PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES FEBRUARY 11, 2015 Page 2 FIE III. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSIOle1 A. PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP DRC2014-01096-LEWIS RETAIL CENTERS -Preliminary site plan and architectural review of a proposed 92,235 square foot commercial center including a change in land use from Medium (M) Residential to Village Commercial(VC)for a site located within the Victoria Community Plan(VCP)at the northwest comer of Day Creek Boulevard and Base Line Road;APN: 1089-031-15, 16 and 35. Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, gave a brief overview of the concerns noted in the staff report such as the number of proposed drive-thrus and the anticipated traffic congestion, the adequacy of the drive-thru dedicated to the coffee business, the awkward drive-thru configuration of the proposed drug store, safety with respect to pedestrians crossing the drive-thru lanes, and enhanced landscaping and features. Walt Mitchell of Lewis Retail gave a full presentation of the modified plans. He said the raised grade at the southerly corner of the site allows for a pedestrian plaza area. He said they are trying to get the drive-thru for the drug store to be buffered with landscaping so it is not so visible from the street. He said 17 parking spaces have been added and the drive-thrus have been moved away from Day Creek to the site area along Base Line Road. He said the new arrangement allows for more cars in the stacking arrangement for the coffee business. He discussed the county flood control property (Pad 'B) and the access easement. He discussed the connectivity being provided for future residential units;the moving of the tower element from the east side to the west; access to the bus turnout; and added arbors and tiered landscaping in the patio area. He said the setbacks have been pushed more towards the street. Chairman Wimberly asked for Commission thoughts and comments. Commissioner Howdyshell commented on the clock tower and how she would prefer it be illuminated, a key factor of walkability of the site, the stacking of drive-thru vehicles during busy hours. maneuverability, and the density of buildings with respect to the number of parking spaces. She recalled much discussion and concern regarding drive- thrus with respect to the Winery Estates project on the southeast corner. Mr. Mitchell said lighting could be provided. He noted they have not addressed any lighting issues yet in the design. Commissioner Fletcher expressed concern about the number of drive-thrus and noted ...... _ that is also a staff concern. He asked if they would address that. He said his initial concerns were from a historical perspective related to the prior development on the southeast corner because of its proximity to the winery. He said no drive-thrus were Item B-2 i • PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES C.RwcHo FEBRUARY 11, 2015 um UCAMMPage 3 initially allowed and the design had to be an all winery theme. He said Walgreens was not allowed to be there. He said the project may need to incorporate winery architecture and he also thought there are too many drive-thrus and he dislikes walking through drive-thrus. He said they should try to attract sit down restaurants-this is prime property. He said he did not want to turn this over and allow this developer to do everything the other developer did not get to do. He said he did not want to ignore the prior wishes and work that had been done before by the Task Force. He said he wants to look at what was considered to be the list of allowable businesses. He said before moving forward he needs to be more comfortable with the history of development criteria discussed with the Etiwanda/Base Line Historic Task Force. He said that if we find it should be more of a wine heritage theme, then that should be architecturally added. He said the Planning Commission is also the Historic Preservation Commission and there should be a consideration regardless if requirements are in the code. Gary Bauer of Lewis Retail said they are not considering the drug store drive thru-to be a true sense of a drive-thru in that not many cars would be using it. He said they would like flexibility in case they need those drive-thrus with respect to feasibility of the project. Commissioner Oaxaca commented that staff had thoughts about attracting folks from the trail into the center. He asked for the applicant to comment on the size/space of the area indicated as the connection point with future residential. He asked for them to show the path for them to get to the center of the development. He expressed concern about the drive-thru/double stacking at Building 5. Mr. Mitchell said the area is quite large. Pedestrians would have to cross Firehouse Court to use the amenities. He said they could proceed south on Day Creek or enter in by Firehouse Court through the open arbor area that is being provided for future residential connectivity. Chairman Wimberly commented on the parking and expressed concern about major turning problems and access. He said it looks great now but in the future when the development fills in there could be a density problem. He said he has a concern about pedestrian safety with respect to crossing the drive-thru lanes and that there are too many of them. Mr. Mitchell said the plan has unusual cunies- a positive design feature but harder to navigate. He said with respect to parking, the development provides a little over 5 cars per 1.000 square feet. He said he believes it has good flows. - Commissioner Munoz asked for clarification regarding what took place in the-Task Force. - • discussions. He asked if Pad B would be developed at the start or postponed because of the clearances needed from the County. He asked if there would be a berm to keep vehicle lights from shining into the eyes of drivers along Day Creek and Base Line Road. Item B-3 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES FEBRUARY 11, 2015 C;w! Page 4 He asked if there were any amendments in the plans that we should hold the developer to that may have occurred since the task force meetings. Mr. Mitchell said the idea is to process Pad B concurrently with the rest of the development but the process may take a little longer. Candyce Burnett, Planning Director, commented on the prior discussions held with the Etiwanda/Base Line Historic Task Force. She said the allowable uses are already covered in the specific plans. She said the winery theme was never fully defined and there is much variation amongst wineries. She said staff will review the codes and verify if any amendments have occurred that would affect this development. Mr. Mitchell noted that they received those comments at the onset from both Ms. Burnett and Mr. Bloom (DCM Economic and Community Development) with respect to appropriate design. He said the Craftsman style matches more of the wineries in town and also reflects more of the residential nature of this site. Greg Palaski, representing Nadel Architects, said the Tuscan style is not really a winery design. He said this area reflects rural agrarian architecture-that is what California winery design is. He said the Craftsman style has great heavy timbers and overhangs which add design/visual value. He said differences are very regional amongst wine producing areas such as Napa, Temecula, etc. He said Craftsman is very pervasive and part of the California winery heritage, particularly noting Pasadena. Chairman Wimberly asked that staff provide information that would verify any changes that may have occurred and asked staff to see what is compatible. Mr. van der Zwaag said staff will research the prior proceedings of the Etiwanda/Base Line Historic Task Force. Ms. Burnett said staff will also go through the General Plan and Specific Plans to see what has occurred. She said this may come back to the Commission as a Directors Report. IV.

