for the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference,
based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with
the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project
would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public
comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
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; and
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-49

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 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-49
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00006 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES
October 26, 2016
Page 6
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 the young.
If nests are discovered, they shall be avoided through the
establishment of an appropriate buffer setback, as determined by a
qualified wildlife biologist. The temporary"no construction" area shall
be maintained until the nest has completed its cycle, as determined
by a qualified wildlife biologist. Once the nest cycle is complete and
all nestlings have fledged and have left the nest, construction in the
area may resume.
2) Perform a Burrowing Owl Survey that is in conformance with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl
Mitigation and submit the written report outlining the findings to the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Planning
Department within 30 days of groundbreaking activity. The survey
shall include a habitat assessment, survey and impact analysis. The
Burrowing Owl Survey shall follow the following protocol:
• Burrowing Owl Survey methodology shall be based on
Appendix D (Breeding and Non-breeding Season 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-49
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00006 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES
October 26, 2016
Page 8
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 Archaeological Information Center for
permanent archiving.
3) The applicant shall contact the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
to discuss monitoring of the project during ground disturbance, and
any trenching below the initial grade level, to ensure that cultural
resources that may be encountered during ground disturbances are
protected and preserved for study. The applicant shall submit the
results of this consultation to the City prior to issuance of permits for
grading of the site.
Geology and Soils
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent
(approved by SCAQMD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,o
emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 or re-planted with
drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible.
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule
established by the City to reduce PM,o 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 PM,o 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 PM,o emissions.

commercial panels, which are lined with sound absorbing material to
achieve the maximum shielding effect possible. To be effective, the
length of the barrier should be greater than its height. The noise
source should not be visible and the barrier should be located as
close as possible to either the noise source or the receiver.
12) Locate construction equipment as far from the north and east
property line as possible. The distance between a noise source and
noise receiver can be considered a barrier as well. Doubling the
distance from the noise source would lower noise levels by
approximately 6 dBA.
Interior
13) All units facing roadways will require a windows closed condition with
upgraded windows. All first and second patios and balconies will
require a minimum noise barrier of 5.5 feet. All third and fourth floor
patios and balconies will require a minimum noise barrier of 5.0 feet.
14) For proper acoustical performance, all exterior windows and doors,
and sliding glass doors must have a positive seal and leaks/cracks
must be kept to a minimum.
15) To prevent sound leaks the following shall be provided:
• On concrete slab, the first layer of 5/8" gypsum board on the
unit side should be sealed top and bottom with resilient caulk,
as well as around the junction boxes.
• Window rough-in seams should be no greater than 1/4", and all
seams should be caulked with resilient caulking.
• Seal, caulk, gasket or weather-strip all joints and seams to
eliminate air leakage through these assemblies. Includes
around window and doorframes, at penetrations through walls,
and all other openings in the building envelope.

time on Sunday or a national holiday.
17) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards
specified in Development Code Section 17.66.050, as measured at
the property line. Developers 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.
18) 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.

The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: Development Review DRC2016-00006, Minor Exception DRC2016-00455, and
Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00007.
Public Review Period Closes: October 26, 2016
Project Name: The Vintner on Foothill Project Applicant: Chuck Buquet/Charles Joseph
Associates
Project Location (also see attached map): The northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Hermosa Avenue—APN 1077-601-13 and 1077-601-14.
Project Description: Development of a 4-story, 182-unit multi-family apartment complex(including
—live-work units) on 4.78 acres in the Mixed Use (MU) District.
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 that an Environmental Impact Report will 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.
