None Item B -1 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES December 9,2015 \NGHo PagG 2 lUGAMONGA HI.Items for discussion A.PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2015-00897-INFINITY DESIGN UA -Preliminary site plan and architectural review of a 104 room hotel to replace an existing Carrows restaurant on a 1.41 acre project site located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard and east of Mayten Avenue in the Industrial Park (IP)Zoning District at 11669 Foothill Boulevard;APN;0229-012-48. Tabe van der Zwaag,Associate Planner gave a brief overview of the parking requirements and noted that there isa shared parking agreement with the development tothe south.Hesaidthe project FAR isatthe threshold andthe floor plan will haveto be adjusted to meet the 100%requirement.He noted the materials used on the building such as "wood"siding,metal trim,cantilevered features and a cornice along portions of the roof edge.He said from the first conceptual plans,the applicants improved the design per staffs suggestions.He said staff believes the front tower element is too narrow and needs to be wider to be in proportion with therest ofthe building and an additional cornice element could beadded along the roofline.Hesaidstaffbelieves this is a good,strong pre-application submittal. The team for the applicants included Ron Underwood,Project Assistant,the owner of Carrows,Shahin Shaath,JeffMeiter,Value Engineering and Gary Comeaux,Regional General Manager of Twenty Four Seven Hotels. Gary Comeaux explained the parking needs at the Ontario Mills location are lower because of their shared parking and the useof services suchas a free shuttle toand from Ontario Airport and Uber.He said they believe the parking requirement is too high for the proposed location as they have seen a significant decline in parking needs at the Ontario location and that 95%of the time it is adequate. Mr.Meiter notedthatsome parking would be lost ifthe building is re-oriented to the rear. Mr.van der Zwaag explained what the cantilevered frames look like.There was discussion regarding the possibility ofmoving the structure closer to the street.He said staff,the Planning Director and the City Manager would prefer itbe closer to the street as this is more in keeping with our future vision for Foothill Boulevard.Mr.van der Zwaag commented on access concerns and noted that the existing median will stay in place and that access can be taken at Mayten,the existing driveway at Carrows,from Milliken through the Lowe's parking lot and also at Millenium Court to the south of Lowe's.Itwasnotedthatsome parking would be lost ifthe building is moved/turned around. Candyce Burnett,Planning Director noted that if the building is moved closer to the street they would need a General Plan Amendment and the building would have to be flipped around.She said it would create logistics issues with their pool location and that Item B -2 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES December 9,2015 HO Page 3 [QNGA the entrance porte cochere would be moved to the rear which may alter their business operation.She said that ifthe Commission is ofthe opinion that the building should be moved closer to the street,then we should aim for that.It was noted that a General Plan Amendment would be needed if this option is pursued. Commissioner Fletcher asked to see the map showing the other buildings to get a better idea of the overall master plan layout. Commissioner Munoz said he likes the look of it and it is better than the standard Hampton Inn. He said he likes the horizontal and vertical movement and materials used.He said the design is a good start and a wider tower element would be good ifit is a porte cochere.He said he has no problem withthe current setback and noted that a building 5 stories high can be imposing.He asked Rob Ball, Fire Marshall to comment on any safety concerns if the building is reversed and placed closer to Foothill Boulevard. Rob Ball,Fire Marshall commented that acceptable fire-fighting access can be achieved with either location and/or orientation of the building. Commissioner Fletcher said the design looks good and he likes the materials and design interest achieved with the variation in the wall planes.He said he would like to see cornices and more variation on the roof plane.He said parking may still be an issue.He said he liked the new elevations much better than the first drawings he saw. Commissioner Macias concurred with the architectural recommendation.He said he could live with either placement choice of the building whether it be in the current location or moved closer to Foothill Boulevard. Vice Chairman Oaxaca said he is also pleased and said he thought the tower element should be more prominent to draw focus to the entrance.He said with respect to the positioning of the building, ifit could be closer the street it might be better for the future street scene.He said parking would be bigger consideration for him with respect to when we have large community events and the demand is higher. Chairman Wimberly said his research confirms this design is much better than what is out there now. He asked for clarity regarding Route 66 requirements.He commented that in that area this will be a prominent part of the street scene because of the height. Mr. Van der Zwaag noted that the hotel applicant will be required to put in improvements related to the Foothill Boulevard Visual Improvement Plan.