Project Density: 4.7 Dwelling Units per Acre North - Single-Family Residential; Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) South - Single-Family Residential; Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) East - Single-Family Residential; Low Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre) West - Kenyon Park; Park B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - Park North - Low Medium Residential South - Low Medium Residential East - Low Medium Residential West - Park ANALYSIS: A. Project Proposal: The applicant, Caldwell Land Services, proposes subdividing the 6.5 acre project site into 31 lots for the development of single-family residences. The applicant is not submitting house product at this time. The site is located at the southwest corner Kenyon Way and Lark Drive and is adjacent to Kenyon Park, with a community trail running along the south and west property lines. The site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north to south. The site drains roughly from north to south and is covered with scrub brush. The General Plan land use designation is currently Park (P) and the Victoria Community Plan zoning designation is currently School (S). The City determined that the adjacent 7.81 acre parcel of land to the west was a superior location for the development of Kenyon Park and the Etiwanda School District has determined that the site is not needed as a school site. The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan land use designation and Victoria Community zoning designation to Low Medium (LM) residential, in conformance with the existing zoning designations for the residential development to the north, south and east (see Exhibit "C"). The project is designed to conform to all related development criteria for the Low Medium (LM) Development District of the Victoria Community Plan, except for the depth of Lot #19. The applicant has submitted a Variance (DRC2014-01117) requesting a reduction in the required lot depth from 90 feet to 73 feet for Lot #19. The Victoria Community Plan requires a minimum lot width of 50 feet and minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. The Community Plan also requires that lots 55 feet wide or greater have a lot size of 6,000 square feet in order to provide variety. The project complies with each of these requirements. The smallest lot size in the development is 5,025 square feet and the largest lot size is 11,210 square feet, with an average lot size of 6,807 square feet, exceeding the 5,500 square foot average lot size requirement. The project includes 3 lettered lots that will be maintained by the Landscape Maintenance District in the area. Lot "A" is on the south side of Lark Drive and was created in order to permit the intersection of the new project street and Lark Drive to line up. Lots "B" and "C" were Item C—F2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18508, DRC2014-00560, DRC2014-00561 8, DRC2014-01117 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES ® MARCH 11, 2015 Page 3 created in order to provide line-of-site visibility for the project's interior streets where they intersect with Kenyon Way, which is curvilinear along the project boundary. The Engineering Department has agreed to accept dedication and maintenance of the lettered lots into the local Landscape Maintenance District. B. Variance: The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required lot depth of Lot #19 from 90 feet to 73 feet. The depth of Lot #19 is reduced by a corner cutoff required to provide visibility for oncoming traffic along Kenyon Way where it intersects with a new extension of Grimaldi Road. The Development Code defines lot depth as the horizontal distance between the midpoint of the front lot line and the midpoint of the rear lot line. The lot is approximately 114 feet deep along the west property line and approximately 20 feet deep along the east property line. At the midpoint, the lot is approximately 73 feet deep, 17 feet less than the required 90-foot minimum lot depth. Staff is in support of granting a Variance for lot depth due to the odd shape of Lot #19 and the fact that the lot is over 50 percent larger than the minimum 6,000 square foot lot size requirement (for lots over 55 feet wide). The large lot size will enable the lot to be developed with a single-family residence that meets all related setback and lot coverage requirements. The findings of fact below support the necessary findings, which are required by the City's Development Code: 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 lot depth requirement,p q ement, the applicant would be required to eliminate Lot #19, which meets all other development criteria and can be developed with a single-family residence that meets all development criteria. 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 project site is adjacent to a wide curve in a public street, Kenyon Way, which limits vehicular visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of Grimaldi Road. The visibility issue has been resolved by providing a corner cutoff adjacent to the subject intersection, which in turn creates a physical limitation on Lot #19 from meeting the required 90- foot lot depth. 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 lot depth requirement, the applicant would be required to eliminate Lot #19, increasing the size of the adjacent lots to where the lots are much larger than the other lots in the surrounding area, thereby lessening the development potential of the site when all other development criteria can be attained. 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. Item C—F3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT18508, DRC2014-00560, DRC2014-00561 AND DRC2014-01117 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES March, 11, 2015 Page 4 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, a corner cutoff was created to provide vehicle visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of Grimaldi Road, which restricts Lot#19 from complying with the lot depth requirement. 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 lot 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. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting on December 17, 2014, with approximately 30 residents in attendance. The main topics of discussion were traffic concerns at the Kenyon Way/Lark Drive intersection, glare from the proposed street lights and the timeline for starting construction of the future homes. The applicant informed the attendees that a project requirement is to install a four way stop at the Kenyon Way/Lark Drive intersection, that the street lights will include glare guards and that the project will be sold to a merchant builder and thus they could not provide a construction timeline. D. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Oaxaca, Fletcher, Granger) on December 16, 2014. The Committee approved the project as presented. E. Technical Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Committee on December 16, 2014. The Committee approved the project as presented. F. SB18 Tribal Consultation: California State Bill 18 requires that the City send project notification to California tribal communities when a project proposes a General Plan amendment. Tribal Notification was sent on June 19, 2014 and, to date, Staff has not received a response from any .of the tribal contacts. Staff also requested a Historical Resources Review from the San Bernardino County Museum. The review found that there was a low probability for the potential of finding prehistoric or historic resources on the project site. A standard mitigation measure is included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program requiring.that grading stop and an archeologist be consulted if historic resources are found on the project site. G. 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, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, noise, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and geology and soils, 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. Staff has not received any comments to date.

