development. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the
school impact fees. With this standard mitigation, impacts to the School Districts are not
considered significant.
e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services.
According to the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.14), there will be a projected increase in
library space demand but with the implementation of standard conditions the increase in
Library Services would be mitigated to less than significant impact. Additionally, the Paul
A. Biane Library has an additional 14,000 square foot shell of vacant library space that is
planned for future Library use. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan
for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Therefore no adverse impact
is expected.
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, Heritage Community Park, is located 1.27 miles southwest 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.

Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 26 vehicle trips daily. The proposed
project includes the future development of two single-family residences. The Rancho
Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each single-family residence will generate 16
trips daily. As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.16), continued development
will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts
evaluated. The project is in an area that is mostly developed with street improvements
existing or included in the project design. The project will not create a substantial
increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections. The
project site will be required to provide street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk)
along the street frontage of the site per City roadway standards. In addition, the City has
established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to
issuance of building.permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to
support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts are anticipated.
b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each single-family residence will
generate 1 two-way peak hour trip daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino County

voters passed the Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose
appropriate fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation
improvement projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a
Comprehensive Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees.
As a result, the San Bernardino County Congestion Management Agency waived the
Congestion Management Plan (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis reporting requirement. This
project will be required, as a condition of approval, to pay the adopted transportation
development fee prior to issuance of building permit. The project is in an area that is
mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The project will not negatively
impact the level of service standards on adjacent arterials. 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 7 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport, the site is offset north of
the flight path and will not change air traffic patterns. 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 design of the project will include space to store a bicycle to help reduce vehicle trips.
No impacts are anticipated.

Comments:
a) The proposed project is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by
the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 and RP-4 treatment plants. The RP-1
capacity is sufficient to exceed the additional development within the western and
southern areas of the City. The RP-4 treatment plant has a potential ultimate capacity of
28 mgd which is considered more than adequate to capacity to treat all increases in
wastewater generation for buildout of the General Plan. 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 project is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water
supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this project. No impacts are
anticipated.
e) 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. No
impacts are anticipated.
f) Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes
the refuse at a permitted landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City's solid waste
disposal needs. No impacts are anticipated.
g) This project complies with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations regarding
solid waste. The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction
procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

18. 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. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely
that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site. 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 significant adverse effects to Aesthetics,
Agriculture and Forest Resources, Air Quality, Climate Change and Mineral Resources.
Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not
reduce impacts to less -than -significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan
Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section
15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing
mixed -use projects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural
open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no
further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required.
C) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies
construction -related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant
impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels.

PROGRAM
Project File No.: SUBTPM19615; Variance DRC2015-00177 and Variance DRC2016-00434
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above -listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components - This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management - The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the Planning Director, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures - The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

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. Raymond Wang filed an application for the approval of Tentative Parcel Map
SUBTPM19615, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the
subject Tentative Parcel Map request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 14th day of September 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said
hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
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 September 14, 2016, 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 190 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 a single-family residential development within
the Very Low (VL) District; and
d. The applicant is requesting to subdivide (SUBTPM19615) the 0.94-acre projectsite
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 20,224 square feet and Parcel #2 is
20,006 square feet. The proposed 2 parcel subdivision results in an average parcel size of 20,115
C,D,E 95