Item C-G2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00555,DRC2015-00165,DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619,AND DRC2015-00174 - (MERRILL GARDENS AT RANCHO CUCAMONGA) - SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 3 D.Parking Calculations: Number of Number of Number of Parking Spaces Spaces Type of Use Beds Ratio Required Provided Residential Care 130 1 per 4 beds 33 64 Facility ANALYSIS: A.Background: The projectsite isthe mostlyvacant portion ofa property currentlydeveloped with the Highland Avenue Community Church and School,which is located on the north side of Highland Avenue,between Archibald Avenue and Hermosa Avenue,The overall site is 9.5 acres.The existing parcel will be subdivided into 2 parcels:Parcel 1 is a proposed 4.07 acre parcel forthe Merrill Gardens facility,and Parcel 2 is a proposed 5.43 acre parcel forthe church. Along the north boundary ofthe projectsite the church has several recreational amenities (i.e., playground,basketball court,and shade structures)that will be removed to accommodate the proposed project.Access to the site is by way of two existing driveways on Highland Avenue; both of these driveways are on the easterly half ofthe project site adjacent to the church. The easterly driveway will remain in place and the westerly driveway will be closed and a joint use driveway between the Merrill Gardens facility and the church will be developed at the approximate midpoint ofthe Highland Avenue street frontage (Exhibit A). B.Development Review DRC2015-00165 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2015-00166:The proposed Merrill Gardens Residential Care Facility will provide for the development of a three- level,96-unit,Assisted Living building totaling 111,684 square feet and a one-level,16-unit, Memory Care building totaling 10,870 square feet (Exhibits B &D).The Assisted Living and Memory Care buildings will be located at the south and north sides of the project site, respectively. The project was designed so that the buildings massing,finish, materials, and heightare compatible with the existing residential character ofthe surrounding neighborhood. The project design reflects a contemporary Spanish style and character and includes an earth- toned stucco finish,multi-paned windows,clerestory windows,decorative balconies with metal railing,decorative tile,clay tile roof,hip and gable roofs,tower elements, and composite trellis (Exhibit I).The maximum building height ofthe Assisted Living building will be approximately 34feet and Memory Care building will be approximately 24feet. The overall building height for the Assisted Living building,although designed as a three level building (basement,and levels 1 and 2),maintains two-story massing as the building follows the topography ofthe site along the front and side elevations, and the Memory Care building is a one-story structure. The two- storyAssisted Living building isconsistent in height with the adjacent two-story multi-family units to the west and the single-story Memory Care building is lower than the adjacent two-story residential buildings to the north,butisconsistent in height with the existing church buildings to the east. The project proposes an enhanced streetscape with large tree plantings,terraced planting area, colored concrete stairway,and masonry retaining walls,as well as landscaping adjacentto both structures and along the perimeter of the project site (Exhibit G). There will be a large rectangular landscaped courtyard of approximately 17,000 square feet in the center of the Item C-G3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00555,DRC2015-00165,DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619,AND DRC2015-00174 - (MERRILL GARDENS AT RANCHO CUCAMONGA) - SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 4 Assisted Living building. An additional landscaped courtyard of approximately 2,400 square feet will be at the rear of the Memory Care building. Additionally,raised planter beds with areas for planting of seasonable vegetables will be located to the east of the Assisted Living building. Other landscape features include a dry cobble stream bed,terraced landing areas with seating and arched trellis,large accent trees,shrub plantings,potted accent plants,and an enhanced entry landscape area.Perimeter walls include a six (6) foot high combination block wall with galvanized steel guardrail above,and an eight (8)foot high combination retaining wallwith green screen fencing around the entire perimeter ofthe Memory Care rear yard area (Exhibits D&G). Parking for the facility will be located between the Assisted Living and Memory Care buildings; a total of 64 parking spaces will be provided, and the principal entrance for both buildings will face the parking lot.The Assisted Living building will provide a total of 114 beds,based on a unit mix of 19 studio,59 1-bedroom,and 18 2-bedroom units,and the Memory Care building will provide 16 1-bedroom units, for a total of 130 beds within the entire facility.Parking is required at a ratio of 1 parking space for each 4 beds,or a total of 33 parking spaces;the project proposes a total of 64 parking spaces (Exhibit B). Improvements proposed on the Church parcel include a redesign of the parking