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 southwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive and is surrounded by residential development to the north, south, and east and by a City park to the west. The visual quality of the area will not degrade as a result of this project as it will be of a similar design and density to the surrounding development. 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. The change to the visual environment due to the project is not considered a significant impact, no mitigation required. d) The project would increase the number of street lights 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. The lighting will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant. 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or ( ) ( ) (✓) ( ) Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, ora ( ) ( ) ( ).

Comments: a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The site is located at the southwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive and is surrounded by residential development to the north, south and east and by a City park to the 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 surrounded by existing and planned development. Farmland in the southern portion of the City is surrounded 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. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 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 adverse impacts are anticipated. 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. No adverse impacts • are anticipated. e) The site is located at the southwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive and is surrounded by residential development to the north, south, and east and by a City park to Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`36 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 6 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially . wrth Than Significant itigation Significant No Impact Incorporated .I act Impact the west. The nearest agricultural use is more than 3 miles to the southeast 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. No adverse impacts are anticipated. 3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? C) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) number of people? Comments: a) As noted in the General Plan FPEIR (Section 4.3), the proposed project would not interfere with the ability of the region to comply with Federal and State air quality standards for Criterion 1 (increase in the frequency or severity of violations of local air quality) or Criterion 2 (exceed assumptions in the AQMP consistency with. the 2003 AQMP). The density of the.proposed project is consistent with the level of development anticipated by the General Plan for the project site. Therefore, the project is consistent with the 2003 AQMP and is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. 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 (Os), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less(PM,o), 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F37 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUB1718508 Page 7 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incor orated Impact Impact include motor vehicles at an intersection, a mall, and on highways. SCAQMD also regulates stationary sources of pollution within in 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 (Os), coarse particulate matter with a diameter or 10 microns or less (PM,o), 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. 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 impact study was prepared by LSA (April 2014; Technical Appendices C) that utilizes the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2013.2.2 to evaluate short- term construction emissions for localized significant thresholds, long-term operational emissions, operation emissions for localized significant thresholds, and Green House Gas Emissions.

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. Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`39 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUB1718508 Page 9 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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 Coatinas Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are similar to ROCs and are part of the 03 precursors. The project proposes subdividing 6.5 acres in order to create 31 single-family lots. Based on the project, it 'is estimated that the proposed buildings will result in approximately 17 lbs. of VOC per day during the coating phase. The emissions would occur after grading activities, near the end of the construction period. 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 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. Naturallv Occurring Asbestos The proposed project is located in San Bernardino County, which 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 asbestors (NOA) during project construction is small and less-than-significant. 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 PM1o) 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. 2010 General Plan FPEIR Air Quality Analysis and Mitigation Measures (short term) 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, Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F40 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 10 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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 related emissions are required to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a project-speck basis and in conformance with the General Plan FPEIR. Although the project will not result in any significant short-term construction impacts, the following mitigation measures as identified in the.2010 General Plan FPEIR shall be implemented to reduce cumulative impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) 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. 2) 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. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions: • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering. • 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`41 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUB1718508 Page 11 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inco orated Impact Impact hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements. • Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RWQCB]) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. 7) 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. 8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans • include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. 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.e and PM,o) 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. Lona Term (Operational) Impacts Operational emissions for the project are shown in the table below and were calculated using CaIEEMod model to account area, energy and mobile source emissions. The proposed project was analyzed based on the development of 31 single-family residences. Based on trip generation factors included in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (Ninth Edition) which are also provided in the trip generation study prepared for the proposed project (LSA, April 2014), the projects daily trips were entered into the CalEEMod model. Long-term operational emissions associated with the project are shown in the table below. Area sources include architectural coatings, consumer products, hearths and landscaping. Energy sources include natural gas consumption or heating and cooking. The table shows that the increase of all criteria pollutants as a result of the proposed project would not exceed the corresponding SCAQMD daily emission thresholds for any criteria pollutants. Therefore, project-related long-term air quality impacts would be less-than-significant.

