A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE
NO. DRC2018-00566, A REQUEST TO INCREASE THE WALL HEIGHT
UP TO 23 FEET FOR SOUND ATTENUATION ALONG THE SOUTH
BOUNDARY AND A PORTION OF THE EAST BOUNDARY OF
PROPOSED TENTATIVE TRACT 19917 (A REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE
7.17 ACRES INTO 10 LOTS IN THE VERY LOW (VL) RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT OF THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN), LOCATED NORTH OF
THE 210 FREEWAY AND EAST OF EAST AVENUE AT THE EASTERLY
EXTENSION OF WILSHIRE DRIVE AND COPLEY DRIVE; AND MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF —APN: 0226-102-30.
A. Recitals.
1. Bob Castillo filed an application for the issuance of Variance No. DRC2018-00566 as
described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance
request is referred to as "the application."
2. On August 8, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly 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 August 8, 2018, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to a 7.17 acre site, located directly north of the 210
Freeway at the future easterly extensions of Wilshire Drive and Copley Drive, which is located
generally in the area east of East Avenue and south of Banyan Street; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site contains existing single-family homes
(Tract 18708, a 7-lot subdivision), the property to the south is the 210 Freeway and beyond that
are existing single-family homes, to the east is the East Etiwanda Creek and the San Sevaine
Flood Control Basin, and the property to the west is a single-family tract currently under
construction (Tract 18122, a 76-lot subdivision); and
c. The project site is rectangular in shape with an east-west dimension of
approximately 330 feet and a north-south dimension of approximately 940 feet; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-49
VAR DRC2018-00566—CASTILLO

d. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties is Very Low (VL)
Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan; and
e. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow the construction of noise
attenuating walls along the south, east, and west perimeters of the proposed subdivision that will
be in excess of 6 feet in height; and
f. Per Section 17.08.060(K) of the Development Code, the maximum height of
walls permitted in residential districts is 6 feet; and
g. The proposed walls will be approximately 12 to 13.7 feet above the pad
elevations of the lots adjoining the walls as seen from the interior of the subdivision. The general
area where the walls will be highest is near the southeast corner of the subdivision at Lot 10 where
the wall, as seen from the freeway, will be approximately 23 feet high.
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. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of the Development Code. The proposed walls are for noise attenuation purposes to
reduce the exterior noise levels at the lots along the perimeter of the proposed subdivision. The
height of the walls is necessary to mitigate the noise impacts to a level that is less than 65 dBA
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) as specified in the Development Code. If the walls
were limited to 6 feet as specified in the Code, or if the walls were absent altogether, the exterior
noise levels would not comply with the Code, nor be consistent with Public Health and Safety
policies relating to noise (Goal PS-13 of the General Plan). There is no practical alternative to
walls that will achieve the desired noise attenuation; and
b. That 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 district. The project site is located approximately 150
feet north of the Foothill Freeway (SR-210). As a result, it is exposed to noise generated by traffic
that is generally not present near other residential properties in the City that are screened by
existing development and/or sufficiently distant from these principal noise sources that noise
impacts are negligible; and
c. That 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
district. The purpose of the walls is to attenuate traffic noise. The exterior noise levels generated
by traffic exceed the maximum limits established by the Development Code and would negatively
affect a future homeowner's ability to enjoy and use the outdoor areas of their property in the
absence of these walls. Furthermore, the effectiveness of noise attenuating materials used in the
construction of the homes is augmented by the presence of the noise attenuating perimeter wall.
The absence of the wall would reduce the effectiveness of noise mitigation measures and expose
the occupants of the homes to elevated interior noise; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-49
VAR DRC2018-00566—CASTILLO

d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. Throughout the
City,the Foothill Freeway(SR-210)corridor is adjacent to numerous residential properties. Traffic
noise impacts along the corridor must be mitigated to levels as described in the Development
Code and consistent with the General Plan. The freeway corridor abuts various residential zoning
districts including the Very Low (VL) Residential District. Walls of this height or similar are
common along the freeway corridor for noise attenuation purposes where residential properties
are adjacent to the freeway; and
e. That 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 height
of the wall as seen from the Foothill Freeway (SR-210) will be similar to the height of other noise
attenuation walls along the freeway corridor within the City. This wall will be constructed per the
decorative design established by Caltrans, consistent with the design of the existing sound
attenuation wall to the east and 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
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, City staff prepared an Initial Study (IS) of the potential environmental
effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that IS, 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, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources 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 (MND) was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff
provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The City received comments from the San Bernardino County Department
of Public Works (SBCDPW) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Both
agencies raised questions that required further environmental study, and the revision and
recirculation of the IS/MND. The IS/MND was revised significantly as requested and now also
includes revised discussion and additional mitigations related to noise impacts. The IS/MND was
recirculated. No additional comments have been received in response to this recirculated
environmental document.
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 therefore 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
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; 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 decision 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.
Planning Department
1) The approval of Variance DRC2018-00566 is contingent upon