lot adjacent to Highland Avenue,and a relocation of the existing westerly driveway to a shared driveway for the Church and Merrill Gardens facility.The resulting 5.43 acre parcel for the church will conform with all applicable development standards. C.Tentative Parcel Map SUBTT19619:The existing parcel will be subdivided into 2 parcels: Parcel 1 is a proposed 4.07 acre parcel for the Merrill Gardens facility,and Parcel 2 is a proposed 5.43 acre parcel for the church (Exhibit C).The proposed Tentative Parcel Map conforms to all residential development standards for lot dimensions,and lot size applicable to the subdivision of property in the Low (L)Residential District. D.Development Code Amendment DRC2015-00555:The proposed Development Code Amendment will amend Table 17.30.030-1 to permit Residential Care Facilities (RCF) in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM)Residential Districts,subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Currently,RCF's are permitted in the Medium (M),Medium High (MH),and High (H)Residential Districts, and the Mixed Use (MU)District,subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.RCF's are not permitted in the Very Low (VL), Low (L),and Low- Medium (LM)Residential Districts (Exhibit K). The Development Code Amendment also proposes the following amendment to the Allowed Use Description of RCF's under Section 17.32.020(A)(16).Proposed changes shown are in bold italics. 16.Residential Care Facility.Consistent with the definitions of state law, a residential care facility provides 24-hour nonmedical care for more than six persons 18 years of age or older, or emancipated minors,with chronic,life- threatening illness in need of personal services,protection,supervision, assistance,guidance,or training essential for sustaining the activities of daily living or for the protection of the individual.This classification includes. but is not limited to,rest homes,residential care facilities for the elderly, adult residential facilities,wards of the juvenile court,and other facilities Item C-G4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00555,DRC2015-00165.DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619,AND DRC2015-00174 - (MERRILL GARDENS AT RANCHO CUCAMONGA) - SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 5 licensed by the State of California.Convalescent homes,nursing homes, and similar facilities providing medical care are included under the definition of Medical Services,Extended Care.When located in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM)Residential Districts,a Residential Care Facility shall maintain a minimum 3.0 acre project area. Prior to the 2012 comprehensive update of the City's Development Code,RCF's were conditionally permitted in the Low-Medium (LM) to High (H)Residential Districts,but were restricted to the Medium (M) to High (H)Residential Districts upon adoption.Due to the limited availability of suitable vacant land in the Medium High (H)and High (H)Residential Districts, the applicant is requesting to also permit RCF's in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM) Residential Districts,subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.In order to provide sufficient area to accommodate project improvements,and minimize the potential impacts to existing established residential areas,staff recommends establishing a minimum 3.0 acre project size for RCF's in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM)Residential Districts.Using the 3.0 acre minimum project size staff has identified 13 existing vacant,or under developed areas, Citywide that could accommodate a RCF;however,this would not include the consolidation of existing parcels under 3.0 acres to meet the 3.0 acre minimum project size.This change would not affect land use regulations for the Etiwanda Specific Plan,Etiwanda North Specific Plan, Terra Vista Community Plan,or the Victoria Community Plan. E. Minor Exception:A related Minor Exception DRC2015-001178 will be reviewed by Staff following the Planning Commission's action on the project.The following Facts and Findings are provided for reference only and will be used by the Planning Director in her review of the Minor Exception. When combination retaining and garden walls are proposed,wall height is measured from the mid-point of the retaining wall to the top of the garden wall.Walls up to 6 feet in height are permitted,walls up to 8 feet in height are subject to approval of a Minor Exception.The Minor Exception request is necessary to address wall height increases in two locations.A wall height increase for up to an 8-foot tall combination retaining wall and garden wall is necessary for security purposes around the Memory Care rear patio enclosure.Additionally,a wall height increase for up to an 8-foot tall combination retaining wall and garden wall is necessary along the project west boundary due to grade differences between the project site and the existing grade along the Flood Control Channel.The design of the walls along the west project boundary include a masonry retaining wall, with stucco finish, up to 5 feet in height,with either a wrought iron or cable rail fence above.Walls surrounding the Memory Care rear patio area include a 2 foot high