In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan 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, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures as identified in the FPEIR shall be implemented: 1) Landscape with native and/or drought-resistant species to reduce water consumption and to provide passive solar benefits. 2) All residential structures shall be required to incorporate high-efficiency/low- polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances,and water heaters.- Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`43 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUB1718508 Page 13 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 3) All residential structures shall be required to incorporate thermal pane .windows and weather-stripping. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FPEIR identified -the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council as noted in the General Plan FPEIR(Section 4.3). 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 ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FPEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. 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 project site is located within 1/4 mile of a sensitive receptor, Kenyon Park and Rancho Cucamonga High School. Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under b) above and the following mitigation measure will reduce impact to less-than- significant levels. 4) All new development in the City of Rancho Cucamonga shall comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 445, Wood Burning Devices. Rule 445 was adopted in March 2008 to reduce emissions of PM2.5 and precludes the installation of indoor or outdoor wood burning devices (i.e. fireplaces/hearths) in new development on or after March 9, 2009. e) Construction Odors (Short-term) may include odors associated with equipment use including diesel exhaust and the installation of roofing material, painting and paving. These odors are temporary and dissipate rapidly. Operation Odors (Long-term) are typically associated with residential uses such as cooking and gardening. Typically, the proposed residential uses do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts anticipated. • Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F44 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 14 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 4.

The site is located at the southwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive and is surrounded by residential development to the north, south and east and by a City park to the west. The site has been previously disrupted during annual discing for weed abatement. According to the General Plan Figure RC-4, and Section 4.4 of the General Plan FPEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development is not anticipated to 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. In addition, a General Biological Assessment (LSA April 17, 2014; Technical Appendices A) was performed on the project site that concluded that the proposed project is not anticipated to affect threatened or endangered species, or their critical habitat, although the shrubs on the project site may provide nesting habitat for birds observed using the site as well as other birds known in the region. It is recommended that vegetation clearing activities be scheduled outside of the avian nesting season (February 15 through August 15). If construction activities are planned during the avian nesting season, a pre-construction Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`45 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 15 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact lincorporated Im act Impact nesting bird survey should be conducted within 30 days prior to commencement to avoid impact to birds protected under the Fish and Game Code and Migratory Bird Act. 1) Prior to approval of a Grading Permit, 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 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. 2) Prior to approval of a Grading Permit, a Burrowing Owl Survey that conforms to the Department of Fish and Wildlife Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review. The survey shall include a habitat assessment,survey and impact analysis. 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. C) No wetland habitat is present on-site. As a result, project implementation would have no impact on these resources. 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. There are no tributaries or wildlife corridors on the project site or in the surrounding area, 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 local ordinances. f) 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. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES.

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 Preservatiori). There will be no impact b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project; 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 a 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. 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`47 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 17 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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 including 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.

Comments: a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along,the Red Hill Fault, according to the General Plan Figure PS-2, and Section 4.7 of the General Plan FPEIR. The Red Hill Fault, passes within 1/4 mile northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing Mw 6.0-7.0 earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to MW 7.5 earthquakes is 15 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to MW 8.2 earthquakes, is 17 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking.- Adhering haking: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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`49 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 19 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Im act Im act 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 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 PIIA,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. • 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 Tujunga gravelly loamy sand (0-9 percent slopes) 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 Tujunga gravelly loamy sand (0-9 percent slopes) Soil association according to General Plan FPEIR Exhibit 4.7-3. These soils are typically used for irrigated small grains and pasture plants and runoff is very slow to slow. No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) The project will connect to, and be served by, the existing local sewer system for wastewater disposal. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. No adverse impacts are anticipated. • Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F50 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 8UBTT18508 Page 20 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially aentiaWith Than pp g Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact incorporated Impact Impact 7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or ( ) (✓) ( ) () indirectly; that may have a significant impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) 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 six 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 three to four 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F51 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 21 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No. Impact Incorporated Impact Impact (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 performance based standard (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 pollutant except PM,o, PM2.s, 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, PM,o, and PM2.s levels all exceed State and Federal standards regularly. Proiect 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. On December 5, 2008, the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted the staff proposal for an interim GHG significance threshold for projects where the SCAQMD is the lead agency. The Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact Analysis (LSA, April, 2014) (Technical Appendices c) uses the SCAQMD interim GHG significance threshold in their study of the projects projected GHG emissions. 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 proposed project would not generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. The proposed project was analyzed using the CalEEMod model based on the development of 31 single-family residences. The proposed project is anticipated to generate GHG emissions from area source, energy usage, mobile sources, waste disposal, water usage, and construction equipment. The project construction and operational GHG emissions have been calculated using the CaIEEMod model based on the parameters detailed above. A summary of the results is shown in the tables below: • Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`52 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 22 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Short-Tenn Reaional Construction Emissions Total Reglkwail Pollutant Emtstdons (.MT ell Canstructioa PLaae. ...

