spaces in the Quakes overflow parking lot, for a total of 475 parking spaces.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan land use
designation for the project site is Park (P). The General Plan states that parklands include traditional
neighborhood-level and community-level parks, as well as multi-purpose recreational oriented lands such
as the Epicenter and Central Park. The proposed facility is an extension of the adult sports park on the
west side of Rochester Avenue and fulfills the General Plan's intent for the Park (P) land use
designation; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located. The project site is within the Industrial Park (IP) and
the General Industrial (GI) Districts. The Development Code permits public sports facilities within the
Industrial Park (IP) and General Industrial (GI) Districts under the Community Centers/Civic Uses
category; and
c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The project conforms to all related criteria of the Development Code for the
Industrial Park (IP) District; and
d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity. The Initial Study Part II outlines potential environmental impacts related to the project and
identifies project specific mitigation measures that reduce these impacts to less-than-significant.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written
and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission
finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based
upon the following findings and determinations:
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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 16-56
DRC2016-00170 —CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA

Page 3
significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was
prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent
to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record before
it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii) that,
based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have
a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigated
Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission.
Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation
measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore adopts the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's
recommendation 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.

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