masonry wall, with stucco finish,and a 6 foot high green screen fencing above.The facts support the necessary findings for a Minor Exception,which are required by the City's Development Code. Fact:The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific plan or Development Agreement. Finding:The proposed wall height increases are necessary due to a grade difference between the project site and existing adjacent properties and is consistent with the residential nature of the Development District in which the project site is located.The additional wall height will provide privacy and security between the adjacent yard areas and neighboring project sites. Item C-G5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00555,DRC2015-00165,DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619,AND DRC2015-00174 - (MERRILL GARDENSAT RANCHO CUCAMONGA)- SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 6 Fact: The proposed development Is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the surrounding area. Finding:The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding land uses as the project site is within the existing Low (L)Residential District,which permits the development of residential structures.Additionally,there are residential developments to the north (existing single-family residential),west (existing multi-family residential), and east (existing single-family residential). Combination retaining and garden wall heights over 6 feet are common where there is a grade difference between project sites and neighboring properties. Fact: The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s)is necessary to allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires ofthe communityand/or to accommodate unique site conditions. Finding:Due to variation in topography along the west project boundary there is up to a 5 foot grade difference between the existing and proposed grade at various locations.The additional wall heightalong the west property line will allow the projectto maintaina consistent finish grade forthe proposed projectsite. The additional wall height around the Memory Care building will allowthe applicant to maintain resident security inthe rear patio enclosure. Fact: The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district, and will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious properties or improvements in the vicinity. Finding:The approval of a Minor Exception is appropriate for proposed wall height increases that would ensure privacy for both properties when there is a minor grade difference between adjacent properties. F.Tree Removal Permit DRC2015-00174:There are thirty-five (35)trees located on the project site, none of which are heritage trees as defined in Section 17.16.080(C)of the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code.The non-heritage trees include:eleven (11)Western Sycamore {Platnus racemose),seven (7)London Plane {Platnus acerifolia),ten (10)Evergreen Ash {Fraxinus uhdei), two (2) Carob {Ceratonia silique),two (2) Red Gum {EucalyptusSection Exsertaria),two (2) Brisbane Box {Tristania conferta), and one (1)Crape Myrtle [Lagerstroemia indica)not meeting the minimum heightand diameter requirements ofthe DevelopmentCode. The Arboricultural Tree Survey (LSA,November 25, 2014), identifiesthat although some ofthe trees appear healthy,theirlocations conflict with proposed improvements,they are notsuitable for relocation, and most are available as replacement plantings through most commercial nurseries.The Landscape Plan demonstrates that the thirty-five (35)non-heritage trees removed as part ofthis project will be replaced with a variety of 36-inch box,24-inch box, and 15-gallon size trees.Based on Development Code standards for tree plantings a total of 183 trees are required for the project, and the Landscape Plan (Exhibit G)proposes planting 210 trees throughout the project site. G.Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was conducted to gather input and comments from the owners of the surrounding properties within660 feet of the project site. This meeting was held at the Highland Avenue Community Church on May 14,2015.No property owners Item C-G6 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2015-00555,DRC2015-00165,DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619,AND DRC2015-00174 - (MERRILL GARDENS AT RANCHO CUCAMONGA)- SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 7 attended the meeting;however,several members of the church congregation attended and asked questions regarding the timing of construction,access,parking, etc. H.Design Review Committee:The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Oaxaca,Fletcher,and Granger)on September 15, 2015.The Committee recommended approval of the project. I.Environmental Assessment:Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines,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 aesthetics, agricultural resources,air quality,biological resources,cultural resources,geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions,hydrology and water quality,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 plus radius of the project site.Staff has not received any comments regarding the Pilect.proposed Respectfi ubmitted.