According to the SCAQMD, a cumulative global climate change impact would occur if the GHG emissions created from the on-going operations would exceed 3,000 MTCO2e per year. Therefore, with the mitigation measures outlined below, a less than significant impact would occur from the generation of greenhouse gas emissions from the cumulative development and operation of the proposed project. 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 (COs). 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F53 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 23 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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, Cha, and N2O. CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 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. Lonp 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. The project involves the construction of subdivision of 6.5 acres of land for the future development of 31 single-family residences and therefore 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: energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy storage, water conservation, solid waste measures, land use measures, transportation and motor vehicles, agricultural and forestry and off-site mitigation. The project is in the vicinity of existing transit lines; because it is an infill ® project; it is required to install water efficient landscaping pursuant to the City's Development Code; and, will participate in the City's waste reduction and recycling programs. Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F54 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 24 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Pignifi ant with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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. 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. The project's long term operation emissions will contribute to area pollutants but will not exceed any of the SCAQMD's thresholds. The proposed project would have less than a significant long term impact with the following mitigation measures: 1) Construction and Building materials shall be produced and/or manufactured locally. Use "Green Building Materials" such as materials that are resource efficient, recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way including low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC)materials. 2) Design all buildings to exceed California Building Code Title 24 energy standard including but not limited to any combination of; • Increased insulation, • Limit air leakage through the structure, • Incorporate Energy Star or better rated windows, space heating and cooling equipment, light fixtures, and appliances, • Landscape and develope site utilizing shade, prevailing winds and landscaping, • 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. 3) 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 and/or install the infrastructure to deliver and use reclaimed water. 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.

Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste in public areas. Educate employees about reducing waste and about recycling. b) The project involves the construction of subdivision of 6.5 acres of land for the future development of 31 single-family residences. No other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emission apply to the project. The 2010 General Plan Update included 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 General Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) analyzed the impacts of GHGs 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. The proposed project would not hinder the State's GHG reduction goals established by Assembly(AB)32 and therefore would be less than a significant impact. • 8. HAZARDS AND WASTE MATERIALS. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? C) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 1/4 mile of an existing or proposed school? d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? 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 result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ( ) ( ) ( ) V) would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? • g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an ( ) ( ) ( ) V) adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?

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. The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition, which is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive than 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 or volatile fuels will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are anticipated. C) Rancho Cucamonga High School (11801 Lark Drive) is located within 1/4 mile of the project site. Typically, residential uses 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 7.7 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated. f) There are no private airstrips within the City. The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2.5 miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`57 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUB1718508 Page 27 • Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Im act 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. No impact is anticipated. 9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) requirements? b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? • c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner, which would result insubstantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on-or off-site? e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?

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, prepared by Madole and Associates (September 14, 2014), 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C-1`59 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 29 • Less Than Significant Less PotenIssues and Supporting Information Sources: Significant With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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. 5) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, the applicant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm 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: 1) 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. 2) 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 Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F60 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 30 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially with Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact 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 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. d) 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 a 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. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on-or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. e) 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 a site; however, all runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project will not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, 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 the implementation of the following mitigation measures specified under subsection a) and the following mitigation measure, the impact is less than significant: 1) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by Modole and Associates (September 14, 2014) 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 Plan Figure PS-5. No adverse impacts are expected.

No adverse impacts are expected. i) 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. D 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 several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City. 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: • a) Physically divide an established community? ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, a general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) or natural community conservation plan? Comments: a) The site is located at the southwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive is surrounded by residential development to the north, south, and east and by a City park to the west. This project will be of similar design and size to the surrounding residential development to the north, south, and east. The project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are anticipated. b) The project site land use designation is Park (P). As part of this application the applicant has submitted a Victoria Community Plan and General Plan amendment to change the land use designation from Park (General Plan) and School (Victoria Community Plan) to Low Medium residential. The project also includes a Variance to reduce the required 90 foot lot depth to 73 feet on Lot 19. To the north, east and south are single-family lots of similar sizes. To the west is a neighborhood park. The proposed 31 lot single-family subdivision will fit into the surrounding single-family neighborhood and become part of the community. The land use change and the subdivision layout is compatible with the • surrounding area and will not create a conflicting land use since it will be surrounded by existing land uses that are designated Low Medium Residential. The proposed project does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection, the Ontario International Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F62 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 Page 32 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentiallyignift wtr, Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Inco orated Im act. Impact Airport's ALUCP or SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan 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 ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Comments: a) The site is not designated as a State Aggregate Resources Area according to the City General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1; therefore, there is no impact. b) The site is not designated by the General Plan, Figure RC-2 and Table RC-1, as a valuable mineral resource recovery site; therefore, there is no impact. 12. NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in ( ) (✓) ( ) ( ) excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? C) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ( ) (✓) ( ) () ambient noise.levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? 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)l 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?