square feet. A Variance (DRC2015-00177) has been submitted requesting a 2,385 square foot
reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size. A second Variance (DRC2016-
00434) has been requested to reduce the required corner lot width of Parcel #1 by 2 feet - 2 inches;
and
g. Each parcel is a minimum 20,000 square feet in size and provides a location for a
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. The tentative parcel map is consistentwith the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans. Included as part of this application are requests for Variances for
reductions in the required average lot size (DRC2015-00177) and corner lot width (DRC2016-
00434). The project complies with all other General Plan and Development Code requirements for
the Very Low (VL) Land Use and Zoning Districts.
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map will be consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans with the approval of the related
Variances for average lot size (DRC2015-00177) and corner lot width (DRC2016-00434). The
project site is being subdivided for residential purposes and will be of similar size and density to the
single-family residential development in the surrounding area.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The project is
designed to conform to all of the related development criteria of the Very Low (VL) District, except
for average lot size and the corner lot width of Parcel #1. Variances are included as part of the
project for the reduction in the average lot size (DRC2015-00177) and the corner lot width of Parcel
#1 (DRC2016-00434). The project site is surrounded by similar residential development to the north,
south, east and west and is accessed by an adjacent public street and will connect to existing utility
services.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The Initial Study prepared for
the project includes mitigation measures that reduce any potential impacts to humans or wildlife to
less than significant;
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
project site is being subdivided for residential purposes and will not include the use of hazardous
materials that would cause public health problems;
f. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with any easement acquired
by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. The subject property does not contain any easements that would limit access to or use
of the project site.
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
C,D,E 96
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48

will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt 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
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
C,D,E 100
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-48
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19615
RAYMOND WANG
September 14, 2016
Page 7
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 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 oranimal fossils) are encountered
before or during grading, the developerwill 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 transferto 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.

RESOLUTION NO. 16-49
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 OVERLAYAND 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. 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 14th day of September 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said
hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above -referenced public hearing on September 14, 2016, 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 190 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 20,224 square feet and Parcel #2 is
C,D,E 118
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-49
VARIANCE DRC2015-00177
RAYMOND WANG

Page 2
20,006 square feet. The proposed two parcel subdivision results in an average parcel size of 20,115
square feet. A Variance (DRC2015-00177) has been submitted requesting a 2,385 square foot
reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size. A second Variance (DRC2016-
00434) has been requested to reduce the required corner parcel width of Parcel #1 by 2 feet - 2
inches; and
g. Each parcel is a minimum 20,000 square foot size and provides a location for a 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 would be left with a parcel that is much larger than the
minimum required 20,000 square foot parcel size.
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 and would be left with a parcel much larger
than those 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 much larger than the lots in 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 that meets all development requirements 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
C,D,E 119
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-49
VARIANCE DRC2015-00177
RAYMOND WANG
September 14, 2016
Page 3
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 ("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 furtherfinds
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 forthe 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.
Planning Department

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
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.

RESOLUTION NO. 16-50
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
DRC2016-00434, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED CORNER
PARCEL WIDTH FROM 100 FEET TO 97.80 FEET 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. Raymond Wang filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2016-00434, 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 14th day of September 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said
hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals,
Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above -referenced public hearing on September 14, 2016, 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 190 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 20,224 square feet and Parcel #2 is

20,006 square feet. The proposed two parcel subdivision results in an average parcel size of 20,115
square feet. A Variance (DRC2015-00177) has been submitted requesting a 2,385 square foot
reduction in the required 22,500 square foot average parcel size. A second Variance (DRC2016-
00434) has been requested to reduce the required corner parcel width of Parcel #1 by 2 feet - 2
inches; and
g. Each parcel is a minimum 20,000 square foot parcel size and provides a location
for a 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 a reduction in the required corner parcel width of Parcel #1 of the proposed two parcel
subdivision, Parcel #1 would not meet the required 20,000 square foot minimum parcel size required
to keep horses. This in turn would restrict the keeping of horses on Parcel #1, placing a physical
hardship on the future owner of Parcel #1.
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. Parcel #1, of the two parcel tentative parcel map, is 2 feet — 2 inches
deficient from meeting the minimum 100-foot corner parcel width requirement. Without a reduction in
the minimum corner parcel width of Parcel #1, Parcel #2 would be under the 20,000 square foot
parcel size required to keep horses, as required by the Trails Implementation Plan.
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 100-foot corner parcel width requirement, the applicant would be unable
to subdivide the project site, leaving a parcel that is much larger than the lots or parcels in 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
size necessaryto create two parcels that comply with both the required 20,000 square foot minimum
parcel size and the required 100-foot corner parcel width. The subdivided parcels will meet the
minimum 20,000 square foot parcel size requirement to keep horses and will be of similar size to the
lots or parcels 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 that meets all City development requirements 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 thatthe 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 hereby 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
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

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

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.