Development Code Amendment DRC2015-00555 will permit Residential Care Facilities in the Low (L) and Low-Medium (LM)Residential Districts subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.Residential Care Facilities are currently permitted in the Medium (M), Medium-High (H), and High (H)Residential Districts subject to the approval of a ltemC-G53 Initial Study for DCA DRC2015-00555 DR DRC2015-00165,CUP DRC2015-00166.SUBTPM19619 Issues and Supporting Information Sources: City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 8 Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact Conditional Use Permit.Residential Care Facilities in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM) Residential Districts will require a minimum project area of 3 acres to ensure there is sufficient area to accommodate all improvements (e.g.,building,parking,and landscaping improvements).The adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the City of any project located on other parcels within the City.When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the City,the impact (if any)to air quality caused by those projects will be evaluated and,if necessary,the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. 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 (O3),carbon monoxide (CO),nitrogen dioxide (NO2).sulfur dioxide (SO2),coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM10),fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5)microns in diameter and lead.Among these pollutants,ozone and particulate matter (PM10 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 (H2S), 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 (O3).coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM10),fine particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM2.5)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 PM2.5.

As prescribed by SCAQMD,an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (December 2014)was prepared by LSA that utilizes GalEEMod (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. Development Code Amendment DRG2015-00555 will permit Residential Gare Facilities in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM)Residential Districts subject to the approval of a Gonditional Use Permit.Residential Gare Facilities are currently permitted in the Medium (M),Medium-High (H), and High (H)Residential Districts subject to the approval of a Gonditional Use Permit.Residential Gare Facilities in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM) Residential Districts will require a minimum project area of 3 acres to ensure there is sufficient area to accommodate all improvements (e.g.,building,parking,and landscaping improvements).The adoption of the amendment does not preclude the review by the Gity of any project located on other parcels within the Gity.When the applications for those projects are submitted for review by the Gity,the impact (if any)to air quality caused by those projects will be evaluated and,if necessary,the applicable mitigation measures will be implemented. Short Term (Construction):Project Emissions and Impacts The project proposes an amendment to the Development Gode to permit Residential Gare Facilities in the Low (L)and Low-Medium (LM)Residential Districts subject to the approval of a Gonditional Use Permit and the development of a Residential Gare Facility including a 3-level,96-unit,Assisted Living building totaling 111,684 square feet and a one-level,16- unit.Memory Gare building totaling 10,870 square feet on 4.07 acres.The existing parcel will be subdivided into 2 parcels; Parcel 1 is a proposed 4.07 acre parcel for the Merrill Gardens facility,and Parcel 2 is a proposed 5.43 acre parcel for the existing church.The potential emissions associated with.construction of the project are described in the following sections. ltemC-G55 Initial Study for DCA DRC2015-00555 DR DRC2015-00165,CUP DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 10 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially Significant With Mitigation Than Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Rev 9-29-15 Summary of Peak Construction Emissions (Emissions Summary of Overall Construction with Best Available Control Measures) Construction Phase Total Regional Pollutant Emissions (Ibs/davl VOC NOx CO SOx Fugitive PM,o Exhaust PM,o Fugitive PMi, Exhaust PIVI2J Demolition 4.6 49 38 0.044 0.4 2.5 0.084 2.3 Site Preparation 5.3 57 44 0.042 7.2 3.1 3.9 2.8 Gradin!!3.9 41 28 0.032 2.7 2.3 1.4 2.1 Buildins Construction A.2 32 26 0.041 0.98 2.1 0.26 2.0 Architectural Coating 8.4 2.7 3.0 0.0052 0.18 0.22 0.047 0.22 Pavine 1.9 IS 14 0.021 0.22 1.1 0.059 1.0 Peak Daily Emissions 13 57 44 0;046 10 6.7 SCAOMD Thresholds 75 100 550 150 ISO 55 Significant Emissions?No No No No No No Source LSA Associales.Inc.(November 2014).