A Noise Impact Study (LSA April 2014; Technical Appendences B) was prepared for the project site which concluded that with the following mitigation measures the noise impact on the future homes will be less than significant: Exterior.- 1) Construct a sound wall that is a minimum 6 feet above the pad elevation along the perimeter of the ground-floor backyards for all residences adjacent to Kenyan Way. The barrier shall be some combination of berms and concrete masonry units (CMUs). 2) Install a mechanical ventilation system such as a mechanical fan or air-conditioning system for all dwelling units with direct line of sight to Kenyon Way traffic. 3) Construct a minimum 5 foot high sound barrier on each balcony/deck facing Kenyon Way and/or within 30 feet of the Kenyon Way centerline. The sound wall shall be constructed with a combination of wood and plexiglass, with no • gaps. 4) Prior to the issuance of any grading plans a construction-related noise mitigation plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The Plan shall depict the location of the construction equipment and how the noise from this equipment would be mitigated during construction. 5) During all project site excavation and grading, the project contractors shall equip all construction equipment, sixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with the manufacturers'standards. 6) The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the project site. 7) The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction. 8) The construction contractor shall obtain the City's approval for its haul plan, with the planned haul truck routes avoiding residential areas to the extent feasible. 9) The construction contractor shall change the timing and/or sequence of the noisiest construction operations to avoid sensitive times of the day. • 10) The applicant shall submit a noise study when the houses on the lots are submitted for approval to verify compliance with the City's noise standards.

Construction related vibration may create short term noise and vibration impacts. As such, no impacts are anticipated. C) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. Because the project will not significantly increase traffic as analyzed in The traffic Study prepared for the project (LSA, April 2014) states that the total project related vehicle trips would be 64 trips a day, less than 2 percent of the existing traffic volumes on Kenyon Way. This increase would result in an increase of less than a 0.2 dBA increase in traffic noise level, which is not. perceptible to the human ears in an outdoor environment. 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: 1) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at anytime on Sunday or a national holiday. 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.

POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either ( ) ( ) (✓ ) ( ) directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? C) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating ( ) ( ) ( ) (✓) the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Comments: • a) The project proposes the subdivision of 6.5 acres into 31 lots for the future development of single-family residences. The project includes Community Plan and General Plan Amendments to change the zoning from Park (P) and School (S) to Low Medium (LM) residential. The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population growth. According to the United States Census Bureau, 2009-2013 American Community Survey, the average household size is 3.19 for owner occupied and 2.72 for renter occupied. It is estimated that the 31 lot single family subdivision will generate a population growth of approximately 100 persons. Since the project is an infill and surrounded by developed infrastructure, adequate schools and the utility capacities to serve the project, the impact is considered less than significant. Further, construction . activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new employees to the area. The impact is considered less than significant. significant b) Because the property is vacant there will be no displacement of housing or people. Therefore no adverse impact is expected. C) 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: • a) Fire protection?

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 additional 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 already regularly patrolled. C) The Etiwanda 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. No impacts are anticipated. d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park (Kenyon Park) is directly adjacent to 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. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. 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 development impact fees 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.

Comments: a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 337 vehicle trips daily per the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) trip generation model. The proposed project includes the development of 31 detached residences. Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) trip generation model estimates that each detached residence will generate 10.87 trips daily. The ITE trip generation model also estimates that each detached residence will generate .75 two-way peak hour trips daily. Projects that generate more than 100 two-way peak hour trips are considered by the City to have a significant impact on the environment. 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 estimated to create 23.25 two-way peak hour trips, and will thus not create a significant impact on the environment. 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 includes Community Plan and General Plan Amendments to change the land use from Park (P) and School (S) to Low Medium (LM) residential. 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) 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. With adherence to these programs, no impacts are anticipated. C) Located approximately 7.7 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 anticipate 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.

