Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above -referenced public hearing on June 10, 2020, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. General Plan Land Use Policy LU-1.1 encourages the protection of neighborhoods from the encroachment of incompatible activities or land uses that may have a negative impact on the residential living environment. Regulating the operational standards for short-term rental located in residential neighborhoods will reduce potential impacts created by the intensified land use; and b. General Plan Public Safety Goal PS-4, Provide a high level of public safety services throughout Rancho Cucamonga, can continue to be achieved through partnerships between rental hosts, Community Improvement, City Police and Fire services designed to promote safety in short-term rental and reduce nuisance activity in residential neighborhoods. 3. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed Municipal Code Amendment does not propose any physical change to the environment itself. The amendment establishes the permitted zoning districts where Exhibit A PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 20-28 MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA June 10, 2020 Page 2 an existing single-family dwelling unit, designed for overnight occupancy, can be used as a short- term rental with the approval of a short-term rental permit. The amendment is a procedural change and does not eliminate the need for the future entitlements at a specific location that may be subject to CEQA. Therefore, the amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Municipal Code Amendment as indicated in Attachment A incorporated herein by this reference. 5.