Architectural Coatings Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCs and are part of the O3 precursors.Based on the proposed project,it is estimated that the proposed project will result in a maximum of approximately 8.4 lbs 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 lbs/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 SCAQIVID 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. Naturallv 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 (NOA)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 inthe AirQuality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (LSA, December 2014)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.

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 IVIodel (URBEMIS7G) estimates in Table 4.3-3 of the General Plan (FPEIR).Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2),Ozone (O3), and Particulate Matter (Pl\/l2.5 and PM10)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. This project would amend the Development Code to permit Residential Care Facilities in the Low (L)and Low-IVIedium (LM)Residential Districts subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit to support the construction of a 3-level,96-unit,Assisted Living building totaling 111,684 square feet and a 1-level,16-unit,Memory Care building totaling 10,870 square feet on 4.07 acres.Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (December 2014),no short-term,operational impacts would occur as a result of the project. Because the project would result in minimal emissions that do not exceed any thresholds of significance,the project's contribution to cumulative impacts is also considered minimal. 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) Ail 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.

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) Ifany 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.

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians requested additional information about the project site to determine ifthe area is sensitive for tribal cultural resources and if consultation is necessary.Staff contacted the their representative,informed them due the fact that the site is relatively small,had been heavily disturbed,and was surrounded by existing improvements (infrastructure and residential development)the City did not require a Cultural Resources Assessment.Staff indicated that mitigation measures relating to cultural resources and paleontological resources would be imposed. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians requested on-site monitoring during initial ground disturbances and any trenching below that level in order to protect their resources.To address this request,the following mitigation shall apply: 2)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 prehistoric archaeological resources that may be encountered during grading,and trenching,are protected or 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.

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 "IceAge" 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: 3) Ifany 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 Rev 9-29-15 Item C-G68 Initial Study for DCA DRC2015-00555 DR DRC2015-00165.CUP DRC2015-00166,SUBTPM19619 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 23 Issues and Supporting Information Sources; Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact d) Rev 9-29-15 findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (I.e.,paleontologlcal monitoring)that may be appropriate.Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate,the program must Include,but not be limited to,the following measures: •Assign a paleontologlcal 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.

The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development.The site has been previously disrupted during construction of the church on site,the construction of surrounding infrastructure and surrounding developments,and 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.

The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Anawindconditions during September to April,which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion problems.Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts ofwindblown 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 PMio 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 PMio 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 PMio 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 SOI 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 Hanford Coarse Sandy Loam (HaC) Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3.No adverse impacts are anticipated.

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 (°F) 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 PM10,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,PM10, and PM2.5 levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly.

Proiect Related Sources of GHG's -Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of California Environmental QualityAct, Appendix G, a project would normally be considered to have a significant effect on air quality ifthe 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 ofthe community. However, neither the CEQA statutes,OfficeofPlanning 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 MTC02e per year is based upon South Coast Air Quality Management District staffs proposed GHG screening threshold for stationary sources emissions for non-industrial projects,as described inthe SCAQMD's Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources,Rules and Plans. Project related GHG's wouldinclude emissions fromdirect and indirect sources.Based on the AirQuality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (LSA,December 2014),total project related emissions would be 850 MTC02eq/year,as shown in the following table: Sotirce Pollutant Emissions fMT/vcar') Bio-COj NBio-COi Total COi CH,NjO COje I Construction Emissions II (amortized o-ver 30 years)0 17 17 0.0033 0 17 Opei^tional Emissions Area 0 29 29 0.0024 0.00049 29 Enerpv 0 200 200 0.0071 0.0025 200 Mobile 0 510 510 0.021 0 510 1 Waste 21 0 21 1.2 0 461Water2.3 42 4A 0.24 0.006 51 i Total Project Emissions 23 SCO 820 1.5 0.009 850 II Source;LSA Associates,Inc.(November 2014).