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. A General Biological Assessment(LSA, April 17, 2014)was performed on the project site that concluded that the proposed project is not anticipated to affect threatened or endangered species, or their critical habitat. The report, though, Rev 8-18-14 Item C—F71 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map SUB1718508 Page 41 Less Than Significant Less Issues and Supporting Information Sources: Potentially With Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact recommended that if grading occurs during nesting season (February 1 through August 31), that a bird survey be conducted. A mitigation measure has been added in the Biological Resources section of the study requiring that the submission of bird nesting survey to the Planning Department prior to the approval of a rough grading permit. 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 Air Quality and Green House Gas sections of this Initial Study outlined potential cumulative environmental impacts that the project may have on the environment that would be mitigated to less-than-significant with the implementation of the included mitigation measures. 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(cumulative), 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 (cumulative only). Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. A Noise Impact Study (LSA April 2014; Technical Appendences B) was prepared for the project site which concluded that with the mitigation measures outlined, including the construction of a 6-foot high sound wall, the noise impact on the future homes will be less than significant. The Initial Study also identified potentially significant impacts to water' quality; however mitigation measures will reduce those impacts to less-than-significant. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier PEIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D). The effects identified above for this project were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in the following earlier document(s) pursuant to applicable legal standards, and such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on March 11,2015, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive in the School (S) Zoning District; and b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium (LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and d. The General Plan land use designation is Park (P) and the Victoria Community Plan zoning designation is School (S). The City has no plans to develop the site as a park and the school district has determined that the site is not needed as a school site; and • e. The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan land use designation to Low Medium (LM) residential, in conformance with the existing zoning designations for the residential development to the north, south and east; and Item C—F90 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-18 GENERAL PLAN AMENDEMENT DRC2014-00560 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES MARCH 11, 2015 Page 2 f. This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development in that the proposed Amendment will change the land use designation to be consistent with the land use designation of the properties to the north south and east; and g. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element in that General Plan Land Use Policy LU-3.7 encourages development of vacant land in built-out areas. The vacant project site is surrounded by residential development to the north, south and east that is of a similar size and layout and will become part of the larger community; and h. This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties.The properties to the north, south and east are developed with single-family residences with the same zoning designation as the proposed project site and will not be negatively impacted by the approval of this General Plan Amendment. 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 subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in terms of access, size and compatibility with the existing land uses in the surrounding area. The project site will be developed with single-family residences of similar size, layout and density as the existing lots to the north, south and east and will be accessed by an adjacent public street. . b. The proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties in that the proposed General Plan Amendment will change in the land use designation from Park(P)to Low Medium(LM),which is the same land use designation as the properties to the north, south and east. c. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan in that the project site is surrounded by residential development with the same land use designation to the north, south and east and will be developed in conformance with the development criteria of the proposed land use designation. Further,the project site is surrounded by residential development to the north, south and east that is of a similar site and layout and will become part of the larger community. 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 recommends that 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 Item C=F91 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-18 GENERAL PLAN AMENDEMENT DRC2014-00560 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES • MARCH 11, 2015 Page 3 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 hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested General Plan Amendment. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt 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. 5.

A. Recitals. 1. Caldwell Land Solutions filed an application for the approval of Victoria Community Plan Amendment DRC2014-00561 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Victoria Community Plan Amendment request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 11th day of March 2015, 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, PartA, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on March 11,2015,including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive in the School (S) Zoning District; and b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium (LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and d. The General Plan land use designation is Park (P) and the Victoria Community Plan zoning designation is School (S). The City has no plans to develop the site as a park and the school district has determined that the site is not needed as a school site; and • Item C-1`95 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-19 VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDEMENT DRC2014-00561 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES MARCH 11, 2015 Page 2 e. The applicant is requesting to change the Victoria Community Plan zoning designation to Low Medium(LM)residential, in conformance with the existing land use designations for the residential development to the north, south and east of the project site. 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 amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for the development,within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development. As a Land Use Policy, the General Plan states that new development should be accommodated in a manner that integrates it into the physical structure of the City, is a logical extension of existing infrastructure improvements and there are adequate public services available to serve the development. The proposed zoning amendment will implement the Land Use Policies outlined above and will not be inconsistent with the density or quality of existing development within the Victoria Community Plan area and the City. b. The proposed amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Development Code which in turn are consistent with and implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. These goals include promoting the economical and efficient use of land, promoting design and construction techniques that are responsive to the environment, and promoting development compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed zoning amendment will result in development that is consistent with these goals and objectives and will be indistinguishable in overall quality and design from existing development in the surrounding area. C. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed zoning amendment will not increase the density of development in the surrounding area and will thus not increase traffic in a manner that is beyond what the roads were designed to accommodate or overwhelm the existing public facilities in the surrounding area; and d. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. The General Plan states that the Low Medium (LM) designation is characterized by detached and attached housing structures that contain either one or two individual dwelling units with a density range of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning amendment will be fully compliant with the General Plan; and e. In conjunction with the approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2014-00560, the proposed amendment will be consistent with the objectives of the Development Code. The Development Code states that the Low Medium (LM)zoning district is intended as an area for low medium density single-family or multi-family use with site development regulations that assure development compatible with the nearby single-family neighborhoods. The project site is being subdivided for the development of single-family residences at a density of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre and will become an integral part of the surrounding 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 will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts based upon the findings as follows: Item C—F96 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO, 15-19 VICTORIA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDEMENT DRC2014-00561 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES • MARCH 11, 2015 Page 3 a.

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. 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 recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Victoria Community Plan Amendment. 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 • recommends that the City Council adopt 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.

Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the Victoria Community Plan application as shown in Attachment "A" subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) Approval is to change the Victoria Community Plan zoning designation from School (S) to Low Medium (LM) residential as shown in Attachment "A" for 6.5 acres of land located northwest comer of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive from Park (P) to Low Medium (LM) Residential; APN: 1089-011-04. 2) Approval is contingent of City Council approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2014-00560. • 3) Approval is to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for the project and the Mitigated Monitoring Program and all mitigations contained therein.

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 March 11,2015,including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest comer of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive in the School (S)Zoning District; and b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium (LM)Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P)Zoning District; and d.

The Victoria Community Plan requires a minimum lot width of 50 feet and minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. The Community plan also requires that lots 55 feet wide or greater have a lot size of 6,000 square feet to provide variety. The project complies with each of these requirements; and h. The smallest lot size in the development is 5,025 square feet and the largest lot size is 11,210 square feet, with an average lot size of 6,807 square feet, exceeding the 5,500 square foot average lot size requirement; and i. The project includes 3 lettered lots that will be maintained by the Landscape Maintenance District in the area. Lot"A"is on the south side of Lark Drive and was created in order to permit the intersection of the new project street and Lark Drive to lineup. Lots"B"and"C"were created in order to provide line-of-site visibility for the project's interior streets where they intersect with Kenyon Way,which is curvilinear along the project boundary.The Engineering Department has agreed to accept dedication and maintenance of the lettered lots. 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 tract is consistent with the General Plan,Development Code,and any applicable specific plans in that as part of this application there is also a related General Plan Amendment (DRC2014-00560) and Victoria Community Plan Amendment (DRC2014-00561) changing the land use and zoning designations of the General Plan and Victoria Community Plan to Low Medium(LM)Residential.The project is designed to comply with all of the development criteria for the Low Medium (LM) Development District of the Victoria Community Plan, except for the lot depth of Lot#19.A Variance application(DRC2014-01117)for the reduction of lot depth for this lot is included as part of the requested entitlements.

Item C-1`101 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-20 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18508 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES • MARCH 11, 2015 Page 3 d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat in that 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 tract is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the lots are 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 tract 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 as 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 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 hereby recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Tentative Tract 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 recommends the City Council adopt 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.

A. Recitals. 1. Caldwell Land Solutions filed an application for the approval of Variance DRC2014- 01117 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 11th day of March 2015, 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 March 11,2015, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a property located on the northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive in the School (S) Zoning District; and b. The project site is approximately 650 feet from east to west and 400 feet from north to south; and C. To the north, south and east is single-family development within the Low Medium (LM) Zoning District; to the west is a public park within the Park (P) Zoning District; and d. The General Plan land use designation is Park (P) and the Victoria Community Plan zoning designation is School (S). The City has no plans to develop the site as a park and the school district has determined that the site is not needed as a school site; and e. The project is designed to conform to all related development criteria for the Low • Medium (M) Development District of the Victoria Community Plan, except for lot depth for Lot#19; and Item C-F122 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-21 VARIANCE DRC2014-01117 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES MARCH 11, 2015 Page 2 f. A Variance has been has been requested to reduce the required lot depth of Lot #19 from 90 feet to 73 feet. The depth of Lot#19 was reduced by a corner cutoff required to provide visibility for oncoming traffic at the intersection of Kenyon Way and Grimaldi Road. The Development Code defines lot depth as the horizontal distance between the midpoint of the front lot line and the midpoint of the rear lot line. The lot is approximately 114 feet deep along the west property line and approximately 20 feet deep along the east property line.At the midpoint,the lot is approximately 73 feet deep, 17 feet less than the 90-foot minimum lot depth requirement. 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 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 lot depth requirement,the applicant would be required to eliminate Lot #19,which meets all other development criteria and can be developed with a single-family residence that meets all remaining development criteria. 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 project site is adjacent to a wide curve in a public street, Kenyon Way, which limits vehicular visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of Grimaldi Road. The visibility issue has been resolved by providing a corner cutoff adjacent to the subject intersection,which in turn creates a physical limitation on Lot#19 from meeting the required 90 foot lot depth. C. The 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 lot depth requirement, the applicant would be required to eliminate Lot #19, thus increasing the size of the adjacent lots to where the lots are much larger than the other lots in the surrounding area and limiting the development potential of the project site when all other development criteria can be achieved. 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, a corner cutoff created to provide vehicle visibility at the intersection of Kenyon Way and a new extension of Grimaldi Road,.which restricts Lot#19 from complying with the lot depth requirement. 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 lot 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 that the project will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt a Item C—F123 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 15-21 VARIANCE DRC2014-01117 CALDWELL LAND SERVICES • MARCH 11, 2015 Page 3 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 recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prior to approving the requested Variance. 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 • recommends the City Council adopt 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. 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 1) Approval is for a Variance for a 17 foot reduction in the 90 foot lot depth requirement for Lot #17 of Tentative Tract Map 18508 for a site located northwest corner of Kenyon Way and Lark Drive; APN: 1089-011-04. 2) Approval is contingent upon Planning Commission approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18508 and City Council approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2014-00560 and Victoria Community Plan Amendment DRC2014-00561 and their adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts, the Mitigation Monitoring Program and all mitigations contained therein for all of the project components.