Construction related GHG's are also emitted from off-site haul trucks and construction workers travelingto the jobsite. Exhaust emissions from construction activitieswouldvary each day with the changes in construction activity on site. The combustion offossil-based fuels creates GHG's such as CO2,Ch4,and N2O.CH4is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (LSA,December 2014), 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)Tiie 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 (OperationaH 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 bythe proposed land use development overa longterm. CEQArequires the Lead Agency to reviewthe projectfor "adequacy,completeness,and a good faith effort at full disclosure,"to determine potential impacts of GHG's. Therefore the projecthas been analyzed based on methodologies and information availableto the Cityat 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 General Plan Final Program Environmental impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts ofGHG'sand determined that GHG emissions wouldbe cumulatively considerable,which would be a significant,unavoidable adverse cumulative impact. A Statement ofOverriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the CityCouncil.Based on the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (LSA,December 2014), 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.Withimplementation ofthe 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.

A.Recitals. 1.The applicant,SRM Development,filed an application for the approval of Tree Removal Permit No.DRC2015-00174,as described in the title of this Resolution.Hereinafter in this Resolution,the subject Tree Removal Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 13th day of January 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 meeting on January 13,2016,including written and oral staff reports,this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a.The application applies to approximately 4.07 acres of land,basically a rectangular configuration,located on the north side of Highland Avenue,between Archibald Avenue and Hermosa Avenue.Said property is currently designated as Low Residential;and b.The project site is approximately 310 feet from east to west and 652 feet from north to south and is presently vacant;and c. To the north and east ofthe site are single-family homes,immediately to the west of the project site is a San Bernardino County flood control channel (partially underground)and beyond that are multi-family homes,and to the south is the 210 Freeway,and to the east is the Highland Avenue Community Church and School;and d.The related Design Review application (DRC2015-00165)is a request to develop a three-level,96-unit,Assisted Living building totaling 111,684 square feet and a one-level,16- ltemC-G177 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.16-05 TRP DRC2015-00174-SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 2 unit,Memory Care building totaling 10,870 square feet,located on the north side of Highland Avenue,between Archibald Avenue and Hermosa Avenue;and e.The trees are not designated as historically significant;and f.The trees are not noted in any Specific Plan/Community Plan or condition of approval;and g.The applicant has submitted an arborist report assessing the health of the individual trees.The Arboricultural Tree Survey (LSA,November 25,2014),identifies that although some of the trees appear healthy,their locations conflict with proposed improvements, they are not suitable for relocation,and most are available as replacement plantings through most commercial nurseries.The Landscape Plan demonstrates that the thirty-five (35)non-heritage trees removed as part of this project will be replaced with a variety of 36-inch box,24-inch box, and 15-gallon size trees.Based on Development Code standards for tree plantings a total of 183 trees are required for the project,and the Landscape Plan proposes planting 210 trees throughout the project site;and h. It is necessary to remove the trees in order to construct improvements which allow economic enjoyment of the property;and i.There are a variety of existing healthy trees in the neighborhood;the removal does not affect the established character of the area and the property values;and j. It is not necessary to remove the trees to construct required improvements within the public street right-of-way or within a flood control or utility right-of-way;and k.The trees cannot be preserved by pruning and proper maintenance or relocation rather than removal;and I.The trees do not constitute a significant natural resource of the City. 3.Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced meeting 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 objectives of the General Plan;and b.The proposed project is in accord with the objectives of the Municipal Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located;and c.The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code;and d.The proposed project,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. 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 ltemC-G178 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.16-05 TRP DRC2015-00174 -SRM DEVELOPMENT January 13,2016 Page 3 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 recommends the City Council adopt 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 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 recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project; and d.The custodian of records for the initial Study,Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission's 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. 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.
